Live From Minneapolis! (Hoppe Hour With Ryan Hoppe: 4.24.26) · Hoppe Radio (Hoppe Hour) With Ryan Hoppe

• 0:00
  Coffee Hour starts live in less than 10 minutes.
• 0:02
  Stand by. Here is Mike Vrabel. Let me first begin
• 0:15
  by saying thank you. Thank you for your patience.
• 0:19
  Oh, we're so patient. Mike, we don't give a crap.
• 0:22
  You cheated on your wife. That you've shown in
• 0:25
  a personal and private matter. Oh yeah, it wasn't
• 0:28
  very private. I caught you cheating on your wife
• 0:30
  with a promiscuous reporter, bro. We ain't stupid.
• 0:34
  You weren't playing card games. For me and obviously
• 0:38
  everybody involved, I know that... Yeah, your
• 0:41
  wife that you cheated on. That's not easy for
• 0:44
  you, and I respect that, and I appreciate your
• 0:47
  efforts in doing... What efforts? You put in
• 0:50
  no effort. You have a failed marriage. I think
• 0:53
  so. I understand I could have addressed you guys
• 0:57
  sooner. Yeah, but you're a coward. You claim
• 0:59
  to be a man of the people. You claim to be relatable
• 1:03
  to Patriots fandom. But you're a loser. In the
• 1:08
  Super Bowl and in life. But it was important
• 1:10
  to me to have a conversation with the players,
• 1:13
  which I did yesterday. Oh yeah, you guys know
• 1:15
  how you cheated on your wife? I did too. Very
• 1:19
  candidly, as we began our off -season program.
• 1:23
  Oh, yeah. Next year, the Chiefs are going to
• 1:26
  have Eric Biennemi back. You ain't going anywhere.
• 1:29
  Which everyone is excited to be a part of. You're
• 1:31
  a one -year wonder, and you should have won.
• 1:36
  Stacey had mentioned the players' availability,
• 1:39
  and it was never my intention to have them speak
• 1:42
  to you or address you before I did. Oh, yeah.
• 1:45
  You should have said this a week ago. But you
• 1:48
  hid and had your GM talk for you. Because not
• 1:51
  only are you a coward as a father and as a man,
• 1:54
  as a husband, you're a coward as a coach. And
• 1:57
  so I asked him to come today and to talk with
• 2:01
  you. Yeah. You don't know what to say because
• 2:06
  you're lying. And the whole Patriots media kisses
• 2:09
  your ass. I also don't want to take away from
• 2:11
  our, you know. The draft, the weekend of the
• 2:15
  draft. Oh, the important things. No, this is
• 2:18
  an important time for us. Oh, is it? And our
• 2:21
  organization and the excitement and the joy that
• 2:24
  those players are going to have that we bring
• 2:26
  onto our football team. You are so boring. No
• 2:30
  wonder you lost it at Seahawks. They're starting
• 2:33
  an amazing journey. Shut up. One that should
• 2:36
  be celebrated. You applaud Diana Rossini and
• 2:40
  we know it. As we welcome them onto our team.
• 2:45
  You're no worse, dude. You're hiding. You think
• 2:50
  you're above us. You think you're better than
• 2:53
  us. But you're another mortal human being with
• 2:56
  a failed marriage. And you think you're so wise.
• 3:00
  Oh, the wise of Mike Vrabel. Shut up. With that
• 3:06
  being said. Yeah. You know. You got nothing to
• 3:11
  say. You're lying. Whenever someone has to take
• 3:13
  20 seconds to talk, they're lying. I've had some
• 3:16
  difficult conversations with. Oh, honey, I was
• 3:18
  cheating on you. The people that I care about
• 3:21
  with my. You don't care about them. You care
• 3:23
  about them. You want to applaud Diana Rossini.
• 3:25
  Family, the organization, the coaches, the players.
• 3:30
  Those have been positive and productive. Shut
• 3:32
  up. You know, we believe in order to be successful
• 3:36
  on and off the field, you have to make good decisions.
• 3:39
  Yeah, you loved when you were having sex with
• 3:41
  her, but you just got caught. That includes me.
• 3:44
  Shut up! Starts with me. You never want our actions
• 3:49
  to negatively affect the team. It didn't affect
• 3:52
  the team. It infected your marriage, dude. Whatever.
• 4:03
  Now to FBI Director Kash Patel. Drunken loser!
• 4:07
  speaking about his $250 million defamation suit
• 4:10
  against the Atlantic Magazine. If you're having
• 4:13
  to sue a magazine about you being a drunk, even
• 4:16
  though we saw you chugging beer with the hockey
• 4:18
  team, takes on taxpayers' money like a loser.
• 4:22
  We know you're a drunk. Denying charges. Of course
• 4:25
  he's going to deny it. What's he going to say?
• 4:27
  I'm a drunken idiot. For behavior in an article
• 4:30
  published about him. He just looks like a drunk.
• 4:34
  You look at him. Investigative correspondent
• 4:36
  Aaron Katurski has that story for us. Oh, I love
• 4:39
  when Aaron reports. Good morning, Aaron. Good
• 4:41
  morning, Robin. The FBI director defended his
• 4:43
  job performance and denounced claims about his
• 4:46
  drinking, saying... Well, let's be honest. He
• 4:48
  has been awful. He's never been drunk at work.
• 4:51
  Ha, ha, ha! Shut up! You weren't technically
• 4:55
  at work with the Olympic team, you scumbag! This
• 4:59
  morning, FBI Director Kash Patel is taking aim
• 5:02
  at the Atlantic, which published claims of unexplained
• 5:07
  absences, impulsive decision -making, and excessive
• 5:10
  drinking. I've never been intoxicated on the
• 5:12
  job. Of course you have, and you probably bang
• 5:15
  women. This is why we filed a $250 million defamation
• 5:18
  lawsuit. Why are your eyes always bulging out
• 5:21
  of your head? Because you're drunk, you scumbag.
• 5:28
  $50 million defamation lawsuit, and any one of
• 5:31
  you that wants to participate, bring it on. I'll
• 5:33
  see you in... I'll see you in court! So you're
• 5:36
  going to have to go through a deposition, or
• 5:38
  you're going to have to go under oath in court.
• 5:40
  Patel is now suing for defamation and lashing
• 5:43
  out at reporters. I can say... Drunken douchebag!
• 5:47
  Unequivocally, that I never listen to the fake
• 5:49
  news mafia. Oh, the mafia! You're the mafia!
• 5:53
  You work for the mafia, you douchebag. And as
• 5:56
  when they get louder, it just means I'm doing
• 5:58
  my job. Oh, yeah, you're totally killing it.
• 6:05
  Senator Kornickle said members of his security
• 6:07
  detail had difficulty waking Patel because he
• 6:10
  was seemingly intoxicated. He just looks like
• 6:13
  that dude that was a loser on the playground.
• 6:16
  Everyone beat up and he got a power trip. Also
• 6:20
  said a request for breaching equipment normally
• 6:22
  used by SWAT and hostage rescue teams to quickly
• 6:25
  gain entry into buildings was made last year
• 6:27
  because Patel had been unreachable behind locked
• 6:31
  doors. Patel's boss, Acting Attorney General
• 6:35
  Todd Blanche, another kiss -ass loser, said he
• 6:38
  had not read the article but disputed its contents.
• 6:41
  Oh, so how are you going to dispute it if you
• 6:43
  haven't read it? You're all a bunch of liars.
• 6:46
  Shut up! You mega kiss asses. likes to cook for
• 6:56
  the family. Dave Grohl opens up about his home
• 6:58
  life with his wife and kids. Oh, the wife he
• 7:01
  cheated on. He reminds me of morning radio hosts
• 7:05
  that cheat on their wife, but they try to control
• 7:08
  the narrative like, oh, it was an accident when
• 7:11
  I completely had sex with a woman and completed
• 7:13
  the task. Two years after fathering a child outside
• 7:17
  his marriage. And I'm sure he's totally not a
• 7:21
  deadbeat dad. The Foo Fighters front man reveals
• 7:24
  how he reconnects with his loved ones including
• 7:27
  wife jordan and their three kids oh yeah i'll
• 7:30
  be honest i posted a rant about uh dave kroll
• 7:33
  and some woman that claimed she had sex with
• 7:36
  him now i'm not gonna say she did but she knew
• 7:38
  a lot about jordan and supposedly jordan allegedly
• 7:43
  in another world was originally a side chick
• 7:47
  So he loves his side chicks. It's 20 -year -old
• 7:51
  Violet May, 17 -year -old Harper Willow, and
• 7:54
  11 -year -old Ophelia Saint after being out on
• 7:56
  the road. Dave tells the Dish podcast during
• 7:59
  its April 22nd episode. Well, the first thing
• 8:02
  I do when I come home from being on tour is bang
• 8:05
  another woman and knock them up. I like to cook
• 8:08
  for the family. Now he's being so likable. And
• 8:12
  these kiss -ass interviewers that are happy to
• 8:14
  have him. Let the celebrities say what they want
• 8:17
  to say. If I was there, I'd be like, when you
• 8:19
  come home from a tour, do you bang your sidekick?
• 8:22
  So, I love to get straight into the kitchen.
• 8:25
  Oh, yeah. Whether it's making a roast. And you
• 8:27
  like getting in other women, dude. Having kids.
• 8:30
  Just over the weekend. Or it's a pasta. I usually
• 8:33
  like. You see how he's trying to be the fan?
• 8:36
  Family man now. He used to almost never talk
• 8:39
  about his family, but now he's a family man.
• 8:42
  Bring the comfort. I'm home, and I bring the
• 8:45
  comfort to the kids. And you comfort your side
• 8:48
  chicks you cheat on your wife with, and you're
• 8:51
  not even responsible enough to get a vasectomy.
• 8:53
  However, Grohl's family life hasn't been without
• 8:55
  its ups and downs. A little bit more of downs
• 8:58
  when you're going down to help him get ready.
• 9:00
  With him sharing in September 2024 that he welcomed
• 9:03
  a fourth daughter outside of his marriage. Can
• 9:05
  you imagine being a daughter and you're the product
• 9:07
  of a side chick? He wrote on Instagram at the
• 9:11
  time, I plan to be a loving and supportive parent
• 9:13
  to her. Oh, you're going to be so great. You're
• 9:16
  going to teach her morals. I love my wife and
• 9:18
  children, and I'm doing everything I can to regain
• 9:20
  their trust and earn their forgiveness. He reminds
• 9:23
  me of Tampa Morning Radio. Is it a rock band?
• 9:27
  Thinks he's better than people and cheats on
• 9:29
  his wife. Oh, wait. Did I say that out loud?
• 9:32
  Tampa Morning Radio is so loyal. They never do
• 9:36
  that. They're great people. Tiffany Hanyard.
• 9:45
  She's the worst. She's a heck. She's terrible.
• 9:50
  Well, Terrence, Tiffany Hanyard. We're saying
• 9:52
  her name again here in Dalton. Can Tiffany Hanyard
• 9:55
  just go away? She's the absolute worst. She makes
• 9:58
  women look bad. She makes everyone look bad.
• 10:01
  She makes human beings look bad. She's probably
• 10:03
  the reason aliens haven't visited. They're like,
• 10:06
  I don't want to be on the same planet as Tiffany
• 10:08
  Henniard. She's a liar. She has fake hair. She
• 10:28
  has a fake personality. Of course she would lie.
• 10:31
  Moved to Fulton County last May. She was still
• 10:35
  technically mayor of Dalton and being paid as
• 10:38
  mayor of Dalton. But she moved there and she
• 10:41
  wants to remain on the ballot. And they looked
• 10:43
  at her case. Oh, Georgia, you got to deal with
• 10:46
  that moron. And they approved. They said she
• 10:49
  can't stay on the ballot in Fulton. Enjoy that,
• 10:51
  Georgia. You got backwards laws and you let a
• 10:54
  backwards politician join. So she's running for
• 10:58
  county commissioner in their primary next month
• 11:01
  and she is running as a Republican. Oh, yeah.
• 11:05
  She was so Democratic in Illinois. She's fake
• 11:08
  like Trump. She began as a Democrat and became
• 11:11
  a Republican to Greg. Because she knows she was
• 11:15
  kicked out of Illinois and she needed to go somewhere.
• 11:18
  If you're calling yourself super mayor, you're
• 11:25
  a loser. She tried, but she failed because she's
• 11:31
  a moron. She makes other people of color look
• 11:38
  bad. If you're a fan of tiffany henyard you have
• 11:46
  the iq of two and she was investigated by the
• 11:49
  fbi for government spending by former mayor federal
• 11:51
  prosecutor lori lightfoot an independent investigation
• 11:55
  yeah when you have lori lightfoot looking into
• 11:58
  you being corrupt which lori lightfoot was corrupt
• 12:02
  that's weird lightfoot found that the henyard
• 12:06
  administration ran up credit cards and And spent
• 12:09
  without keeping track of what they were buying.
• 12:11
  Here in Dalton, the residents know that she brought
• 12:13
  attention to their town and they were polite.
• 12:16
  And made the town look bad. And if you're polite
• 12:18
  towards her, you're pretty much endorsing her.
• 12:21
  When finding out, Hanyard is running again. Why
• 12:25
  is everyone in Illinois so nice to her? She's
• 12:27
  a moron. Again, okay. learn because she was Democratic
• 12:42
  in Illinois and now she's Republican in Georgia.
• 12:46
  She's a moron. She's a liar and a failure. I'm
• 12:51
  not going to let you talk. You're defending your
• 12:54
  own kind and that's fine, but she's not going
• 12:57
  to learn because she was never Republican and
• 12:59
  now she's Democratic. She's lying like this moron.
• 13:10
  Oh yeah, we are live in Minneapolis. Let's get
• 13:14
  into it. Welcome to Hoppy Hour. Doors closing.
• 13:31

• 15:12
  tweet at me at RiotHappyRadio. You can always
• 15:16
  email me. RiotHappyRadio at gmail .com. We have
• 15:19
  so much we need to catch up on. But you know.
• 15:24
  Every Friday. Well, every Monday, when I remember,
• 15:27
  we do a case of the Mondays. But on Fridays,
• 15:32
  we got to do this, ladies and gentlemen, boys
• 15:36
  and girls. Hold up. My mom's in there. She about
• 15:45
  to go to work, though. Hey, I know you don't
• 15:49
  smoke weed. I know this. But I'm going to get
• 15:53
  you high today. Because it's Friday, you ain't
• 15:56
  got no job, and you ain't got shit to do. One
• 15:59
  more time. Hold up. My mom's in there. She about
• 16:05
  to go to work, though. Hey, I know you don't
• 16:09
  smoke weed. I know this. But I'm going to get
• 16:12
  you high today. Because it's Friday, you ain't
• 16:16
  got no job, and you ain't got shit to do. It
• 16:19
  is Friday, and... I am in Minnesota on kind of
• 16:24
  a business trip and hanging out with my good
• 16:26
  friend, Allie. But we'll get to that. But today's
• 16:32
  Friday. So Wednesday night, I was going to this
• 16:35
  place called Smoke Depot in Illinois to get kava.
• 16:41
  And it was kind of a nice drive because you're
• 16:43
  going through like Harwood Heights, which is
• 16:45
  right outside the city of Chicago. And that's
• 16:48
  how I used to drive to see my grandpa. So it
• 16:50
  was very nostalgic for me. But the thing, ladies
• 16:52
  and gentlemen, boys and girls, was the fact that
• 16:55
  because I kept going in, they said to me, hey,
• 16:58
  would you want this edible? I said, is it an
• 17:03
  indica? And they go, no, this edible is a hybrid.
• 17:09
  And they go, okay, whatever. so i go home record
• 17:13
  happy hour the you know drunken show i did and
• 17:16
  um i go you know what it's time to do the edible
• 17:22
  of course i was not done editing my podcast and
• 17:26
  what was funny was there's a radio guy who's
• 17:28
  very nice his name is ryan gibbons he worked
• 17:30
  on the danny bonaduce show for many years and
• 17:33
  i worked with sarah over there in um seattle
• 17:37
  and um I tagged him. You know how in all my social
• 17:42
  media posts I go, check it out. Is Ryan Hoppy
• 17:44
  of Hoppy Hour? Yeah. I tagged him. So he didn't
• 17:48
  reply. I don't know what you would say to a video
• 17:50
  of me ranting about Tiffany Hanyard. But here
• 17:54
  we are. And my mom was watching Chicago Fire.
• 18:00
  She loves her Chicago Fire and Chicago PD shows.
• 18:03
  And my mom, it was quite funny. My mom, I wanted
• 18:09
  to talk to her. And my mom kind of told me to
• 18:12
  shut up. I kept talking. She was trying to watch
• 18:17
  her show. So you know what happened? I stopped
• 18:20
  talking. And then the edible was really beginning
• 18:24
  to hit me. So that was when I went to bed. And
• 18:29
  I literally slept 12 hours. The last time I slept
• 18:33
  that long after taking an edible was when I was
• 18:35
  on my Kelta cruise. Only that time I forgot how
• 18:38
  to cut steak. That was very weird. 856 -49 -HAPPY.
• 18:44
  That's 856 -494 -6773. You can tweet at me at
• 18:49
  Ryan Happy Radio. What else do we got here? So
• 18:54
  my plane yesterday was postponed because of thunderstorms
• 18:59
  in Minneapolis. And what was funny was there's
• 19:06
  two parts. So I was supposed to get to Minneapolis
• 19:08
  at nine and then my friend Allie would pick me
• 19:11
  up. But no, I got to Minneapolis at 11 p .m.
• 19:15
  And poor Allie had to be up at 4 a .m. to work
• 19:19
  at her job. So she goes to work. And then what
• 19:26
  happens is. There's this radio show I absolutely
• 19:30
  love and they're edgy, but they're Minnesota
• 19:32
  nice. It's called the 93X Half -Assed Morning
• 19:35
  Show and it's over at Cumulus and they've been
• 19:37
  on air 27 years. And I've been emailing Josh
• 19:41
  over the years, like talking about the Timberwolves
• 19:44
  or whatever. And he said, if you're ever in town,
• 19:47
  we would love to give you a tour. So that picture
• 19:49
  is on Ryan Hoppy Radio. You can see how giddy
• 19:51
  I am because I've met a lot of my favorite radio
• 19:53
  shows and a lot of them were very rude. bunch
• 19:56
  of douchebags so it's very nice to meet somebody
• 19:59
  that was nice to me but uh also going back to
• 20:03
  my flight to minneapolis it was fascinating last
• 20:06
  night we landed like i don't know 10 20 and we
• 20:10
  had to wait on the tarmac for like 15 minutes
• 20:12
  they never said why but some firemen literally
• 20:15
  were on the plane and now it was a little off
• 20:18
  -putting so that happened What else do I got
• 20:24
  here? This trip was humbling too. Like when I
• 20:27
  was at 93X, they were asking me about radio and
• 20:31
  it was cool and whatnot. But when I'm in Illinois,
• 20:34
  my family does not care about my radio career.
• 20:39
  They care about me and it's refreshing. But it's
• 20:43
  also kind of like, oh, well, I do this and that.
• 20:45
  And they're like, no, we love you for who you
• 20:47
  are. Relax. Especially the love I feel. the sadness
• 20:52
  though, when I go to visit, um, so I had a funeral
• 20:57
  and out of the funeral at a, uh, cemetery across
• 21:00
  the block from, uh, Harper college. Uh, my uncle
• 21:06
  Ken, my Bapa, when I had a hard time seeing grandpa,
• 21:09
  he died in 99. And then my uncle Bob that died
• 21:12
  in 2018. They're all buried in, like, the same
• 21:15
  area. And then they got a plaque that they split.
• 21:17
  And then my dad's right there. And then my mom's
• 21:19
  going to be there when she dies in 32 years and
• 21:22
  lives to 100. So it's very weird when you just
• 21:26
  see, like, oh, my dad's been dead for 12 years.
• 21:29
  Or, oh, my uncle already two years. So that was
• 21:32
  humbling, too. Not just, you know. Being somewhere
• 21:35
  where people know me for me and not radio. But
• 21:37
  the whole trip was fascinating. But give us a
• 21:40
  call. 856 -49 -HAPPY. You might notice I'm not
• 21:42
  as rambunctious today. I can't be because I'm
• 21:45
  in a basement right now. I don't want to freak
• 21:48
  out the neighbors. So we're going to play some
• 21:50
  of the... Shut up, Sophie. We are going to do
• 21:54
  this thing where we play the celebrity news clips.
• 22:03
  Sorry, I'm texting somebody and being rude. Here
• 22:05
  is Sophie Rain saying that men come up to her
• 22:07
  and touch her in public. A lot of people think
• 22:10
  that's just come up to me and touch me whenever
• 22:12
  they want to. Have people tried that? 100 % people
• 22:14
  have. And I think that's definitely like a con
• 22:18
  that I'd like to say out there. Like, obviously,
• 22:20
  these men, they see you online. And when they
• 22:22
  see you in person, they're obviously going to
• 22:23
  think that they can do anything. Yeah, the problem
• 22:26
  is when you're putting out content, you're putting
• 22:28
  out. Literally and figuratively, the guys get
• 22:33
  a parasocial jerk -off relationship. And it's
• 22:37
  just not okay to just go up and touch someone
• 22:38
  randomly. I just don't think that's okay regardless
• 22:40
  if I'm up. I don't like this comment from some
• 22:42
  incel. If you shake your ass for cash online,
• 22:45
  don't cry when strangers touch it. It's a job.
• 22:48
  They have to do taxes on it. Mm -hmm. You can't
• 22:53
  just go up to a basketball player at the airport
• 22:54
  and go, hey, you want to shoot the hoops? Online
• 22:57
  or not. But a lot of my fan interactions are
• 22:59
  actually really great. Like a lot of them just
• 23:02
  know me from TikTok. And they'll come up. They'll
• 23:04
  ask for a picture. They'll ask what I'm doing
• 23:06
  here. How's my day going? I'll normally ask them
• 23:09
  what's a good place to go around here because
• 23:10
  most of the times they're locals. And it's great.
• 23:13
  I love meeting new people. Yeah, you love meeting
• 23:15
  new people. I'm still confused if she's a virgin
• 23:18
  or not. Here is an interesting headline right
• 23:24
  here. Fabulous. Breathe. Oh, you got to breathe.
• 23:30
  One and a two, two, two, and a three, three,
• 23:33
  three. Well, here he is, Fabulous, talking about
• 23:37
  an awkward moment he had with Kim and Kanye.
• 23:41
  Oh, you know, I did this once a show where I
• 23:43
  have Instagram muted. My bad. Here we go. Kanye,
• 23:47
  and we was going to some, like a game his kids
• 23:49
  had. And when we first got there, we walk in
• 23:52
  there. Mm -hmm. He probably thinks he's better.
• 24:20
  Than fabulous. Although I'd rather hang out in
• 24:23
  the club with fabulous. If I'm being honest.
• 24:25
  Here is Jada Pinkett Smith saying she won't divorce
• 24:29
  well. Everybody's always like, why don't you
• 24:31
  just get divorced? And it's like, that's like
• 24:35
  quitting. Yeah, that's that boomer thing. I don't
• 24:40
  think there's any person that could embrace the
• 24:43
  best and the worst of me and be able, be willing
• 24:47
  to hold space in the way that will hold space
• 24:52
  for me and the way that I hold space for him.
• 24:55
  There's no greater mirror I could have. than
• 24:59
  Will. He doesn't, I can't, I can't get around
• 25:02
  myself just like he can't get around himself
• 25:05
  with me. Would it be easier to go and find somebody
• 25:09
  else and have a more pleasing, more comfortable
• 25:11
  relationship? Maybe. But would that get me to
• 25:15
  the person? She's the worst. She literally is
• 25:18
  Fish Mooney, the character she played. 8 -5 -6
• 25:23
  -49 Hoppy. 8 -5 -6 -4 -9 -4 -6 -7 -7 -3. This
• 25:29
  is an interesting headline here. Let me pause
• 25:32
  this. All right. Jaguar star Travis Hunter. His
• 25:37
  wife, Leanna, gives advice to players, girlfriends,
• 25:41
  and wives. The Wags. I see a couple girls doing
• 25:45
  advice for girls who are adults to go to the...
• 25:51
  Turn down that music, honey. What the hell are
• 25:53
  you doing? So here's my advice. Don't... I'm
• 25:58
  getting the camera because if you get the camera
• 25:59
  like too much, you are an attention whore. And
• 26:04
  what are you? And you want this to. All right.
• 26:10
  I can't listen to that. I think they just had
• 26:13
  a kid. That might be like the kids music in the
• 26:15
  background. It's kind of. Someone that hosts
• 26:22
  a podcast that's known as rich and unemployed
• 26:26
  was sentenced to seven years in prison. Oh, goody,
• 26:29
  goody gumdrops. What an idiot. What else do we
• 26:34
  have here? Nicki Minaj is expected to attend
• 26:37
  this weekend's White House Correspondents Dinner.
• 26:40
  Probably, you know, have sex with Trump after.
• 26:43
  Okay, I saw this headline here and I thought
• 26:46
  this was repulsive. I like blue face. I think
• 26:49
  it's music. It's utter trash. But I respect his
• 26:53
  brand. I think he's kind of funny. I think he's
• 26:55
  kind of entertaining. Mm -hmm. But here's the
• 26:59
  problem with Blueface. He's still got that, like,
• 27:03
  thug energy in him. Someone you wouldn't want
• 27:06
  your daughter to date. By the way, I got my Mitra
• 27:10
  9 cava right here. Let's open it up. Oh, yeah,
• 27:13
  let me drink it. Okay. So Blueface said something
• 27:19
  interesting. He defends his parenting skills.
• 27:24
  Says he will not hit a child, but will beat the
• 27:27
  F out of a grown -ass bitch. Ah, father of the
• 27:30
  year. Three -year -old. Bro, bro. Three -year
• 27:34
  -old, I don't beat little girls up. But I'll
• 27:38
  beat the fuck out of a grown -ass. Domestic abuse.
• 27:42
  You're a bitch. You got the IQ of 40. Because
• 27:49
  you should know better. You will get fought back.
• 27:51
  I mean, she don't know better. She's still adjusting
• 27:53
  to her emotions, you know, you know, being irrational
• 27:57
  and just, you know. But you grown, bitches. You'll
• 28:03
  get fought back. All right, there you go. What
• 28:05
  a smart guy. I'm sure he's a high school graduate.
• 28:10
  He's a real rocket scientist. That blue face.
• 28:15
  Donald Trump claims he has a bigger crowd than
• 28:17
  Martin Luther King Jr. The memorial has a beautiful
• 28:22
  reflecting pond or lake. They call it a pool
• 28:25
  lake and pond. The word reflecting is a good
• 28:31
  term. It was built in 1922 and it was built out
• 28:35
  of granite and various stones. All right, damn.
• 28:53
  What a weird guy. He thinks so highly of himself
• 28:57
  for looking like a douchebag. He welcomes two
• 29:01
  -year -old... Travis Smith, who was born deaf
• 29:04
  but now can hear after taking Miracle Cure. Announcing
• 29:07
  that the FDA has just approved a new drug from
• 29:10
  Regeneron called Otarmony, a gene therapy curing
• 29:15
  a rare disease that causes deafness. Why do you
• 29:18
  say it? Deaf. People are totally deaf and it's
• 29:23
  deaf. It's amazing. I've seen some work on it.
• 29:27
  It's actually hard to believe we're going to
• 29:28
  talk about it in a minute. Normally cures for
• 29:31
  rare disease. I'm surprised he can read. It can
• 29:33
  cost millions of dollars and really the results
• 29:38
  aren't that good. What about grocery prices and
• 29:40
  gas prices? But in this case, I'm pleased to
• 29:45
  say that Regeneron will be giving this away for
• 29:48
  free for a period of time. The kid's like, shut
• 29:52
  up. I hate you. You do good things once in a
• 29:56
  while. And then Meg is like, see, he's great.
• 29:59
  he'll do one good thing and a mag is like see
• 30:02
  um we'll talk about this later but ex -michigan
• 30:07
  coach sharon moore's mistress page silver said
• 30:10
  uh she had complete he had complete control over
• 30:14
  her career and emotions so pretty much the ex
• 30:18
  -coach of michigan sharon moore his side chick
• 30:21
  page silver says he had complete control over
• 30:24
  here over her every time i tried to pull away
• 30:27
  he always had a way to pull me back in i don't
• 30:31
  know what it is about these women especially
• 30:34
  when they're side chicks who Cannot take accountability.
• 30:40
  It's everybody else's fault. It's kind of sad.
• 30:46
  Like you literally ruined a marriage. You literally
• 30:49
  ruined your career there. But hey, no one gets
• 30:52
  me. I'm a victim. Shut up. You didn't mind when
• 30:58
  you were going up and down on him and he was
• 31:00
  giving you all the perks. What is BBC? And I
• 31:05
  ain't talking about the British Broadcasting
• 31:07
  Company. But you loved it in the moment. Because
• 31:12
  it made you cool. Because you're a cloud chaser.
• 31:14
  Now, you're like, I don't want to address it.
• 31:18
  Shut up. Although she is hot. But this is going
• 31:22
  to follow her forever. When she has kids in the
• 31:25
  future, they're going to be like, Mommy, why
• 31:26
  are you so stupid? Because I am. I have a chance
• 31:31
  to succeed in life, but as of right now, I'm
• 31:33
  just a dumb Gen Z kid. That was in high school
• 31:36
  during COVID, so I'm all mentally messed up.
• 31:40
  But you know she's fun in bed. Oh, that singer
• 31:43
  D4VD David had underage porn on his phone. That's
• 31:46
  just what you want to hear. Jada Pinkett Smith
• 31:51
  is asking a judge to force bylaw sellout to pay
• 31:54
  the attorney fees. I saw this headline here.
• 31:58
  And I love narcissists, not literally, but figuratively.
• 32:01
  I love when a good narcissist, when they claim
• 32:06
  to be your friend and you started a job and they're
• 32:09
  trying to recruit you and they're trying to be
• 32:11
  nice, but then when it's time to pony up money
• 32:14
  or give opportunities, they don't. And why am
• 32:18
  I saying that? Because I saw this headline here
• 32:21
  and it shows how much of a coward Call Her Daddy
• 32:24
  and her stupid husband is. So the Unwell Network,
• 32:27
  which is properly named because everyone there
• 32:29
  is unwell. Alex Cooper and her husband skipped
• 32:33
  an all hands -on staff meeting after allegations
• 32:37
  of bad behavior. Things might be a bit unwell
• 32:42
  in Alex Cooper's world. She and her husband.
• 32:44
  Douchebag Matt Kaplan reportedly skipped an all
• 32:47
  -hands -on meeting following gripes about his
• 32:49
  behavior. Onwell's chief marketing officer, T
• 32:52
  .J. Marchetti, held the meeting and discussed
• 32:56
  the continued expansion of the company. I bet
• 32:59
  he was just talking numbers and how their downloads
• 33:02
  went up 400%. Here's the funny part. Is this
• 33:08
  guy right here her husband? is one of those like
• 33:12
  pretty boys where you know he's nice to the people
• 33:14
  that can do something for him but to any of the
• 33:17
  underlings he was saying i'll make sure you never
• 33:19
  succeed in hollywood you're a sociopathic loser
• 33:22
  if you view things that way like if you really
• 33:25
  care that much if someone succeeds that's because
• 33:28
  deep down you know you might have had a career
• 33:31
  before alex cooper but without alex cooper no
• 33:34
  one really knows who you are no one really cares
• 33:36
  who you are But then you got to bang Alex Cooper
• 33:40
  and work for the biggest podcast in the world.
• 33:42
  And now you're acting like the man. Man, funk
• 33:45
  that. At the end of the day, you are going to
• 33:48
  die someday. And people are going to remember
• 33:50
  you as a liar and as a failure and as a scumbag.
• 33:54
  Now, you're not failing at the company. You're
• 33:56
  doing quite well. But as a human being with a
• 34:00
  heart, you are a failure. and when I heard that
• 34:04
  Alex Cooper has ghostwriters when she talks about
• 34:06
  sex, it really makes you wonder if she's any
• 34:09
  good in bed, which she probably isn't. There's
• 34:13
  this headline here. Here is Snooki talking about
• 34:15
  her cancer diagnosis. Oh, if this video wants
• 34:23
  to do this. All right, right here. Oh, I had
• 34:26
  not. TMZ muted. Here we go. The reality star
• 34:29
  is all grown up and facing a very real -life
• 34:32
  challenge. And it came back, stage one, cervical
• 34:36
  cancer. You must have been terrified. I was terrified.
• 34:40
  I was hysterically crying in my car, like, what
• 34:42
  am I going to do? I have three kids. I got to
• 34:44
  do my will. I haven't done my will yet. I'm,
• 34:46
  like, thinking about all these things. Nicole,
• 34:49
  who is unvaccinated, believes she could have
• 34:51
  avoided the diagnosis had she gone to her doctor
• 34:54
  -recommended follow -up visits. I just kept putting
• 34:58
  it off. I didn't like it. I would make it a year
• 35:00
  and a half. And then he calls me again, and he's
• 35:03
  screaming in my voicemail, Nicole, you've got
• 35:05
  to get this done. Snooki, come on! Do you have
• 35:08
  a lot of regret? I do. Like, why were you so
• 35:11
  scared? Nicole recently underwent a PET scan
• 35:14
  where the results thankfully showed her cancer
• 35:17
  had not spread. All right, well, I'm rooting
• 35:20
  for you, Snooki. I literally grew up watching
• 35:22
  you on TV. 856. 49 Hoppy. Oh, we forgot to do
• 35:28
  this in the beginning, but we're just kind of
• 35:29
  free. I don't know. Free balling is a word. I
• 35:33
  don't know what the hell I'm trying to say. It
• 35:34
  is time for the thing. No, it is Hoppy's inbox.
• 35:39
  It's time for Hoppy's inbox. Only on Hoppy Hour
• 35:42
  with Ryan Hoppy. Oh, yeah. My inbox blew up.
• 35:49
  All right. Let's see what we got here. Ryan,
• 35:53
  that is so cool that you got to visit the first
• 35:55
  station you ever worked at, WHCM 88 .3. Time
• 35:59
  flies. Are things much different? It was a little
• 36:02
  different there. What was different was the technology.
• 36:05
  It's like in the 2020s. When I was there, it
• 36:08
  was 2010 technology, and I loved it. Next message.
• 36:12
  My old boss, Dave DeLuger, who we first didn't
• 36:15
  really like each other, but I was kind of an
• 36:17
  immature brat. And now we're good. He goes, it's
• 36:20
  changed a lot since then, huh? I thought that
• 36:22
  was funny. I did a video about that douchebag
• 36:26
  Green Bay radio host Otis Day. And someone said,
• 36:29
  your show in this video is underrated. I will
• 36:31
  come back to watch again. and then on a video
• 36:35
  about tiffany henyard people go hopefully georgia
• 36:38
  will learn the lesson that illinois learned oh
• 36:42
  yeah time to go through everything happening
• 36:50
  in the room it's all happening all right i know
• 36:59
  The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is heading to
• 37:02
  Orange County. Oh, yeah. I feel like the Real
• 37:06
  Housewives are probably not that good and bad.
• 37:08
  They probably don't bring it, but these Mormon
• 37:10
  girls seem like they're fun. Hulu's Get Real
• 37:13
  House Live on April 22nd. A spinoff show is in
• 37:17
  the works. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Orange
• 37:19
  County will center on a new cast of mom talkers
• 37:22
  in Southern California. The cast includes Macy
• 37:25
  Neely's sister. I hate that term, mom talker.
• 37:27
  It sounds so douche. I'm a mom talker. Mm -hmm.
• 37:32
  Good for you, honey. Ah, they're a bunch of hot
• 37:44
  -ass women I've never heard of. But I'm sure
• 37:46
  there's plenty of people out there that'll love
• 37:49
  them. Oh, what's going on here? Speaking of...
• 37:56
  Crazy Mormon bronze. There might be a slight
• 38:00
  glimmer of hope regarding Taylor Frankie Paul's
• 38:02
  season of The Bachelorette ever seeing the light
• 38:04
  of day. It was so stupid that they canceled it.
• 38:09
  Especially if you're going to bring it back.
• 38:10
  But you know there's so many dudes that are probably
• 38:13
  trying to get famous. There were so many dudes
• 38:18
  that are like, you know what? Please bring it
• 38:19
  back. I want to be famous. I want to be famous.
• 38:22
  But don't expect it on TV screens anytime soon.
• 38:26
  It's going to be all news. She's going to have
• 38:30
  bang like 12 years since then. The vice president
• 38:33
  of Unscripted for Walt Disney TV, Rob Mills,
• 38:36
  tells The Wrap in an interview published. Well,
• 38:38
  that's the problem. They're being skanks on that.
• 38:41
  It's one thing. But Disney, not so much. That
• 38:46
  means we're trying to hope it goes away. The
• 38:53
  charges have already been dropped. You should
• 39:00
  have it when they're all on their cycle. That'd
• 39:01
  make for good entertainment. franchise he adds
• 39:06
  they are sort of really still processing everything
• 39:08
  and figuring it out yeah you know it's kind of
• 39:11
  hard because we saw the video of her beating
• 39:12
  the crap out of her family but hey at least the
• 39:15
  criminal charges were dropped the important things
• 39:19
  it made it clear that first and foremost honestly
• 39:21
  just making sure that taylor her family everyone
• 39:24
  is being taken care of just yeah the man wasn't
• 39:27
  taken care of when he got beat up but hey why
• 39:34
  Today on TNZ. Andy Collin. He went scorched earth.
• 39:40
  On Joe Rogan. Yeah, Andy Collin is just... I
• 39:45
  was listening to Howard Stern, the time of all
• 39:47
  the celebrities he brings in. He thinks he's
• 39:49
  better than you. Dared to endorse Spencer Pratt
• 39:53
  for mayor. I love Spencer Pratt. I think he'd
• 39:55
  be so funny as mayor. I mean, Carabass ain't
• 39:58
  it, dog? Mm -hmm. Rogan. An idiot. Why does he
• 40:04
  call Joe Rogan stupid? Why is Joe Rogan stupid?
• 40:06
  It's this virtue signaling because he doesn't
• 40:09
  agree with his views. Why not engage with Joe
• 40:11
  Rogan's ideas rather than just call Joe Rogan
• 40:13
  an idiot? Because that's America these days.
• 40:14
  And Andy Cohen's played into it. Oh, yeah. Andy
• 40:18
  Cohen. I like him. I respect how he does not
• 40:20
  show his kids' faces. Let it in, son. Mm -hmm.
• 40:26
  We just received the autopsy report in Celeste
• 40:30
  Rivas' death, for which David is now charged
• 40:33
  with her murder. And there were two wounds in
• 40:36
  particular. They believe that they may be penetrating
• 40:40
  wounds, which would not be wounds to dismember
• 40:44
  a body. Yeah, it's not really that good. Indication
• 40:47
  seems to me that some sort of knife was plunged
• 40:49
  into her, and it left just smooth edges. LeBron
• 40:52
  James. A lot of people think that this is his
• 40:54
  last year. So what happened? It is not his last
• 40:57
  year. You really think a narcissist like him
• 40:59
  is not going to have a goodbye party at every
• 41:00
  freaking game? Does he retire? Or could he go
• 41:03
  back to Cleveland? We talked to Iman Shumpert.
• 41:05
  Iman Shumpert won a championship with LeBron
• 41:07
  in Cleveland. Do you want to see LeBron go back
• 41:10
  to Cleveland? Did Iman Shumpert win a championship?
• 41:13
  I didn't know that. I did not think he won a
• 41:20
  championship. Let me see here. Yeah, he won in
• 41:24
  2016. I thought he did not know he's on that
• 41:26
  team. That would be the coolest story. Okay,
• 41:29
  what happens to Bronny? Bronny would have to

  go to Cleveland, too. Pack your bags. It will
• 41:32
  be said, whenever LeBron does announce his retirement,
• 41:34
  Bronny will pop up behind him going, I'm retiring,
• 41:36
  too. Kim Kardashian, Lewis Hamilton, they're
• 41:43
  on the beat. Oh yeah, they're making out. They're
• 41:46
  making out. They're in the ocean making out.
• 41:48
  Who makes out still anyway? Making out is nasty.
• 41:50
  Making out is nasty? You just go to third base
• 41:53
  right away? Wait, is third base boobies? No.
• 41:56
  Oh geez, that's a good old mouth egg. Mm -hmm.
• 42:00
  I love that term. The Billy Madison show says
• 42:02
  mouth egg. Tracy, give me a mouth egg. Mm. I
• 42:11
  slipped her an Altoid. Not as a joke, but I thought
• 42:15
  she might want one. George W. Bush. Michelle
• 42:17
  Obama probably has bad breath. Probably someone's
• 42:20
  like broccoli. Bush believes he knows why his
• 42:23
  friendship with Michelle Obama always makes headlines.
• 42:26
  It's almost like we should get along even despite
• 42:29
  the differences in politics. The former president
• 42:33
  sat down with daughter Jenna Bush Hager for a
• 42:36
  Today Show exclusive ahead of the USA's 250th
• 42:39
  anniversary and recalled his reaction to a viral
• 42:42
  2018 moment with the then first lady. The pair
• 42:46
  had been sitting together at John McCain's funeral
• 42:48
  when Bush was spotted handing Obama what... All
• 42:51
  right, so you gave them an altoid. Mm -hmm. That
• 42:56
  is such a loveless relationship right there between...
• 43:00
  Obama and Michelle. I think there's more love
• 43:03
  between Bush and Michelle. No! Happy Hot Topic!
• 43:08
  5 .56 on a Thursday morning. Here's a look at
• 43:11
  what's in the mix. A legal battle is now targeting
• 43:13
  the biggest YouTuber on the planet. Mr. Beast,
• 43:16
  who's... Yeah, he creeps me out, man. He looks
• 43:18
  like a sociopath. Real name is Jimmy Donaldson.
• 43:22
  What a nerd. Facing a lawsuit from a former employee.
• 43:25
  A rich nerd. Over alleged workplace misconduct.
• 43:29
  What a good guy. I'm not at all. You don't look
• 43:33
  at him and go, oh, yeah, that's my homie. Mm
• 43:36
  -hmm. No! Happy Hot Topic! Madonna is asking
• 43:41
  for help in locating a piece of pop history.
• 43:45
  Oh, yeah, Madonna. Man, heard Sabrina Carpenter
• 43:48
  perform. That had to be so surreal for Sabrina
• 43:51
  Carpenter. And also, Madonna looks freaking great
• 43:56
  for her age. Following her surprise performance
• 43:59
  with Sabrina Carpenter during the final weekend
• 44:02
  of Coachella 2026, the 67 -year -old announced
• 44:05
  that the vintage outfit she wore for the set
• 44:08
  had gone missing. Oh, yeah. It's good lingerie,
• 44:13
  but lingerie's stupid because you just end up
• 44:14
  having sex anyway. Mm -hmm. What's going on with
• 44:20
  this freaking loser? Whoa! Happy Hot Topic! David's
• 44:25
  legal journey continues. The singer, whose real
• 44:28
  name is David Anthony Burke, appeared in court
• 44:30
  three days after he was charged with one count
• 44:33
  of murder, one count of continuous sexual abuse
• 44:36
  of a child under the age of 14, and one count
• 44:39
  of unlawful mutilation of human remains regarding
• 44:42
  the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. He has
• 44:46
  pleaded not guilty to all charges. Could you
• 44:49
  imagine if he just pleaded to it? Also, no defense
• 44:52
  of him, but I think he was touched as a kid.
• 44:54
  There's something that happened in David's life
• 44:57
  that made him a weirdo. Or maybe he's just a
• 45:00
  bad guy. During the April 23rd hearing, per NBC
• 45:04
  News, Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles
• 45:07
  County, Beth Silverman, alleged the prosecution
• 45:09
  has discovered a, quote, significant amount of
• 45:12
  child sex abuse images on an iCloud account belonging
• 45:15
  to David. As of the time of the hearing... What
• 45:18
  a dummy. I mean, I'm glad he got caught. I'm
• 45:20
  glad he's a dummy, but let me just put underage
• 45:23
  video on this thing anyone can access. Only one
• 45:26
  terabyte of the eight on the account had been
• 45:28
  downloaded. Gross. He just looks like a sociopath
• 45:33
  with those eyes on him. He creeps me out. Teddy
• 45:39
  Mellencamp says her doctor refused her GLP -1
• 45:41
  request. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
• 45:44
  alum has been fighting stage four melanoma for
• 45:46
  over three years. And on an April 23rd episode
• 45:50
  of our Two Teas in a Pod podcast, she told co
• 45:53
  -host Dolores Catania she asked her doctor if
• 45:56
  she could start the weight loss drug. Aye, and
• 45:59
  she didn't. Oh, did she? Eight, five, six. 49
• 46:04
  Hoppy. Today's sidetrack news is going to be
• 46:06
  off the freaking wall. It's going to be crazy.
• 46:09
  We'll have that in a second. Bucky's is closing
• 46:13
  a location in Texas and everyone's freaking out.
• 46:16
  Chloe Cherry does not like, she does porn and
• 46:20
  she was on Euphoria originally and does not like
• 46:22
  Sidney Sweeney's scenes dressed up as a dog.
• 46:25
  And Nikki Glaser moved back to St. Louis. So
• 46:30
  there's that. Let me see what else we got here.
• 46:33
  We just talked about Teddy Mellencamp. I'm literally
• 46:35
  recording on a bed right now. And I got the podcast
• 46:38
  board to the left and my laptop on my lap. So
• 46:40
  that's why we're kind of just vibing. Oh, you
• 46:50
  mean the false documentary or movie that, you
• 46:58
  know, takes out the biggest part of Michael's
• 47:00
  life? even though he was found innocent. And
• 47:03
  about a feud between her siblings, Janet Jackson.
• 47:06
  You know that's one messed up family. And Jermaine
• 47:09
  Jackson. Telling Entertainment Tonight on the
• 47:12
  red carpet, there was absolutely no problem whatsoever,
• 47:15
  and please believe it. We're not going to believe
• 47:18
  it, honey. Because your family's so messed up.
• 47:22
  It's crazy how many of them are still alive.

  This is trending. Actress Meredith Salinger supports

• 48:15
  in the post she wishes she would have known Meredith

  planet, referring to Patton's 17 -year -old daughter,

  for the 56 -year -old to see her husband honor

  Michelle's memory. Writing on Instagram threads,

  a really smart person once told me, he said,

  have you ever noticed that you're not anxious
• 1:02:50
  at the airport? Meaning, I mean, you fly private
• 1:02:53
  a lot, but when you go to the airport or when
• 1:02:55
  you were on tour with Migos and things like that,
• 1:02:57
  it's like, okay, you get to the airport, you
• 1:03:01
  check in, you get through security, you get on

  mad you got caught. No, you don't. and the actions
• 1:04:06
  that caused a distraction to the people that
• 1:04:09
  I care most about. You don't care about them.
• 1:04:11
  If you did, you would have told her before, you
• 1:04:12
  moron. No. Shut your ass. Family, this football
• 1:04:17
  team, the organization, and our fans. All right,
• 1:04:20
  there you go. I'm dead. Can you imagine being...
• 1:04:25
  I keep thinking it's Diana Taurasi. I don't know
• 1:04:28
  why. A Boston radio host was fired for talking
• 1:04:34
  about Mike Vrabel. I don't like that. Yeah. The
• 1:04:38
  Patriot fans are whipped. Mike Vrabel is looking
• 1:04:43
  to get into counseling and get help. And then
• 1:04:47
  he calls the draft. The Patriots had the draft
• 1:04:51
  pick last night, and he called him and said,
• 1:04:53
  welcome to the team. And Dave Portnoy criticizes
• 1:04:56
  Mike Vrabel. Good. Finally, somebody from that
• 1:04:59
  universe. My Patriots fandom, dude. All right.
• 1:05:03
  Then we got this headline right here. Just hours
• 1:05:10
  before the NFL draft kicked off, new bombshell
• 1:05:13
  photos emerging. One showing Patriots head coach
• 1:05:16
  Mike Vrabel and former athletic NFL reporter
• 1:05:18
  Diana Rossini. Oh, yeah. allegedly kissing at
• 1:05:22
  a New York bar in 2020. Oh yeah, so this was
• 1:05:25
  just, you know, him with his standards. Shut
• 1:05:28
  up, you've been doing it forever. According to
• 1:05:30
  the New York Post, another published by TMZ Sports
• 1:05:33
  is said to show the pair at a Mississippi casino
• 1:05:35
  in early 2024. My priorities are my family and
• 1:05:39
  this football team. Oh yeah, I don't think your
• 1:05:41
  wife wants anything to do with you unless she
• 1:05:44
  has no credibility and stays with you. And in
• 1:05:46
  that order. Vrabel announcing on Thursday he's
• 1:05:48
  focusing on his family and seeking counseling,
• 1:05:51
  according to ESPN. This is all PR. I understand
• 1:05:56
  that there are questions, but I take accountability
• 1:06:00
  for my actions. If you took accountability, you
• 1:06:04
  would have told us sooner. You know, you'd be
• 1:06:07
  freaking out when those pictures got released
• 1:06:09
  of them on the rooftop. And I lost a lot of respect
• 1:06:13
  for him. I thought he was cool. Actions that
• 1:06:15
  caused a distraction to the people that I care
• 1:06:18
  most about. You don't care about them. They're
• 1:06:20
  just maniacs. Just weeks earlier, Vrabel saying
• 1:06:26
  photos published by the Post showed an innocent
• 1:06:29
  interaction and any suggestion otherwise was,
• 1:06:32
  quote, laughable. Oh yeah, I remember that. Now
• 1:06:35
  the embattled head coach pulling a complete 180.
• 1:06:38
  Remember when they said they were on a girls
• 1:06:40
  trip and he was just visiting and then they asked
• 1:06:41
  for any proof of group text messages? My previous
• 1:06:46
  actions don't meet the standard that I hold myself
• 1:06:51
  to. You don't hold yourself to anything. You're
• 1:06:53
  just like everyone else in the NFL. You're a
• 1:06:56
  dog! They don't. Yeah, they do. Shut up. We're
• 1:07:02
  not stupid, dude. Your wife might be for staying
• 1:07:05
  with you. Monica Lewinsky. Another original side
• 1:07:11
  chick. Mm -hmm. She had something very interesting
• 1:07:17
  happen. She jokes that you have to laugh at yourself.
• 1:07:22
  Yeah, she's like a cool side chick. I don't like
• 1:07:25
  when the liberal party tries to make her into
• 1:07:27
  like a pundit. It's like, yeah, she just slept
• 1:07:28
  around. Which is still cool. You know? You can't
• 1:07:34
  just hate on her. No, you can't. So right here,
• 1:07:39
  we have the clip of Monica Lewinsky laughing
• 1:07:43
  at herself. Not put Bill Clinton in my mouth.
• 1:08:01
  Oh. We're talking about finance. Exactly. What
• 1:08:06
  a hot piece of ass she is. I'm really... We could
• 1:08:11
  go a lot of different directions. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:08:14
  All right. Monica? I think just in the financial
• 1:08:21
  realm. Oh, my God. You cannot... All these feminists
• 1:08:28
  clapping for a side chick. Monica, I'm wondering
• 1:08:35
  if you ever felt that you were wrong in your
• 1:08:37
  career just for being a woman. I'm not playing
• 1:08:40
  that. No, she's wrong because she banged the
• 1:08:43
  president that was married, even though that's
• 1:08:46
  a loveless relationship. Speaking of a moron
• 1:08:49
  right here. Did you love him back then? I did,
• 1:08:56
  but obviously. Here's the side chick that was
• 1:08:59
  banging Sharon Moore, the coach of Michigan.
• 1:09:02
  Taking no accountability. Just like every other
• 1:09:04
  side chick trying to get famous from it because
• 1:09:07
  you're a victim. Shut up. Women want equal rights.
• 1:09:10
  They want to be taken seriously, but then when
• 1:09:12
  they get caught sleeping around, that's when
• 1:09:14
  they're like, I don't want to be taken seriously
• 1:09:15
  with that. And really reflecting on what happened,
• 1:09:19
  what was happening. That's, yeah, that's. Not
• 1:09:24
  love at all. What a hot piece of ass sociopathic
• 1:09:27
  liar. Paige Shiver, now 32, says she was - She's
• 1:09:31
  32? I mean, she looks good. I thought she was
• 1:09:34
  younger. So yeah, at least if you're in your
• 1:09:36
  early 20s and you were in high school during
• 1:09:38
  COVID, you're all mentally messed up. But you're
• 1:09:40
  a grown ass woman. Shut up. You're eight years
• 1:09:44
  away from 40. If you live to 64, you're middle
• 1:09:47
  -aged, honey. It's an intern in 2022 when she
• 1:09:50
  and Sharon Moore, then an offensive coordinator
• 1:09:53
  and a married father, started a consensual, intimate
• 1:09:56
  relationship. She was asked to be Moore's executive
• 1:09:58
  assistant when he was. Oh, yeah. To head coach
• 1:10:02
  in 2024. Did you feel pressured to have the relationship
• 1:10:06
  in order to have job security? Yes. OK, well,
• 1:10:11
  maybe don't work at that job then. Shut up. You
• 1:10:15
  loved all the perks. You loved being a snob,
• 1:10:18
  honey. Yes, I did. Shut up. I mean, he and other
• 1:10:24
  coaches had control over my career. Well, maybe
• 1:10:27
  you go work somewhere else where you don't have
• 1:10:29
  to, you know, bang around. Especially him. I
• 1:10:31
  mean, he could fire me in a second. Shiver. I
• 1:10:34
  would too. You seem annoying. Says her attempts
• 1:10:37
  to end the on -again, off -again relationship
• 1:10:39
  were often met with what she calls manipulation
• 1:10:41
  tactics. Well, yeah, go to HR then. Yeah, you're
• 1:10:45
  going to be in trouble. At least you get ahead
• 1:10:47
  of it. After giving head. You know what I mean?
• 1:10:51
  Including threats of self -harm. Every time I
• 1:10:54
  tried to pull away, he always had a story, always
• 1:10:58
  had a way to pull me in. So then you're just,
• 1:11:01
  you know, I'm not saying you're a dumb blonde.
• 1:11:04
  But you're not making blondes look good. And
• 1:11:06
  making me feel that I couldn't leave him because
• 1:11:11
  he was so miserable without me. He was miserable
• 1:11:15
  with you too, honey. During their years -long
• 1:11:18
  relationship, Shriver learned she was pregnant
• 1:11:20
  by Moore. Oh, yeah. Homey doesn't pull out. Pregnancy
• 1:11:27
  was complicated by pompa disease, a genetic disorder
• 1:11:30
  that... Can you imagine that, kid? You're born
• 1:11:31
  to a side chick and a stupid football coach.
• 1:11:34
  ...muscle strength. Her doctors delivered the
• 1:11:37
  heartbreaking news. You know, he was running
• 1:11:40
  down the street all happy. Well, doctors and
• 1:11:42
  experts told me that it wouldn't be right or
• 1:11:52
  healthy. For me to keep the baby. If you want
• 1:11:57
  to. That would have been a great relationship
• 1:12:03
  and family dynamic there. Are you now wearing
• 1:12:09
  a condom, having a vasectomy, or pulling out,
• 1:12:12
  bro? I'm not listening to any more of your tears.
• 1:12:16
  It's fake! Like it's real tears, but you take
• 1:12:19
  no accountability. Happy Hot Topic! Overnight,
• 1:12:25
  fierce twisters touching down. Over a dozen reported
• 1:12:28
  in multiple states, including here in Oklahoma.
• 1:12:31
  A tornado ripping through the town of Enid. Look
• 1:12:35
  at this. Look at this. Video showing the winds
• 1:12:38
  and an ominous cloud over the community, engulfing
• 1:12:42
  the sky. And dramatic scenes at Vance Air Force
• 1:12:45
  Base, where local officials say... Ah, so there's
• 1:12:47
  tornadoes. Here's Diana... Why do I keep wanting
• 1:12:51
  to say Taurasi? Famed a WNBA player. No, Diana
• 1:12:55
  Rossini talking about the Jimmy Garoppolo trade.
• 1:12:59
  And I know why Mike believes that this could
• 1:13:02
  be a safe insurance policy, but it's essentially
• 1:13:04
  like my husband having his new wife coming into
• 1:13:07
  our house right now, introducing him to my little
• 1:13:09
  Mikey. You got to see it. You got to look at
• 1:13:12
  this video. RG3's face is hilarious. The new
• 1:13:16
  mom. I leave and then he's like, oh, Di, come
• 1:13:19
  back. You're cooking so good. We actually want
• 1:13:21
  to keep you here. What a hag. You're so great
• 1:13:25
  at that whole thing. You know, you can't. I'd
• 1:13:27
  be like, no, it's over. Yeah, nine. Every single
• 1:13:34
  Kalen Clark game is going to be on TV. And Devin
• 1:13:39
  Booker ripped into the refs. So that's good.
• 1:13:44
  All right. What have we got here? Eight, five,
• 1:13:47
  six, 49, Hoppy. Before we get to radio news,
• 1:13:54
  I should probably play the radio news intro.

  Airin' out the closet, skeletons in pairs DJ

  schemin' in the back rooms Payola playlists rigged

• 1:14:47
  So I have known Christopher Frederick, a .k .a.
• 1:14:50
  formerly Brother Fred, Fred from The Fred Show
• 1:14:53

  From the guns of farms to your street. Ryan's

  got the news so sweet. Let's get into it right
• 1:19:51
  now. Whoa! Happy Hot Topic! Medical marijuana
• 1:19:57
  news. Mm -hmm. Right now. First up tonight, the
• 1:20:02
  Trump administration making a big change here.
• 1:20:04
  They're loosening up the restrictions over medical
• 1:20:07
  marijuana. It's a move to make it a Schedule
• 1:20:09
  3 drug as opposed to a Schedule 1 that won't
• 1:20:12
  affect criminal law, but, and here's the big
• 1:20:15
  but, it could potentially... Oh, yeah! ...research
• 1:20:18
  in hopes of finally getting some answers to some
• 1:20:19
  key questions. Water. There you go. We are...
• 1:20:22
  You got that? Then you got this. The Mayfields
• 1:20:26
  are now a family of four. Baker and his wife
• 1:20:28
  Emily and... I didn't know Baker had four kids.
• 1:20:30
  Man! He does not pull out. ...the birth of their
• 1:20:34
  son. With the foot. Maverick. So cute. There's
• 1:20:37
  a little baby Mav. On Wednesday, the baby was
• 1:20:39
  born. Wednesday morning, so... There you go.
• 1:20:42
  And oh yeah, here's a headline that the Tampa
• 1:20:45
  media will be mad I talked about. But like I've
• 1:20:50
  said, there was never a deal in Tampa. They were
• 1:20:53
  stranging out a line. That being the Tampa Bay
• 1:20:57
  Rays. And if you didn't believe me that there
• 1:21:01
  wasn't a deal in Tampa, well, this headline out
• 1:21:04
  here seems to prove it. Well, this morning, growing
• 1:21:12
  concern the Rays could look at other cities for
• 1:21:14
  the team to call. Yeah, I was talking to somebody
• 1:21:17
  in Chicago who knows somebody that works for
• 1:21:20
  the Rays. And this is all alleged. Remember that
• 1:21:22
  50 -50 Montreal thing? That was them, you know,
• 1:21:26
  doing this thing. Where they were just trying
• 1:21:30
  to go to, you know, Montreal. This comes as Hillsborough
• 1:21:35
  County leaders say they likely won't meet the
• 1:21:38
  June deadline for an agreement. I've lived in
• 1:21:40
  Tampa Bay 11 years and every year there's a new
• 1:21:43
  deadline. Deadline. Deadline. The Rays are very
• 1:21:46
  good at pushing things back. They're phony. On
• 1:21:50
  a new stadium. It undersides Beth Rousseau's
• 1:21:52
  life. I'm glad you're on my side, babe. With
• 1:21:54
  the continuing saga. What up, hottie? Good morning,
• 1:21:58
  Beth. Yeah, it just seems to go on and on and
• 1:22:02
  on. Hillsborough County Commissioners say at
• 1:22:04
  this point they have too many unanswered questions
• 1:22:06
  to reach an agreement by that June 1st deadline.
• 1:22:11
  Because they don't want to make the everyday
• 1:22:13
  average Joe and Jane pay for something that the
• 1:22:15
  race can afford. Meanwhile, the Rays say that
• 1:22:19
  they want to have a stadium here on Hillsborough
• 1:22:20
  College's Dale Mabry campus by April of 2029.
• 1:22:24
  Time's fine. Remember what 2026 seems so far
• 1:22:27
  away? So they need things to move forward in
• 1:22:30
  a timely manner. We talked to a development expert
• 1:22:32
  who says asking for any sort of delay when it
• 1:22:34
  comes to this deadline is a risky move. Extending.
• 1:22:38
  Because the Rays are just pushing it back. Because
• 1:22:41
  like I've heard, because they told me, literally
• 1:22:43
  they just want to pay for their kids' college
• 1:22:45
  funds and they want to pay for their houses.
• 1:22:47
  They don't care. This is another 60 to 90 days
• 1:22:50
  beyond June 1st. Invites other markets. And then
• 1:22:53
  they bring in Ken Batty and act like he's going
• 1:22:56
  to change something when he's just a nicer version
• 1:22:58
  of Sternberg. To really make a strong pitch to
• 1:23:03
  the Rays' ownership. So there are pages of questions
• 1:23:08
  that Hillsborough County commissioners have sent
• 1:23:10
  to the team that they need to answer everything.
• 1:23:13
  And the Rays aren't going to answer it. They're
• 1:23:15
  very good at changing the subject where you're
• 1:23:18
  confused what you're originally talking about.
• 1:23:20
  From how the budget for the stadium was developed
• 1:23:22
  to where the parking is going to go at this site.
• 1:23:25
  Yeah, you know, there's no room. They need to
• 1:23:29
  just hang on at the trap till the end of time
• 1:23:31
  or leave. They say after they have the answers
• 1:23:34
  to all those questions, commissioners need 60
• 1:23:36
  to 90 days to move forward with these. See, this
• 1:23:39
  is what I'm talking about. It's so aggravating.
• 1:23:42
  They're just, they're gaslighting you. Negotiations.
• 1:23:45
  In a statement, the race have said that they're
• 1:23:47
  working diligently to get. No, you're not. You're
• 1:23:49
  pushing it back like scumbags. All of those questions
• 1:23:53
  answered and that they hope to have a response
• 1:23:55
  to commissioners soon. Ah, that soon. You've
• 1:23:59
  been saying that since 2016. Shut up! Yeah. All
• 1:24:27
  in ten heights, now the cynic get tight From
• 1:24:29
  the berms to the block, that's a hell of a hike
• 1:24:31
  Turn the dial, see his name on the lights He
• 1:24:34
  got callers on the line, tryna break they news
• 1:24:37
  From the side to the sticks, they relate to the
• 1:24:40
  views Every segment like a story from the avenue
• 1:24:42
  Tell a slick, then he fact check the attitude

  This that Chicago news Hop it out and let em
• 1:24:50
  choose From the heights to the loop, what it
• 1:24:53
  do? All right. We are one step closer to the
• 1:25:19
  Bears staying in Illinois after the state house
• 1:25:21
  passed a mega project spill. Still, the Bears
• 1:25:25
  are not putting all their eggs in one basket.
• 1:25:27
  You can't. Illinois, suck her up. More needs
• 1:25:30
  to be done. Aracel Rezai is at Soldier Field
• 1:25:33
  with more. Major focus is to still build a new
• 1:25:36
  stadium, moving the Bears from downtown here
• 1:25:39
  to Arlington Heights. It also locks in the property
• 1:25:45
  tax. Whatever. It will be the first anniversary
• 1:25:48
  of the day that Chicago's Pope Leo was chosen
• 1:25:52
  to lead the world's Catholics. And tonight in
• 1:25:56
  an exclusive interview, his brother, John Prevost,
• 1:25:59
  speaks to Marianne. All right. I'm sorry. I know
• 1:26:02
  people probably want to hear it, but I don't
• 1:26:03
  give a crap. Outro Music Hot holes where dreams
• 1:26:27
  collapse. Downtown echoes the cabs and faded
• 1:26:30
  cabs past the preaching hustle. Corner kids trading
• 1:26:33
  maps where the vibe's Midwest, but the struggle
• 1:26:35
  overlaps. Cleveland news, where the truth gets
• 1:26:38
  raw. Rust belt blues, every crack, every flaw.
• 1:26:42
  Unfilled it takes, no sugar, no draw. Hoppy on
• 1:26:45
  the mic, spitting facts, no law. Back alleys
• 1:26:48
  whisper, still grit in the air. Hoppy pulling
• 1:26:50
  cards, city troops lay bare, bars sharper than
• 1:26:53
  the skyline. No time to spare, opinions heavy
• 1:26:55
  as the lake, but he don't care. Radio day, static
• 1:26:59
  hum in the booth, voice booming through the speakers,
• 1:27:02
  hitting with the truth. Tower city shadows, echoing
• 1:27:05
  the youth, uncut, unpolished, Cleveland's the
• 1:27:08
  proof. Hoppy's lens, no rose tint, just grind
• 1:27:11
  every segment, a slice of Cleveland's mind. From
• 1:27:14
  the flats to the heights, stories combined, unfiltered,
• 1:27:17
  unbothered, unrefined. All right. What's going
• 1:27:36
  on right here? With this scumbag. So this is
• 1:27:51
  a Cleveland cop arraigned after violating sex
• 1:27:54
  offender registration. Former cop. All right,
• 1:28:09
  there's this. Sounds like things are going well
• 1:28:18
  in Cleveland. Well, students at Parma's Valley
• 1:28:21
  Forge and Normandy High Schools... Get up, Parma!
• 1:28:25
  Come to the classroom today. Comes after a heated
• 1:28:27
  school board meeting in Parma last night. We
• 1:28:29
  heard a little bit of it right there. Earlier
• 1:28:31
  this week, a student died by suicide inside the
• 1:28:34
  cafeteria at Valley Forge. Rest in peace, bud.
• 1:28:37
  Cuyahoga County reporter Mike Holden joins us
• 1:28:39
  live from Valley Forge High School this morning.
• 1:28:42
  And Mike, students and parents, they want change.
• 1:28:46
  Oh yeah, they want change, answers, additional
• 1:28:49
  safety and security upgrades, including metal
• 1:28:51
  detectors. For safety, you should probably just,
• 1:28:55
  you know, move out of Cleveland. And that is
• 1:28:59
  that. Okay, on a serious note, my friend Pete
• 1:29:03
  Kostanis from vanished Chicagoland. He's got
• 1:29:07
  millions of fans in Chicago. He is facing cancer,
• 1:29:11
  and he's been fighting it for seven years, and
• 1:29:15
  it's taken a turn for the worst. And he's going
• 1:29:19
  to hospice, but I still believe that he will
• 1:29:21
  beat it because he's a badass. even though with
• 1:29:23
  cancer it has spread. So I'll post it as an individual
• 1:29:28
  episode, but since you've been listening this
• 1:29:29
  long, I wanted to play my interview with Pete
• 1:29:31
  from Vanished Chicagoland. So here you go. Love
• 1:29:35
  you, Pete. This is Pete Kostanis. What's up?
• 1:30:05
  This is Hoppy Hour. I am your host, Ryan Hoppy.
• 1:30:07
  And from the Vanished Chicagoland online brand
• 1:30:10
  and the Vanished Chicago Stories, the podcast,
• 1:30:14
  the one and only Pete Kostanis is on Hoppy Hour.
• 1:30:18
  What's up, my man? I'm doing great. How about
• 1:30:21
  you? I'm doing great, man. I find you absolutely
• 1:30:25
  fascinating, Pete. I grew up in Chicago from
• 1:30:28
  1993 to 2014. Then I moved to Cleveland briefly,
• 1:30:32
  and then I moved to Tampa, and I've been here
• 1:30:34
  10 years. And I miss the city, but I don't. But
• 1:30:37
  I always love following Chicago pages that kind
• 1:30:40
  of remind me why I got into radio and podcasting.
• 1:30:44
  And I looked something up about 97 .9 The Loop,
• 1:30:47
  and you shared some post about two, three years
• 1:30:49
  ago, and I followed your page. And I absolutely
• 1:30:52
  love, Pete, how you're keeping the vanished Chicago
• 1:30:56
  memories that we have, the vanished Chicagoland
• 1:30:58
  memories, you are keeping them alive. Oh, yes.
• 1:31:02
  I'm still doing this every day. People love it.
• 1:31:06
  I'm getting a lot of praise and getting a lot
• 1:31:09
  of followers, of course. It's just, it's my passion.
• 1:31:12
  I love doing it every day. So what was the process?
• 1:31:16
  Obviously, you can go to pages on Facebook and
• 1:31:18
  just create a Facebook page, but what was the
• 1:31:21
  process of just how did this brand explode so
• 1:31:24
  fast, or did it take time, or what was the whole
• 1:31:28
  process? Okay, well, I'll start at the beginning.
• 1:31:31
  One day I was searching through Facebook, and
• 1:31:34
  I noticed there was a business page, and it was
• 1:31:37
  called Dispensers Castle of Toys. I don't know
• 1:31:39
  if you remember that. It was a big toy store
• 1:31:41
  out in, Oprah Harris. And I look at it and I
• 1:31:46
  said, well, why is there a business page when
• 1:31:49
  it's out of business? You know, I think it was
• 1:31:52
  a tribute page. So I thought to myself, why don't
• 1:31:55
  I do something like that and celebrate all businesses
• 1:31:59
  that are gone? So I started, it was first called
• 1:32:03
  Chicago Extreme Businesses. So I started slowly
• 1:32:05
  and surely for a couple of years. And then someone
• 1:32:09
  reached out to me. It was from a local newspaper.
• 1:32:12
  And actually, I'd like to do an interview with
• 1:32:15
  you. And I said, okay. And then so he interviewed
• 1:32:18
  me. And then he published the interview online.
• 1:32:21
  And then that's when it took off. And I had like
• 1:32:24
  about 32 ,000 likes in one day. Damn. Yeah, I
• 1:32:29
  know. I was like, wait a minute. Wow. And then
• 1:32:33
  that was my moment of being famous for that.
• 1:32:38
  And then I've been interviewed on radio, interviewed
• 1:32:41
  on newspapers. I haven't been on TV yet. Not
• 1:32:43
  so far. Not yet. So now people associate with
• 1:32:48
  me with that. And it's been like that ever since.
• 1:32:50
  And it gets popular and popular and popular.
• 1:32:53
  And I still receive texts and emails from people.
• 1:32:57
  Can you please find me this? Can you post this
• 1:33:00
  for me? I get a lot of requests every day. That's
• 1:33:03
  the majority of my day of answering that. And
• 1:33:06
  then the media took notice, and they love it,
• 1:33:10
  and it's wonderful. And let's see, what else?
• 1:33:15
  So I created a group, too. So right now I have
• 1:33:21
  about almost 240 ,000 members. And it's still
• 1:33:26
  growing. So what are some of the radio shows
• 1:33:30
  you've been on? I've been on WGN Radio, WBZ,
• 1:33:35
  WBBM. Yeah, I've been to three of those. I'm
• 1:33:39
  trying to think. There must be one more. Oh,
• 1:33:41
  I was on The Loop. Oh. With Mancow. How was that?
• 1:33:45
  I grew up loving that guy, and I've DM'd him,
• 1:33:48
  and he's a fascinating cat. Not everybody likes
• 1:33:51
  him, but what was your experience with him? Oh,
• 1:33:54
  he was very quiet, and he liked me. I didn't
• 1:33:57
  talk to him much, but... But he was very interested,
• 1:34:03
  so that was good. As long as I was on the show
• 1:34:04
  with him, that was great. That was a very interesting
• 1:34:07
  experience for me. What did he have? Did he have
• 1:34:10
  women there? Because he's always got seven guests
• 1:34:13
  on. He had a few men. There was one girl there.
• 1:34:20
  Her name was Kathy. Oh, Kathy's awesome. Yeah,
• 1:34:22
  Kathy the Greek. Yeah, she's the one who contacted
• 1:34:27
  me and asked me to appear. Yeah, she's very sweet.
• 1:34:31
  Very sweet person. And so, yeah, so that was
• 1:34:34
  my experience for Mancow. And I've done an interview
• 1:34:39
  on the radio throughout the years, maybe once
• 1:34:41
  a year, maybe once or twice a year. And I had
• 1:34:45
  newspaper articles. I had one from the Sun -Times
• 1:34:49
  about a couple of years ago. And magazines. Yeah,
• 1:34:54
  I was interviewed by Chicago Magazine. Nice.
• 1:34:57
  Very nice. Yeah, it was very good. And it's amazing,
• 1:35:02
  you know, because a lot of people, you know,
• 1:35:05
  they love the page. They love that. And also,
• 1:35:08
  you know, they're also concerned about my health
• 1:35:10
  and what's going on. So that's, I get a lot of
• 1:35:15
  support. That's going to be awesome because I
• 1:35:18
  always feel like when you're facing cancer, why
• 1:35:21
  not be positive? You know what I mean? Yes, because
• 1:35:25
  I caught it early. And I always tell people,
• 1:35:30
  mostly men, because it's prostate cancer, please
• 1:35:33
  go see, if there's something wrong with you,
• 1:35:36
  if there's nothing right, please go see a doctor.
• 1:35:38
  It'll save your life. And some men are stubborn,
• 1:35:42
  but some do. And they thank me for that. It's
• 1:35:48
  very touching. It's almost a tear. They tell
• 1:35:51
  me that, yeah, you... Well, what you said, you
• 1:35:54
  know, that you're very inspiring to do that.
• 1:35:58
  Now, growing up, well, for example, I interviewed
• 1:36:01
  Mark Giancarlo last year, and he said that Chicago
• 1:36:05
  radio and TV was like the Hollywood of Los Angeles.
• 1:36:09
  So everybody knew all the anchors. Everybody
• 1:36:12
  knew all the radio hosts. And I feel like it's
• 1:36:14
  not the same as it was back in the day. Who were
• 1:36:17
  some of your favorite TV and radio people from
• 1:36:20
  Chicago? Um, when I was growing up, I liked,
• 1:36:23
  uh, Bob Surratt and John Landecker. Um, and people
• 1:36:29
  else. Uh, you know, there's so many, you know,
• 1:36:32
  as a matter of fact, Bob Surratt knows what I'm
• 1:36:35
  doing. That's, that's, that's, that's kind of
• 1:36:38
  cool. Yeah, it is. Um, but yeah, but right now,
• 1:36:41
  um, the people that like me much is the people
• 1:36:44
  from WGN TV. Yeah. Yeah. They, they like, they
• 1:36:48
  like what I do. And I do talk to them. from time
• 1:36:52
  to time, you know, then, uh, and let's see who
• 1:36:56
  else, but, uh, mostly some from WLS, you know,
• 1:36:59
  Chicago, you know, television. Yeah. I talked
• 1:37:01
  to a few people like that. Uh, channel two, channel
• 1:37:04
  five, not much, not really. Uh, but whenever
• 1:37:08
  I post something on X or Facebook, they do see
• 1:37:11
  that and they reply or they like it. So yeah,
• 1:37:14
  so all of them know who I am, what I do. And
• 1:37:20
  it's wonderful. I feel like I'm in this group
• 1:37:23
  of them. Do you understand? Oh no, I get it.
• 1:37:27
  There is the saying you don't want to meet your
• 1:37:28
  heroes but the one exception for me is Eddie
• 1:37:32
  Volkman from the Eddie and Jobo show. I grew
• 1:37:33
  up listening to Eddie and Jobo. I can't specify
• 1:37:36
  enough how much I love the Eddie and Jobo show.
• 1:37:39
  And I sat in on Eddie Volkman's show at Star
• 1:37:42
  96 .7 back in like August and he's done some
• 1:37:46
  liners for me and it's so cool. I bet you have
• 1:37:49
  The same feeling about Bob Surratt. It's so cool
• 1:37:51
  when you actually meet a hero that's like a big
• 1:37:55
  supporter and fan, you know? Oh yeah, it's great.
• 1:37:58
  And I do talk to Eddie on Facebook. He's great.
• 1:38:02
  I love Eddie. He is a wonderful man. Wonderful
• 1:38:05
  man indeed. Because I talk about his dad, you
• 1:38:07
  know, Harry Volkman. He did the weather. So Eddie,
• 1:38:11
  you know, sometimes he posts something and I
• 1:38:13
  say something funny. Yeah. And he starts laughing
• 1:38:16
  at me. Yeah, we communicate. He's a wonderful
• 1:38:21
  man. He really is. He's a good guy. Where did
• 1:38:24
  you grow up in Chicago? Actually, I grew up in
• 1:38:28
  three neighborhoods in Chicago on the south side.
• 1:38:30
  One was South Shore. I lived there when I was
• 1:38:35
  six. Then I moved to Roseland for five years
• 1:38:38
  because my dad owned a property there. We lived
• 1:38:42
  in an apartment building above a shoe store.
• 1:38:45
  And then in 1974, I moved to Ashburn, that's
• 1:38:48
  on the south side, and lived there for about
• 1:38:51
  25 years. And because I went to Bogan High School,
• 1:38:57
  you know, I went there. And then in 1995, I moved.
• 1:39:01
  And then I moved to Antoine. So I'm a suburbanite.
• 1:39:04
  I've been a suburbanite for, but most of my life
• 1:39:06
  I've been a Chicagoan. To Chicago. Now, I'm from
• 1:39:11
  Arlington Heights. I went to Hersey High School,
• 1:39:13
  Thomas Middle School, Patton, and did you ever
• 1:39:17
  have any experience in the Heights? In Arlington
• 1:39:21
  Heights? Not really, but I used to work in Rolling
• 1:39:23
  Meadows. Oh, nice. Yeah, American Express Travel.
• 1:39:28
  I worked there for about 12 years. And I did,
• 1:39:32
  you know, Arlington Heights is nearby, you know.
• 1:39:34
  And so, yeah, I'm very familiar with the area.
• 1:39:38
  So that was the best job I ever had. And I worked
• 1:39:41
  as a ticketer. I issued tickets. And I still
• 1:39:45
  miss the job to this day. I really miss it. Yeah.
• 1:39:50
  You know what's one thing that is the biggest
• 1:39:52
  difference about Florida and Illinois? Like let's
• 1:39:56
  say when Dominic's went out of business in 2013
• 1:39:58
  and they closed a lot of the stores in 04, the
• 1:40:01
  lot will remain empty for 20 years. In Florida,
• 1:40:05
  something gets picked up six months later. And
• 1:40:08
  that was the biggest thing I've noticed about
• 1:40:09
  the difference. I was always fascinated by dead
• 1:40:13
  malls. I loved Randhurst Mall. And I always loved
• 1:40:16
  like me and my friends, maybe we were Broken
• 1:40:18
  Weed, but we would be hanging out in front of
• 1:40:20
  the empty Dominick's in Prospect Heights. It's
• 1:40:24
  something you don't think about until you move,
• 1:40:26
  Pete, is there's a lot of empty lots in Illinois.
• 1:40:29
  It's just fascinating. Yeah, there is. Most of
• 1:40:33
  Dominick's have been replaced. I know a couple
• 1:40:36
  on the south side that haven't, so I don't know
• 1:40:39
  what's going on, but I miss the store. I really
• 1:40:43
  do. It is a great store. Dominick's Pizza was
• 1:40:46
  the absolute best. Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't think
• 1:40:52
  I ever had their pizza. I had Jewel's. It was
• 1:40:55
  $5. My mom couldn't afford Domino's and that,
• 1:40:59
  so we would go there and I would get a fruit
• 1:41:00
  punch soda. It was the best. Oh, that's great.
• 1:41:05
  Yeah, that sounds good. That's a great memory.
• 1:41:07
  Oh, dude, phenomenal. The one thing I want to
• 1:41:10
  ask you, what's been the... biggest difference
• 1:41:14
  in Chicago from when you were growing up to now,
• 1:41:16
  obviously I think the crime has gotten worse,
• 1:41:19
  but like, what's the big difference you noticed
• 1:41:22
  in the city? Uh, it's changing. Uh, you know,
• 1:41:29
  businesses come and go. They really do. Uh, you
• 1:41:33
  know, and, um, you know, uh, department stores
• 1:41:37
  are gone mostly, you know, downtown, which is
• 1:41:40
  a shame, you know, like Marshall fields and,
• 1:41:42
  uh, Carson's. What's the other one? Top of my
• 1:41:47
  head. Sears. Yes, of course. There was Sears.
• 1:41:54
  Then we had the other stores, like the discount
• 1:41:57
  stores, like Zare, Venture. Now we have Target
• 1:42:01
  and Walmart. We had those when I was a kid. They
• 1:42:06
  were great stores. It evolves. Everything evolves
• 1:42:11
  like that. But most people want some of the stories
• 1:42:18
  back, especially Marshall Fields. They want it
• 1:42:20
  back. They want it back so badly. I do too. But
• 1:42:25
  we don't know if it is going to come back because
• 1:42:27
  whoever runs the story is stubborn. But I have
• 1:42:34
  a feeling once we bring back the name, It'll
• 1:42:37
  be wonderful. It'll be awesome. People will come
• 1:42:40
  back because they miss it. And I miss it too.
• 1:42:43
  So we'll see. What did you think of Sears? I'm
• 1:42:48
  not going to say which family member because
• 1:42:49
  it's easy to find online. But I have a family
• 1:42:51
  member that was the head executive for like the
• 1:42:53
  Midwest branch of Sears. And I remember around
• 1:42:56
  05, 06 when I was really beginning to pick up
• 1:42:58
  memories. She was always concerned because Amazon
• 1:43:01
  was coming around and just kind of doing its
• 1:43:04
  thing. What did you think of Sears in its prime,
• 1:43:07
  and what happened to it? Let's see what happened.
• 1:43:11
  You know, back in the old days, like the 50s
• 1:43:13
  and the 60s, and maybe early 70s, it was a wonderful
• 1:43:16
  store. Their management was great. Customer service
• 1:43:22
  was so top -notch. Then it just, all of a sudden,
• 1:43:28
  it just declined. And then when you go to Sears
• 1:43:33
  before it closed, You couldn't find a salesperson,
• 1:43:35
  you know. And it was like, what the heck? And
• 1:43:40
  then, you know, but it's so nostalgic. You know,
• 1:43:43
  people miss the store very much because whenever
• 1:43:46
  you need something, you go there. If you want
• 1:43:49
  a washing machine or you want to buy a Kenmore
• 1:43:52
  or a stove or a refrigerator, boom, there it
• 1:43:55
  is. You go and buy it and pick it up, you know.
• 1:43:59
  And it was always available. It was right there.
• 1:44:02
  It was accessible like that. And, uh, but now
• 1:44:06
  it's gone. Um, which is a shame is because, um,
• 1:44:12
  they had their, um, they had the Tuscan jeans.
• 1:44:15
  They had, uh, the diehard batteries, you know,
• 1:44:19
  and, uh, the, of course those Sears wishbook,
• 1:44:22
  they come out every year for Christmas. Oh, that
• 1:44:25
  was awesome. You know, but, uh, I do post now
• 1:44:28
  and then, you know, about Sears stuff. because
• 1:44:32
  the last one closed in Woodfield, in Schaumburg.
• 1:44:36
  That was the way I got into Woodfield, was either
• 1:44:39
  that or Carson's. Yes. Carson's was a great store.
• 1:44:44
  Very good store. It was a little less expensive
• 1:44:48
  than Marshall Fields, but their quality was wonderful.
• 1:44:53
  It was top -notch. It was great. And like I said,
• 1:44:57
  if you need something at Carson's, you go right
• 1:44:59
  there. Pick it up, buy it, take it home. That's
• 1:45:04
  how it was. I love deep dish pizza, but I'm more
• 1:45:08
  of a thin crust fan. What is your take on Chicago
• 1:45:11
  pizza? Oh, I like all pizza. Deep dish is fine.
• 1:45:17
  Thin crust is fine. As a matter of fact, one
• 1:45:18
  of my favorites is Dito and Nick's. That's on
• 1:45:21
  85th and Pulaski in Chicago because I used to
• 1:45:24
  live in that old neighborhood. I went there maybe
• 1:45:26
  a couple of years ago. People flock there all
• 1:45:29
  the time because it's very unique. They don't
• 1:45:32
  accept cash. And it's something different. It's
• 1:45:37
  very good. But pizza, I love. It's thin crust,
• 1:45:43
  thick crust, deep dish, stuffed. I'm all for
• 1:45:47
  it. My favorite toppings is just sausage and
• 1:45:51
  pepperoni. You don't like fruit? No fruit? Fruit?
• 1:45:58
  Oh, on the pizza? You mean like pineapple? Yeah,
• 1:46:00
  yeah. I tried it once, but you know, it tastes
• 1:46:04
  strange, but you know, I have an open mind. I'd
• 1:46:08
  like to try it again. It's not bad, but I'm not
• 1:46:11
  going, like I've had pineapple pizza be dropped
• 1:46:14
  off in my radio jobs over the years and it's
• 1:46:16
  like edible, but I would never order it. You
• 1:46:18
  know what I mean? I think so. No, you know, but
• 1:46:23
  I'll try it someday, you know, but. We have some
• 1:46:27
  good pizza places, especially near my house.
• 1:46:30
  So you can't find it anywhere else. Yeah. What
• 1:46:34
  are your favorite memories of like Chicago sports
• 1:46:36
  over the years? Well, sports, I'm not much of
• 1:46:40
  a sports fan. Oh, really? Not really. But when
• 1:46:44
  I go to a game, like for example, I've been to
• 1:46:47
  a Hawks game and I've been to the Cubs. And if
• 1:46:51
  you're there, the experience of watching the
• 1:46:54
  game, is great. I love that. On TV, it's kind
• 1:46:59
  of dull, but when you're at the game with the
• 1:47:03
  crowds and you see the players, that's kind of
• 1:47:07
  exciting. That's very exciting. I had a good
• 1:47:10
  time there. I really did. It's not the same on
• 1:47:13
  TV because you have the announcers, they're talking,
• 1:47:15
  and they have the commercials and all that. But
• 1:47:18
  when you're at an actual game, it doesn't matter
• 1:47:22
  what sport, the Bulls, the Hawks, the Bears,
• 1:47:25
  There's nothing like it. There's nothing like
• 1:47:28
  it. I cannot ask a person who's from Chicago
• 1:47:32
  that grew up in the 70s, I cannot ask them and
• 1:47:35
  I cannot interview them without asking this.
• 1:47:37
  What was your experience with disco demolition?
• 1:47:40
  Were you at it? What's your experience with it?
• 1:47:44
  Well, here's the story. It happened in July 1979.
• 1:47:50
  The thing is, me and my family, we were in Greece.
• 1:47:54
  Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah, we were in Greece, and I
• 1:47:57
  had no idea what was going on. But my brother
• 1:48:00
  received a letter from his friend in Greece and
• 1:48:04
  told him about it. And we had no idea. But when
• 1:48:08
  we came back, like, late August, my whole neighborhood,
• 1:48:13
  everyone was talking about it, the kids in high
• 1:48:15
  school that I went. you know bogan they went
• 1:48:19
  to that and it's like they said you missed the
• 1:48:21
  biggest thing you were well how was i supposed
• 1:48:24
  to know my parent my mom wanted to go to greece
• 1:48:26
  and that's and i didn't want to go anyway but
• 1:48:29
  uh we did and we stayed for two months and so
• 1:48:32
  i missed the entire disco demolition and i talked
• 1:48:34
  about it on my podcast and i do post pictures
• 1:48:37
  of that yeah on the podcast i explained my experience
• 1:48:41
  of that i'm not knowing about it. And that was
• 1:48:45
  fascinating. So it's a shame I missed it. Now,
• 1:48:49
  I was born in 93, so I didn't get to hear the
• 1:48:52
  loop and it's hate day, but I've heard a lot
• 1:48:54
  of it online. But Jonathan Brand, Johnny B's
• 1:48:58
  second run on 97 .9 The Loop in 05 and when Dahl
• 1:49:02
  was on Jack FM and WCKG, both of those guys,
• 1:49:06
  dude, define radio for sure. Oh, that was great
• 1:49:10
  times. I listened to WCKG all the time. I listen
• 1:49:15
  to all radio stations, you know, when there's
• 1:49:17
  rock music. That's my favorite type of music.
• 1:49:20
  So when I was growing up, when I was in high
• 1:49:23
  school, we had The Loop, and we also had WMET.
• 1:49:27
  That was 95 1⁄2 FM. And also WLSFM. E96, right?
• 1:49:35
  Yeah, I did listen to B96 in the early 80s. And
• 1:49:40
  that was a fun time. That was a fun time. I loved
• 1:49:43
  that era. I used to listen to it all the time.
• 1:49:46
  Because music was changing. And I was there when
• 1:49:51
  WLSFM turned into WDAI and it turned into the
• 1:49:55
  disco station. Yeah. And then it went back to
• 1:49:59
  rock about a couple years later. So I was there
• 1:50:02
  when I listened to all of that. You know what
• 1:50:05
  I've heard about? Z -95 is what I've heard about
• 1:50:08
  too. Yes. I did listen to that. I really did.
• 1:50:13
  It wasn't very long, but yeah. I remember that
• 1:50:17
  very well well from what I've read because I'm
• 1:50:20
  a huge like how you love the past about Chicago
• 1:50:23
  I love radio and Chicago radio so I've listened
• 1:50:26
  to a lot of stuff online and I believe it was
• 1:50:28
  his name was Jason Barsky came to Chicago and
• 1:50:31
  tried to take out Eddie and Jobo but that was
• 1:50:33
  kind of when Eddie and Jobo were first beginning
• 1:50:36
  because Eddie was doing mornings by himself for
• 1:50:39
  a few years and he told me and he said it on
• 1:50:41
  my show and he told me in person that having
• 1:50:43
  Jobo was the perfect kind of like, almost like
• 1:50:46
  devil to angel on your shoulder because Eddie's
• 1:50:50
  a very clean cut, classy guy and Jobo's a little
• 1:50:53
  more unpredictable, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I did
• 1:50:57
  listen to those guys. Actually, I'm friends with
• 1:50:59
  them. I'm friends with Jobo on Facebook. Jobo's
• 1:51:03
  hilarious. Amazon package of the day. I love
• 1:51:08
  it. Every day you get to see what Jobo bought
• 1:51:11
  on Amazon. And I love the comments. He never
• 1:51:14
  responds, but he'll post something to like troll
• 1:51:17
  people. And then like 70 Karens will be like
• 1:51:20
  Jobo. It's amazing. Oh, that is beautiful. Absolutely
• 1:51:25
  beautiful. Now in your whole lifetime, before
• 1:51:29
  I let you go, what is your absolute favorite
• 1:51:31
  thing about Chicago? My favorite absolutely thing,
• 1:51:36
  you know, this is kind of strange because, you
• 1:51:43
  know, I have the page. I love doing that. That's
• 1:51:45
  my passion. But, you know, every year, you see,
• 1:51:49
  I'm a comic book fan. Yeah. I'm a huge comic
• 1:51:51
  book fan. And I go to, what's it called, Fan
• 1:51:54
  Expo in Rosemont every August. Oh, nice. Yeah.
• 1:51:58
  I go every year. I've been doing that for almost
• 1:52:01
  30 years. I'm going there. I just love it because
• 1:52:04
  it's a great place to escape, you know, look
• 1:52:08
  at comics. They have celebrities there. It's
• 1:52:10
  like my Disneyland there. That's what it is.
• 1:52:14
  And, you know, I'm 61 years old. I'm still doing
• 1:52:16
  this stuff, you know, but I enjoy it. I really
• 1:52:19
  do because I'm a huge fan of that. And, you know,
• 1:52:23
  other things I like in Chicago, you know, we
• 1:52:25
  have so much culture. There's so many beautiful
• 1:52:28
  things to see, so many things to learn. That's
• 1:52:31
  what's great about that. And you meet the people.
• 1:52:35
  The people are wonderful. They really are. Before
• 1:52:38
  I let you go, do a quick plug. Tell everybody
• 1:52:41
  about everything you're up to. Okay. I run the
• 1:52:46
  page. It's called Van Chicago Land. I also have
• 1:52:49
  a group, the same name. I also have a podcast.
• 1:52:53
  It's called Van Chicago Land Stories, the podcast.
• 1:52:56
  You can find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon
• 1:53:01
  Music, any app that has podcasts. I also have
• 1:53:05
  a YouTube channel. You can find a podcast as
• 1:53:09
  well. You can do a search engine. I say this
• 1:53:12
  every time I do a podcast. I tell them where
• 1:53:14
  you can find them, where you can find the podcast.
• 1:53:17
  You can listen anywhere, on your phone, your
• 1:53:19
  desktop, your car, any place. So that's what
• 1:53:24
  I do. Well, Pete, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt
• 1:53:28
  you, but it's been a lot of fun having you on
• 1:53:30
  the show. I'm coming to Chicago in May for my,
• 1:53:35
  I can't believe it, my 2007 born cousin is graduating
• 1:53:38
  high school. So I decided I had like a free plane
• 1:53:41
  ticket kind of deal to like fly out. And I was
• 1:53:44
  like, why not fly out for that? So I'm going
• 1:53:46
  to be in Chicago for my cousin's high school
• 1:53:49
  graduation. So if you're free, I would love to
• 1:53:51
  get coffee and meet you. Oh, that'd be wonderful.
• 1:53:54
  Yeah, that'd be great. We can get together. We
• 1:53:56
  could talk. You know, that'd be awesome. I will
• 1:53:59
  definitely hit you up. Pete, it's been a lot
• 1:54:01
  of fun having you on the show and thank you for
• 1:54:03
  everything you've done for the city of Chicago
• 1:54:05
  because it's very hard. It's called Vanished
• 1:54:08
  Chicagoland for the right reason. It's sometimes
• 1:54:10
  hard to find the memories, but when you see it
• 1:54:12
  on Facebook, you're like, you kind of get that
• 1:54:14
  like dopamine hit. Oh, I've never heard it that
• 1:54:19
  way before, but thank you. I appreciate that.
• 1:54:24
  I really do. It's a wonderful thing. I just love
• 1:54:28
  doing it. Pete, keep up the good work. Thank
• 1:54:31
  you for calling into Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy.
• 1:54:34
  Oh, well, thank you, Ryan. I enjoyed talking
• 1:54:36
  to you. All right. Have a great day, and I will
• 1:54:38
  see you in May. Okay. That's a date. All right.
• 1:54:42
  Sounds good. All right. See you, bro. Okay, Brian.
• 1:54:45
  Bye. And that was Pete Kostanis of the Vanished
• 1:54:49
  Chicagoland brand and Vanished Chicagoland Stories,
• 1:54:53
  the podcast, as he called it in the Hoppy Hour.
• 1:54:55
  Now, I grew up in Chicago from 1993 to 2014.
• 1:54:58
  I listened to, I was huge in the radio. I listened
• 1:55:01
  to Eddie and Joe, Jonathan Brandmeier, Drex,
• 1:55:04
  Steve Dahl. Rover, Opie and Anthony, Roe and
• 1:55:09
  Gary. Can you tell I liked radio? So I interned
• 1:55:12
  at Dance Factory Radio and was on air with Lewis
• 1:55:15
  2 Live. Then I was on WNUR 89 .3 FM. I snuck
• 1:55:19
  into Northwestern University while going to the
• 1:55:22
  Illinois Media School, which is great. Then I
• 1:55:24
  was on WHCM 88 .3 Harper College Radio. And I
• 1:55:29
  also interned with Steve Dahl, who is the GOAT.
• 1:55:31
  So here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen, boys
• 1:55:33
  and girls, is my show is billed for you, Chicago.
• 1:55:36
  I have two versions. One where I do radio interviews
• 1:55:39
  and talk to people like Pete and I've interviewed
• 1:55:42
  Mark Giniograko. I have a whole archive of it.
• 1:55:46
  So here's the deal. Go to every single major
• 1:55:48
  platform that has a podcast and search up Hoppy
• 1:55:51
  Radio. H -O -P -P -E Radio. And I'm on all social
• 1:55:55
  media at Ryan Hoppy Radio. This has been Hoppy
• 1:55:58
  Hour. I am your host, Ryan Hoppy. And I expect
• 1:56:01
  you to tune in, Chicago. See our river that catches
• 1:56:15
  on fire. It's so polluted that all our fish have
• 1:56:18
  AIDS. See the sun almost three times a year.
• 1:56:22
  This guy has at least two DUIs. Let's look like
• 1:56:26
  a Scooby -Doo ghost town. Don't slow down in
• 1:56:28
  East Cleveland or you'll die. Our economy's based
• 1:56:32
  on LeBron James. Buy a house for the price of
• 1:56:35
  a PCR. Our main export is crippling depression.
• 1:56:39
  They used the R word here. We think this is our...
• 1:56:50
  people from looking at their own lives and realizing
• 1:56:51
  how bad they've actually gotten, you know? I
• 1:56:54
  mean, if you couldn't get drunk and paint yourself
• 1:56:59
  orange and brown every Sunday, you might realize,
• 1:57:02
  I live in Cleveland. How the hell did this happen?
• 1:57:10
  Did I used to eat babies up? And then he's looking
• 1:57:15
  around at your tiny little house that you can't
• 1:57:16
  afford because of the mortgage crisis and your
• 1:57:18
  horrible little sloppy kids who will have diabetes
• 1:57:20
  by the time they're eight because they live on
• 1:57:22
  corn syrup and lye. And then you look at your
• 1:57:26
  big bloated mess of a wife and she waddles towards
• 1:57:28
  you with her front butt spilling out over the
• 1:57:30
  top of her ass and long jeans. And he's like,
• 1:57:33
  I'm going to go shoot myself and my pregnant
• 1:57:34
  12 -year -old daughter, right? Do you regret
• 1:57:41
  anything that you said about Cleveland? I just
• 1:57:43
  don't know. You like it? You think Cleveland's
• 1:57:49
  cool? I mean, I never heard anybody say, I'm
• 1:57:51
  going to Cleveland on vacation. I just don't
• 1:57:53
  know. What's so great about Cleveland? I just
• 1:57:58
  don't know. Cleveland sucks. Cleveland sucks.
• 1:58:02
  Cleveland sucks. Cleveland sucks. Whether you're
• 1:58:26
  white, or black, or Sasquatch even. As long as
• 1:58:31
  you follow your dreams, no matter how crazy or
• 1:58:34
  against the law it is. Except for Sasquatch.
• 1:58:37
  If your Sasquatch rules are different. Forget
• 1:58:40
  it, Meatwad. I'm a circus freak. That's all I'll
• 1:58:44
  ever be. Whatever. Finally, I'm one of those
• 1:58:48
  guys who can't wait to get to work in the morning.
• 1:58:49
  Like a dairy cow. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, yes! Yes! Oh!
• 1:59:04
  Strike the climate. Strike the climate. And he
• 1:59:08
  got it! Yes, yes, yes, yes! That is what I said!
• 1:59:13
  That's number five! Are you kidding me? That's
• 1:59:16
  right! Who do you think you are? I am! So if
• 1:59:20
  there's a few bucks left over, you know, go get
• 1:59:22
  something nice. two, please. Oh, do you have
• 1:59:29
  nine $1 ,000 ones? Yeah, good, and if you got
• 1:59:32
  an albino, send her up, too, and in, like, 20
• 1:59:35
  minutes, I'm gonna be asleep, so get them up
• 1:59:37
  there. I had, like, half a bottle of melatonin,
• 1:59:40
  six beers, this whole f***ing bucket of chicken.
• 1:59:44
  Oh, the Sandman is coming. Oh, my a scientific
• 2:00:06
  discipline. Really? Why do you think they call
• 2:00:11
  me Dr. Quinn? I just thought that was a nickname.
• 2:00:15
  You know, like Dr. Gray. It's a stud. God, you're
• 2:00:20
  stupid. God, you're stupid. Hey, shut your hat.
• 2:00:29

  hole. I told you not, never, ever, not, no, damn,
• 2:01:25

• 2:01:27
  house again. I don't think you said his name.
• 2:01:30
  Some of us were a little too busy banging to
• 2:01:33
  exchange business cards. Don't you go Facebook
• 2:01:36
  him on the iBox, neither. Sheriff says you raised
• 2:01:38
  him down hell down at the library. Yeah, you
• 2:01:40
  know I did. Come on, man. You're going... No,
• 2:01:42
  you don't go. A real live robot? Or is that some
• 2:01:51
  kind of cheesy New Year's costume? Bite my shiny
• 2:01:55
  metal ass. It doesn't look so shiny to me. Shiner

  your favorite San Francisco DJ, Hammer Hank.
• 2:17:28
  I may look normal, but the truth is I have a
• 2:17:31
  condition called autism. That's right. It's a
• 2:17:34
  condition, not a disease. That is, autism can
• 2:17:37
  strike anyone, regardless of who they are. People
• 2:17:40
  with autism normally have difficulties in verbal
• 2:17:42
  and nonverbal communication skills, social interactions,
• 2:17:46
  and leisure activities. I have even worked in
• 2:18:00
  the San Francisco Bay Area as an honorary personality
• 2:18:03
  for many years. I will always remember that people
• 2:18:05
  with autism want the same things as you, to be
• 2:18:07
  happy and successful, and to find out more about
• 2:18:10
  you. The clock's a -jumpin', playin' cool breaks
• 2:18:21
  Copy's out, we're almost done, feels like robbery
• 2:18:23
  in banks Tryin' to copy on the mic, droppin'
• 2:18:26
  wisdom in screams Syndicated sorrow, now it's
• 2:18:28
  time to shatter dreams Oh, the happy hour is
• 2:18:31
  comin' still close Radio hits, made it like a
• 2:18:34
  well -composed Laughter and joy, dissolvin' in
• 2:18:37
  the air But we gave the rhythm all that's just
• 2:18:40
  so unfair is glowing dim. Ear drums mix and hop
• 2:18:50
  me like fingers without rings. CHX to FM. Shadows
• 2:18:53
  hit the street. As soon as sound will vanish
• 2:18:56
  like shadows in the heat. Outro Music Like clockwork
• 2:19:49
  to a show, now it's time to face the silence
• 2:19:51
  like a TV on Snow Riot Hoppy held the mic, with
• 2:19:55
  humor so divine The void left in our hearts wider
• 2:19:57
  than a canyon line LINE Empty speakers, silence,
• 2:20:06
  I'm a -comin' to an end Like a roller -coaster
• 2:20:08
  stoppin' round a river's bend Hoppy's jokes and
• 2:20:11
  bad scenes are daily grind Now silence louder
• 2:20:14
  than the thoughts we can't rewind And we'll call
• 2:21:08
  it a day. Poppy Hour is now over. Poppy Hour
