Lenovo, Lenovo. Hello, America's sweetheart Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast,

Crimeless, Hillbilly Heist, from Smartless Media, campside media, and big money players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high-functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third, The largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood except for the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon.

Then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're saying like, oh God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example. Listen to Crimless, Hillbilly Heist on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, here we go again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask,

why does history keep repeating itself? Each week, I'm calling up my friends like Bill Nye, Lily Singh, and Pete Buttigieg, to talk about everything from the space race to movie remakes to psychedelics. are you high? Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and

subscribe to here we go again with Cal Penn on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Kyle McLaughlin. You might know me as that guy from Twin Peaks, Sex and the City, or just the internet stand. I have a new podcast called What Are We Even Doing?

Where I embark on a noble quest to understand the brilliant chaos of youth culture. Each week, I invite someone fascinating to join me to talk about navigating this high-speed roller coaster we call reality. Join me and my delightful guests every Thursday, and let's get weird together, in a good way. Listen to what are we even doing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's your time to nominate a donkey of your own. Remember now. That is how they choose. Call in now. 805-85-105-101. Donkey today for Friday, October 3rd, is the people's donkey. You know, every Friday we allow you the people to call in and give someone the biggest he-haw.

So good morning, who this. It's KP, Mansfield. K.P., who you want to get the biggest he-haught-to, brother? Man, I want to give it to the NBA. I was just going to give it to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but I'm going to just give it to the NBA. Everybody that was trying not to score them points, and blowing everybody parleyes,

they wrong, we need our money back. That's going to be funny when people do a class action lawsuit against NBA and the NBA players. But I wonder about that. Like, if I bet money on a game, right, and he threw the game on purpose, how do you make that hole for people, you know?

I think, we think my group think Gilbert Arena snitched on everybody. Well, Gilbert is kind of leaning into that a little bit from what I saw yesterday, right? Yeah, we think, we think, we think he snitched on everybody and we need to see it matter of fact get him dog here today i think everybody need to stop thinking and just let everybody uh have day day in court absolutely i think should happen absolutely well terran rosary we know he was really

throwing them games because yeah i remember that video from that was like what 20 23 good morning who's this adrian peace adrian who you want to get the biggest he haul to i have to give the biggest e-haught to my son jacob my son jacob my nine-year-old son. Damn, what do you do? Because I've been asking him for a month what he wanted to be for Halloween and he didn't know. And then now this

morning he decides that he knows what he wants to be. And now it's like pulling teeth, hoping that the costume would come by Halloween. What does he want to be? On top of that, he wants to be some inflatable aliens. Lord, have mercy.

The inflatable aliens are easy to get. You could go to spirits or any of those. They have that. Even I think Target has that because my kid was that last year. My daughter did the same thing to me. She wanted to be a yellow care bear. And they ain't got that a spirit. So I had to order it next day, Amazon. Damn. Yeah, so.

Amazon says it might come after Halloween. Oh, damn. Walmart doesn't have me. I don't go to Target anymore. Yeah, Amazon is backed up. It's backed up, so. Listen, nobody going judge you if you sneak and talking. Matter of fact, this is what you.

Listen, just put on a Halloween costume so nobody knows it's you wear a mask you might have to just go in, nobody's going to say now just sneak in it right in and now, just get that one thing to come out. I promise you we won't tell Tamika Mallory, I promise you we're going to tell Jamal Bryant.

This year, guys. All right, stick to your conviction. I hear what I'm not judging. I appreciate y'all. Oh yeah, and also he lost his school phone book, so he's done too much in one week. Damn. Well, maybe you don't deserve a Halloween present.

Maybe that's your excuse. No, you lost your book. You don't get Halloween present a costume. Halloween present is cool. All right. Thank you. Thank you for calling. All right.

Good morning. Who's this? Hi, this is Alita. Good morning. You said Lolita? Yeah. Hey, a Lilita. Who you want to get the biggest e-haught to?

The entire North State administration staff. Wow. Damn. an athletic department. What do you do? What they do, they are making North State homecoming miserable and just

they're doing too much. They're doing too much. This year, they have sentenced off the entire campus. They want homecoming that's to be boring. You have to get your tickets. Then today,

you got to get your wristbands because if you don't have a wristband, you can't do the tailgating. They want the tailgating to be over by 8 p.m. and the grills and music to be off by 6 p.m. Why are they doing this? Is it for security reasons? Honestly, what we think is because of the Mike of Vic.

And that's exactly what it is. Norfolk State Homecoming hasn't been a big thing in years, but now that they got Mike Vic, everybody outside of just alum want to come. So I guess they're trying to try to make you secure everything. Keep your schedule. I mean, what's wrong with that? If you try to keep it organized, keep everything

on schedule? You don't make you don't make one person change your entire relationship. Well, maybe. The things I've been there before Mike Vick. You're right? Yeah. What if it's crazy? What if it's two times

the size that it usually is? It is going to be crazy. With no order. always, last year Newford State had over $30,000 without Mike. And this year, it's going to be double at this year and you know there's Old Dominion homecoming and Hampton homecoming.

So the 757 is going to be flood. And Virginia State. And Virginia State. So this is going to be flooded. The whole 757, that's 804, but the whole 757 is going to be flooded with people. So I guess they're trying to control it because police are going to be spread thin in that 757 this weekend. then the police have been crazy since he's got there and that's no problem no problem

but it's like you just making an inconvenience for people you know you have to get your tickets and then now you have to go and get your wristband well let's see what happens you know that's structure yeah well I'm gonna see what happened yeah that's structure and that order might be good I don't know I'll keep you posted all right and why do people act like they don't go to these events just to sit in traffic that's what y'all go to do y'all go is to be able to text everybody be like boy it's crazy out here we can't even move no you got one more one more person who's this hey this a girl key from chalston south carolina hey what's up home team who you want to get the biggest he haul to i want to give it to all americans right now

we are literally sitting back in the government play with us if they're going to shut down i feel like we need to shut down as well stop going to work stop paying bills it's getting ridiculous premiums are going up and pay wages aren't going up. I feel like we are the people who have the power, and when we open our eyes and realize that, the government won't have nothing to do about to submit to us. That's just how I feel about it. I do feel like we're past the point of political solutions

and it's going to take some type of national strike in order to really, really, really, really get this government to act right. I am starting to feel like that. Yes, like it's our everyday American paycheck, that keeps them in power, that keeps their bank account. If we, as Americans, literally say, hey, we are not going to work, they will panic. They will go crazy, literally. I think we got to start caring about the Constitution the way we care about pop culture.

Because I think about, like, the uproar there was when Jimmy Kimmel got removed, and then everybody decided they was going to cancel their Disney subscriptions, and then, you know, the Disney stock prices pummeled it. And all of a sudden Disney was like, oh, nope, you got to put them back. on air. So maybe we got to start caring about the Constitution and things like health care and, you know, government shutdown. We got to start caring about things like that the way we

care about pop culture. Yes, we definitely do. Thank you guys. Y'all have a great morning. You too. We do that every Friday. It's the people's donkey. You can call us 1-800-585-105-1 on Fridays. All you can go to the I-Heart Radio app. Click the Talkback app on the
