The Show - COFFEE TABLE

Episode Date: October 1, 2025

Are celebrity weddings as hectic & annoying as real weddings? Lots of boobie related checks this month. Are coffee tables old news? Have they gone the way of the buffalo? Plus, workplaces are letting people go barefoot (GROSS) and lots more on a Wednesdee!

We interrupt this program. Previously, critics had brailed against the duo as crude, dumb, ugly, thoughtless, sexist, self-destructive, and foolish. They are not part of the legitimate business world. What they do is they celebrate underachievement. And all candor, I would tell you it's outrageous, Phil. And if I could find somewhere constitutionally to do away with it, I would. So now, today is when we wake up, Green Day? Now.

Okay. Hey. So September's all done, so now I got, okay. Now, come on it. Hey. Billy. Yeah, I got. Billy, get up.

I'm just giving two minutes. Oh, no. September is it. Now get up. You had a whole month, sir. Oh, ho, ho. Happy old whiskey Wednesday. Oh, yeah.

Wow, there's already Wednesday. Oh, we're moving right along. Good. Twitch.tv. slash K-E-Rox, C-N-Y. How was everyone's Tuesday? Good Tuesday? Beautiful frickin' day.

It was Freddy's birthday yesterday. He got some birthday presents. I don't know that. Good Freddy. Oh, no, you know, Fri. I don't know how old he is. I have to go back and count, but it's been around a while that dog. Oh, I don't know.

Like, seven? Did I get him before you started in here, right? No. No, no. I don't, did you? No, I don't know. He's got? You'd have to wait.

I don't remember now. You'd have to go back to like your Facebook memories or something and see when. I don't really even know. You have a, like his paper. I do, but they're in a filing cabinet. I guess, yeah, six or seven? Six, seven. Oh, three girl.

Bro, six, seven. Can you believe it? Can you believe it? What? Because I didn't, I took over this show 10 years ago, and I didn't have them when I worked with Hunter, right? No. No.

Did I have them? It was right, right about. It would have been like six or seven years, I think. Yeah. Yeah. It was his birthday. He got some new toys. He got this little Kong.

I say like I'm surprised, too, even though I bought them. He got this little, like, Kong tire that you put a little spray cheese in it. Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about. Kept them real busy. We don't want to give him too much. No, I get you. But he likes it. Juggad used to have one of those, the little tire.

Yep. Yep, with the cheese spray. Licks the cheese, the bacon cheese spread out of it. Yep, absolutely. You know how that goes. Our oldest, we went to the dollar store to get him his birthday gifts. Nice. And our oldest saw one of the confetti poppers and said, can we get this for Freddie?

And I said, if you clean it up. It was it cool? Was it worth? It was different from what the dogs used because it was in a champagne bottle shaped. Yeah. And you twist it. Yeah. But they're all like shiny streamers that came out.

It was cool. That's what I mean. Is it worth maybe investing in for the next? No, because the entire outside was covered in glitter and I hate glitter. Oh, okay. Then yeah. No, I like the other ones. We didn't know way people enough with just leaving the little pieces of paper everywhere.

I like the ones that currently the dogs use. Those are nice ones. How is everyone else this Tuesday? Good. A lot of great apple picking weather this week. And I mean going out? Hey. Going exploring, doing some falltime activities. Of course, Saturday night, we'll be up at Frightmare Farms.

It's got to be more about that throughout the morning today. It keeps looking more gorgeous there and more gorgeous and more gorgeous. Every couple, every minute. A lot of people just getting gifted subs there. Thank you. Swinging very low. I don't know what Valerant means. Valerant added two gifted subs and nine bowl.

bonus gift subs. All right. Thank you. Appreciate that. Thank you so much. Oh, no, thanks. Oh, who is it? Hey, hey, Fuzz. Oh, Fuzz was an accident. Fuzz accidentally gave away way too many subs on accident once. That's what you asked. Yikes. But we appreciate you. Thank you so much. Of course, uh, bitties and subs. Appreciate those. Do you think that like when you go to a celebrity wedding? Because I'm looking at Selena Gomez's wedding pictures here. Yes, whatever question you have I can answer. Oh, okay. Do you think that like the celebrity wedding is as like hectic as a normal wedding? Yeah, more so.

I bet, because it's probably more pressure to make it's got to be perfect because it's going to be on all the things. But also those people are like assassins of, you know, getting things done when it comes to, you know, like weddings and planning and timing and the flowers and the, you know what I mean? And they probably got a whole staff of people ready. Those wedding planners are like top notch out there, I would imagine. It's not just like a, you know, offense to any body around here, but it sounds just like a wedding planner that lives in Syracuse. No, I know. I get it.

It's like the top of the top. Yeah, like I've done. They probably have like profiles. And like I've put together, you know, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Oh, yeah. That's the only example I can come up with. That's fine. That's a very topical reference.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, very recent. Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman. Okay. Hey, wow, you have a very, you don't have a great success rate. If this is what you're listing off for your weddings that you've done. Bruce Jenner and, what's her name? I can't remember her. She wasn't very memorable, her or her family.

I don't know if they were any, they were going to make it. Have you heard anything about them? Who was that? Bruce Jenner and his family? No, I don't know anything about them. I don't like your resume so far. Not a lot of successful. So that person probably wouldn't get hired as much.

No, I was just, like, I'm wondering, like, do they, is it like that thing where you're like, okay, everybody, we're going to go take our photos. So you guys hang out here and do like, you know, just like cocktails and snacks for two hours. But it's a bunch of other famous people that are also there. Yeah, so they're all just mailing about. But they're not all in the wedding party. So they just might be like Chris Evans. Just standing around. I had a wedding over the weekend. I didn't even tell you about that. I went to, uh, my wife's. He got married, so we went, but it was at that, what hell is it called, that lodge?

It used to be over Welsh Allen, but it's not Welsh Allen anymore. It's in Skinny Alice. Oh, I know what you're talking about from like seeing that on the news for some reason. It's a little fancy spot. We used to do like some fundraisers there. That's where the wedding was, and I got to give him credit. I didn't get to give Molly a shout out, but it was planned to the second. I loved it.

What was the eat? So here's the food, dude. The food. It's clutch. The food is clutch. Oh, what up? Phoenix is on TV. John Ciburla High School, breast cancer, pink out.

Thank you, Lisa Spitz, for going up to my town. See all my friends and family out there. So we were in there and wedding starts exactly on time. Oh, perfect. As soon as the ceremony's done, there's food and drinks over in the bar immediately. And it's all at the same place. Both of my kids were like, we don't got to go anywhere else. And I'm like, nope.

It's all literally almost in the same room. That's where it's, you're like, okay. So we walk over, now we're doing, I'm doing, what am I doing? I got some cheese bread. There's little cups of fettuccini for like a snack. Oh, they had like the little cups. Oh, I love that stuff. I don't drink at events, but people were getting their drinks and I was enjoying a little lemon water.

Nice. They had fancy water? Yes. I mean, this was. That's what's that. It was no Selena Gomez wedding, but dude. So then that little section wraps up. They introduced the wedding party inside fireworks.

These like two machines that made like sparklers. For like concerts. Yeah. For like wrestlers. So they come down. That was cool. Then boom. Food is available.

Go ahead. Get your food. One, two, three. What did I get? Yeah. What was the... So there was... But you're just saying there's inside fireworks.

for just save that. Yeah, I already priced the machines out. They're not that expensive. Okay. All right, so the options for food. There were multiple stations. All right. So there was the Nyoki with Braised brisket station. Okay.

There was a... I like a yokey. There was, I think it was like a roast beef of some kind. There was a roast beef station. Horse radish? So I can go like this? Well, I want to mean it? Yep.

Oh, yeah, there was that. Yes. Other side of the room. There was a salmon station. That's all right. Go ahead. My wife got that. Everybody, Eddie, we got to hear it happens as a salmon.

Oh, what? Do you have a salmon story? No, I couldn't really, I didn't want to crotch chop as the dirty dog in, like, the face of Lisa Spitz. Oh, that's right, because he was eating salmon. So I destroyed his salmon dish. That's right. And then they had, dude, a mac and cheese, like a steak mac and cheese. Like, cut up steak into mac and cheese.

Having a steak and mac and cheese like in a little thing. Yeah. That's very popular. Did you have that? Everything with the salmon. What was the mac and cheese? Was that top notch? Honestly, the noki with the brazed beef.

Yeah. That was so good. I don't ever have yokey and I loved it. No. So then, I think that was all the food. Probably, then there was maybe other things I didn't try. Yeah, that's okay, because then I would like to know what the... So then they cut the cake and they wheel out this big station.

And I don't know what's going. going on. There's a whole plate of cookie, like old table of cookies. Just to wet your whistle. And I went and... He wetted his whistle. He wetted his whistle. I was a little bit of an inspiration at the cookie table, by the way. I didn't tell you this because... You kicked it off? Well, yeah. Everyone was just eyeballed it and you were like, I'm not embarrassed to say this, but I kicked off

almost every single thing. I was probably the first one to the bar to the bar for the snacks every time. You know what? That you were probably appreciated by a hell of a lot of people. And I always am. Thank you. I always am. Because everyone's like, I always am. I'm the opposite. Nope. I'm the dead opposite. You just wait?

I'll wait till everybody's done just because I'm like, I don't want to be in one person's way, even though I'm just as allowed to be here. You are making a great point that I think a lot of people secretly enjoy that I'm always first up to go because everyone's afraid to start. So when they said, folks, you can hop yourself to the food stations now. Who's the first on his feet? Who's the second in line to the New Yorkie station? Your boy. New York me. Yeah.

So now we're up to the. cookies and I was an inspiration to a fella who was also the cookie table and he was talking to his girlfriend and I was like taking multiple cookies. Well, there's probably multiple kinds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he goes to his girlfriend. See, he took more than one. So I don't know if I was ending an argument or starting an argument, but I was part

of an argument. Sounds like you ended it if you ask me. He goes, see, you got more than one. And then at the end, the whole station I told you they were. All right. Yeah, yeah, that's been in my mind this whole time. And Molly's wedding. I'm waiting.

I want to say, I don't even know if I'm saying it right, but like nitrogen ice cream or whatever this is. Kind of like dipping dots, but it's not. Excuse me? I don't know if I'm saying it right, but the guy had a big metal bowl and this nitrogen thing that was, I guess, freezing the ice cream. And he was making it, it was like a maple chocolate. thing, dude? I don't know. Am I even saying it right?

Am I giving the right gas? Was it like from a place? Or was it just like a guy? No, it's like they did it there. Because I see a place called chilling. That seems like what they do. Liquid nitrogen ice cream, dude. I want that.

It was clutch. And that was the first one up there too, so you're welcome. That's awesome. You're welcome. Oh, ice cream. You can always count on me to get the food started. Yeah. I'm not going to stand around like a dope.

What are we doing here? The people are there for reason. Yeah, what are you doing here? They don't want to just stare at you. No. We want to know if you like ice cream sundaes. All right. All right.

Did you catch the game last night? It's still hot out there. Shut it down. Government shut down. Shut it all this down. Shut all this down. What is this? Good morning.

It's K Rock. If that was summer, does that mean that I would have been able to get to like parks for free? No, I think the park would have just been closed, right? There's no one to work the parks. Good luck. You mean it's... You can't own the outdoors, man.

That's it. I mean, at a place like Verona, there's no... Yeah, I'm sure you're just rolling. There's no gate. Like, right now there's nobody there. So it would be like that? And well... Because that would suck.

I don't want any of those people to be a lot of job. It's just a random question. This is only going to affect national parks. This wouldn't affect county parks, which are a lot of the parks you go to. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. This is a national government shut down. The national government shut down. Shut all this down.

Lock it up. Close it up. Everybody go home. Go to bed. We're shutting it down. Happy Whiskey Wednesday, y'all. You want to come get a drink with me? I won't be shut down.

No, the only thing shutting down will be just as a liver. Any day now. Tonight, 7 p.m. We're on our fall time hours. It's pitch black outside. And I do like it. I do like that it gets dark earlier. I know that.

But then when do we fall back? I don't even know. When is this going to be 530? Now, and then. Don't. Then is that it? Every year we do this. We're just saying, that don't we don't know.

Is that it? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Because once somebody gets wind of maybe, because I'm not thinking about it right now, then what? You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, you get to be, boom, done.

Yeah. Oh, tax sign says government shutdown means no FCC. I can say whatever I want now. I'm not going to test that. I'm not going to test that. No, November's when we fall back. All right. 11-2.

Oh, don't. All right. I don't even say. So we'll fall back in November and then, this will be 5.30. If it gets dark at 7, it's going to be getting dark at 6. That I don't like. See, but remember, because I flip-flop on this.

So right now is when I think I'm okay with it. Yeah. Right now is the sweet spot for me. Because this is my perfect fall time. Yeah. This is October is my favorite month. So, but, all right, so you don't want it then. You want it, you want one more cycle.

You want once we hit the spring to jump forward and then to be done. No, like, I like this literally right now. No, I know. That's what I mean. See how I'm seeing the sun crest here at 6.30 as the Scott, like you can't see it on our camera. Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. On the Patriot Cam.

A little bit of the sun come up right now. Okay, so yes. And then I'm done with my day at six. You like jumping forward. I go to bed at 8.30. So if I can get like two hours of darkness at the end of my day, selfishly, right now, chef's kiss. This is what I like.

So you want the Trump start to ask. So those more get up to this November thing to be like, no. No, because then I don't know how the globe works. So. Because now I got to remember. I don't think it matters.

I don't think it matters anymore. It does because like we're, what is it further from the sun, I think. So like the, I don't know. I thought it was just didn't, or did we debunk that?

I thought it was just for farmers. And if they're fine with it, then we can just stay like this. All right. Katie says this is daylight saving time. Okay, so you like daylight savings time. So when we fall back, that'll be standard time. So I think I do like daylight saving time.

And for a while, I like standard time. Okay. And then I flip flop eventually because then I'm like, no, I don't think I want it to be dark at whatever. All I know. I don't really remember when I flip flop. I just know I do. Whatever we're in right now is literally perfect

because I go through my day. Yeah. And then every night I can go do a little fire on my, deck and it's crisp and it's cold and I do that till like seven and then I can come inside at seven. Well, here's the thing. Stindork. I don't know anything about the globe either.

I just know that that's only now time. What? You can't keep it spinning on the same axis or whatever the hell. I can't keep this exact weather. I get it. Again, I like it when it's a little darker at, you know, like in the summer at, you know, like 830. We can have dark summer at like 830.

Yeah, we don't need, I don't need 10 p.m. son. I don't need it be. But. New message from Macintosh Palermo. Good morning from Macintosh Palermo. What does that mean? Palermo. I know where Palermo is, but Macintosh Palermo.

Is that a road? Not a raw. Twitch.com. We'll be drinking tonight, whether it's dark or not. 7 p.m. Brought you by. I don't want to go see. I'm going to hit a liquor wine and moonshine.

See what they got. What did I have last week? Thick and maple. I had that really big. Big bourbon. That's a good one. I think you've had it before. The pumpkin one there.

I don't like pumpkin flavors. Oh, yeah. I don't like pumpkin flavors. It's a pallet company. All right. Well, what up, Macintosh Palermo? Well, hello there. I'll find something.

I'll stay a guy. They got a shot of stuff over there. I bet they have a whole, like, false section. So come join me tonight. Seven o'clock. Shout out to C.Y Central up in my hood. Phoenix. Get all up in there.

Shout out to the JCB. girls team on the news this morning. I love seeing a little Phoenix love on the TV. That's great. Kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which we should be really doing something for since we both have breast cancer survivors in our lives. I always

have wanted to do a thing. What do I want to do? We want to do. Oh, I mean I mean, now we don't need to do like a fundraiser. Well, that's, I know. That's what I wanted to do. I wanted to come up with there's something, but that would be fun. We got to do something, right? I wanted to tie in the cannabis.

And I don't know if this is a men's month thing, too, because women relax. No, you, I check. No, but I'm saying, last year of Sweengo Health had some kind of like prostate thing.

Oh, regardless. You check mine all the time. I'm good. I know you do. No, I did the permanent one that I'm going to have Kyle go back over. I still have my, that was my, like my first tattoo. Right here in the studio. It was my breast cancer ribbon on my arm there, but I'm going to have to have him go back over it.

I haven't checked my balls in a little while. I'll have to get back in there. And again, Cody back. Cody does offer all of those services.

He can do it remotely. If you just want to send him photos, he can just give a quick glance. He's not a medical professional, but spread them cheeks. It's a pre-screening before you go to your doctor. He can take a look at it. Do a two-for-one special. Couples come on in. Yes, exactly right.

By the way, coming up Saturday, we hope that you join us. Oh, did Frightmare Farms? The weather looks amazing every day.

So good. Every day the weather gets better. Yep. So just get your tickets. It's going to sell out. Get your tickets now. Yep. It's going to be nice and cool.

You're not going to be hot because it's going to be like 80 all day. Yeah, but then it's not going to get there. Yep. It's going to start to just cool down. not get cold. It's going to be a perfect night. Oh, man. Cody, at the end of an era.

Oh, no, what? As America Online has discontinued its dial-up service. Yesterday was the last day. Sorry, Bob. Are they still going to be honoring all of the hours and hours of free internet I have left? I have a whole file cabinet full of those CDs. I know. I know.

I'm sorry. I had Internet for life. I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's messed up. Now, it is messed up because for those of you that don't know, there's a lot of parts of this country that do not have high-speed internet.

It's kind of been a push to get people in rural communities. The internet, it is a utility, in my opinion. So there are some people that only can get dial-up or a DSL service. Oh, this actually does mess with people? It will affect people, yeah. Oh, that's not fair. Because it probably doesn't cost what? I don't know.

A nickel. to run. I would imagine that's why, I would imagine their servers is probably more expensive than what they're making off of it at this point. But it does, you know, screw a few people. Yeah, you're definitely going to have to play that.

I don't know if I can. You said play the dial-up sound. Here's the weird thing about broadcast radio. There's certain sounds that if I play over the speakers, it will trigger things. Oh, really? You think that would trigger things? If I play like the dial-off sound or the emergency broadcast sound,

that one you get fined for. Well, not really not right now. There's nobody there. Play the dial-up sound. I don't want to play it because I don't know if it's going to trigger something or Chief Engineers. Here, I'll do an impression of it. Wee, we, we, we, do, do, do, do, do, do, Josh, get off the phone. Woo, whee, do.

Jazz, I got to call work. Come on, dude. You had old days. I know, but I saw you get home, so that reminded me. You're going to got on a computer, so I needed to use the phone. Sucks. America Online. discontinued its dial-up service yesterday, marking the end of the 90s internet access.

You no longer have mail. Once boasted 20 million users. Wow. I was like 10 of those users. Aim, man. Aim. So that's gone then, right? Is that it?

No, because there's still AOL. Like, if you go to AOL, it's still a thing. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Aim is not a thing. It's just there's no more. Bebe, be, be, beep. Yeah.

Company pulled the plug on dial-up connections yesterday. it noted the hum and were of the dial-up modem was how many people first connected to the internet. It was awesome. It was awesome. AOL continues operating services, other services maintaining its email addresses and tech support for identity theft, blah, blah, blah.

So yeah, yeah. Yeah, John has an AOL email. There are people that still have AOL emails. Mr. Crabbs used an AOL email to like a couple years ago when Lauren made him updated. That's hilarious. No, that, I only have. remember any of that? Because I used to play like a lizard game on AOL.

There was like a... Jousting game. It was like, oh, I wish. I've got a josting game. A medieval game, obviously, obviously a josting game. But no, I remember there was a couple games and that was it. Mm-hmm. Those were the days. My original screen name on AOL was Wieser 299, because

Weezer was my favorite band and I was the class of 99. See, mine was code dog something forever. Was it really? Yeah. Weezer 299 at AOL was my email. The first time I even accessed AOL was at Nanny's house. May she rest in peace. Now Nanny ended up getting bit in the

ass by AOL as her husband then left her because of someone on the internet. It's a whole story. Oh yeah. Yeah, but we were better off. We were better off. Get him out of here. Where are we Nanny? Weren't we Nanny. Much better off. I'd just connect and I'd go to the message

boards and I'd read articles about bands and then the internet became a wasteland. It used to be so innocent. It used to just be a little desk you'd go to. And then all all the people that said it was going to be, all these damn kids on the internet, oh, my, all these internet.

You're the ones that have ruined it. Yeah, you're the ones that ruined it. Thanks. And now, every single one of our content provided, I'm not going to get into it. No. They're all owned by the same conglomerate, so it's just a big propaganda machine.

Yeah, this is fun. This is fun. Hey, where'd all those black vans this come from? But to celebrate the end of America Online, what is your ASL? Can I get some ASLs, please? I am a 16-year, old teenage girl from Sarasota, Florida.

Oh, I'm from California. Oh, nice to meet you. Hi, I'm sorry, did I startle you? When you're used to hearing a certain type of commercial, something like this can, well, take you by surprise. That's kind of how it is with the Lexus RX, a vehicle that has continued to defy expectations for over 25 years, from the first luxury vehicle of its kind

to the first hybrid luxury vehicle to the only plug-in hybrid worthy of the RX name. We understand you want more than the everyday SUV. It isn't being understood an amazing feeling. See Burdick Lexus in Cicero. We won't leave a light on at Frightmare Farms on Saturday. You want it to be dark. Yeah.

Or if you need to leave a little light on, see the people when you walk in and get that no scare thing. That is true. Come around the corner and I'll go, I want. Hello, ma'am. I want to point that out. because they do really cool things at Freibbair Farms.

They have a term for it, but I don't know what it is. Basically, it's very sensory friendly. Yeah. So if you have, if you or your child is maybe has a sensory issue or your sensory overloaded, they have a million different things they can do for you. Plus, if you're like, I want to go through the attractions, but I don't want to be scared, they give you a little battery powered candle. Yep.

And then we don't. And if we see you come up with the candle, we're just kind of. Pat on the fanny, maybe. We just kind of stand there. Hello? I don't know what I'm making bread. I'm just baking bread. Oh, hello.

Shurning butter. Oh, this axe. I'm not a demon. I'm just here. I've been eating raspberry scones. Yeah. So if you've got, you know, sensory issues or your children do it or whatever, FrightmareFarms, NY.com, they list everything they do. It's really great over there.

Oh, me? I'm just working on an email. Oh, what? I just hit reply. Oh, oh, have a good day. So there's a lot of controversy, I guess, and I didn't really think about it until I started reading this article about how we have, we may be in the end times of coffee tables. Now, I don't have a coffee table. Do you have a coffee table?

No. But growing up, we always had coffee tables, and I never thought about it. I owned that book, Kramer wrote a coffee table book about coffee tables. If I had a house, I'd have a coffee table. You would. Yes. Now why? Because you can put like your drinks, bongs on it.

Well, I have no coffee table. That way Alsa can have full run of... Range of motion. Whatever she wants. That way it's more fair for her because, you know, I hate that she doesn't have any room. So this way, she's got the almost the entire living room. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I kind of make the living room dog-friendly. It's a dog area. Yeah. But if I had a house, I'm like, get outside of around around. And then I'd have a coffee table, but I'd have a cool one. Like, I think back. through my life, and I get really weirded out by how much life I've lived. But that's a conversation for another day.

Like, I'll have memories of it. Like, that was 20 years ago. But it's also like, maybe it wasn't. Maybe this is a coma dream. I digress. I do it all the time. I'm like, oh, my God. I just explained to somebody on Monday about, I broke my leg because they were talking about Tyree Kill.

And I was like, believe me, I know I snapped my leg in half. And I went like 10, you, 20. 23, oh my God, 23rd. It's weird, right? Oh, Jesus. Yeah, so. I know I say it a lot, but I don't know what happened in my 30s. I don't know where those went, and I know you all say that I was raising young kids.

Yeah, so I mean, we've had, I know where they go. We've had busy lives, bro. But I think back to when my wife and I were first dating, and she had the apartment over at Grenadier, big coffee table. Yeah. Right there in the middle. Yeah. We'd eat our meals on it.

We'd do the things. You know, you could craft on it. You put your computer on it. it. And then when we got to the house, no coffee table. You don't need it. And I guess there's a whole dumb bunch of reasons people are debating. So first of all, do you guys have a coffee table? Or are you more end table people? We're more end table people, I think. Now, end table, yes. I even have a, well, that doesn't, it's not, it's an outdoor glass patio

end table, but it's still an end table. It's nice. It's very nice. Thank you, don't. So people are, uh, are debating the pros and cons of coffee tables as we're now. in this kind of in-between era. They say coffee tables are vital for holding drinks. They like to have the drinks right in front of you. Like Joe right now is sitting at one right now drinking an espresso. I get that. That's nice.

Also for like dinners and stuff. I like to have that. See, I like a TV tray. I'm a TV tray guy. I love it. To be honest with you, the poor single guy move, but I really like it. my stool that I have that I sit on for like cocoa puffs and whatever over there sometimes. It fits a plate perfect.

Oh, nice. So I can like walk from the kitchen, set that on that and just pick them both up and walk over. That's really nice. There's no room for error though. No, you'll slide right off the edge of that. There's no room for error. We're debating the pros and cons of coffee tables. That's clutch.

Katie said the really good thing. Clutch. My recliner has wooden arms that holds drinks. Yeah, we're thinking the next time we can afford to, like, upgrade our furniture. It's the best. I think we're going to recliners in my house. Because we've had that wraparound couch that you've seen every time we come over. We've had that forever.

And the dog is just ruined it. Like the cushions are just destroyed. So we're thinking maybe next time we change furniture, we'll just go to like, we'll be the old couple with recliners now. Get the thing like that, what Katie's talking about. But the middle, you're like the recliner, but the sides are you? So it's all one big sick, whatever. Or just start saving now.

And in several years you could have the down payment for one of those things that Ben has, the love sacks. Oh, I thought you were going to say the massage chairs we sat in at the fairgrounds, dude. Because that, my wife, my wife might sell personal belongings. You still one of those. I can't even begin to tell you once a day. You think about that chair? I think about the because my back

and it did something where it would just do the best little massagey thing for your back ever and I think about it all the time so back to this article but we're discussing coffee tables the pros and the cons do you have one? Do you not have one? Clutter. Got to be a con. It's a big con

they say it's a place people just start to just put stuff. They'll put the mail there. They'll put the computer there. Everything is just there. Getting covered in junk. can that put away. That was a main reason I wanted to bring my weed Adirondack chair over to the rents so it can get stained and then use it eventually when I'm, you know, have an outside area.

Because I was just piling things on it. Yeah. Yeah. I would just come inside and put, you know, my stuff from the day on it. And I'm like, you're not a table. Now, I will say something that we have in our house that many people don't have. And it's kind of a game changer. Because I see a lot of you texting in saying, we like to use our coffee tables for puzzles.

and board games. My wife. My wife could literally do a jigsaw puzzle a day. That's how much she loves jigsaw puzzles. So we have a rolling puzzle table. That's very similar to a coffee table, but it can be rolled away and folded. Those are neat.

And I wired it up with a nerdy light so she could have a light on it. So that gets used for board games and puzzles. Yep. So back to other things that we have. Coffee tables can be helpful when guests. come over? Have another surface for drink, snacks? Yeah, board games? Yeah, usually when you have like a little

little like football party or something, you set up a couple tables, stuff like that. Where there's places for stuf. Toward the negative, they're dangerous. How many times are you bump your toe into a coffee table? It's just sitting right there. We're just shins. Stupid kids running

into them. We've got to put little things on the ends. A lot of you are using large Ottomans. Textline says, we have a large Ottoman and then a tray that's heavy and sits on part of the couch, you can move around. My in-laws do that. I like that. I like the large ottoman move.

It's a solid move. We have a set of coffee table and end tables. We use the end tables for everything as we have recliner love seats. Coffee table is used by the grandkids to play cards. Very nice. Very nice. I guess it's just a matter of how much room you have and need. Yeah.

I just never thought until I read this article about that we're in the transitional area of coffee table. Some of us have. Some of us don't. That's it. 7 o'clock whiskey Wednesday, presented by liquor, wine, and moonshine. State Fair Boulevard, do you want to buy some booze? And of course, East Coast Emeralds present that 720.

Smoke break, what are you showing me here? What is a big announcement coming? See what I'm saying, dude? That's what I'm saying, dude. Something's coming up. So, all right, behind the curtain a little bit. Yeah, forget everything else. Every year I emcee the Tracy Road

Taste of Tracy Road event they do in October. Yeah. And it's for all you people that work in that business to come out and eat and look at... Come say hi. I think it's open anybody. I don't know. But Tracy Road sells heavy equipment and big stuff. And I've just always been the host every single year.

Last year's taste of Tracy Road, my life partner, Cody showed up because he and I bought Oasis tickets at the event. Now, I know you guys have not heard enough about Oasis yet, so we'll keep talking about them. Biblical. Biblical. Liam's been teasing a month. He's got a little tease. Where he said to see you next year.

I played that clip. You already heard it. And then he started tweeting in Roman numerals because he's back on Twitter. And then just this morning, he tweeted what big announcement coming? He's got a big announcement coming soon. Keep your voice peels. So the Tracy Road event and Oasis are forever like ingrained together in my mind now. Yeah.

I agree. Absolutely. So, anyways, I digress. I know that you guys don't tune in for all Oasis content. We would do it. And we could. We can't. Well, we won't.

We can't. I mean, you digress, but after tomorrow, we digest some delicious food. Absolutely. I kind of want a Yido Body. Get a Yido Body. I think I might do it a Yido Body and then bring a couple of the other things home because that's the move. And I know we got, I always meet so many showbros out of this thing. There's a ton.

If anybody's going to the Tracy Road Taste of Tracy a road event tomorrow, come say hey to your boy. I know Cody will be there too because he's not working it, but it's literally by his mom's house. It's the last couple of years. It's so easy. I go there, eat some food. Roll back, scoop up, Elsa, and pop back on that air highway. It's a Cocoa Puffs night.

There you go. That's what I'm saying. Snackies. I want, before I preface this story here that I'm going to read, I want to say if this is ever implemented here at Galaxy Media Partners, I'm out. Uh-oh, okay. As companies are now encouraging a no-shoe's policy or shoe-free in-the-office policy, I'm out.

If I come in here and people are just walking around on barefoot, I'm out. Listen, if the rugs were clean enough to walk around like it was our houses, I probably would. I don't even go barefoot in my own house. I got my house shoes. I have my slippers. My little that. House shoes. Or same.

I have my indoor shoes that I'll wear, but I like, I like bare feet's, but I also know that in the summer, I'm wearing bare feet's like going out to walk out, so I don't want to come back in, you know what I mean, and then have my bare feet on the whatnots. I don't want to see my coworkers bare feet. Some.

I don't, oh. Slippers, socks, and the occasional novelty toll warmers are fast becoming part of office dress codes in hopes of boosting creativity and easing stress. There's not a real thing. That's not a real thing. What office is allowing people? All right, I'm getting toe warmers just so we're clear.

What are they? What do they do? Just a little slip on. Like, imagine little sheaths for your feet. And you like those? No socks. Just to keep your toesies warm. Yeah.

That's hilarious. But yeah. So, like, we could just be working. from home, but y'all insist on people come back to the office. Yeah, everyone go be here. But you can take your shoes off. One can they have my pants off? I mean, yes. But no, a lot of people, because that's like the a lot of people do it, but that's like the,

the move is still similar to like the 90s business mom. Do you remember seeing that where she'd wear like her high heels? And then she comes home. She's got to put on her pumps to leave work. So it's the mom or the business lady with the full. office dress but leaving work so got on her rebox. And she comes home from work and she kicks off those high heels and just, oh, my dogs are barking. They're barking.

Mm-hmm. They're barking. With record levels of work-related stress, rising burnout, and labor force increasingly focused on well-being. Okay. But you know what might help a lot of those things is just paying people more money. Call me crazy. Yeah, I would wear a goddamn clogs from Sweden or whatever those wooden shoes are. If the decision is, well, we could pay you more.

Or you can be barefoot. I'll just take the money, thanks. I'll wear boots. I wear big old 20-eyed Doc Martins every day. I mean, this is worse than, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to raise and just be able to live normally? Come on a pizza party! Would you like a cost of living raise as everything is going more expensive, getting more expensive?

Or just buy a little toe warmers and just get around the office. Or just go do your thing. You could walk around on these rugs that we only will be cleaning once a year because the person that makes that decision doesn't live in this state. Inspired in part by Silicon Valley startups Where footwear free floors What? Like the floor, like that whole floor is footwear free?

Oh, okay, I didn't. On the ninth floor, we're quirky. You don't got to wear shoes. But see, again, though, that's... So, I mean, is everybody doing it? Because it has to be... It's got to be all or nothing? Yeah, you can't have half the people being like,

yeah, we don't wear shoes here. And then, you know, whoever comes trudging in with their combat boots full of mud and be like, I'm wearing my damn shoes. I got a fungus. You ain't seeing my toesy-wosies. And I don't know if I'm just stupid. I mean, I know I'm stupid. But they say this policy improves focus, comfort, and even staff morale.

I don't, there's no correlation there. How would I have a boosted morale because I ain't got shoes on? And if, I mean, that's what's doing it. I feel like you might have some other issues at play here with your work environment. If that is what is making you be like, that's it. Guys, you're never going to believe this. Guess what I can do at work? You want to talk about taking it from here to here.

And I'm like, what, what? I ain't got to wear shoes. Oh, that sucks. My company only matches my 401K. I was just like, cool, Huck, Finn. I just got a cost of living raise. Yeah. Oh, okay.

Now, there are some, if you're just tuning in, Fortune has an article where I am again saying, absolutely not Galaxy Media Partners, why you got them dogs out? Yeah, why you got them dogs out? Some companies are allowing totally free footwear, no socks, no anything.

Some schools, some offices are requiring you must have at least socks on. And honestly, I kind of feel like you could do that here. What here? Nobody is going to say anything if people just start walking around in their socks. I guarantee you, nobody would. I guarantee you I could wear.

I could walk around all day today with just my socks on and nobody would say anything. You and I have a different expectation, I think. But like if Super Salad did it, I bet, you know what I mean? No one's going to say anything. And I'm going to say, I mean, let me give a caveat to this. Whereas I'm being a negative Nelly. If you sit in a cubicle and you want to take your shoes off, I don't care. Pop Muff.

Go ahead. I do it all the time. I do it over here. I'm here. If you're in your area, your office, your cubicle, you want to take your shoes off? Go right ahead. Go right ahead. I'm talking about these people who are encouraging, go shoot free bod and walk around the floor. Just being about and about out doing meetings, standing talking to each other, probably playing footsy with their naked toes. And I'm going to read you this sentence. Going like this with them. This is just going to sound like the most uppity, hippy-dippy-dippy thing. But I'm going to read you this guy's statement.

This is Andy Hague, CEO of TechWest Midlands, says, quote, Love sucking toes. Wearing shoes makes me feel disconnected from the floor. The lack of feeling is profoundly destabilizing. I'd say the effect is so strong that I'm only 70% able to concentrate. The rest of me is just thinking, this feels wrong. Okay, so. Bro.

I get, bro. Because he's doing what the, what the, receiver that the bills used to have that Mac Collins what he used to do. Holland wouldn't wear socks or shoes and he would just wear bare feet like going from like wherever like into the stadium. So like walking over the

bare ground and he would say it helps him connect with the earth. That's fine. You want to do that? But then don't start doing that or you're going to start blaming. Well I can't focus because I'm in footprudence. I'm only going to be 70% productive. That's on you boss.

Yeah. What? No. No, that's not going to be how that works. You don't get to make up an excuse. Well, how can I focus? I'm doing something so wrong to my feet. And there are other jobs where I think it is acceptable to be barefoot. Like Andy's messaging in. Andy lives in Myrtle Beach, says my boss walks around barefoot all the time.

It's not acceptable, but I think if you work in Myrtle Beach. Where, though? On the beach? That's your only exception. Is he a lifeguard? Right. Just not. Don't make people look at your goddamn toes.

That's the other thing. I don't want to look at your stupid feet. Call me. Maybe it's selfish. I don't want to see them dogs. Yeah, don't make me look at your weird man feet. Because the people that always do that or say that, like Andy Hayer or whatever, he's got the nastiest freaking yellow toenails. I should be, I'm only got to have my feet out.

And he's got weird, like, hobbit hair all over them. And this is a sad reality that we have to admit, there's a lot of horny perves out there, too. And they work in your office. Yeah. And they're going to be looking at your feet in ways and objectifying your feet in ways. And I don't kinkshame as long as it's consensual, but that ain't consensual. No, it's, they're getting off to your feet and you're just walking around your office. Yeah, no, it's going to have to be a, it's going to have to be a big no for me.

I'm going to say big, big no, dog. No, that's a no. Sorry. Put him away. Put him away. You wearing shoes at work today or not? Or just wear sandals. Seven o'clock whiskey Wednesday.

I will go live on our Twitch channel. Have a great day at work, sugar. I'll go live at 7 o'clock tonight to sip on a little whiskey. Smoke on a little good, good. Oh, my God. Come on in, officers. He admitted it. He admitted.

And then he married him's mother-in-law. 7 p.m. tonight. We're going to drink. We're going to have a little smoke. We're going to hang. Watch some music videos. And it's all brought to you by our friends at Liquor Wine and Moonshine. State Fair Boulevard.

Do you want to buy some booze? Also shout out to our 720 smoke break sponsor, East Coast Emeralds over there right behind the Daily Diner in North Syracuse. Wonderful. I've always loved Wheel of Fortune. I think it's back to my grandparents used to watch it. Used to. I don't anymore. You don't watch it?

No. Why? I'm not supporting Ryan Seacrest. No, I don't need more Ryan Seacrest. You could have propelled some poor somebody to start them with this. Instead, you'd give it again to Ryan Seacrest. Give media jobs to other people, please. Unreal.

Some of us would like to also make a lot of money in media, except Ryan Seacrest and Bobby Bones and... Or just whoever else. Some. Some. Just a little. Now, again, I'm always ashamed that I can't find Idaho on a map, but I sing this in my head pretty much once a day.

Udaho. Here to solve the puzzle? Is that their team song? No, that was a promo that ran in 1993 and has never left my brain. You will hear me. One of my vocal stims is I will just sing, I'm a wheel watcher. I don't know why. You're a wheel watcher.

It's never left my brain from 40 years ago. A watcht wheel never wheels. Watcher. That's America's game. So we had our biggest winner of all time last night on Wheel of Fortune. Really? No, I'm not going to judge somebody based on where they come. come from.

I will. But. Where are they from? Canada. From Stamford, Connecticut, where the medium house is about $700,000. I live in Stamford, Connecticut. Yeah.

It's weird because I know. It's good-ish, pal. Like, again, let other people have media jobs. Also, let some poor people win some money. No. Maybe she is. Maybe I don't know her story. Maybe she works.

and lives in the part of Stanford that could need this money. It was the biggest winner of all time. $1,035,155. On Wheel of Fortune? I'll play the clip right now, dude. I don't even think they can do this. She brought her boss with her, Kujo says. Weird.

What's going on, dude? Okay. What's going on? All right, here it is. The clip from last night. The fifth million dollar winner. Christina, who's won a bunch tonight already, including a trip to Tokyo.

And your boss is here? She is. She was afraid to come down because I think she was afraid to get the question, can I have time off? Is that why? Exactly. But it's going to be coming, so. What happens if you win a million dollars?

That. I may be putting in my two weeks, but we won't tell her that yet. Hell yeah. Okay, well, put it in there right there. Hell yeah. We've replaced the $100,000 envelope with the million-dollar retirement envelope. Christina, give the wheel a good spin and good luck.

Here we go. It is the ampersand. I'm the ampersand. I'll grab it. Come on down here. The ampersand. And you chose living things. We will give you the R-S-T-L-N in the evening.

Van is still looking great. Damn right. She should be making triple what seed crest is. So take a look at that. And I need from you three more consonants and one vowel. Okay. All. M.

Hammer. Hammer. And the vowel? A. Okay, Vanna. What can you? Mixed things. Do you know the answer already?

I don't. You want to try to guess it before she does? Yeah. All right, I'm going to pause it right here. Okay. There it is. There it is. The clue is living things.

Wait for it to get up here. Hold on. Blank. Just wait for the delay. A.C. Blank. Let me cover of the chat here because I know you guys are. The chat might know it.

All right. Something of. Is it Jack of? cooties. No. Wow. Naggers. No. It's a living thing. Let's see. A living thing. Facts of life. Facts.

It's going to be not an animal. It's going to be something. Just I don't know. Oh, I think Jojo's got it. Joe Joe says pack of coyotes. There's no. Am I seen it? Is there an ass behind our screen? Yes. Yes. Okay. Pack of coyotes. Sorry. Well, I would have loved to have known that. If I had all the information, I would have made a reasonable guess. Living things. Glad to see wheels got woke.

You'll have 10 seconds to try and solve it. Christina's staring at me. Good luck. I thought. Pack of coyotes. Yeah! All right, we're going to open the envelope. Jackal.

Is it a jackal? The jackal. Million dollars! You're going to miss you at work. You just won one million. I mean, I can be happy for people. I went out of a million, but that's pretty cool. I want everybody to win somebody.

It just sucks that they'll probably tax the bejesus out of her. So you're half of that, yeah. And if she has, like, her boss there, clearly she's not sitting in the Vince McMahon, Stanford, Connecticut home. She's still got a job, so. That's cool, man. Awesome. No. Congrats to Christina.

Although, it's just not. It's not the same. Although Pat Sajax sucks, so it's not like he was great at this. That's what I mean. But his brain is jello now. I love Pat Sajax. When he used to do like the Lebitard show and stuff, he was he good on that? He was hilarious, man.

I never saw my bad. He didn't give a damn. It was great. That big fun pompadour hair piece he wears. And I'm not trying to be a bummer and then I'll throw on the top of the hour. But a million dollars after taxes $500,000, that ain't enough to quit your job. No, you can't quit your job. You can't quit your job or $500,000.

You just now can live a much more comfortable life where, you can kind of. And it's nice to have that F you. money in the bank. To save even. If your boss is annoying, you're like, all right, well, I'm not going to die if I leave this job. Yeah, I can go find another job. Right. You know.

Congratulations, Krantana. Cannot wait to see y'all Saturday night at Frightmare Farms, as we will be somewhere. You won't know where. You won't even know. You'll figure it out pretty quick after you hear a tiny fellow fall out of a tree and a high-pitched annoying the Swiga County voice scream at you. But then. But then you'll probably know.

We never know. But we will be at Frightmare Farms this Saturday. night, probably for the whole thing. Go to Frightmarefarms, n.com. It always sells out the night that we are there. I'm going to take credit for that, even though it definitely isn't. Frightmare Farms is going to sell out. Yes, it is.

Regardless, because it's the dopest. It doesn't have to do with the first, you know, weekend in October, and it's going to be wicked night. It has nothing to do with the perfect weather and the perfect date and everybody's in the mood. It's all because of us. Yeah. Thank you.

Duh. Frightmarefarms, n.com, to get your tickets, but it will sell. out. So if you want to come get scurred by these two silly hams, you can, Saturday night. But don't run! You don't run! You're not part of the turbo team. The news is having a week. Not our local news, but I told you a few days ago about the suspect out in Albany, who just came to the news station to admit he had killed his parents. As you do. Well, around the same time, this was like three or four days ago, another news crew was out,

you know how they do their silly little like live hits? Here I am standing in front of a pile of dirt. For some reason, I don't know why the news needs to do that. I guess it gives layers. Here's a building in the dark. That's why you'll never be a successful news reporter. You don't have a creative mind. That's what I tried to tell you.

Well, this was a guy out doing one of his hits. All right. And I'm going to play the clip. He explains it here. This is in Idaho Springs. He calls the sheriff to get, get an update on this suspect they're looking for. If anybody knows what this suspect was sought after,

it's nowhere in this article. Like, they haven't released the charges yet. So I don't know what they were looking for this guy for? Oh, I was going to say, let's try to guess. But they were looking for a guy. Okay. They needed, the reporter needed the information, so he calls the police. He's like, hey, I'm about to do a live hit.

Yeah. Could you tell me what the description of the guy is? They're like, yeah, he's like 5'10. He's wearing a hoodie. He's a black male. Ah, well, then, it doesn't matter then. The reporter Going on the news

Sees that walking behind him On the news Is the suspect Okay Like the suspect just walked into camera They go back They go back to the scene of the crime And I guess the guy's in the area

The news reporter yells out Yo, I'll let him explain it All right This is how they caught the guy I found more information I found out that this was a guy who was five foot 10, six feet tall, thin, built wearing tactical gear. It was also a black man. And so when I got all that information, I wanted to make sure that I gave it to our viewers.

Well, after the 655 hit, that's what I turned around, and LD was kind of pointing out, hey, there's somebody who looks like exactly what you were saying, and that's where you get the, you know, the yo and everything for me. And that's it kind of a sense of more of disbelief of that, wait a minute, this is the guy who I'm literally just talking about and just described on live TV is right now crossing the street. And so that's why I said,

hey, put your camera on him. We don't know what it's going to be, but if nothing else, we make sure that we have that footage and it turned out that that was the individual as well. So we called police, and about 10 minutes later, Clear Creek County Sheriff,

they said, yeah, that was the guy that we were looking for and have been looking for for at least a month now, guys. Wow. Because the video that you saw earlier. 10 minutes? That was actually video

that was from. Monday. So that was all interesting. Now, I'll be searching for the... Not a great response time when you literally have the suspect. Colorado. I'm sure they're... Hey, the suspect you're looking for? He's literally right here. Cool. See in 10. See in 10 minutes.

I'm going to give him a little head start. Yeah, let him walk around for a while. 26-year-old Richard Applequist. That's a great name. Dick Applequist was wearing a hood. Oh, Dickie Applequith. Didn't seem bothered by the camera news cameras on him. They called 911. Police showed up 10 minutes later. He's still being

question, blah, blah, blah. They said burglary in the chat. I don't know what he wanted. Gotcha. Yeah. News. You literally can't steal. You literally can't steal stuff. News is just out there. Catching criminals now. Thanks, News. Thank you. Thank you. We have another special guests from the Eastman School of Music on the line.

Well, that's we got Mark. Good morning. Mark. Good morning. How are you? I am fantastic, Mark. We're going to talk about the soundtracks music festival here in a second. But I got to tell people some of your credits. because you're like a big deal, Mark. I don't know if you know that. Thank you very much. This show is so beneath you right now.

Mark has composed music for MGMs, the Pebble and the Penguin, and all dogs go to heaven, too, as well as Doug's first movie that I love. Okay. You've done video game scores for Toy Story 3, Cars Mania, Disney Princesses 1 and 2. Yo! I could go on and on if you want to look up his resume. It's on the Eastman website. How did you get into that word?

old Mark? Boy, by sheer perseverance, a little bit of luck, being in the right place at the right time, that's pretty much it. It's a very competitive business. I was thrilled to be working in it. It's really fun now that things like TikTok exist, because I don't know if you've ever seen these, but they like to take movie scenes and put the wrong music to them, and it totally changes the vibe.

I'm fascinated by movie scores and what they add to a film, because you can watch it. watch a scene, and if it doesn't have the right music, it totally changes the mood, right? Isn't it amazing how your ears have more impact on you than your eyes? Yeah. I've always marvel at that. I've done the same thing where I've gone into school and done this for, you know, six-year-olds, and, you know, you'll play something with no music, right? And when you're talking cartoons with kids, I mean, you were on their level, right? I mean, you can talk about Beethoven and Brahms and Bob, but to a six-year-old, you bring in a

cartoon and then you take the music out of it and they completely react to it. They know something is missing and then you put the wrong kind of music and it's amazing to me how at the age of six they already know what music is supposed to be saying to them and they react to it. It's just really amazing. I love it. So that's what the soundtrack's film music festival is here to celebrate, right? It's music being used in films, I guess. Tell me about the event. Well, we've got a lot of wonderful guests that are going to come and talk, major composers, Oscar-winning composers, Grammy Award-winning artists, people behind the scenes.

We're going to peel back the curtain and show people how the sausage is made. You're probably going to hear from composers that you've been listening to for many, many years who are real leaders in the field, and they're coming here to Rochester to share their experiences and their talents with us at soundtracks. We're just so excited about it. Yeah, if you're familiar with House of Cards and Blackfish, five-time Emmy Award-winning composer Jeff Beale will be there as long as a bunch of other. So are we going to be watching scenes with the music? Are we going to be kind of like dissecting it, like you said? Well, it's going to be a little of everything. We're going to talk that we're

going to have, you know, John Crigliano, a Pulitzer Prize winner, Oscar winning composer talking about his other movies besides we're going to be performing the red violin. which is his Oscar-running score. We're going to be performing that live to picture with a full symphony orchestra. We're going to be also then he's going to be talking about his other scores. I don't know if you've known a wonderful movie called Altered States, which was a really successful sci-fi thriller movie from the 80s that he did. This is going to be a great opportunity, a rare opportunity to hear him talk.

Carter Burwell, who is the go-to composer for the Cohen Brothers movie, He's done every movie they've ever done. Oh, I love it. You know, Fargo, the Big Lobowski, the Hudsonker Proxies, you know, these incredible movies. We're going to have Conrad Pope, who is the orchestrator for John Williams. He's going to be talking about his work with John and composers like Alexander Despras, which we are doing Alexander's score to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2. We're doing that live to picture as well, to Conrad.

It's going to be talking about his experiences of working with that composer. We've got video game composers. We've got talks on AI in music and immersive audio and music. Just an incredible menu of guests and experts talking about what they do. We're talking to Mark Waters from the Eastman School of Music. We're talking about the upcoming Soundtracks Film Music Festival. Can I just ask you that you brought up the Cohen Brothers, and I'm a super huge

Coen Brothers movie nerd. Yes. The music specifically to Coen Brothers films, they're not just scores. They find a period in time and they kind of give you a snapshot of that music, right?

Like obviously you can think about Oh, Brother Marath, that was their big one. You know, all that kind of Americana sound that came out of that. But even in Raising Arizona or no country for old men, they kind of take a snapshot like the man who wasn't there.

All those movies kind of take. kind of take a snapshot of an era, right? Oh, they do. I mean, music, the function of music is to not only, you know, help you relate to the story and the characters, but if necessary, puts you in a specific place,

a specific time, you know, compare, you know, the music to, well, like you said, the man who wasn't there, or Fargo. I mean, the music in Fargo just sounds cold. Yeah. Yes.

It just sounds cold. I don't know what it is. is about it. But when you listen to it and it brings back the images from the movie, it makes you feel cold. And then compare that to a movie like Star Wars, which, you know, just sounds epic and big and bold with big themes and that you go out at the theater humming.

You know, what Carter Burwell does for the Coen Brothers is completely different. It's, you know, I'm guessing that Carter, the best compliment you could tell the Carter Burwell is, well, I didn't even know there was music in there. That would be what he would want to hear because the music in the Korn Brothers movies, for the most part. I mean, there's some exceptions to it, but in many cases, it's very subtle. It gets under your skin. You don't even really know it's working, but if you took it out, you would really notice it. Yeah, Miller's Crossing is a great

example of that. Plus, and it doesn't necessarily need to make the scene, because in the Big Lobowski, the music they use and the Big Lobowski feels like music the dude would be listening to, you know? Oh, yeah, yeah, completely. I mean, the music for that movie is a lot of songs, brilliantly chosen songs that are so well-placed. That's a great art onto itself. It's going to be an amazing event. I can't wait for this. It's the Soundtracks, the premier North American film music festival,

October 16th, 17th, and 18th. Now, how do people get tickets to this market? Just is it all at the Eastman website? Just do a Google search for soundtracks, and that's Soundtracks with an X at the end. And the website will come up, everything you need to know, the dates, the times, who we're going to have, how to get tickets. And what's cool about this, I have to say, all the panels, all the discussions are free.

Wow. The everything we're charging for are the concerts. So come and spend a day or two and take in all the events for free during the day and then attend the concerts at night. Mark, it's been a real pleasure talking to you. I hope you have a great event, man. Thank you for making time. Thank you very much, guys. See you later.

Have a good one, Mark Waters from the Eastman School of Music. That's going to be cool. Very neat. John Williams music, Interstellar music, the whole list of the things I got going on over the Eastman School of music

and it's right here in our backyard. How lucky are we, man? How lucky? Very cool. Seven o'clock on our Twitch channel. Yeah, but when is it in what time? Oh my gosh. Seven?

God. TM. Even like where? On TV? I got my TV on C and My Central. I don't see it. When is it on? We can drop the M, right?

I saw somebody post that on social media. We don't need to say, A.m. We can just say A or P. 7p. Right? This sounds weird. 7A.

I don't know if I'd be able to. I like, now that I say it as a word. I like I'm am and p. Now that I say it. 7.8. 7.A. It's going to mess me up. I'm not going to be able to remember.

Tived out, it's fine. But now that I say it, I don't like it. You'll me get that 6p. Do you. Get that 6P. do. 6 or 7. 7 p.m. tonight I will be live on our Twitch channel.

Of course, sipping on. Chili Dog. Whiskey Wednesday. today tonight presented by Liquor Wine and Moonshine over on State Fair Boulevard. Go see Christina and the crew over there. Also go see our friends at East Coast Emeralds. They will present that 720 smoke break. East Coast Emeralds right behind the daily diner.

Tons of Halloween tobacco pipes. You're looking for Halloween stuff. Oh, I like it. There's just, they have a ton. We did it, America. We're the biggest suckers. I was going to say, I'm not going to say. I'm not going to.

clapping yet. I want to know more information, please. A new poll found that Americans are tagged, hold on line. Americans are targeted by scammers more than anyone else in the world. We get scammed. I can think of one more than anybody. One big scam, a lot of people for our phone for. Uh-huh. An average person in the U.S. deals with 25 scam messages a week.

Wow. And I guess if you break down like your emails and weird text. Yep. Yep. But what, no, not, these aren't scams. But they also know. The text I get, but the emails, absolutely. Hmm.

And, um, the, the ladies that are popping in every dude's DMs, those fake, whatever the. What are the, what are, no. What are not? The ones that you get are. Yeah. Thank you. No, those are the real ones. I didn't say you.

I'm a 44 year old mid-market radio morning host in the year 2025. Yeah. No. Hot chicks are very into me. No, I meant like the ones I would get where, let's see. Oh, well, this isn't even a, oh, here's an actual one. Let me check. Because hold on.

This person has given me all of his info because the doctor told him he only has one month left to live. And that was September 23rd. He's decided to spend this time traveling alone quietly saying goodbye. No children will only regret is he couldn't spend his life with me. I was his first love. I've always been in his heart. So here are all of his passwords and balances to his stuff. if I want to log in there.

Thank you, yes. On the flip side, there are, yep, yep, this. Oh, she is single and looking for fun. She's always been too shy to admit it until now. Exactly, dude. This is what I'm saying. This is what she's always wanted to do. So if I could just, you know.

You got to, you guys got to understand. We're major celebrities. So it's not shocking when women thirst over us. They seek us. They want our bodies. they want to be in relationships. This girl. Oh, what do you got?

What do you got? My best friend has a crush on you. Oh, yeah. She's wanted me to send you this video. Watch it here. Of course she did. I get it. Honey, I'm married.

I'm sorry. Dude, absolutely. But I get it. Chicks are so young. Yep. Definitely not AI. Definitely Facebook and Instagram models. No.

Are so horny for bald, 44-year-old, disgusting morning radio. hosts. Oh, oh. Mm-hmm. Well, you got another one right now? This person...

Oh, my goodness. Uh-oh. Touches themselves. They do? Because you made them too warning. While looking at a picture of my profile. See?

So I don't know why they say... While looking at my profile, bro. Exactly. Handbone. Dude. Oh, this, yo. Right? So why would we...

How, this person knows me, I think. Hey, baby. Well, yeah, that's a personal friend then. I can't believe how hot you are just by profile picks. Exactly. Gotta be better in person. Let's connect. So I feel bad for these idiots that get scammed.

I don't get scammed. No, not at all. Anyways. I'll be back. I just got to send this lady my PayPal real quick because she can't. She needs, hold on. Yeah. I mean, I need to pay for my cloud storage to send you these sexy videos.

Dude, that's a good one. Then what happens is, they are free to then send you super personal and real news. Now, if I may be honest about this study, you got to also remember a few things about this country. Clearly, we're not the smartest. But also, we're very big, so we're bigger than most other countries. Huge.

Bigger than another country? We're just a really big country with a lot of people in it. So that's going to skew some numbers. Plus, we have more stupid wealth than, like, I know we all are broke, but like compared to other parts of the world, they're not going to call some random house in Kenya and try to get $100. We're suckers with money. Is there somewhere here where there's like old people calling over to like India?

No. And like doing the reverse scam. I mean, maybe there's scam baiters and there's people that catch scammers. No, those are. I love watching those videos. But I don't know who's scam in the other countries. But that'd be funny if they're, you know, because I mean, because we've talked about that here all the time where how many people I stopped at the chopper

trying to send this guy in Germany or Africa or Russia because their grandson was kidnapped. I know. They need $3,000. Mm-hmm. Just wild. Oh, nuts. My Maccathy antivirus just auto-renewed for five. $500 if I want to cancel, call this.

That's, you probably show. I probably show me. I'd probably show me. Let me call them. Just real quick. They're just going to charge me a small cancellation fee and then over it. If you send them your bank info, they handle it. That's so easy. It's easier to do that.

I just send them my routing number. Yes. They take care of everything. New poll found Americans are the number one target for scammers. The average person is about 25 scam calls, emails, messages. A week. It's about three or four per day. Calls I don't really get so much anymore.

My phone blocks them automatically. That's, yeah, a lot of mine. It just says spam calling it knows. Although, man, these bitch asses somehow get those local numbers. Yeah, they do it. Oh, man. I just happened to be in the phone store and there was an elderly couple in there getting very mad. And I had to help.

I had to do tech support. I don't know why the person didn't know this. but they came in and they're like my phone is ringing all day long from numbers I don't know and it's like they're older so they're like it's startling we don't know who it is and like the guys like yeah those are just spam callers and they're like well stop it

and the guy's like I can't you're on a list somewhere somebody so I showed them what I will tell you I don't know this is on Android phones but on Apple phones you can turn off calls from unknown numbers so if they're not in your content If it ain't your grandson or your daughter, it won't ring.

It'll just go right to voicemail. I don't know if that's an Android thing. I'm sure it is. Android usually a couple of years ahead of Apple on things. Call screen. Mm-hmm. Bubba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Probably there's 8,000 different things in here.

Average Americans get targeted twice as much as everyone else. Brits are in second place. Americans also have the most emails sitting in their spam folder right now. Yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know about that. Anyone can fall for a scam if they're not careful. 23% of people polled said they already have. You can.

Just be careful out there. You might not even notice. My just has, you can turn on, caller, spam identification. Yeah. Just ignore it. Lee Baldwin's here. Hi, Lee. Oh, there we go.

Now we turn you on. Yeah, we're loud. We're very loud. That's like the popular opinion of everybody that when we leave and come back, like it was really quiet. Yeah, well, we're on vacation. It's really quiet here. As I noticed that myself.

Dollar Investment Club. You sign up, you find that $100. I'm telling you, get in the game. Stop letting these scumbag billionaires play the game. Right. You play the game too. And it's as simple as that. Lee takes care of the rest.

What's going on, Lee? Everyone drove to work today. Sun shines out. Your camera's on. We're working, right? Yeah. But the government shut down. It is shut down.

It is shut down. It's shut down. What does that mean for the markets? Well, I mean, I think that the Wall Street typically kind of yawns at that because they threaten it, threatening it. And the last one we had was 2018. We got through that.

That was like 31 days or something, I think. 35, 31, yes, 30-some-odd days. So right now, really no effect. But there's a big labor report number that comes out this Friday. Okay. So when I read this this morning, that report's not going to be available. So it's going to kind of freak, you know, people that are watching and see what the Fed are going to lower rates or not.

this important input is not going to be available. The department's down to like one guy now. Yeah, they just do the whole state. They've, like, fired everybody, and then Trump doesn't like the labor number, so like Lee's saying they're just not going to release them. He wants to flub them, right? What's his point? He wants to see him not, can he wants to see him quarterly, or what's the other way around?

He wants to see them monthly or something. I forget that that was the change. The change, he wanted to have companies report not quarterly, but maybe twice a year. Okay, got you. So to save money and to kind of, and I kind of disagree with that. I mean, maybe every, you know, three times here, every four months instead of three, that would be good. But these are just government numbers like about inflation or jobs. And so the Fed, you know, whether they're going to lower rates or not.

So that's like the one concern out there is that this is a pretty big number on Friday, but the one guy there, he's just answering calls and, you know, what's he doing? And are there private organizations that track this stuff? Yes, there is. So now you'll have to depend on like ADP as a payroll company. So their numbers may become more important. And then the really geeky guys can get into other informational pieces and try to, you know. Right.

Try to game it, really, you know. So we'll see what happens. But we just finished one of the best quarters since, I think it's the best quarter since 2020. That's good. Yeah, so the market's at highs. I'm knocking on wood. So very solid year so far. again, if the economy's doing well and we're all at it doing what we do, you know,

whatever they try to do in politics to mess things up, whether it's crazy Trump's on, you know, or tariffs on, tariffs off, or shutting the government down, you know, the economies can't even do what it's going to do. So that gives you some hope, you know, so. I could use a little hope. I know. And I'm okay with the government shut down for a while, too. It's okay with me, but.

All right. Swinginin says, Lee, I need to talk to you, want to increase my weekly payment. How do we do that? I love that. Yeah, just give me a call or send me an email, Lee at Lee Balwin.com, and we will take care of that. That's always my hack.

I try to tell you guys, if you're lucky enough to get a raise, if you're lucky enough to come into some money, just pretend you didn't. Put it away. Just keep living the best you can, get your bills paid, and then Lee takes care of the rest. You'll be happy down the road. Yes, and yes.

And the people have been great about that at the club. So they're good. We're both, Cody and I both love the club. We're both in the club and we can't encourage you guys enough to get in the game. No, I can't. Yeah, that's, I like that. Don't let all the billionaires have the fun. We can have some fun too.

Let's try to have a little fun ourselves. All right, thank you so much. We'll see you next week. Dollar Investment Club.com. Saturday night, we will be at Frightmare Farms, N.Wraternity.com. number tickets and information. Cody, let's roll. Oh, my God. Like a little ball of dough.

Like a little pizza ball, like a little garlic night. Oh, wow, whoa, wow, wow. We're going to roll on the top of the hour. You're going to get some 90s and 9 on the radio side. Gaming stream on Twitch. We're going to do the S-U game. We like to play that game this week. That would be an interesting challenge for the Q's this weekend, man.

You said SMU used to be good or they're not? They've been good in the past. They're not as good this year, but that's, That's still... Cues need a bounce back game. Yeah, don't matter. They need a bounce back game after that dude loss. Yup.

So I will be SMU. Cody will be Syracuse. We will be gaming on Twitch. Dot TV slash K-Rock. C-N-Y. You want to jump in there. I do. Radio World, the 90s at 9 kicks off

with Jim Blossoms. It's K-Rock.
