At 56th street and Thomas Road. Still streaming Homburg's morning sickness online@98kupd.com There you go. A little Foo asking for a friend that's coming out. You can stream it right now and oh, it's a perfect time for it because it's time for the hot releases and that's one. So I don't need to play it. Yeah, we don't need to do it. That's one of your hot releases right there. It's the Foo and actually one of my more favorable likes of a Foo Fighter song. In the last couple albums since Wasting Light I think they've had like three or four good songs. Prior to that, seemed like every album was just another 10 song banger. Haven't had one of those in a while. Hopefully the new one is awesome. I'm hoping that I'm reading this right and the album is named available to stream. Oh but I don't know if that's accurate or not. We'll see. It is time now. Oh by the way, the 9 o' clock word for another 12 minutes is big shot. Big shot. Put it in there and take your chances. For another thousand.
B
Someone has a real quick question.
A
Oh, boy, here we go.
B
John, can you turn off Brady's headphones, please? Okay, real quick question. Will there be hoes in John's Heaven? And if so, how do I follow that plan instead of, do you like hoes?
A
Oh, I. Yeah, do you like hoes?
B
That's a qualifier, right?
A
I'm basically a travel agent. My heaven, as you come in and we talk about the excursions you liked, and we're going to put those in your plan. Fantasy island it is.
B
I'm not big on groups, so you get a group.
A
So it's individual.
B
Yes.
A
Okay, we're going to take that. You made it to heaven, so you get to call it. So if you'd like to build a hoe island, I can send you to Hoe Island. Would you like an infinite amount of sperm tattoo?
B
Be there.
A
Yeah. You have an infinite amount of sperm, and you don't have any refractory period between shots. Oh. Oh, yeah. You just feed and feed and feed. Now, I can't make this last forever, but it's always available to you. It's just. It has an ending. You come home and you're like, what a great day in heaven. What do we do tomorrow?
B
How about this phrase? God, I hope I don't get bored of that.
A
That's very true. Then you got to amp it up. Hey, I've been here for a couple hundred years, and the whole island's getting a little stale. Can I get a refresh? Girl with three cans. Oh, maybe one growing off her knee. We can do that.
B
Years ago, I used to listen to this show in Phoenix, and they had all these videos that I only had to imagine.
A
I want a rose bud. I want. Maybe it's awesome. That's not heaven. Your own. No, no, it is heaven because you come back and you look at the guy. That was weird. And then you just laugh and everything's still okay. Scratch that one off the itinerary for Friday or, oh, my God, the rosebud's awesome.
B
But that's heaven because you can.
A
Yep. It doesn't matter. John's Heaven is awesome. I had a guy email and say, did you just invent a religion? Because I'm in. I got a good heaven cell. And it's got good music, too. I'll promise you that. Whatever you like. You can write your own hits. That's what AI is. I think AI might be a little bit of Heaven.

B
All right, first up, I have. Let me get on the right page here. A lot of the new series are coming out for. I guess, do we even call it regular TV anymore? Network tv? Is that it? Network.
A
Oh, are they starting their new seasons?
B
New seasons are starting up also on. But this one's on hbo. Max. I love la. This has been a long tied along untitled Rachel Sennett project, which I didn't know who that was either.
A
Full for the junior manager. Yep.
B
It stars her as a 20 something working at a Los Angeles talent management company who involves herself in the career of her former codependent best friend and newly minted social media star Tallulah. After she shows up at Maya's home unannounced.
A
You're here. And my house crazy. Everyone on the show is too average looking for me to like.
B
Very average for LA especially. They're good. Heaven.
A
They were good. That is not the heaven I would create. That's purgatory, where everybody's almost effable.
B
All right, well, we've been shown this gal for a long time. For the past 20 years, Kim Kardashian stars in a new Ryan Murphy legal drama called All's Fair.
A
As much as I'd love to continue.
B
To exchange Pleasant, the latest is a legal drama about a group of female divorce lawyers who form their own firm in a field dominated by men. Naturally, their business lives intertwine with their personal lives because this is Ryan Murphy and it's television.
A
Yeah.
B
This powerhouse cast includes Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Glenn Close, and Sarah Paulson.
A
I like Niecy Nash. She was great. Reno911 and all. I hear Kim Kardashian is an excellent actress. Yeah. Was that Caitlin or was that Brooke Shields? Oh, my God, we can't tell. I trusted him. Oh, hey, Jessie Spano from Saved by the Bells in this Happened to Me. Nomi from Showgirls. Yeah, Nomi. Malone, she's not getting. Okay, men, they ought. All right, well, all's fair. That's all fair.
B
That's. And that debuts tonight.
A
Actually, it didn't look so much like girl power as it did potentially. Girl cattiness brewing. There's a lot of high powered women in a room. Yep. If they don't write. And Ryan Murphy wrote it, so he's gonna make him fight. I like that.
B
On rich men in the corner.
A
Oh, they're gonna. Yeah, they're gonna be. At first you're gonna hate. It's gonna be man hating rich men and then the ladies are going to get real catty.
B
That might be good on Peacock and NBC is All Her Fault, starring Dakota Fanning. Say less. Okay, fine. Then we can say a little more. All Her Fault, based on an Andrea Mara novel of the same name, is a Chicago set thriller series about a mother who arrives to pick up her young son from his first playdate, only to be met at the door by a woman she doesn't recognize the stranger doesn't have her son and claims to have never heard of him. It's not a misunderstanding.
A
Wait, she went a house that she dropped the kid off at and there were all new people there when she came back. I'm so sorry. It's Siobhan from Succession.
B
Yeah, it's hard to see her. Please, we beg you, come forward. Did you contact a publishing house?
A
Your current debt be offset by what you might say? She looks so much like Axl Rose at her.
B
Yeah, she does.
A
I can't see anybody but Axl Rose when I look at her.
B
All right.
A
The prettiest Axl Rose could ever be. But it's Axl Rose first.
B
And then on Netflix is Death by Lightning. Following last year's Lincoln assassination drama called Manhunt on Apple tv, Netflix is launching its own limited series about a presidential assassination. In Death by Lightning, the president at the center of the action is James A. Garfield, played by Michael Shannon.
A
This is Garfield's assassination, whose time in.
B
Office was cut short when he was shot by James J. Guiteux.
A
Guiteux. And he was in a train stat in Maryland, right?
B
I think so. This cast also includes Nick Offerman as Garfield's vice president and successor, Chester Arthur, Betty Gilpin as Garfield's wife, Bradley Whitford as his secretary of state, and Shea Wiggum as a senator who clashed with him.
A
It's my favorite American assassination no one talks about because Garfield got shot.
B
They're saying, if anything, the facial hair alone in this show is going to Be magnificent.
A
Garfield got shot and turned and goes, watch this. And drops. And the reason he died wasn't from the bullet. It's because all those dirty people, before they knew about germs, were digging around to get it out. And he got sepsis and died nine months later. An opportunist, Mr. President, and a pest. Oh, jeez. I want to watch that. That looks cool. Garfield's assassination is a part of American history no one talks about. And it's phenomenal story.
B
And then this one's for you, John. Your boy Vince Gilligan is back on Apple TV with Pluribus, starring Ray Seahorn.
A
Finally.
B
This one, it says, is for the Kim Wexler fans, which should be all of you.
A
Yeah. Better Call Saul.
B
She stars in Pluribus, a genre bending new series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, who gets back to his sci fi roots. Gilligan, in which the most miserable person on earth must save the world from happiness. Seehorn plays Carol, a miserable person in question. Better Call Saul reunion is enough to draw people in on its own, but it doesn't also hurt that Gilligan, like I said, is getting back to his sci fi.
A
This has been going on for a couple years. I've been trying to get this out. How do I reverse all this? Everything Vince Gilligan touches should be great. This Better Call Saul is so amazing. And Breaking Bad was so amazing, I've been waiting for him to come out with something new. And that's out now.
B
Debuts Friday.
A
Oh, man. All right.
B
Also on Friday. This is on Netflix's Frankenstein. Visionary director Guillermo Ver del Toro has offered his take on many stories, including Pinocchio, Hellboy, horny amphibious men. And he now returns to Netflix to retail. Mary Shelley's horror classic about a scientist who makes a monster.
A
Maybe good.
B
It's like, how many times visually stunning.
A
What can they do? New pieces. Oh, oh, they're just putting an eyeball in. That one's kind of gory. Cool.
B
All right. On Netflix also is a documentary called In Waves and War. This involves Navy seals who have seen combat duty going on a retreat to Mexico to heal themselves.
A
Jeez, I don't know if I want to watch those tough guys feeling terrible. You're like, take care of this. This is my problems here.
B
It's this and this.
A
The toad, the effects of it.
B
Step in.
A
I can't watch. I struggle with that. I have two friends who this is gonna make me call one of them today who went through hell and war and the stuff they go through while they're back Here is. And with Veterans Day right around the corner, it's immeasurable. We sit and complain about our daily lives and these guys have ghosts floating around them that you can't imagine.
B
All right, let's lighten the mood a little bit with History Channel's the Toys that Built America, a new four part.
A
Series to be adventurous and to have fun. It was the inventors of the greatest. Oh, it's gonna reenact. They were visionaries. Milton Bradley and stuff no one else saw.
B
They dreamed big. Kids are not allowed to bring toys to school unless they fit inside a matchbox.
A
A light bulb goes off in Jack's head so you could dream bigger. That's pretty good imagination.
B
That's on.
A
You know what's crazy about what he just said? Kids weren't allowed to bring toys to school unless they fit in a matchbox. But they were allowed to bring matches, right? They had to disguise what they put in the matchbox.
B
Never know when you're gonna need to build a fire, John.
A
The first week. What do you mean? Then you could bring the matchbox, but you had to get rid of all the matches. Well, then again, that's. That's the point was to have the Matchbox car in the Matchbox. But you were that. Nobody questioned your match. Took them a week after a couple of fires. Yeah, but they didn't question the matchbox. That's why you hid your toys in it.
B
Crazy ahead of big matchboxes, too.
A
Yeah, the long fire stick ones. Yeah, you get some good sized.
B
And the tubular ones with the long ones you can reach into the fire.
A
It's got like a wagon full of matches.
B
Ahead of its season two debut, Crutch, Season one is now available on Paramount. Starring our boy, Tracy Moore.
A
Tracy, my story I'm gonna tell it. Is this about him getting hit?
B
Francois Cod, he's an artist, I believe. Everybody calls me Crutch.
A
Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch. Crutch.
B
I live in Harlem.
A
I've got two grown up kids and two beautiful grandkids. What have you done to my children? I'm making them New York talk. Who hurt you? Is this on regular tv?
B

A
Kupd. Hey, it's Brett Vesely and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that? Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one.
B
Tell him not to put himself at.
A
Risk and come into M and P Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's.

B
He used the weekend before.

Kind of apocalyptic get to it make you stay even though you've been waiting the changes I said I'd make for.
A
Too long One last thing before you.
B
Go I'll never change for you, you.
A
Does this have a hook?
B
Pretty pricey video they put out.
A
There we go. Yeah. The video's insanely visual. All right. That's just. That has no hook. Godfathers of hardcore. Agnostic Front. This is a way of war. I feel like it should. Like there should be action figures at the end by all four.
B
Sound like one of those evil Knievel ads from the 70s. They jump.
A
Jump.
B
GI Joe.
A
Yeah. Your new F19 series from the GI Joe people that brought you all the F17.

A
That's why I'm down here on my knees yes, it's so hard to make up when you never tell me so I don't want you to leave me behind. So please tell me which way to go, Baby, should I spit on swallow? Please let me know something beautiful. This would have won this planet your pearly gates Heaven. Yes. This also sounds like it should have been an Armageddon. Oh, yeah. There you go.
B
Diane Warren.
A
Oh, Penny Tration has a hit on her hands. You know I won't choke. Oh, this is a. What a glorious. Five years ago, we didn't have this. No. Not even like, a whisper of it. And here we are. And you can't tell. And my brain still struggles to wrap around the idea that none of that was a person. So weird. Let's get into some of the covers.
B
Still kind of makes me a little upset, that song.
A
Why she has to ask. No, I mean. Well, you know what, though? Some days you feel like a nut, some days you don't.
B
So not heaven for you. This is you off.
A
Here's a blind done 60s soul style from Corn. Every one of these is cool. It called Tarantino immediate. Oh, yeah. There's a place inside my mind. A place I like to hide. You don't know the chance. What if I should die? A place inside my brain. I know that kind of pain. You don't know the chance. Love if they gave him an accent. Yeah. I'm so blind, blind, blind. Get out of here with this. God damn it. That's awesome. How about sound, Garden Spoon man? As a soul cover? Oh, no. We gotta start a whole. We gotta be first on the block with a radio station of justice. Feel the rhythm with your head. Oh, man. I'm gonna start jerking off right now.
B
We gotta talk to Larry and fire up our HD. HD2 signal. HD3. One of emoji, whatever it is.
A
Here he comes. You don't have to pay any. Larry, Would we have to pay ASCAP BMI to have a second station of just this stuff? I don't. I don't know. You have to do anything illegal on the phone? Well, because. No, because the songwriting, the lyrics are still copyrighted. There you go. Yeah.
B
Well, then these guys have to pay.
A
No, because they're not making any money off. Nobody's making any money. We would do it and sell advertising. So we would benefit from people basically stealing. But they're not putting it out there.
B
To try to make money. But who should I spit or swallow? We could throw out there all day long.
A
Yeah. She's not real. Yeah. I mean, if you get it. If you get this and you put it on your page and it's your invention, and then you're getting advertising from it. Yeah. You're gonna get sued. LeJean from 7 Dust actually reposted something of someone doing an AI version of one of his songs the other day and said, I actually want to see this happen. Yeah. I want to see this go down. Oh, no. Here's Iron Maiden, the Trooper funk style. Wow. Yeah, it's. There's a better world over there in AI. It's just a better world. All right. And that brings us to N word or F Word? God. I got one more.
