Morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not.
D
He's not evil. He's just a bit rude.

The word for 9:00am is odds o dds and throw that in there for the 9:00 clock square and get yourself a chance to take it in the app and win a thousand dollars from your friends at 98 KPD. Going back and forth with a guy named J.R. he's kind of an acerbic butthole. Maybe that's why I like him. But he's like, what a false game this is to boost your numbers artificially. Yeah, duh. You. Of course it is. It's like a sale. Like when pennies had a sale, it was to, you know, we need a little boost with a little thing here. We're trying to fool the Bob's. The Bob's want to do it because they got to justify their jobs. Just deal with it. We understand all that. So should you. But Jerry's like, what? Do you get more money in your pocket from this? Maybe. What's it to you get out of my pockets. I don't see any more money from it but the station yet. Hey, just, you know, a quick little aside here. Everything we do is for money. I hate to break it to you, we're having fun with you and stuff, but in the end, this is a business, right?
D
No, I don't. I volunteer at a food bank.
A
No, I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about us. They can do whatever they want. I'm talking this radio station, everything you hear is an attempt to do better, to make more money. That's it. That's what every business should do. So yeah, when you throw that at us, it's just making your station more money, huh? Go on. It's not a valid argument is what I'm saying, Junior.

William Shatner died in my arms last night. I didn't see that coming. Who knows what's coming your way? And we had to walk out to my car in the middle of the night out in downtown Phoenix.

It's been 52 years since a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was released.
A
No kidding.
D
1973. Here's a couple of fun facts. Wow. As usual with the peanuts, no adults are shown. And yet this was the first peanut special to have an adult voice.
A
He speaks. The piano player.
D
He's singing the song Little birds. Ah.
A
Wow.
D
For those of you you know, he did all the music. Yeah. Lucy is the only. The only one in the opening scene.
A
I don't remember the beginning.
D
I don't either. I just always remember my brother and sister would watch. Was always kind of boring to me.
A
Charlie Brown.
D
The Thanksgiving one.
A
You unimaginative son of a bitch.
D
The Christmas one.
A
Take it back, you communist. Why don't you just go thriller, pick him up and get him out of here. Go over with Toledo's wife and go live in your red world.
B
Boring.
D
I was 8 years old at the time, and most of the action stuff I was getting was Bugs Bunny. Sure, a lot of violence.
A
You're a fool. It's good to this day.
D
And the music, very soothing. It.
A
Yes, it's the Thanksgiving special.
D
It's. The bell.
A
Isn't going to be a war or.
D
A racist rabbit eventually get tired?
A
No. You're just mad that everybody in there was eating but you. You son of a. Take it back. Snoopy's a God.
D
Oh, I like the Snoopy part. Woodstock.
A
All right, well, you start liking the kids, too. Life lessons all abound and things.
D
There's a couple on there I didn't like too much.
A
Well, yes. Well, it's a group of people. And I understand you weren't a big fan of Franklin. You grew up in a racist.
D
No, I like Franklin. Lucy was a little.
A
You'd have taken Franklin to the show and tell Pig Pen. Pig Pen was nobody's favorite, but still, you know, a representative of someone we all knew.
D
The actors who voiced Lucy and Charlie Brown are still in touch. They went to high school together and are Facebook friends.
A
How about that?
D
Tracy Stratford and Peter Robbins was Charlie Brown.
A
Only that always bothered me is how the director made all the kids over enunciate Charlie Brown. They would always say, it's so strange. That's right, Charlie Brown. Like, stop doing it that way. Even as a kid I recognized it. When you watch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing and their mouths do stuff that human mouths shouldn't do, that's because you're an idiot, Charlie Brown. There's Canadian.
D
There's a spin off inspired by Linus. By Linus's speech at the pilgrim's first Thanksgiving. It's called the Mayflower Voyagers. It's from this is America. Charlie Brown miniseries.
A
This guy just said, I never thought I'd agree with Brady, but peanut specials suck ass. Signed, Craig House, the Communist. Charlie Brown. And Snoopy and Spike. All of them.
D
One of the producers had an issue with Woodstock committing bird cannibalism.
A
Yeah, he ate some of the turkey. I did always find that a little odd.
D
And Snoopy, he takes a big bite, too.
A
He's got that little fork.
D
He joined Snoopy and carving.
A
Yeah, he beats up the bird. But again, maybe parakeets and turkeys hate each other. I guess you need each other.
D
The producer edited out. Years later, when CBS cut the special for time, it was restored to its full glory in 2001. Moved to ABC.
B
Yeah.
A
When they wanted to have the. It's cartoon cannibalism. Come on, get over it.
D
In a new poll, 97% of people couldn't tell the difference between AI generated music and something that was made by actual humans, the real stuff. And half of those who failed were concerned about it.
A
And they're just playing original music or. Yeah, because I can tell when there's a version, like a soul version of Alice in Chains. I know that never happened, but if.
D
You played that for someone and said, this is.
A
If they didn't.
D
Have you heard this. This R B band. Yeah.
A
That you wouldn't know.
D
Yeah.
A
Yeah. If they didn't. If they weren't familiar with Alice in Chains.
D
Yeah.
A
Because I've heard a few of them where they blues up a country song I'm not familiar with. Like something by Morgan Wallen or something. Yeah.
D
If you'd play it for me, I would say, okay.
A
Like, it's a cool blues song. Why is he thinking about tractors? Holmberg's morning sickness, I guess.
D
Billy Eilish is not a big fan of Elon Musk, and she posted suggestions for what Elon Musk could do with his money after finding out he could be the first trillionaire. What is it she said? She went after him pretty hard. She said, you could become the world's. You know, you're going to become the world's first trillionaire. You could do with your money. You could, like, end world Hunger, save endangered species or rebuilding Gaza. But she will.
A
And he'll make more money doing that. You have to understand that that's going to be a money generator.
D
But according to Billie Eilish, he's probably not going to do that because he's a effing pathetic wussy B word coward.
A
Well, if he does, Billy needs to. I think Billy's an incredibly talented person. She needs to apologize When Elon goes, Here's $250 billion and starts a foundation that does some great stuff. Maybe he will.
D
I'm kind of guessing Billy does all right financially.
A
Yeah.
D
What are you gonna do with your money?
A
That's exactly right. Everything's relative. Billy's a lot richer than Thriller, right?
D
Yeah, Thrillers.
A
Selling bone marrow just to make days go by. Billie Eilish, put an end to that because you could. We know none of us do what we could do. We're all kind of selfish. But if I had a trillion dollars just to get people off my ass, I'd probably give 200 billion.
D
Yeah.
A
To something. And guess what? The people I gave it to would mismanage it. We are the world. Africa's still hungry.
D
It's one of the things that we. I mean, we try to do that even with the stuff that we do in the morning.
A
I mean, we try to go as grassroots as we can to keep it out of other hands. The more hands touch it, the less money there is in the end. Now, we experience that with the tiny stuff we do here.
D
Morgan Freeman's lawyers have been busy stopping people from using AI to recreate his voice without permission.
A
He's angry about it.
D
I don't appreciate it. If you're gonna do it without me, you're robbing me.
A
Well, then let me tell you what you could do. You don't need the real Morgan Freeman. Just call a guy who can probably get it done for you. I'll take care of this from here.
D
I thought about that.
A
Yeah.
D
Between all the stuff that you've done and Frank coming in there and we.
A
Oh, you can make a fortune. Get sued like crazy if you're pretending to be them. I'm Morgan Freeman for dildos, and I get money from the dildo people. I'm going to, like, get big trouble for that.
D
It used to be disclaimer, you'd say at the end or the beginning.
A
Celebrity voice and person.
D
Yep.
A
But if you're not doing that part, like AI doesn't.
D
Ray J. You remember Ray J? He just recently found himself on the business end of a Defamation lawsuit filed by Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner.
A
Oh, boy.
D
Because originally he's been saying it for years. He's actually taking them to court for some of the money.
A
Yeah.
D
He said that release of the. The video with he and Kim was orchestrated by all three of them.
A
And her mom.
D
Mom determined said, let my mom in on this. We'll just play along with it.
A
Why doesn't Ray J. I thought he got a cut.
D
Well, he accuses them of peddling the false story that the tape was released against Kim's will for two decades, and now he's tired of playing.
A
But didn't he get paid?
D
I thought he got some money, but he's probably going back because he thinks I should deserve more money.
A
My guess is they stopped paying him, and now that the payment isn't coming, he's like, oh, yeah, you're not going to pay me anymore. Well, here we go. Well, there's no more money coming in from it, Ray J. Yeah, but you did. All right. So his. His dick was sort of springboard for the Kardashian fame.
D
That's why I think she's going to become an attorney.
A
She's got to take the bar again, sue Ray J. Away from.
D
Handle all her legal.
A
It's a good idea.
D
All you have to do is write a couple of letters.
A
Pretty smart.
D
We got a problem here.
A
If you cease and desists that, she can write about her own sex tapes and stuff. That's smart.
D
I had. You know, I'm a buddy of mine, he was attorney, and he'd represent himself on most of the business stuff. He was the one that owned the gentleman's clubs. Oh, and anytime that would come up.
A
Yeah, Representative lawyer himself. Right out of trouble. He was having sex tapes with all.
D
The dance movies out this weekend. The Running man, which Arnold has given thumbs up.
A
Arnold loved it.
D
Yeah. Glenn Powell stars in it, but I.
A
Have a feeling Arnold got paid to love it.
D
That's what I'm saying.
A
The better it does. I would imagine Arnold. I wonder if Arnold was an executive producer of the original and then this one as well. So he'll get a cut of this if it does.
D
Good. I would. Well, I think there would be something to that, for even to get his thumbs up on that fast.
A
Yeah, he didn't wait till it came out in the theater, but he's. He's going nuts over this thing. I like. I like that Glenn Powell guy. He seems like somebody you'd want to hang out with, like a celebrity, you know, Thriller Gonna Give me a shrug. The. The Chad Power show. I'm not interested in, though. Have you watched it? Have you?
D
No.
A
Since your review, I didn't watch it.
D
Oh. Because I talked to someone else. I always think of. I don't know why they went with Chad Powers. I'm like, is that to go after Eastbound and Down?
A
You know about Chad Powers? You don't know the story of Chad Powers?
D
No.
A
Chad Powers was the thing Eli Manning did. He tried out for.
D
Oh, that was his name?
A
Yeah.
D
Okay.
A
So he tried out for the Penn State quarterback thing and it was like, who the hell is this guy? As Chad Powers and he had the makeup on and everything else and he was, you know, just lit up. This walk on thing at Penn State.
D
Yeah.
A
This guy's incredible. That's what a couple of coaches knew. And then it's Ted Lasso. They're taking a one trick pony and trying to make a show out of it.
D
And I've heard. I've heard the same thing. As far as Peyton Manning's deal. They upped him to do a new series of those Motivating Mannings. No, it'll take an athlete and go undercover because he did the first couple.
A
He's done a couple years.
D
The Baker Mayfield one is very funny. His name's like Don.
A
Well, that's the Eli thing. Same thing.
D
Yeah.
A
All right. Shut her down.
D
Taylor. ACDC show in Melbourne, Australia registered low on the seismic activity on Wednesday night. But Taylor Swift's Error tour gave off a larger signal from the same venue.
A
Well, they're 100,000 years old. The Swifties are actually dancing. ACDC's crowd is seated or leaning on a walker. As good as they are, there's no more near thunderstruck. But it has to be done before 8pm it could be.
D
And there could be maybe more of a body mass index too. I don't know.
A
There might a lot of fat girls at Taylor Swift is what you're saying. I think the weight distribution of fat girls to biker guys for ACDC balances. I just think they're jumping around, shake it off and then the other ones are thunderstruck. But let's have a nap. It's not.
D
Some slow ones in between. Yeah, some cooldowns. Most of ACDC says he's pretty driving.
A
A lot of head steady, not a lot of feet moving. We've got a Guadalupe Squares coming up in just a little bit. You want to play? We've got a contestant that needs to be a girl and one that needs to be a boy and we'll get those squares going right away. 5, 8, 5 9, 800. That's what we do. The Guadalupe squares are next.
D
It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fees.
A
I have heard enough of this.
