B
Line that we had last year at.
C
The place, maybe get there around 6 o'. Clock. Yeah, maybe that's. Oh, that's true. We had that weird line Last year, you're right. And then Adam Ray screwed us last year because he tried to get over in time but couldn't make it. And then somebody flipped the switch. Ah, I got screwed on that one. Last 15 minutes of last year's show pissed me off. But the whole thing up to then was great. This is how it works. You go to After Dark, we're gonna have our party going on. Rhett will have the top 10 videos that we've watched all year up on the screen. And that is a thrilling moment. I'm working Powerful Closer. I'm working on our guest of the Year. And I had a chat on Friday, and there's a very good chance that we can fly this person in, but it's going to be tight because he's got a morning thing, so I can't commit to that. We've got good guests, though. We're going to have good people there. On top of it all, you get to see those videos and just screw around with his PO. The guy that I challenged to lose, like, 150 pounds, and I'd give him a minute of stand up for every pound he was less than a certain weight. He's looking like he might be able to do it. He's pretty funny. Standard tickets are $19.79. VIP reserve seats are 29.79. Get a little extra with that. All the proceeds from this are going to the Arizona Humane Society, and it's brought to you by our friends at Learn and Row. I had lunch with Kevin the other day, and I thought Kevin had had bad days in plastic surgery. And I'm looking at him and I'm like, I gotta. I might say something. I. This is terrible, what he's done to himself. Turned out he ran into a wall playing with his kids and broke his nose. And he had to shoot commercials that morning. So he had some cover makeup on, so you didn't know his nose was busted. And I'm like, his face is a disaster. What's he done? Has he gone to Mexico with what happened? And he's like, I'm surprised you didn't say anything. I'm like, what am I supposed to do? He goes, yeah, I turned. Ran away from my kid and turned and smashed into a door frame. Like, nose first. High five. I would have blown the door frame open with my nose. Anyway, so thanks to Kevin and Lerner and Rowe, also Happy endings, Euthanasia is on board.

It's time for the entertainment drill and it's brought to you by our friends@reactdefense.com that's the home of tactical black self defense. There's mountain man Jeff. There's mountain man Jay. He's in the building. What's he doing here? Are you not allowed to be here? Come on in. We'll allow you on the radio. Unlike that last place. Get over here. Are you gonna get in trouble for this. Okay. I saw your truck pull up and it says Mountain Man J on it.
D
Yeah, I'm solo now.
C
Yeah, you're all by yourself. I mean, you're gone from the show. What happened? Mountain Man J from the mountain. They named the station after you.
D
Yeah, I'm no longer there.
C
What happened? That's a long story. I want to hear it. Go.
D
Really?
C
Yeah.
D
I don't want to get in trouble, though.
C
Can you get in trouble?
D
Probably, yes.
C
Okay. Okay. Now.
D
Yeah, I'm just. J. I'm. I'm Toyota J. Call me Toyota. Working with them.
C
You don't look Asian, but I'll call you Toyota J. So you're not allowed to talk about how awful that was to you because.
D
You know, you still get money.
C
Oh, you're getting. You're probably not even supposed to be on the air right now.
D
Really? Why?
C
I don't know if you're. If they're giving severance, they might get mad. Well, whatever it was, just blink twice. Did Beth hit you? No.
B
No.
C
Okay.
D
No. Beth is my babe. I still love her.
C
Okay.
D
But we're still good.
C
You're still okay. That got creepy real fast. Okay, well, you know, but there's other. Don't. Aren't radio executives the worst? They're all idiots.
D
It is a tough thing.
C
Yeah.
D
But, you know, I was on radio for four. I've only. This is my second job. I was minor league baseball, and then. And then I did radio, so I don't even know what to do, man. I was an idiot on Beth and Friends. So now nobody's going to hire me. So now I just screwed myself.
C
We'll hire you. Sure, why not? Can I do the. Do I have hiring power at all? Let's put him back on.
D
Was this a job interview?
C
Yeah, it's going well.
E
Thanks.
C
You're doing great. Well, yeah. All right. Now get off my show.
D
Okay.
C
All right. Do you want to get. Do you want to stay in radio?
D
Yeah, I mean, I want to keep going. I want to make money.
C
Yeah, that's the thing.
D
I mean, I can't.
C
So you don't want to be in radio?
D
No, I would love to be in.
E
All right.
C
Well, cool. Well, good luck to you. Hopefully there's a landing spot. Is that why you're wandering around our building?
D
Yeah. I've known Jen for a long time.
C
So she can't hire anybody, so it's just a.
D
No, but she's a friendly face. Just foot in the door, come see me.
C
I was like, heck, yeah, he's a genius. All right, well, good. Well, good luck to you, man. Well, appreciate you wandering around our halls. Look, it's mountain man J. Larry. Got any openings? No, that's right. It's former mountain man J. Remember Toyota J. Toyota J. Sorry, I didn't mean to put you on the spot. He participated quite well. He's just walking around the building. I like when people who get screwed by radio just show up at other radio stations. I know as a kid, I used to like that. I remember how much fun it was when Bruce Kelly got fired by KZDP the first time. There were multiple ones of those. And then he went over to Y95 and the whole thing was just like, oh, everybody's switching their stage. That doesn't happen in radio anymore. Like it was a big deal when somebody moved somebody, he could have power too.
A
I can't remember.
C
I don't remember. I just remember that being a thing Y95. And then they canned him and then he went back to ZZP and then he whipped his dick out at Disneyland and. All right, here we go. Here comes the phone call. Here we go. Jay didn't do that, did he? In whip your wiener out at anything, did you? We've had that problem, okay. We've had that problem with other radio people in the past. That's what the last guy said who did it, though. So it's the same exact story. It'll all come out in the wash eventually. Anyway, it's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by reactdefense.com that's the home of tactical black self defense. You want to get in on their 25th anniversary special, which is going strong, 89 for a month of training.

E
Paris Hilton would like you to know that she is self made. She.
C
She built herself. Yeah, the Hilton. She's not Familiar with that.
E
Ever since I was a teenager, I wanted to be independent. I didn't want to have to ask my family for anything.
D
Huh.
F
But it really helped all the money that they had in the bank.
D
Yeah.
E
Everything I've done, I've done on my own.
C
She started at zero.
E
I do come from, you know, I do come from a name.
C
He had a foot in the door. I think that helps a little bit also. He's so stupid. You took a D on video and it made us all in.
A
And it was terrible.
C
And it wasn't good.
A
It was terrible.
C
But she looks better now than she looked then.
A
Yeah. But hopefully she can.
C
She can better now than she did then.
A
I think she was terrible.
C
Hopefully.
E
That was Kylie Jenner.
C
She. Kylie Jenner.
E
She compares her situation to Kylie Jenner, who's also claimed to be self made.
C
Well, Kylie got to a billion dollars, but it doesn't mean that she started with nothing. Nobody's truly self made. You all get a little hand in there. I mean, you can start at zero. Yeah. If it wasn't for your folks, like, you lived with them for a long time.
E
So majority of the time that's the case.
C
It's how you approach or are ambitious with what you do have. Maybe Paris didn't have much, but her dad kind of knew some people. And maybe, you know, having best friends with Lionel Richie's daughter doesn't hurt that you can kind of get into places that most people can't. But that's not her fault. Nobody wants to hear that. I think that's the bigger problem with her name.
A
She got in whatever she needed to anyway.
C
No one wants to hear a Hilton saying, I did this with no help. It's like, okay, we're all struggling out here with Holmbergs and Veslies and Toledos and Bogans. We have a little bit bigger hill to climb, but doesn't mean you don't deserve it.
A
Our first car wasn't a Bentley or.
C
Something, you know, I mean, come on.
A
Came from.
C
Well, yours wasn't a school.
F
1973 Subaru.
C
Now, I will say my first car was a Bentley, but it was because I named it after Paul Benedict from the Jefferson. Nice. It was a Jeep, but I called it Bentley.
E
Here's a list of dead people who did terrible things while they were alive.
C
It's the only time you can do it, really. Brady.
D
Yeah.
E
Unless you're. Unless you believe in ghosts.
C
And I don't. And I don't think they've ever done anything terrible that would.
E
Steve Jobs Screwed over his best friend. Left his girlfriend when he found out she was pregnant. Refused traditional cancer treatment in favor of new age cures until it was too late.
F
Refusing cancer treatment.
E
Yeah.
C
What a jerk. Jesus.
E
Then used his money to jump to the head of the organ donor list.
C
That is kind of a dick move for a guy who needs a kidney. That kind of probably.
E
James Brown made the list.
C
I'd do it, but I would do it if I had the money to jump the list. And here's the other thing. Brady doesn't have the money to jump the list. But I watched his eyes light up when my doctor friend who's the transplant specialist says, have him call me. I can help with that. And you were like, ooh, I got an in. Brady loves knowing the owners.
E
Yeah.
C
Get a free meal and a tour of the kitchen. And a kidney. I'll jump that line.
E
James Brown made the list.
C
And what are the odds Brady's gonna meet the person that he jumped over in the kidney line?
F
Oh, yeah, very.
A
Yeah.
C
Very minimal. You won't know who is in third leap right past him.
F
What if that person, like, wins the lottery and comes after Brady?
C
You just lean over and look at him in his wheelchair and go, him's gotta get mines.
E
Coco Chanel Had Nazi ties during World War II and was openly anti Semitic. Hugo Boss was an actual Nazi.
C
Made the uniforms.
E
Paul Walker at the time of his death.
C
Oh, yeah.
E
Jasmine Pilchard. Gosnell was 16 when he started dating her. He was 33. And his previous girlfriend, he also dated with 16.
C
He was big on that, but he was so handsome that the parents didn't care.
E
Alfred Hitchcock. Emotionally abusive and sexually inappropriate with his actresses.
C
Tippy Hedren especially.
A
Yeah, so she.
C
She was one of the birds. She's a Melanie Griffith's mom. Oh, okay.
A
Yeah.
E
John Wayne. Open racist and white supremacist. According to this. Who was also. He didn't believe in equal rights for women.
C
What do you mean, according to this? He was. He was loud about hating Indians. He did a Playboy interview once. It just said he was pretty happy with what happened.
E
Selling his movies.
C
It's way after those were out. Or he's like 74 when he's like.
E
But then his best friend was an Indian in the movie.
C
Well, he got paid. He was. Yeah, he was getting paid. He's getting paid. And by the way, the other two.
E
Gandhi and.
C
But hold on. Before you go on anymore about the John Wayne, before you dig your heels in, the best friend in the movie that was an Indian. Was A white dude in red paint. They didn't hire Indians for movies then. No, I think the one guy Dances with Wolves won awards for being the first show about Indians that actually had Indian actors. Oh, they used to paint him red.
A
Iron Eyes Cody.
C
He was Italian.
A
I know, that's what I'm saying.
C
So they didn't like hiring the Indians.
A
But Ted Williams, did he make the list?
C
Teddy Baseball.
F
Yeah, he was a notorious horrible racist young.
E
They highlighted just a couple of the Kennedy family was on there.
C
They killed a lot.
E
And it just says, where do we start? Gandhi, Mother Teresa. Where others. There is more.
C
Let's go back to Steve Jobs. Apple, right?
E
Yeah.
C
Yeah. And I'm in a big thing with Apple right now because I downloaded the update and now my phone won't take a charge.
E
Oh, and they got in trouble, pissing me off.
C
This phone is not old. Raining quickly when they do the updates. Yeah, but they do the updates and they make your batteries less so you have to go get another phone. Yeah, and I just got this thing like eight months ago. And right now, after the update, every time I plug in, I get what used to be a day and a half. I'm down to about three hours. Oh, it's blowing. And I got nothing running. I've checked it all. It's pissing me off.
A
Time for the genius bar.
C
Yeah, I think I gotta go throw one of these at a genius. I'll send Toyota Jay over there. He'll know what to do.
A
He's got nothing else going on.
C
That's true. He's got a free day. Some of us have jobs.
E
The NFL released the halftime performances for Thanksgiving.

A
Right.
C
I didn't watch that game.
A
Was he that bad? He was horrible.
C
He was horrible.
F
Like you said earlier this morning. Now you see why he's.
C
Oh, he's a fifth round Pick for a reason. And the reason that they're like, no, he's doing good. He's coming along. We're fine. Why did we trade Flacco again? But, yeah, that's. He's in trouble. Come on. You expect him to be like, daddy ain't Daddy. He's a third stringer now. Poor Deion has to watch his son fail. You know what I think's gonna happen? Deion's gonna be the coach of the Browns. Cause everywhere Shador's been with Deon coaching, they've done well because he was at that school in Mississippi. And then they moved over to Colorado together, and they did very well both times.
F
Yeah, but they also. I was hearing him talk about it this morning. They plucked Pat Shermer and made him OC his second year in Colorado so.
C
That whatever Dion did that would do whatever made sure. Okay. But whatever they were doing was working. No, no.

Yeah.
F
