Ohio Players.
Tom Griswold
Isn't that the Ohio Players?

Willie Griswold
Well, don't. I don't. I don't know definitively. Absolutely. It was the Ohio Players.
Tom Griswold
I think it was O'Reilly Auto Parts. Ow.

Kidding me.
Willie Griswold
But now.
Ali Breen
Now that.
Tom Griswold
What is this called?
Ace Cosby
Word up.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's word up.
Ali Breen
Now that you've heard a little bit of it, would you go give that a listen?
Willie Griswold
Would you go to a concert?
Ali Breen
Go, you know what? I want to hear the rest of it.
Ace Cosby
Would you climb down the ladder, walk.
Ali Breen
The dog, put the earbuds that wet your appetite?
Tom Griswold
I could sort of maybe see my little girls dancing to it. Oh, yeah, I love it.
Willie Griswold
You can't deny that your head went a little. Started to bob a little bit.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it definitely is Prince.
Ali Breen
Like, what year was that?
Willie Griswold
Ah, I'm gonna say 80s.
Ace Cosby
I'll look it up.
Tom Griswold
But I've heard the phrase word up. Sure. And. And.
Willie Griswold
And then it just went to word. Right. I forgot the app.
Tom Griswold
So what does it mean? I never could quite figure it out. I asked Al about it recently.
Ali Breen
It doesn't matter. It's about a feel.
Chick McGee
It can mean cool.
Tom Griswold
It can mean.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Willie Griswold
Did you everyone hear him say he asked Al recently?
Ace Cosby
1986 chick.
Willie Griswold
I thought. I thought it was earlier than people think it is, so.
Tom Griswold
Has many meanings.
Willie Griswold
Yes, it's art. It can mean many different things to many different people.
Tom Griswold
Word. Yeah, Word. That worked.
Ace Cosby
I spent some time with the King's music list yesterday. Yeah, King Charles. It's pretty. It's kind of interesting because he, like, talks in between every record and has, like, a little story.
Willie Griswold
Are you kidding? He's being a dj.
Ace Cosby
Yes, it's. It's kind of interesting.
Willie Griswold
So have we not heard this?
Ace Cosby
He did not say that.
Ali Breen
You know.
Willie Griswold
You know how you have to get up and you're early in the morning, and your dress is not there in the room with you just yet. And you're not sure what to do.
Tom Griswold
And your footman says, I don't have any rubber gloves for the enema. Is it okay if we go bareback, your highness?
Ali Breen
That, my friends, is a true highway to hell.
Ace Cosby
But I think, honestly, it made him more human to me, because talking about meeting Bob Marley and going to Jamaica and smoking the ganja. He did not say that, but I was hoping.
Tom Griswold
Is that what you call a split? You know, there was a large fireplace.
Ali Breen
And I thought, wouldn't it be nice?
Tom Griswold
Beach Boys.
Ace Cosby
He does. He talks about every. Why he's picked the Kylie Minogue song, why he picked Locomotion. And he said, couldn't you get up and dance to this? It's got a nice beat. I mean, he's. It's pretty.
Willie Griswold
And of course, every now and then, I miss my mother.
Ace Cosby
The queen talked about.
Willie Griswold
She was my best friend. Speaking of queen.
Ace Cosby
It's all right. I found myself very entertaining while at Eaton.
Tom Griswold
I decided to like Lou Reed, Take a walk in the wild side, you know, what goes where.
Willie Griswold
Right, Steve?
Tom Griswold
A little bit of royal sodomy.
Chick McGee
Does he do ads? No, he doesn't do ads.
Ace Cosby
No, no, he doesn't do ads.
Willie Griswold
Oh.
Chick McGee
I really want him to, like, be doing a dude's wife commercial halfway through.
Ali Breen
Yes.
Ace Cosby
Or at least I only I. I got to listen to about a half hour.
Ali Breen
If you want the most qualified candidates. Zip recruiter.
Willie Griswold
If you weren't born into privilege.
Ace Cosby
I honestly expected it to be, oh, here's King Charles playlist. Because we, you know, played a little bit at the beginning where he's talking about why he picked the songs. So I just expected the songs to just roll through like you do on Spotify. But no, he talks. Every song there's a story.
Ali Breen
What kind of pop music does he like?
Ace Cosby
He played Locomotion and he.
Tom Griswold
Which version of the.
Ace Cosby
He played Kylie Minogues. Because she did. Is that thing.
Tom Griswold
Is that the song? The Locomotion?
Willie Griswold
Come on, baby.
Ace Cosby
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I don't know who Kylie Minogue is.
Ace Cosby
She's Australian. Is it?
Ali Breen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Willie Griswold
New Zealand. Yeah.
Ace Cosby
One of those. Yeah.
Willie Griswold
Down there somewhere.
Ali Breen
Yeah. I also don't know Natalie Imbruglio. Right.
Chick McGee
I also don't know who she is. But you don't have to say it like you're offended by it.
Ali Breen
No, no.
Tom Griswold
I'm just saying because I hear this Locomotion. I'm either thinking either the original or maybe the grand funk version. You don't like the grandfather should have.
Willie Griswold
Put that in a 55 gallon barrel.
Tom Griswold
I think it's got to be one.
Ali Breen
Of the more ream because there was another one in the 80s and 90s. Yeah, Carole King. Is that right?
Tom Griswold
I think she wrote it.
Willie Griswold
Do you remember how upset you were? You heard the Doobie Brothers Real Love and you insisted someone was playing the organ with their feet.
Ali Breen
Yes.
Willie Griswold
Same thing in Grand Funk's Locomotion.
Ali Breen
Oh, no, Chick, I'm with you on this. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, it rocks. Word.
Willie Griswold
No. What'd you say?
Tom Griswold
Word. Okay. All right. Thank you very much. This is one of the finer moments of the 80s.
Willie Griswold
You know, my mother loved Cameo.
Tom Griswold
I used to bang Camilla to this.
Willie Griswold
I wish I was your. Never mind.
Ace Cosby
But, you know, they played a Millie Small song from the 60s. I don't know if you remember her.
Willie Griswold
Who's Millie Smalls?
Ace Cosby
She doesn't. As soon as I heard the song, I knew who she was. It was called Millie Smalls. Yeah, she's Jamaican as well.
Tom Griswold
I. I don't know. I don't know that one.
Ace Cosby
Oh, God. My Boy Lollipop.
Tom Griswold
Oh, God, I hate that song.
Ace Cosby
He played that.
Willie Griswold
Why? I wanna. I wanna hear him jocking it up.
Ace Cosby
Because he said he met Millie Smith. He was one of her. He goes. But when that trip to Jamaica.
Tom Griswold
He must have been. He must have been 12.
Ali Breen
It's called my Boy Lollipop.
Ace Cosby
It is.
Tom Griswold
Oh, my God.
Ace Cosby
You make my heart go giddy up.
Willie Griswold
But it's not lollipop. It.
Ali Breen
I. I know when you said damn.
Willie Griswold
Songs were there with lollipop.
Ali Breen
Far too many.
Willie Griswold
Two, two too many up there.
Chick McGee
Pre Beatles, 90% of songs are about lollipops. You make my heart go Gid up.
Willie Griswold
What a great vocal. No one said ever. Yes. All right.
Ali Breen
Before.
Willie Griswold
Now. Take your finger. Take your finger.
Tom Griswold
Ah, there we go.
Ace Cosby
From Bob Marley into that into Kylie Minogue into my grandmother loved 20s and 30s music, which is one of my favorites. And then he goes into some.
Willie Griswold
That was her last. That was her last request before I killed her. Sometimes kings crazy.
Tom Griswold
Didn't she live to be a hundred something?

He went down on the plane. Of course I went down on.
Willie Griswold
Yes, yes, we know you think Charles is gay. We get it.
Ali Breen
Hold me by the ears.
Tom Griswold
No, remember that this is true. This sounds like it's not. But during the whole. They. The whole thing about him wanting. He wrote that poem or something to Camilla. But he wanted to be her tampon.
Willie Griswold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
No, that's real. I'm not making. That.
Ali Breen
Was intercepted.
Tom Griswold
I mean that when it comes to sort of.
Ali Breen
Your lollipop is still playing.
Tom Griswold
Oh, sorry. Is it still there? Oh, yeah. I can't. My hearing is terrible.
Ali Breen
That doesn't mean you have to be bad with the equipment.
Tom Griswold
No, it does now, John. Josh, you're something. Turn the headphones off. Josh, you're something of a poet.
Pat Godwin
Yes.
Willie Griswold
Real quick, wouldn't you say that if.
Tom Griswold
No matter what kind of thing you're trying to get across, I love you. Like, I could be your tampon.
Ali Breen
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Not really a good way to.
Ace Cosby
Yeah.

Let's see. Kotex. No. Hard to rhyme that.
Ali Breen
I've got it. In the days of York.
Chick McGee
This is a guy. He's never had to be sexy his whole life.
Ace Cosby
That's right.
Chick McGee
He's never had to work. Work, really. Especially with his words. With women.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, true.
Ace Cosby
That's true.
Tom Griswold
But actually, that gig he has is he has to do.
Ace Cosby
It's.
Tom Griswold
He really does have to. You got to appear lots of places and gotta.
Ace Cosby
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Although I'm about ready to vomit when I saw the latest People magazine with.
Ace Cosby
No, not Meghan Markle.
Tom Griswold
Meghan Markle.
Ace Cosby
You actually looked at that?
Tom Griswold
No, it was sitting on a table. I walked by. Why is she in the news again?
Willie Griswold
She's got a new show out, right?
Ace Cosby
New Netflix. Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a Martha Stewart. She's just teaching you how to cook.
Willie Griswold
I think she would. Would have been an okay actress had all that not happened. She was okay in suits. Yeah, she was fine in suits. And then you.
Tom Griswold
You know, I think. I think being a good actress makes you worthy.
Willie Griswold
Then when her name shows up in the credits, her royals suck for her or something.
Ace Cosby
Change. She did.
Chick McGee
Is that what it is?
Willie Griswold
The Duchess of.
Tom Griswold
The Princess of Snatchelina changed her last name to Sussex.
Ace Cosby
Sussex.
Willie Griswold
What?
Ace Cosby
She changed her last name to Sussex.
Willie Griswold
It says Megan Sussex.
Chick McGee
Don't people do that when they get married, though?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but if you do your reading, you go back. Their real name is, like, Mountbatten. No, no, it's like Hindenburg.
Willie Griswold
Okay, well, if you want to get.
Ali Breen
Into that, you know, I would change my name for Hindenburg also.
Tom Griswold
I mean, it's.
Willie Griswold
No, the Russians are. And the King of England were brothers or something.
Tom Griswold
If you're gonna go back that far, it's something Hitleresque. Anyway, they changed their name.
Ace Cosby
I'm not a fan we all know that.
Tom Griswold
I remember the name of the tampons I had to buy. Christy OB Tampons.
Ace Cosby
Yeah. They're applicatorless.
Willie Griswold
Not ob.
Tom Griswold
Whatever they are, they were.
Willie Griswold
You mean obi topping the Indiana Pacers?
Ace Cosby
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
But, yeah, they're hard to find.
Willie Griswold
I'm over top of OB tampons because.
Chick McGee
He obi's known for dunking. They have to do a video where. There you go, dunking a huge tampon.
Willie Griswold
He jumps. He stays up.
Chick McGee
Baby, let me take care of you gals.
Tom Griswold
So, yeah, I was out there. You're talking about how embarrassing it could be to have to go buy tampons. It was okay.
Ace Cosby
Oh, you got daughters. You're gonna be doing it again soon.
Willie Griswold
You might want to put a tampon concession in. In the basement.
Tom Griswold
Think about. I've been doing it for a long time.
Willie Griswold
Step right up. Get your tampons. Get your tampons here.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's right.
Ace Cosby
Never mind.
Tom Griswold
A couple of quick letters. This one may be one of my favorite short letters.
Willie Griswold
Oh, it's letters time. Tom, do you have a letter?
Tom Griswold
I like it. Give this one again.
Chick McGee
Severance.
Willie Griswold
You know how to samba? This is a samba.
Ace Cosby
Samba doesn't.
Tom Griswold
I mean this to me. I. I just see Jack Lemmon walking into a New York City apartment, lighting up a cigarette, making a martini.
Ace Cosby
Yeah, isn't that great?
Tom Griswold
Hot blonde comes in and. Oh, this is great now.
Willie Griswold
Yes, go ahead.
Tom Griswold
Dear radio Personalities, the word personality in quotes. Oh, I'm not sure how to take that, Josh.
Ali Breen
Well, you know what? I'm gonna give this listener the benefit of the doubt.
Tom Griswold
Well, then it becomes one of the best letters of all time.
Willie Griswold
All right.
Tom Griswold
It's from Brian. He writes, like several of you, I've been struggling with the recent time change. Yeah, I was whining about that the other day. In order to help me correct the time on my clocks, can you please have Ace Cosby tell me when it's time to rock? I just. Ace, want to handle that. Is it time to rock?
Ali Breen
There's only one way to rock.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay. Yeah, I guess we'll be getting the time on that later.
Willie Griswold
All he had to say was, it's time.
Ali Breen
One thing.
Chick McGee
It was confusing.
Willie Griswold
It's always confusing. If you like being muddled, talk to Ace. No, no.
Ali Breen
Yeah, I think time's on. Clearly not time to rock.
Tom Griswold
He would have told us he wasn't ready yet.
Willie Griswold
No one's ready, right?
Ali Breen
It's not time to rock.
Willie Griswold
I think it might be time.
Ali Breen
Are you ready to rock?
Tom Griswold
No, that may I think Ace has.
Willie Griswold
No idea what it's.
Ali Breen
Well, for those about to rock, we salute you again. Still, clearly not time.
Tom Griswold
Wouldn't it be? Ready?
Willie Griswold
You.
Tom Griswold
You called that.
Willie Griswold
Remember that? Was he getting laughs for that?
Tom Griswold
Remember the old thing you'd call that number to be? The Naval Observatory, Blah, blah, blah.
Willie Griswold
The official time is United States Naval Observatory Master clock.
Ali Breen
That's all fine, but we're not. I mean, look, we. We consulted the rock clock.
Tom Griswold
It's not time to rock.
Ali Breen
No, I. Like he would tell us.
Tom Griswold
Okay, well, we actually have another letter that kind of references when it's time to rock.
Ace Cosby
Oh.
Tom Griswold
No, no. You'll be. You're needed for this one.
Willie Griswold
Okay, I'm here. I'm your man.
Tom Griswold
I'm a listener who drives a truck. Nice. I certainly enjoy it, at least for a while. When Chick McGee would introduce Leonard Skynyrd on the program.
Willie Griswold
Well, 20 seconds of hey, put Skynyrd back up on your button bar.
Tom Griswold
It's not. It's not up there.
Willie Griswold
No. This is where Skynyrd used to be. A little different.
Tom Griswold
So the nace is right. Because clearly it is not time to rock.
Willie Griswold
It's not time to rock.
Ali Breen
Right.
Willie Griswold
Although we could play this if you want to rock.
Tom Griswold
This is not time to rock either.
Ace Cosby
This is fun.
Willie Griswold
Kind of rock.
Ali Breen
Rocks.
Willie Griswold
Rocks.
Christopher
This is not rock.
Ali Breen
We can do the corn version. Yeah, it's. It's surprisingly faithful to this one.
Ace Cosby
Is it really?
Willie Griswold
Yeah, I don't care for corn because they're ours backwards.
Tom Griswold
There you go. Now we're talking with Skynyrd. Is it time to rock?
Ali Breen
It's not time.
Tom Griswold
Still. Kyler.
Christopher
I'm sorry.
Willie Griswold
It's not.
Ali Breen
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Not time to rock. Kyler writes, your show's off the rails like a redneck who is 12 bush lights deep.
Ali Breen
Well, I. I'm often that I agree.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Ali Breen
Yesterday, we had a letter from. During the Ali Breen segment, Tom, where this gentleman was mad because he took his girlfriend to a strip club. Willie. And she got topless, and he didn't care for this white stuff.
Chick McGee
Yeah, mad because of more boobs.
Ali Breen
Right, Right. Well, I don't think he liked the idea of his friends seeing her boobs.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, his girlfriend and his buddies were with him.
Chick McGee
Okay, I guess that makes sense, I think. But.
Ali Breen
Well, we have a letter here that says, at my 50th birthday party, our son's girlfriend wanted to go to a strip club. Several of us. So that's the girlfriend. She said, I want you to take me. All you guys take me to a strip club. Yeah.
Ace Cosby
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Wait. This is from the dad?
Ali Breen
Yes. Of the sun.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Ali Breen
Several of us piled into a van. This is so fun.
Chick McGee
They gotta make a playlist on the.
Ali Breen
Way they do because there was an hour to get there.
Willie Griswold
One of my son's girlfriends. I'm gonna take her top off. Let's go.
Ali Breen
So they drove an hour. It was late. We got a seat at the front of the stage. Oh, they were ready.
Willie Griswold
Sure he did.
Ali Breen
About 15 minutes into the night, a dancer coaxed my son's girlfriend into exposing her ample breasts. Ample, yes. This happened several times. When we walked out, the bouncers told my son, you better marry that girl. She is now Tom, our daughter in law. Yeah, what a sweet.
Tom Griswold
I wonder if they brought that up as one of the toasts at the wedding. Hey, Zelda, take them off. Let's show the ladies.
Ali Breen
Come on, come on. Don't be shy tonight.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, Granny hasn't seen a firm pair in 20.
