Dixon & Vining Hour 2 (111924)

O'Shea Jackson Jr. and TJ Jefferson bring their unique take on sports entertainment with no contest wrestling. With guests like Swerve Strickland, why do you use staples like sense-who-beens, man? It was just something the concept I came up with. It's an instrument used to punish. It's just finding those common items. If you see them, you automatically think back to me in that moment. So it's one of those things I wanted to just implement in, like, my whole character, reading the most dangerous man in AW. But no contest wrestling podcast. Part of the Rich Eyes and Podcast Network. Wherever you listen.

Good morning Birmingham, it is 706 with Diction and Finding, talk minute and five, talk minute and five. Don't come, we got rain all day till about five o'clock this afternoon. It is going to be raining, raining, raining, raining, raining. We got traffic nightmares going on out there, baby. Is it going to be rough? Man, oh man, uh, just, you know, be careful on the roadways. Will you please? We're not asking a lot here. Just try not to die. We can't afford to lose any more listeners if you don't mind.

Uh, 57 for a high tomorrow. Today we're getting up 69 or so. 59 on Friday. I'm sorry. 66. I keep forgetting. Today is Tuesday, right? For some reason in my head, it's Wednesday.

69 today, 66 tomorrow, 57 on Thursday, 59 on Friday. It's going to be chilly as the week wears on, and that's okay because, you know, it's November. It's supposed to be. And there's wrecks everywhere. There are wrecks everywhere. I mean, I don't even know where to begin. Some of you are like, I know I'm sitting in it. I'm so sorry. Wreck blocking two middle lanes on 280 eastbound at the Mountain Brook exit, Mountain Brook Zoo exit.

a significant backups onto 31 and the Red Mountain Expressway got that one on 65 Northbound University backed up to Lakeshore and then signed. There's another one up around the Fultondale area headed Southbound on 65 into town. There's a backup there. I 20 West to exit 136.

Mm. See, y'all see what we're saying. There is everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere. Just, you know, this would be a morning if you could do it. Just, you know, have a cup of coffee, a hot cup of cocoa, something like that. And just relax. We could be looking at two inches of rain today.

Yeah, two inches. It's on us right now. Looking at what Alex Puckett at CBS 42 is saying in some of that radar, it will get a little lighter later as far as the amount of rain. But it looks like that stuff's going to hang with us until about five o'clock this afternoon, all coming from the West. It's going to hang in there, man. Just go ahead. You know what? We need it. But boy,

I hate it when it comes down after it's been so dry because the ground is all dry. The good news is that it's kind of long and there's periods of heaviness, there's periods where it's just, you know, it takes off on you, but then there's periods where it's just a little kind of lighter and

If we can get a long all-day lighter rain, that would be good because it will eventually saturate the ground and then everything can soak in. And the problem with the roadways is that when we haven't had rain for, I don't know, seven, eight weeks like we're getting this morning, you've got all that oil and slickness. And so as you're riding over it, maybe it's a little bit better out there now, but those first few 30, 45 minutes of people driving over that, it's super, super slick because of all the oil and dirt and what not on the roadways.

Thank God for the four-wheel drive. Oh, aren't you lucky? Yeah, baby. Yeah, I'm not lucky. I'm smart, Valerie. I'm smart. You're lucky. I got the four-wheel drive because, you know, every once in a while we get snow here, and I will be the guy who's driving around thinking everyone else. So you got the truck for snow? Well, I mean, I got the truck.

And I got the four-wheel drive in case it snowed. Just in case. So now we'll go about three years with no snow. I'll be cruising around to your place to pick you up to be like, I got the Jeep. I got four-wheel drive. All right. Well, I won't have to worry about you all. I have to go pick up Andrew. There you go. Go pick up John Berg. Leeland is on his own. He can take care of me. He's got four-wheel drive. He's got four-wheel drive all over vehicles. He's got the big truck. Easy. You and the Jeep too. Yeah. I'll pick up AJ.

It's okay. I got this covered. I'm on it. Steve, you need a ride? I got all wheel drive. He's looking forward to picking up everybody in the next snowstorm. I'm looking forward. It's going to be a good time. You know how to change a flat tire because that was a big issue. I do know how to change a flat tire, believe it or not.

been doing it for most of my life. I go back to the bumper jack. Remember the old bumper jack? Yes. Oh, yeah. Ever have a car fall off the bumper jack? I've seen it. No, it's bumper jack. Yeah. No, thank you. I did. I did see one once. I did. I was not part of it, but my parents were changing the time. Did somebody die? No. Thank God. Nobody was underneath it, but the whole thing just fortunately, the axle remained intact. That's good. Yeah. It was kind of like a whoa, that what's going on there?

If you want an example of a bumper jack, watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Perfect. Speaking of, well, all right, I have no transition for this. Let's go instead. It's OK. You don't have to have a transition for everything. Well, Ferris Bueller's Day Off threw me off a little bit. Suddenly we got into Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Thank you. My job is done here. No, that's quite all right. It's like darn it. I didn't have a transition here. That's fine. That's perfectly OK. It's all right. There was a line of demarcation is what it was.

was like fairsfield staff now we're moving on to another topic which is what's going on in pennsylvania yeah uh... you know you had the county board there uh...

The Elector Board in Bucks County, they're like, you know what? I know the Supreme Court in Pennsylvania said not to count these votes that came in late and not to count the ones that don't have signatures and not to count the ones that don't have matching signatures. But you know what? We're going to count them anyway. And they actually did this publicly. They were just like, we're going to count them anyway. You know, everyone kind of picks and chooses the laws they feel like following. So we're going to do this.

No, that's not how this works. Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled on it and they're just going to go, okay, we're going to keep on counting. I don't think so. This is all part of the recount between Dave. What's his name? Make, make, make, help me out here. Somebody knows it. Dave McCormick. Yes, Dave McCormick. That's right. Dave McCormick and Bob Casey. Yes. Casey holds the seat right now.

McCormick actually won by 26,000 votes, which is a very slim margin in a state the size of Pennsylvania, and it certainly falls underneath the one half percent rule that then allows for a recount. In fact, calls for a recount if you want one and the taxpayer have to foot the bill for it. Bob Casey, by the way, had come out and conceded and said, okay, I lost. There wouldn't be a recount, but he's like, nope, not conceding everybody. So here you have the county board of electors that are like, you know what, let's count some of those illegal votes.

well i took them like you know three things happen it takes a while takes over a day but three things then happen the first thing that happens is the republican uh... attorney general of the state attorney in the state of pennsylvania says we're going to actually pursue criminal charges if you count these illegal votes

We're going to pursue criminal charges. By the way, just so you know, that's a felony. And if you don't believe that we're serious, look at what just happened in Minnesota where this judge allowed people who were not legally registered to vote to vote. He just got charged with felonies. He's in an orange jumpsuit. He's in a prison cell. The bail is high. He's not going anywhere.

Thank goodness. Say what you want about Minnesota. They take their election integrity seriously, okay? So here you have the attorney, the U.S. attorney in the state of Pennsylvania going, we're going to file federal charges against you if you continue to count these votes and you count them toward the total. Then you had the Supreme Court come out, actually the next thing that happened is you had the Senate come out and say,

We get to decide whether or not we seat him. And the majority of course is Republicans. So if we feel like you counted illegal votes and you put that toward the total, we're going to do an investigation, we're not seating Bob Casey. It's not going to happen. So you can do all this stuff that you want to, but he's never going to get sat, not going to happen.

So you have that, you have then the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania come back out and say, we're ordering you not to count those things. We're ordering you do not count those things. So you now have the US attorney, we're going to put you in jail. You have the Senate. We're not going to see them. You have the

Pennsylvania Supreme Court coming back out and saying, don't you dare count those votes last but not least late last night. Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro comes out and says, I'm with the Supreme Court on this voice. Don't count those votes. Isn't this something?

This is the point at which you kind of go, I think as the election board would be like, I don't think, Orange is not my color. I don't think I want to go to Jay. Maybe we're going to go ahead and leave these legal votes out and not count them anymore. We need some sort of, but I'm not a big fan of it. Is it not amazing we're to a point that really, you all know this is against the law. When you're doing, you have to threaten them with jail time or putting on a jumpsuit for you to do the right thing. The Supreme Court ruled on this, that should have been enough. You would think?

you would think but this is what's wrong with some of these election process absolutely that these these votes even get near them well this is why i feel and i'm not a big fan of federal anything when it comes to elections because elections should be fifty state elections

But I do believe that there are a couple of ground rules. I can't believe that we have to do this. It's kind of like going, hey, guys can't be in girls' sports. Like, did you ever think there'd be a time when you have to say? Did you have to say that? Guys can't be in girls' sports. No. Never thought we'd ever be here. We're at a point now where you have to say election day is election day. There needs to be almost a federal law to go to Nevada and go, no, no. Stuff that comes in three days later doesn't count. No!

No, it has to be here by election day. If you're voting absentee, you know what day's election day. You know that you have to get your ballot there by election day. No, you can't send something in and count it three or four days later. That's crazy. I can't believe we have to do that. I can't believe this Gordon Nevada is like bad three, four days. That's fine.

That's not a secure election. No. Come on, folks. It's insane. It's insane. I will say this one was clearly better than 2020 because there were a lot fewer votes that that wasn't an accident. If you don't think that there's still some of these getting through. I guarantee it. Yeah. I guarantee it without question. And you see what's going on in Pennsylvania. They're doing their darnedest

Denson and Fuller 4141476 online at denson and Fuller.com. Almost a crime to talk over this intro, isn't it? But you did it. It's so long. I wasn't going to do it. It's so very long. You got it. It's so good. Yeah.

This has got to be close to 50 years old, and yet still just some of the best rock and roll you all over here. I never thought of sticks as prog rock. I always thought of them as more corporate rock, but some of this stuff was very complex, very, very involved. That being a perfect example. 721 with Dixon Aviting. Talk then at 9.5. Talk then at 9.5.com. Thanks for hanging out with us on this very rainy

Choose a lot of accidents out there. We're just going to blanket that and be careful, please. Yeah, take your time out there. It is nasty out there. Tell you what, it is a holiday time, folks. It is time to think about those on your list. And maybe this year, it is a boat. Yeah, you can go big. Go big with a boat from Rodney's Marine, the Suzuki-powered engines on the back of the Savannah Center consoles, the StarCraft, the Silverwave Pontoons. And also, don't forget if you own a boat right now.

It's time to think about winterizing that boat with Rodney's Marine. Absolutely. Listen, you buy that boat, that Suzuki powered boat from Rodney's Marine, for that special someone. He delivers it to any lake, any lake at all. Or driveway, if there's a trailer involved, right? Well, there should be a trailer involved because how else do you go and get it where you wanted to go?

Let's get it to the driveway for Christmas. We should point out all the boats are packaged deals. They come with trailers, okay, to get you from point A to point B. But if you have a little piece of property on the lake and you've been fishing off the dock, you've been hanging out there, you maybe get a little runabout or whatever, you're looking for one of these really nice Savannah Center consoles or these Pontoons or Tritunes they got out there. This is the perfect opportunity. You're going to find great in-house financing from these guys. And if you already have a boat and you just want to update it a little bit, whether it be up powering or putting new carpeting or new upholstery or

some accessories. Again, Rodney's Marine, the place to go. We swear by them, they are our Marine, and they should be yours as well. Rodney's Marine on Lake Logan Martin online, Rodney's Marine dot com. Check them out on Facebook as well. Let's do this thing, shall we? And now it's Dixon and Vining's top three things you need to know today.

Boy where to begin so very much Donald Trump confirms he's going to use the military for mass deportation if necessary and you've got some now Democrat governors who were like well We're just not going to follow his orders and we're not going to let him and rocket this that the other thing

oh that's a bad idea tom hollman new borders are said yesterday explained to me which politician thinks making their state or city safer is a bad idea because the first thing that you're going after is the criminal element you're going after the bad guys the ones have committed crimes the ones that these sanctuary cities did not put an ice detainer on they went right back out into public we've had countless stories of this over the past

year two years three years and what's interesting about this is the left stream media is invested in not telling you about this but there are times when they just can't help it they have to they have to tell you because it's news so when you hear about i don't know some illegal immigrants or migrants as they're being called now because they came in and claimed asylum even though they had no asylum claim

you know, beating the crap out of cops in Times Square, CNN has to cover the fact that they were charged, they were caught, they were charged, and then they were released. They have to cover it. So we're hearing all these stories and Tom Holman asked the right question. Explain to me how making your state or city safer would be considered bad politically.

which was a perfect thing to say because he's dead on. And these, these, these blue cities know this. They know that crime is up in these cities and a lot of it is because of the criminal element of illegal aliens that came into this country through the southern border. And there, again, it's, it's people from all over the world that are now in our country illegally. So, you know, blue cities think twice about this because you need of, of all the categories, you're the group that really needs to make your city safer. Absolutely.

and uh... to to say that you're not going to cooperate and that you're going to i don't know what you're planning on doing hiding the illegal immigrants different places putting them in different areas so you can't find them that's not going to help you it's time to clean up these blue cities and clean up the crime that is there explain to me how that's a winning i i protected the uh... criminal illegal immigrants that we're here i do you vote for me i don't know that's not as much of a chamois

New York City Marine veteran Daniel Penny returned to court yesterday for his manslaughter trial, third day of testimony. A couple of things took place there. You had Dr. Cynthia Harris with the Office of the City Medical Examiner, who mentioned the word homicide during the trial. The defense immediately moved for a mistrial. The judge was like, I don't think we're going to do that. We're not going to go with that.

But we also found out that Cynthia Harris did not actually check out the toxicology report before she decided, oh yeah, he died from asphyxiation. He had all kinds of synthetic drugs in his system we find out later, but we don't know whether or not they aided in his death because the official ruling came down before that. This whole thing has been a mess. Yeah, it needs to be thrown out. It's a mess from the day Alvin Bragg decided that he was going to charge this guy.

But look, I have a lot more confidence in this than I think many pundits that I've heard talking about how he's not going to get a fair trial because I believe that Jerry's written on the New York subway. They've dealt with these people. You dealt with these people. I have done. Yes. And I think that makes all the difference in the world. Absolutely.

You've got witnesses that say, you know what, I've used to have to ride that subway day in and day out. And I've seen it and I've experienced it. And I've wanted to do what Daniel Penny has done, but I was in fear of my life. And, you know, this guy, he's, he's, you know, a former Marine. He's a Marine vet. It was like, he knew what to do with his arms and his strength and his body.

to be able to protect himself and others on the train, and it's unfortunate that this guy died. His intention, I don't think, was to ever kill him, but he died, and he died protecting people on that subway. I mean, I would have hugged his neck and said, thank you so much for protecting us.

and doing what you did. I think hugging and neck is how he got in. Maybe not a chokehold. Maybe just a light hug. Just a little hug. Thank you. I would have hugged him. I would have said thank you. Seriously, the laws for defending other people are the same as self-defense. That is to say, if you felt that other people were in mortal danger of either serious bodily harm or death, stepping in to stop that individual 100% self-defense. That is, I hope, the defense that is going to be mounted here, which is happening. It starts, I believe.

today. Okay, we talked about this in the last hour. I think it's important enough to discuss again, Alabama State Representative Wandel and Gavin has pre-filed a bill that create an alert system dedicated exclusively to missing black individuals between the ages of 12 and 25 system, which would be known as an ebony alert would work exactly like an amber alert, which means your cell phone would go off and you would get this note. Hey, we're looking for this guy. Here's the your girl.

here's the uh... description of uh... and here's where we last saw them and here's what's going on i'm not a verse to this i understand and alerts an amber alert but they only go up to a certain age right now that goes for it goes from you know uh... newborn to eighteen yeah this is different because it's between the ages of twelve and twenty five yeah so once you're beyond being uh... eighteen an adult

Right. Are you have you been adopted? Are you just missing? What are we doing here? We've had a couple of instances here in the not too recent past, not too distant past, I should say, where African American, particularly women have been kidnapped. It didn't make the news until their bodies turned up. And it's like,

How did we

That's yesterday's news. We're not going to talk about that. I get it. I'm not saying that this thing should happen or that we should have an ebony alert. I think you just start getting into all kinds of different categories. I mean, why stop at ebony? I don't mean that in a negative way. I'm just saying, let's think about this whole cloth, what that looks like going down the road.

You should think about your foundation, Parrot Structural Services, ParrotSS.com, 668-2626.

All I know is somebody's line about who voted for Rick Scott. Who voted? Somebody? No. Who is it? We got to get to the bottom of that. Oh, it's a secret ballot. Did we stop with that? That's ridiculous. There never should have been a secret ballot for that.

And yet it was 735 with Dickson the Vining Talk, then at 9.5. Talk, then at 9.5.com. The rain is everywhere. It's everywhere. And it's nice to have, but not when you're on the roadways. Good Lord, please. I beg of you. I beseech you. I know you guys are in all kinds of problems out there. Slow down and drive carefully. It's everywhere. There are literally accidents on almost every major interstate this morning as we speak.

So a drink array doing the best you can back there, keeping you updated. And again, we'll let you know if things clear up a little bit here. I want to tell you about a guy. He's a good man. And there's no doubt about it. And both Richard and I have witnessed this on multiple occasions.

I'm talking about Chris at Green Garage. Love for you to go by Green Garage and introduce yourself to this man who has a fantastic business about getting things done to vehicles like domestic import, cars, trucks, whatever it may be. I've had my car service there and Richard just recently had a great experience too with Chris. I went in there and I

I said, look, you're the only guys who managed to figure this out. I've been on several forums about this particular issue because I could not figure out what it was. I called my friend who's like a car was he didn't know what it was. The guys that advanced all the parts did not know what it was because look, we just started wiggling stuff. I'm like, yeah, but you knew to do that.

Okay? You knew where the area that the problem was in. I said, nobody else knew this. Like, literally, I should go on these forums and tell people, stop wasting money with idiots who don't know what you're doing, because you're spending a lot of money and not fixing the problem. But the thing I found interesting about Green Garage, because he did this while I waited, which they don't do that often. Don't go in there and go, Dixon says you're working on it while I wait. No, they won't. I'm special. But there are three books in the waiting area. Are you ready for this?

for whom the bell tolls, by Ernest Hemingway. That says a little something. Coffee table book, Jonathan Winter's art. Okay, really interesting stuff if you get the chance to look at it. And a manual on desert army operations. There you go. I am not making this up.

Those are the three books that you will find in the waiting area. I went with a Jonathan Wintershire. Did you? Yeah, yeah. He's just terrific. And I'm telling you, so many people say, well, I don't know where to take my car when I have something going on with it. Or, you know, I just don't have somebody that I trust that can work on my car. Well, now you do.

Please trust us on this. Chris is who you want to go to. He has a team of talented guys that can work on your car or your truck. You just need to schedule an appointment. It's really easy. 205-383-2009. He's located in downtown Birmingham. Find out more at greengaragebham.com. He has a guy that can detail your vehicle. And Chris is also a locksmith, which Richard also took advantage of as well. I'm telling you.

He can do it all. When it comes to your automobile, car truck, take a degree in garage, greengarage, beham.com, or go to 383 2009. Do it. Come on, do it. OK, mistakes everyone makes when ordering food from Subway.

Mistakes. Mistakes. All right. People are making mistakes. When we go to Subway. When they own a food from Subway. All right. Apparently, it was the last time you had a Subway sandwich. It's been a long time because now I have a different favorite go to. Publix. Right? Yeah. It's between there and Jersey mics. Those are my two. I like Jersey mics too. And occasionally, if I'm out somewhere and I can't, I'm not anti. I'll eat out of Subway. My first couple of experiences with Jersey mics were very bad. And then I was at a station event not here.

where it was catered by Jersey mics. And those subs were out landishly good. And I was like, okay, I'm giving you another shot. And they've been great ever since. I was just like, those first two experiences could have ruined me. But anyway, subway mistakes that people are making when they order. Are you ready for this? Okay, give it to us. Not asking for your cookie to be microwaved.

If you're gonna eat your cookie on the scene, go, could you microwave this for me? They'll warm it up and it's like it just came out of the oven. Okay. Or so they tell me, I don't know. All right. How about allowing the mayo to be added to the sandwich last?

They will just, you know, they'll throw it right on the top of the sandwich instead of putting it on the bread. Like, if you were at home, would you not put the mayo on the bread? Exactly. I was asked for it very first before they do anything else. Now, they say... I guess I never realized they don't do that. I guess so. They say, I also ask them to take a knife and spread it around. I never do that. I kind of figure, that's going to get spread when they throw the meat on there. Right. But I would say, yeah, I mean, put the mayo on, put the mayo on, and I like the honey mustard.

Put that on, and I'm good to go. So if you're not doing that, you should definitely ask for that. For getting to add peppers and onions before toasting. Yes, I don't toast. I'm a cold sub girl. I'll do it either way. I've done both, and I like both. But when I do toast, I want the peppers and onions to be crisp. I don't want them toasted.

I want them to be cold and crunchy, you know? So I don't fall into this category, they're wrong. I'll fall into ask that the oil and cheese be added first, again, wrong. No, I say cheese, okay, but the oil should be on top of like the lettuce and the tomato when you get that. So it all kind of... If you're going to put the oil and vinegar on, which is basically you're putting some Italian dressing on it, which I love to do.

And based on the way you're doing it, cheese would go second after the mayo and or mustard. Actually, it'd be mayo, meat, cheese. That's the way I'd be willing to write. And then I do lettuce, tomato, whatever else you want on it. This is what you're looking for. Yeah. For getting that there is a method to the madness, I'm not even going to go into that. That's a big long involved thing. Being modest with the veggies. Yeah, I always say a lot of lettuce. And they grab a handful. There's more of another handful.

More, okay, there you go. Now you're in the zone. There's a, because I want a big crunch out of my sandwich and that's a good way to do it. The onions and the lettuce is a great way to make sure that you're getting filled up without getting a lot of calories, which is nice. For getting the Subway sells other items besides subs. You ever had their chopped salad?

No. They do a good chop salad. Really? Basically, it's like a sop without the ball. You hear my voice. I'm like, oh, I'm not sure about that. Oh, it sounds delicious. No. I don't think of a salad. They put it in a bowl and they have this chopper that's kind of rounded like the bowl. Right. So they'll put the meat in there. They'll put the cheese in there. They'll put the lettuce in there and the onions and the peppers, everything you'd put on a sandwich. And then they just kind of chop it up.

And then they pour it into one of their serving containers and they throw a little bit of the dressing on top. It's just like the sandwich except no bun. So if you're trying to keep the carbs low, that's a way to do it.

You aren't asking for fresh bread. Well, isn't it all fresh? I would think it's all baked right there. Why do I need to ask for fresh bread? If it's not fresh, don't be serving it. That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm thinking. Hello, Subway, eat fresh. Isn't that in their name? It's right there. It's in their little slug line. How are you? Failing to request that your footlong be sliced into smaller pieces. Now, normally they cut them in half, but I guess if you ask, you'd be like, could you cut them into three or four pieces for me?

I don't really need that. Well, if you're ordering a foot long at it in half, if you're ordering a six inch sub, I don't need a cut. Don't cut it at all, right? Because every time you do that, stuff comes out of it. Exactly. You want to keep it all in there. Look, sometimes when I get the foot long sub, I'll be really hungry. I'll be like, I need you to cut that into four pieces. I'm hungry enough to eat four pieces. But other times I'm not that hungry, but it's just two.

Sure. Whatever works for you mentally. Not the same. Not the same. That's in Richard's world right there. Yeah. Not knowing what you want to order. Oh my gosh. I could just, this is the problem anyway. This is the person that's using a check to pay for their groceries at the end of the grocery line. I'm like, oh, are you kidding? Or that the drink machine that had all the like 500 flavors in it and they couldn't decide what flavors they wanted. Oh my gosh.

I was at five guys once, and the line was long, but I was so in the mood for five guys. I was like, I gotta have this, I'm gonna wait, I can't. And there's a group of guys in front of me, and they're all chatting and talking to each other, and there's a rather large gentleman, Rotund, he's facing the

opposite direction from the counter and he's talking to his buddies and everything and the line is crawling and we finally get up there and this guy turns around and is like oh uh what do you have oh dude you have been in line for 20 minutes the menus right up there they sell six things order and get the hell out of the way tubbo tubbo okay

That is really frustrating, it is. How do you stand in line for that long? There's a line and you get your credit card out or whatever. You get ready to make so you can keep the line. The same thing like a Chick-fil-A drive-through, that person that pulls up and they don't know. You're like, come on. Let me think. No, don't. You've been in line for a while. You know what you want. Oh, I would have been. I would have been with you, Rich. Hurry up.

How about the old cut? Remember the V cut at Subway? Yes. They cut that ridge in it, and then they would put the meat in, and then they'd put the little meat. Yeah, that was... I didn't care for that. I didn't like that either. I did not care for that. That's a waste of time. Yeah, I was like, what are you doing over here? That's just not right. Assuming that you're eating healthy. No, if you're going to Subway, you're not eating healthy. They used to be all about the health, but then they're also like, double the meat and add some bacon. Why not some pepperoni? How about you put twice the cheese on there?

Hey, Tubbo, go to five guys. No. There's another Tubbo. Yeah. Now we're the Tubbo. And then going for white or wheat bread when they have so many other others. Oh, there's some really good bread. I'm not going to lie, I really like their wheat bread. I'm a big fan of their wheat bread. I'm probably every other time I go to Subway, I'm getting it put on wheat. Otherwise Italian herbs and whatever. Italian. Yeah, the one that has the cheese on it too. I like that. I like baked in cheese. Oh, God, that's good.

Mm-hmm. All right, there's some tips for next time you order it subway. Thanks. I'm happy to help. I think I'm doing it right pretty much already. Yeah, just make sure they put the Mayo on the bread. On the bread, right. That's the only thing you're doing wrong. I'm giving you notes. I'm giving, let me give you a few tips here. Yeah, the condiment, that condiment needs to go on the bread. I agree. Okay, so you know, Andrea Lindenberg's husband had a medical situation recently. I'm bringing that up because she made it public. Right. And he ended up in the hospital. Can we love you?

Throw that on to the mix. Boom, I put in the address, the credit card information, it's delivered the next day. It literally took me six minutes to say, I care about you, I'm thinking about you, it matters. And Valerie never paid me back. But the important thing here is- I'm still waiting for a return on.

Five, four, five, nine, nine, five, oh, Rod Stewart, I remember, do you remember Friday night videos? No? Not really. How about you, Steve? Remember Friday night videos? I do. Yeah. Friday night videos was hot for those of us who lived in markets that didn't get MTV, okay?

Friday night videos is what they put on in place of or immediately after Johnny Carson I don't recall which it was but they it was on NBC and it was in fact you if you can find the original version of Billy Joel's uptown girl he was sitting kind of in the little I don't know what you'd call it the parking attendant or the garage desk area and he's watching this miniature TV

and the start of Friday night videos is on there. The logo would come on and then the whole song begins. But I was watching Friday night videos when I saw the video for Rod Stewart's Hot Legs. First time I'd ever heard the song. First time I'd ever seen the video. Video looked like crap. It was shot on video rather than on film, which made it kind of bad.

But I thought, man, Rod's still got it. And he'd been around for a while at that point. Now, I don't know if he's still performing hot legs. I don't know if he can still hit the notes. I got to be honest with you. You look like a triad guarantee. But I tell you, the guy's got, he's got a list of hits as long as both your arms. And then he starts coming out with the Great American Songbook, right? Volume one, Volume two, Volume three, Volume four, Volume five.

Remember, we had an employee here no longer with us. I mean, literally she's no longer with us at all on the planet. Big fan of Rod Stewart. Had a huge poster of Rod Stewart in her office. I swear to God, she showed up and kissed it every day. She loved him. She loved Rod Stewart so much. I'm not that far down the road where Rod Stewart is concerned, but I'm a huge fan. Yeah.

What do we got, Steve? Patty from Birmingham. Patty! What do you got, Patty? Congratulations. Yeah, you're going to Rod Stewart and Sheep Trek. Go to see Rod Stewart at the new Coca-Cola Amphitheater. And beautiful downtown Birmingham, Alabama. Right there by the Uptown District. Once they get that thing finished, it's going to be absolutely awesome. Favorite Rod Stewart song you got one? It's probably Hot Legs. I love that song. I would say a couple of years later, I ran across a version

of it was him and Jeff Beck, and they were doing People Get Ready. Oh, so good. Tonight's the night, too. Also a great show. Yeah, I love that. You're in my heart, huh? A song that he wrote about soccer. Came across Forever Young yesterday, too. Oh, yeah, Forever Young, yeah. I always felt like he ripped off the Dylan song, but you know whatever. I'm sure if Bob Dylan didn't sue him, then he's probably good to go.
