He was I can get hit and I don't go down because you know I I run
over people.
It's kind of my thing.
You know what I told him?
And I thought off the air here.
I'm going to give you one word of advice.
Well, you read that.
I read that.
Be the baddest person in the cell block when you walk in.
No.
Okay.
We got ticks here.
We the listeners are not happy when Todd is not at the wheel.
Another one here.
John is trying to stir the pot.
All right, no way.
My note, your disrespect of Todd is not cool.
I may have to rethink hiring you for simple life hospitality.
He's high Todd.
not even joking about he's hiring me as an inspector.
told us yesterday.
so you and I had a conflict already.
Todd was a part of this Yeah, I
Okay, but how funny is it he had the exact same type of altercation as I did exactly the same Oh, they in the park with the pack backing
The reason we agreed on that same multiplication is we both apologized.
Yes.
And then they didn't accept it.
Yes.
They're like, you next time I'm going to take your head off.
It's like, what did you just say?
Yes.
So then I go over there and then that was like crazy.
I mean, it's she's like, Jim, you got you got to retire.
OK.
But the other thing, though, to the other thing, OK, Michael says the paperwork is in the mail.
But here's another thing, Jim.
know you take so much pride in your food.
check
first.
I, you take so much pride in your food.
I don't like, I like cooking.
No, I don't.
Your buns weren't good.
was great.
hey you guys should be proud of me No, this is this is one month today is one month since my surgery
Since the doctor who, I think he's a doctor.
He used a can opener on my face to get rid of the cancer instead of a scalpel.
about six months
So I'm not wearing a bandage.
But he used a candle to ruin my face.
I'm no longer handsome.
was good looking.
You know when Christian walked in yesterday, it's like, my God, this looks like looking in a mirror
I wasn't?
He is.
Wow.
going back to your, okay, you brought in food.
Buns are so...
burger.
They
so disappointed.
Let me tell you about what people do.
You want the mistake with buns is too much bread and then you miss out on the burger.
Those they were perfect.
They were baked.
I talked to the lady.
Anyway, they they were and John was complaining this morning because those buns were bad because they were too short.
Like, okay, John, I was a foot long hot dog.
Maybe the hot dogs were too long, you know, for that bun and I wasn't going to get a foot long bun because it's too much bread.
Those are perfect.
You know what I'm gonna do for you next time.
I'm gonna cut the hot dogs in half And just then you know how
many people texted me said your party was disappointing
anyway
Anyway,
expected more
welcome.
Got texts here, uh, professional boxing coming to you, Oshka Arena.
Let's go.
That's from Skylar.
Let us know more about that.
Um, I
I was, I was, okay, I never break.
I mean, not really.
Look at Todd.
He just looks away.
like I don't go to church and talk to priest
priests a
funny.
I gotta tell you something.
I
So Father Baghetto, up in Espring, St.
John the Evangelistist, whatever.
Okay.
What is it?
I told you, I think I'm related to him.
Remember I showed you that?
St.
John.
The Baptist.
Remember?
don't.
So anyway, I told my brothers, Father Baghetto used to have the longest sermon.
I mean, like 40 minutes.
I'd get up and I'll never forget my dad one time.
We're coming to go to go to a pet.
No, we were going rabbit hunting.
It was a Sunday morning priorities.
And yeah.
And after it was six o'clock mass, okay.
Remember six o'clock masses in the morning.
Yeah.
Sunday morning.
Yeah.
And we go up and we go up in the priest, Father Brigadiel comes in and he goes, hey, how are you doing, Jimmy?
And my dad tore into him and put his finger to his... about how lying his sermon was, because we had to go rabbit hunting.
I'll never forget that.
He threw out the G.D.
word to the priest, but how lying his sermon was.
um had you know the priest go out there and he lectured him one time and said you remember when you were a little boy sitting in church and he told them to hold the homilies to like what do you say 12 minutes 11 minutes or something like that so these guys who go 20 25 minutes they're kind of going a little bit against the boss a little bit absolutely
You know, I think people, you know, and you've taken some classes on giving talks, they kind of check out after 10 minutes.
Yeah.
But
I agree.
Cause I think people, especially.
Sunday, okay, let's
brother's a priest so I'm not putting down the whole priesthood
Yeah, but sometimes they like hearing themselves talk
didn't become a priest.
I heard they had like a thing a newsletter type thing that they could use.
Well, they yeah, they have um, you know
okay, I'm gonna be honest
would have given
nominal homilies
I would have given unbelievable it's a homily the same as a sermon
okay I would have given great
was an altar boy I learned in Latin
are they?
like Todd's music.

No, the executive the legislative electoral Anyway Judicial right judicial yeah, yeah, how many Supremes do we have in the United States

Yeah.
You know, Todd, there's probably some sixth grader that said the exact same thing today.
You want to read that, Johnny?
No, you go ahead.
Did John really say that Electoral is one of the three branches of government and that we have 12 justices?
I'm sorry, isn't this civic media?
Get it civic, John?
Civic, like civic lessons?
Perhaps civics class is in order for Johnny.
Yes!
I had the whooping cough.
Which made me miss a lot of school.
Alright, you missed that.
Okay, because that, you only learn it once.
I mean, it's irrelevant.
Happy Wednesday to you today is Beatles as in the Beatles Todd
Yep.
Okay.
There is nothing that will Peel people more than if I say what I actually feel
it overrated
want to say, hate.
OK, I had very curly hair.
Oh, I had.
You know what?
One of my buddies actually texted me, said to me, OK, OK, Todd, yeah, I'm going to show you a picture.
I want to know if you're impressed.
He was on a show a couple of times.
They came out the first day, three sets.
You know, they have the original with the black tuxes, and then they do the yellow submarine, and they do, I don't know what else, the third I left.
The crowd was going crazy at that first part.
Jim was completely impressed with
that.
cool.
Cool.
Let me see your pictures from.
Yeah, Jim.
wrestling.
Yeah.
Thank you, Todd.
Thank you.
pictures.
Yeah.
I don't want to see if it is wrestling tights.
My onesie.
Your onesie.
Today's also catfish day.
I got to tell you something.
This is no lie, Jim.
That catfish dinner I had at your homeless shelter that day.
was incredible
the seasoning
thought yeah I thought that seasoning was
called cat fishing somebody
oh this yeah
right um
goat cheese
fan oh god serious Todd yeah Todd will like it he's an old german guy
goat cheese?
like the sourness of it.
too.
But
almost didn't come in one day last
I was sick twice.
I threw up all night.
This is, okay.
This is so, why would he even say this?
Okay, Ryan, of course you don't eat, but he's allergic to everything.
But when you do eat, do you ever check the dates like on your milk or cottage cheese or what else?
You know, anything.
You do.
Okay, so, all right, so that, and John got sick, like, and he threw up, had to go get pepped up in his mouth like 11 o'clock at night, drive around, find a store.
And he, cause he ate Greek yogurt.
Greek yogurt, have you had that?
Okay, it's got kind of a sour taste anyway.
But it's still dated bigger than life.
It says right on the side expiration date, you know, whatever seven one or But he ate it because he thought well it It didn't taste a lot different and I'm not saying it didn't I was kind of to defend you a little bit in the beginning because they said it does have had the sour taste I get vanilla yogurt.
I don't I don't like just plain yogurt.
But anyway, so he ate it and it was like expired Well, right?
That's what got you sick John
No,
But I you wouldn't think yogurt would spoil because it's basically spoiled milk or something or
Yeah.
did wrong, though, too?
I'll
didn't have the lid on.
when it gets air.
Yeah.
It's probably the right date, wrong year.
OK.
All I'm saying is, OK, so back up on this whole thing.
So goat cheese day, it tastes like bad cheese.
it?
Right?
It's
pretty cheap
goat cheese no but that was yeah that that would make good toasted cheese oh yeah
It smelled really nice.
Yeah, I
how.
And government cheese.
family, my mom and dad used to call it Reagan cheese, because that's when Reagan was giving out free cheese.
That made a great
was Reagan.
Really?
I know my political.
Color TV day.

How old were you when you got Color TV in your family's house?
Oh, wow.

You got a color TV.
We got a color.
I was 19 years old, maybe 20 years old before we had a color TV.
How about you?
Yeah, I know before that.
It was so exciting.
unbelievable.
I used to go over my anti-Mimi's to watch Bonanza because that was in color.
There was one of the first shows in color.
And it's like, I would have the, you know, the mountains and everything.
bet there's a lot of people out there that did not get color TVs until the 70s.
color TV day.
Terry says the drug years for the Beatles best music.
That's kind of true You know what I mean when they started getting in that's

Okay.
So tell me again who Sonya Sotomayor is.
She is a on the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
I guarantee you I'll get it right.
Okay, what is the, okay.
Go ahead.
The Supreme Court is supposed to be nonpartisan.
Yes.
They're supposed to just look at the laws of the state.
It's taking a little different trend.
What, if you look at the Supreme Court, what is the makeup of Supreme Court that comes to leaning left or right Republican Democrat?
What do you mean?
What do you mean and like what their personal feelings are or what it has to be or what do you mean?
I don't know what you mean.

He likes duck hunting day or not.
I went duck hunting with him.
And he knows you did not.
And then he- You didn't know that.
I know the people he went duck hunting with, and I never heard your name come up in that duck hunting group.
I didn't want publicity.
Okay.
Anyway, Ryan, this guy's a Supreme Court Justice, very, very popular, young guy.
And I actually sat next to him on the plane, both up front.
but he did wear headsets.
Is that the
worst thing sitting next to somebody in a plane when they want to talk?
Is there anything worse?
Well, there's no you cannot escape.
Yeah, I sat next to Larry Flint one time.
Kelly here says happy anniversary loyal listeners since the very beginning.

May I reference the great Wisconsin State Tree fiasco a few weeks ago?
Current and fourth grade teachers everywhere shuttered when Jim Schmidt announced that the state tree was the white pine.
