Brian Marshall & The ROCK 108 Morning Show - Comedian Brad Upton
The Rock 108 Morning Show with Brian Marshall · Fri Aug 11, 2023
They have decided, Gen Z, that white tank tops from men should no longer be called white beaters, because obviously that doesn't play well, obviously in 2023.
The new term that they want to use, Russ, wife pleaser.
That's silly.
Isn't it?
It's just silly.
What's pleasing about it?
I have no idea.
I think if they are so offended by wife beater, let's just call them kid rocks.
Yeah, I like that.
That
works.
No, he works them all the time.
It sends the right message right away You know what you're getting into if you see someone walking down the street wearing a kid rock
Hey, look at that dude in the KR
Get on it Gen Z
does it only need to be the white tank top at this point or can it
be?
We'll be multicolored.
You know, I see sure full generation.
They say what if we're a rainbow?
What do you call it then?
Then you call it a husband pleaser.
So what is it about the under 30 that gets you running?
It's a lot of stuff, but I think it's low hanging fruit.
And, uh, hasn't it always been every generation?
I mean, when they came up with metal tips on spears, the stone tool guys were like, ah, these metal tips, they're not as good as the stone.
I sent my daughter a text a while back in the lab, you know, I put a TTFN and to show her how hip I was.
And then I wrote D A D.
And she came home.
She goes, what does DAD stand for?
I go, stands for dad.
She said, oh, I thought it was dumb ass dude.
Oh, geez.
I went, well, also stands for dumb ass daughter.
The
Rock 108 Morning Show.
Take legal advice from the offspring.
If you're under 18, you won't be doing any time.
I don't know.
I've seen a lot of people try it as adults.
Yeah.
Tyler Meyerhoff back on the show.
It's like you're here enough that I think you should have a cubby.
I think I should do.
Let's get
it rocking.
Just like a preschool, you know, where you get a place to put your shoes and your napping cot.
Yeah.
I definitely need to put a cot here.
You know, I, I, I, I'm a vagabond in a way.
You know, look at that word.
I haven't heard that come out yet.
How you been?
Good man.
I got sober.
I'm feeling good.
Yeah.
Decided to put that all behind you.
I did.
I, it was getting too much.
Yeah.
I can see that.
How long you been sober?
27 days.
That's awesome.
I know it.
I'd play the clapping noise, but you know, we can wait till you hit day 30.
You shouldn't clap for things that you shouldn't be doing anyway.
You got a show tonight.
You're the headliner at local noise comedy night.
The loft in Waterloo talked to me about it.
I am so excited for
the show.
I, uh, so I was just going to do comedy and do my act like normal, but about a month ago I was like, you know what that, that painful story show is really, really fun and really cool.
Got like a
Really a unique reaction from the crowd.
So tonight I figured I'd bring some of that back out.
Now, what is that for those that didn't get a chance to see it?
Um, it's basically, I just do some crazy weird stuff on stage where I hurt myself a lot and it's really fun.
The last time you had a list of things and there was like 40 things on that list, right?
It was quite a few.
Yeah.
So if
you've narrowed it down or
what have you done?
Tonight's not.
It's not centered around that.
I just brought a couple of the highlights out.
Like I'm going to bring the mousetraps out again.
I got, I got a new scooter.
Is that what you were asking for on Facebook?
There's a scooter.
Yeah.
I either got to keep the scooter or I stopped buying them every time I want to do this because it's getting expensive.
Is there anything specific with this scooter?
I just hit myself in the shins.
Oh God.
Yeah.
That made me hurt right now.
Think about it.
Um, one chip challenge.
Is
that involved?
No, I will never do that again.
Never again.
I don't want pooping anymore.
Cornfield.
So who else is on the show tonight at the loft?
We've got Dave Grant MC in the night and then we've got
the great and wonderful Oliver Schmitz, Alex Conyers, and my best friend, Matt Anderson.
How's Matt doing?
He's doing great, man.
He rebounded from chemo really well.
He's cancer free.
That's awesome.
He's got his hair back.
He's looking great.
He's a beautiful man.
Love it.
Yeah.
I love him.
Tyler Meyerhoff with us until 10 o'clock today with the show at the loft in Waterloo tonight.
How much is that going to cost you?
That is going to cost you guys nothing.
Are you serious?
It is free 99 free 99 Jefferson street downtown Waterloo.
Oh yeah.
Right across
from smitties.
Um, you had mentioned you had asked if I was playing any food fighters.
Why were you asking about that?
Well, I just,
I heard their new song and I'm really looking forward to this new album and I heard you're going to be playing one of the
They're new saunts right now, right?
I think we can.
Let's do it.
Oh, it's like these fighters.
This one isn't new.
It might as well be.
Oh,
it's Marshall's Marketplace on the Rock 108 Morning Show with your host, Brian
Well, getting this thing underway.
Good morning, Russ.
With our guests, comedian Tyler Meyerhoff has a show tonight at the Loft in Waterloo, Jefferson Street.
And it's a free show, right Tyler?
It is definitely a free show.
There's no excuse not to be there.
Yeah.
The loft is a place that a lot of metal bands play too.
Definitely.
So you're going to be a, you said this is part of your painful stories tonight.
Yeah.
Metal being introduced.
You know, I actually did want to do a metal show where the comedians dressed up like their favorite metal artist,
I was addicted to drugs at the time, so it never happens.
So today's Marshall's Marketplace, three items from Facebook Marketplace.
Tyler, you've been here before for this, but we're going to introduce a little wrinkle to this.
Yeah, because my theory is this is so tilted towards the player that they could flip a coin and still beat me.
So in this case Tyler yes, you're gonna control that American quarter over there.
I have the quarter What are we gonna settle on heads as higher tails is lower sure okay?
So the first item in Marshall's marketplace is a large family pod with stand in Nashua a Family blue pod makes a great outdoor play space for the family to play and relax it includes soft polyester cushion seat and galvanized steel hanging stand
Price is firm do not message me unless you plan to pay and pick it up within 24 hours of messaging a natural I've seen a couple families living in that when I was
in Austin.
I Hate type A posters who put all kinds of rules up.
Oh, yeah There's so much wrong with this picture.
First of all the artificially distressed rug in the foreground Secondly the toilet in the background.
Mm-hmm keep the door open.
I bet there's a floater
I have no idea what that means.
And what is a pod?
It's a swinging chair with a cover over it.
I mean, what is it?
I've never heard of a
pod.
Tyler, do you have any way to explain it to him other than it's the thing in the picture?
So it's like a tent?
But it doesn't
sit in the ground.
But you're suspended.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the bugs don't get on you.
Is that why?
Yeah.
You're not stepping the
needles.
I'm gonna say that this is- they're
looking for- is there a range today?
Yes, the range is going to be between $100 and $725.
I'm gonna say this is $129.
$129.
Tyler- Tyler Meyerhoff, our guest, can you flip the coin please?
Wow, that was a big flip.
We got heads.
Heads
for
higher.
Higher.
Higher.
Is incorrect.
Oh my
god!
Wow,
Russ is- What's the
price?
This is a hundred bucks.
All right.
All right, moving on to the next one.
A vintage McDonald's restaurant stained glass glass booth window from the 70s.
I remember
these.
That thing has memories.
This is very hard to find peace for the serious McDonald's collector measures 52 inches wide, 26 inches tall, two and a half inches deep and is in real good shape.
It does look that way.
Kind of looks like
a UFO.
It does look like a UFO.
Yeah, the Church of McDonald's.
It's like a church stained glass.
It's a McChurch.
Your McChurch confession.
Um, McPriest.
Um, I'm gonna say they're looking for 185.
185 for this.
185.
Tyler, can you flip the coin?
We got tails this time.
We're going lower.
Tails on this one.
Is incorrect So I guess I was wrong about my theory Cuz they listed it for 200 bucks.
You want to see if you can clean sweep the coin?
Yeah, all right the final item this one favor this one pop Tyler cuz this one is in Clemmie Russ in Clemmie my favorite town though the town of caveman and Terry It's a 1998 slash 2005 Chevrolet Lumina Lumina's Two heads.
Yep
They, uh, both cars were cut in half and put together for the county fair.
They ran great last fair.
Haven't tried starting since then.
Lots of fun to drive.
Uh, P.S., this vehicle is paid off.
Did you imagine getting a
loan for that?
They didn't close any of the wells.
It doesn't even look like it's been put together.
Yeah, it's done in climbing, man.
Well, yeah, I guess.
You got to go to Belmont to get it welded together.
This looks like why I took the prom.
Were you in the front seat or the front seat?
It was the back seat of the front.
I guess it doesn't matter at that point.
I love the bus with taking care of business stenciled on at the Elvis meme.
$287.
$287.
Can you flip the coin, Tyler Meyerhoff?
We've got heads we're going higher heads is correct So two to one Russ beats the coin Well, we now know I can beat a coin
flip
me the last time
I was
born loser More with Tyler Meyerhoff and Russ coming up on the Rock 108 morning show quote oh wait Brian Marshall joined by Tyler Meyerhoff and Russ in studio
So this one here today is interesting.
Gen Z doesn't want you to call a white tank top a wife beater anymore, Tyler.
I know it.
They try to take
everything from us, you know, just let the white trash be.
They have decided Gen Z that white tank tops for men should no longer be called white beaters because obviously that doesn't play well.
Obviously in 2023, the new term that they want to use Russ wife pleaser.
That's silly.
Isn't it?
It's just silly.
What's pleasing about it?
I have no idea.
I think if they are so offended by wife beater, let's just call him Kid Rocks.
Yeah, I
like that.
That works.
You know?
100% he works them all the time.
It sends the right message right away.
You know what you're getting into if you see someone walking down the street wearing a Kid Rock.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, look at that dude in the KR.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Get on it.
Gen Z. Get to get with the program.
Does it only need to be the white tank top at this point?
Or can it
be?
We'll be multicolored.
You know, I see a full generation.
What if
we're a rainbow?
What do
call it then?
Then you call it a husband pleaser.
Tyler Meyerhoff, headlining the loft in Waterloo tonight along with Oliver Schmitz, Matt Anderson and Alex Ganya's more with Tyler.
We can't top that coming up.
I think that could be number one nationally next week.
Oh, it's
serious.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
That's the best.
That's the best news I've heard today.
They're my favorite band.
They make me go Avertarded.
Avertarded.
That's Avertarded.
Have you seen the band life?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I saw them as McCoy's before they were famous.
Yeah.
How many people were at the show?
Like 30,
It
awesome.
It was the best cause they still put on a show like it was a stadium and they had like, they were the headliners.
So they had like a bunch of circus freak acts beforehand.
it was crazy.
It was, it was awesome.
Did Jesus have the same
face makeup as the singer?
No,
but you know,
he's Jesus.
He kind of does what he wants.
He's cool guy though.
Yeah, he's awesome.
He's been like the door guy forever and he was such, he's so cool.
Yeah,
shut up Jesus.
He's a rapper, a hip hop artist as well.
Yeah, Jesus
is.
He's good too.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, he does some good
stuff.
I saw him go up on stage with, I think, a legal smile a couple of times.
I don't believe it.
What else have you seen here recently?
I went to the clutch concert.
Did you?
Yeah, that was a day.
I saw that you might have had some
fun.
I had fun for sure, but my own kind of way, you know, I, uh, I realized I don't need drugs to get an argument with security guards.
Like I used to think that was what always those
cause was
because he was, he was so mean to people, man.
Like, all right.
So, you know how the amphitheater set up how they have like the, the.
rock that or the concrete barriers.
People were standing on them drinking and moving and having fun.
And he just did not like to see anyone have fun.
So he had to go yell at everybody on the concrete.
And so I started calling him some slurs after I saw that the first time cause I'd walk, he'd stand in front of the pit.
So I'd walk behind him and yell something not so nice behind his back.
And I think he heard me a couple of times cause I need to start eyeballing me when I'd walk.
So
I don't know clutch.
I just know the one song you guys play.
So I was standing in the pit and my ADHD started acting up and I was like, I'm just going to start dancing.
I just went and bought a Red Bull and then I would walk through the entire crowd all around and just dance in front of people and make them very uncomfortable because I'm not very good at dancing.
And I just was having a blast.
We're doing the right thing.
We get up with their
faces.
Yeah.
I was doing like the breakfast club dance.
You
know, like in Egyptian.
Yeah.
And so I made it my personal mission that night to just get under the security guard skin.
So I was doing the Egyptian walk on the concrete in front of them.
And he goes, either get down here on the grass.
So I just went to the little part of the concrete next to the grass and walked on that and just gave him the bird.
And then after the show, I made sure to call him some more, not very nice things.
And this is all
while you're sober.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was going to ask.
I just don't like authority.
I think that's what it is.
I don't, I don't like,
from your military days?
I don't know where it comes from.
I think I was born this way.
They're very East coast.
I perv.
Yeah.
I've been told I have a Boston
attitude.
