Brian Marshall & The ROCK 108 Morning Show - Mr. Taylor on The Show
The Rock 108 Morning Show with Brian Marshall · Tue Aug 13, 2024
It's a Rock 108 morning show.
You heard me last week talking a little bit about this particular situation where a kid named Chase McCoy, he graduated from high school in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
And a video of him showed that he was thanking his favorite teacher, Ms.
Sigmund.
And she made such a big impact on him in his junior year.
He surprised her with a tattoo of the note that she wrote him for graduation.
Now, I'll tell you this.
I'm probably not going to get anything tattooed on me.
And even though I'm 44 and supposedly an adult, I will address this man.
The only way I know how he was my social studies teacher back in high school.
Mr. Taylor, welcome to the Rock 108 morning show.
Hey, it's a pleasure to be here.
Thank you.
I'm sorry that I'm not getting that tattoo.
That's okay.
P one nation has to know, Mr. Taylor.
What was a young Brian like in school?
Probably I'm going to have back a little love here.
Probably one of my favorite.
student, what I love to do in my class is sometimes just entertain myself with some references to some pop movies, some hot, what I thought was we're hot singers named Debbie Gibson.
Like sometimes I would just throw things out there to make myself laugh.
And there was one kid in the back that would just roll his eyes and laugh every time I threw out a reference that I thought was just for me.
So I kind of appreciated that.
I don't know the origin of it, but why were there the naked farmers of America?
You know,
After our last conversation, I was thinking of that same thing.
And I think it was one of those references.
We were in geography class.
You were a freshman and we were talking about something and I felt like kids weren't paying attention.
So you throw out the word naked and suddenly everybody is back with you.
And I think that's where it started.
Um, just a reference to some people farming and they were naked.
So it became the naked farmers of America and, uh, we're successful.
And I think I got everybody's attention back.
Well, you did then and I have.
held on to that over the years.
I mean, now at 44, what am I?
Freshman would have been 94.
So we're looking at 30 years removed.
What did you think I was going to grow up and do if you can go back and feel free to just open up on me if you want.
Stand up comedian.
How's that?
I don't think you ever had to discipline me in a particular case, but probably had to tell me to shut it down a few
times.
or cool your jets a couple of times, I think.
Yeah, you knew where the line was and you'd run up to the line and see if you could tiptoe over it a lot in class.
I think with your answers, your projects, same thing.
You brought in your humor, your personality, and yeah, that's pretty cool.
That's what teachers try and do is try to open up all these boxes.
Sometimes, you open up Pandora's box, think a couple of times, I called on you not knowing what the heck you were gonna say, but it always added to the class.
Mr. Taylor, he was my social studies teacher in high school.
This isn't just about me, though.
I'm talking about 30 years.
How long have you been a teacher?
This will be years 32.
Did you ever imagine you were going to have a career in teaching for that long?
No, no.
In fact, it was supposed to be a one-year contract because they were kind of desperate at the time.
They needed somebody next week.
And so I got a phone call and said, can you be here tomorrow?
And I was just happy to have a job getting out of school because I had a lot of bills, a lot of money that I owed for student loans and things like that.
And I just wanted to work.
And so this one year, one year trial turned into my life.
It's home.
My kids have got to my kids have gone through the school system.
I have an eighth grader yet to go through.
But yeah, it's been fun.
Well, no, wait a minute.
Did you just say you had little gremlins, something that you said you would never have back in high school?
Well, you really listen in class, don't you?
I see a lot of things in class.
Nothing I buy you.
Yeah, I have three kids.
Take a look at this.
How has students changed from 95 to today?
I'd say there's a lot of the same.
I mean, kids are kids.
You have the kids in there that if I say today's social space test is going to be number one through 10, they would just say, OK, and do it because they just do whatever you say.
And then you have some that will say, well, how do I pass?
how many numbers I have to write down just to get 60% because I need, I need to be minus.
Um, so, you know, everywhere from the top to the bottom in that sense, but otherwise I think kids have a lot more going on right now with their social media.
They're connected to things that are hard to control to kind of, you know, keep them safe or keep them on the right way.
So there's a lot more that we as teachers are doing right now.
The teaching is still happening, but the counseling is probably at the forefront where kids just want to be heard or kids just need to.
know that someone cares.
So that's kind of like, yeah, I still teach history, but a lot of times it's meeting the kids at the door and then just getting them feeling comfortable.
What advice do you have for teachers right now that might be listening to the show today?
Hang in there.
Hang in there.
Your first couple of years are rough because you know as much as the kids or if you have a kid named Brian in your class, he knows more than you.
Hang in there and it gets easier and it gets better.
And then the joys of it are awesome when you find out what kids are doing after they leave you and they go down the road and they become a great adult or they start doing life correctly.
I would stay with it.
We need teachers right now.
We do.
And obviously underpaid, sometimes underappreciated, but I wanted to at least say to you that what you had done for me and putting up with that dinkus in the back of the classroom helped me
to make who I am as the man I am today here on The Rock 108 Morning Show.
So I thank you for that.
That's pretty cool phrase.
That's gonna carry me through my next week.
That's really cool to hear.
Oh, just the next week.
Okay, that's fine.
Yeah,
just the next week.
Mr. Taylor, thanks for being on the show.
Thank you, Brian.
The Rock 108 Morning Show.
My wife is going on a trip this week.
She is going to Hawaii with her sister.
They're taking a girl's trip to Hawaii for 10 days.
Here's the thing.
She's beautiful and skinny.
I'm fat.
And so I don't want to go to the airport.
She thinks like I'm missing out.
These are top five accurate airport announcements.
Number five, if you see unattended luggage, finders keepers.
Number four, smoking is prohibited.
Unless you vape, then just sneak it in the bathroom.
Number three, please have your boarding pass ready if you are too old to figure out how to use your phone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't see like grandpa coming through with the long paper receipt like he just left high V. Number two, this is an announcement for passengers on Spirit Airlines.
Your flight is canceled.
Please get ready to fight the staff.
And the number one announcement, more accurate announcement at the airport.
If you're running through the airport, trying to make your flight to Paris, you may have left your child home alone.
Yes!
Any home alone reference is always a good one.
It's the latest from wage war called magnetic on rock 108 you think you got it bad We're starting off on a Tuesday and in this case You're waking up this morning.
Just like ah gotta go to work got to deal with this deal with traffic Well, maybe somebody has it worse and in this case Tom Garland's gonna make fun of them friend of the show Thank you.
I appreciate that you're here early You ready for this one?
Yeah, hit me
A mother wants a refund from the movie theater because she says that the Deadpool and Wolverine movie traumatized her kids.
Kids.
Mm-hmm.
She took her kids to Deadpool and Wolverine.
That was a mistake.
You think?
Yeah,
that was bad.
Have you seen the movie yet?
No, I haven't.
But I don't have kids to traumatize either, you know.
So here's her.
And what she says that she wants to do, take a listen to how old her kids are.
Here we go.
Dad pulled in Wolverine, ruined my kids and here is why.
Took the family to the movies yesterday to see that movie because everyone was talking about it.
And, Mamas, let me tell you, guard your hearts, protect your little ones.
I have contacted the movie theater to get a refund because my kids were definitely traumatized, ruined and emotionally damaged from that movie.
So I want to get my money back.
My 120 month old could not stop talking about all of the horrendous things she had seen.
They also truly believe in multi-universe and have been trying to kill each other because there is obviously another replacement somewhere else and all they need is a time machine.
When we know in fact our Lord and Savior, baby Daddy Jesus is the only one that holds the time in his hands.
So there is no such thing as time machine or multiverse, metaverse, whatever it is that it's called.
Look, Doc Brown built a time machine out of a DeLorean!
There was a lot to unpack there.
Yeah, okay, so let's break it down.
Now that you hear that she had a 120-month-old child.
Which is a 10-year-old, right?
That sounds right!
If you're not insane, you'd just call it a 10-year-old.
Yes!
I also like that she said, like, I have contacted the movie theater.
That's what you'd have to do, because there's nobody working there.
You
know, it's
like...
Yeah, half these places you just like scan your phone and walk it like right you can't the days of like I
want a
refund or done They're like yeah, you can send us an email that will never read You know like try and get a refund from uber or something like that.
That's never happening They just they've got you
so how about the fact that she?
She mentions that there are no time machines and only baby daddy Jesus can do this Yeah, maybe she thought
our rated stood for religious.
I was you know big R or whatever
I don't it's all about expectations if you expect something different than what they sell or what it is then that's you know if I go to church and I leave there and I'm like well that was too preachy you know I didn't expect him to be that preachy like well that's what you went to you know if I go to the shooting range and I'm like oh that they're really violent there
That's a violent place.
You went to a shooting range, you know, you took your kid to church, took him to the shooting range, you know.
Took him to Deadpool and Wolverine.
Took him to Deadpool and Wolverine, just a little head turn.
Also, the kid, they're like, she's like, my kids are trying to kill each other.
I think that's on you.
Yeah.
Take the sharp objects out of their room.
Maybe that would be the start to that.
Yeah, stop letting them
have the butter knives on their hands like Wolverine.
Yeah, butter knives.
They're running around trying to wear really skin tight outfits and
Take each
other out.
She sounded.
I didn't mean to be.
This might sound bad, but she sounded.
She didn't sound completely.
She sounded foreign.
I'm just going to say that she sounded foreign.
I feel like this might be her first American movie experience in general.
Oh, like she's like everyone is talking about that.
I wanted to go see the movie.
I just wanted to see what everyone is talking about.
Like everyone was adults talking about it.
Yeah.
Like the kids weren't talking about it.
Maybe they were.
I don't know.
So maybe the next movie she should go see is... what, it all ends with Blake Lively?
I feel like...
I feel like she, like, she needed to go see, like, Minions or something like that.
Oh no,
can't have Minions, cause those things, they like bananas and farting.
Yeah, that's like mischief, you know, comic mischief, but... Now my kids are just farting on each other.
My 120 month old does pink eye.
120 month old.
Psycho.

That means Marshall's Marketplace.
You ready to go?
I am ready.
All right, here we go.
It's Marshall's Marketplace on the Rock 108 Morning Show with your host, Brian
Marshall.
And I thought that you should be able to take on someone today, a special guest who is turning 18 today.
And I can't even believe it.
Oh, one of my favorite daughters from the air staff.
There you go.
Uh, Izzy, morning.
Good
morning.
Brian's daughter, Izzy.
That's right.
Happy birthday and welcome to The Rock Whatta Wait Morning show.
Thank you.
At 8 at 18.
I got a cupcake and a revocation of my house keys Wait, what they just pulled them right there.
Yeah, give me the house keys back.
Oh, go out and find a job.
Did you get a cupcake this morning?
No Okay, so at least your house keys are still in your hands for now right now.
All right We're playing Marshall's marketplace Russ versus Izzy this one nothing will exceed $133.50 three items from Facebook marketplace
Izzy knows how to play the game Obviously since she's my daughter.
She's taking on Russ.
Let's see how this goes.
Let's start with the first item a vintage 90s Motorola pager an air-touch flex pager see-through cranberry color with case and belt clip I was the one and only owner it's in mint working condition and takes one AAA battery Russ first to you
so if Izzy doesn't know these are the things your weed dealer would carry on his belt
No, no, no
And you would send your number to him and he'd see you and he'd call you back and put your order in.
Oh, Motorola air touch flex pager.
I mean, do these things even?
It says it works, but don't you need a service behind it?
That's what I was thinking,
too.
There has to still be pagers.
I mean, within the medical field, they use them, but that's
do they
don't they use them within the
hospital itself?
Yeah, maybe like when you or when you go to wait in line at a restaurant.
Yeah, they have the little paging system All right, I'm gonna say this can't be worth the whole lot and see it's it's it's the size of a half a deck of cards I'm gonna say they're looking for $38 for this
pager.
All right, so easy to you higher or lower than $38 Lower she says lower and lower
Incorrect!
How much do
they want?
50
bucks!
Oh my god.
Russ leads one to nothing.
Yeah, but we both got hosed on that one.
Who would pay 50 bucks for that
thing?
Let's move to the next item.
A blue light therapy lamp.
This one available in Verroqua, Wisconsin.
My handsome son sporting our old light therapy lamp.
It works.
But it needs two new lights.
He's making the old face in the picture and
I
don't know why He has like the the the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas bucket hat
on his
head.
Yeah,
it's bad country
I mean are these tanning lights?
They're blue.
It's a therapy
lamp.
Yeah blue light therapy lamp
They're they're big tall standing blue fluorescent lamps mm-hmm with cages in front of them They look like they'd be good for attracting bugs mm-hmm
You see, I'm going to say that they're looking for $100.
There's three of them.
So I'm thinking $33.33 each.
So $100 for these three therapy lamps.
All right.
So Izzy, my daughter, it's your 18th birthday.
To you, higher or lower than $100?
I would say lower because you did say that there is some broken life.
Yeah, one of them
looks broken.
Lower final answer?
Lower lower is correct.
Bam.
$80.
$80 tied up.
Good one.
It's a one to one and rubber game of the match.
This is also something you might not know about a set of 12 uranium coupe glasses, a cool set of depression era uranium stained coupe or sherbert glasses.
I do know about these.
I also know they're highly collectible.
They actually use radioactive materials in the glass making and they're still a little bit radioactive.
Oh, good.
You put them under a black light and they glow like crazy.
Oh, wow.
Cool.
Yeah, these these glasses are pretty cool.
What's the upper price today?
It is one thirty three fifty.
Let's say they're looking for a buck twenty five.
One hundred twenty five dollars to you is a higher or lower.
I'm saying maybe even a little bit higher.
Final answer.
Yes.
Final answer, higher.
Incorrect!
I beat you on your birthday!
On your
birthday!
Damn!
See now
I
feel so bad, I was
hoping it was a good win.
$105 is what they have this set of 12 uranium glasses listed for.
1057, mix.
Yeah, there you go.
Izzy, I'm sorry, but you will still get...
the certificate suitable for framing, saying that you lost on your birthday to Russ on Marshall's
marketplace.
You're a loser.
It's the, how does it
feel?
It feels, I don't know.
Okay.
I feel fine.
Here's where we can, uh, we can make it feel just a little bit better.
I wanted to say something to you on your 18th birthday that you have grown up.
You've grown up and I'm very proud of the woman that you've grown up to become, that you finished high school.
Without having to have any issues whatsoever and that you're ready to hop into the workplace both feet and ready to go
Yeah, and you know is he in a lot of ways you're more mature than your dad.
