We're doing this until 11. Here's the producer. The angel of the moon, angel of air. Go look up. And the king of the man Ryan home. Boom boom. Good show. Boom boom. Good show for you today, sir. It is already Thursday, which is awesome. We can. I finally, I took a whole week off yesterday with the gym. I should have gone in, but I didn't always had I always came up with an excuse every

4:20day because I on Wednesday. Remember last Wednesday I was out and because I had to take my wife for a procedure. She went in. She had the procedure was successful. Everything was wonderful. That was all good. But then on the next day, Poppy D, my trainer, he couldn't make it. So those two days I didn't have to work out. The other days I should have, but I didn't. So as a whole week without it. And then back into the gym yesterday. And man, that first time back when you take a little time off, sort of sucks. Yeah, but you got to keep the motivation. You got to find something that keeps the motivation. Some people, you know, they do before and after picture. I think if you just kept in your wallet, your big ass wallet, a picture of your cousin in it. I just got a lot of money to keep you going to keep you motivated. Know what you're working out for. I asked my mom, you know, for those that didn't hear yesterday show, it's a whole thing. So probably too much to explain right now. You probably have to go back and listen. Not very soon, but restaurant bang is cousin when he was young. End of story.

5:21I was seven. She was 20 anyway. I heard her for her. And I didn't know. I didn't understand all the cousin stuff back then. Anyway, we talked to my mom on the area yesterday. And I tried to get home. My mom said, do we still have Rhonda's number? You know, like she's still alive. I'd love to cry and have her call in. Hey, you up round her for her perspective. I mean, she'd be 80 something now. So I mean, you still would. So it's Martha Stewart and I would hold on. Oh, see, I'm 61 and she was, oh, no, she was only 15 years older than me. So yeah, she's in there. Yeah. Well, 15, 16, 76. She's 76. Yeah. She's 76. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you see in recent Martha Stewart and her talking about releasing her nudes with that woman's like 80 something. Did you see that? Did she like the thirst trap picture of her like kissing the lens and trying to get all sexy? Hell yeah. Let me try to get out. 25 year old Martha Stewart. That smash it all day if I was a single man. What year early? Yeah. So with the call of Rhonda, she looks like she's sort of snotty to me.

6:24How? Rhonda. No, no, no, no, no, Martha Stewart. Martha Stewart seems chill AF. Okay. Well, you know what? You know, if we're running, she's been to prison. She hangs out with Snoop Dogg. What is snotty about this woman? You know what? If we're competing for her, you can have her. Okay. She's yours. She's all yours. All right. No, it takes you back. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I get back into gym again today after yesterday and I had to do like more weight and all that kind of stuff. Having a trainer makes you do stuff you don't want to do. But then when you're done, you're glad you did it. You get that Elvis, baby. Just think about that. Elvis. I know. I got the Elvis shake yesterday without the banana because I'm thinking, well, banana gives you calories and let's get rid of a little bit of the calories. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, because the banana is a good part because there's also chocolate and peanut butter in it. I can't keep chocolate and peanut butter. I just got rid of the banana. Yeah. It gives you potassium when you made with it. Helps with a crampress. So you're saying that I got rid of the only healthy part of the shake. The most healthy part.

7:24Well, why don't you just get rid of it like somebody do? Get rid of the protein too. Replace it. Wouldn't that look good? Fine. I literally in my head thought, you know what? I don't need the extra calories of the banana. You know what the hell? So let me get rid of the banana. I said, give me the Elvis shake without the banana. She did look at me funny. I'm like, also you just want to talk with me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you take creotine? I do not. I don't. Creotine makes you gain weight. I don't need to gain weight. No, I thought no, creotine makes you lose the weight. No, I thought it makes it get through to the water weight. I thought, now listen, I don't know everything. I thought creotine kind of swells up your muscles. It puts more water in your muscles, swells your muscles up. Yes, it'll let you up and make you gain weight. No, it just makes you look muscles look better. But there's a report that came out yesterday to talk about how creotine, not only just like is good for working out, but it raises your brain energy levels and slows Alzheimer by 30%. Wait a minute. Are you sure? Okay. Now listen, I'm not saying that you're not right.

8:26This is what I casually thought I heard someone say that the creotine basically fills your muscles with water and then you're gonna, when you get on the scale, you weigh more. Yeah, but it's water weight. It's not that way. That's true. So water weight goes away. As soon as you start taking creotine, that stops. See, I'm always focused on what the scale says, but only because when I used to wrestle, that was the most important thing. You got to weigh in and how much do you weigh. But really, it doesn't matter if you get water weight and you look better. I guess it doesn't matter. Yeah, but the only thing like that. Okay, I'm gonna get some creotine. I'm almost double up creotine. But yeah, get the muscles to slow down all the time. No, it's good for you. It's good for you. It's good for you. It's good for you, though. Right, Angel? Like, I'll look thicker if I'm all creotined up. Well, if you use the way that you're supposed to use it. So in the sense of like the ancillary effects like Ryan's talking on is something that will help throughout the day. Yeah. But if you're creotine, usually you would take a hit of it or whatever right before you go to workout. Yeah, and it's good for your muscles to have them filled with water. Yeah, so it's like a, it's, you know, I added like if you're a person that takes a pretty workout, you added into their pre workout.

9:26You definitely, you would, you would use it pre workout as post workout. See what I'm trying, what I feel like I'm trying to do is to thin out a little bit. Yeah, but you got to stop thinking about wrestling because like, A, muscle weighs more than fat. So it's actually better for you, but you are going to weigh more and B, you're not wrestling anymore. The only thing you're wrestling with is your heterosexuality. Stop it. Listen, I'm straighter than you are. No, you're going to go see practical magic too. I'm not, not only are you going to go see it, you're excited to go see it. I'm going to take my wife who I will, you know, give me a little extra, you know, if I take it, uh, the, uh, the, uh, no, no, but you're excited to see the movie. You really like the first. Okay, you know what? I will not lie to you. I like the first movie. And there was a, and there was a, and there's an unanswered questions that you're from a practical magic one. Uh, questions in your own mind and practical magic too. Okay, well, I can't wait to get the rest of you. What's happening with the kids, you know, the kids grew up, are they, but they're, uh, they're, they're loved ones.

10:28People they fall on a magic aid. Are they going to kill their, uh, their husbands? I don't know yet. We got to see you from the movie. All right. Well, let's go get your creatine and go watch practical magic real quick. So creatine is good or bad? It's good for you. And then we're getting a lot of conflicting, uh, texting. And I think that's what's adding to the confusion. But if you take a second and do the, like they've got, reaching today is a lot better than it was. Let's say a decade ago, oh, more than 83 when I was taking it. What they're talking about the weight game, dude, it's basically, it's, uh, two to five hours. Yeah. And it hydrates your muscles. Yeah, it's not something that, you know, uh, or, or, I'm sorry, two to five pounds. It's not something that's going to be, uh, you know, I don't want any, I don't need five more pounds on me. Oh, guys, water, wait, you'll be fine. You'd stop worrying about the number on the scale. You're working out. You're going to gain weight just from muscle mass. So creatine before you work out, yeah. Good. Yes. Yes. I will, I will, I will, I will, I will run this past poppy D and say what he says. I'm surprised you don't.

11:28You love supplement. I mean, if I think you listen, if I take a supplement and in my mind, it's working, right, then I'm good with it. But like, you know, I mean, I'm just going to get on with this, uh, uh, tricep a tide and then would go be and what I was like, I still, like yesterday, I had that burger and I shouldn't have wanted that burger. You know, the, and we would think chef can, I don't know if I should, those are good burger. They were great burgers, but I shouldn't have, you know, I saw you eat three of them. I ate one, but I shouldn't even wanted to eat the entire burger. I should have just wanted a couple bites of them and like, I'm good because the will go be or the tricep a tide should make me feel so sick. I don't feel like eating, but it's not working. Oh, no, like, like I can eat right now. Like I was going to offer to buy you guys breakfast this morning because I'm, uh, yeah, absolutely. Let's go. Let's go. Do you guys want to me to lose weight? You can eat it lose weight. You need to eat breakfast. That's probably why you're not losing weight. You're not eating, you know, I'm sorry. I'm not going to buy breakfast more. Yes. You're not eating enough. You're not eating enough. You need to be eating like five to seven times a day protein, right?

12:28Just protein, like baking a eggs. No, and fiber. I don't want any fiber. You got to eat fiber. That's the other study I saw yesterday. Half of all cancers and people under 50 is colon cancer. And it's mostly because no one's eating fiber. My colon's fine. Mine wasn't though. That's crazy. That study was nuts to watch that yesterday because it was like, is it half of people under 50 get colon, in half of all cancers of all cancers of people under 50s colon cancer? And it's in colon cancers happening earlier because they're not getting checked by 45. And I just happen to get checked. I paid out a pocket to get checked. And if I didn't by the time I would be 45, I would have full on on cancer. So back to your, your, your, your, what's the kid I'm taking your advice? Well, my would create teams. Let's go before the workout. Is it, is it a shake? Is that what it is? Like a powder. Yeah, put it into something. There's some really good ones. When I was going to go ahead and dim a lot, I was using it. I'll probably get back on it. Okay. That's easy. It's and, and it's not like you're looking to get a buzz off it, Russ. It's just, no, no, no, no. You can feel the effects during your workout.

13:30Yeah. It's going to help with post, post energy, post workout, your recovery time. I need the energy. Yeah. I need the energy. Yeah. Cause it's always, I'm always forcing myself. Like, you know, when you, when I'm sitting here, cause you, these guys, just so you get the audience knows after the show, Angel N Ryan have like work to do right after the show. So they kind of sit here and do their work and they're quiet cause they're doing work and everything. And like, I've been just sitting here. Like, yes, I sat here for a long time cause like, I don't want to go to Jim. Is that what you're doing? Yeah, that's always going on. I don't want to go to the gym and sucks. If I go early, then I got to do something. I can't just stand around, wait for poppy D. So I'm going to sit here with the boys and make thumbnails or whatever the hell I was doing. I'm just doing your doing business work. I'll make up work to do. I don't want to go to the gym. Oh, I got to change my mindset. I got to be excited about it again, but I just say, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, okay, maybe create team to make me excited. There you go. Get some pre workout too. You don't do any pre workout stuff.

14:31What's that? What's that? What's that? You never done pre workout? Yeah, that's insane for him. Why? What do they need? What do they need? Oh, man, I love. It makes your veins all vascular. You can feel every vein in your body and you feel like a live and you're like, yeah, we're going to lift it, man. Can I get it on the Amazon? Oh, yeah, you can get all of them on Amazon. Take it in the last segment of the show. Yeah, I'm just saying no. I'm just saying no. Let's make the last segment of the show, the pre workout segment. And then you just dart off to the gym. Well, you'll feel like running to the gym. Well, I'd be ready to go by noon. Oh, yeah. You'll be ready to go before you walk off this building. Nothing works better than pre-work. No, I would take it. I never done the nice. Yeah, well, generally a lot of pre-work out has nice and in it. That's what gives you that flesh. So my heart will not explode. Well, no guarantees. Of all the things you've never gotten on that pre workout kick, I don't think so. That's insane. That's the best one. I don't think so. I used to do that. I still have you ready to climb up a wall.

15:32I had a doctor prescribed me steroids back in the day. We're good all days, which I guess were illegal. I found out afterwards. We talked about it on the air and she got arrested. You're on steroids right now. So that's like, they're only going to help. I am not on steroids right now. Testosterone is steroids. No, no, no, no. I am on testosterone. I am on testosterone replacement. It's not a steroid. It's exactly what it is. It's pure testosterone. It's still a steroid. I don't believe that's, I think, I've been told there's two different categories. There's a steroid and there's pure testosterone, which is not a steroid. No, you're taking legal steroids. That's, and that's fine. There's nothing wrong with it. But I'm saying it's the same thing. I want to take, I wish my doctor would give me testosterone because it would help my lips and my gains, bro. You're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're thigh muscles would get strong. Yeah, I want that, I want that strong growing like you've got. I got that testosterone. I got that big growing muscle. Yeah. Oh, I want to do them man kegels. I pumped it up to 160 yesterday.

16:33Oh my god. And then it's 12 times. It's like no problem. Wrong with you. PPD. P-P-D. P-P-D. P-P-D. P-P-D. P-P-D, you're like, damn dude, you got a strong growing muscle. Let's get a watermelon and see if you can crash it. I probably can. I think I could. More big dumb thing. I'm going to a watermelon in the studio, someone. We just eat that. Don't go anywhere.

I think I texted back a bunch of people that were texting this morning, you know, happy weekend, Dave. Hope you have a great weekend coming up. So where I was, you know, out in the winter haven, they had the news people and they had the weather person like, hey, this is the first day that it feels like fall because the

19:37weather, the temperature is dropping a little bit. You know, when you wake up in the morning, it's going to be 73. I don't know. Did you guys notice the temperature dropping at all? Not temperature drop, just lack of humidity. Is that what it is? That's the difference, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're not out of 110 percent. We're out 90. Oh, isn't that wonderful? Yeah. And then we, if you had caught that last weather report right before the show, it made it seem like today's weather was going to be nice. Meanwhile, at least right before, or right when I was getting here, we were getting rain. Yeah, I was getting rain on the way in this morning too. Yeah. Yeah, but you know, I just, but what you're noticing, it should, like, it should be a nice day throughout the day. The, the humidity is dropped is the biggest thing. And allegedly the weekend is going to be a little bit cooler. It's a, we're not going up. You know, we're not in the hundreds like we were. I think, I think the biggest difference for us is when we really notice the temperatures, you know, obviously that is what it is. But it's for us in Florida, the biggest differences when we start having lower humidity days, it doesn't feel as hot. Right. Yeah.

20:38I just ordered my creatine. Nice. So you take it every day or you just take it before you work out, take it every day, take it every day part of it. It's part of your routine. Okay. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The pretty workout is the one that you take just right before you work out. I think I think I'll do it here at the radio station. That way my wife doesn't say it because she thinks I take too many medications. Oh, I wouldn't know why she would think that. There's probably nothing that proves that her indicate that at all. She thinks I think I get evidently I don't research it before I take it and all this stuff. Yeah. Could you just lie and talk you into doing creatine and pre-work out? He's a good one though, Angel. This isn't like hydrogen water. Okay. This is a real thing with scientific backing. It'll help us but not only his body, but his brain apparently. Yeah. It'll help my brain. So there you go. I'll start to remember and stuff. What if he has like what is what is that movie where they make the smart guy dump the dumbest smart? No. Flowers for Algonon. That feels correct. The flavor I got is sour watermelon. Why would they make it sour?

21:39Oh, it's not pleasant. Huh? It's not pleasant. You want a flavor? Oh, it looks good. What is a flavor? Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah. There's somebody sour watermelon. I don't know where that. Anyway. You know what? You want regular watermelon? I don't know. Whatever. I guess it's got a if it tastes a little bit nasty, you make sure it's working better, right? I know. I should probably be on more supplements than I am, but I just like I forget. Like half the time I forget to take the protein during after I'm done. Here's a question I hate to ask from what I asked when you're like 61 or all these supplements matter at all. More than they did when you're 25. Oh, really? Yes. 100%. Yeah. And I know like I know you talk about this during the break. And you're like, well, why do I keep increasing the weight? I'm not trying to become like a like a fit bodybuilder. And I'm like, yeah, you could stay at your level and just do maintaining the workout of wherever you're at. It never would be difficult. But as long as you just go for 45 minutes a day, that's actually a pretty good thing. Poppy D though does keep pumping up your weight. He does.

22:40If I could tell him what your goals were, I told him my goal is just to stay alive. I'd like to lose some weight, but I'm not going to freak out about it. But you know, you know, but I haven't really lost any weight. So I keep thinking about going to the dark side and getting the tricep of a tiger, the wagova or whatever, because I've been stuck at this 225 for like a while now. And I can't, I can't make it move down. I could make it go up. No problem. But the problem is the second I get into 230 range, my blood pressure starts going through the roof. Right. I have, and I've never had to die into my life. You know what I mean? Like until about five, six years ago, I never was fat. So now I have no tool set on how to do this. And I see my friends doing it. And they're taking the wagova. They're taking the stuff. And I'm like, I can't help. And I know this isn't me problem. But I feel a bit of resentment because here I am. I'm doing, I'm like eating boring food. Oh, there are people to get mad about it. Yeah. I mean, boring food. I'm working. I'll do this thing.

23:41And I'm seeing my friends who I'm happy for. Like I am, I guess that they're getting. Smaller, they're getting a little bit, they're getting healthier because that just in general, you know, less worse diabetes, but I'm like, you cheat. Oh, yeah. I'll cheat anyway. I can. I don't care. I know that this is a me problem. And I feel bad about that because I should be like, oh, look at my friend. Okay. I was worried that they were going to get diabetes. But I'm not. I'm like, you cheating. You cheating. I, there is that out there. I've heard other people say that too. They get mad at people that use them. But listen, it's been my struggle, right? I don't have a struggle with hookers. I don't have a struggle with gambling. I don't have a struggle with cocaine. I don't have a struggle with alcohol. I have a thing mentioned, by the way. I have a struggle. I said struggle. I didn't say I haven't tried. I said I haven't had a struggle with. Yeah. Okay. But you just let me show you what a gambling recently. Struggle with food. Now listen, a little bit of money, whatever. And you know what? And I haven't, I haven't, I haven't gambled since. I'm like, I lost it. I'm just done. Yeah. I'll just cheer for Kate. And then I don't have to bet on her.

24:42So I haven't had a problem with all that. But eating has always been my thing. So if there's a magical, there's a magical medication that I'll make, but the magical medication is not working. I told you I'm taking, I'm taking semi-glutized, and try semi-glutized at the same time. You are still hungry. You were far less fat right now than you were like three or four months ago. Thank you, buddy. That was nice thing to say. Yeah. I mean like, I, you're far less fat. Well, because I can sound it weird. I know it's a car. It was a nice thing. I mean, I think there's a compliment there somewhere. Yeah. But it just, you're far less fat. I could be fatter that sure. You know, somebody at, somebody at Mount Dora came and I forget his name. I'm so sorry, buddy. Every time I see his face, I know who he is, but I can't, but he showed me a picture of him and I at a wrestling event. God dang it. When it was years and years ago, and I was, it was, I mean, fat Russ. I mean, I was big. I was probably pushing over 300, right? So I'm not there. Right. But I'm still about the same.

25:45I've been for two years on these peptides are not affecting me. Yes, they are. And they're clearly working. I don't know. I know you don't see it because I mean, like just pull up a video on our YouTube. We have, guess what? We got eight years of history. We can go back and look at YouTube channel. And I look the exact same the whole time. You want me to pull up fat Russ? I've seen fat Russ. I saw fat Russ the other day. Okay. I'm just saying, like how far do you think do you want to go back though into the, into the world? I mean, like that's the beauty of what we're doing right now. I can go and show you a difference from three months ago to right now. You know, I was worried the other day that, you know, because my mind, this is, this is it. I was telling Maryl, I was like, you know, if, if I'm going to be cremated, right? And there's not going to be any stone left on this planet that's got my name on it. And then no one will remember me, you know, because I'm not going to have a grave. There'll be no grave. My grandma was cremated. She was a grave.

26:45Oh, well, I didn't, I didn't have one. I didn't, I didn't plan on that. But then I thought, well, I don't need a grave because there's eight or there's going to be eight, 10, 20 years of me on YouTube. That'll be around for a long time. Well, I mean, as long as YouTube exists and keeps their current policy of archiving every video, but yeah, but probably not. Well, let me go to my grave thinking it's going to be there forever. You should get a plot, though. They're not that expensive. It's just a little plaque that goes next to your, your mom's, your mom and your dad, don't they have a grave already? They do. And they got me one. Yeah. So get your little plaque. But I didn't plan on, you know, but Maryl and then like that. So she, I mean, she's more into like, you know, Burma. Anyway, this, you just have nothing like that. These are dark thoughts. I guess I was just thinking that it's weird how now we had this, this thing where, you know, you're on camera every single day for almost your entire life and all that is out there and will be there probably as close as forever as forever will get.

27:47They could easily make the robot out of us. Yeah. I mean, five hours of content every day of for eight years. I mean, yeah. So they could make a, they could make a Russ if they wanted to. Oh, 100%. Like a, like a, like a, like a, like an Android. Right. I mean, it's cool. No, we would, we would have to make the Android. Like a big, like a big Android. Big, big, big Russ. You can make him skinny. That'd be cool. You'll a lot, use a lot of swarovos. I can't, I'm sorry. You can make him look like we want, right? Swarovos is what Russ gives their tribute. Uh, yeah. I wonder if one day, you'll have to like sign off on whether somebody can use your like this or use your personality or use your, sorry, it's already a thing. It's already a thing right now. There are people that are putting that stuff into their, uh, their, uh, wills and testaments and, uh, basically not permitting anyone, the family or whatever to using their, uh, their likeness or image, any of that. I was happening as we speak, but I want them to use mine. Please take it. If you're, if you're, like, live forever, no, no, if you, yeah, if you genuinely believe that, then you probably would want to add that into your, uh, your paperwork.

28:52Yeah. Yeah. I'm all about it. Yeah. I mean, I, I mean, I, I mean, I could give like Mary Ellen, like I could clone your voice. Yeah. I could give an LLM with trained on you. Uh, and then she could just talk to you forever if you weren't really wanted that. I wonder if, you know, I'll get you that after I said after I'm dead and gone, given, given the choice, if she would, if she would do that, if she'd be like, now listen, I love them. I'm pretty good. You know, you know, you talk a lot like, you know, I'm good now. Yeah. Let's live rest in peace. I'll find another husband. It's probably, probably, you know, cause I can be a lot. I don't know if you know that or not. Uh, yeah. Body. We are aware. Yeah. What are you looking for? You're looking for fat pictures of me looking for fat Russ. I'm seeing how fat Russ looks like. I saw a picture of fat Russ the other day at Mount Dora. I know. I mean, so I'm maintaining 270 pounds. Oh, that's great. I should be 240. I know you should be 320. No.

29:52Yes. No, I'm saying though. If I want to be 40, the goby is stopping you from being back above 300, which is where your body apparently naturally wants to sit. Well, yes. So it's doing its job, but we need to do more. It's been going, going well for a long time because I'm having to go way back to find like a bigger version of you and you've been on it for a while. So it's doing its job. I know, but it's just like, I know you think you're just going to shed like a crazy amount of weight. You probably have plateaued and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Hmm, okay. Well, because it does come with a plateau. Yeah. Yeah. I got the bomb. I'm right there. I'm at plateau right now. I live. Liz, if you want to text us, you can't. 77031 that 77031 if you want to text us and don't go anywhere. You're listening to the match of the morning. Real radio runs on real people, real opinions and guaranteed human moments, even the embarrassing ones. Hey, with all that being said, you guys are going to be by breakfast.

31:03Yeah. That would be fantastic. Eggs and bake your man. Eggs and bake him. Yes. All right. Good. There you go. I'm in. I can stand much. I got cash. Okay. All right. 77031 people have been texting all morning. Appreciate that. So this affects, I don't know. When I saw this, I'm like, man, I remember at this, now, wasn't this radio station? I almost said this radio station, this radio station cluster. I remember when we, when it started, it was a 106.7. It was dock and Johnny back in the time, back in the day, started the red hot and boom thing in the Alta Mont Springs and Alta Mont Springs leaders have voted to end it now. Now, we haven't run it. The radio stations haven't run it in several years, but the radio station here, and then we would all help out because it was a big thing. Linda Berg was all about, you know, so hands on deck. So we were involved, but yet not it wasn't our thing, right? So they'd ask us to participate, but it would be Johnny Magic and I was docking Johnny

32:07at the time and it first started. And I worked promo for that thing. Oh, I had to do that a few years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, everybody was working that weekend. It was a big thing for these radio stations. Yeah. It was that and there was the two big things. Well, three actually, one big thing was red hot and boom. And then you've got the thing the JR does, or they birthday, and then Miss Monster was a huge thing back in the day as well as far as generating, you know, a lot of people and people showing up and all that kind of stuff. The red hot and boom, the biggest of them all, 250,000 people showing up out to my springs there at at cranes roost and they've decided to not do it anymore. What do you think according to this story on channel two, what do you think it cost them to run red hot and boom? A million dollars. Yeah, yeah, yeah, nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars when you include, I guess they're saying with inflation with tariffs, with insurance, with staffing, with security, because

33:13you got 250,000 people that attend and it's just my observation though, but since they broke away from the company, it's going downhill. It's been trash. Yeah. One hundred percent. Yeah. So that's what I was going to say. Yeah, that's just an easy observation to make and they thought they could take it on their own. They could not, they thought they could do it. They thought they could bring attention to it and they could not. Yeah. Well, I think they still have a lot of, they had a lot of people show up, but the weren't as many sponsors involved and it wasn't as successful and it didn't do, you know, it monetarily didn't do as well as when our radio stations were involved because, you know, and then, you know, when you have all the radio stations promoting it, then you get bigger and better sponsors. So that was part of it. But yeah, they've scrapped it, man, they've scrapped red hot and boom. So last year's one and we didn't talk about it at all because it's like, they're now competitors. They're not, we're not part of it, you know. So, you know, we were promoting Dora and other places where they did fireworks. And I haven't talked to anyone that's been to Red Hot and Boob.

34:13But you guys live there. So did you hear a lot of talk about it this year? I think it's, there was always traffic and there was always commotion because people just automatically assume are they grew up with it and their parents grew up with it and they knew that that was the thing to do, right? Yeah, it was, for example, the last couple of years that we've done it, it was not difficult for me to get home, right? Because we had our own gigs and stuff going on and usually traffic on that, on that side of town would be a nightmare for hours. And I noticed that it wasn't difficult to get home at all. How many years ago do you think they had the very first red hot and boom? Oh, man. I think a stab at it. Because I was here at the radio station when it happened. So 30 years? 29 years ago. OK. 29 years ago is when they started Red Hot and Boob. And I remember it, I remember the first one and then I remember all the ones that they had us work, you know, and go out there because it was Linda birds, you know, it was their baby.

35:14And it was a big deal. But it's been years since we've been involved, right? Like 10 or more. I would go our clinic. I think close to 10 at least, the very minimum. So I guess the city of what I heard, yeah, they haven't been involved. They haven't been involved. No, they were because I've only been here for eight, nine-ish years and they, it was going on for like about three or four while I was here. So I'll say the city of Altenmont Springs had decided whether to do Red Hot and Boob or a library. Good. Save the effing. I'm so tired of having to save this library by my house. I love that library. The Altenmont Springs library. Yeah. It's a little tiny one that's off of Maelon Avenue. And it's been there forever. I mean, it's like, it's like at least 50 years, probably older than that. It's been there forever. I remember going there as a kid. I go there now. It's a, they give you like, if you're not taking advantage of the library system, by the way, regular ass people, then you're missing out because it comes with digital subscriptions and stuff that I download on my tablet all the time. But I love going to that library. And if honestly the choice is the trash that Altenmont Springs made, Red Hot and Boob,

36:18or the library, then save the library. They went library. Good. So no, so some next year, that means there'll be a void when it comes to fireworks. You know, let there be a void because like, like that area around Crane's Roost, you guys can't fit anything else over there. I don't know what you guys are doing, but the traffic in that little area now behind the mall that road that runs around it and the massive speed bumps that you've built. They're not even speed bumps. Speed mountains that you put in there and there's a, that unfinished building, but now there's condos all around that damn thing. I used to live in one of those condos, yeah. But now there's like 50 more than the one when you live there. Too many of you. And it's, it's a nightmare. My mom lives over there and to get over just, but in theory, as the crow flies, my mom lives five minutes away. But in reality, she lives 20. Does she go down to the, to the Crane's Roost and walk around and all that kind of stuff? She don't exercise. No, she's not doing nothing. When I live there, I did like that.

37:19I like going down to Crane's Roost, walking around, you know, because it's, it's exactly one mile around the lake there and you're close to the out to mount mall and it's a cool little area. But rise, right? There's the city planners or somebody could be brought into like figure out those traffic patterns better because it seems like in just one concentrated area, there's an in northern amount of stoplights. Oh, yeah. You can get jammed up and get hung up for a couple of miles. And you're spending 10 minutes at stoplights. By the way, I apologize, guys, as the host, I should have remembered this, not everybody who's listened to us around the country knows what we're talking about when we say red hot and booms. I should explain red hot and boom basically is a fourth of the July event that this, it wasn't this radio station. It was another radio station in our building, but we all kind of had to participate because it was such a big thing. We started it many, many, many years, 29 years ago and it's fireworks. It's like a day long celebration for the fourth of July. They always would do it on the third of July, the day before to kind of catch every,

38:22I think that was Linda Bird's idea to it the day before that way. If people want to go do something on the fourth of July, they could, but we could get more sponsors and stuff the day before. So they would do it on the third of July in Altamont Springs around this area called Crane's Roos. That's kind of beautiful lake and it's really nice little area there. And then many years ago, about maybe 10 years ago, they broke off from the radio stations and Altamont Springs kind of hijacked it and kept it on their own because from what I understand, I think XL, the one that named it red hot and boom. So there was, there was litigation over the name. Yeah, because they somehow kept the name. Yeah, there was, it got, it got ugly there. Yeah, it got ugly there towards the end and whatever, whoever the people were at the city that were making those decisions that thought that they could do this on their own and do the, you know, promote the event on their own and book the acts because that's the other thing that we're getting messages from the acts were trash. Right. When it first started, XL would have like major, yeah, I think like actually boy style acts

39:24would come there. Yeah, at least, or at least accept people were familiar with. Jonas Brothers at some point. Yeah, they had what's the, what's the, what's the juxtaposition? Just Simpson was out there one time, also Mandy Moore. So they used to have like, you know, kind of cool acts that were there. That all dropped off in the past 10 years. They got rid of all the stuff that made it super cool. I don't know what's going on with Alhtamon. I used to have a lot of hope in Alhtamon. I would drive through Alhtamon all the time before I lived there and I'd be like, look, all right, they're getting their, they're getting their act together. This is becoming like a real city city and like it seems like in the last few years, they have no idea what they're doing anymore. You said a real city city. Yeah. Oh, they said something else. Okay. No, now it is that. Well, anyway, there's another thing that is going to be, I think, I think it's going to go on Red Hot and Boom down the toilet and you're going to have a library in Alhtamon's race. That's not the right way to say that. I got congratulations. Congratulations. The same library. Yeah, the same library. The book place we read. Yeah, you got it. There you go. Yeah, no fireworks, but you got your, but you got your library.

40:25Good. Another good point that another good point that a texture brings up with the inflexer, you know, just so many condos in apartment complexes got being built around that place. I'm certain that the noise level got to be annoying for people too. Oh my God. When I lived in the condo there, because I was on the 10th floor, I think, when they would do the fireworks, it was like it was right in my condo. It was that one. I mean, because they put the fireworks in the middle of the lake, right? And they shoot them off. And it was like almost like at the same level as my condo and blowing up. It was pretty crazy. It was pretty crazy. Right. We'll take a little break. It is trivia time. It's your chance to win some stuff. So you might want to get on the line. The telephone numbers 407 916, 1041.
