If you start on me o man, Hello, Hello, all right,
bet your flex let's do it. I'm back boy? Are you? Where's
my billboard? This says I'm back on it? That'd be bad ass people
you know who hey y they make you know when dogs look at jeus,
they appe you left? Who who are you? Do you think that'd be
a bad allocation of funds to celebrate your return after being gone for four days?
I've seen the worst usage of funds. John Oliver bought a huge bird.
Welcome, Welcome, well whose Kevin er? Oh, Mike' story is
gone? Everyone go long? Bankrupt sounder? You seem prices right, lose
your horn? Is that the best? Wrong sounder? Wow? But Jeopardy
they just go yeah, is that it? Or quick or something? And
he goes no, sorry. Can you imagine if every time you try to
make love after being at the bar and it doesn't go well, hear that
sounder fires off in your house? You just quit snoring, can't get up
to sixty two those welcome back, Homie, I am glad to be back.
Mischief missed you so much. She's my fam. Yeah, it's good
to be back with the fam. And then sir always like, hey,
if he's coming back, I'm getting the hell out. That's stone crabs.
We uh. I'm making fun of sweet Mikey yesterday because let's face it,
today, even if you're working, you ain't working well known. This might
be the biggest mail in day of the year when it comes to people that
aren't actually off the day before Thanksgiving it. I don't know many folks that
are. As a rule, it's always you get the Friday off afterwards,
so you have a nice four day weekend. But rarely do you see anyone
take the day off of Thanksgiving the day before Thanksgiving off because it's basically a
paid day off anyway, Friday plus Yeah, so Friday max plus. I
thought it was kind of interesting that on the biggest give up day that we
know as a country, Mike Soroy gives up so hard that he takes that
day off. Yeah. It's the one day where having an early release is
actually what people want. Yeah, because most people just go, yeah,
get out of here. That is your duties by noon. Sea. I
don't know how much hopefully none time you had to listen, well, I
saved the shows because we put every segment on the iHeart app so it's save
it. Such stuff to listen to on the plane, and I listened to
the show at one and a half speed. Interesting way to listen to it.
But that sounds funny, it's crazy. So we uh, I don't
remember what I was talking about. Oh yeah, we were talking about how
like our company sends out an email like all the time. But they mentioned
that today on the vacation calendar that today is an office half day. So
I would fully expect it around you know, eleven thirty. This typically just
packed office with people just nose rubbing directly against the grindstone. They're gonna hear
that that whistle fire off at eleven eleven thirty. And just to see all
of our office filing out to the elevators, single file, all many of
them. Yeah, probably just to handle your stuff at home day. My
guess I think is it's a good day. It's a bad day to go
to the grocery store. But I think it's a popular day because everybody's doing
their last minute, you know, acquiring their last minute ingredients for the big
meal tomorrow. I ran last night to the grocery store just for random.
I'm back in town and need a couple of things. Yeah yeah, and
it was like you kind of crowded your protein bars. People were getting ahead
of it. I guess last night yeah yeah, I bet, yeah,
I bet last night was a big grocery night too. But yeah, today
wick out America grocery store days. I hated working around Thanksgiving. Oh brutal.
And it was like extended hours on Wednesday. Oh heck. Yeah,
yeah, he gotschorely and it's like for me, it's like, well,
my friends are all party and I'm going to Stuart's to work. And that
was that was a grocery store in any right. Okay, so that was
your first actual paid gig outside of like Moony Yards and crab. Yeah,
I would say the first formal, you know, working with a team,
you know that type of thing. Yes, yeah, same same. You
had what was it called Stuarts Stuart's food Store. We had we had two
grocery stores in town and not city, back when it was a booming metropolis.
No, we had an Systems WHOA does that ring a bell for you?
I said, m Systems, which was kind of the small town chain
I knew of others. And then there was an independent called Bob's Super Save
juice up the Super Saved. I went Indie grocer and I worked for Bob
Super Saved, and it was a block from my house, so I could
just well, I mean, you could walk anywhere in no city, but
uh yeah, I walked to work every day and worked at Save That's right
with Bob and I would sack groceries. And if you appeared to be someone
that might have trouble getting your groceries from the checkout line to your car,
I would gladly assist. JJ. What was what was your first paid job?
First paid job? Ninety seven won the freak. I think it was
in college. Yeah, I worked at a pizza spot during the summer.
It was hard for me to get a job because I was asking and all
through school, so I was always busy. In the summertimes, I could
never work, and so I didn't really get a job until I was like
twenty, like my first like paid job, and I worked at a pizza
place like that summer because I was staying down there going to tea classes.
Where was this again? A texta a named Corpus Christie. Okay, so
you were in Corpus at a pizza place. Was it like a local and
yeah shop. Yeah, it was called Pizza State, so it was like
it was literally right on the corner of our of our university college, so
it was very very popular, popular spot. Yeah. What were your duties
there? Did you make the pizza? We did everything made pizzas there because
we had a buffet, and we did delivery and take out, so everyone
pretty much did everything. That's how it's like, that's small, smaller place
it was. Did you ever spend the night at your pizza place after hours
partying with a Dallas cowboy cheerleader and accidentally do a line of meth and then
slept for two days and get fired? I don't believe. Oh wow,
it sounds like a great time. Yeah, me either. Ever happened to
me a lot of myth It was an accident. It seems like it was
meth. It was an accident. God, did you walk through the details
of that another day. I need Mikey here to walk me through it.
Yeah, you can tell you some of the things you might not have known.
He wasn't there, He would have been ten. Gosh, yeah,
that was cowboys cheerleader two. That all sex up the story real quick.
That went horribly. I don't know if that added to the white trash or
or took away from the white trash of doing that. It's all about balance.
Did you ever work pizza? Never worked? Pizza. Definitely had some
bad pizza that did a number on my stomach a couple of days ago in
New York. Yeah. Well, you know what, maybe don't have pizza
when you think you need it. First of all, I always love pizza,
just like the everyone does. But you know, we talk about Andrews
like you can do pizza. You can't do it right. Yeah, you
can also do it very wrong. You would think that in a city like
NYC that pretty much all you know, offerings are going to be pretty good.
Maybe not before in fact, someone to tell you a few things about
New York. Okay, we'll tell everyone that Picks with Glenn's is coming up
at nine. Yeah, I should probably come up with something. Our special
guest is Yankees catcher Jose Travino, former ranger. Great, he'll be calling
in at nine. So you had the mystery guests celebrity already. But he's
a friend and big Spurs fan though weird, so he's high on the Wimby
Hog. What's his connection to San Antonio, lives grew up in Corpus CHRISTI.
There you go there. He's probably went to State Pizza. Yeah,
probably go to State Pizza. It's pizza, State State University. Gosh,
I'm a methadict. Okay, I don't don't expect me to get things right
all the time. Step submitting it. He needed more, I need help.
Uh we had there was a big plane crash in Plano. What was
a small plane crash in Plano last night? Yeah, in North Dallas.
It's all over the news this morning, and uh, we have someone calling
you at eight thirty who was there when it happened, saw the plane drop
from the sky and impact fire, all of it. He saw it.
He He wasn't somebody that just stumbled upon the aftermath. This dude is a
good friend of mine. His name is Jason Jane Keys. What do you
call it when you're you don't actually work for a newspaper, but you're a
contributor. He's a contributor to the Dallas Morning News. He's a amazing photographer,
longtime friend of mine, and he was actually there and saw the whole
thing go down. He's going to pop on during ding Goose Morning News and
give us a first hand account of the deathly, deadly, deadly plane crash
that happened in Plano just last night. Well, he's you're ready for Cowboys
and Commanders at seven, I have our predictions for the game at eight,
a lot of other stuff. It's also JFK Day, What are we doing?
Hot Pepper? What did aunt Well do that? At eight? The
hot Pepper sonas a eight? Okay? Yeah, But so this is I
went to New York and been on the books for a little while because I
wanted to go and do New York without So I did it in twenty ten,
twenty ten maybe, but I went with my parents, my brother and
in twenty ten. Yeah, it was before that. It was like the
summer of that year. It wasn't was it. It wasn't Ranger related.
No, Well, the trip ended up kind of being that way. Just
want to see. My uncle lived in near Baltimore at the time, so
we're going up to Maryland and we were like, screw it, let's go
catch a Ranger game at Fenway, which we did that, and then we
were like, well, let's go to New York for a couple of days.
So we kind of did like a kind of a Northeast triangle. We
spent some time in Boston, like a day in Boston. We all we
got two games at Fenway, went to New York, went to the Yankee
State the New Yankee Stadium, and I think it was like one of the
first years that it opened, and spent a couple of days there, which
is first time for me and my little brother at the time. Jesus,
he would have been sixteen, you know, I was last year of college.
And then spent time in Maryland seeing my uncle who his family, and
so that's still like you're kind of confined to your parents. And remember I
think I told you guys this was like it was mind blowing experience that I'll
never forget is stepping out onto the street in New York for the first time
and going holy hell, yeah, that's insane. And again in twenty thirteen,
for well, it would have been January of twenty fourteen for Super Bowl
that year, and it was the first Super Bowl I ever covered with the
old station with Ben and skin. But still there's something about work trip.
So you kind of heard mentality kind of with the work trip if you wanted
to go exploring. We want a lot of time to do that. It
was also somewhere between five and twenty degrees that entire week, So like,
I wanted to go this time of year before the chaos of Thanksgiving and this
week, you know what New York's gonna be like tomorrow with the parade,
and I always wanted to go at a time like when it's cooler but not
cold, and it was perfect. It was like fifty five to seventy degrees
all week, had rained at all or was it pretty clear? I had
a little bit of rain but nothing. I never got hit by any rain,
but the way it rained a little bit overnight one night, so it
was a little cloudy, a little bit little windy on Monday. Monday was
a little cold to be out and things like that, but it was great.
What was your primary source of transpot cab walking or subway walking? In
subway a lot of walking. My feet were feeling it. Those city blocks
are no jokes. They're not. Man. You think of a block you
in Dallas, if you've never been to New York and you're thinking, oh,
you know, maybe a quarter of a mile or if that you know,
uh uh, those blocks are like fn mile long. It feels like
that's my number one takeaway through all of that is we get around with our
phones, and ten years ago I don't remember getting relying on my phone that
much to get around. A little bit, yes, a little bit.
And now you type in where am I going? How do you want to
hit it? Walk? Okay, it's twelve minute. Walk okay, transit
seven minutes, jump on the queue train or whatever, you know, and
they tell you exactly. They walk you through it. But there are times
when you're like, because you don't use that subway system all the time,
after you've done it for two days, you're like, hell, yeah,
this is great. It's amazing. I kind of love it. You can
get so far in a short amount of time. It's really really easy.
So I'd never been until twenty ten. And you know, you have a
general understanding. If you look at a New York subway map, they shows
you the main lines, but there are little sub arterial subway lines that go
into little neighborhoods basically all of Manhattan Brooklyn. I guess maybe for the most
part of the five boroughs or service neighborhoods are serviced by the subway. You
don't need a car in New York if you live in that pretty central area,
you just don't. But boy, it's easy. If you don't have
a good understanding of anything that kind of offshoots off those main lines, you
can get lost and you get stuck on a train. That happened to me
where I was trying to get back from oh gosh, the Lower east Side
back to Midtown because we were staying in Midtown and I have a friend that
lives there, and we went out one night after the day Ranger game they
played three in a row. In the third game, there was the afternoon,
so we went out and hung out that night and it's you know,
kind of late. I'm like, well, I gotta get back and I
can walk. That's going to take me, like damn near an hour to
get back to Midtown. I'm like, oh, let's take the subway.
So I just hopped on one. I just saw one and just hopped on.
It's kind of looking around and going, yeah, I think it goes
there, but now it dumped me into weird places and I'm having to,
you know, try to figure out. In twenty ten, my phone map,
which was, you know, compared to compared to now, was not
as advanced, So it took me damn near as long to after you know,
getting getting on the wrong train a couple of times to get back to
where I wanted to be. Well, now your phone will just put you
where you need to be. It's so insane. It's also a good test
for if you're with a partner, okay, because you can find yourself if
you want to be, if you want to be stubborn. No, I
think it's we should go uptown or No, No, Downtown Brooklyn. No
Uptown Queen's is the one we should take because we're going up there, and
luckily we didn't fight too much, so like we didn't have any problems with
that. But you're still there are a few disagreements about which one you should
jump on, just based on inexperience that alone. Now I was going to
see my favorite band. Don't make fun of me, everyone, Godard apologize.
Hey, you hear me? The noted not Country band, the Dave
Matthews Band. It is the thirtieth time I was seeing him. Danny commitment
stats here. Don't be a shame of that. I fink you're ashamed.
No, I'm not I've just been made fun of it my entire life.
So it's you know, when you get bullied, these things stick with you.
So go to show thirty Massive Square Garden. Never been to the garden.
It's efing awesome, Like it's stupid, that's it's in a train station,
okay, but it's the concourse is on the fifth level. It's the
fifth level of the building. Had no idea, I don't know what's up
okay, second floor, fifth floor, like it's all the way up there.
But it was kind of cool, and it's it's been it's been worked
on. It wasn't like an old piece, like an old dump like I
thought it would be. It's it's updated. Is it strange to walk because
I've never been. Is it strange to walk out from the concert or I
guess basketball game or whatever you're seeing there and walking out to the concourse and
looking out the window and looking down in your five stories up. It's insane,
doesn't make sense, it's really dumb, and said, when you're walking
up to it, it's huge. I was like immediately I just went compare
that to the American Caroline Center. It's way more awesome, Like it's just
is and when on night when I you tickets on the floor, right,
So it's kind of cool. I wanted to get there, not early,
but like I did want to kind of oh, look look at the banners
New York Knicks jerseys. Kind of cool. Soak it in. Yeah,
it was. It was neat none. It was explaining to her a little
bit, like this is the most iconic arena you will ever be in arena
maybe not venue like indoor arena, this is probably the most iconic one you'll
ever be in the Garden. It's dark in there, which is really cool,
which makes the lighting even better and the sound even better and you can
tell. So then this is kind of for another reason I went to.
It's like historically they usually close out their winter tour at the Garden and they
have guests and stuff like that. I mean, there's an iconic one from
years back when James Brown was still living out of nowhere. James Brown shows
up, so you never know who the guest is going to be. You
know, it's scaled down over the years because they're not, you know,
as popular as they were. I'm sorry, I'm hung up on just imagining
what kind of shape the Godfather of Soul was in just a few years back
when he was full alive fifteen or twenty years ago. Well, and he's
been dead about that long ago. Yeah, what it was like when Homeboy
walked out on stage with Dave Matthew, Yeah, right, like half knowing
where he was. That's street. It might have been O two actually,
I think it was twenty one years ago. It's always kind of a note
like, Okay, it's gonna be kind of a party weekend, right for
the if you're whatever, you know? And they played they played Come Together,
right, the Beatles song, which everyone covers that song. It's a
cool song, right, great, they never cover that. They played a
ton of covers, So there was one guy behind me bitching is like this
a cover band. Now it's party weekend, you know that. So they're
playing come Together, and they're about to do like kind of the part where
it slows down the engine and then out comes trombone shorty out of nowhere.
There you go, and he's just the coolest dude, I mean, and
then it's like okay, then even announced that he was coming and they like
Derek Trucks was there, which is weird. I don't really he's great.
He's amazing and I'm not easy like intol like guitar wankery or whatever. He
may be awesome. Best slide player on the planet right now. Yeah,
oh he's He's in Crown. Then Susan Tedesky came out, then whatever and
they did a couple of songs. The bass guy from Saturday Night Live band
came out and play. I was like, okay. It was like a
new guest each song and you're sitting there going who's next, like what's it
gonna be? And it's sometimes it's guys you hadn't heard of. There's a
trumpet player. It was very cool. And then night two we had seats
off to the side and I bought these and I was like, I bought
him, like I'm our bottom on the air one day. Here it was
like partial views that are a little cheaper. It was the best seats I've
ever had in my life. Was side no, I mean you couldn't see
the background, but we were to the side of the band's effing nuts dude.
I was like, my mind was blown off about how close I was.
That's one of the side behind me. One of the best places for
sound too. Yes, it sounded amazing. You're getting really close up to
you, you know, if you care about the drummer, you know,
which I do. I had a minute where I said something I nearly got
punched in the face. This is walking on the sidewalks of New York City.
We were there on some sort of comic con weekend and a lot of
the comic con people were staying in our hotel really and one guy was wearing
a purple suit and he had what appeared to be like a NERF basketball in
his pants in the back. To have a crazy ass, and so Rocks
just kind of says that to me, and I was like, I don't
see it. And then I do finally see it a few steps later,
and I go, WHOA, that is a crazy ass. But in front
of me is a couple and it's a woman three feet away from me,
in front of me, and she kind of turns. All she hears is
a guy her going WHOA, that is a crazy ass. Bos New Yak
sitting woo Yak City. And then the husband kind of looked at me and
I said, no, I was talking to the guy in the purple suit.
And then they start looking for him, so that was fine. That
wasn't a big deal. Don't have pizza after you've drank a lot after night
too, of get some street za. I didn't do streets A. I
went ahead and did did the ten minute waiting line at Joe's Pizza. Street
Za would have been fine, probably, although I don't like that the hot
dog salesman I didn't buy. As you walk past them all, he was
stacking his wingers up like a pyramid. It's just fun. Should prove I've
got them all and I'm gonna cook him for you. Very odd. It's
strange, man, And you tell me you said you only once for that,
you know, is it wor you probably have to do a little bit
of exploring. But yeah, of course a little bit. I was reminded
that the number one thing I take away from going there, and I'm glad
I got to go and explore like Sunday spin all day in Brooklyn and it
was fun. It was like we wanted to move around know Ho, go
to Soho and go to the West Side and just kind of do as much
of it as you can, which is easy to do with the subplay system.
But it truly is a culture reset that you just need. You need
to just go and be around literally every type of person you could imagine.
There will be a guy who comes up and ask you for money, who
says he's a rapper from from England and he's asking for money to get back
to Boston. Yeah, and you're like, man, if you're such a
good rapper, no, but you know, he asked for a twenty and
I'm like, you did give you a one? He needed twenty? He
needed a twenty. Yeah, And I was like, bro, the Metro
card, it's like three bucks, Like, you don't need a twenty,
got it? Yeah? I know, we gotta go. I was there
in twenty ten and didn't do a ton outside of work because we had to
do the showdown there and then go to the games two nights in a row
of night. Yeah, and we're hauling ass to the subway to you know,
make it to the Bronx, which is a pretty long long haul full
of Yankee fans and some Ranger fans, but mostly Yankee fans, and we're
you know, going to those games. And then the third game was a
day game, so they sent me as a correspondent. So the two other
hosts were back at the whatever New York, you know, studio radio station
doing the show, and I was out there with a cell phone in twenty
ten, calling in giving useless reports and unfunny jokes, much like what you
get, you know, at eight thirty every day. So I did have
a little bit of time that night, and the mornings were free, so
I did go to Ground zero, and it was before the new World Trade
Center had been built. Yeah, so it was kind of pretty creepy to
be there on that site with nothing there, but it was all clean,
and you could tell that they were moving in some construction equipment to kind of
start maybe had just broken ground or they were starting to work on it,
or maybe it was under construction, but at the very beginning phases. But
yeah, that was pretty pretty mind blowing to see that site and just the
scale of it. You don't realize how effing big, oh my god,
that imprint is until you stand there looking down on it, you know,
because everything's just so small on television. But boy, when you're standing there,
I can only imagine what it had to have been like to watch those
come down or to hear the initial impact. Just the sheer, deafening sound
of that and the scale of that, not to bring it, you know,
no, no, no, we didn't go to the site, but
we saw it, but from a different viewpoints, right like, because you
can't help but go where it happens. Yes, And this is the thing
is you're kind of reminded too. We think of New York as this big
place in New York. I guess as a whole I guess, dude,
all of that you were hearing and feeling all that, no matter where you
were, but no matter the amazing thing about New York. You know,
we're about to get into this in the next segment, the big difference between
New York and Dallas. When you think of New York, I don't.
That was the biggest event that happened on our mainland ever, as far as
a wartimesh tearest. Event took so many damn lives, and like I said,
the scale of that whole operation and the aftermath, blah blah blah blah
blah, all of it massive. But when you think of New York,
nine to eleven is not the first thing that comes to my mind. It's
just not because the history and the scale of that area and everything that it
represents, it's bigger than nine to eleven. Sure it truly is. We
live in a city where when you think of Dallas, that, and coming
up next, we will talk about what happened sixty years ago, right here
in our very own city,
