So it took me the better part of the last three months, and I
watched Time. What's number one on many a list to the greatest television show
of all time. I'd never seen it before, sewn HBO called the Sopranos,
and I finished it last night. Congratulations, good job, I finished
it. Yeah, yeah, since asa instance, I finished the whole series.
You did it, man, and you were really reluctant when you started
this thing. You were kind of like disappointed in the production of it.
You thought some of the scenes were real cheap. You didn't first seemed it
to be terribly engaging, but then you got on a roll and you finally
admitted, not admitted, but realized maybe it's relevant. It's genius. It
was excellent. It was what a crazy like ambitious show that doesn't spoon feed
stuff to you. And I don't know how they got this green lit back
then. And then it turned into as popular of a show as it was
much less the greatest show of all time, amazing, amazing show because like,
yes, I want more shooting and more mob stuff, you know,
but that's not what the show is. It's the mix of that mixed with
the dude dealing with his normal life stresses and these pain in the ass kids
and his sister and all this stuff. I mean, like, I'm telling
you guys, you know, but I think it's funny for you or the
many who loved the show to hear someone see it for the first time twenty
years too late. What often happens in historic television shows, as we always
ask, it's like, well, how long has it been since you've seen
that movie? And it may have been a movie that was twenty twenty five
years old, and you know, does it hold up? And when you
say does it hold up? Were we just did we just look at entertainment
and comedy or drama differently in that time? And does it age well to
where, dude, it's still as funny. Did you find it to be
as brilliant as everybody said it was back then compared to new stuff that's out
now that people acclaimed to be. Yeah, I don't know. I don't
know if I'd say it's the greatest show of all time. So you can't
factor that in, you know, like what it felt like. I can't
imagine watching it getting excited for Sundays because there's some weird episodes and episodes and
weird. It's again, like I said, not spoon fed. No,
it's not easy. You know, you don't watch and like, wow,
that needs they're tying up that. There's crap. They won't tie up for
weeks and weeks. You know. It's funny. Though I had seen one
episode in my life, and i'd seen the last episode. I went to
a party, never seen one, and I watched the last one twenty years
ago whatever, And this is the iconic end the scene is I was one
I was looking forward to, you know, where he goes in this diner
with his family, you know, and Tony's there and the bell rings and
someone walks in, and finally his wife walks in and he looks down.
It's all so normal and uh. Then the bell rings again and some strange
dude walks in and uh. And then then the son walks in a j
and it's like all right, and he looks up down his tension builds.
It would be really cool if we could just end the show right there,
but I didn't plan and time it out right. I have a theory that
right in that moment, guys, that Tony Soprano got shot. Come on,
man, that the first I got the first hiccup of the show.
That's your theory. I've never heard this before. I think he got shot
right then. And you're kidding, right, Yes, he's kidding. Everyone's
kidding right now. Okay, good, just making sure I think you're a
good actor. He was shot in ahead, yeah, yeah, they take
his family too. No, I don't think just shot his family. I
think they just shot him. I knew that was see was coming. It's
weird to know that that's how it ends. I was always looking forward to
that scene, the one that i'd seen before. I forgot how much of
the song they played like. He almost the whole thing. But I felt
no emotion fifteen years ago, whenever when I went to some party, I
was just like, that's effing weird, strange, strange way to end this
legendary series. But I felt a lot of emotion this time now, being
invested in and condensing it in the last two or three months. What's odd
As Christina came over last night. She's never seen one episode of The Sopranos,
but she arrived right as I was starting the last episode, So twenty
years later, now she is in the boat that I was in watching the
last episode for the first time, and she's sitting there and then I look
at her phone a little bit and kind of watching. But she sends the
end too, and she looks up and watched that scene and then write when
it happens, there's silence in my house, and she goes, what happened?
Why are you crying? But she looked over and again I'm not bawling.
I was just a little teary eye experiments that I made. The experience
was over. I mean, this is one of the most iconic, last
iconic, no doubt, now beloved, who knows and controversial, yes,
but you know, I for the first time I got to experience it,
you know, as an actual watcher of the show, and it's amazing.
What a what a crazy ass way to end it. Then I go to
YouTube and watch a lot of theories and stuff of which there are millions.
The iconic breakdown. It's so good, and there's there's hints in the episode
and in the season that Bobby once tells him, you know, like,
I don't think you hear it, the last the one that gets you.
You never hear it, I don't know, just him looking up at that
bell and hoping Meadow parks her damn car. Yeah, oh it was so
great. Watching Meadow try to parallel park was stressful, yeah, for whatever
reason. And then watching strangers walk in and then one of them looks apparently
looks at Tony. Then he goes to the bathroom. I don't know,
he's yeah, well see, I thought. My real theory is that he
had heart attack, because they had been kind of foreshadowing that later and later
and later in the series. And they're having a biggest bush of onion rings,
isn't it. Yeah, a big basket of onions, And I have
my theory is that he had a heart attack. This is the theory.
That's it, you goose, No theory is wrong, and any number of
things, including bullet and heart failure were right on the menu for Tony Soprano.
I agree with you though, that so I it's not to me.
It's something the greatest show of all time. But I did thoroughly enjoy it
when I watched it two years ago. But I didn't enjoy it. I
didn't watch it the way I watched Breaking Bad or Breaking Bad. I would
endo Sunday night standing on my couch holding up a foam finger with a TV
intent on it because I was so excited for TV or do you get one
of those? And I couldn't wait and I made it and I couldn't wait
for next week's episode on AMC. And the communal way we watched television has
kind of gone now except for football and live sports really yeah, and Game
of Thrones. We did it a little bit. Yeah, he'll do it
only on HBO, I think, yeah, and a lot of times though
I'll get to it on Monday or Tuesday, you know, rarely do it
too on Sunday night anymore. I missed that. I love doing that.
I'm not arguing what's better, but Breaking Bad was easier. I mean there
was a story, and there was like a cliffhanger, you know, more
traditional television. This thing. It would just end with him looking at a
duck, you know, some watching something about the war on TV. In
the episode ends very artsy, and I tend to prefer I mean, I'm
an idiot, you know. I liked and I spoon fed. Oh my
god, what's happening? I cannot wait for next week. But to see
it all back to back, that's a hard show to not click next episode
and have that song kick in again, and uh, you realize you've been
on your couch for six hours, that your whole day is gone. I
did three hours yesterday and I had three episodes left, and it's just fun.
It's just a show. It was a great show, dude, fantastic.
Well, I watched it, dude, I thought it for years.
I remember watching the first couple episodes and gone, man, it's just it's
too old, it's too long ago, and this just doesn't look great because
it does take you a minute to like just accept that TV doesn't look like
it did in two thousand and two anymore. And I remember watching that first
episode, or maybe maybe I get through two and you're going, I'm just
not gonna do it now. And then finally, for whatever reason, two
years ago, I buckled down and committed and did it. And by the
time you're through five episodes, you're like rolling with it and you kind of
love it. Yeah. So the top twenty TV show for me, I
think. But maybe outside of that, I loved it. It was funnier
than I expected. Yeah, there's some really annoying characters that I was just
done with a lot of them. Oh, Janie, I mean hell,
even the damn uh what's her name? The psychiatrist. Some of those scenes,
I'm just I don't know. Yeah, I turned around on her grossing
or whatever. But the unnecessary rape saying okay, yeah that was never yeah,
that was never recovered, Tony never got hurt, got the vengeance for
that. I don't know. Good show though, good show. I'm either
Boardwalk Empire or maybe Fargo next. Fargo probably harder to watch though to find.
I think Fargo's oh not it's on Hula, Oh it is all theft
stuff. Is that's good? Okay? Yeah, Fargo's great. Man,
I think I would do Fargo just because season five is coming in November.
Come on, man, too far. Porto Cavar is great too, but
I think you might almost need Like Portol Cavar is great. Porto Empire,
to me, is very similar to The Sopranos. Fargo's a little wilder.
I'm actually gonna watch The Many Saints of Newark probably today. Yeah, and
I've seen that already too, actually, but I rewatch it. Yeah.
I don't even know what I was watching the first time. Other than an
independent movie. I wouldn't get any reference. So yeah, I'm gonna do
that probably today and yeah, then I will determine you played two hot mops
and then we'll uh, we're gonna talk to Ben maybe do the ass storm
was Ben? Yeah, Ben likes. I have two are here. It's
the hot rochi By Advanced Hair Restoration. I have two here JJ right now.
Hey, guys, I'm driving through. We'll talk and oh my god,
there's a fourteen foot ana Kona crossing Highway three seventy seven. Call Gary,
Call Gary. He sounded like he was in his room and not driving,
but an electrics Kevin and Jonathan from Waco here. You know, my
wife brought up a good point this morning. What if you guys actually inspired
someone to check their A one C and they found out they were diabetic.
You would be heroes. You could be heroes. You already are heroes.
I love you. Have a good day. Thank you. Jonathan, he's
right, yeah, check your A one C. I thought he was gonna
say, my wife brought up a good point this morning. That was a
first I had just hang out out. That would have been more of a
Dingo's Morning News moment, Live spot. Little Negligent Ding's morning news joke wouldn't
have been that funny Ben Rogers and the Ben and Skin show is in the
house. Hello, Ben, guys, I want to commend you. I
know that uh Mike Stroy pretty much wins all the awards on the show.
But if you guys were to ever get a collective award, it would be
for your incredible coverage of the snake situation in Oklahoma. Thank you. That's
all Kevin Man, he loves that story so much, knows to tail coverage
different angles perspectives, like I was obsessed with caval Kante, but so is
everybody. Yeah, nobody's obsessed with the Oklahoma City Python Bithon, but he
is. No. I just look, and I want to I want to
be careful about this because I don't want to criticize an advertiser that spends money
in our station, for sure, because our partners with our partners right,
our family, their family, and we can't even have a radio station if
they don't buy advertising. Family. But Gary Garfield to me, and again,
I apologize if I'm getting in trouble here. I think I agree with
you, man, Gary. The first thing he did was discredit the expert,
like he's very territorial about snake experts. He's the smartest guy in the
snake room. Yeah. And his first thing he said was this guy's sketchy
because we don't know his name is micro Mark. That wouldn't that guy's fault.
That's my fault. That's all. That's all on me, and I'm
I'm not trying to attack Gary. Gary's been great. He's been spending a
lot of money. As he's talking to Brad Jimmitter about his fourth quarter by
today. Yeah, and we want and once those spirit Halloween stores convert back
to snakes pluses, which is good. Though it's the time of year when
it gets whether it's a little colder not as you know, much need.
A lot of people don't want to get a snaky and had to be forced
to warm it all the time. They had to buy snakes in the warm
summer season. But him rallying hard against pet snake adoption in favor of retail
pet purchases and some sort of legitimizing of that was very odd. He's all
about customizing the experience. Yeah, and drone delivery of snake habitats. Do
you think the twenty four hours do you think there's a lot of care and
service after the snail or after the sale at Snake's. Plus he is a
pretty much once you walk out the door, you're on your own door slams
behind you in dead bolts. Yeah. I just feel like he runs it
like a car dealership. Yes, you know, it's always about TTL get
you out the door, and then it's like he'll only help you get an
extended warranty on the snake. Yeah. Yeah, and you should. You
should. It's a smart thing. You should. Well. He also dealt
with uh, it's kind of been in the news a little bit. I
don't know if we've had time to cover it, but there's also been a
strike at a couple of his stores. A couple of his Snake workers had
basically gone on strike because they didn't feel like they were getting paid enough and
it felt like they were getting treated with care. And I think it's because
we never got to the bottom of the part time employee that was bit by
a venom of Snake and it was just kind of just covered up. And
that's not bad. On air, I was told, yeah, don't dump
that. Well, I mean, look, it was it was in the
paper. So and I think the US, the USW is nearing a resolution
with with that whole thing anyway, hopefully. I mean you would expect the
United Snake Workers. Yes, yeah, yeah, there's the union. When
he got out of the paper, though, his comment was very ted serandous
of Netflix, how he's attacking the actress strike when he said, don't worry
it was it wasn't a full time employee. When he said that, I
mean that got everyone up in arms. Can we play the last two categories
of ass Storm? Yeah, they're not as fun as the first five,
because I feel who can get the all seven games? We'll play me and
Christina against Danni and bat. Let's go, Ben, all right, let's
go. It's Arizona ass Storm, and this is a ass Storm. Game
six is Tales of World Series pasted. Okay, Okay, what I know?
Just get luck, Christina. Okay. Minutes before the start of game
three of the nineteen eighty nine World Series, an earthquake hit the Bay Area.
It suspended the game for ten days. Think about that earthquake. It's
ten days to you which two teams were playing in that World series where a
Bay Area earthquake happened in nineteen eighty nine. That was the uh Oakland and
it was An Oakland and his hand friend. Yeah at the Bay Area.
I was gonna put them both together. We'll, I'll just work together,
right, We're all blood points, all black friends for Shizzle, for Shizz,
for Shizz. Only one World series has ended with the runner being caught
stealing. It was in nineteen twenty six. Name this very famous player who's
not known for his speed or for having a fit physical figure, caught stealing
in the World series. You know those teammates you're like, come on,
what are you doing? And it was he was trying to steal home.
I think you're not gonna make it. We say, you crushed three steaks
for breakfast. Are you still battling the hiccups? Thinger off and on?
Mostly off today, but they're back. You know. I have heard stories
of people getting it for like a decade. Yeah, I'm on day three.
Candidate for that too, Day three. The Mayo Clinic. The Mayo
Clinic says you should contact a doctor if you've experienced hiccups for forty eight hours.
Not trusting a clinic named after mayonnaise, I think you should take some
Jardians. Yeah really, Yeah, it's a little pill with a big story
to tell the stories that it covers. Hiccup. He's a lot little known
fact. I just didn't have time in the two minute commercial to throw that
in. But at the end of the commercial, uh, Scuba Steve does
the the speed talking thing also cures hiccups. Yeah, we don't want to
play an I don't think. No, I'm not gonna vomit. Oh god,
I might finish your damn game. No, I say, I don't
have any more funny ones. Yeah, you're right that one funny. Uh,
Christiana, would you would you say I cried at the end of Sopranos
or no? Yeah, I wanted to talk about that, zach It stopped
me and said, y'all were talking about the finale. She was amazing,
But yeah, did you say the whole ending of what happened on the show
with you? Because she just said what happened? Why are you crying?
Yeah? Looked over because it goes to black. I'd never seen an episode
of Sopranos before, and I was intrigued. I loved it. But yeah,
when it just goes to black and you've never seen an episode, You're
like, what what's going on? And I look over and Mike's got all
these tears and is I am like, what's wrong? Why are you crying?
Feeling just moisture? I would and say tears, right, Yeah,
they were not falling on your cheek. You're right, they didn't breach my
cheek bones. It wouldn't like make you less of a man if I did,
I would tell you what I said. No, I'm not ashamed of
it. I cry. I cry in emotional moments in my life, always
with joy, never with sadness, and not with pain. So I'm not
a pee, but I care about He cares about Tony. I care about
things. Was that the finale of the whole show? Yeah? He finished
and die? Yeah he did. I thought they were like at a booth
that right, he got shot in the head by the guy and the members
only Jack really, Yeah, that's the easy way out. I thought David
Chase confirmed it. We didn't really confirm it. I thought he was just
at a booth, like at a diner and the onion rings with his family.
Yeah, I get a heart atacke. I've never heard that theory,
and it's not even a good one. A heart attack, No, man,
I think there's enough foreshadowing in the later seasons, and he's eating a
big plate of onion rings. But that's he always eats something terrible. That's
not exactly and they were telling him you got to stop, you gotta start
eating healthy. I actually want to hear Christ Can you imagine doing four hours
with me today? With this day? We need to give our friend Danny
a moment to kind of end the show. So let's all let's all be
silent. Danny. You really lean in there and just kind of tell us
whatever's on your mom damn it, don't stop believing. Hold on to that
street. There it is if they're still here tomorrow. Yeah, we got
medical advice from a dentist today today. You se how much that helped.
He said, hydrate. The first thing I do in that last break is
I drink the most big, biggest glass of water, and I come back
in here and I got the hiccups. So maybe hydration isn't the answer.
Maybe you don't know what you're talking about, doctor Ted. Maybe stick to
molers and lay off my diaphragm. About that, he did a hiccup advice
from a dentist. You're gonna be okay, buddy, They're gonna they'll make
a necklace or something. They're gonna be gone today. I believe in you.
What chance we missed today? We have a Oh is the Hulk coming
on with our friend the Mosquito? Is that today or tomorrow? Okay,
well we got what we got, by the way, the Mosquito and the
whole thing. The guy that we pranked deleted his Twitter account. Are you
serious? Yeah? He's like, I don't even want to be around.
Did you reach out? No, he didn't take it out on a bowling
alley? Did it? Making sure they're still looking for that guy? Yeah.
Yeah, we're gonna get a blogger in Maine to discuss the Cowboys ram
Rams game with the world, the upcoming Frozen four wahouln. We missed today
