Unknown Speaker (1:26): Hi. This is Sarah Silverman. Why don't you stick around and see what happens next?

Rob Spiwack (1:30): Mike O'Mara, Radio Entertainment. Well, what have we here?

Unknown Speaker (1:35): It's a podcast. Fun. And what excitement we have today.

Rob Spiwack (1:39): It's the Mike O'Mara show with Mike O'Mara and Rob Spiwack. Now here's Mike.

Unknown Speaker (1:52): So good to see all of you.

Unknown Speaker (1:54): I'm looking a lot of different monitors that I'm playing with my shot because it's like when we get this, it makes it go the other way. I'm good.

Unknown Speaker (2:03): When you when you say

Mike O'Mara (2:05): saliva down. When you said John was just making me laugh. We we here it is. Right before we were taping, Rob said he's gonna run out and get a soda, and I was taken back because I said, the last time he was almost dead, the the the the doctor had said stay away from soda. And I said, well, I hope it's not a sugary soda.

Mike O'Mara (2:29): And then Josh held up a seltzer and said, no. It's one of these. And then you came back to the show, and you had a sunkissed Well, you know Zero.

Larry Pennington (2:39): You're both right.

Mike O'Mara (2:40): And then you invoke the name of your father who Right. You know, we we used to drink them.

Unknown Speaker (2:45): Right.

Unknown Speaker (2:46): And Like like a protection method. Like,

Unknown Speaker (2:48): don't make

Unknown Speaker (2:49): fun of me for soda because of my dad.

Larry Pennington (2:51): It had nothing to do with that. And by the way, Josh, I do have a seltzer as well. I have a polar lime soda or a flavored seltzer.

Mike O'Mara (2:58): But are you supposed to be drinking even diet soda at this stage, with your most recent health scare where you've been supposed to

Larry Pennington (3:05): I've been prescribed to drink it. Hey. You I have to drink it.

Unknown Speaker (3:09): He's lying.

Larry Pennington (3:10): I am lying. I No. He said there's no he said the sugar is the problem. And, you know, everything has been taken away from me, and I want something bubbly. And I'm trying to find what's best as far as, you know, diet sodas, which mostly suck.

Larry Pennington (3:24): The seltzer is a good compromise, but I like sometimes a little more flavor than that.

Unknown Speaker (3:29): And I'm not anti soda. I just know Mike was set up

Unknown Speaker (3:33): to. Drinking a soda right now. I drink a liquor. But I know you were set up. Diet Coke.

Sarah Silverman (3:37): You were all set up to yell at Rob about having a Coke. And then he comes out with a sunkiss and his dad and then you can't say anything.

Unknown Speaker (3:46): Well, no. He's sure laughing laugh. That's what you were laughing at. Okay.

Unknown Speaker (3:49): Yeah. I was laughing at it. He shut you down.

Larry Pennington (3:52): Well, it wasn't meant to shut him down in any way. It was just what popped to mind, and it's why I tried this particular brand. As my father would drink a lot of beer, especially when I was around, we drink a lot of beer together. And he didn't drink much after dinner, so we tend to eat late. And we drink beer, and we drink beer, and we drink beer, and then we'd eat, and he might have one or two more beers.

Larry Pennington (4:11): But when he was done drinking beer, he would open up an orange soda. And he liked Sunkist Zero, and that's what I think of when I see it. That's all. Yeah. Alright.

Larry Pennington (4:19): I mean, it's I it wasn't meant to as a tactic, certainly. It was just what was on my mind.

Mike O'Mara (4:25): No. I I didn't think it was a tactic.

Larry Pennington (4:27): Accused me of having a tactic with it. He said I was trying to shut you down. In fact, I wasn't.

Unknown Speaker (4:32): Whether you had tactic or not. No. Whether you had a tactic or not, it did shut down down Mike. Whether

Larry Pennington (4:38): you no. And a what you see, I've worked with Mike longer than you, and it wasn't that Mike was shut down. It's just that Mike stopped caring. He was done. I answered the I mean, am I right?

Unknown Speaker (4:48): That that

Unknown Speaker (4:49): would what's the same.

Unknown Speaker (4:50): I'm right.

Mike O'Mara (4:51): It's the same thing that, you know, my concern is that that that you don't do anything you're not supposed to do. I get freaked out when I see you, take a poll on a on a, like, a nebulizer or a breathalyzer or not a breathalyzer. Hey. What are those things? An inhaler, Mike.

Mike O'Mara (5:10): An inhaler.

Larry Pennington (5:11): An inhaler. And, actually, I haven't used the inhaler, in over a week.

Unknown Speaker (5:15): Well, that's great. Okay. Because but but I just freak out. And then You must

Larry Pennington (5:18): be my the Palmicort inhaler right here, which looks like something could save your marriage. But instead, this is not a type inhaler like, you know, an l shaped one in the old days. Sinking in my chair. You are, and I'm trying to match your head level, and I can't I do

Unknown Speaker (5:33): gotta get a new chair.

Larry Pennington (5:34): Yeah. Oh, wait. Isn't it don't you have a really expensive chair, though?

Unknown Speaker (5:37): Yeah. That I've had for a long time.

Unknown Speaker (5:39): Mhmm. Well,

Larry Pennington (5:40): if you're good you wanna buy chairs, Mike, if you wanna buy chairs, make sure you send some to the junkies.

Unknown Speaker (5:45): Yeah. Well, that's do you know that You can't Yeah. Do you know that steal

Unknown Speaker (5:50): all the chairs. No. They steal the good chairs. No?

Mike O'Mara (5:53): No. No. I, when when I took over the is it when I took over the afternoon show? Yeah. Yeah.

Mike O'Mara (6:01): And I thought as a gesture of goodwill that at that particular point, we started sharing a studio. Did we not?

Larry Pennington (6:09): Yeah. Well, we were you were making efforts for all of us to get along because we had gone through an era.

Unknown Speaker (6:15): That we never didn't get along, but I Don had some issues with the junkies, but I never did. And and but I think I was You were you were paying

Sarah Silverman (6:22): them off to not judge you on Don's.

Unknown Speaker (6:24): No. No. Not not

Unknown Speaker (6:25): at all. It's what it's

Unknown Speaker (6:26): not like. Hold on a second. Let's go back. Let's go back to what happened. Yeah.

Mike O'Mara (6:34): And fill in the blanks as best you can, Rob Spewag.

Unknown Speaker (6:37): Okay. Alright?

Mike O'Mara (6:38): Because you were there when I thought that we shared a studio, which we did. We shared a studio with the junkies when my show started. We moved into the other studio.

Larry Pennington (6:54): We had one room that was known at when we started there as production one, it was not the air studio. And what happened is they wanted to have a studio that was better suited for larger show like the junkies because they have four primaries and occasionally guests. So they moved the actual studio, the Air Studio Winslow. Oh, wow. I'm glad you said Winslow because I thought perhaps Michael.

Unknown Speaker (7:17): Shut up.

Unknown Speaker (7:18): Michael, I'm trying to make a living in here.

Larry Pennington (7:21): Is my level okay, Josh?

Unknown Speaker (7:23): Yes.

Larry Pennington (7:24): Okay. I thought so. Alright. So so what happened? It's

Mike O'Mara (7:28): twofold. We walked in and the chairs were terrible.

Unknown Speaker (7:31): Yeah. It was horrible. They did it. It was horrible. It

Unknown Speaker (7:34): was it

Larry Pennington (7:34): was like everything at CBS. It was a rush job.

Mike O'Mara (7:38): And it was rundown, and it was not nice. And we had moved back from Rockville, Maryland.

Larry Pennington (7:43): Another rush job. Yeah. Right. It was gonna be we had a certain person in management there, and we don't need to say names, Jeff Hedges, that was excited that all the shows were going to be originating from one building, and it was gonna be a

Mike O'Mara (7:56): new time of synergy. I didn't even know about that.

Larry Pennington (7:59): Yeah. He was excited about the synergy that we were all gonna be in the same building together.

Mike O'Mara (8:03): I didn't I didn't need I was not even aware of them.

Unknown Speaker (8:05): He loved that. I mean, because we had the junkies in the morning.

Sarah Silverman (8:09): Was what was great about the I listened in to WJFK then is the synergy that the shows crossed over because you were all in the same building.

Unknown Speaker (8:16): But And and

Larry Pennington (8:16): the crossing before that, there was no synergy because we were a lot largely from different locations, and, the certain personalities that work there didn't wanna get along with other shows. Yeah. It was like there was, competition that you would wanna reserve for another station. The competition was inside the building, and that's not healthy.

Unknown Speaker (8:36): So when we finally got back, it's one of the first things that I Yeah. That I did. I said, let's get back to you. Yeah. And you Rob wanted to go there.

Mike O'Mara (8:44): I wanted to go there. And so we went back in, and then we were sharing a studio. And I said, these chairs are suck. You know, I think it'll be a really nice gesture if I pop in three, four new new chairs, new office chairs to do that. And so I bought them, and I put them in the the the studio.

Mike O'Mara (9:02): And then, well, you can take it from here, Rob, because they were not it was a it was a bit disappointing that the chairs lasted, what, a week?

Larry Pennington (9:13): I believe within two days, there were holes in the arms of the chairs because Leather leather armrests. Yeah. You know, nervous disc jockey. They But I mean, still leatherette, but still they looked fine. They were brand new, but pens and pens

Unknown Speaker (9:28): and was the painter?

Larry Pennington (9:29): I think they all were because

Mike O'Mara (9:31): after You remember the one you you thought was the ultimate one?

Larry Pennington (9:35): I you know what? I don't have Cakes.

Unknown Speaker (9:39): Cake seems to have that greatness in history.

Unknown Speaker (9:41): Do you remember now?

Larry Pennington (9:42): I guess it makes sense. But the problem was

Unknown Speaker (9:45): Jakes had had fucking shredded because he didn't the chairs that I bought.

Larry Pennington (9:50): He didn't just poke at them because once there were holes, then there was

Mike O'Mara (9:54): He started to pick at them like like an episode of the birds.

Larry Pennington (9:57): See, disc jockeys are are prone to do this. In old days, when microphone screens were metal with fabric, like, inside them, a lot of times you go and all the fabric would be gone because a bored disc jockey would take a sharpened pencil and poke all the holes out on the microphone causing hundreds of dollars of damage because you're bored. Also, big hunch of the wooden side.

Mike O'Mara (10:20): I'm so sorry. Alright. I'm so sorry. I I've been, I haven't been doing my duty. We have to check-in with somebody.

Mike O'Mara (10:26): It's time to check-in with Larry Pennington today. We have to check-in with Larry Pennington. If we could do that, Josh, I would really, really appreciate that. Hello. You know, we've met Pennington,

Josh (10:36): welcome to our restricted home here in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. It is Saturday. We are going to go well, we think we're gonna go to the Blue Moon. They have that half price happy hour. We might go to the club.

Josh (10:47): We might go to the Top Of The Pines. It's one of those we haven't decided. Chris and Ken are out of town. We usually don't get together with friends on Saturday unless we're all going to the country club, which sometimes we do. But otherwise, we tend to that's one of our nights that is not set in stone.

Unknown Speaker (11:05): Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (11:05): So it is a recent one.

Josh (11:08): D Day, we are a military family. Dave was in the air force twenty five years, retired.

Unknown Speaker (11:13): Okay.

Josh (11:14): Also in Vietnam. So we're wearing

Unknown Speaker (11:16): go Dave.

Josh (11:16): Red, white, and blue. We have our wonderful little flag pins.

Unknown Speaker (11:20): Are we gonna see

Unknown Speaker (11:22): blue gloves. Those white linen pants.

Josh (11:24): Yeah. Which Dave wearing? Jewelry with my lapis room ring to go with all the red, white, and blue. Dave is wearing one of those shirts we bought, that whole haul that we got in

Unknown Speaker (11:36): One of those shirts.

Josh (11:37): Silhouette belt. He's got another one he's never worn tonight that he's wearing to and he's gonna make it work for red, white, and blue. Let's see what wearing right now.

Larry Pennington (11:46): Let's see wonder which one person

Unknown Speaker (11:49): he's wearing his hat.

Unknown Speaker (11:50): This is Nantuck red.

Josh (11:52): Yeah. That's his version the red for tonight.

Unknown Speaker (11:55): And he

Josh (11:55): has that new shirt on, which has starfish and

Unknown Speaker (11:59): I don't know what else it's Oh, I think that hat cheapens the outfit.

Unknown Speaker (12:03): I might agree.

Unknown Speaker (12:05): And is

Unknown Speaker (12:05): stand a little closer. I can't

Josh (12:08): Red, white, blue hat is star stars and stars stripes hat.

Unknown Speaker (12:12): Stars and stripes. Yeah.

Josh (12:14): And it's hot. I'm wearing this is that that is belt. The shirt's from belt, the jacket. This jacket's from J. Crew.

Josh (12:22): It is Okay. Seersucker.

Unknown Speaker (12:24): Okay. And

Unknown Speaker (12:25): Bob, your

Unknown Speaker (12:25): uncle, have a

Unknown Speaker (12:26): wonderful day. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks. Sorry, Rob.

Larry Pennington (12:29): A hat can make an outfit or ruin an outfit. And I think that, Larry had a nice hat. Well, I think It's almost like it's almost like they wanted Dave to look silly.

Mike O'Mara (12:39): Well, I mean, you know, that's your opinion, but, I mean, you certainly, know hats, and you know how to speak of hats. That's true. I get that. But back to the, yes.

Unknown Speaker (12:48): Go

Unknown Speaker (12:48): ahead. I'd like to stick

Unknown Speaker (12:49): with Larry for one more moment. Because I got curious during his video, and I went to chat GPT and said, where did Larry meet David? And and it came out, and I well, and I said, where did Larry Pennington meet David?

Larry Pennington (13:03): Are we allowed to guess before you reveal it?

Unknown Speaker (13:06): Sure. But you're wrong. No matter what gonna guess

Unknown Speaker (13:09): not gonna guess what this thing says.

Larry Pennington (13:11): My guess is that when David was in the service, Larry was in the USO. Okay.

Unknown Speaker (13:17): Alright. Stop it. Now he's you know? Yeah. This is like a new toy that he can't play with.

Larry Pennington (13:24): Do you have a guess, Mike, where they met?

Mike O'Mara (13:28): Yes. Josh, can you, can you read the the GPT thing?

Sarah Silverman (13:34): Yeah. According to available biographic information, Larry Pennington and David met at an elementary school where Larry was David's first grade teacher. They then later married and after David's twenty five year career in the air force.

Larry Pennington (13:53): That means there's quite an age difference.

Unknown Speaker (13:55): Yeah. It doesn't look like.

Sarah Silverman (13:56): No. Unless I mean, that could be fifteen years, twenty years.

Larry Pennington (14:00): Yeah. Or Larry could have been, you know, a very bright young man and got his degree early, or maybe David was left back a few times.

Sarah Silverman (14:08): This is on an article from about them on the Camp Rehoboth Community Center.

Unknown Speaker (14:14): That's a great website. I'm surprised I didn't ever see it there.

Unknown Speaker (14:16): I I'm there all

Unknown Speaker (14:17): the time.

Unknown Speaker (14:17): I bring something to, to school, and then the then my my friends play with it more than I play with it, and they ruin it

Unknown Speaker (14:25): for me. I don't think

Unknown Speaker (14:26): we've ruined it. I don't think No. No. No. Just wanna

Unknown Speaker (14:30): see more of David.

Larry Pennington (14:31): Yeah. We do. And I really you know what? I hope that's the most recent D Day that they filmed that because if they've gotten into the habit of making long swooping entrances like an MGM movie in the nineteen thirties for David, I loved it. I would like to know which one plays the piano.

Sarah Silverman (14:49): I'm I'm hopeful that the Internet is wrong about this, and they screwed up a Larry and a David.

Mike O'Mara (14:55): I look. I'd rather not have you do any more prodding of this. This was this is fine.

Unknown Speaker (15:01): What David said.

Mike O'Mara (15:03): Josh, we put this into, would you put this into chat GPT for me, please? The word of the day is microcheating. Microcheating.

Larry Pennington (15:16): Does it have to do with the guy from dirty jobs?

Mike O'Mara (15:19): I think it has to do with online following or commenting, with someone who is not your significant other.

Unknown Speaker (15:30): I've got a list of examples.

Unknown Speaker (15:32): Alright. Great.

Unknown Speaker (15:33): Very good.

Sarah Silverman (15:33): It would be flirting with someone through text or social media, hiding conversations with someone from your partner, keeping a date in the app just to look, Regularly liking or commenting on one person's photos

Mike O'Mara (15:49): Uh-huh. Or have another Alright. Stop it right there. Stop it there because the late great, HBS. I was gonna say you're describing my father to a team.

Mike O'Mara (15:57): One of the great micro cheaters. Mhmm. God love Kathy, who I gave a big hug to at the memorial service. That was microcheating. That was

Unknown Speaker (16:06): When you hugged her, I came up, and I said little early to be hitting on the widow, isn't it, Mike? When you fly up north, cross state lines and leave your

Mike O'Mara (16:14): little white bedroom. I went over to, speak with her and, got, I don't know what the there's a term for it. When you're speaking where no. When you're speaking to someone and somebody, somebody interrupts, somebody, like, come completely comes in and carpet bombs that know that.

Larry Pennington (16:36): No. That's really not it, especially for an outside venue.

Mike O'Mara (16:40): When someone want alright. You know this. You've had it. We've all had it happen to us where you're talking to say, maybe the comments, and I haven't been looking at them today. Maybe they can help me with this.

Mike O'Mara (16:50): You're you're in the middle of a conversation, and it's somebody you really wanna talk to. It might be somebody important that you want your quality time with, like a coach at a baseball game. I have the varsity coach who I've, on two separate occasions, been having a conversation with, and a person will come in, very pushy person will come in and, and will be Steamroll? It will be interrupting my conversation and just take over the conversation. And I'm a pretty well versed person in conversation, and I also know how to hold my own.

Mike O'Mara (17:27): So it's very disconcerting when that happens. So so that happened to me when I was talking to your father's widow, Kathy.

Larry Pennington (17:36): Mhmm.

Mike O'Mara (17:36): And, yeah, it was, I don't isn't a grenade the woman who goes out with the girl who goes out with another girl and messes up your relationship? I think it's If you're trying hit on a particular girl, they bring a grenade

Larry Pennington (17:49): with it's limited to a certain, sex or gender. I think it's anyone who comes along to ruin the possibility of a hookup as a grenade.

Mike O'Mara (17:58): That's But it wasn't a hookup. I'm just trying No. I know that. Conversation with when you're at a memorial, the person you wanna talk to is the widow. Yes.

Sarah Silverman (18:07): The kids describe it as main character syndrome or main character energy that someone comes in and needs to take over the whole conversation.

Mike O'Mara (18:15): Okay. Alright. Well, I I'm not sure. But but getting back to the reason we were talking about this, the micro cheating that, that Bob would do was really not specific to one person, was it? I mean, it was a lot of different.

Unknown Speaker (18:30): It was

Mike O'Mara (18:30): Did he ever in to the best of your knowledge? Because you're his son.

Larry Pennington (18:35): I

Mike O'Mara (18:35): am. Did he ever spend more time interacting with some of these ladies? Because I certainly think that would have been a possibility.

Larry Pennington (18:44): I can only think of one, and that was, missus Marcus Serta. He was all over that.

Unknown Speaker (18:50): You're now you're being just silly.

Unknown Speaker (18:52): That is silly. That is silly.

Unknown Speaker (18:53): Being really, really

Larry Pennington (18:54): silly. Think he had anyone. He would but you see, he would micro cheat Deceit. With a with a with a celebrity. Like, Mamie Van Doren, who is now, 100 years old, but he would fawn over Mamie Van Doren.

Larry Pennington (19:09): Right. And but it's not cheating if Kathy's aware of it and shakes her head ruefully when it happens. It's not cheating. Well, I don't know because it says you're hiding from your partner.

Unknown Speaker (19:19): Was there

Unknown Speaker (19:20): a So, I mean, everyone knew about

Sarah Silverman (19:21): had to tell him that's enough.

Unknown Speaker (19:24): Mimi Van Turen? No. No. Never did.

Unknown Speaker (19:26): With any.

Unknown Speaker (19:27): No. I don't think so. I don't think so.

Mike O'Mara (19:28): He would be the reason he got the name horny Bob Spiwack is in HBS later on Yes. Is because he would be always on and then, really, we were with him at the beginning Yeah. The genesis of the book of faces when, everybody was starting to get into it. And he would, be very exuberant and lived on it and specifically would never miss a good looking lady.

Larry Pennington (19:57): He said his own good looking ladies. He did his pinups. You know? He was all about it. But if it was a real person, a real accessible Facebook friend, for example, early on in the, years of Facebook, he went through my list of friends and started friending people, ladies, that I went to high school with.

Unknown Speaker (20:17): And I think many of them

Unknown Speaker (20:19): How did that happen? He just went to your website, and he went to your page?

Larry Pennington (20:23): And, yeah, and he searched friends. And I I don't know if he knew if he targeted them as class of 89 people, but it turned out and I think a lot of people accepted the friendship request because we had the same name. And if you're not looking really closely at the now remember, my father, much better looking than me in every way.

Unknown Speaker (20:44): Back in the day. I mean,

Larry Pennington (20:45): that was his. Like a supermodel he was.

Unknown Speaker (20:47): MO.

Larry Pennington (20:48): Yeah. Right? Yeah. But if they just saw, like, a little like, a dime sized picture of a handsome fellow named Robert Spiwack, maybe they're in. And he then like, let's say he friended someone I know named Christie.

Larry Pennington (21:01): And then it would be her birthday, and it was yay for Christie. Or if Christie worked in a certain business, it close to deal.

Mike O'Mara (21:09): Yeah. But always at arm's length.

Larry Pennington (21:11): Yeah. I don't think he ever were I don't think he ever ever called anyone on it. Like, you

Mike O'Mara (21:16): know, trying to take look phone. About I don't know I don't know whether it's been thoroughly defined or not. But if you're talking about micro cheating, you're really focused on a particular individual, and you probably have, is it micro cheating if Carla slips off to sleep and I'm watching

Unknown Speaker (21:38): If the spouse is sleeping, it doesn't count.

Mike O'Mara (21:41): If if she falls asleep Yes. And I'm watching a video of a Dua Lipa concert Right. Is that micro cheating?

Larry Pennington (21:52): Well, do you feel that you're watching the Dua Lipa concert with hopes of getting to know Dua and perhaps having a time with that's not cheating. It's it's it's a concert.

Unknown Speaker (22:01): Is the sound on or off?

Mike O'Mara (22:04): On. Yeah. Headphones are enjoying the music. My AirPod my AirPods Max.

Unknown Speaker (22:09): Yeah. Mhmm. Alright.

Mike O'Mara (22:10): By the way, my AirPods Max that connect with everything but what I want to connect with. So in other words, Carla will call me. To Carla. They well, they when Carla will call in Yes. I mean, it's it's amazing how much time.

Mike O'Mara (22:25): When I retire in the evening and I and I jump into the marital bed

Unknown Speaker (22:30): Yeah.

Mike O'Mara (22:31): And Carla is playing her game on her phone Mhmm. And I'm on my computer, it sometimes takes me a ridiculous amount of time to connect my AirPod Maxes back to my computer in the short walk that I've had from the living area to the master bedroom.

Larry Pennington (22:50): Even if you come with the laptop and the headphones at the same time, they disconnect?

Mike O'Mara (22:56): Last night was insane. And it sounds like to me. You know when they say forget this device? Yeah. I have to forget the device twice before it'll connect back to my head.

Larry Pennington (23:07): Sounds to me that your your headphones are micro cheating on you.

Mike O'Mara (23:10): That's exactly what now you're you're being silly again. No. I'm not. They're finding something else. Legitimate.

Mike O'Mara (23:17): No. I do not require a tissue, Jimmy Hoffa, when Gross. I'm finished watching.

Larry Pennington (23:23): That's not okay.

Mike O'Mara (23:24): But I will be macro cheating. I I watch generic you know, for example, is it micro cheating if someone is not paying attention to what I'm doing and looking over my shoulder, and I'm watching, northern, European pole vaulters of the female form? Oh,

Larry Pennington (23:44): female ones. Yeah. No. I don't think so because you're not trying to get with nor was it micro cheating the other day when you and I were watching the video of Anne Margaret. For one particular reason, we were watching that video.

Larry Pennington (23:56): Mhmm. But it's not cheating because we weren't hiding it. Okay. I can be a little bit of a flirty guy myself, especially when I was drinking, and I think it is best the micro cheating has to be, I think, defined by the opponent or your wife or whatever you call them. And, like, there is a picture of me

Unknown Speaker (24:15): The opponent. Doesn't it sound like Rob Rob has, has, like, been into the gummies today? You know him better than I do.

Sarah Silverman (24:22): It sounds like he's had this conversation before about where the line is.

Larry Pennington (24:26): Alright. Have you had a gummy? I have not. Not in weeks. Okay.

Unknown Speaker (24:30): Eight weeks anyway. So, there is a pic two days. Well, yeah, last night, but certainly not during

Unknown Speaker (24:36): the day. Sunday.

Larry Pennington (24:38): There is a picture at a WJFK event with me laying a rather significant kiss on our business manager, miss Bobby. And in the background, Carrie is laughing at us. And so because of that, it I mean, a kiss on a coworker could absolutely be even more than micro cheating. But if your wife is there and laughing at you no. No.

Larry Pennington (25:00): No. No. Mhmm. No micro cheating at Kings Dominion.

Mike O'Mara (25:02): But it's micro cheating would be, liking a photograph of someone you know.

Larry Pennington (25:11): Yeah. And hope that advancing maybe the relationship a little bit.

Mike O'Mara (25:15): Or texting someone and say, I really appreciate where you and you can see where it's a slippery slope.

Larry Pennington (25:22): It is. Like, would it be okay if someone that I knew that I'd never had a relationship beyond a friendship with? What if I said, you look like a knockout? Is that cheating?

Unknown Speaker (25:33): It's not microchief. It would be if you if you know the person.

Unknown Speaker (25:38): Okay. Alright.

Mike O'Mara (25:39): It would be if you know the person, you say you are gorgeous or you are a knockout of somebody that's, like, comparable in age or not even comparable, but someone who you know personally, that's micro cheating.

Larry Pennington (25:50): What if they're cheap baiting you by putting up a picture of themselves where they know they look good? Because they are putting it up not if if they're putting it

Unknown Speaker (25:57): up just for you.

Unknown Speaker (25:58): Doesn't look good.

Mike O'Mara (26:00): Who's the narcissist now if you think that someone who posts a picture a good looking picture is directing it solely at you. Well, no

Unknown Speaker (26:08): well the captain says what do think Rob.

Larry Pennington (26:11): No it doesn't say that you guys are taking this at the wrong way right saying let's say it's summertime, and, one of your Summertime. Summertime. Summertime. If they put up a picture of perhaps someone at the beach in a bathing suit, and they put it up because they know they look great. And they're sort of casting a they're casting a line out

Unknown Speaker (26:32): there for people to like

Larry Pennington (26:33): it for you. You look great. It's not for me. It's for everybody.

Mike O'Mara (26:37): Yeah. But the only time you're micro cheating is if you respond to that person you know and say, that is, you know, that really shows off your breasts.

Larry Pennington (26:48): Hey. Great ass is what I usually write.

Unknown Speaker (26:51): No. It's just Or Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (26:52): Oh, yeah. Okay. Gonna go there again.

Mike O'Mara (26:55): Sorry. Mhmm. Joey Bagadona says Rob's lips are macroachy. Rob, are they are they bad today? They're not.

Unknown Speaker (27:04): Okay. I

Unknown Speaker (27:04): don't think they're worse

Unknown Speaker (27:05): than that. They seem red.

Unknown Speaker (27:06): No. Well, Mike, that's that's that's just lip gloss. I want my mouth to pop. I'm Don't don't micro cheat with me. Are you saying that I look like a knockout?

Unknown Speaker (27:18): No. You are, aren't you?

Unknown Speaker (27:19): I think the the problem is

Unknown Speaker (27:20): Gross, though.

Sarah Silverman (27:21): The term micro cheating. It's not a real thing. It's never been a real thing. It's just some new slang, and it's really just whatever your spouse or partner is comfortable with.

Larry Pennington (27:29): And, Mike, in the old days, it was just called being courteous. You look nice today.

Mike O'Mara (27:35): In the old days, it was easier.

Unknown Speaker (27:39): And what Because in

Mike O'Mara (27:40): well, I'll tell you exactly. And it it would not long ago, Rob, to something. I'll give a great example. It's a great one. Because you had the, the supper club or whatever you had the the the the the neighbors.

Larry Pennington (27:55): Now there was never a sleepover. It's now disbanded. It was four couples that lived in the vicinity, and we called it our supper club.

Mike O'Mara (28:01): And, you know, anybody could have a group of neighbors that they socialize with. And you walk in, you see couple one, couple two, then you get to couple three. And you're you're particularly interested in couple three because the wife of in couple number three is somebody that you are, you know, formidably attracted to. And so it's just like, hey. How are doing, Peggy?

Mike O'Mara (28:25): Hi, Rick. Good to see you. Oh, Judy. Judy and Ross. Good.

Mike O'Mara (28:30): Good to see you. And then it's like, well, hello. Look who's here. And that was the form of micro cheating.

Larry Pennington (28:38): Well, by by definition, all spouses were attending every supper club. So is it micro cheating if you're doing it in full Who's the

Unknown Speaker (28:46): lady that I you showed a picture of and I thought was, fetching, and I used to make commentary about it.

Unknown Speaker (28:51): Was it Haiti?

Mike O'Mara (28:52): What's that? That's the lady. Name? What was the last name? I think they're divorced now.

Unknown Speaker (28:56): The Chubbics.

Unknown Speaker (28:57): Are they are they split?

Larry Pennington (28:58): They are. And I believe they've well, I know that Rob has remarried. Okay. Congratulate him on that.

Mike O'Mara (29:03): Are you still in contact with them at all?

Larry Pennington (29:05): Vaguely. I will send him a text on his birthday. He moved to North Carolina, and she's elsewhere as well. Yeah. Julia is still close friends with the daughter.

Unknown Speaker (29:12): So, I mean, they're not out of our life.

Unknown Speaker (29:14): Life life goes on.

Larry Pennington (29:15): It does. And that made that well, I'm not saying blame. I'm just saying that this is what happens is when you have eight people that are well balanced like that. No. It's not.

Unknown Speaker (29:27): JLP, you stop it.

Mike O'Mara (29:29): Oh, yeah. Trouble. They were They're hanging on every word today. They're very active. A super chat would be nice.

Larry Pennington (35:22): What would you be the best I Blake Lively sort of is in a a blind spot for me. I can't play I know the name, but I can't play Soussius.

Mike O'Mara (35:29): Believe she plays a a tough, hardscrabble, South Boston chick in, the town or the departed. I forgot which one it is. I think it's the town. And Is she married

Unknown Speaker (36:14): Where is it?

Larry Pennington (36:16): Ryan Reynolds. He owns a cell phone company. No? Mint Mobile, Bob's your uncle.

Unknown Speaker (36:21): It's

Unknown Speaker (36:21): Bob's your uncle's cellular.

Unknown Speaker (36:23): You'll have to hit it wrong.

Unknown Speaker (36:24): Okay. Not at all. Ladies and gentlemen,

Mike O'Mara (36:26): the news. Blake Lively Lively has officially filed a massive legal motion today

Unknown Speaker (36:32): Mhmm.

Mike O'Mara (36:33): Requesting that justice, Baldoni pay her Justin Baldoni, I believe it is. Yeah. Pay her more than $8,000,000 in attorney's fees and litigation costs. The submission comes immediately in the wake of the high profile court settlement ending their lengthy legal battle. Well, it sounds like it's not over.

Mike O'Mara (36:54): Yeah. But that's the blockbuster film that is called it ends with us, and there was all sorts of trouble between those two. Legal analysts say the multimillion dollar request marks a major escalation in the bitter and public fallout between the movie's two costars. I don't know what happened between them, but this goes on and on. And I thought it had been settled, and now it's not settled.

Mike O'Mara (37:20): And he plays kind of a philandering Mhmm. Douche Yeah. In this, particular movie.

Unknown Speaker (37:26): So She sounds like she's trouble.

Unknown Speaker (37:28): I'm I'm gonna go against lawyers. Yeah. You think so? Really?

Unknown Speaker (37:33): $8,000,000 for legal.

Larry Pennington (37:35): Yeah. It's a lot of money.

Mike O'Mara (37:37): Hit the thingy again because we're a rapid fire today. Speaking of legal, the Kanye West lawsuit has closed. Legal representatives for Kanye West are rapidly closing in on a final settlement regarding the severe, is what they call it, severe sexual assault lawsuit filed against the mogul. Disclosures from inside the courtroom today confirm that both sides have virtually agreed on financial reparations. I know my way around legalese.

Mike O'Mara (38:09): That doesn't mean it's over yet, though. Right?

Larry Pennington (38:11): I think it's as over as the war is over.

Mike O'Mara (38:14): The Yeah. Yeah. The move will prevent the high profile matter from heading, to a public trial just as, retail ventures for his brand are set to relaunch. So he's trying to do this quietly out of court.

Larry Pennington (38:29): And if my father was with us, I know what he'd say. He'd say yay for yay.

Mike O'Mara (38:33): Yay for yay. What is your feeling, either one of you, on, Dave Portnoy? How do you feel about the guy that does the, well, he has Barstool Sports. He's a meg megabillionaire and all that stuff, and he's got the, pizza. Yeah.

Mike O'Mara (38:47): He's impressive guy. Ross, do you like? You don't like him?

Unknown Speaker (38:50): No. Because he's more successful than me. So I

Sarah Silverman (38:53): hate He put in a lot of hard work with a self printed newsletter to then turn it into that empire.

Larry Pennington (39:00): What do you have? Like a ditto machine?

Sarah Silverman (39:02): Yeah. Like, he would print it out in his, like, dorm room and go hand it out.

Unknown Speaker (39:06): See, I hate it.

Unknown Speaker (39:07): At on at the buses. Okay. And so

Mike O'Mara (39:10): Alright. Well, he dropped a bombshell in court disclosures today involving the, call her daddy podcast networks. That's the big one. Revealing accusations claim that, I should say that this is very poorly written. Revealed accusations claim that popular media hosts Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklin.

Mike O'Mara (39:33): Do you know those two, Josh? I do. I don't know. You know the, your way around the

Sarah Silverman (39:37): bar personal people? Yeah. Alex Cooper has the call her daddy podcast, and it was a big deal that she left the Barstool network a few years ago.

Mike O'Mara (39:46): Apparently, the, big bombshell is that the hosts Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklin plan to break their contracts by fabricating sexual harassment claims against Barstool Management. Portnoy, Portnoy testified that the recently uncovered emails proved the strategy was a coordinated extortion plot to force an early exit from the company. Well, that's interesting that they got hold of those emails, but, you know, it's a big deal. And it's the world, you know, world of podcasting that we live in right now. And he's kind of an outspoken dickish kind of guy.

Unknown Speaker (40:24): Mhmm.

Sarah Silverman (40:25): Yeah. His opinionated. This is and this is this came out with him promoting his new book that comes out, like, next week, which is cancel me if you can. So he's kind of trying to push the limit.

Unknown Speaker (40:36): Alright. I like what he says about the, Red Sox ownership, though. So that's why I like Dave, Portney.

Larry Pennington (40:40): Do do you think the the league the stuff got out because he has a book coming up?

Mike O'Mara (40:45): Well, it sounds suspicious. Yeah. This is going on, and he's promoting something. Yeah. God, I get tired of this manipulation.

Unknown Speaker (40:53): I do

Mike O'Mara (40:53): too. I really, really do. Fair. Alright. The final nominations for the ESPY Awards are officially out today, teeing, teasing a massive celebration of the greatest sports contest of the year.

Unknown Speaker (41:59): it. It's not funny.

Unknown Speaker (43:01): You never know. The game?

Larry Pennington (43:02): Did you enjoy it? I I thought it was great. I thought what was nice is the German team not only did their uniforms match, but they all had blonde hair.

Mike O'Mara (43:09): They were all fantastic Arians.

Larry Pennington (43:12): Same tie all the same height too. Five foot eight. I, you

Mike O'Mara (43:15): know, I haven't gotten into it. I'm sorry. I try every year, and then I just can't. Too long. It is.

Unknown Speaker (43:21): And it's like the players are too far away.

Unknown Speaker (46:03): Can open. I think in

Mike O'Mara (46:04): the summertime, it's not really a good idea to, steal butter, but just my opinion. The, greasy smuggling operation melted down, in the heat leaving a very obvious trail of evidence directly en route. And by the way, it's Florida, so we should mention that when you're talking about hot. It was directly, I guess, a snail trail en route to the exit line. Yeah.

Mike O'Mara (46:46): resisting retail detention. I guess these are real charges. But Yeah. Anyway, he, he slipped out, and there was butter everywhere. It was, just a bit this is a mess.

Mike O'Mara (46:59): We'll be right back with more show. I wanna find out what narcissists say. But if you like movies but you feel that you need to bone up

Unknown Speaker (47:08): Bone up.

Mike O'Mara (47:08): On your knowledge of classic motion pictures, well, you need to fix it. You gotta get on the stick. But where do you start? You start with my favorite podcast, Hicks Nick Sticks Picks. Great podcast.

Mike O'Mara (47:22): The podcast about Rob's movies. Every week, join our own Josh Schroka as he watches a classic movie hand selected by his cohost Rob Spiwack. What is it, this week, fellas?

Larry Pennington (47:36): We just dropped it this morning. Viva Las Vegas, the Elvis Presley movie, and Josh's take on it may surprise you.

Unknown Speaker (47:42): Now you just do one of these a week. Right?

Larry Pennington (47:44): Yeah. Well, every week or ten days or so, and we alternate color and black and white movies to keep Josh sane. But every one of them, I don't think I've brought a movie yet that Josh hasn't found at least one good thing about. There's been ones that he doesn't particularly love, but he likes something about all of them. And the ones that land with him always surprise me.

Unknown Speaker (48:04): Will I ever be able to play on Hicks Knicks? Have a mic. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (48:07): I told you when we launched it, you have an open invitation.

Unknown Speaker (48:11): You just have

Unknown Speaker (48:11): to show up.

Unknown Speaker (48:12): I just have to see the movie. Alright. Yeah. Well, that's easy. You know?

Unknown Speaker (48:16): Does it have to be

Mike O'Mara (48:17): a movie I have to watch for that occasion, or can it be a movie that you pick and, you know, say, hey. Have you watched it? What well, you're laughing.

Unknown Speaker (48:24): What's going need to know in advance what we're gonna be discussing. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (48:27): We could have we could have Mike pick the movie. We could have a special episode where Mike brings the movie.

Larry Pennington (48:32): Yeah. It would be called Mike's picks, Nick's sticks picks. Well, why are you Hicks? No. I'm just working your name into the title.

Unknown Speaker (48:40): And, Mike, we get on the telephone so we can press play at the same time.

Unknown Speaker (48:45): Oh, and watch it together.

Unknown Speaker (48:46): Yeah. And watch it together.

Larry Pennington (48:48): Actually, the next movie we're gonna watch lying. You're lying. No. I'm just trying to say you're we're gonna watch, Mike, is a short film that you would love. Not short short, but, I mean, it's way it's, like, 90.

Larry Pennington (48:59): The sweet smell of success with Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis.

Mike O'Mara (49:02): Have a good time, Josh. Whether it's a comedy, a horror, a western, a musical color, or black and white, watch the movie in advance and listen in. You might learn something. You might disagree, but you will enjoy yourself. So you have already, Josh Soroka, you have already watched, Viva Las Vegas?

Sarah Silverman (49:20): Oh, yeah. I've watched it. I gave my opinion on it. It's out on the podcast now.

Unknown Speaker (49:24): It's out on the podcast if

Unknown Speaker (49:26): you it or not, Mike, his first he had never watched an Elvis movie before.

Unknown Speaker (49:30): And it's People watched

Unknown Speaker (49:31): three minutes of Elvis.

Mike O'Mara (49:33): And if people are gonna tune into the podcast, they probably wanna watch the movie too.

Larry Pennington (49:36): Thank you. Oh, I think it's a great idea. Although I think it's entertaining even if you don't, but it helps if you play along.

Unknown Speaker (49:41): Sure. Don't have to. Again. Because Rob tells the story first of the movie.

Unknown Speaker (49:45): How would you rate, Anne Margaret in the, in this movie?

Unknown Speaker (49:49): Has discussed a lot in the, in the synopsis and the re and the analysis of the movie.

Unknown Speaker (49:55): Anne Margaret is perfectly fine. I'm sure

Unknown Speaker (49:58): she's might have been some micro cheating with Anne Margaret during

Sarah Silverman (50:00): the time talks it. The problem I have with Anne Margaret is Rob Spielak. Why? It might be he's on that I believe he brought

Mike O'Mara (50:10): up the word. Is he gross when he talks about it?

Unknown Speaker (50:12): Yeah. Yeah. It's a little creepy.

Unknown Speaker (50:13): Yeah. He doesn't know how to do sex. He's never known how to do sex

Unknown Speaker (50:15): on the show. Kids that do it right that time.

Unknown Speaker (50:17): I'm talking about talking about it. You're always gross.

Unknown Speaker (50:20): I don't

Mike O'Mara (50:20): think it's when he's talking about Anne Margaret?

Unknown Speaker (50:24): It's just a bit much. It's it's you know, there's I there's a scene where Elvis is under the car, and he slides out on a creeper. And it's creeper is, Mike?

Mike O'Mara (50:32): Creeper is what you put on you lie on your back so you can work underneath your car.

Unknown Speaker (50:37): Josh teaches me things on the show too. I didn't know what it

Unknown Speaker (50:39): Oh, but you didn't know that.

Sarah Silverman (50:41): No. Because but the problem is the entire movie, it's the entire podcast, it seemed like maybe with Anne Margaret, Rob was a bit of a creeper.

Unknown Speaker (50:49): Okay. I get it. Sounds like a

Mike O'Mara (50:51): great episode. Just visit Hicks, hixnixstixpix.com, or, wherever you get your podcast. Tell a friend, subscribe, give it five stars, do all the things. By the way, the name is great. It is a great name.

Unknown Speaker (51:09): Hicks Nick Sticks Picks. Yeah. Check it out.

Unknown Speaker (51:12): You'll you'll like it. I think you will.

Mike O'Mara (51:14): Alright. Things that narcissists say. You've been trying to get this on the show for a couple of days now.

Unknown Speaker (51:18): Yeah. Now I wanted to I

Unknown Speaker (51:19): wanted to ask you

Larry Pennington (51:20): a question. Do you know why narcissists are called narcissists? What the derivation of the word? Yeah. Narcissists.

Larry Pennington (51:26): And what happened with narcissists in Greek mythology?

Mike O'Mara (51:29): Narcissus flew too close to the sun?

Larry Pennington (51:32): No. That was that was another one. That was Icharis. Who was that? Icharis.

Mike O'Mara (51:36): Icharis. Icharis. Narcissus looked in the mirror all the time. Right? There was something about his reflection.

Larry Pennington (51:45): He spurned the advances of, some royal or some godly nymph. And to punish him, the gods made him fall in love with his own image, and he spent the rest of his life staring at his reflection in the water where he withered and died because he couldn't stop looking at himself. Wow. Very self important.

Unknown Speaker (52:03): Narcissus. And also,

Larry Pennington (52:05): Narcissus is the genus for all daffodils, but I don't think that's related.

Unknown Speaker (52:08): Isn't that also the story of Dorian Gray?

Unknown Speaker (52:11): No. He would share

Unknown Speaker (52:12): with someone died?

Larry Pennington (52:13): No. No. Dorian Gray stayed the same age, but he had a picture of himself that got older.

Unknown Speaker (52:17): And the rent stayed the same as before.

Unknown Speaker (52:20): Exactly. Right.

Unknown Speaker (52:21): Okay. I get And

Larry Pennington (52:21): it turned out it was all a dream. But there are things that narcissists will say to you to play upon the fact that they want the person to be at fault, not the narcissist themselves, because the narcissist is so into themselves, they wanna blame the other people even when they're acting evil. I get that. Yeah. Watch out for people that say these things to you.

Larry Pennington (52:41): You please react. At number one, it says, god. You're so jealous and insecure. A narcissist would say that to someone.

Mike O'Mara (52:49): I got a similar thing, from a narcissist I knew when I when someone would say this to me is one of the great things a narcissist will say. You're so sensitive. Yeah. And I would always counter with, no. I think it's you're so insensitive.

Unknown Speaker (53:05): Yeah. That's true. Correct? Yeah. Precisely.

Larry Pennington (53:08): They say that you're jealous and secure because they actually feel threatened by your confrontation.

Mike O'Mara (53:12): And they say that a lot, Damone.

Larry Pennington (53:14): They do say it a lot, Damone. This is fascinating. Alright. They will also say they'll try to make you feel special not by saying that you're great, but by saying all of my exes are crazy.

Unknown Speaker (53:27): Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I get it.

Unknown Speaker (53:29): I get It's like, you know, that's really not high praise. You feel special? Well, they might you feel special by not calling you crazy themselves

Unknown Speaker (53:37): feel special.

Larry Pennington (53:38): Yeah. But you see, if you're not calling someone crazy, that's not complimenting them. That's just saying

Mike O'Mara (53:44): Harrison, if you're gonna say the name is wrong, a generic negative, you've got to be clearer and specify what you are referring to. Is he referring to the name narcissist? I think he what it is? Yeah. And I think we got it right.

Unknown Speaker (53:57): I thought we got it right. You know?

Larry Pennington (54:00): A narcissist will actually come up to someone in a bad situation and try to stop it no matter what they did. They'll say, oh, you're overreacting.

Unknown Speaker (54:10): Yeah. Yeah. That's a biggie. That's an absolute biggie.

Larry Pennington (54:13): And then, again, that is another subtle way of passing the fault off to the other person. Mhmm. And it's not a compliment, you know, at all. But Right. That's what they say.

Larry Pennington (54:23): And then they will manipulate you with what is called love bombing. So if they feel they're not in totally control of their in total control of the relationship, they'll say, I love you more than anything. And it's, again, trying to make the person feel special. But Well,

Unknown Speaker (54:38): hold on. Hold on. That can be said, though, by a non narcissist.

Larry Pennington (54:42): Yes. But what they're hoping is that your soft side will take over, and you will forget all the negativity that the narcissist has done before.

Unknown Speaker (54:50): Okay.

Larry Pennington (54:50): And then, also, they say, this is one of the things narcissists say in hopes you come back to them after you left, keeping you in a narcissistic abuse cycle. You want a per one

Mike O'Mara (55:01): of the let me see. GLP design says, you want a perfect example of an insecure narcissist? Check out your buddy, Nestor Aparicio, Rob. Do you know who he's talking about?

Unknown Speaker (55:11): Yeah. He's a disc jockey. He's a sports host in I do. Baltimore. I don't think he's a narcissist.

Sarah Silverman (55:15): He no. He is a he is in he is a narcissist. He comes across that way. But, is he are you and him buddies, Rob?

Larry Pennington (55:24): No. I mean, I've met him before. I like his work. I think it's great that he he's such a fan of Baltimore. I love when people celebrate their hometown.

Sarah Silverman (55:31): He's known Baltimore as nasty nester.

Larry Pennington (55:35): I think he puts a lot of the act on. That was always the thing I got. Because, I mean, there are people in the radio, and Mike Gilback me up here, that are very narcissistic. Yeah. But almost everyone on air has a narcissistic attitude if it's part of the show or shtick or not.

Larry Pennington (55:52): But whether they're narcissists in real life, I'm not qualified to say,

Mike O'Mara (55:55): because I'm not there. Any relation to, Luis Aparicio?

Unknown Speaker (56:00): That I don't know.

Unknown Speaker (56:01): There's a trivia question for Josh. Who is Luis Aparicio?

Unknown Speaker (56:06): Al Fiore.

Larry Pennington (56:07): Wrong. Isn't he hosting the ESPs this year?

Unknown Speaker (56:10): Short stop for the Boston Red Sox.

Larry Pennington (56:12): Oh, you should've just guessed a Red Sox. Mhmm. Because you know, Josh, that would've

Unknown Speaker (56:16): Easter operation.

Unknown Speaker (56:17): I knew it was a Red Sox. I was just trying to get the position.

Larry Pennington (56:19): Time ago. And is it a Red Sox or a Red Sox since they spell it with an x?

Unknown Speaker (56:24): It's a Red Sox.

Larry Pennington (56:26): Okay. Yeah. I thought so.

Mike O'Mara (56:27): By the way, congratulation. Sorry, nationals. Another win five in a row for the Boston red sox. Quite a role they are on right now. I am thrilled to Are you referring Mike to

Larry Pennington (56:37): the Boston born and Boston red sox?

Unknown Speaker (56:39): It's time to meet up. We have the Boston. What were we gonna say, Josh? I'm sorry.

Sarah Silverman (56:42): Nestor is, this says that he is first cousins once removed from Luis.

Unknown Speaker (56:48): Oh, Luis.

Larry Pennington (56:49): How about that? Look at that. I wonder if this, narcissistic disc jockey comes up to his cousin Luis and says, hey, man. You have trust issues.

Unknown Speaker (56:58): That's another thing. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. I get it.

Larry Pennington (57:02): That that there that's sort of gaslighting you, wearing you down, and making you dependent on them.

Mike O'Mara (57:08): Doug. Boy, would somebody read the last comment? Is it Doug Teralt?

Unknown Speaker (57:14): I think so.

Mike O'Mara (57:15): Would Red Sox are only nine games under 500 now.

Unknown Speaker (57:19): Well, I mean, they're catching up. They are staying

Unknown Speaker (57:21): in on the Orioles.

Unknown Speaker (57:22): Yes. They are. Hallelujah.

Larry Pennington (57:24): Maybe a narcissist should go into the locker room. Do you remember the pep talks in the movie, the natural that they gave the team? Yeah. To the New York guy.

Mike O'Mara (57:30): Is a disease. The New

Larry Pennington (57:33): York knights. What they need to do is bring a narcissist into the red sox locker room and say, guys, you need to toughen up.

Mike O'Mara (57:39): You have trust issues and need to toughen up. A lot

Larry Pennington (57:43): of times, parents will say this, narcissistic parents, in instead of giving emotional support to their children, they will just say, you need to toughen up and not take their side. Well Did you get any of that growing up? Let me

Mike O'Mara (57:56): give you an example of my son. Okay. Yeah. Quite a baseball day yesterday. Pretty intense.

Mike O'Mara (58:02): Very, very hot. Like, the hottest day we've had down here in a long time, and he's got a, batting lesson followed by practice with his new team. And, you know, and he's just beating the crap out of himself as far as not being, not hitting as well as he wants to hit. And, you know, just got tremendously emotional, and I had to finally say, you gotta get out of your own head. You gotta get a you gotta get out of your own way.

Mike O'Mara (58:27): And I don't I wasn't coming at him like a narcissist. I was coming at him because I saw him. He was, you know, taking the crap out of himself.

Larry Pennington (58:34): The very fact you're saying that is supporting him emotionally. It's not telling him to deal with it or fix it. You're saying, you know, you're you're you're saying, I appreciate what you're doing. Mhmm. But you need to maybe take it in a different way.

Unknown Speaker (58:46): Then I

Unknown Speaker (58:46): say, I love you.

Unknown Speaker (58:47): Michael, you need to call Nestor Aparicio.

Sarah Silverman (58:50): Well, speaking of Michael, I believe he has Spanish in five minutes.

Unknown Speaker (58:54): Oh, alright. So, where was this?

Sarah Silverman (58:56): Tuesday last time you got the reminder.

Unknown Speaker (58:59): Wow. Alright. Hold hold on a second.

Unknown Speaker (59:02): That's why he Spanish stuff, Josh.

Mike O'Mara (59:03): Funny he had Spanish this morning. Michael.

Sarah Silverman (59:06): Maybe maybe the schedule changed. Last week, I believe there was an interruption in the show around 04:00.

Mike O'Mara (59:11): No. His buddy, Donnie is here. So

Unknown Speaker (59:13): Donnie Simpson?

Mike O'Mara (59:14): They're they're they're at, yes. Donnie Simpson, the legendary, BET host and

Unknown Speaker (59:19): disjunctive. Fun.

Unknown Speaker (59:21): Hey, man. Let's go fishing for snook. Yeah. You know, I was turn it up. Donnie Simpson.

Unknown Speaker (59:27): Yeah. Yes, Josh.

Sarah Silverman (59:29): Well, I was reminded when you brought up Nestor again. Mhmm. Is that my brother once went on Nestor's radio station because Nestor was hosting a contest for the next great Baltimore sports talk person.

Unknown Speaker (59:43): And your brother wanted to, give it a shot?

Sarah Silverman (59:46): Yeah. Matt went and got it the shot. He gave it he got moved on to the next, the next level, and Nestor said or, like, it might have even been the finals. Nestor said, well, you have to come in tomorrow at this time. And Matt said, I gotta work.

Sarah Silverman (1:00:00): And he said, well, then you're just gonna have to skip work. So Matt didn't go.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:04): Wow. But he was close.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:06): But he was close. Yeah. He came and did the appearance at, like, Hooters or something to do

Unknown Speaker (1:00:10): a on

Unknown Speaker (1:00:11): Nestor, you prick.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:12): I don't know. I'm on Nestor's side. If you wanna be a good broadcaster, you can't How do you

Mike O'Mara (1:00:15): know this, Nestor? How do you know a sports talk host, Rob?

Larry Pennington (1:00:19): He shows up on my feed all the time.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:21): He's very annoying. He's very, narcissistic.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:25): I don't even know this guy. If you want to, Mike,

Sarah Silverman (1:00:28): you He's very mad because the Orioles, 25 ago, kicked him out because this he decided to host a protest against the Orioles called, like, black, free the birds, I believe, was the name of his thing.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:42): Okay.

Sarah Silverman (1:00:42): So he got a bunch of his listeners to come and walk out in the second inning and protest in the Orioles. So he got all his press credentials taken away.

Larry Pennington (1:00:51): And I believe his gimmick now, because he mentions it a lot, is he will go to a game if someone gives him tickets, but he will never buy another Orioles ticket for the rest of his life.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:01): You know what

Sarah Silverman (1:01:02): to reach out to the new ownership, and they would not they would not let him back in. So he's pretty better.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:07): I can't believe you two are experts on this guy. I couldn't pick him out of the lineup.

Sarah Silverman (1:01:11): If you wanna check him out, it is be more positive. This is Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:15): I like Baltimore positive.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:16): Oh, be more positive. You know what?

Unknown Speaker (1:01:17): You know

Unknown Speaker (1:01:18): what I think I want? Positive.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:19): Okay.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:19): Anyway, let's move on.

Larry Pennington (1:01:20): Mike, if you wanna skirt any real responsibility for a situation or outcome, all you gotta do is say to the person, well, it's not my fault. You made me do it.

Mike O'Mara (1:01:30): Well, that's, you know, that's how many arguments where people do that. But, yeah, I don't think that's only the domain of a narcissist, but is it is definitely a narcissistic thing to say.

Larry Pennington (1:01:39): Yep. As is we're perfect together, which is another love bomb to keep people in the cycle.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:45): Yeah. Okay.

Larry Pennington (1:01:46): This one is a little tough.

Sarah Silverman (1:01:47): Well, I've heard Mike tell you that.

Mike O'Mara (1:01:49): What? What's that? We're perfect together.

Larry Pennington (1:01:53): No. He was talking about himself in New Jersey, weren't you? Like, governor Tom Stanton. About you and Josh at King's Dominion. Mike, a way to make someone feel worthless is to steer the conversation towards the narcissist.

Larry Pennington (1:02:07): They will say, god, no wonder no one likes you.

Mike O'Mara (1:02:10): Wow. And that's just nakedly cruel.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:12): Demaining and disrespectful.

Mike O'Mara (1:02:14): And by the way, I think we have now sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, one of the great narcissists of all time.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:20): The greatest of

Unknown Speaker (1:02:21): all time. A malignant narcissist.

Larry Pennington (1:02:23): And he'll tell you that there's been other narcissist, but he's the best. Right. Strongest.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:27): Have you seen the time that fireworks are going off this for fourth of July?

Larry Pennington (1:02:31): Isn't it, like, midnight or something?

Sarah Silverman (1:02:33): They're going off at 11PM because the narcissist has to speak first.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:37): Oh god.

Larry Pennington (1:02:39): Oh, that's great. You know what? Because fireworks are essentially for the kids. Let's keep them out till eleven.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:45): Good job.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:45): Then have them get home

Unknown Speaker (1:02:46): from DC. It's ridiculous.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:48): Way to ruin the fourth of July.

Sarah Silverman (1:02:49): And that's if he stops talking.

Mike O'Mara (1:02:51): You know, that's pretty that's even if you're the worst person in the world Yeah. Wrecking the fourth of July Mhmm. And especially wrecking the fourth the 200 birthday, July 4.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:04): The Sester's couldn't have sent it.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:05): Is really you got it. That is really doing something if you if you wreck that.

Larry Pennington (1:03:10): I understand not only that, but JD Vance is responsible to light all the fuses. He got a full box of wooden matches.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:17): Well, it's it's Hemen Rubio. Whoever survives moves on. Alright.

Mike O'Mara (1:03:21): Give us a couple more.

Larry Pennington (1:03:22): Okay. I'll take it come from narcissistic parents or partners, and it's sort of a callback.

Mike O'Mara (1:03:27): You're too sensitive. This normally comes I mentioned to you.

Larry Pennington (1:03:30): You're right. That comes in the evening when you're losing an argument. How about a gaslighting phrase from a partner to convince you to ignore all the red flags and mistreatment? Let's just focus on the good.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:41): Oh, yeah. There it is. I've heard these things.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:44): Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:44): I know what you're talking about.

Larry Pennington (1:03:45): And, also, you're so selfish. That's a good way to derail an argument as well. Mhmm. Sort of like no one no wonder no one likes you. Right.

Larry Pennington (1:03:52): You know? It's it's just they're trying to keep control of the actual argument, and then all these things are are evil, but even worse if you make the fireworks later. Saying to someone, you're a bad person. You're just a bad person.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:05): I had that said to me. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:08): All three of them.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:09): Three wives have said that to me.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:10): All of them? No. No. Not the most recent.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:13): No. I think the most recent's doing really good.

Larry Pennington (1:04:16): Now The current one. Point as the, as the first two missus O'Mara's were nearing the end of their run Mhmm. Did you ever say to them or did they ever say to you, well, you'll never find anyone as good as me?

Mike O'Mara (1:04:29): I don't know if I used that particular verbiage Mhmm. But I'm sure the gist of that was said. Yeah. Probably was said by me.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:38): Yeah. Yeah. I I believe I I

Unknown Speaker (1:04:40): say it all the time.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:40): Yeah. I said it to my kids this morning via text.

Mike O'Mara (1:04:43): Actually, what I what I said was, you'll never find

Unknown Speaker (1:04:49): as long as you live. Someone who cares about you the way

Unknown Speaker (1:04:57): I do. Hey, Lou Rawls. Yeah, Rob. I have one

Larry Pennington (1:05:01): of your quotes in here, something you always used to say to missus Rawls.

Unknown Speaker (1:05:20): He's gone. Oh, darn. Happened

Larry Pennington (1:05:22): to him. When they wanna control an argument, they will often say, you can't go there or don't go there.

Unknown Speaker (1:05:29): Don't go there. I hate that.

Larry Pennington (1:05:32): I've seen it. Absolutely hate that. Mhmm. Also, if you're doing something that pisses off the narcissist, they can often belittle you by saying, you look stupid doing that.

Mike O'Mara (1:05:44): F the narcissist, Rob Spieway.

Larry Pennington (1:05:46): And I hold in my hand the last narcissistic red flag thing you should avoid. Anyone who says, I'm smarter than you, so you should listen to me.

Unknown Speaker (1:05:57): Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty naked right there.

Larry Pennington (1:06:00): And it's, you know, it's not that you know, I have a lovely family, and I've worked with so many good people. And there's some people that are sort of right in that that category, I think. It's weird when you hear it all Everywhere. You hear it all sort of centralized there. So, Nestor, work on that.

Unknown Speaker (1:06:13): Work on that.

Mike O'Mara (1:06:14): We'll we'll be back with more on the Mike O'Meary show. First, I wanna tell you, here's a suggestion. After a long workday, is your brain still working overtime, stressed out, keyed up, unable to shut off? Yeah. This Independence Day, declare your independence from all that noise.

Mike O'Mara (1:06:31): That's why we love soul out of office THC gummies and drinks. They're made to help you relax, unwind, and actually enjoy your evening. Whether you wanna kick back after work, sleep better, laugh a little harder with friends, or just quiet the mental fireworks in your head, Soul has you covered. The gummies taste great.

Larry Pennington (1:08:17): of that. Time you if you were just shopping, you weren't looking for something in particular.

Unknown Speaker (1:08:22): Mhmm.

Larry Pennington (1:08:23): When's the last time you actually went to a store to look around? I don't do it anymore. I usually go to Amazon through our website to find it specifically. But if I'm just in the mood to spend $20 on something fun, I'll put in a keyword of something I like, and I'll I'll skip around too much. I go into 5 and dime in the old day.

Mike O'Mara (1:08:40): Yeah. I have a story to tell you, regarding, the, fine Amazon company. Yeah. Amazon retail company. You know?

Unknown Speaker (1:08:47): Have you heard of it?

Unknown Speaker (1:08:47): Yes. They have a website. I think they mostly sell books.

Mike O'Mara (1:08:51): I well, I got underwear there. I got I I basically when I pants. You might find this strange, but on my trip up to Virginia when I was staying at the fabulous airport Marriott Yeah. I I departed my hotel room, and I left, count them, two pairs of boxer briefs in the little drawer next to my bed.

Unknown Speaker (1:09:14): I didn't know you were an I didn't know you were

Unknown Speaker (1:09:16): an unpacker. Them. Did you hear what he said?

Unknown Speaker (1:09:20): I love them. I didn't know that in a hotel, you were an unpacker. I thought for a a short trip, you would leave everything you'd operate out of your suitcase.

Mike O'Mara (1:09:27): No. I'm a I'm a chronic unpacker. I like everything hanging up and in drawers by the well, within ten minutes after I get in the hotel room.

Larry Pennington (1:09:35): Were they used, or were they fresh and ready to go? They were

Mike O'Mara (1:09:39): freshly laundered and Good. Good.

Unknown Speaker (1:09:41): And ready

Unknown Speaker (1:09:41): to go. And Autographed? Of course. Just look at him just poaching over there on

Larry Pennington (1:09:47): the right. Thing, Mike, is him. He's having he's with a lot of family right now, and I think he's excited to talk to his buddies.

Mike O'Mara (1:09:54): Oh, that's nice. Yeah. That's nice to be there in the outer space.

Unknown Speaker (1:09:57): Nice full house.

Mike O'Mara (1:09:58): Oh, that's great. Say hi to everybody up there for me. I was going to say that well, I'm gonna have to probably cop to my brand

Unknown Speaker (1:10:07): now. I

Mike O'Mara (1:10:08): I'm a fruit of the loom consumer.

Larry Pennington (1:10:12): That's sad. Because you used sad. Didn't you

Mike O'Mara (1:10:14): used to exclusively buy Nordstrom brand underwear? Nordstrom brand boxer shorts were my

Larry Pennington (1:10:20): Yeah. Go to. Yeah. Back in the good old days.

Mike O'Mara (1:10:23): Yeah. And they were, you know, a little pricey, but they, you know They feel great against the cheek,

Unknown Speaker (1:10:28): don't they? Do you remember when I

Mike O'Mara (1:10:29): did the ad campaign and I said the Nordstrom, boxers feel great against the balls? Remember that popular in the post, the

Larry Pennington (1:10:37): Washington Post? That. And I also remember there was the print ad that underneath it was you posing, and it just said winning streak.

Mike O'Mara (1:10:45): Right. And by the way, the TV commercial that ran on channel nine, channel seven, and channel four Yeah. Was, there was no audio at all. It was just, the Nordstrom underwear logo up in the top screen, and I was going like this.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:02): Those were the days, weren't they?

Mike O'Mara (1:11:04): But I purchased on Amazon Yes. A three pack of boxer briefs. Yeah. What I didn't realize was that these particular boxer briefs and by the way, it's the Getaway collection. Wow.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:21): Those are the ones that I wear.

Larry Pennington (1:11:22): I think Josh is thinking about the Getaway collection right now with all this family in one house.

Mike O'Mara (1:11:27): The the Getaway collection, I I wore them, and I got up in the morning, and I was going out, of course, to do what I always do, play a And then and the to get away. And in the evening, I noticed that I had purchased the wrong kind that

Larry Pennington (1:11:44): Different collection? Different fabric? What was the variance?

Mike O'Mara (1:11:47): Different size, leg. I I like a little more length in my So you had, like,

Unknown Speaker (1:11:53): a, yeah, a mankini

Unknown Speaker (1:11:54): is what you bought. Like, the five inch instead of the seven inch.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:57): And then, and then, I, you know, I put a little show on for missus O'Mear. I'm sure she loves that. That was yes. It was. I said, look at these.

Mike O'Mara (1:12:07): And, I recreated, you know, the, Victoria's Secret show with And how did that looks

Unknown Speaker (1:12:14): the What result we don't need to hear about the show itself.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:17): We're having another child.

Larry Pennington (1:12:18): I was going to say it probably ended really well.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:20): Excited to know that.

Mike O'Mara (1:12:21): I love that. So, back to Amazon and got the right length. And, you know, I think I'll I'll occasionally wear. If I'm feeling frisky, I'll probably wear the shorter ones, but they're you know, they go about halfway down the thigh. That's that's what I want.

Mike O'Mara (1:12:35): I don't want the short length pants.

Larry Pennington (1:12:38): Variety? What's the the the the style that you wear? The the sub the sub. Brief. Yeah.

Larry Pennington (1:12:43): But the the the line is called what? A getaway. Ah, I see.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:47): I wanna getaway. Yeah. Oh, the or this is the, who did this route?

Unknown Speaker (1:12:53): Earth, wind, and fire.

Mike O'Mara (1:12:54): Earth, wind, and fire. Getaway. Power one zero five. WABA. You wanna get away, everybody?

Unknown Speaker (1:13:01): Yeah. Sure you do. Of course, you you wanna get away. Put on these boxer briefs. It's gonna be a fantastic time.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:07): I hope I'm not stepping on this. There we go.

Larry Pennington (1:13:11): By the way, the earth, wind, and fire documentary that's on, HBO Max, there, Maurice White was a nut. Was he really? Yeah. And not all that easy to work with. Lot of great music, but the documentary left me feeling unfulfilled because I love the band really bad.

Larry Pennington (1:13:28): Mhmm. And it was not a happy band to be in for a long time.

Mike O'Mara (1:13:31): Really? And, you had, you had, Philip Bailey.

Larry Pennington (1:13:35): Yep. And, I think one of I think a couple of Maurice White's brothers were

Unknown Speaker (1:13:40): in it.

Larry Pennington (1:13:41): And I it was just it was a very odd sort of evolution of fire.

Mike O'Mara (1:13:48): You had Maurice White. Uh-huh. You had Philip Bailey. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:52): Mike Love. Yep. He's a dick, by the

Unknown Speaker (1:13:54): way. Carl Wilson.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:56): Yep.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:56): Mhmm.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:56): And that's it. That's earth

Unknown Speaker (1:13:58): wind and fire. For a while, and then they got rid of it.

Unknown Speaker (1:14:00): The drummer. Yeah. They couldn't do anything without the

Larry Pennington (1:14:02): But I mean, it's worth a look if you wanna feel less about earth wind and fire.

Mike O'Mara (1:14:06): But I never got to the gist of why I brought

Unknown Speaker (1:14:08): this Right. Yeah.

Mike O'Mara (1:14:10): I wrote this down. Is there anything you buy compulsively that you don't need? Now that I am on the TIMU and Carla's on the Sheen, I don't know what she buys, but I can tell you what I buy on the TIMU somewhat compulsively. I buy sunglasses. I buy sunglasses all the time because they're $11.

Larry Pennington (1:14:32): And regular glasses too for a while. Are you still buying regular glasses? Yeah. I hope these are, like, Elton John sunglasses.

Mike O'Mara (1:14:39): Very difficult, very difficult name to print. I think it's Suppley. Suppley, s u p k l e y. Tell me what you think of these.

Unknown Speaker (1:14:50): I love them. They're great. Hey, man. Let's see them in a three quarter profile because I wanna see the arm. Okay.

Larry Pennington (1:14:56): They're wider arm. I have ones with a similar lens, but the arms are nothing like that. I love those. They're good.

Unknown Speaker (1:15:02): Are they polarized? Isn't she isn't she lovely made

Larry Pennington (1:15:09): from love? I do. There's one thing I buy a lot anytime I see it, and I've returned them, but normally, I just tuck them away. Anytime I see a microphone that appeals to me that's under $20, I'll buy it. You'll buy it?

Unknown Speaker (1:15:26): Yeah. How many do you have?

Larry Pennington (1:15:29): I've sold a couple microphones recently, but I think that from T Mobile, I've bought probably a dozen microphones.

Unknown Speaker (1:15:36): Josh, is there anything you buy compulsively?

Unknown Speaker (1:15:38): I don't think so.

Unknown Speaker (1:15:39): I don't know.

Unknown Speaker (1:15:41): Well, yeah. Some I mean, yeah. Sometimes there's too much candy, but that's a need.

Unknown Speaker (1:15:45): Mhmm. A need to that you must still.

Sarah Silverman (1:15:48): Through right. I'll go through. I will scroll eBay sometimes and find a new bobblehead or two. Mhmm.

Larry Pennington (1:15:54): How can you not buy this microphone for $18? Can you rip off them? I I can. Hold on one sec. Don't

Unknown Speaker (1:16:00): know. Works.

Larry Pennington (1:16:01): I had to Mike, don't ruin things by making me test it.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:04): I just wanna see how it sounds

Unknown Speaker (1:16:06): if it's I'll be back in a second. Hold on.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:07): Alright. Didn't know you had to, like, travel to another state. Yeah.

Sarah Silverman (1:16:11): I he should just leave an empty cord for his microphones maybe.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:14): And to and try them. I believe this is the microphone show.

Sarah Silverman (1:16:18): I believe this is the SM's 57 guts inside of that microphone if I remember. See if,

Mike O'Mara (1:16:24): now I'd have to press about 20 different buttons to do that because we're switching. I want a bigger board.

Sarah Silverman (1:16:28): But I Rob could definitely do a show showing off his different microphones.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:33): Mhmm. What's that attached to? Well, he can't tell us now because he's No.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:37): He's got a pole.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:38): Microphone stand.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:40): Okay.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:41): And I have to undo it because of the design of it does not allow for the cord to go in while it's on the stand.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:47): Wouldn't have asked if I knew it was gonna be a half hour for this.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:50): But I I am curious about what we were just hearing them through if the microphone's not plugged in.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:54): Oh, I I I plugged it into mic two. It's over on the other side of the room.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:59): I just really thought this would be unsafe. So, does have

Unknown Speaker (1:17:01): a mic too.

Unknown Speaker (1:17:02): I do. Yeah, but that's that's a short.

Unknown Speaker (1:17:04): Are you done on screwing it yet?

Sarah Silverman (1:17:06): Why wouldn't you plug? Fit now. Why wouldn't you plug the new microphone into mic two and leave your regular mic up?

Larry Pennington (1:17:13): Because all of the oh, hold on. Because all of the wire is run to that and held down with wire.

Unknown Speaker (1:17:21): That great.

Unknown Speaker (1:17:23): Well, it sounds like a $20 microphone, doesn't it? No. It is

Unknown Speaker (1:17:26): No. It it sounds like where's that karaoke machine? Yeah. Sounds like that.

Larry Pennington (1:17:31): But it looks great. It's a rip off of a 55 and what Josh was trying to tell you before is that it sure still makes the SM 55.

Mike O'Mara (1:17:38): This talk is in the other side, the back of it.

Unknown Speaker (1:17:41): It's not a directional mic.

Unknown Speaker (1:17:42): I got it. Okay. I understand.

Larry Pennington (1:17:44): But they they put, a 58 is the guts inside it. But this is neither a short nor a 58 nor a 55. Okay. All it has is an on off switch. But it's nice to look at, isn't it?

Sarah Silverman (1:17:55): It's a nice big preamp.

Mike O'Mara (1:17:57): Alright. Now I'm now, Rob, I'm gonna give you a heads up because I need music for the commercials because you have some video. I hate to make you do things at the very end of the show because I know you're doing, like, 20 different things. So you just tell me when you're ready, and I'll do a little commercial, and then we'll come back. And you can play your beautiful video, but I want you to get settled because I know you have a lot of things that are going on, and that kind of overwhelms you occasionally.

Larry Pennington (1:18:19): Yeah. It does, Mike. You know, I I have a very limited sense of, direction. Yeah. And, I panic a lot of times.

Unknown Speaker (1:18:26): Kinda like that microphone.

Unknown Speaker (1:18:27): Hey, Josh. Is it true

Mike O'Mara (1:18:28): that our exclusive Charlie's Choice coffee is still awesome?

Unknown Speaker (1:18:32): It had some yesterday.

Unknown Speaker (1:18:34): And, have you been down, to the roastery lately? The peacock or whatever it's called, the

Mike O'Mara (1:19:03): What playlist did you fucking write for me to do here?

Larry Pennington (1:19:06): Mike, if you explain to the script, it makes perfect sense. You ask Josh look. Read it. It says ask Josh if it's still available, wait for answer, and then you say that's ever do that

Unknown Speaker (1:19:16): to me. We already asked.

Mike O'Mara (1:19:17): Yeah. I did it on my own. I didn't need directions.

Unknown Speaker (1:19:21): Alright? I've done it before. I've gotten it right before. I would I don't like directing my I don't like to give you so much to do. This.

Larry Pennington (1:19:28): I don't like to give you so many things to do at the end of this show because I know it confuses you.

Mike O'Mara (1:19:32): Well, no. I mean, it's just when you write a play instead of a fucking commercial, it's really hard to do. Alright? So that's good news that they're still making it, Josh.

Unknown Speaker (1:19:42): Yeah. It might even be available on our website.

Mike O'Mara (1:19:45): Experience it. You gotta have coffee, so we wanna give you were you offended that I was saying I'm giving you lots of things to do? I was giving you lots lots of things to do.

Unknown Speaker (1:21:16): No. Because it's Now

Unknown Speaker (1:21:18): that would be too many things.

Mike O'Mara (1:21:20): Yes. It would. The last It's the worst Charlie's Choice commercial ever.

Unknown Speaker (1:21:25): I just You know

Unknown Speaker (1:21:25): what he says?

Unknown Speaker (1:21:26): There was

Unknown Speaker (1:21:26): one choice.

Unknown Speaker (1:21:27): There was one in April that was worse. Alright.

Unknown Speaker (1:21:30): Steaming Charlie because when Charlie says, duh, it's gotta be good. What do you have for us?

Unknown Speaker (1:21:36): Oh, I don't know, but it's gonna excel.

Unknown Speaker (1:21:37): You know that? Jerry time.

Larry Pennington (1:21:41): Mike, have you ever seen the kind of vacuum? I see they, a lot of times they use them for cars. They put it on like a shop vac where it has a cyclone attachment. So the dirt comes into the suction part. It goes into a plastic sort of cylinder and spins around to separate dirt from yeah.

Larry Pennington (1:21:59): Separates dirt from solids. Okay. Well, there's this lady on YouTube that does a science based series of podcasts. Oh, madame science. It's madame science, and she had a wasp's nest.

Larry Pennington (1:22:12): Now bees are good, but wasps and some people call them yellow jackets are no good because they're very, very mean. They will sting you, and they don't make honey. How does she get rid of them? Well, she didn't wanna kill them. She just wanted to, as she said, relocate them.

Larry Pennington (1:22:27): So what she did was suck them up in this vacuum, separate them from the dirt, and then put them in another gun and shot them far away. I'm not doing a great job of explaining it, but I think you will enjoy this.

Speaker 6 (1:22:40): A small sample of 30 yellow jackets, and we're gonna hit this guy. They're all still pretty dizzy. We're gonna attach them to our launch, and we're gonna go relocate these guys. It's time, boys.

Unknown Speaker (1:22:55): Woah.

Unknown Speaker (1:22:57): And thus, we began dispersing them. I kinda wish.

Larry Pennington (1:23:00): It's hooked to an air compressor, so every time you hear that sound, they're shooting a bee, like, $50.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:05): Individual, yellow jacket?

Unknown Speaker (1:23:07): An individual yellow jacket is being relocated across the yard.

Mike O'Mara (1:23:11): Seen them use the vacuums to get bees out of Sure. Yeah. Out of a nest, but I've never seen this in the you know, it's fun for each bee individually, you know, because they're narcissists.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:21): Don't you wanna shoot each other, though, with it? Have two points

Larry Pennington (1:23:24): your so bad if you had a bee I mean, I've heard of a BB gun, but a bee gun would

Unknown Speaker (1:23:27): be Don't you don't want me to get out the bee gun.

Larry Pennington (1:23:30): So, anyway, you can do that. I personally the best way to fire to fight a yellow jacket's nest is fire. If you pour gasoline into it, that'll kill them all. You know, when you hear music on TV, sometimes you just say, I guess that thing always existed. You don't think of a musical theme or background or incidental music actually being recorded.

Larry Pennington (1:23:54): This goes back to and let me get the year right. 1997 when they wanted to update the themed wheel of fortune, And someone brought a video camera into the studio, and this is being recorded in the control room. So it's not the proper mix that you hear on TV, but this is the actual orchestra recording the themed wheel of fortune. I think this is pretty cool.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:27): Big band.

Larry Pennington (1:24:41): All froze. Oh, they're they're big money. That that's a big money session right

Mike O'Mara (1:24:45): there. That is so, so cool. And, you know, in this day and age of AI generated everything, it's nice to see some guys playing horns.

Larry Pennington (1:24:52): Really is. And, I mean, it just you would never think that they actually had to sit down and do that.

Mike O'Mara (1:24:57): Tomorrow on the show, I would love to bring you for you Bluegrass fans, I would love to bring you a gentleman whose name is Michael Cleveland. You can check him out on your own, but he is, I believe, blind at birth, eighty percent hearing loss in one ear. And if there is a better fiddle player, bluegrass fiddle player, I have not seen this individual.

Unknown Speaker (1:25:27): Oh, I gotta

Mike O'Mara (1:25:28): see stunning. I'm I'm sorry. I'm tipping your hand already with that. Tomorrow, I'm gonna play a a clip of his music. Absolute.

Mike O'Mara (1:25:34): You know? And he really, really is, amazing, at what he does. And you can see him. He's the you know, he's got obviously some issues when you see the guy, but, boy, absolutely incredible. Michael Cleveland.

Larry Pennington (1:25:48): Don't they tell him that he's playing a banjo? That's a surprise. Let's close with this. Mike, Mick Jagger, as you know, the Rolling Stones have put

Mike O'Mara (1:25:58): encourage him. Don't encourage him, Josh.

Larry Pennington (1:26:01): The Rolling Stones put out a a recent album, and they're promoting it. And Mick Jagger was on with, the the Saturday or I'm sorry, the Sunday Today show and doing an interview with Willie Geist, I believe. And this is fascinating because he reveals his favorite Rolling Stone songs, but the best thing is the tight close-up of Mick Jagger to see the crevices in his face. I mean, they're you know those yellow jackets? They might be living in Mick Jagger's face.

Unknown Speaker (1:26:29): Have a favorite Rolling Stones album.

Unknown Speaker (1:26:32): I mean, I I

Unknown Speaker (1:26:35): mean, I

Unknown Speaker (1:26:35): think Sticky Fingers is really good. I think Banger's Banquet is really good. I think Hackney Diamonds is pretty good

Unknown Speaker (1:26:43): too.

Unknown Speaker (1:26:43): That's the new

Unknown Speaker (1:26:43): one. Some Rolling Stones albums that have eight tracks. I mean, you only had eight tracks. Mean, you know, you had eight tracks and you were, like, 30 years old.

Unknown Speaker (1:26:51): Come on. What are you doing?

Unknown Speaker (1:26:53): How about a song? If there's one song that you can look back and

Unknown Speaker (1:26:56): say song.

Unknown Speaker (1:26:56): There's, like, hundreds of songs. I understand. But if there's one you say, that is us at our best. I mean, there's so

Speaker 7 (1:27:04): many different styles. I mean, you you're you're running the gamut of Symphony of the Devil.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:10): Nice to meet you. Talk against my neck.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:14): You know, start me up.

Larry Pennington (1:27:21): It's amazing to see all those clips and realize that's one band Look. I know you make all those years.

Mike O'Mara (1:27:30): I know you make fun of the craggy. Yeah. Look at the guy.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:33): Oh my god. I know.

Mike O'Mara (1:27:34): I mean, really? What? What are we talking about mid eighties now?

Unknown Speaker (1:27:38): Are we talking

Unknown Speaker (1:27:39): '84 if I was forced to guess?

Larry Pennington (1:27:41): '4 and looking like that? And still occasionally touring and doing live shows and getting it done. I'm a fan.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:48): But, anyway Unbelievable.

Larry Pennington (1:27:49): I I I the only thing that surprised me is I didn't think Angie would be so far up, but Symphony for the Devil, we are lockstep on that.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:55): Boy. Oh, boy. It's like a time capsule too.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:57): It really is.
