R.I.P. Pete Kastanes! (Hoppe Hour With Ryan Hoppe: 4.27.26)

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.060
Poppy Hour starts live in less than 10 minutes.

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:14.640
Stand by. Here's Mike Vrabel! Saying he failed

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.280
his own standards. Dude, it's not like you just

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.820
started banging or you've been hanging out six

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:27.480
years. Shut your ass! What a horrible microphone.

00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:39.539
Terrible person. You're just maddy I can't. Now

00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:52.119
you know. You don't care about him. If you did,

00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:55.640
you would have told her before, you moron. Shut

00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:01.240
your ass. the organization and our fans alright

00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.859
there you go I'm dead can you imagine being I

00:01:05.859 --> 00:01:08.579
keep thinking it's Diana Taurasi I don't know

00:01:08.579 --> 00:01:14.760
why a Boston radio host was fired for talking

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.079
about Mike Vrabel I don't like that yeah the

00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:24.159
Patriot fans are whipped Mike Vrabel is looking

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.340
to get into counseling and get help And then

00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:32.180
he calls the draft. The Patriots had the draft

00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:34.040
pick last night and he called him and said, welcome

00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.620
to the team. And Dave Portnoy criticizes Mike

00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:40.519
Vrabel. Good. Finally, somebody from the universe

00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.359
of Patriots fandom did. All right. Then we got

00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:51.209
this headline right here. Happy Hot Topic. Just

00:01:51.209 --> 00:01:54.370
hours before the NFL draft kicked off, new bombshell

00:01:54.370 --> 00:01:56.930
photos emerging. One showing Patriots head coach

00:01:56.930 --> 00:01:59.450
Mike Vrabel and former athletic NFL reporter

00:01:59.450 --> 00:02:03.469
Diana Rossini. Oh, yeah. Allegedly kissing at

00:02:03.469 --> 00:02:06.090
a New York bar in 2020. Oh, yeah. So this was

00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:08.710
just, you know, him with his standards. Shut

00:02:08.710 --> 00:02:10.889
up. You've been doing it forever. According to

00:02:10.889 --> 00:02:13.870
the New York Post, another published by TMZ Sports

00:02:13.870 --> 00:02:16.150
is said to show the pair at a Mississippi casino

00:02:16.150 --> 00:02:20.110
in early 2024. My priorities are... My family

00:02:20.110 --> 00:02:21.870
and this football team. Oh, yeah, I don't think

00:02:21.870 --> 00:02:24.370
your wife wants anything to do with you, unless

00:02:24.370 --> 00:02:26.650
she has no credibility in stage with you. And

00:02:26.650 --> 00:02:29.069
in that order. Vrabel announcing on Thursday

00:02:29.069 --> 00:02:31.889
he's focusing on his family and seeking counseling,

00:02:32.030 --> 00:02:37.530
according to ESPN. This is all PR. I understand

00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:41.349
that there are questions, but I take accountability

00:02:41.349 --> 00:02:44.870
for my actions. If you took accountability, you

00:02:44.870 --> 00:02:48.409
would have taught us sooner. You know, he'd be

00:02:48.409 --> 00:02:50.310
freaking out when those pictures got released

00:02:50.310 --> 00:02:54.349
of them on the rooftop. And I lost a lot of respect

00:02:54.349 --> 00:02:56.210
for him. I thought he was cool. Actions that

00:02:56.210 --> 00:02:59.090
caused a distraction to the people that I care

00:02:59.090 --> 00:03:01.409
most about. You don't care about him. He's just

00:03:01.409 --> 00:03:07.830
a maniac. Just weeks earlier, Vrabel saying photos

00:03:07.830 --> 00:03:10.189
published by the Post showed an innocent interaction

00:03:10.189 --> 00:03:13.469
and any suggestion otherwise was, quote, laughable.

00:03:14.169 --> 00:03:16.430
Oh yeah, I remember that. Now the embattled head

00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:19.469
coach pulling a complete 180. Remember when they

00:03:19.469 --> 00:03:21.330
said they were on a girls trip and he was just

00:03:21.330 --> 00:03:23.550
visiting and then they asked for any proof of

00:03:23.550 --> 00:03:29.250
group text messages? My previous actions don't

00:03:29.250 --> 00:03:32.349
meet the standard that I hold myself to. You

00:03:32.349 --> 00:03:33.669
don't hold yourself to anything. You're just

00:03:33.669 --> 00:03:37.210
like everyone else in the NFL. You're a dog.

00:03:39.009 --> 00:03:42.580
They don't. Yeah, they do. Shut up. We're not

00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:46.379
stupid, dude. Your wife might be for staying

00:03:46.379 --> 00:03:51.639
with you. Speaking of a moron right here. Did

00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:58.180
you love him? Back then, I did, but obviously.

00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:01.340
Here's the side check. That was Ben Sharon Moore,

00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.439
the coach of Michigan. Taking no accountability.

00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:07.039
Just like every other side check, trying to get

00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.620
famous from it. Because you're a victim. Shut

00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:12.419
up. Women want equal rights. They want to be

00:04:12.419 --> 00:04:14.340
taken seriously, but then when they get caught

00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:15.819
sleeping around, that's when they're like, I

00:04:15.819 --> 00:04:17.920
don't want to be taken seriously with that. And

00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.420
really reflecting on what happened, what was

00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:26.259
happening. That's, yeah, that's not love at all.

00:04:26.379 --> 00:04:29.620
What a hot piece of ass sociopathic liar. Paige

00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:33.759
Shiver, now 32, says she was... She's 32? I mean,

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.620
she looks good. I thought she was younger. So

00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:38.620
yeah, at least if you're in your early 20s and

00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:40.240
you were in high school during COVID, you're

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.500
all mentally messed up. But you're a grown -ass

00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:45.800
woman. Shut up. You're eight years away from

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.019
40. If you live to 64, you're middle -aged, honey.

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.439
It's an intern in 2022 when she and Cherone Moore,

00:04:52.620 --> 00:04:55.259
then an offensive coordinator and a married father,

00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:57.920
started a consensual, intimate relationship.

00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:00.399
She was asked to be Moore's executive assistant

00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.389
when he was... Oh yeah, but she was... to head

00:05:03.389 --> 00:05:06.730
coach in 2024. Did you feel pressured to have

00:05:06.730 --> 00:05:09.649
the relationship in order to have job security?

00:05:10.670 --> 00:05:13.709
Yes. Okay, well, maybe don't work at that job

00:05:13.709 --> 00:05:18.329
then. Shut up! You love the other parts. You

00:05:18.329 --> 00:05:22.250
love being a snob, honey. Yes, I did. Shut up.

00:05:22.509 --> 00:05:26.930
I mean, he and other coaches had control over

00:05:26.930 --> 00:05:29.529
my career. Well, maybe you go work somewhere

00:05:29.529 --> 00:05:31.129
else where you don't have to, you know, bang

00:05:31.129 --> 00:05:33.910
around. Especially him. I mean, he could fire

00:05:33.910 --> 00:05:36.430
me in a second. Shiver. I would too. You seem

00:05:36.430 --> 00:05:38.930
annoying. Shiver says her attempts to end the

00:05:38.930 --> 00:05:41.230
on -again, off -again relationship were often

00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:43.569
met with what she calls manipulation tactics.

00:05:44.110 --> 00:05:46.629
Well, yeah, go to HR and, yeah, you're going

00:05:46.629 --> 00:05:48.370
to be in trouble, but at least you get ahead

00:05:48.370 --> 00:05:52.310
of it. Mm -hmm. After giving in. You know what

00:05:52.310 --> 00:05:55.129
I mean? including threats of self -harm. Every

00:05:55.129 --> 00:05:58.730
time I tried to pull away, he always had a story,

00:05:59.029 --> 00:06:02.009
always had a way to pull me in. So then you're

00:06:02.009 --> 00:06:04.230
just, you know, I'm not saying you're a dumb

00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:06.990
blonde, but you're not making blondes look good.

00:06:07.189 --> 00:06:12.339
And making me feel that I... Couldn't leave him

00:06:12.339 --> 00:06:16.240
because he was so miserable without me. He was

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.759
miserable with you too, honey. During their years

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.379
-long relationship, Shiver learned she was pregnant

00:06:21.379 --> 00:06:25.399
by Moore. Oh, yeah. Oh, he doesn't pull out.

00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.519
Pregnancy was complicated by pompa disease, a

00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.300
genetic disorder that... Can you imagine that,

00:06:32.339 --> 00:06:34.459
kid? You're born to a side chick in a stupid

00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:37.560
football couch. ...muscle strength. Her doctors

00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.439
delivered the heartbreaking news. You know, he

00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.319
was running down the street all happy. Well,

00:06:43.339 --> 00:06:50.680
doctors and experts told me that it wouldn't

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:57.319
be right or healthy for me to keep the baby.

00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:05.879
I would have been a great. relationship and family

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:11.540
dynamic there. Why are you not wearing a condom?

00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:16.120
Having a vasectomy or pulling out, bro? I'm not

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.100
listening to any more of your tears. It's fake!

00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:21.620
Like it's real tears. But you take no accountability.

00:07:28.329 --> 00:07:31.250
We all know that I can be a jackass on a show

00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:35.389
and a very outspoken, but I dedicate this show

00:07:35.389 --> 00:07:39.790
to Pete Kostanis of the Vanished Chicago Lampage.

00:07:39.790 --> 00:07:43.509
We will get into it in a second, but Pete, I

00:07:43.509 --> 00:07:46.209
absolutely love you. You are an amazing man,

00:07:46.290 --> 00:07:50.490
and rest in peace. Attention, FM DJs, your morning

00:07:50.490 --> 00:07:55.149
show prep begins now. A sick person with a powerful

00:07:55.149 --> 00:08:12.110
tool. Welcome to Hoppy Hour. Doors closing. Hi,

00:08:12.209 --> 00:08:14.670
this is Ryan Hoppy's mom and you're listening

00:08:14.670 --> 00:08:17.629
to Hoppy Hour. Welcome back to Hoppy Hour with

00:08:17.629 --> 00:08:26.120
Ryan Hoppy. Yes, now. What? Now, now, now, now.

00:08:26.220 --> 00:08:28.439
If I hit this button, boom, the whole program's

00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:47.179
gonna start. Okay, well, hit it. All right. The

00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:50.620
semen was so big. And now, something completely

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:56.580
different. Hoppy Hour. Starts in 4, 3, 2, Hoppy,

00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:02.100
Hoppy, Hoppy. This is Hoppy Hour with Hoppy.

00:09:37.499 --> 00:09:45.019
Oh, my mic was off. What a beautiful way to begin

00:09:45.019 --> 00:09:49.759
the show. But let's get ready to music right

00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:56.309
now. So we'll get into the Minneapolis slash

00:09:56.309 --> 00:10:03.230
Chicago trip I went on. But I had a friend, and

00:10:03.230 --> 00:10:06.289
he was everybody's friend in Chicago. I had a

00:10:06.289 --> 00:10:10.409
friend named Pete Kostanis. And Pete was a fascinating

00:10:10.409 --> 00:10:14.850
guy. He ran the brand, which had Twitter pages,

00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:19.330
Instagram pages, Facebook pages, called Vanished

00:10:19.330 --> 00:10:23.200
Chicagoland. where he would talk about, oh, you

00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.259
remember this grocery store on, I don't know,

00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.039
I can't think of a road right now, on Cumberland.

00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:30.879
And then people would comment, oh, I used to

00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.200
get an Italian beef there. Remember this toy

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.840
store? Yeah, I got my first teddy bear there.

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.799
And he started creating it when Facebook really

00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.019
began to pop about 12 years ago. And I believe

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:42.799
there was another name that was attached to it

00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.200
before it was Vanished Chicagoland. And to be

00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.360
honest. Pete had that it factor. So he would

00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.419
run his Facebook group where he would post about

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:57.080
memories and he did a podcast with 500 episodes.

00:10:57.139 --> 00:10:59.279
I believe he really began doing it during COVID,

00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.379
especially in Chicago where they were really

00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:05.620
locked down. And he would have a signature selfie

00:11:05.620 --> 00:11:08.100
where he kind of had a mysterious look about

00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:10.600
him. And that's because he was a mysterious guy.

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.820
And that was a good thing was he was very classy.

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.960
He was very private, but he also would do anything

00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:23.100
for his friends. So I first found the page because

00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:26.120
probably my algorithm working in radio, I would

00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.320
see like, let's say it's the 42nd anniversary

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.200
of disco demolition with Steve Dahl and his page

00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.980
would post it. And then everybody would go, I

00:11:33.980 --> 00:11:35.820
was there, blah, blah, blah. Remember the 79

00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:38.919
or the, I think it was 97 cents to get in and

00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:40.970
blah, blah, blah. So then I followed the page

00:11:40.970 --> 00:11:43.809
and you begin to kind of see the selfies. And

00:11:43.809 --> 00:11:46.169
there's a certain way you have to promote yourself

00:11:46.169 --> 00:11:49.490
when you're on a brand. Like I'll take selfies

00:11:49.490 --> 00:11:52.289
and I might get 10 likes. Pete takes selfies

00:11:52.289 --> 00:11:54.950
and he gets a thousand likes. He just had that

00:11:54.950 --> 00:11:58.590
it factor. He just had that classiness to him.

00:11:58.710 --> 00:12:02.289
He represented old Chicago. Not saying Chicago

00:12:02.289 --> 00:12:04.409
doesn't have love now, but he represented that

00:12:04.409 --> 00:12:08.090
brotherhood, that. Like, my mom's friends knew

00:12:08.090 --> 00:12:10.570
who he was. Everybody at the WGN News knew who

00:12:10.570 --> 00:12:15.230
he was. And he passed away from cancer Sunday,

00:12:15.490 --> 00:12:23.610
April 26. And he made a post Wednesday or Thursday

00:12:23.610 --> 00:12:26.159
last week. saying that he didn't have much time

00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.519
left and he was going into hospice. And I was

00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.679
flying to Minneapolis after being in Chicago.

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.519
And I just started crying on the plane because

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.500
I wasn't on a Delta plane. I was on a Sun Country

00:12:36.500 --> 00:12:38.500
plane where they don't really have Wi -Fi. So

00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:42.320
it was just me and my thoughts. And it just absolutely

00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.059
crushed me. I texted him, I don't know, probably

00:12:46.059 --> 00:12:50.000
nine days ago. Cause now it's Monday, April 27th

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.840
and Monday or Saturday, April 18th. I flew to

00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.519
Chicago and I knew he was in a hospital and I

00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.759
texted him and I said, Hey Pete, do you want

00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.960
any company? I would love to see you. And then

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.460
he was like, Oh, well I'm in the hospital right

00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:06.899
now. Um, I should be getting out soon. And then

00:13:06.899 --> 00:13:09.240
I said, sounds good. I said, when you get out,

00:13:09.340 --> 00:13:12.019
let me know and I'll buy you lunch. Cause he

00:13:12.019 --> 00:13:15.320
just bought me lunch. And then seeing how quickly

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.500
the cancer spread in the last five days absolutely

00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:21.899
crushed me because he had so many plans. He was

00:13:21.899 --> 00:13:24.840
62 years old. I know he was making a good living

00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.639
off of a van in Chicagoland. He had his own house.

00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.200
He had a lovely mom who seemed like the nicest

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:33.399
person. And if she's listening, I'm so sorry.

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:39.940
Your son is just one of a kind. And I'm a jackass

00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:42.539
on this show. I speak my mind and say it like

00:13:42.539 --> 00:13:47.200
it is. But I'm telling you, I absolutely adored

00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.779
Pete. Pete was that guy. We went out to lunch.

00:13:52.419 --> 00:13:54.419
I forget the name of the place. I couldn't even

00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:56.139
remember what I ate. I think it was a burger.

00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.279
Went to this place in Lombard or something. Man,

00:13:59.299 --> 00:14:03.940
I wish I could remember. And he had so many plans.

00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:05.399
He was talking about he was going to go visit.

00:14:05.950 --> 00:14:07.750
I guess some family in Greece because he was

00:14:07.750 --> 00:14:10.169
Greek and he wanted to go to Greece and he was

00:14:10.169 --> 00:14:12.129
going to get his visa and he was going to travel

00:14:12.129 --> 00:14:14.529
the world. And he said, once I get rid of that

00:14:14.529 --> 00:14:16.710
darn cancer, like he was such a clean cut guy

00:14:16.710 --> 00:14:18.629
that he didn't say, like in my Facebook post,

00:14:18.649 --> 00:14:20.210
I said, fuck cancer because it's ridiculous.

00:14:20.669 --> 00:14:25.610
But he was just such a sweet guy. And I think

00:14:25.610 --> 00:14:28.649
what I adored most about Pete was that I had

00:14:28.649 --> 00:14:31.289
just met him. And sometimes like when you meet

00:14:31.289 --> 00:14:36.289
people, you're a fan of you. Don't want to meet

00:14:36.289 --> 00:14:39.070
your heroes. Pete was one of my heroes because,

00:14:39.250 --> 00:14:42.470
man, if I was facing cancer and I was not sure

00:14:42.470 --> 00:14:44.470
if I'm going to be able to travel the world,

00:14:44.590 --> 00:14:47.289
I would be furious at the world. I would not

00:14:47.289 --> 00:14:50.289
want anything to do with the world. But all he

00:14:50.289 --> 00:14:53.549
did was spread love. He spread awareness of Chicago's

00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:55.549
past. And I'm trying not to cry right now. I

00:14:55.549 --> 00:14:59.789
am just absolutely torn. Pete was that guy, man.

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.960
I don't know what else I can say. I made my Facebook

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.179
post last night. I'll get to some of the comments

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:09.480
right now. Pete just, I'm not a religious person.

00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:11.799
I know a lot of people on the post are saying

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:19.600
he's up in heaven. And I just adored Pete. Brent

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.019
Putin, who just graduated from the Illinois Center

00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:25.759
for Radio or whatever it's called now. And he

00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.139
said, there are truly no words. Pete will never

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:29.779
be forgotten. Let me see the other comments.

00:15:30.330 --> 00:15:32.529
I didn't know Pete personally like so many others,

00:15:32.590 --> 00:15:34.750
but I am heartbroken like so many others that

00:15:34.750 --> 00:15:37.629
he has left us now here. He seemed to be an amazing

00:15:37.629 --> 00:15:40.730
person. A lot of the comments about I didn't

00:15:40.730 --> 00:15:43.049
know Pete personally, I thought this was a good

00:15:43.049 --> 00:15:44.990
comment. I'm not saying the other comments aren't.

00:15:45.269 --> 00:15:48.450
But I know Pete 40 years ago at DeVry University.

00:15:48.710 --> 00:15:51.309
Quiet, but had a great sense of humor, and he

00:15:51.309 --> 00:15:54.590
would have the class in absolute stitches. Two

00:15:54.590 --> 00:15:57.409
to three times a trimester. Just one of the funniest

00:15:57.409 --> 00:16:00.029
and sweetest guys you'll ever meet. I liked something

00:16:00.029 --> 00:16:02.970
on his site 10 years ago, and he sent me a message

00:16:02.970 --> 00:16:05.149
thanking me for the like, and if I remembered

00:16:05.149 --> 00:16:07.690
him. Like, how am I going to forget you? He was

00:16:07.690 --> 00:16:10.029
a nice guy, and my condolences to his family,

00:16:10.049 --> 00:16:13.549
his friends, and his fans. Ryan, what a great

00:16:13.549 --> 00:16:15.889
tribute to a great guy. He will surely be missed.

00:16:16.070 --> 00:16:18.370
He created something beautiful and wonderful,

00:16:18.470 --> 00:16:21.929
and I will never forget him. And a lot of the

00:16:21.929 --> 00:16:26.090
same comments. And I'm not a religious guy. I

00:16:26.090 --> 00:16:27.250
don't believe in God. I'm not going to go down

00:16:27.250 --> 00:16:28.690
that route because I don't want to hurt people

00:16:28.690 --> 00:16:31.029
that do believe in God. But it just absolutely

00:16:31.029 --> 00:16:35.350
crushes me that you have this amazing man who

00:16:35.350 --> 00:16:38.289
deserved nothing but the best in life. Like Pete

00:16:38.289 --> 00:16:41.230
was that guy. Because you know on this show I

00:16:41.230 --> 00:16:43.769
usually just trash celebrities. So this is out

00:16:43.769 --> 00:16:46.029
of my comfort zone to be nice. But I'm telling

00:16:46.029 --> 00:16:50.429
you, Pete was that guy. Only met him once. Texted

00:16:50.429 --> 00:16:54.000
a lot. On the podcast feed, I'll post the interview

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:57.580
we had probably March last year. And you got

00:16:57.580 --> 00:16:59.860
to think, he's got hundreds of thousands of fans.

00:17:00.139 --> 00:17:03.700
He's gone on WGN News. He's been on Madhouse

00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:06.980
Morning Madhouse 10 years ago. The few words

00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:12.279
he got to get in on air. He had all this stardom

00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.299
in Chicago. Marcus Leshock was his friend, who's

00:17:15.299 --> 00:17:18.829
Marcus is awesome. But I'm just saying. I'm not

00:17:18.829 --> 00:17:21.029
a little show, but he took time out of his day.

00:17:21.089 --> 00:17:25.029
I'm not paying him. I'm not on in Chicago. So

00:17:25.029 --> 00:17:27.430
I just want to thank you, Pete, man. You made

00:17:27.430 --> 00:17:30.950
me a better person. You made me realize what

00:17:30.950 --> 00:17:35.130
a true man is. And you made me realize that not

00:17:35.130 --> 00:17:37.750
only do I need to improve as a person to be as

00:17:37.750 --> 00:17:39.710
awesome as you, but that you're never going to

00:17:39.710 --> 00:17:42.569
be forgotten. You're never going to be vanished,

00:17:42.609 --> 00:17:47.130
dude. You're a fucking legend. You're the man.

00:17:48.060 --> 00:17:50.359
There's never ever going to be somebody. I'm

00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:51.299
not saying there's never going to be somebody

00:17:51.299 --> 00:17:54.140
as nice as him, but he had such a kind soul.

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:56.900
He's the type of guy, if you got a flat tire,

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.019
he'd be there to help you. He was that dude.

00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:01.859
Just such an amazing guy, which is why it hurts

00:18:01.859 --> 00:18:05.220
me so much is because I'm not saying if he was

00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:07.839
older, it'd be any better, but he was 62 and

00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.140
he was going to get his visa and travel the world.

00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:16.359
If I may quote the 1996 song, man, funk dead.

00:18:18.340 --> 00:18:21.440
So on this website called Suna, you can make

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.900
AI songs. I have not heard this song, but here

00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:29.319
is a song that's dedicated to Pete. Right here.

00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:31.200
Oh, I do this thing I do once a show where I

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.759
don't have the music potted up. Here is the song

00:18:33.759 --> 00:19:02.750
for you, Pete. Side by side, make it strange

00:19:02.750 --> 00:21:55.799
to me Sorry I mispronounced his last name, but

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:59.920
I thought A .I. was so smart. Still made a good

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:02.160
song. All right, we're going to do a quick reset.

00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:09.519
Because I don't want to just go from talking

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:12.680
about Pete to talking about NBA side chicks.

00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.039
So what we're going to do is we're going to reset

00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:18.579
the party because Pete would want us to live

00:22:18.579 --> 00:22:22.519
life. But I had to begin the show on a serious

00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.250
note. Oh, did I ever? So in honor of Pete, let's

00:22:27.250 --> 00:23:29.140
party. Time for the beat drop. Oh, sure. I got

00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:49.420
it. 8 -5 -6. 49 Hoppy. 8 -5 -6. 4 -9 -4 -6 -7

00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:53.460
-7 -3. You can tweet at me at RyanHoppyRadio.

00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:03.759
Trying to figure out how to go from talking about

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.099
a classy man like Pete to ranting about side

00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:21.819
chicks, but we can do it. Love you, Pete. Got

00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:38.700
it. Oh, yeah. You know, we can't start off this

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:41.319
Monday show. If you're listening for the first

00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:47.640
time. Every Monday, we discuss having a case

00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:53.039
of the Mondays. Hey, guys. What's up, G? Want

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:55.420
to go to Tchotchkes? Get some coffee? No, it's

00:24:55.420 --> 00:24:57.759
a little early. I got to get out of here. I think

00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.880
I'm going to lose it. Uh -oh. Sounds like somebody's

00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.380
got a case of the Mundus. One more time. Somebody's

00:25:03.380 --> 00:25:05.680
got a case of the Mundus. One more time. Sounds

00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:08.079
like somebody's got a case of the Mundus. And

00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:10.619
finally. Sounds like somebody's got a case of

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:14.880
the Mundus. Let me ask you something. When you

00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:16.660
come in on Monday and you're not feeling real

00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:18.700
well, does anyone ever say to you, sounds like

00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:25.309
someone has a case of the Mondays? No. No, man.

00:25:27.009 --> 00:25:29.750
Shit, no, man. I believe you get your ass kicked

00:25:29.750 --> 00:25:41.069
saying something like that, man. All right, what

00:25:41.069 --> 00:25:48.430
do I got from here? Mm -hmm. All right. Sup?

00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:56.339
I was in Minneapolis to see a radio person I

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:59.559
know. Then I also got to meet the 93X Half -Assed

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.099
Morning Show. And, man, when you get to meet

00:26:02.099 --> 00:26:03.759
your heroes and they're actually nice to you,

00:26:03.819 --> 00:26:09.799
it's pretty cool. I like you, Opie. I love Opie,

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:12.680
but I don't know if he likes me. So I did that,

00:26:12.779 --> 00:26:18.819
and there's this girl named Allie, and she's

00:26:18.819 --> 00:26:24.759
the absolute best. And you'll be seeing more

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.200
of her. We're trying to figure out the long distance

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.259
thing because she lives in Minneapolis and I'm

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:35.759
in St. Pete. But it's pretty cool. I don't know,

00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:39.079
man. I don't know what to say. Like, it's not

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:41.319
that I don't know what to say about her. I just

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.559
the last few times I've had girls that were either

00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:49.359
girlfriends or situationships. All they wanted

00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:55.569
was the attention. Mm -hmm. Allie doesn't mind

00:26:55.569 --> 00:27:00.650
me talking about her, but you know that saying,

00:27:00.750 --> 00:27:05.309
what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? What happens

00:27:05.309 --> 00:27:10.589
in Minneapolis stays in Minneapolis. Mm -hmm.

00:27:13.230 --> 00:27:17.329
By the way, you know when somebody says like,

00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:20.619
oh, people from Philadelphia are jackasses, and

00:27:20.619 --> 00:27:22.420
then people from Philadelphia are like, no, we're

00:27:22.420 --> 00:27:24.440
not, and then they're jackasses. You know what

00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.160
people say? People from Chicago are loud, and

00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:29.920
then people are actually loud. People from Minneapolis

00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:34.420
are actually nice. They're actually friendly.

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:40.400
So all I'm going to say is you're going to see

00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.859
more, Allie. You're going to hear more about

00:27:42.859 --> 00:27:45.140
Allie. If you want to see our picture, when we

00:27:45.140 --> 00:27:49.099
were drunk at a... Minnesota Wild Hockey Playoff

00:27:49.099 --> 00:27:52.279
Party in St. Paul. I believe it was either truck

00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:54.480
or trunk yard. Let me look it up. It was this

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:59.400
bar. I have a funny story. So one of her friends

00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.519
who's super cool named Ollie, he had kind of

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.480
a Minnesota accent, but I have a Chicago accent,

00:28:04.619 --> 00:28:09.779
so it's not a bad thing. But he told me, he was

00:28:09.779 --> 00:28:13.299
like, it's the 7th Street Truck Park is what

00:28:13.299 --> 00:28:15.140
it is. There you go. I want to make sure I said

00:28:15.140 --> 00:28:19.470
the name of the bar right. And her friend likes

00:28:19.470 --> 00:28:22.410
to call when you get a 40 -ounce Bud Light, which

00:28:22.410 --> 00:28:25.789
is like three beers in a bottle. I was like,

00:28:25.829 --> 00:28:28.009
dude, where do I get one of those? Even though

00:28:28.009 --> 00:28:30.490
I already have like two vodka seltzers, three

00:28:30.490 --> 00:28:34.650
yinglings, some bapum, some bush apples. I was

00:28:34.650 --> 00:28:38.210
a little drunk a little bit. But I had to make

00:28:38.210 --> 00:28:41.750
sure that Kayla and that's her friend Kayla and

00:28:41.750 --> 00:28:44.049
Allie were good. I mean, they can hold their

00:28:44.049 --> 00:28:46.839
liquor, but. I wanted to have that energy where

00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:48.980
it's like, I got to take care of you guys, especially

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:51.220
when we got the Uber and my phone was on 10%.

00:28:51.220 --> 00:28:55.380
By the way, Topper's Pizza out there, phenomenal.

00:28:55.660 --> 00:28:59.359
I only had one slice, but it was very good. But

00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:01.700
what am I getting at? One of their friends' name

00:29:01.700 --> 00:29:03.759
is Ali, and I was vibing with the guy. He's super

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:05.980
cool. When I'm back out there, I got to hang

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:09.960
out with him. And he calls a 40 -ounce Bud Light

00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:14.099
a 40. I don't know if it's just him that does

00:29:14.099 --> 00:29:19.640
it, but I go up to the bartender. I thought that's

00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:22.160
how you said it. And I go, can I have a fody?

00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:25.599
And the lady's like, what? Can I have a fody?

00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:27.500
And she goes, what are you saying? And I was

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:29.359
like, can I have a Bud Light 40 ounce? She's

00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:33.680
like, oh, okay. I guess I said it wrong. But

00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.619
my goodness, I had two of those fodies. Oh, my

00:29:37.619 --> 00:29:42.720
God. It was great. Also, I want to talk about

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.819
boomers at the airport. I don't know what it

00:29:45.819 --> 00:29:48.519
is about the airport where boomers absolutely

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:53.799
lose their mind. Oh, they do. I was in line.

00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:58.920
And first of all, as I will probably be flying

00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:03.339
a little more, I've learned to get seats. You

00:30:03.339 --> 00:30:05.039
got to get seats ahead of time and closer to

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:07.819
the front. Because Delta Airlines has this thing

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:09.859
where they go, oh, we're out. of room with the

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:13.440
luggage. We got to check the bags, which I hate

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:16.980
doing. And of course, when I'm in section 30,

00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:20.660
group seven, all of a sudden, or seat 30, group

00:30:20.660 --> 00:30:22.640
seven, all of a sudden there's room for the freaking

00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.460
bags. I'm like, what are you talking about? But

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:29.319
there was an old man and he was confused by the

00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:31.420
seating chart because why wouldn't he be? And

00:30:31.420 --> 00:30:35.480
there was a, there was like an Asian couple and

00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:39.720
let's say it's 29 D and E. And he goes, yo, yo,

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:41.579
he's like impersonating him. He's like, yo, in

00:30:41.579 --> 00:30:43.299
my seat. I'm like, what are you talking about?

00:30:43.460 --> 00:30:47.299
He's like, I'm in 28D. You are in my seat. And

00:30:47.299 --> 00:30:48.859
then they looked at him and they go, sir, that's

00:30:48.859 --> 00:30:51.220
28D right there. And he's like, oh. And I was

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:54.059
like, you're the reason people don't like boomers.

00:30:54.980 --> 00:30:59.359
Not only are you racist, you're stupid. And then

00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:01.319
boomers have this thing where, I don't know if

00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:03.500
it's because they're like facing death and they

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:05.359
don't want to like, and this is going to sound

00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:09.039
ridiculous. but they don't want to move. But

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.079
they do this thing where I'm not, I know when

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.019
you get older, you don't have the same strength

00:31:14.019 --> 00:31:17.200
to grab the luggage from up top, but they do

00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:19.920
this thing where they grab the luggage and then

00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:22.059
they like look around for like five minutes to

00:31:22.059 --> 00:31:24.660
make sure they have everything. And I know saying

00:31:24.660 --> 00:31:26.400
it out loud, you're like, oh, just be nice. But

00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:27.819
they do this thing where they just block the

00:31:27.819 --> 00:31:30.359
lane. It's worse when you're getting on the plane

00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:34.140
or you're blocking the runway more than when

00:31:34.140 --> 00:31:36.349
you're getting off. Because at least when you're

00:31:36.349 --> 00:31:37.849
getting off, you're making sure you have everything.

00:31:38.509 --> 00:31:43.930
But man, I'll see them go, is this gate CC26G?

00:31:44.769 --> 00:31:48.609
And it's obviously gate CC26G. And then they're

00:31:48.609 --> 00:31:51.829
like, oh my God, did you all see that it's gate

00:31:51.829 --> 00:31:57.549
CC26G? It's like, you're at the gate. You have

00:31:57.549 --> 00:32:01.750
to stop, sit down. You're blocking us. The entitlement

00:32:01.750 --> 00:32:06.960
of boomers. But I have boomers in my family,

00:32:06.980 --> 00:32:11.160
so I try to be nice. Awesome. Speaking of boomers,

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:16.319
I saw that Tim Cook just resigned from Apple.

00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:20.400
And by the way, with him resigning at Apple,

00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:24.200
you know what's interesting? I want to keep my

00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:26.900
iPhone for as long as possible. Yeah, the charging

00:32:26.900 --> 00:32:28.700
port doesn't work and I have to use the circular

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:31.799
charger. Yeah, I have to literally have my phone

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:33.539
on speaker and it does not work with Bluetooth

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:36.339
headphones. Yeah, it's starting to die faster.

00:32:36.460 --> 00:32:37.940
Yeah, it's the longest I've had a phone, two

00:32:37.940 --> 00:32:40.740
and a half years. It's like 80 in Apple years.

00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:44.140
But I refuse, I'll probably get one next week,

00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:48.019
I refuse to get a new phone. It's the precedent

00:32:48.019 --> 00:32:51.099
of the matter. Those damn Nokia brick phones.

00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:55.740
For all my 26 year old listeners, a Nokia phone

00:32:55.740 --> 00:32:58.559
was this big brick that would last 20 years.

00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:01.700
It would never had to charge it. Now, if I listen

00:33:01.700 --> 00:33:03.460
to Spotify at the airport and I go to the airport

00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:07.619
on 95%, I'm down to 60 % on the plane. That ain't

00:33:07.619 --> 00:33:11.640
it, dog. All right. So if this is your first

00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:13.380
time listening, you can kind of gradually see

00:33:13.380 --> 00:33:15.079
that I'm turning more into a jackass and I'm

00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.680
not as like serious as I was with Pete because

00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:20.680
he deserved that. Here's everything going on

00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:28.160
in celebrity trash. Here's Whitney. Talking about

00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.519
how you should never gossip about your man. I

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:32.079
mean, I see it. And there's certain rules to

00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:34.140
me that I live by in relationships. Now, it took

00:33:34.140 --> 00:33:36.339
me a while to learn, but you never gossip about

00:33:36.339 --> 00:33:38.960
your man ever. Oh, yeah. It's because she's an

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.039
elder millennial. So she gets it. Oh, the younger

00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.259
Gen Z girls are brats. Not all of them. Just

00:33:45.259 --> 00:33:48.460
the ones that speak out about the man. Ever.

00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.500
There's a. texting with some other girl you don't

00:33:52.500 --> 00:33:55.940
i'm like you don't tell any i'm gonna i'm gonna

00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:59.380
tell you if you want your relationship to work

00:33:59.380 --> 00:34:01.319
you gotta get the approval of the group text

00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:04.539
you take it to a therapist you take it to a 12

00:34:04.539 --> 00:34:07.079
-step meeting like don't ever gossip about your

00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:09.840
person oh wow that means when uh whitney went

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:12.420
to a 12 -step meeting she's probably a party

00:34:12.420 --> 00:34:16.449
girl Don't ever make fun of your person in public.

00:34:16.570 --> 00:34:19.710
I see people a lot, like that women that don't

00:34:19.710 --> 00:34:21.230
understand why relationships aren't working.

00:34:21.309 --> 00:34:22.730
And then you go out on a double date and like,

00:34:22.789 --> 00:34:24.510
cause he fucking can't get out. And you're just

00:34:24.510 --> 00:34:27.090
like, yeah, she's pretty right there. What the

00:34:27.090 --> 00:34:29.550
fuck are you doing? Like you're embarrassing

00:34:29.550 --> 00:34:33.349
your man. Yeah. But when a guy does it, put out

00:34:33.349 --> 00:34:37.369
in a month, they're allowed to. Man, funk dead.

00:34:38.869 --> 00:34:42.650
What else do we got here? This is going to be

00:34:42.650 --> 00:34:46.130
the most riveting stuff you ever heard. The rapper

00:34:46.130 --> 00:34:49.309
DDG says Chicago shouldn't be dangerous after

00:34:49.309 --> 00:34:51.650
seeing how nice the beaches and buildings are.

00:34:52.630 --> 00:35:01.730
Chicago got beaches? What the fuck? I'm so sick

00:35:01.730 --> 00:35:08.369
of the algorithm doing this. They beep out the

00:35:08.369 --> 00:35:13.800
sweat. Have we become so desensitized that we

00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:15.519
have to beep out swears because of the Wussified

00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.280
algorithm? When did y 'all get beaches? All right,

00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:21.380
there you go. The problem is the beaches only

00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:23.260
work for like three months and the sand's not

00:35:23.260 --> 00:35:26.539
really comfortable. Ah, there is a campaign to

00:35:26.539 --> 00:35:29.199
get rid of D4VD, David's music, off of Spotify

00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:33.079
and Apple. The problem is R. Kelly's still there.

00:35:33.219 --> 00:35:36.699
As much as I think he's a thug, as much as I

00:35:36.699 --> 00:35:40.679
think he's a scumbag. And I think his music's

00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:44.599
soulless and terrible. I really had to burp when

00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:45.960
I was doing the Pete speech, but I didn't want

00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:48.679
to. As much as I think David's awful, we got

00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:51.139
awful people on his music. Like Michael, we got

00:35:51.139 --> 00:35:53.239
awful people on Spotify. Like Michael Jackson.

00:35:54.500 --> 00:35:58.440
Here is, okay, this is gonna be a conspiracy

00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:02.460
route, but I kind of, okay. So everybody said

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:05.500
that the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting was staged.

00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.119
And at this past dinner, the shooting at the

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:11.960
White House was staged or at the White House

00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:16.659
Correspondents Dinner. And I'm not against thinking

00:36:16.659 --> 00:36:20.059
that. But what confuses me is if they never found

00:36:20.059 --> 00:36:22.760
the shooter, that's one thing. But why would

00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:27.599
a shooter get paid and then want to give up their

00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:32.039
life? Because here's the weird part. Is like

00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:35.670
I've seen like the Reagan shooting. Mm -hmm.

00:36:36.889 --> 00:36:40.429
I've seen the JFK shooting, and usually people

00:36:40.429 --> 00:36:43.690
freak out a little more. Everybody after this

00:36:43.690 --> 00:36:46.730
correspondence dinner, you got Cash Patel just

00:36:46.730 --> 00:36:48.710
kind of looking around. You got one boomer eating

00:36:48.710 --> 00:36:51.849
salad, and then here's Dana White. Getting flipped

00:36:51.849 --> 00:36:54.869
over, guys running in with guns, and they were

00:36:54.869 --> 00:36:58.070
screaming, get down. I didn't get down. It was

00:36:58.070 --> 00:37:00.730
fucking awesome. Oh, yeah, shooting at a dinner.

00:37:00.889 --> 00:37:03.960
Awesome. Why? Because it's probably staged. Literally

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:07.599
took every minute of it in. Oh, yeah, that's

00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:09.820
what I do when I'm at a shooting. I don't try

00:37:09.820 --> 00:37:12.320
to leave the building and get traumatized. I

00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:15.639
embrace every second of a shooting. It was a

00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:19.820
pretty crazy, unique experience. It's so funny.

00:37:20.019 --> 00:37:22.519
It's awesome being shot at. You were on the aisle.

00:37:22.619 --> 00:37:25.239
What exactly did you see? We were sitting right

00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:27.619
in front of the table. Okay. It's awesome being

00:37:27.619 --> 00:37:29.239
right by the shooter and almost dying. Cool.

00:37:30.989 --> 00:37:32.849
This is where I start to believe the conspiracy

00:37:32.849 --> 00:37:44.250
route. And we kept eating and just drinking and

00:37:44.250 --> 00:37:48.769
cheating on our lives. That is very strange.

00:37:50.269 --> 00:37:53.389
There you go. That's the normal reaction to a

00:37:53.389 --> 00:37:55.289
shooting. Oh, yeah, it's pretty awesome, dude.

00:37:55.590 --> 00:37:58.860
Once in a lifetime experience. we'll talk about

00:37:58.860 --> 00:38:05.539
this more later on but clay thompson and um good

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:10.440
old megan the stallion broke up and here is cloud

00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:13.380
chasing michael rapaport on it i'm doing this

00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:17.960
um video from the bed because i'm hiding from

00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:22.280
my wife because of you clay thompson Oh, Sean.

00:38:23.219 --> 00:38:25.900
Clay Thompson, you're f***ing up everything for

00:38:25.900 --> 00:38:29.119
everybody else. Cheating on Megan Thee Stallion.

00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:32.300
Yeah, Megan seems high -main and so. And supposedly

00:38:32.300 --> 00:38:35.139
she's the world's famous side chick. I don't

00:38:35.139 --> 00:38:37.000
think Clay took her as seriously. Do I think

00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:41.039
Clay's stronger along? Yeah. You got my wife

00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:43.639
and probably everybody else's wife and girlfriend

00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:46.840
thinking, well, if Clay Thompson is going to

00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:49.079
cheat on Megan Thee Stallion, what the f*** are

00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:51.900
you going to do to me? There you go. You know,

00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:54.980
although his sitcom The War at Home 20 years

00:38:54.980 --> 00:38:59.280
ago was quite funny. This is very strange. So

00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:03.179
we all know that Blueface is a scumbag, but it's

00:39:03.179 --> 00:39:05.300
a pretty funny internet presence. Here he is

00:39:05.300 --> 00:39:12.719
telling his baby mama to wipe his ass. Probably

00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:22.440
used to that in prison. And all these women that

00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:28.800
let him demean them. Ew, you're so nasty. No,

00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:32.539
you're nasty, blue face. You're a scumbag! And

00:39:32.539 --> 00:39:34.460
all the tattoos on your face make you look like

00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:39.119
a dumpster. There you go. The life and times

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:41.599
of father of the year and blue face. He's blue

00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:45.780
face! And he's an idiot. And he'll always be

00:39:45.780 --> 00:39:57.949
one! man. Call the show. 856 49 Hoppy. So I guess

00:39:57.949 --> 00:40:01.110
they're making a rush hour for him. Why be original?

00:40:01.909 --> 00:40:04.309
This is an interesting clip that is going viral

00:40:04.309 --> 00:40:08.329
from 25 years ago. Jay Leno asks NSYNC who spends

00:40:08.329 --> 00:40:13.469
the most money? Who spends the most? I don't

00:40:13.469 --> 00:40:15.210
know if he spends the most. He spends it on the

00:40:15.210 --> 00:40:17.570
stupidest things. Joey Fatone, which is why he

00:40:17.570 --> 00:40:22.019
always has to earn money. What's stupid? Having

00:40:22.019 --> 00:40:24.840
your own small theater in your house and it probably

00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:28.239
costs just as much as the house does. It's built

00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:30.099
in like a Star Wars kind of thing. It's not economical.

00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:35.760
They're adorable. Too bad they can't get along.

00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:39.260
I would go to that tour. Donald Trump says he's

00:40:39.260 --> 00:40:41.400
not a pedophile. It was a stunning thing to read,

00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:45.159
Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive

00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:48.789
in it. He writes this quote, administration officials,

00:40:49.050 --> 00:40:52.570
they are targets. And he also wrote this. I'm

00:40:52.570 --> 00:40:55.269
no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist

00:40:55.269 --> 00:40:58.210
and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

00:40:58.449 --> 00:41:00.369
What's your reaction? Well, I was waiting for

00:41:00.369 --> 00:41:02.250
you to read that because I knew you would, because

00:41:02.250 --> 00:41:05.889
you're you're you're horrible people. Oh, you're

00:41:05.889 --> 00:41:09.210
an angel. Shut your orange ass. Horrible people.

00:41:09.369 --> 00:41:12.590
Yeah, he did write that. uh i'm not a rapist

00:41:12.590 --> 00:41:14.929
i didn't rape anybody he does this weird thing

00:41:14.929 --> 00:41:16.190
he did it the other day when he's talking about

00:41:16.190 --> 00:41:18.489
deaf people where he starts to emphasize the

00:41:18.489 --> 00:41:28.909
first letter rapist uh i'm not a pedophile you

00:41:28.909 --> 00:41:33.250
read that crap from some sick person uh i got

00:41:33.250 --> 00:41:36.989
associated with all stuff that has nothing to

00:41:36.989 --> 00:41:40.349
do with me i was totally exonerated your friends

00:41:40.349 --> 00:41:44.230
on the other side of the plate are the ones that

00:41:44.230 --> 00:41:47.909
were involved with, let's say Epstein or other

00:41:47.909 --> 00:41:51.010
things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll

00:41:51.010 --> 00:41:53.269
do this interview and they'll probably, I read

00:41:53.269 --> 00:41:55.150
the manifesto, you know, he's a sick person,

00:41:55.210 --> 00:41:59.070
but you should be ashamed of yourself. All right.

00:41:59.090 --> 00:42:00.789
You should be ashamed of yourself. You're married

00:42:00.789 --> 00:42:05.769
to a prostitute. Did I say that all out? I did.

00:42:06.570 --> 00:42:11.260
She's a bust down. Here is Kristen Cavallari

00:42:11.260 --> 00:42:14.380
telling Call Her Daddy about dating musicians.

00:42:14.699 --> 00:42:17.139
I've dated a lot of athletes. Everyone knows

00:42:17.139 --> 00:42:19.739
I've dated a lot of athletes, had serious relationships,

00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:22.559
flings, whatever. And they're an interesting

00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:26.099
breed. Yeah. Was Jay your first professional

00:42:26.099 --> 00:42:28.880
athlete that you dated? No. I have a few under

00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:30.480
my belt as well. So you kind of already knew.

00:42:30.539 --> 00:42:35.489
Oh, yeah. She's got a long body count. You know,

00:42:35.510 --> 00:42:37.030
it helps when you have them under your belt because

00:42:37.030 --> 00:42:39.530
you kind of know. I get that world. All right,

00:42:39.530 --> 00:42:42.789
shut up. You're annoying. One of those, you know,

00:42:42.809 --> 00:42:44.570
she talks about the breakups because she's never

00:42:44.570 --> 00:42:49.510
the problem. Here's Alex Cooper giving some advice

00:42:49.510 --> 00:42:50.829
to women. I'm sure this is going to be good.

00:42:50.989 --> 00:42:53.230
I've had so many dates where like I had great

00:42:53.230 --> 00:42:55.889

00:43:20.300 --> 00:43:22.820

what feels right to you. And so if you have some

00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:27.179
fucking friends that are prudes that are like,

00:43:27.219 --> 00:43:29.739
you should never kiss on the first date. You're

00:43:29.739 --> 00:43:31.599
going to give them the wrong impression. And

00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:33.639
they're just going to think you're a whore. Yeah.

00:43:34.019 --> 00:43:38.519
And you're married to a scumbag. OK, maybe for

00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:41.280
you, Cassandra. But I'm about to let him in my

00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:45.780
back door. Oh, yeah. I feel like sandpaper. It's

00:43:45.780 --> 00:43:48.400
such an overrated act. All right, there you go.

00:43:49.219 --> 00:43:53.400
That is the modern day woman. Mm -hmm. Not all

00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:55.980
of them. But I don't want Allie's friends thinking,

00:43:56.019 --> 00:43:59.400
oh, I'm just saying. Oh, let's see here. Here's

00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:03.420
DJ Academic on Clay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion.

00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:05.079
Y 'all want me to keep it a bean with y 'all?

00:44:06.340 --> 00:44:08.119
See, y 'all want me to keep it a, when I keep

00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:11.090

00:44:11.090 --> 00:44:12.989
keep it a beat. All right, I ain't going to play

00:44:12.989 --> 00:44:14.590
it. He was just going to say that she's a world

00:44:14.590 --> 00:44:16.030
-famous side chick, but when they start saying

00:44:16.030 --> 00:44:19.650
the N -word, I get the hell out of there. Scares

00:44:19.650 --> 00:44:21.170
me, and I don't feel like having to edit it.

00:44:21.389 --> 00:44:29.449
Bye -bye. All right. 856 -49 -HOPPY. It's 856

00:44:29.449 --> 00:44:36.500
-494 -6773. Here is Riley Reid. everyone's favorite

00:44:36.500 --> 00:44:38.880
porn star and there's a story online that she

00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:40.340
got religious I don't even know if it's true

00:44:40.340 --> 00:44:42.780
but here she is talking about what she got into

00:44:42.780 --> 00:44:45.840
porn and like even when I started porn like the

00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:48.320
only reason I started was because like I was

00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:51.139
like I'm gonna be on page like nine million and

00:44:51.139 --> 00:44:55.860
like no one's gonna want me like I was like They're

00:44:55.860 --> 00:44:59.500
not going to want small tits. I'm tiny, not voluptuous,

00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:02.880
like a brown hair. I'm basic, basic bitch or

00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:07.559
whatever. I never thought anyone would really

00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.360
like me. So that's also why I started it. And

00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:13.039
so at no point was my goal to ever become successful.

00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:16.380
It's so weird how they're human beings. So you

00:45:16.380 --> 00:45:20.440
just spank to it and go about your day. and then

00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:22.800
their videos live online forever he like just

00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:25.400
enjoyed being on set and i just wanted to like

00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:29.280
i wanted like i i think i in porn it's not that

00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:30.940
i was wanting to be successful in porn but i

00:45:30.940 --> 00:45:34.639
wanted like a good repertoire so like when i

00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:36.239
worked for companies i wanted people to like

00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:39.099
like me i wanted to be friendly and pleasant

00:45:39.099 --> 00:45:44.179
and like nice to be around because like and your

00:45:44.179 --> 00:45:46.460
face got painted more than a picasso painting

00:45:49.340 --> 00:45:51.739
Here is a woman talking about how she's good

00:45:51.739 --> 00:45:53.960
with double standards in dating. I'm sure she's

00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:55.619
going to be farty because she's pretty, but I'm

00:45:55.619 --> 00:45:57.519
sure she's going to be farty years old and washed

00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:01.920
up. My relationship, I have a lot. All of these

00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:05.099
are fines. Number one, I have my partner's location,

00:46:05.260 --> 00:46:08.280
but he does not have mine. Because you're cheating

00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:10.780
on him. And then you're going to be like, why

00:46:10.780 --> 00:46:14.460
don't good guys like me? I just like, I want

00:46:14.460 --> 00:46:16.800
some privacy sometimes. I'm not doing anything

00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:21.320
bad. Yeah, it's not true. You're getting banged

00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:24.260
up. But I'm like, when I'm at the mall on a random

00:46:24.260 --> 00:46:26.519
Wednesday at 10 in the morning, like. No one

00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:28.280
needs to know. Anytime. Yeah, because you're

00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:31.280
never. I'm coming home from a trip. He is picking

00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:33.559
me up at the airport. You are not that pretty

00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:35.579
to be acting like this. If it's like four in

00:46:35.579 --> 00:46:38.420
the morning. You're annoying. But if it's like

00:46:38.420 --> 00:46:41.059
past 10 p .m., I'm not picking him up. Like it

00:46:41.059 --> 00:46:43.400
could be unsafe for me to walk in the parking

00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:46.900
garage. All right, there you go. Blah, blah,

00:46:46.940 --> 00:46:49.480
blah. She's probably in high school during COVID,

00:46:49.579 --> 00:46:52.829
which is why she's so weird. Jeffrey Starr says

00:46:52.829 --> 00:46:55.769
he's hooked up with a lot of, says, I guess it's

00:46:55.769 --> 00:46:57.969
a he, says he's hooked up with NBA players and

00:46:57.969 --> 00:47:02.550
rappers. Probably Bobby Valentino. Mm -hmm. Dwight

00:47:02.550 --> 00:47:05.269
Hearn. You guys, what does this mean? NBA guys

00:47:05.269 --> 00:47:08.150
reach out to you? A lot of NBA players and rappers,

00:47:08.349 --> 00:47:10.730
yes. But I have a code where I'm never going

00:47:10.730 --> 00:47:12.349
to out them. And a lot of them have threatened

00:47:12.349 --> 00:47:14.269
to murder me if I ever say their names. Jesus.

00:47:14.489 --> 00:47:18.690
The sex is great. The names are invisible. There

00:47:18.690 --> 00:47:21.219
you go. How do they reach out to you? How do

00:47:21.219 --> 00:47:23.940
they do that? If you had the password to my phone,

00:47:23.980 --> 00:47:26.199
you would shit yourself. But that is like crazy.

00:47:26.219 --> 00:47:28.099
Unless they just know that because that's crazy.

00:47:28.260 --> 00:47:29.539
You got to make sure you don't poop yourself

00:47:29.539 --> 00:47:33.079
before they act. What if that's a huge risk just

00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:35.159
to do that? If they haven't talked to you yet,

00:47:35.179 --> 00:47:40.960
you haven't. Jessica Beal and Justin Timberlake's

00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:47.059
marriage is not done yet. So that's good. Sidney

00:47:47.059 --> 00:47:49.380
Sweeney says that Scooter Braun has changed her

00:47:49.380 --> 00:47:53.400
life. Cash Patel has been arrested before for

00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:56.719
public urination, but he's never drank. Shire

00:47:56.719 --> 00:48:06.019
Magus is stupid. What else? Tom Hanks is proud

00:48:06.019 --> 00:48:08.639
of Chet Hanks at a stagecoach concert. Erica

00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:10.380
Kirk was crying when leaving the White House

00:48:10.380 --> 00:48:15.860
dinner. When is she not crying? A substitute

00:48:15.860 --> 00:48:19.239
teacher is facing a felony charge for an improper

00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:21.800
relationship with a student. She kind of, her

00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:26.679
name is Angela Palarmis, right? I want to make

00:48:26.679 --> 00:48:29.880
sure I say the right name. Yeah, Angela Palmaris.

00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:34.739
And she's very pale. And when you look at those

00:48:34.739 --> 00:48:38.960
eyes, you just know she's a sociopath. I think

00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:40.619
the problem is now that we have pornography,

00:48:41.019 --> 00:48:43.619
I mean, we've always had porn. But now that we

00:48:43.619 --> 00:48:45.460
have porn where we are just seeing people getting

00:48:45.460 --> 00:48:48.380
banged up, their teachers are getting banged

00:48:48.380 --> 00:48:51.920
up all the time, especially in Lionel County,

00:48:52.099 --> 00:48:54.639
Texas, where there's nothing to do. If a man

00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:56.480
does it, he's crucified. But when a woman does

00:48:56.480 --> 00:48:58.719
it, we have the naughty thoughts about, what

00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:01.920
if that was our high school teacher? Sidney Sweeney

00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:04.280
looked hot at a Diplo concert. Good for her.

00:49:05.380 --> 00:49:07.599
People are mad about Jimmy Kimmel's joke about

00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:12.780
Trump. Whatever, dude. I love how MAGA says liberals

00:49:12.780 --> 00:49:14.760
get so easily offended. And then there are the

00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:19.380
ones that seem easily offended. Here's a hot

00:49:19.380 --> 00:49:21.340
girl saying why you should trust awkward people.

00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:24.260
Hear me out. Trust the awkward people. Trust

00:49:24.260 --> 00:49:26.239
the awkward ones. You know why they're awkward?

00:49:26.500 --> 00:49:28.840
I like how she said awkward. Because they literally

00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:32.320
don't know how to act normal as offensive, not

00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:35.199
awkward. They can read the social cues, but they

00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:37.699
don't know how to act appropriately. Because

00:49:37.699 --> 00:49:40.739
they don't know how to act. She sounds like she's...

00:49:40.739 --> 00:49:43.380
Her voice sounds like she's giving head. It's

00:49:43.380 --> 00:49:45.719
very strange. Because they're not... It's like

00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:50.400
she's got a mouthful. Eight. There you go. Eight,

00:49:50.460 --> 00:49:53.500
five, six. 49 Hoppy. Let's see what we got here

00:49:53.500 --> 00:49:56.719
on Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy. Oh, here's Michael

00:49:56.719 --> 00:49:58.860
Blackson reacting to Klay Thompson and Megan

00:49:58.860 --> 00:50:01.199
Thee Stallion's breakup. Thompson, I'm very disappointed

00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:04.280
in you. What? Very disappointed. You don't know

00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:07.239
this side, Mary. She's an annoying hag. I mean,

00:50:07.260 --> 00:50:11.659
Meg is a queen. Oh, my God. That's the problem.

00:50:11.739 --> 00:50:14.420
It's all the men are beta. Because now they're

00:50:14.420 --> 00:50:17.460
all like, I hope I can bang her. She won't piss

00:50:17.460 --> 00:50:20.539
on you if you're on fire. I can promise you that.

00:50:20.739 --> 00:50:23.019
She's hot. She's beautiful. Got her life together.

00:50:23.539 --> 00:50:25.559
He probably was freaking out when she took off

00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:27.579
the hair and the wig and the weave and was like,

00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:30.699
oh, my God. That's true. You ain't no snow bunny.

00:50:31.780 --> 00:50:35.619
Successful. Whatever, dude. She just seems like

00:50:35.619 --> 00:50:38.920
a brat. Although she does Kegels, which I like.

00:50:40.739 --> 00:50:43.519
Melania Trump wants Jimmy Kimmel fired. What?

00:50:43.579 --> 00:50:49.360
Right at the head. Yeah, president! Cindy Lauper

00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:51.440
said during Vegas, I'm from Brooklyn. I will

00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:53.880
come and get you to the heckler. She doesn't

00:50:53.880 --> 00:51:01.320
sound crazy or anything. Today on TMZ. Okay,

00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:07.940
Superman. is causing a prison riot in Atlanta.

00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:11.300
Superman is filming at the FCI Atlanta prison.

00:51:11.519 --> 00:51:14.039
The inmates are very upset because they are being

00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:16.280
forced to stay in their cells for longer. You

00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:17.719
know what they're probably saying? Because they

00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:22.300
can't go to, like, the lounge. The lounge. That

00:51:22.300 --> 00:51:27.619
sounds so good. So we obtained video of Dylan

00:51:27.619 --> 00:51:30.880
Sprouse looking like he's holding a gun when

00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:33.219
this trespasser came to his house. So we had

00:51:33.219 --> 00:51:37.579
heard he had apprehended the guy. He's a badass.

00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:40.880
I just said that. I had the gym represents him

00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:42.519
and was telling me about it. Represents Dylan?

00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:45.480
Represents Dylan, yeah. Or cuts his hair, I think,

00:51:45.500 --> 00:51:52.340
actually. Sierra Miller has joined Dancing with

00:51:52.340 --> 00:51:55.260
the Stars. Following the Amanda. What a hot piece

00:51:55.260 --> 00:51:58.420
of ass shoes. West drama. Who's the other person

00:51:58.420 --> 00:52:00.360
that got on? Maura Higgins. I don't know who

00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:02.260
that is though. The hot chick from Creators.

00:52:02.300 --> 00:52:04.739
Show them her body and they'll remember. Ooh,

00:52:04.739 --> 00:52:07.880
look at Maura. Can I just tell you, hot girls

00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:11.099
are a dime a dozen on these shows. But the ones

00:52:11.099 --> 00:52:13.579
that get cheated on are special. Look at Devin's

00:52:13.579 --> 00:52:20.599
slow -mo, dude. Charlize Theron went after Timothy

00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:23.039
Chalamet. We should on other art forms. I think.

00:52:23.139 --> 00:52:26.420
Oh, shut up. Yeah. AI is going to be able to

00:52:26.420 --> 00:52:30.219
do Timothy's job. I don't think so. What about

00:52:30.219 --> 00:52:32.280
your job? What have you done recently for me,

00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:34.519
honey? She's right. I mean, you guys are. All

00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:36.480
right. So that's when they go on talking. Blah,

00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:39.579
blah, blah. It's like that scene from The Critic.

00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:42.880
Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. If you've

00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.780
seen The Critic, you get it. Okay, whatever.

00:52:48.230 --> 00:52:50.690
Charlie Sheen says he's open to rekindling his

00:52:50.690 --> 00:52:53.210
friendship with former co -star John Pryor. You

00:52:53.210 --> 00:52:55.829
know John Pryor wants nothing to do with him.

00:52:57.309 --> 00:53:00.289
but simply doesn't want to bother him. I would

00:53:00.289 --> 00:53:02.269
agree with that. In an interview with People

00:53:02.269 --> 00:53:05.150
Mag published April 24th, Charlie reveals he

00:53:05.150 --> 00:53:07.329
is still not connected with his former Two and

00:53:07.329 --> 00:53:09.570
a Half Men co -star, since Sean participated

00:53:09.570 --> 00:53:12.650
in Charlie's Netflix Doctor series released September

00:53:12.650 --> 00:53:15.809
2025, because he doesn't like to bother people.

00:53:16.150 --> 00:53:18.489
Still, Charlie admits he's grateful to John for

00:53:18.489 --> 00:53:20.969
taking part in his documentary, which included

00:53:20.969 --> 00:53:23.309
detailed accounts about Shane's life from his

00:53:23.309 --> 00:53:26.389
family, friends, exes, and former castmates.

00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:29.139
Charlie sang at the panel discussion for people.

00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:32.079
All right, so there you go. Hopefully I can get

00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:34.960
along. Life's short. And you both made a lot

00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:42.750
of money. Happy Hot Topic. Here is Vinny. From

00:53:42.750 --> 00:53:44.809
Jersey Shore interviewing Pauly D, which I'm

00:53:44.809 --> 00:53:46.829
sure you knew it was Pauly D when he said. Yeah,

00:53:46.849 --> 00:53:50.550
buddy. He probably hears cabs are here. T -shirt

00:53:50.550 --> 00:53:52.329
time, you know. T -shirt time's a big one. So

00:53:52.329 --> 00:53:56.570
she's allowed. Here he is saying if his daughter's

00:53:56.570 --> 00:53:58.489
seen his show. To watch the family vacation,

00:53:58.750 --> 00:54:01.489
but not the earlier episodes. She's not allowed

00:54:01.489 --> 00:54:02.909
to watch those, so I have to put the parental

00:54:02.909 --> 00:54:06.010
controls on. Oh, yeah, they didn't think about

00:54:06.010 --> 00:54:08.269
their future when they were running trains and

00:54:08.269 --> 00:54:13.079
that. He's saying, would you let her do reality

00:54:13.079 --> 00:54:23.440
TV? Here's the next one. How do you feel about

00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:33.860
family vacation coming to an end? I don't believe

00:54:33.860 --> 00:54:36.840
it'll come to an end. I believe! It'll be like

00:54:36.840 --> 00:54:41.440
Jersey Shore nursing home. The family. We're

00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:43.820
just excited to see kind of like what's next.

00:54:44.380 --> 00:54:47.380
What's next will be another show. They originally

00:54:47.380 --> 00:54:49.679
did it to help the situation pay off those legal

00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:55.559
bills. You can certainly buy yourself flowers,

00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:58.099
but that didn't stop her from receiving several

00:54:58.099 --> 00:55:01.380
bouquets for her birthday. She's so cute. Including

00:55:01.380 --> 00:55:04.880
one from boyfriend Bradley Cooper. The model

00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:07.420
ringing in her 31st... Alright, so she got flowers.

00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:13.260
Good for her. Hmm. Cameron Gregg, the husband

00:55:13.260 --> 00:55:15.900
of late TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Gregg, is

00:55:15.900 --> 00:55:19.039
engaged to be married once again, 18 months after

00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:21.539
Taylor's untimely passing. And then everybody

00:55:21.539 --> 00:55:23.679
was commenting how they're judging him for moving

00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:26.599
on. The person's dead. You gotta move on. Happy

00:55:26.599 --> 00:55:31.980
Hot Topic! Jamie Lynn Spears gets emotional over

00:55:31.980 --> 00:55:35.519
her daughter's next chapter. On April 24th, the

00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:38.639
actress shares a bittersweet Instagram post revealing

00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:41.480
her daughter Maddie is about to graduate high

00:55:41.480 --> 00:55:44.880
school. The Zoey 101 star posts a series of photos

00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:48.239
from senior year snapshots to sweet throwbacks

00:55:48.239 --> 00:55:50.820
of Maddie as a baby, writing in the caption,

00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:54.239
the grad invites are sent, the cap and gown arrived,

00:55:54.300 --> 00:55:57.239
and the last regular day of school is here. I

00:55:57.239 --> 00:55:59.199
guess the lovely state of... The denial that

00:55:59.199 --> 00:56:02.440
I forced myself to be in has to end because the

00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:05.099
reality of time is coming at me like a freight

00:56:05.099 --> 00:56:11.340
train. Here comes the middle of chaos. Rob Reiner's

00:56:11.340 --> 00:56:14.960
oldest son is grieving out loud. Jake Reiner

00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:16.960
opened up at length for the first time about

00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:19.139
his parents' murders, penning a heartbreaking

00:56:19.139 --> 00:56:22.000
Substack essay that reflected on the moment he

00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:24.699
learned that both Rob and his wife Michelle had

00:56:24.699 --> 00:56:27.610
died. and the impact their losses have had on

00:56:27.610 --> 00:56:30.550
the family since. I was robbed of so many things

00:56:30.550 --> 00:56:33.050
that day. My parents won't be at my wedding,

00:56:33.170 --> 00:56:35.230
they won't get to hold their future grandchild,

00:56:35.389 --> 00:56:37.429
and they won't get to see me have the successful

00:56:37.429 --> 00:56:40.909
career I'm still seeking. It simultaneously breaks

00:56:40.909 --> 00:56:44.090
my heart and enrages me, he wrote in part. Nothing

00:56:44.090 --> 00:56:46.269
can prepare you for what it feels like to lose

00:56:46.269 --> 00:56:49.190
both parents instantly at the same time. Especially

00:56:49.190 --> 00:56:51.630
to your brother. It's too devastating to comprehend.

00:56:52.030 --> 00:56:54.530
I still wake up every morning having to convince

00:56:54.530 --> 00:56:57.510
myself that, no, it's not a dream. This truly

00:56:57.510 --> 00:57:02.030
is my living nightmare. I'm sorry, bud. 856 -49

00:57:02.030 --> 00:57:04.969
-HOPPY. So supposedly the people that took the

00:57:04.969 --> 00:57:07.610
picture of Diana Rossini and Mike Frabel were

00:57:07.610 --> 00:57:11.670
not, it was not a private eye. Anthony Edwards,

00:57:11.909 --> 00:57:14.670
baby mamas are going after him in court. When

00:57:14.670 --> 00:57:16.610
you got two pissed off baby mamas, that ain't

00:57:16.610 --> 00:57:20.590
good. What do we got here? We got that story.

00:57:21.710 --> 00:57:23.610
And then we'll get to Megan Thee Stallion in

00:57:23.610 --> 00:57:25.869
a second. Here's a clip of, I believe it's Diana

00:57:25.869 --> 00:57:28.670
Rossini. Here she is talking about Mike Rabel's

00:57:28.670 --> 00:57:34.869
big hands. Room and he's confident and he's physically

00:57:34.869 --> 00:57:38.849
a big human being. Hell yeah. Yeah. And it's

00:57:38.849 --> 00:57:42.340
a little startling at first. Very normal. I'm

00:57:42.340 --> 00:57:44.500
big, too. All right, when I say this to you,

00:57:44.539 --> 00:57:46.179
right? These are all facts, by the way, and we

00:57:46.179 --> 00:57:48.460
love Coach Frabel, and he is, I mean, that's

00:57:48.460 --> 00:57:50.000
what I'd want out of my football coach. Correct.

00:57:50.420 --> 00:57:55.800
His hands and he's inside me. Mm -hmm. Ah, there's

00:57:55.800 --> 00:57:58.780
this, too. There could be wedding bells in store

00:57:58.780 --> 00:58:02.760
for Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz. According to

00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:05.719
a new report from Page Six, a source has confirmed

00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:08.179
that the couple are engaged after eight months

00:58:08.179 --> 00:58:10.719
of dating, with an insider telling the outlet

00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:13.460
that Harry is, quote, completely smitten, while

00:58:13.460 --> 00:58:17.619
Zoe herself. I'm smitten too, really. Is on cloud

00:58:17.619 --> 00:58:20.280
nine. The pair first sparked engagement rumors

00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.860
over the weekend when the high fidelity actress

00:58:22.860 --> 00:58:25.699
was spotted rocking what appeared to be a massive

00:58:25.699 --> 00:58:28.539
diamond ring on her. So they're probably engaged.

00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:35.320
And she's so freaking hot. Mm -hmm. 856 -49 -HAPPY.

00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:41.320
And then there is this. Happy Hot Topic. Mm -hmm.

00:58:42.699 --> 00:58:44.300
I know a lot of people don't understand that

00:58:44.300 --> 00:58:46.079
I'm like dating and hanging out and just like

00:58:46.079 --> 00:58:48.980
having fun. Jessie Draper details her healing

00:58:48.980 --> 00:58:52.360
journey after her divorce. One month after her

00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:55.440
estranged husband, Jordan Nadikara, filed for

00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:58.219
divorce, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star

00:58:58.219 --> 00:59:00.880
reflects on her five -year marriage and life

00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:03.599
after the split. She candidly explains in her

00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:07.300
April 25th Instagram video. I did a lot of mourning

00:59:07.300 --> 00:59:09.400
in my relationship. I don't know if anyone can

00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:11.119
relate to that. When you're in a relationship

00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:13.940
where... you don't feel valued and you don't

00:59:13.940 --> 00:59:16.519
feel like you were treated well. All right, so

00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:19.260
she's doing that thing women do where they're

00:59:19.260 --> 00:59:21.219
putting on their makeup and they're calling out

00:59:21.219 --> 00:59:23.539
the men because they're never the problem. It's

00:59:23.539 --> 00:59:28.579
everyone else. All right. Let's talk about this.

00:59:28.619 --> 00:59:32.099
Let's see if there's copyright. Ready whenever

00:59:32.099 --> 00:59:38.210
you are, Michael. The Michael Jackson movie broke

00:59:38.210 --> 00:59:45.429
box office records amid the controversy. Absolutely

00:59:45.429 --> 00:59:49.170
ridiculous. That he left the biggest part of

00:59:49.170 --> 00:59:52.210
his life being a probable pedophile. How could

00:59:52.210 --> 00:59:55.349
it be offensive? Here's the thing. I don't feel

00:59:55.349 --> 00:59:58.570
like talking about it again. So what we're going

00:59:58.570 --> 01:00:02.409
to do, I'm going to play you the rant I did about

01:00:02.409 --> 01:00:06.420
it the other day. Just so that, you know. We

01:00:06.420 --> 01:00:09.719
can relive the memories of me being outspoken.

01:00:10.500 --> 01:00:12.920
We'll be back in two minutes and 43 seconds.

01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:22.199
I saw this headline here. And I kind of knew

01:00:22.199 --> 01:00:25.719
this was going to happen. But I still couldn't

01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:32.800
believe it. You know what it is? We all know.

01:00:32.860 --> 01:00:35.619
that Michael Jackson is probably a pedophile.

01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:39.059
If you're a kiss -ass fan of his, he wouldn't

01:00:39.059 --> 01:00:41.260
piss on you if you're on fire. He'd piss on you

01:00:41.260 --> 01:00:44.360
sexually. And I'm telling you, we all know he

01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:47.579
was guilty. And supposedly, they left that part

01:00:47.579 --> 01:00:50.929
out of the movie. Just two years after Michael

01:00:50.929 --> 01:00:52.929
Jackson's song, Black or White, which is about

01:00:52.929 --> 01:00:55.550
unity, was released, fans were divided when he

01:00:55.550 --> 01:00:57.809
was accused of child molestation. Allegation.

01:00:57.929 --> 01:01:00.889
Yeah, that was the time as a kid where I learned

01:01:00.889 --> 01:01:04.190
what a pedophile was. My parents were so uncomfortable

01:01:04.190 --> 01:01:07.530
in the car. They didn't know what to say. Because

01:01:07.530 --> 01:01:10.530
he's a pedophile. And that's all he is. Since

01:01:10.530 --> 01:01:13.329
he consistently denied. Michael, we have Michael.

01:01:13.789 --> 01:01:15.110
Of course he's going to deny it. What's he going

01:01:15.110 --> 01:01:21.389
to say? I love kids. who obtained the biopic's

01:01:21.389 --> 01:01:23.949
original script reports any scenes that depicted

01:01:23.949 --> 01:01:26.190
the Dark Chapter in Jackson's life had to be

01:01:26.190 --> 01:01:30.829
cut. Oh, yeah! Because why? Why have an honest

01:01:30.829 --> 01:01:34.630
documentary? He was found innocent! So in the

01:01:34.630 --> 01:01:36.929
movie, it would be that he won, even though I

01:01:36.929 --> 01:01:39.309
don't believe he's innocent. But, oh, the Michael

01:01:39.309 --> 01:01:43.170
Jackson fans that are giant accent boomers are

01:01:43.170 --> 01:01:47.590
so frickin' whipped by him. Mm -hmm. Let's just

01:01:47.590 --> 01:01:53.039
rewrite the past. to Variety Sources, a sequence

01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:55.340
where investigators arrive at Jackson's Neverland

01:01:55.340 --> 01:01:58.000
Ranch searching for evidence was one of many

01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:01.380
removed from the film due to legal reasons. I'm

01:02:01.380 --> 01:02:03.320
sure the legal reasons are they didn't want to

01:02:03.320 --> 01:02:08.300
hit it. It's a part of his life! Cut. Those changes

01:02:08.300 --> 01:02:10.760
in the film directed by Antoine Fuqua reportedly

01:02:10.760 --> 01:02:15.039
resulted in a $10 -15 million 22 -day reshoot.

01:02:15.260 --> 01:02:18.719
Oh yeah, they gotta reshoot it. Why hide? And

01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:22.150
why be honest? adding to the film's already $155

01:02:22.150 --> 01:02:26.730
million budget. Listen, I loved, I had his box

01:02:26.730 --> 01:02:28.929
set. It was like a big white box set and I loved

01:02:28.929 --> 01:02:31.289
his music. And once I found out more about him,

01:02:31.309 --> 01:02:34.550
he just creeps me out, man. He gives me bad vibes.

01:02:36.809 --> 01:02:41.630
Creeps me out, man. It's not good vibes. I don't

01:02:41.630 --> 01:02:44.369
look at Michael Jackson and go, oh yeah, I want

01:02:44.369 --> 01:02:48.469
to hang out with him. I used to do videos. I

01:02:48.469 --> 01:02:51.659
didn't get the million dollar budget. All right,

01:02:51.679 --> 01:02:52.900
I can't play any more of this because it's got

01:02:52.900 --> 01:02:56.860
copyright. But yeah, you all enable it. And you

01:02:56.860 --> 01:03:02.840
all covered it up. It's ridiculous. Hi, I'm back.

01:03:04.119 --> 01:03:08.420
I was just afraid that the Today Show video would

01:03:08.420 --> 01:03:10.639
have a lot of, like the music and I can't play

01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:15.059
them. All right. What is this right here? 856

01:03:15.059 --> 01:03:20.980

01:03:29.019 --> 01:03:30.739
is recovering from her wardrobe malfunction.

01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:33.440
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelo sat down with the...

01:03:33.440 --> 01:03:35.760
Such an overused word. Unless we're seeing Janet

01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:38.929
Jackson's nipple. Daddy! median for an interview

01:03:38.929 --> 01:03:41.849
in an April 22nd episode of Live with Kelly and

01:03:41.849 --> 01:03:45.050
Mark. But Nikki may have sat down too confidently,

01:03:45.250 --> 01:03:47.570
letting her underwear peek through. Oh, yeah.

01:03:49.389 --> 01:03:53.150
Let's see the veg. There you go. Oh, wait. You

01:03:53.150 --> 01:03:56.150
can see your underpants. Oh. It's just for you.

01:03:56.369 --> 01:03:58.789
Yeah, I know. Oh, right down the barrel. Sorry.

01:03:58.989 --> 01:04:01.869
It's for you. And all the guys that bang because

01:04:01.869 --> 01:04:05.969
I'm in an open relationship. Mm -hmm. I love

01:04:05.969 --> 01:04:08.699
Nikki Glaser, though. Thinks she's so freaking

01:04:08.699 --> 01:04:12.420
hot. She is. She seems a little crazy, but in

01:04:12.420 --> 01:04:17.559
like a fun way. Mm -hmm. 856 -49 -HOPPY. That's

01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:26.340
856 -494 -6773. So I guess Al Pacino and his

01:04:26.340 --> 01:04:30.219
30 -year -old wife got into it. Mm -hmm. In public.

01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:33.079
Yeah. Literally old enough to be your great -grandpa.

01:04:33.460 --> 01:04:39.349
Your brother's streets. Bill Belichick and Jordan

01:04:39.349 --> 01:04:42.469
Hudson went to a play together. They're so insufferable.

01:04:42.849 --> 01:04:45.690
I feel like the bad coaching year he had for,

01:04:45.750 --> 01:04:47.710
what was it, UNC? I feel like that kind of shut

01:04:47.710 --> 01:04:52.309
him down a little bit. The Reagan shooter John

01:04:52.309 --> 01:04:54.590
Hinckley says that they need to shut down big

01:04:54.590 --> 01:05:00.630
events. You know things are bad when that moron

01:05:00.630 --> 01:05:06.889
is giving advice. Ben Stiller tweeted out, get

01:05:06.889 --> 01:05:09.909
it done, pretty much saying that you need to

01:05:09.909 --> 01:05:12.730
get Donald Trump shot. He's such a liberal twat.

01:05:12.789 --> 01:05:14.869
Like, listen, I don't like Trump. I think he's

01:05:14.869 --> 01:05:18.230
a scumbag. But I don't think someone should just

01:05:18.230 --> 01:05:22.670
die. Do I like the guy? No. He's an idiot. He's

01:05:22.670 --> 01:05:28.349
stupid. He's a moron. But there's that. I'm just

01:05:28.349 --> 01:05:30.170
trying to, like, kind of push off the news about

01:05:30.170 --> 01:05:32.110
Megan Thee Stallion. We'll get to her in a sec,

01:05:32.210 --> 01:05:36.280
I promise. Prince Harry slams a suggestion that

01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:38.420
he's no longer a member of the royal family.

01:05:43.420 --> 01:05:45.900
Six years after the Duke of Sussex and his wife,

01:05:45.940 --> 01:05:47.860
Meghan Markle, stepped back from their duties

01:05:47.860 --> 01:05:50.440
in the Royal family and relocated to California.

01:05:50.780 --> 01:05:55.099
They have to chase after their dreams of a failed

01:05:55.099 --> 01:06:00.380
podcast and a failed Netflix show. Was it worth

01:06:00.380 --> 01:06:02.900
it, bud? He is addressing critics who say he's

01:06:02.900 --> 01:06:05.900
no longer part of the legacy. Harry asserts in

01:06:05.900 --> 01:06:08.880
an April 24th interview with ITV News during

01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:11.920
a visit to Ukraine. I will always be part of

01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:14.280
the royal family. I'm here working and doing

01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:16.880
the very thing that I was born to do, and I enjoy

01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:19.480
doing it. Whatever. I bet you enjoy doing it,

01:06:19.519 --> 01:06:22.039
Megan. Hopefully it shows in your teeth. All

01:06:22.039 --> 01:06:24.679
right. Speaking of someone to pride us, here's

01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:29.840
Megan Thee Stallion news. Megan Thee Stallion

01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:32.199
and Klay Thompson are going their separate ways.

01:06:32.699 --> 01:06:34.960
Yeah, I mean, it ain't cool that it seems like

01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:38.400
Klay Thompson... stronger along, whatever. But

01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:40.480
her immediate thing of going on social media

01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:43.320
and slamming him, my ex did that. It's when they

01:06:43.320 --> 01:06:45.260
have nothing else. I'm not saying Megan Thee

01:06:45.260 --> 01:06:47.380
Stallion's not a famous rapper, but that's them

01:06:47.380 --> 01:06:50.139
trying to get ahead of the fact that they probably

01:06:50.139 --> 01:06:52.400
weren't innocent in the relationship. And it's

01:06:52.400 --> 01:06:56.800
always the man's fault. And by the way, you know,

01:06:56.840 --> 01:07:00.980
Tory Lanez is like, see, I told you. I told you

01:07:00.980 --> 01:07:05.150
she's annoying. Mm -hmm. I told you she never

01:07:05.150 --> 01:07:09.130
shuts up. She never does. She never shuts up.

01:07:10.070 --> 01:07:14.769
Mm -hmm. Yeah, she needs to keep talking. And

01:07:14.769 --> 01:07:19.929
her food's average. Mm -hmm. On April 25th, the

01:07:19.929 --> 01:07:22.170
rapper takes her Instagram stories to call out

01:07:22.170 --> 01:07:25.309
the NBA player for his alleged infidelity. Yeah,

01:07:25.309 --> 01:07:27.110
it didn't make sense because he's always in the

01:07:27.110 --> 01:07:29.849
snow bodies and, like, being underwater in San

01:07:29.849 --> 01:07:32.389
Francisco and being an aye -aye captain. And

01:07:32.389 --> 01:07:34.820
then he's dating this, like, Girl, this is not

01:07:34.820 --> 01:07:41.599
his type. And she deceives so high maintenance.

01:07:41.980 --> 01:07:44.880
The message reads, cheating had me around your

01:07:44.880 --> 01:07:47.960
whole family playing house on cold feet, holding

01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:49.860
you down through all of your horrible mood swings

01:07:49.860 --> 01:07:51.980
and treatment tours. See, that's what I'm talking

01:07:51.980 --> 01:07:55.000
about. I'm sure you never have mood swings, honey.

01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:59.199
You look like a walking Muslim. During your basketball

01:07:59.199 --> 01:08:02.199
season. Now you don't know if you can be monogamous.

01:08:02.380 --> 01:08:04.559
I don't think I could be monogamous with you

01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:08.260
either. You're a nine. You keep talking. I need

01:08:08.260 --> 01:08:11.019
a real break after this one. Yeah, you do. And

01:08:11.019 --> 01:08:12.940
then you'll be with the next guy tomorrow. The

01:08:12.940 --> 01:08:15.719
rapper also tells E! News in an April 25th statement,

01:08:16.020 --> 01:08:17.899
I've made the decision to end my relationship

01:08:17.899 --> 01:08:21.579
with Clay. Bye. Trust, fidelity, and respect

01:08:21.579 --> 01:08:23.979
are non -negotiable for me in a relationship.

01:08:24.340 --> 01:08:27.600
Even though you're known as a side chick. And

01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:31.140
now you're trying to rewrite the past. And when

01:08:31.140 --> 01:08:33.640
those values are compromised, there's no real

01:08:33.640 --> 01:08:37.399
path forward. All right. Whatever. Megan Thee

01:08:37.399 --> 01:08:40.880
Stallion gets emotional on stage after her breakup.

01:08:41.140 --> 01:08:43.359
Oh, yeah. I feel like because she has new music

01:08:43.359 --> 01:08:45.260
allegedly coming on. I feel like this is like

01:08:45.260 --> 01:08:49.079
an attention. Mm -hmm. Grab. They're confirming

01:08:49.079 --> 01:08:52.460
her split from NBA player Klay Thompson. The

01:08:52.460 --> 01:08:55.000
rapper has a tearful moment during her April

01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:58.100
25th performance of Moulin Rouge, the musical

01:08:58.100 --> 01:09:01.079
in New York City. Ah, it's the riveting stuff.

01:09:01.579 --> 01:09:03.899
I can't imagine an NBA player wants to go to

01:09:03.899 --> 01:09:07.029
your place. seen in a social media video the

01:09:07.029 --> 01:09:09.890
grammy winner who plays ziddler tears up during

01:09:09.890 --> 01:09:12.489
the curtain call before turning her back to the

01:09:12.489 --> 01:09:14.970
audience oh yeah show your ass that's what you're

01:09:14.970 --> 01:09:18.189
famous for wipe away tears as the applause grows

01:09:18.189 --> 01:09:21.430
louder all right there you go why are you having

01:09:21.430 --> 01:09:24.210
stuff clay you're probably better off but you

01:09:24.210 --> 01:09:41.979
gotta not string women along RyanHoppyRadio .com

01:09:41.979 --> 01:09:44.340
Hoppy Hour will be right back. You probably had

01:09:44.340 --> 01:09:47.399
Taco Bell before. Whenever we're going outside,

01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:53.319
all I smell is poop. And we'll call it a day.

01:09:54.659 --> 01:09:58.000
The semen was so big. As a reminder, if you don't

01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:00.340
feel like listening to this next song, you can

01:10:00.340 --> 01:10:03.119
skip over it. But Ryan Hoppy of Hoppy Hour takes

01:10:03.119 --> 01:10:05.560
pride in his selection, so stick around, folks.

01:10:07.300 --> 01:10:12.039
Don't worry. All right, so I'm going to upload

01:10:12.039 --> 01:10:14.359
this as its own individual episode, but also

01:10:14.359 --> 01:10:17.000
for my affiliates. I already posted it the other

01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:19.420
day, but here is my interview with Pete Kostanis

01:10:19.420 --> 01:10:51.710
from a year ago. Love you, bro. This is Pete

01:10:51.710 --> 01:10:54.630
Kostanis. What's up? This is Hoppy Hour. I am

01:10:54.630 --> 01:10:57.289
your host, Ryan Hoppy. And from the Vanished

01:10:57.289 --> 01:11:00.729
Chicagoland online brand and the Vanished Chicago

01:11:00.729 --> 01:11:05.789
Stories, the podcast, the one and only Pete Kostanis

01:11:05.789 --> 01:11:09.489
is on Hoppy Hour. What's up, my man? I'm doing

01:11:09.489 --> 01:11:12.920
great. How about you? I'm doing great, man. I

01:11:12.920 --> 01:11:16.060
find you absolutely fascinating, Pete. I grew

01:11:16.060 --> 01:11:19.640
up in Chicago from 1993 to 2014. Then I moved

01:11:19.640 --> 01:11:22.600
to Cleveland briefly, and then I moved to Tampa,

01:11:22.600 --> 01:11:25.119
and I've been here 10 years. And I miss the city,

01:11:25.199 --> 01:11:28.020
but I don't. But I always love following Chicago

01:11:28.020 --> 01:11:31.199
pages that kind of remind me why I got into radio

01:11:31.199 --> 01:11:34.119
and podcasting. And I looked something up about

01:11:34.119 --> 01:11:36.920
97 .9 The Loop, and you shared some post about

01:11:36.920 --> 01:11:39.359
two, three years ago, and I followed your page.

01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:42.989
And I absolutely love, Pete, how you're keeping

01:11:42.989 --> 01:11:46.250
the Vanished Chicago memories that we have, the

01:11:46.250 --> 01:11:48.550
Vanished Chicagoland memories, you are keeping

01:11:48.550 --> 01:11:52.449
them alive. Oh, yes. I'm still doing this every

01:11:52.449 --> 01:11:55.930
day. People love it. I'm getting a lot of praise

01:11:55.930 --> 01:11:59.689
and getting a lot of followers, of course. It's

01:11:59.689 --> 01:12:03.819
my passion. I love doing it every day. So what

01:12:03.819 --> 01:12:06.000
was the process? Obviously, you can go to pages

01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:08.500
on Facebook and just create a Facebook page,

01:12:08.640 --> 01:12:11.720
but what was the process of just how did this

01:12:11.720 --> 01:12:14.920
brand explode so fast, or did it take time, or

01:12:14.920 --> 01:12:19.079
what was the whole process? Okay, well, I'll

01:12:19.079 --> 01:12:21.479
start at the beginning. One day I was searching

01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:24.819
through Facebook, and I noticed there was a business

01:12:24.819 --> 01:12:27.340
page, and it was called Dispensers Castle of

01:12:27.340 --> 01:12:32.060
Toys. I don't know if you remember that. Oprah

01:12:32.060 --> 01:12:35.920
Harris. And I look at it and I say, well, why

01:12:35.920 --> 01:12:39.119
is there a business page when it's out of business?

01:12:39.439 --> 01:12:42.180
You know, I think it was a tribute page. So I

01:12:42.180 --> 01:12:45.380
thought to myself, why don't I do something like

01:12:45.380 --> 01:12:48.399
that and celebrate all businesses that are gone?

01:12:48.840 --> 01:12:52.560
So I started, it was first called Chicago Extreme

01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:55.460
Businesses. So I started slowly and surely for

01:12:55.460 --> 01:12:58.699
a couple of years. And then someone reached out

01:12:58.699 --> 01:13:01.920
to me. It was from a local newspaper. And asked

01:13:01.920 --> 01:13:03.899
me, I'd like to do an interview with you. And

01:13:03.899 --> 01:13:06.859
I said, okay. And then so he interviewed me.

01:13:06.899 --> 01:13:10.260
And then he published the interview online. And

01:13:10.260 --> 01:13:12.479
then that's when it took off. And I had like

01:13:12.479 --> 01:13:18.220
about 32 ,000 likes in one day. Damn. Yeah, I

01:13:18.220 --> 01:13:22.100
know. I was like, wait a minute. Wow. And then

01:13:22.100 --> 01:13:26.380
that was my moment of being famous. for that.

01:13:26.579 --> 01:13:29.420
And then I've been interviewed on radio, interviewed

01:13:29.420 --> 01:13:32.180
on newspapers. I haven't been on TV yet. Not

01:13:32.180 --> 01:13:36.680
so far. Not yet. So now people associate with

01:13:36.680 --> 01:13:39.199
me with that. And it's been like that ever since.

01:13:39.380 --> 01:13:41.720
And it gets popular and popular and popular.

01:13:42.340 --> 01:13:46.000
And I still receive texts and emails from people.

01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:48.899
Can you please find me this? Can you post this

01:13:48.899 --> 01:13:52.060
for me? I get a lot of requests every day. That's

01:13:52.060 --> 01:13:54.659
the majority of my day of answering that. And

01:13:54.659 --> 01:13:59.180
then the media took notice, and they love it,

01:13:59.199 --> 01:14:03.460
and it's wonderful. And let's see, what else?

01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:10.260
So I created a group, too. So right now I have

01:14:10.260 --> 01:14:15.279
about almost 240 ,000 members. And it's still

01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:18.359
growing. So what are some of the radio shows

01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:23.659
you've been on? I've been on WGN Radio, WBZ,

01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:27.359
WBBM. Yeah, I've been to three of those. I'm

01:14:27.359 --> 01:14:30.000
trying to think. There must be one more. Oh,

01:14:30.060 --> 01:14:33.699
I was on The Loop. With Mancow. How was that?

01:14:33.859 --> 01:14:37.159
I grew up loving that guy, and I've DM'd him,

01:14:37.180 --> 01:14:39.560
and he's a fascinating cat. Not everybody likes

01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:42.800
him, but what was your experience with him? He

01:14:42.800 --> 01:14:46.100
was very quiet, and he liked me. I didn't talk

01:14:46.100 --> 01:14:51.779
to him much. But he was very interested, so that

01:14:51.779 --> 01:14:53.560
was good. As long as I was on the show with him,

01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:55.840
that was great. That was a very interesting experience

01:14:55.840 --> 01:14:59.579
for me. What did he have? Did he have women there?

01:14:59.699 --> 01:15:03.880
Because he's always got seven guests on. He had

01:15:03.880 --> 01:15:08.979
a few men. There was one girl there. Her name

01:15:08.979 --> 01:15:11.539
was Kathy. Oh, Kathy's awesome. Yeah, Kathy the

01:15:11.539 --> 01:15:16.880
Greek. Yeah, she's the one who contacted me and

01:15:16.880 --> 01:15:19.699
asked me to appear. Yeah, she's very sweet. Very

01:15:19.699 --> 01:15:23.380
sweet person. And so, yeah, so that was my experience

01:15:23.380 --> 01:15:27.880
for Mancow. And I've done an interview on the

01:15:27.880 --> 01:15:30.579
radio throughout the years, maybe once a year,

01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:34.720
maybe once or twice a year. And I had newspaper

01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:37.760
articles. I had one from the Sun -Times about

01:15:37.760 --> 01:15:43.460
a couple years ago. And magazines. Yeah, I was

01:15:43.460 --> 01:15:47.119
interviewed by Chicago Magazine. Very nice. Yeah,

01:15:47.180 --> 01:15:50.920
that was very good. And it's amazing, you know,

01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:54.479
because a lot of people, you know, they love

01:15:54.479 --> 01:15:57.279
the page. They love that. And also, you know,

01:15:57.279 --> 01:16:00.180
they're also concerned about my health and what's

01:16:00.180 --> 01:16:03.819
going on. So that's, I get a lot of support.

01:16:04.479 --> 01:16:07.479
That's got to be awesome because I always feel

01:16:07.479 --> 01:16:10.640
like when you're facing cancer, why not be positive?

01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:15.359
You know what I mean? Yes. Because I caught it

01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:19.760
early. And I always tell people, mostly men,

01:16:19.960 --> 01:16:22.279
because it's prostate cancer, please go see,

01:16:22.380 --> 01:16:24.979
if there's something wrong with you, if there's

01:16:24.979 --> 01:16:27.560
nothing right, please go see a doctor. It'll

01:16:27.560 --> 01:16:31.340
save your life. And some men are stubborn, but

01:16:31.340 --> 01:16:35.979
some do. And they thank me for that. You know,

01:16:36.020 --> 01:16:38.899
it's very touching. You know, it's almost the

01:16:38.899 --> 01:16:41.479
tears, you know, they tell me that, yeah. Well,

01:16:41.500 --> 01:16:44.159
what you said, you know, that you're very inspiring

01:16:44.159 --> 01:16:50.220
to do that. Now, growing up, for example, I interviewed

01:16:50.220 --> 01:16:53.600
Mark Giancarlo last year, and he said that Chicago

01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:57.880
radio and TV was like the Hollywood of Los Angeles.

01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:00.460
So everybody knew all the anchors. Everybody

01:17:00.460 --> 01:17:02.699
knew all the radio hosts. And I feel like it's

01:17:02.699 --> 01:17:05.539
not the same as it was back in the day. Who were

01:17:05.539 --> 01:17:08.739
some of your favorite TV and radio people from

01:17:08.739 --> 01:17:13.659
Chicago? When I was growing up, I liked Bob Surratt

01:17:13.659 --> 01:17:19.380
and John Landecker and people else. You know,

01:17:19.439 --> 01:17:23.399
there's so many. As a matter of fact, Bob Surratt

01:17:23.399 --> 01:17:27.800
knows what I'm doing. That's kind of cool. Yeah,

01:17:27.819 --> 01:17:31.760
it is. But right now, the people that like me

01:17:31.760 --> 01:17:36.100
a lot is the people from WGN TV. Yeah. Yeah,

01:17:36.100 --> 01:17:39.359
they like... They like what I do. And I do talk

01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:44.479
to them from time to time. You know, and let's

01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:48.020
see who else. But mostly some from WLS, you know,

01:17:48.020 --> 01:17:49.920
Chicago, you know, television. Yeah, I talk to

01:17:49.920 --> 01:17:52.640
a few people like that. Channel 2, Channel 5,

01:17:52.680 --> 01:17:57.640
not much, not really. But whenever I post something

01:17:57.640 --> 01:18:01.260
on X or Facebook, they do see that and they reply

01:18:01.260 --> 01:18:04.770
or they like it. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, so

01:18:04.770 --> 01:18:08.810
all of them know who I am, what I do. And it's

01:18:08.810 --> 01:18:13.090
wonderful. I feel like I'm in this group of them.

01:18:13.149 --> 01:18:15.930
Do you understand? Oh, no, I get it. There is

01:18:15.930 --> 01:18:17.649
the saying, you don't want to meet your heroes.

01:18:17.869 --> 01:18:20.810
But the one exception for me is Eddie Volkman

01:18:20.810 --> 01:18:22.630
from the Eddie and Jobo show. I grew up listening

01:18:22.630 --> 01:18:25.829
to Eddie and Jobo. I can't specify enough how

01:18:25.829 --> 01:18:28.949
much I love the Eddie and Jobo show. And I sat

01:18:28.949 --> 01:18:31.770
in on Eddie Volkman's show at Star 96 .7 back

01:18:31.770 --> 01:18:35.310
in like August. And he's done some liners for

01:18:35.310 --> 01:18:37.960
me. And it's so cool. I bet you have the same

01:18:37.960 --> 01:18:40.560
feeling about Bob Surratt. It's so cool when

01:18:40.560 --> 01:18:43.779
you actually meet a hero that's like a big supporter

01:18:43.779 --> 01:18:47.239
and fan, you know? Oh yeah, it's great. And I

01:18:47.239 --> 01:18:51.199
do talk to Eddie on Facebook. He's great. I love

01:18:51.199 --> 01:18:54.199
Eddie. He is a wonderful man. Wonderful man indeed.

01:18:54.539 --> 01:18:56.840
Because I talk about his dad, you know, Harry

01:18:56.840 --> 01:19:00.560
Volkman. He did the weather. So Eddie, you know,

01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:02.079
sometimes he posts something and I say something

01:19:02.079 --> 01:19:07.439
funny. Yeah. And he starts laughing at me. Yeah,

01:19:07.460 --> 01:19:10.460
we communicate. You know, he's a wonderful man.

01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:12.659
He really is. He's a good guy. Where did you

01:19:12.659 --> 01:19:16.680
grow up in Chicago? Actually, I grew up in three

01:19:16.680 --> 01:19:19.180
neighborhoods in Chicago, on the south side.

01:19:19.260 --> 01:19:23.359
One was South Shore. I lived there when I was

01:19:23.359 --> 01:19:26.840
six. Then I moved to Roseland for five years

01:19:26.840 --> 01:19:30.680
because my dad owned a property there. We lived

01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:33.279
in an apartment building above a shoe store.

01:19:33.800 --> 01:19:36.619
And then in 1974, I moved to Ashburn, that's

01:19:36.619 --> 01:19:39.539
on the south side, and lived there for about

01:19:39.539 --> 01:19:45.619
25 years. And because I went to Bogan High School,

01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:49.300
you know, I went there. And then in 1995, I moved,

01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:52.600
and then I moved to Oklahoma. So I'm a suburbanite.

01:19:52.840 --> 01:19:55.180
I've been a suburbanite for, but most of my life,

01:19:55.180 --> 01:19:58.359
I've been a Chicagoan, a true Chicagoan. I've

01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:00.689
always been. I'm from. Arlington Heights. I went

01:20:00.689 --> 01:20:03.449
to Hersey High School, Thomas Middle School,

01:20:03.609 --> 01:20:06.810
Pat, and did you ever have any experience in

01:20:06.810 --> 01:20:10.350
the Heights? In Arlington Heights? Not really,

01:20:10.409 --> 01:20:14.550
but I used to work in Rolling Meadows. Oh, nice.

01:20:14.890 --> 01:20:17.409
Yeah, American Express Travel. I worked there

01:20:17.409 --> 01:20:21.149
for about 12 years. And I did, you know, Arlington

01:20:21.149 --> 01:20:25.449
Heights is nearby, you know. And so, yeah, I'm

01:20:25.449 --> 01:20:27.970
very familiar with the area. So that was the

01:20:27.970 --> 01:20:30.449
best job I ever had. And I worked as a ticketer.

01:20:30.529 --> 01:20:34.649
I issued tickets. And I still miss the job to

01:20:34.649 --> 01:20:39.369
this day. I really miss it. You know what's one

01:20:39.369 --> 01:20:42.350
thing that is the biggest difference about Florida

01:20:42.350 --> 01:20:46.060
and Illinois? Like let's say when Dominic's went

01:20:46.060 --> 01:20:48.380
out of business in 2013 and they closed a lot

01:20:48.380 --> 01:20:51.779
of the stores in 04, the lot will remain empty

01:20:51.779 --> 01:20:54.920
for 20 years in Florida. Something gets picked

01:20:54.920 --> 01:20:57.100
up six months later. And that was the biggest

01:20:57.100 --> 01:20:59.319
thing I've noticed about the difference. I've

01:20:59.319 --> 01:21:02.340
always, I was always fascinated by dead malls.

01:21:02.340 --> 01:21:05.180
I loved Randhurst mall and I always loved like

01:21:05.180 --> 01:21:06.939
me and my friends, maybe we were smoking weed,

01:21:06.979 --> 01:21:09.100
but we would be hanging out in front of like

01:21:09.100 --> 01:21:13.119
the empty Dominic's in prospect Heights. It's

01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:15.159
something, you don't think about until you move,

01:21:15.180 --> 01:21:17.699
Pete, is there's a lot of empty lots in Illinois.

01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:22.319
It's just fascinating. Yeah, there is. Most of

01:21:22.319 --> 01:21:25.000
Dominic's have been replaced. I know a couple

01:21:25.000 --> 01:21:27.800
on the south side that haven't. So I don't know

01:21:27.800 --> 01:21:31.899
what's going on. But I miss the store. I really

01:21:31.899 --> 01:21:34.439
do. It was a great store. Dominic's Pizza was

01:21:34.439 --> 01:21:40.699
the absolute best. Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't think

01:21:40.699 --> 01:21:44.319
I ever had their pizza. I had Jules. It was $5.

01:21:44.819 --> 01:21:47.340
My mom couldn't afford like Domino's and that,

01:21:47.420 --> 01:21:49.100
so we would go there and I would get a fruit

01:21:49.100 --> 01:21:53.439
punch soda. It was the best. Oh, that's great.

01:21:53.619 --> 01:21:55.159
Yeah, that sounds good. That's a great memory.

01:21:55.560 --> 01:21:59.140
Oh, dude, phenomenal. The one thing I want to

01:21:59.140 --> 01:22:03.079
ask you. What's been the biggest difference in

01:22:03.079 --> 01:22:05.119
Chicago from when you were growing up to now?

01:22:05.300 --> 01:22:08.079
Obviously, I think the crime has gotten worse,

01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:10.840
but what's the big difference you notice in the

01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:18.060
city? It keeps changing. You know, businesses

01:22:18.060 --> 01:22:24.979
come and go. They really do. You know, department

01:22:24.979 --> 01:22:27.760
stores are gone, mostly, you know, downtown,

01:22:27.899 --> 01:22:30.039
which is a shame. You know, like Marshall Fields

01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:35.460
and Carson's. What's the other one? Like, top

01:22:35.460 --> 01:22:38.100
of my head. There was Litton's and all that.

01:22:38.199 --> 01:22:39.859
Sears? And then, of course, yeah, there was,

01:22:39.880 --> 01:22:43.619
yes, of course, there was Sears. And then we

01:22:43.619 --> 01:22:45.739
had the other stores, like the discount stores,

01:22:45.840 --> 01:22:50.680
like Zare, Venture. Now we have Target and Walmart.

01:22:51.340 --> 01:22:55.060
But we had those when I was a kid and they were

01:22:55.060 --> 01:23:00.100
great stores. So it evolves. Everything evolves

01:23:00.100 --> 01:23:04.079
like that. And, you know, but there are some

01:23:04.079 --> 01:23:07.600
most people want some of the stores back, especially

01:23:07.600 --> 01:23:10.579
Marshall Fields. They want it back. They want

01:23:10.579 --> 01:23:14.359
it back so badly. I do, too. But we don't know

01:23:14.359 --> 01:23:18.939
if it is going to come back because whoever runs

01:23:18.939 --> 01:23:23.250
the store is stubborn. But I have a feeling once

01:23:23.250 --> 01:23:26.970
we bring back the name, it'll be wonderful. It'll

01:23:26.970 --> 01:23:29.970
be awesome. People will come back because they

01:23:29.970 --> 01:23:34.000
miss it. And I miss it too. So we'll see. What

01:23:34.000 --> 01:23:37.119
did you think of Sears? I'm not going to say

01:23:37.119 --> 01:23:38.760
which family member because it's easy to find

01:23:38.760 --> 01:23:41.020
online, but I have a family member that was the

01:23:41.020 --> 01:23:43.100
head executive for like the Midwest branch of

01:23:43.100 --> 01:23:46.359
Sears. And I remember around 05, 06 when I was

01:23:46.359 --> 01:23:48.680
really beginning to pick up memories, she was

01:23:48.680 --> 01:23:51.060
always concerned because Amazon was coming around

01:23:51.060 --> 01:23:54.760
and just kind of doing its thing. What did you

01:23:54.760 --> 01:23:57.039
think of Sears and its prime and what happened

01:23:57.039 --> 01:23:59.979
to it? Let's see what happened. You know, back

01:23:59.979 --> 01:24:03.239
in the old days, like the 50s and the 60s and

01:24:03.239 --> 01:24:06.560
maybe early 70s, it was a wonderful store. Their,

01:24:06.659 --> 01:24:09.699
you know, their management was great. You know,

01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:14.739
customer service was so top notch. And then it

01:24:14.739 --> 01:24:19.100
just all of a sudden just declined, you know,

01:24:19.119 --> 01:24:22.239
and then when you go to Sears before it closed,

01:24:22.359 --> 01:24:25.729
you couldn't find a salesperson, you know. And

01:24:25.729 --> 01:24:29.810
it was like, what the heck? So, and then, you

01:24:29.810 --> 01:24:31.710
know, but it's so nostalgic, you know, people

01:24:31.710 --> 01:24:34.449
miss, miss the store very much because whenever

01:24:34.449 --> 01:24:37.250
you need something, you go to, you go there.

01:24:37.609 --> 01:24:39.909
If you want a washing machine or you want to

01:24:39.909 --> 01:24:42.850
buy a Kenmore or a stove or refrigerator, boom,

01:24:42.989 --> 01:24:45.890
there it is. You pick it, you go and buy it and

01:24:45.890 --> 01:24:49.750
pick it up, you know, and it was always available.

01:24:50.250 --> 01:24:53.430
It was right there. It was accessible like that.

01:24:53.510 --> 01:24:59.659
And, but, Now it's gone, which is a shame, because

01:24:59.659 --> 01:25:05.279
they had the Tusken jeans, they had the die -hard

01:25:05.279 --> 01:25:10.619
batteries, you know, and, of course, those Sears

01:25:10.619 --> 01:25:12.960
wish books, they come out every year for Christmas.

01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:16.479
Oh, that was awesome, you know. But I do post

01:25:16.479 --> 01:25:20.909
now and then, you know, about Sears stuff. because

01:25:20.909 --> 01:25:24.489
the last one closed in Woodfield, in Schaumburg.

01:25:24.590 --> 01:25:27.449
That was the way I got into Woodfield, was either

01:25:27.449 --> 01:25:32.189
that or Carson's. Yes. Carson's was a great store.

01:25:32.569 --> 01:25:37.270
Very good store. It was a little less expensive

01:25:37.270 --> 01:25:41.449
than Marshall Fields, but their quality was wonderful.

01:25:41.829 --> 01:25:46.090
It was top -notch. It was great. And like I said,

01:25:46.149 --> 01:25:48.189
if you need something at Carson's, you go right

01:25:48.189 --> 01:25:51.659
there. Pick it up, you know, buy it, take it

01:25:51.659 --> 01:25:55.220
home. That's how it was. I love deep dish pizza,

01:25:55.460 --> 01:25:59.000
but I'm more of a thin crust fan. What is your

01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:02.520
take on Chicago pizza? Oh, I like all pizza.

01:26:04.340 --> 01:26:06.899
Deep dish is fine, thin crust is fine. As a matter

01:26:06.899 --> 01:26:08.939
of fact, one of my favorites is Dietl and Nick's.

01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:11.960
That's on 85th and Pulaski in Chicago because

01:26:11.960 --> 01:26:14.180
I used to live in that old neighborhood. I went

01:26:14.180 --> 01:26:16.869
there maybe a couple of years ago. People flock

01:26:16.869 --> 01:26:20.430
there all the time because it's very unique.

01:26:20.630 --> 01:26:25.789
They don't accept cash. And it's something different.

01:26:25.869 --> 01:26:30.750
It's very good. But pizza, I love. It's thin

01:26:30.750 --> 01:26:35.109
crust, thick crust, deep dish, stuffed. I'm all

01:26:35.109 --> 01:26:38.890
for it. My favorite toppings is just sausage

01:26:38.890 --> 01:26:45.109
and pepperoni. Oh, you don't like fruit? No fruit?

01:26:46.450 --> 01:26:48.350
Fruit on the pizza? You mean like pineapple?

01:26:48.609 --> 01:26:52.710
Yeah, yeah. I tried it once, but you know, it

01:26:52.710 --> 01:26:55.609
tastes strange, but you know, I have an open

01:26:55.609 --> 01:26:58.770
mind. I'd like to try it again. It's not bad,

01:26:58.909 --> 01:27:01.909
but I'm not going, like I've had pineapple pizza

01:27:01.909 --> 01:27:04.329
be dropped off in my radio jobs over the years

01:27:04.329 --> 01:27:06.649
and it's like edible, but I would never order

01:27:06.649 --> 01:27:11.810
it. You know what I mean? I think so. You know,

01:27:11.890 --> 01:27:16.479
but I'll try it someday. We have some good pizza

01:27:16.479 --> 01:27:20.859
places, especially near my house. You can't find

01:27:20.859 --> 01:27:23.260
it anywhere else. Yeah. What are your favorite

01:27:23.260 --> 01:27:27.539
memories of Chicago sports over the years? Well,

01:27:27.619 --> 01:27:30.340
sports, I'm not much of a sports fan. Oh, really?

01:27:31.180 --> 01:27:34.819
Not really. But when I go to a game, like, for

01:27:34.819 --> 01:27:38.140
example, I've been to a Hawks game, and I've

01:27:38.140 --> 01:27:41.840
been to the Cubs. And if you're there, the experience

01:27:41.840 --> 01:27:46.659
of watching the game, is great. I love that.

01:27:46.779 --> 01:27:50.239
On TV, it's kind of dull. But when you're at

01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:53.840
the game with the crowds and you see the players,

01:27:54.119 --> 01:27:57.520
that's kind of exciting. That's very exciting.

01:27:57.659 --> 01:28:01.000
I had a good time there. I really did. It's not

01:28:01.000 --> 01:28:03.279
the same on TV because you have the announcers,

01:28:03.300 --> 01:28:06.020
they're talking, and they have the commercials

01:28:06.020 --> 01:28:09.260
and all that. But when you're at an actual game,

01:28:09.479 --> 01:28:11.680
it doesn't matter what sport, the Bulls, the

01:28:11.680 --> 01:28:15.770
Hawks, the Bears, There's nothing like it. There's

01:28:15.770 --> 01:28:19.689
nothing like it. I cannot ask a person who's

01:28:19.689 --> 01:28:22.550
from Chicago that grew up in the 70s, I cannot

01:28:22.550 --> 01:28:25.289
ask them and I cannot interview them without

01:28:25.289 --> 01:28:28.630
asking this. What was your experience with disco

01:28:28.630 --> 01:28:31.550
demolition? Were you at it? What's your experience

01:28:31.550 --> 01:28:35.689
with it? Well, here's the story. It happened

01:28:35.689 --> 01:28:40.630
in July 1979. The thing is, me and my family,

01:28:40.689 --> 01:28:44.130
we were in Greece. Oh, wow. On vacation. Wow.

01:28:44.250 --> 01:28:46.569
Yeah, we were in Greece, and I had no idea what

01:28:46.569 --> 01:28:50.510
was going on. But my brother received a letter

01:28:50.510 --> 01:28:53.310
from his friend in Greece and told him about

01:28:53.310 --> 01:28:57.930
it. And we had no idea. But when we came back,

01:28:57.930 --> 01:29:02.109
like, late August, my old neighborhood, everyone

01:29:02.109 --> 01:29:04.409
was talking about it, the kids in high school

01:29:04.409 --> 01:29:07.739
that I went. you know bogan they went to that

01:29:07.739 --> 01:29:10.260
and it was like they said you missed the biggest

01:29:10.260 --> 01:29:12.960
thing you were well how was i supposed to know

01:29:12.960 --> 01:29:15.479
my parent my mom wanted to go to greece and that's

01:29:15.479 --> 01:29:18.439
and i didn't want to go anyway but uh we did

01:29:18.439 --> 01:29:21.359
and we stayed for two months and so i missed

01:29:21.359 --> 01:29:23.420
the entire disco demolition and i talked about

01:29:23.420 --> 01:29:26.399
it on my podcast and i do post pictures of that

01:29:26.399 --> 01:29:29.699
yeah on the podcast i explained my experience

01:29:29.699 --> 01:29:34.279
of that i'm not knowing about it. And that was

01:29:34.279 --> 01:29:37.819
fascinating. So it's a shame I missed it. Now,

01:29:37.920 --> 01:29:40.760
I was born in 93, so I didn't get to hear the

01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:42.699
loop and it's hey day, but I've heard a lot of

01:29:42.699 --> 01:29:47.039
it online. But Jonathan Brand, Johnny B's second

01:29:47.039 --> 01:29:51.220
run on 97 .9 The Loop in 05 and when Dahl was

01:29:51.220 --> 01:29:55.720
on Jack FM and WCKG, both of those guys, dude,

01:29:55.819 --> 01:29:59.239
define radio for sure. Oh, that was great times.

01:29:59.380 --> 01:30:03.840
I listened to WCKG all the time. I listen to

01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:05.760
all radio stations, you know, when there's rock

01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:09.920
music. That's my favorite type of music. So when

01:30:09.920 --> 01:30:12.199
I was growing up, when I was in high school,

01:30:12.260 --> 01:30:16.560
we had The Loop, and we also had WMET. That was

01:30:16.560 --> 01:30:24.739
95 1⁄2 FM. And also WLS FM. V96, right? Yeah,

01:30:24.939 --> 01:30:29.239
I did listen to B -96 in the early 80s. And that

01:30:29.239 --> 01:30:32.119
was a fun time. That was a fun time. I loved

01:30:32.119 --> 01:30:34.399
that era. I used to listen to it all the time.

01:30:34.520 --> 01:30:39.840
Because music was changing. And I was there when

01:30:39.840 --> 01:30:44.239
WLSFM turned into WDAI and it turned into the

01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:48.109
Disco Station. Yeah. And then it went back to

01:30:48.109 --> 01:30:50.970
rock about a couple years later. So I was there

01:30:50.970 --> 01:30:53.369
when I listened to all of that. You know what

01:30:53.369 --> 01:30:57.050
I've heard about? Z -95 is what I've heard about

01:30:57.050 --> 01:31:02.109
too. Yes. I did listen to that. I really did.

01:31:02.270 --> 01:31:05.989
It wasn't very long, but yeah. I remember that

01:31:05.989 --> 01:31:08.529
very well well from what I've read because I'm

01:31:08.529 --> 01:31:11.390
a huge like how you love the past about Chicago

01:31:11.390 --> 01:31:14.449
I love radio and Chicago radio so I've listened

01:31:14.449 --> 01:31:17.010
to a lot of stuff online and I believe it was

01:31:17.010 --> 01:31:20.050
his name was Jason Barsky came to Chicago and

01:31:20.050 --> 01:31:22.229
tried to take out Eddie and Jobo but that was

01:31:22.229 --> 01:31:24.390
kind of when Eddie and Jobo were first beginning

01:31:24.390 --> 01:31:27.739
because Eddie was doing mornings by himself for

01:31:27.739 --> 01:31:29.760
a few years, and he told me, and he said it on

01:31:29.760 --> 01:31:31.979
my show, and he told me in person, that having

01:31:31.979 --> 01:31:35.340
Jobo was the perfect kind of like, almost like

01:31:35.340 --> 01:31:38.859
devil to angel on your shoulder, because Eddie's

01:31:38.859 --> 01:31:42.119
a very clean cut, classy guy, and Jobo's a little

01:31:42.119 --> 01:31:46.140
more unpredictable, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I did

01:31:46.140 --> 01:31:48.300
listen to those guys. Actually, I'm friends with

01:31:48.300 --> 01:31:51.939
them. I'm friends with Jobo on Facebook. Jobo's

01:31:51.939 --> 01:31:57.020
hilarious. Amazon package of the day. I love

01:31:57.020 --> 01:31:59.819
it. Every day you get to see what Jobo bought

01:31:59.819 --> 01:32:03.260
on Amazon. And I love the comments. He never

01:32:03.260 --> 01:32:05.899
responds, but he'll post something to like troll

01:32:05.899 --> 01:32:08.819
people. And then like 70 Karens will be like

01:32:08.819 --> 01:32:13.500
Jobo. It's amazing. Oh, that is beautiful. Absolutely

01:32:13.500 --> 01:32:17.439
beautiful. Now in your whole lifetime, before

01:32:17.439 --> 01:32:19.420
I let you go, what is your absolute favorite

01:32:19.420 --> 01:32:24.359
thing about Chicago? My favorite absolutely thing,

01:32:24.699 --> 01:32:31.619
you know, this is kind of strange because, you

01:32:31.619 --> 01:32:34.039
know, I have the page. I love doing that. That's

01:32:34.039 --> 01:32:38.119
my passion. But, you know, every year, you see,

01:32:38.159 --> 01:32:40.260
I'm a comic book fan. Yeah. A huge comic book

01:32:40.260 --> 01:32:43.520
fan. And I go to, what's it called, Fan Expo

01:32:43.520 --> 01:32:47.479
in Rosemont every August. Oh, nice. Yeah. I go

01:32:47.479 --> 01:32:49.939
every year. I've been doing that for almost 30

01:32:49.939 --> 01:32:53.090
years. I'm going there. I just love it because

01:32:53.090 --> 01:32:56.350
it's a great place to escape, you know, look

01:32:56.350 --> 01:32:58.649
at comics. They have celebrities there. It's

01:32:58.649 --> 01:33:01.909
like my Disneyland there. That's what it is.

01:33:02.430 --> 01:33:05.310
And, you know, I'm 61 years old. I'm still doing

01:33:05.310 --> 01:33:07.590
this stuff, you know, but I enjoy it. I really

01:33:07.590 --> 01:33:11.649
do because I'm a huge fan of that. And, you know,

01:33:11.689 --> 01:33:14.489
other things like in Chicago, you know, we have

01:33:14.489 --> 01:33:17.149
so much culture. There's so many beautiful things

01:33:17.149 --> 01:33:20.539
to see, so many things to learn. That's what's

01:33:20.539 --> 01:33:24.680
great about that. And you meet the people. The

01:33:24.680 --> 01:33:27.000
people are wonderful. They really are. Now, before

01:33:27.000 --> 01:33:29.680
I let you go, do a quick plug. Tell everybody

01:33:29.680 --> 01:33:35.300
about everything you're up to. Okay. I run the

01:33:35.300 --> 01:33:37.539
page. It's called Van Chicago Land. I also have

01:33:37.539 --> 01:33:41.500
a group, the same name. I also have a podcast.

01:33:41.600 --> 01:33:44.100
It's called Van Chicago Land Stories, the podcast.

01:33:45.000 --> 01:33:50.279
You can find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon

01:33:50.279 --> 01:33:54.020
Music, any app that has podcasts. I also have

01:33:54.020 --> 01:33:58.140
a YouTube channel. You can find a podcast as

01:33:58.140 --> 01:34:01.439
well. You can do a search. I say this every time

01:34:01.439 --> 01:34:03.560
I do a podcast. I tell them where you can find

01:34:03.560 --> 01:34:05.619
them, where you can find the podcast. You can

01:34:05.619 --> 01:34:08.579
listen anywhere, on your phone, your desktop,

01:34:08.859 --> 01:34:14.619
your car, any place. So that's what I do. Well,

01:34:14.619 --> 01:34:16.619
Pete, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you,

01:34:16.699 --> 01:34:19.300
but it's been a lot of fun having you on the

01:34:19.300 --> 01:34:23.899
show. I'm coming to Chicago in May for my, I

01:34:23.899 --> 01:34:27.119
can't believe it, my 2007 born cousin is graduating

01:34:27.119 --> 01:34:30.039
high school. So I decided I had like a free plane

01:34:30.039 --> 01:34:32.579
ticket kind of deal to like fly out. And I was

01:34:32.579 --> 01:34:34.460
like, why not fly out for that? So I'm going

01:34:34.460 --> 01:34:37.800
to be in Chicago for my cousin's high school

01:34:37.800 --> 01:34:39.619
graduation. So if you're free, I would love to

01:34:39.619 --> 01:34:42.380
get coffee and meet you. Oh, that'd be wonderful.

01:34:42.640 --> 01:34:44.520
Yeah, that'd be great. We can get together. We

01:34:44.520 --> 01:34:47.380
can talk. You know, that'd be awesome. I will

01:34:47.380 --> 01:34:49.680
definitely hit you up. Pete, it's been a lot

01:34:49.680 --> 01:34:52.039
of fun having you on the show and thank you for

01:34:52.039 --> 01:34:53.939
everything you've done for the city of Chicago

01:34:53.939 --> 01:34:56.460
because it's very hard. It's called Vanished

01:34:56.460 --> 01:34:58.779
Chicagoland for the right reason. It's sometimes

01:34:58.779 --> 01:35:00.960
hard to find the memories, but when you see it

01:35:00.960 --> 01:35:02.899
on Facebook, you're like, you kind of get that

01:35:02.899 --> 01:35:07.439
like dopamine hit. Oh, I've never heard it that

01:35:07.439 --> 01:35:12.560
way before, but thank you. I appreciate that.

01:35:12.720 --> 01:35:16.659
I really do. It's a wonderful thing. I just love

01:35:16.659 --> 01:35:19.460
doing it. Pete, keep up the good work. Thank

01:35:19.460 --> 01:35:21.739
you for calling into Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy.

01:35:22.460 --> 01:35:24.479
Oh, well, thank you, Ryan. I enjoyed talking

01:35:24.479 --> 01:35:26.640
to you. All right. Have a great day, and I will

01:35:26.640 --> 01:35:30.560
see you in May. Okay. That's a date. All right.

01:35:30.560 --> 01:35:33.779
Sounds good. All right. See you, bro. Okay, Brian.

01:35:33.880 --> 01:35:37.890
Bye. And that was Pete Kostanis of the Vanished

01:35:37.890 --> 01:35:41.329
Chicagoland brand and Vanished Chicagoland Stories,

01:35:41.510 --> 01:35:43.590
the podcast, as he called it in the Hoppy era.

01:35:43.649 --> 01:35:46.970
Now, I grew up in Chicago from 1993 to 2014.

01:35:47.130 --> 01:35:49.409
I listened to, I was huge in the radio. I listened

01:35:49.409 --> 01:35:53.050
to Eddie and Jovo, Jonathan Brandmeier, Drex,

01:35:53.109 --> 01:35:58.189
Steve Dahl, Rover. Opie and Anthony, Roe and

01:35:58.189 --> 01:36:01.090
Gary. Can you tell I liked radio? So I interned

01:36:01.090 --> 01:36:03.729
at Dance Factory Radio and was on air with Lewis

01:36:03.729 --> 01:36:07.550
2 Live. Then I was on WNUR 89 .3 FM. I snuck

01:36:07.550 --> 01:36:10.750
into Northwestern University while going to the

01:36:10.750 --> 01:36:13.149
Illinois Media School, which is great. Then I

01:36:13.149 --> 01:36:18.130
was on WHCM 88 .3 Harper College Radio. And I

01:36:18.130 --> 01:36:20.109
also interned with Steve Dahl, who is the GOAT.

01:36:20.250 --> 01:36:22.210
So here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen, boys

01:36:22.210 --> 01:36:24.930
and girls, is my show is billed for you, Chicago.

01:36:25.229 --> 01:36:27.609
I have two versions. One where I do radio interviews

01:36:27.609 --> 01:36:30.829
and talk to people like P and I've interviewed

01:36:30.829 --> 01:36:34.369
Mark Giniograko. I have a whole archive of it.

01:36:34.609 --> 01:36:36.850
So here's the deal. Go to every single major

01:36:36.850 --> 01:36:39.489
platform that has a podcast and search up Hoppy

01:36:39.489 --> 01:36:44.310
Radio. H -O -P -P -E Radio. And I'm on all social

01:36:44.310 --> 01:36:47.270
media at Ryan Hoppy Radio. This has been Hoppy

01:36:47.270 --> 01:36:50.149
Hour. I am your host, Ryan Hoppy. And I expect

01:36:50.149 --> 01:37:29.020
you to tune in, Chicago. They used to harbor

01:37:29.020 --> 01:37:31.979
it here. We think this is ours. It could be worse,

01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:36.279
though. At least we're not Detroit. We're not

01:37:36.279 --> 01:37:39.199
Detroit. We don't have this. We keep people from

01:37:39.199 --> 01:37:41.020
looking at their own lives and realizing how

01:37:41.020 --> 01:37:43.960
bad they've actually gotten, you know? I mean,

01:37:44.119 --> 01:37:48.760
if you can get drunk and paint yourself orange

01:37:48.760 --> 01:37:52.479
and brown every Sunday, you might realize, I

01:37:52.479 --> 01:38:04.420
live in Cleveland. You're looking at your tiny

01:38:04.420 --> 01:38:06.000
little house that you can't afford because of

01:38:06.000 --> 01:38:08.020
the mortgage crisis and your horrible little

01:38:08.020 --> 01:38:10.100
floppy kids who all have diabetes by the time

01:38:10.100 --> 01:38:11.640
they're eight because they live on corn syrup

01:38:11.640 --> 01:38:15.760
and lye. And then you look at your big bloated

01:38:15.760 --> 01:38:17.640
mess of a wife and she waddles over to you with

01:38:17.640 --> 01:38:19.760
her front butt spilling out over the top of her

01:38:19.760 --> 01:38:22.899
ass and she's like, I'm gonna go shoot myself.

01:38:38.119 --> 01:38:40.340
I mean, I never heard anybody say I'm going to

01:38:40.340 --> 01:44:00.039
Cleveland on vacation. You can skip over it.

01:44:00.159 --> 01:44:02.760
But Ryan Hoppy of Hoppy Hour takes pride in his

01:44:02.760 --> 01:44:47.680
selection, so stick around, folks. I belong to

01:44:47.680 --> 01:44:50.300
the office I put on. We don't ever ask for nothing

01:44:50.300 --> 01:44:52.619
cause them niggas got their own shit. Me and

01:44:52.619 --> 01:44:54.979
we feel like a mouth full of hot peppers. Black

01:44:54.979 --> 01:44:57.119
Ferrari with the red seats. I call it playing

01:44:57.119 --> 01:44:59.479
checkers. It's never doing versus. I'm forever

01:44:59.479 --> 01:45:01.500
giving lectures. If you're trying to leave with

01:45:01.500 --> 01:45:04.600
money, I'd be happy to connect ya. Life is better

01:45:04.600 --> 01:45:07.039
than it's ever been. Scheduling million dollar

01:45:07.039 --> 01:45:09.319
meetings with the president. Someone cut the

01:45:09.319 --> 01:45:12.119
lights on. Where is Thomas Edison? Got a new

01:45:12.119 --> 01:45:15.159
condo. Watch me as I settle in. I deserve an

01:45:15.159 --> 01:45:19.970

01:45:19.970 --> 01:45:22.510

I have a condition known as autism. That's right.

01:50:48.750 --> 01:50:52.250
It's a condition, not a disease. That is, autism

01:50:52.250 --> 01:50:54.890
can strike anyone, regardless of who they are.

01:50:55.229 --> 01:50:57.369
People with autism normally have difficulties

01:50:57.369 --> 01:50:59.869
in verbal and nonverbal communication skills,

01:51:00.189 --> 01:51:02.409

is Henry Oaks, but my buddies may have known

01:58:44.359 --> 01:58:47.560
me as Hammer Hank. I was labeled as slow when

01:58:47.560 --> 01:58:49.939
I started school. Come to find out at the age

01:58:49.939 --> 01:58:53.380
of 12, the doctors decided I was autistic. Now

01:58:53.380 --> 01:58:55.939
at the age of 48, I have completed an associate's

01:58:55.939 --> 01:58:58.239
degree in radio broadcasting and worked in the

01:58:58.239 --> 01:59:00.880
San Francisco Bay Area as an on -air personality.

01:59:01.100 --> 01:59:38.590
So yes, I am different. We'll be right back.

02:00:04.140 --> 02:00:06.079
Eardrums mix and hop me like fingers without

02:00:06.079 --> 02:00:09.000
rings. D -H -X -F -M. Shadows hit the street.

02:00:09.119 --> 02:00:11.399
As soon as sound will vanish like shadows in

02:00:11.399 --> 02:00:40.270
the heat. It's like shadows in the heat. Oh,

02:00:40.329 --> 02:00:43.350
the happy hour is coming to a close. The radio

02:00:43.350 --> 02:00:46.250
waves fade in like a little rose. Laughter and

02:00:46.250 --> 02:00:49.350
joy dissolving in the air will keep the rhythm.

02:00:49.569 --> 02:00:56.329
Oh, life's just so unfair. Oh, life's just so

02:00:56.329 --> 02:01:04.409
unfair. Tunes in every night like clockwork to

02:01:04.409 --> 02:01:06.529
a show. Now it's time to face the silence like

02:01:06.529 --> 02:01:09.659
it's On Snow Riot Hoppy held the mic With humor

02:01:09.659 --> 02:01:12.420
so divine The void left in our hearts Wider than

02:01:12.420 --> 02:01:21.140
a canyon line LINE Empty speakers, silent eyes

02:01:21.140 --> 02:01:23.800
But coming to an end Like a roller coaster Stopping

02:01:23.800 --> 02:01:26.680
how the rivers bend Hoppy's jokes and backseats

02:01:26.680 --> 02:01:29.479
Our daily grind Now silence flowers And the thoughts

02:01:29.479 --> 02:02:51.310
