They they did have to go up a little bit for 2026 and D was very conflicted about it, but you know that's just the nature of of the economy these days. So, uh, it is fun Friday and we have our fun Friday question and this is something that has always fascinated me as someone who pays attention to language, the English language, somebody who listens to a lot of music and who is very heavily invested in the lyrics of music. And that's the idea of incorrect song lyrics. I want to know what song lyrics you got wrong. No shame, no embarrassment. I'm not going to be like, "How could you think that it was that?" Because listen, I'm not going to throw my ex-wife under the bus here. But she had some songs that I'd hear her singing in the car and I said, "Those aren't the words." And this was, you know, pre- internet when we started dating or, you know, early days of the we didn't have the internet or if we did, you know, you had to go home and log on to AOL and you had to remember to look it up. So, you know, it wasn't like I could just pull up the lyrics and show her like, see, this is what it is. So, you know, it definitely led to some arguments, good naturatured ones, but still. Uh, but that was, you know, what we would discuss because we were both like really into music. So, I'd be like, "Those aren't the words." And then I'd say what the right words are and she'd say, "It can't be that." Uh, and then, you know, unless you had the CD and the lyrics were printed in the little booklet, you were at an impass. In fact, uh for those of you who are old enough, you might remember that there was a time when certain songs on MTV, they would run the video with the lyrics scrolling on the bottom of the screen. They would have a a Chiron at the bottom of the screen that would have the lyrics for people that didn't know the words and couldn't figure out the words. I remember specifically them doing it for the song Informer by Snow because people like what did he say? Licky boom boom down. Like what? And then you saw it and you said, "Oh, that is what he said." I thought I was just hearing it wrong. So that was always kind of fun like when they would have to do that for certain songs. I think they did it for uh uh Even Flow by Pearl Jam too. I think I think I seem to remember that one being another one. They put the lyrics scrolling at the bottom of the screen. And that was before Yellow Lead Better was a song, although that there's not a video for that. That was during the time period when Pearl Jam wasn't making videos. But that's another one where when you read the lyrics, you're like, "Oh, that's that's what he's saying." But there's a lot of incorrect song lyrics that people just take for true. Some of them are silly, but then some of them if I say it, you're never going to hear the song correctly again. So, I just put up a little video on our social media. Uh, one, you know, one of the biggest ones is Elton John's Tiny Dancer. You know, hold me closer, Tiny Dancer. And people will say, hold me closer, Tony Danza. Uh, starships, we built this city on rock and roll. Apparently, some people hear it as we built this city on sausage rolls. I I I don't know how they could hear that, but okay. Uh Jimmyi Hendricks's Purple Haze. Instead of excuse me while I kiss the sky, it's excuse me while I kiss this guy. In fact, there was a book about misheard song lyrics, and that was the name of the book. Excuse me while I kiss this guy. And Abba's Dancing Queen. People hear it as kicking the dancing queen. and one of my favorites. And when I So I had the book and I had the the calendar, the excuse me while I kiss this guy calendar where they would give you a different misheard song lyric every day of the year. And the Manfred man one was one of the ones that my ex-wife used to think was the actual lyrics and would still sing it that way even when I told her it was wrong and laugh every time. But Blinded by the Light, you know that song written by Bruce Springsteen, popularized by Manfred Man where they sing uh cut loose like a deuce. Well, the Misheard song lyric is wrapped up like a douche. And she thought that that's what what the lyrics were. She thought it mentioned a douche and so she that's how she sang it. Uh, I bless the rains down in Africa people think that it was uh I saw the rain down in Africa and apparently the rain gets around because you know I can see clearly now the rain is gone. People think that was I can see clearly now Lraine has gone and uh Credence Clear Water Revivals. Have you ever seen the rain coming down on a sunny day? Well, have you ever seen Lorraine coming down on a sunny day? That's what these are actual misheard song lyrics. So, I'm interested in hearing what yours are. 5089960500. We'll play some of these songs at the morning. Uh 5089960500. App chat and open line voicemails both available on the WBSM app. But that's our fun Friday question brought to you by De's Hot Dogs where you know they don't care what lyrics you're singing to the songs. They just want to have fun. That's why we have fun Fridays here. 5089960500. So we could also talk more about that what we were discussing in the last hour, you know, the vacancy on the school committee and the I like the the narratives that some of the supporters for each of these candidates are pushing. Okay. The idea that well if Henry Buset wanted this seat, he should have ran for the school committee. Again, as I said in the last hour, perhaps he was motivated by the the death of his friend. As many of the folks who are candidates cited in their in their candidacy letter or their applicant letter, they mention Bruce Olivera, his dedication to the city, but especially to the schools uh since he was appointed to the school committee himself and that that they want to kind of live up to that legacy. They they kind of want to give some of themselves the same way Bruce gave himself so selfishly. They were inspired to do that by him. And then the other idea that, you know, because Marcus Coward was the next highest vote getter in the election but didn't make it, that he should somehow be given the seat automatically. And I I I don't know how you can think that that's a a a logical thing. And I've heard plenty of people say it, you know, and and they certainly make it sound like it's logical and reasonable when they say it, but when you look at it on its surface, it's it's not. He lost an election. The people did not choose him. And again, he could go through this process of this joint convention and get all the votes and that's that's great. Then that was a way to to to win this and that's the way that it was laid out. But just saying, "Well, you were the next person in the election." That doesn't work. If a city councelor has to step down or, god forbid, something happens to them, we're not going to just put Devin Burns in there. Although, I don't know. I say that that could be in the charter and I just don't know. I I don't know. But if something happens to Mayor Mitchell, there is a plan in place and they're working on finalizing the other two years. But they they don't just give it to Tyson Moltry because he was the next highest vote getter in the election. You know, it it it doesn't make sense to me that that would be the case. It doesn't mean that he can't be the person. I'm just saying that process doesn't make sense to me. 5089960500. Uh, also we did put up uh it's on our website now. It's on our Facebook page. We got a chance to see the Karen Reed movie that debuts tomorrow night on Lifetime. We got a chance to see it in advance. Nancy Hall watched the movie in its entirety and she had kind of a a Karen Reed weekend uh Karen Reed week rather because she put the article up yesterday about the SUV going up for auction with JJ Manning auctioneers. You heard Justin Manning on with Howie Carr the other day talking about it. Nancy, you got a chance to speak with Justin, get a little bit more information and there's some photos there of of what it looks like now. Of course, the tail lights have been repaired, the tail lights fixed, but the entertainment system, the electronic system, that's all still gone. So, they ripped all that out. So, you would have to put in a radio and a GPS and all that if you wanted to have it. But, trust me, as someone who had vehicles without a radio, you can get by without it. And I think whoever's buying this vehicle, whoever ends up winning this auction, they're not buying this Lexus SUV to drive around in it. It's going to be something that they they tour around in. They're going to they're going to bring places for people to take pictures. Uh, you know, the same reason people who own replica Deloreans from Back to the Future or they own the General Lee or any of the they don't drive them around every day. They bring them to conventions. And there are true crime conventions. You buy this Lexus SUV, you're going to make money bringing that to conventions. Now, that may mean you want to drive it to a convention. And it's only got 12,000 m on it, so it's not like you got to worry about putting miles on it, but you may put it on a flatbread. Uh flatbread. [laughter] Yeah. Make a little sandwich out of it. You may put it on a flatbed truck and, you know, bring it down there, too. But you can park that thing at one of these conventions, obviously, you know, arranged with the convention, but they they have you bring it you park it in like let's just say they do it at the at the Rhode Island Convention Center. They usually bring the vehicles inside in the like the lobby area. They have a way for you to be able to drive the vehicle in and park it there. I've seen, you know, the Ecto1 there and the Delorean there and all that stuff. And so you would park it there and then you might charge people 20 bucks to take a photo with Karen Reed's SUV. I know it sounds crazy, but people do it. And true crime artifacts generate huge buzz and huge interest. I did a a spooky South Coast probably 15 years ago on something called murderabilia. People collect memorabilia that has to do with murders. They want Jeffrey Dmer's glasses. They want, you know, the knife that Ed Gene used. They want all of these little pieces of of true crime history. It doesn't mean they're sick and twisted people. It just means that that's what draws them as collectors. I know somebody who had like a bunch of Manson artifacts, Charles Manson artifacts. I think the if you asked him what the prize of his collection was, he claims that he has a guitar that was one of Charles Manson's guitars. So there are people that that want to be proximity to these physical items involved in these cases. So, yeah, you could park that SUV at a true crime convention, charge 20 bucks a piece for people to take their photo sitting in it, and because people are kind of sick and twisted in in some cases, you're going to get the person that wants to pose, uh, all right, I'm going to stand in the back of the car holding a a martini glass, holding a cocktail glass in my hand, and I'm going to make it look like I'm getting hit by the car. Like, and then the person who owns it has to say, we're not doing that. That's disrespectful. I'm not going to let you do that. Or maybe they say, you know, whatever. That's it's your 20 bucks. If you want to put that up on the internet and and deal with the fallout, whatever. I don't know. Like, it depends on what the person says. Some of the people involved in some of these things might say, "Okay, well, that's going to be a hundred bucks if you want to do that photo." But still, you're going to get people that say that kind of stuff. But most of the time, people just want to be around a story that they were so invested in, they want a picture with something related to that. So, that would be my guess as to who's going to end up with it is somebody that's going to have it as a collectible and not because they're looking for a good deal on a Lexus SUV. You know, this isn't uh this isn't the def this isn't the Lutz family buying the DeFao home in Amityville where the whole family was killed. And they're saying, "Yeah, we know, you know, people were murdered in this house, but it's a great deal. Where else are you going to get a five- bedroomedroom house in Long Island for $80,000?" This isn't that. This isn't somebody being like, "Ah, you know, got a great deal on a car because it was involved in a murder trial." No, it's somebody who buys it because it was Karen Reed's Lexus. It's and it may be somebody who buys it because they want the money to go to Karen Reed because that's who is going to make the money off this this sale. So anyway, you can read about that at wbsm.com and on the WBSM app. And you can read Nancy Hall's review of Accused, the Karen Reed story. The movie comes out tomorrow on Lifetime, but uh she gives you a breakdown of what you can expect. It's a spoiler-free review. I can say that it sounds weird because of what are you going to spoil? Everybody knows how it turns out, but she doesn't really get into the intricacies of how some of how some things are portrayed. She just kind of talks about an overall sense of of the approach that was taken. So, check that out at wbsm.com and on the WBSM app. I got to take a break here. We will be back in a few moments. >> Starting your day the right [music] way with the Tim Weissberg Show. mornings on WBSM. [music] >> Honey, sweet, but it ain't [music] nothing to baby's treat. And if you [music] pardon me, I'd like to say we do okay forever in [music] blue jeans. Baby [music] tonight. Baby tonight [music] by the fire. >> And welcome back in. So that goes out to Taylor Cormier who says that he has a family member who always thought that forever in blue jeans was actually Reverend Blue Jeans. And I totally hear it now. I absolutely 100% can hear that. So that's that's a fair one, I would say, unless you know the title of the song already. Like that's that's certainly fair enough. And you got to think again, remember a lot of times people heard these songs for the first time when they didn't ever see the printed name of the song. They heard it on the radio and then, you know, later on they might go and pick up the 45 and say, "Oh, oh, that's what it's called." Oh. So, I don't I don't fault that. And besides, again, as I mentioned, unless they put the lyrics on the album liner notes, you probably didn't know what it was. You know, my music teacher in in middle school said that the reason why he was able to learn lyrics is cuz he would go buy song books. He played piano. He would go play he would buy the song books of the popular songs of the day and that would have the lyrics in there along with the music. So, as he was learning to play these songs, he learned what the lyrics were. He said, "You know, half of the stuff I was playing, I probably wouldn't have had the right words down, and I'm going out there and performing these songs, and people would have said, "What are you singing? That's not the That's not how it goes." So, I guess it's uh you know, I mean, if you got up and sang the wrong lyrics, maybe you could just tell people you were the new weird. You're you're making up your own words to the song. So, I was famous for that when I was a kid, actually into adulthood as well. Like, I would just make up new words to songs as a joke. My brother and I when we were working together at the diner, he would always be like, "Make one up to the song and we would just like goof around and they were never really like clever. They weren't weird at all level, but I could always come up with something." And then we used to have this weird thing that I would do where I would sing songs but invert the lyrics. Anyway, but that's today's fun Friday question. What song did you get the words wrong? 5089960500. You can put it on our WBSM Facebook page. You can put it on app chat. You can send an openline voicemail of you singing it and we'll play it on the air. But right now, we got to go into the newsroom and get the top stories of the day from Mike Roberts. On the other side of that, we'll have today's edition of the Gen X Files. Two people shot by agents [music] in Oregon. The House passing an extension of the Obamacare subsidies and President Trump speaks in support of AM radio. [music] From the Cottage Street Motors WBSM newsroom, this is WBSM News. Two people were shot by federal agents in Northeast Portland, Oregon yesterday. US Homeland Security says they were members of a Venezuelan gang. District Attorney Nathan Vasquez says that they're working with Portland police and the FBI on the investigation. >> We are here from the district attorney's office to monitor, to assist, and to make sure that there's a thorough and complete investigation. >> The FBI has taken sole control over the investigation into the deadly shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in Minnesota. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it was notified that it would no longer have access to the case material, seen evidence, or the investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation. After the shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Christy Gnome said the woman refused commands to get out of her vehicle and tried to harm the officer with her car. The House is passing legislation to extend expired Obamacare tax credits. The bipartisan vote passed 230 to 196 with 17 Republicans crossing the aisle to join every voting Democrat in support. A move which would extend the COVID enhanced affordable care act will now head to the Senate. It's a blow to Speaker Mike Johnson who has argued for weeks that the majority of the House Republicans were opposed. A former West Hollywood piano teacher who fled to Australia before his conviction for sexually abusing a teenage girl has been extradited back to the US. >> Prosecutors say 69year-old John Khalil was taken into custody on Thursday by sheriff's deputies at LAX. He's awaiting sentencing after a jury convicted him last October on four felony counts involving lewd acts on a child ages 14 or 15 and one count involving a child under the age of 14. The charges stem from abuse of a longtime student between 2011 and 2013, beginning when the victim was 13 years old. I'm Sharon Rearen. A manhunt is underway for the person or people who killed two people and injured six others outside of a church in Utah. Police say a funeral was taking place in Salt Lake City Wednesday when an altercation broke out in the parking lot and shots were fired at a group of people of those injured. Three are in critical condition. Vice President J. D. Vance is announcing a new assistant attorney general position whose sole job it will be investigating government fraud across the US. He's already got the backing of at least one Republican senator, Ted Cruz of Texas. >> I am very glad the Trump administration is leaning in, is tasking the Department of Justice with going uncovering the fraud, prosecuting the fraud. It's exactly what they should be doing. Vance told White House reporters yesterday the initial focus of the person will be to investigate the alleged Medicaid fraud in Minnesota and then moved nationwide. President Trump says he may take action soon on the AM radio for every vehicle act. While appearing on the Hugh Hewitt show, Trump said the act is very important and a lot of people don't know about it. The legislation would require all new passenger vehicles to have AM radio as standard equipment because it's crucial for emergency alerts when other communications systems fail. The act was introduced after electric automakers said they were eliminating it from all models, claiming the electric components interfere with the AM signal. The act has gained widespread bipartisan support as it lingers in Congress. I'm Jim RP. [music] >> WBSM Sports brought to you by John C. More Bruins [music] for Calgary won last night.

After frontman Freddy Mercury's death, the song re-entered the chart and [music] topped it for five weeks. One year later in the United States, Bohemian Raps City topped the Billboard Hot 100 thanks [music] to its use in the blockbuster film Wayne's World.

In 1984, on this date, Wendy's began airing the Where's the Beef commercials starring the late great [music] Count Clarapellar, I had a little pin on my school bag in kindergarten that said, "Where's the beef?" And to this day, I still don't know where it was. The beef, not the pin or that either. >> [music] >> In 1988, Whitney Houston scored her sixth consecutive [music] number one hit in the US with So Emotional.

Brought to you by Just Another Phoenix in [music] Dartmouth, where you can join the Just Another Star Club rewards program and where there's still time to get in some of their specials to help you be [music] more fit this year, like protein pancakes and the bodybuilder omelette. [music] All right, that was that was a fun one. I'm really excited, by the way, for that uh Malcolm in the Middle reunion. Life's still unfair, it's called. So, it's only four episodes and apparently the cast had a really great time filming them. But there was uh I saw an interview somewhere where they they had mentioned the possibility of it becoming a little bit more if this does well enough that you know the cast certainly would have no qualms about getting back together and making some more episodes. So, you know, maybe they do another four episodes somewhere down the line, but I think it'll be a lot of fun revisiting that family which Let's face it, you know, they've sometimes it was a little cringy and uncomfortable to watch that family. But now looking at what they've all done since, you know, of course Brian Cranson went on to become Walter White on Breaking Bad and uh Frankie Munz went on to become a race car driver. So life's life's a lot different, even if it is still unfair. All right, I got to get a break in here. 5089960500. You can call in to talk about whatever is on your mind. Or our fun Friday question today brought to you by De's Hot Dogs in New Bedford. What's a song where you got the words wrong? Some misheard song lyrics. We'll talk about some more coming up in just a bit. >> This portion of programming on WBSM brought to you by South Coast Health Advanced Medicine. More care. >> Hey, wake up weekday mornings with the Tim Weisberg Show. 14:20 a.m. and 995 FM. WBSM. A day late, [music] a run short and writing the report are losing and failing. When I move, I'm failing now. And it's happened [music] once again. I'll turn to a friend. So your stairs see through the master plan. But [music] everybody's gone. And I've been here for too long. The faces of my own. Well, I guess this is growing up. [music] Well, I guess >> and welcome back in. Thanks to my brother for pointing that out. I forgot about that. My my dad used to think that the the line in Blink182's Damn it that says uh I guess this is growing up. He thought my kid's sister's growing up was the the lyrics. So, there's another one. Yeah. 5089960500. That's our fun Friday question today. What are some songs that you got the lyrics wrong to? And uh you can call in, you can put them on our Facebook page, you can send them in via app chat and openline voicemails. We got some app chats coming in on it, so we'll get into those too. But that's our fun Friday question brought to you by DE's hot dogs. Let's go to the phone. 508996500. Good morning. You're on WBSM. Nope. Let me hit that again. There you go. There. Now you're on WBSM. >> Hello. >> Hello. You're on the air. >> Hey. Hi. Hi, Jim. How are you? >> Good. How you doing? Uh, I think when we were growing up, Generation X, uh, much better time. I think the, um, I don't think the music was the best of time, but the music was good for the time and a lot of people still listen to it. And, um, we were also exposed to stuff our parents watched. Like, if you asked a young kid now who John Wayne was, they'd be like, "Who?" I mean, we knew who John Wayne was, and he wasn't even our generation. So, I think we had a lot more knowledge to movies and actors. I think the movies were better. I think the music was better than today. Um, I I like to go back to the late 60s, early 70s as far as music goes, but I do think the the music in the 80s was better than what's around today. Well, but I mean, so so you say, you know, the kids today don't know who John Wayne was, but we did in the in the 80s. So, but do the kids of today, do they know, you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone the same way they know Jason Stathithm and, you know, Cano Reeves as John Wick? >> Uh, that's up in the I think it depends. Millennials know who they are. I don't know about this young upand cominging generation >> because I mean the the the the comparable thing to that to say that somebody growing up today doesn't know John Wayne that would be like asking you you know did you know all of the the cowboys that were in the movies of the 1930s and 40s you know because it that might have also been before your time. So you knew John Wayne cuz your parents grew up and showed it to you. Um but they didn't show you the stuff that came from before that. And same thing with young kids today. They might know Arnold Schwarzenegger say because their parents showed showed them his movies. So yeah, there's always going to be a gap. >> We also knew we also knew of some of the other actors that were big at one time were kind of fizzling out. I mean, Charles Bronson had had career had reemerged, so everybody knew who Charles Bronson was, but you had guys like Lee Marvin, um, Clint Walker, people like that that nobody would know who they are today and >> people knew who they were because >> I also I also think things have changed a little bit. So our generation, you know, we we turned on the TV and and we were just fed whatever was on the TV. So when you were home at night and you were watching the movie loft, you know, you were seeing Bridge on the River Quai. You So you were watching these things on on TV cuz there wasn't anything else to watch. And then we started to get cable and then we started to get VHS tapes and then we could actually decide what it was we were going to watch. And so then you become exposed to less things you wouldn't have found otherwise. >> Yeah. HBO. Hey, Deliverance. The first time I seen it was on HBO 1980 something that act that movie is actually a classic today. That's kind of like a cult classic you'd call it. >> Yeah. Well, and people always tell they ask me if I'm related to uh Eric Weisberg, who is the guy who did Dueling Banos. One of the guys that did Dueling Banjo. They're like, "Are you related to that guy?" I'm like, "Well, no. He has two S's in his name." >> I believe he just passed away. >> Oh, yeah. I'm not sure. But uh nobody g nobody invited me to the funeral if he did. >> But I just think I think too the movies when we growing up I'm not going to keep going on about this but I think the movies were much better when we were growing up. Um a lot of these movies now are short. Um they're not long like the older movies. They're not script it right or they remake a movie and they destroy it. >> I mean I think I just I just saw that Avengers Doomsday is going to be four hours long. So they're still making some movies long. >> Yeah. But I mean they destroyed Star Wars. I don't know if you think I know you're a Star Wars fan. So >> Yeah. I mean but that's that that happens. I mean, listen, you know, people that were Star Trek fans, they'll they'll nitpick some of the things they're doing with Star Trek, even though others will say it's the greatest Star Trek stuff they've ever put out is what's coming out in recent years. So, you know, it you're not going to please everybody. And it's not about pleasing everybody. It's about finding the next generation of fans. >> Quick question for you, then I'm going to let you go because I don't think people want to really hear, but it's kind of sickening. What's your opinion on the um ICE agent pew cubes? >> So I listen I don't see any reason to use deadly force and again you know the hopefully the investigation shows more now the FBI is saying they're not going to let state investigators uh let the state investigate it. Um but I looking at it to me I didn't see the need for for deadly force. Uh the agent was not struck. He was bumped and even then it was and I I keep hearing all these things like whoa he was actually hit and dragged by a car last year. So, you know, that's what was in his mind. Okay, but that still doesn't make it all right for you to pull out a gun and fire at somebody. You know, if you are beaten up and mugged by somebody, that doesn't mean that the next time somebody's following you on the street, you turn around and punch them in the face because you think they're going to beat you up and mug you. >> Yeah. And you wonder why, you know, all these gun owners get mad and stuff. They want to take stuff away. It's people like him that caused them to take people's rights away. >> Yeah. I mean, we'll we'll have to see what happens, but uh I know that, you know, they're they're trying to dig into some of this and and see if they can dispel some of the stuff that's been out there. One of the things is that she was taking part in those pro she was taking part in the the convoy that was following them around just before that happened. And everybody's like, "Well, how is that possible?" because she had just dropped her son off at school. So, >> and even if she was, does that give him the right to pew pew? >> Absolutely not. I got to I got to hold you there cuz I want to get another call in before the break. >> Okay, take care, sir. >> Have a good day. Let me get this one in here. Good morning. You're next on WBSM. >> Hey, good morning, Tim. How are you? >> Good. How you doing? >> Yeah, the last caller brings up a good point on um on movies and older movie stars. I mean, it it's it's always generational. We like you said, we you know, I don't know the stars from the 20s and 30s, but um I I remember watching movies with my parents. Uh I don't know if you remember the show, but in Channel 6 used to have a show called Dialing for Dollars. >> Loved it. Watched it every afternoon. >> Yeah. So, I did the same with my parents. And it sort of introduced me to uh some some older movies, some more contemporary movies, but um but now I uh actually I seek it out because uh Turner Classic Movies um I also get a channel called Friendly, which I mentioned to you a while ago, and that has two or three movie channels on it that have older curated movies. And um you know it's funny like uh Ralph Bellamy who everybody knows from Trading Places. He's one of the old rich guys at Trading Places, but he he was like in a hundred movies, you know, you know, and it's kind of funny when you see these uh actors, you see them as older popping up as a younger actor in a in an older movie. Uh but there there's like I'm not expecting any of the modern generation of kids unless it becomes a Tik Tok thing um to start to dive in and and and study old movies and and um you know uh you know follow stuff like that because it's it's not their not their genre. Number one is it's not their media. So they're not going to be on t watching TV number one. And number two is um they're not going to turn to that a Turner classic movie channel. But um there's a lot of great great great movies out there um besides the classics. Uh but yeah, you got to you got to kind of look for them, >> right? And why were you watching George Allen and Dialing for Dollars? Well, as you mentioned, I was with your parents, but why would somebody else watch it? Because they didn't want to watch the five or six other things that were on at the time as opposed to nowadays when you've got, you know, thousands of choices at any given moment. >> Right. Yeah. Nobody had a a cell phone or a tablet or computer back then. So, the only thing you had was, you know, the TV. So, >> and and I I did have a VCR, but where was I getting my movies from? I was taping them off the TV. So, unless they had no TV, I didn't have them, >> right? No, there's there's uh Yeah, I I understand what the caller is saying 100%, but you got to expect some generational uh slide uh because, you know, just because that's just the way it is. So, >> absolutely. All right. Thank you for the call. >> Take care. And uh I mean I was thinking as he was saying that you know seeing some of these older folks as uh in their younger versions. I remember, you know, as a kid in the 80s watching Cocoon and then you go back and you see like old movies with a young Donamichi, a young Hume Cronin and Jessica Tandy and you're like I guess everybody was young once. But uh I cannot think of Donami now and not think of the movie Folks which was was that is that Tom Celich where his dad got like wrapped up in his dad had like dementia or something and got like wrapped up in something and he kept saying McDonald's and they thought that it meant that he wanted to go to McDonald's but it turns out spoiler alert for a 40-year-old movie um he was actually trying to tell them that he had stock in McDonald Douglas and it saved their house or whatever it was I don't remember but it was it was always on HBO. So, I remember it and now I can't think of even if I see Donichi in an old movie where he's young, I'm like McDonald's. All right, so we can talk about that again. It's fun Friday. If you want to talk about the generational gap, we can do that. We're going to talk some more about misheard song lyrics. That's our fun Friday question brought to you by DE's Hot Dogs. What What are some song lyrics that you got wrong or that you find other people still got wrong? Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC. I when I was younger I thought it was Dirty Deeds Thunder Chief. I mean then I looked at the tape and saw oh the name of the song is Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. That must be what they're saying. So uh we just want some more examples like that. 5089960500 app chat or openline voicemails on the WBSM app or you can put it on our Facebook page under the real. All right. Uh got to take a break here though. We've got the news coming up. We'll get the top stories of the day from ABC and your South Coast News from Mike Roberts. And then on the other side, we can talk more about it.
