And we're back. Matt was going to tell us, bring us a little trip down memory lane and talk about some things from the past.
Speaker 2:Well, you got all these streaming servers and they're fantastic, but this goes back to the days of cable and satellite and all that good, happy stuff that you know, really know what is using anymore.
Speaker 1:Right, I cut the cord over 10 years ago now.
Speaker 2:I'm at 14 right now, good Lord.
Speaker 4:Oh, wow.
Speaker 2:I shocked it it's. It was pointless A point. I was not even using it for appointment TV, which is what it is. I was recording everything anyway.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, what were you using to record?
Speaker 2:I mean 14 years ago, or at that time when I cut the cord, I was using a Cox cable box.
Speaker 1:OK, oh, with the DVR built in, Correct.
Speaker 2:And. But in every room I had an actual branded Tivo oh the original DVR. I got Tivo when we were living in the ghetto and well you want to clarify that.
Speaker 1:We were on Cleveland Street. We used to live like a block from the keg. It was great and terrible all at the same time.
Speaker 3:But you said the original Tivo was a box, right, but the original Tivo was really VHS, so well yeah, yeah, tivo was the first ones to do it digitally and actually store it on a hard drive.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to remember if they had it before the cable company actually built, put it in their box, they did, they did. So, yeah, they think it was fit that happened.
Speaker 1:That's like Tesla with the, because I remember the old Tivo commercials mostly because I'm a night owl and they would come on at like three in the morning.
Speaker 5:Yeah the sound, the sound that.
Speaker 1:Tivo remote would make, and then I would immediately turn that off once I got a box and Matt over here would turn it up. Yes, we loved it.
Speaker 2:I loved it. It was fantastic. Sometimes I would go to Scott's house and I'd turn his back on and I wouldn't tell him.
Speaker 1:Dude. One time I bought one of Matt's old Tivos from him and I'm living in Lake Charles and I get home from work one day and like I'm looking through my you know I'm the wind down after work I go pull up the Tivo and I got say yes to the dress and all kind of other stuff record. I'm like what is going on. Well, turns out Matt's wife figured out that the account was still hooked up to there, so she went and said all these things to record for me.
Speaker 2:And that boys and girls is reason number four thousand one hundred and ninety two. Wyatt Juju is amazing.
Speaker 1:And the best part, they did what I do to. They didn't say anything.
Speaker 5:They didn't text me like how's your TV going?
Speaker 1:They just waited till I complained about it one day and they started giggling.
Speaker 3:That's hilarious. Or you could probably sit at home every night knowing that it's happening and you can. You can just laugh without you ever making the phone call, so on the other end they just laughing.
Speaker 1:They're probably laughing. They're probably laughing more. If I had been frustrated and not figured out, it was them. Well, I think it was.
Speaker 2:The second day is when you actually figured out wait, no, they set up season passes. Yeah, because he just thought we went and set to record a bunch of them. We set up season passes so record every single replay every every day.
Speaker 1:So we packed his Tivo in a day it was beautiful, it was so great, it made me laugh so much and I also lost some stuff because you filled up the hard drive. What can I say, man, I'm funny. And now we know, if people just we're just, I mean, does anybody?
Speaker 4:even do anything with our kids.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, I don't know who has a DBR?
Speaker 4:I'm not sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think there's a. For some odd reason, I remember seeing that there's a DVR function in.
Speaker 1:YouTube there is one in YouTube TV and TV.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so YouTube TV, you just click library or something like you, but you can just go back and watch it after the fact or whatever. I kind of like the not having to think about what I want to watch. Sometimes I go click through YouTube TV and say, oh yeah, I'll watch that right now. You know, it's that.
Speaker 5:you know, just the old school way we used to you turn on and it was on. Yeah, and that's what we watched.
Speaker 2:I get that because every once in a while, when I got to travel for work, I get that is like for probably the night. It's like OK, yeah, it's not every night thing, yeah. Now if I guys stay here two nights and I got to do that two nights in a row I'm a third remote at somebody.
Speaker 1:So even though I cut the cord, I never could get rid of that part of TV.
Speaker 2:Well, I still have a TV.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean I still have. When I cut it, I got a streaming service that acted like cable was PlayStation View at the time. Yeah, I think I tried Sleen TV and I've done Hulu and I have YouTube TV right now, mostly because of your Sunday ticket, but you remember, everybody freaked out whenever PlayStation View said we're tying your account to your IP address.
Speaker 2:Everybody flipped out.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Netflix and Hulu and everybody's doing the exact same thing. Yeah, and everybody's just like OK, and then back then.
Speaker 5:Cox wouldn't let you have PlayStation, playstation View. What they wouldn't let you have it, they blocked it. I had that part and I could not get PlayStation View. And they said yeah, that's about design, what they blocked it completely.
Speaker 2:Now the view I'm sure somebody sued him for that you can't do that. You can't block that Nice P level. That's illegal.
Speaker 1:They can throttle it to where it doesn't work.
Speaker 5:You can throttle it, but you can't block it, they would never connect.
Speaker 1:They did that to Netflix too, I think yeah.
Speaker 2:But now it's like they know they're losing that section of business. So it's like our internet access to these people is going to be our core business here on out.
Speaker 1:Now I don't know if it was a technology thing, but your right view didn't let me go travel at all. It was based off that IP address. The nicer thing about the newer services is that they do allow that. So once again, why do I have it? Live stuff, sports, of course, but also I know there's TV shows on. Like Matt, I'm not a binger. I like my weekly viewing.
Speaker 3:And there's some shows that I can't wait for them to come out.
Speaker 1:So actually with the DVR stuff, you can watch it the night it comes out and I wait till the day or two later when it comes out on their app, because they want you to watch the commercials. Good for them. Yeah, I don't Fast forward to them, I do like. I still say it I do the old TV days. I learned how to watch it an hour long show 20 minutes into it, so you could skip all the you start.
Speaker 2:you start between 717 and 19 minutes into the show and that's when you can start it and you were able to fast forward through every set of commercials. I think Craig is amazed that you're precision.
Speaker 1:You know the exact timing, dude.
Speaker 2:I had to start watching it, so I had to those from the time I was on Cleveland Street, so that was in early 2000s, 99 and 04. Until now I still have a TV at my house for access to my over there antenna. Wow, so you know, for some reason LSU is playing on Channel 10 or whatnot.
Speaker 1:Or if you want to watch the KTC news.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if I want to see that as a damn hurricane and then I'm not even seeing that, I'm watching wherever Jim Cantor is get wiped off the face of the planet. Well, now we know that Matt loves.
Speaker 1:Tivo, and in a little bit Matt's going to tell us why something is stupid.
Speaker 2:Well, some things are just stupid, not stupid.
Speaker 5:It's the R2RO radio show.
Speaker 1:And we're back with one of our favorite segments, where Matt tells us or asks the question.
Speaker 2:Tell me why this isn't stupid.
Speaker 1:And what is it that you think is stupid today?
Speaker 5:Elections signs, elections signs, elections signs, just the sign itself.
Speaker 2:Like that's a totally separate subject. I'm talking about just the sign, not the campaign Not who's running, not going out to anybody in particular. I'm just talking about the fact of campaign signs that there's too many.
Speaker 1:So you think they're stupid.
Speaker 2:Well, they're stupid and they're not being fair about it either. Okay, and I can't even remember. Somebody get on the internet and find the story. Some dude towards downtown Lafayette I don't remember where Streetie was on, but he was in those neighborhoods in that general vicinity and the city council I don't remember if the city council or who's the people that do this the city told him that he had to take down his election signs because so says there's an ordinance that only allows you to have a certain number of square feet. Was he running?
Speaker 5:No, he had to take all of them. No, so he's just a dude that was promoting people.
Speaker 2:Correct and they said you can only have a certain number of square feet of election sign on your property.
Speaker 3:So you had to take all down or just some of them.
Speaker 5:I wonder if that's a city ordinance. Is that the same thing where you can't have these big signs on Johnson Street? Remember a while back? They had to like, the businesses had to make their. They didn't have to make their signs smaller, but any new businesses had to have a certain size, not even just new business Say you take your sign down for any reason.
Speaker 2:You have to go back to you have to go according to ordinance, but my point about the election signs is that this dude's got to take down his and his front yard. Anybody passed by a Varot ambassador lately and seen 47 million election signs? I feel like we should take them all down.
Speaker 5:Yes, Take them all on fire, every single. Well, most of them are plastics and they're going to burn, so fast, I mean, I know one of the main
Speaker 1:rules is you can't put them on public property. I get that right. You don't want the state or the government endorsement. Well endorsing one candidate over the other. So you can't put it on a public road or on a state highways right away.
Speaker 2:One on top of that, then the state becomes responsible for that sign because it's on that property. And if, say, that sign comes up and hit somebody, anything like that the way everybody loves to sue everybody now.
Speaker 3:Not necessarily. Yeah, yeah, well, I know, I know in Youngsville you can only put you have to. It has a window of when you can have them out inside the city limits. So it's like only so many weeks prior to an election they can have them, the signs, out inside the city limits. So maybe Lafayette has the same thing.
Speaker 5:They have some sort of ordinance, but when election November, the beginning of November, is it always the third.
Speaker 3:It's a middle of October.
Speaker 1:Yeah, middle of October.
Speaker 5:No. The presidential elections are always the second Tuesday in November, but so not November.
Speaker 2:Third November, something, but only theory, I only got a couple of weeks to see in this. Well, until no, they probably tackled extra three weeks for them to be able to get rid of the signs.
Speaker 4:Well, Louisiana, we're going to have a runoff.
Speaker 1:Well, for us, we get every four years a very long time of seeing campaign signs, because Louisiana's election cycle is one off of the presidential. So right now we're seeing all the stuff for the state and as soon as this is done, we actually have our federal elections are coming up in 2024. So they're not, you won't see any more state signs, but the federal ones are going to start dropping soon.
Speaker 5:Well, those are a lot less people.
Speaker 1:Yes, but way more signs.
Speaker 5:But you'll pass by Semides Field, where they endorse, like 12 different candidates.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, for one for like they have one for every single thing.
Speaker 5:They got an endorsement sign. We support everybody. We support all these people. This is our vote. This is who we're voting for.
Speaker 1:The entire ballot is my ballot. Here's my ballot. That's exactly correct. They should just have a big song with their ballot, but it would be better they should screencap their go vote app and yeah, and then put it in one side.
Speaker 5:There you go, man. I'm a genius, I can help, it's just a QR code that'll just fill in your account or you can say vote like me, there you go, vote like me, get like me, huh, I like it. That's what I like, that. I like that.
Speaker 1:I like that and you can mine.
Speaker 5:Mine's gonna be digital, so I can change my vote. Well, you can.
Speaker 4:On the last day you're gonna switch it all over, Everybody's like. I'm just going with, but whatever Eric wants. And then the last day you just swap everything. I'm a swapper, I love it, I love it.
Speaker 3:I love it.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, you could have your campaign donations through that too. Every, yeah, every stuff. Oh, it's a new one, new way to run your campaign. Huh, pure digital. I like it. I like it. I know, a long time ago, howard Dean.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you'll remember him, but he was running for president like and right when the internet was coming out, but he made a big deal out of soliciting campaign donations on the internet before anybody else. Yeah, and then who was it recently? Maybe Bernie or somebody was like I'm only gonna take it from small donors, I'm not gonna take any big corporate donations, yeah.
Speaker 4:He was Bernie. Yeah, he only wanted to poor man's money. He didn't want any rich people money you want to know rich people.
Speaker 5:He is a rich people.
Speaker 4:He only has three houses. That's it I know.
Speaker 2:I know he gets money from rich people. They're gonna expect that favor.
Speaker 5:Poor little, they ain't gonna try and get no favor out of little money. Poor little politician, poor little politician, poor little politician, poor little politician.
Speaker 4:Poor little politician, poor little politician, poor little politician. So you, we have to figure out whose property that was and what letter they had to write, what letter they had behind their name, compared to who's in office now or who was pushing them to get rid of so much signage, cause it's very so he only had one candidate on his yard?
Speaker 3:Well, no, he probably had a couple.
Speaker 4:He had a couple, but I'm willing to bet they were all had the same letter behind. I don't know if it's a R or a D, but you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Like so it seems that sometimes those things get pushed. I nominate you to do that because I ain't trying to do homework, dude. Yeah, that's your assignment, chuck.
Speaker 1:It looks like it was a local attorney and he had the signs at his law firm. Oh, okay. And LCG actually came, according to the article, removed them themselves. Yeah, but I guess maybe it had to do with the fact that it was a business versus a residence.
Speaker 4:Was he blocking? Like a corner, like? What difference does that make? Couldn't see you on the stop sign? You got some.
Speaker 5:So they got some new stuff that came out this year, and Lafayette allows signs to go up for 90 days before the initial the before the initiation. Before initiation of the event.
Speaker 1:Oh, so that would be the actual election then, I guess.
Speaker 5:And then that limits a total square footage of all the signs on the residential lot to 12 square feet and on a commercial lot to 32 square feet inside the city.
Speaker 2:I guarantee you there was at least a hundred square feet of signs. That's all Because.
Speaker 1:I can do math that fast?
Speaker 2:Not really. I'm just saying it was a lot of signs.
Speaker 1:And there's like well, the corner of Ambassador and Verot. I mean those signs are enormous. Yeah, it's square, for sure it's not. You can't have 32 signs, you can only have 32 square feet.
Speaker 5:Yeah, right. So I'm reading this thing as David Bootle.
Speaker 2:David.
Speaker 5:Bootle. He's apparently running against Josh Guillory.
Speaker 4:Chris is gonna.
Speaker 5:He's saying the rules are now come on. It's 80 something pages long of.
Speaker 1:Of rules for campaign.
Speaker 5:That's what this guy said it says quote I would, I would probably help. It would probably help if I could read it would probably help if I could read it Would probably help if the rules were clearer than the 80 something pages they have now. David way, a candidate for 15 jurors, judicial district.
Speaker 1:Oh, he's right for judge, yeah, 80 pages judge.
Speaker 3:He said 80 pages, 80 something. Maybe he's trying to prove a point.
Speaker 2:How much did, how much did doofy charge on the print that?
Speaker 1:Haha, well, I think the moral story is is a la fiesta consolidate government. If you need help writing your rules, come reach out the R2RO. We got the people make this week way more sense and in math terms, not be stupid.
Speaker 3:All right all these things will make campaign signs not stupid. Thank you.
Speaker 1:It's the R2RO radio show planet radio, one of six, point seven, the best rock on the planet. Welcome back to the R2RO show. And we got some current events we wanted to talk about. I know Chuck said he saw there might be a new movie coming out or TV show.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so it seems that they're gonna be making a TV show or a movie Netflix. I'm guessing Richa Simmons bio the.
Speaker 1:Jazzers size.
Speaker 4:What is it?
Speaker 1:Wait until the oldies, swatting to the oldies. Yeah, I was gonna win after yeah the.
Speaker 4:I thought he might have been dead.
Speaker 5:Pauli shore, that's gonna be well, I thought both of them might have been dead, so yeah, seems quite fitting but yeah, it's definitely Pauli shore and Pauli shore. If you look at him, he looks like Richard Simmons did yeah, right now today, pauli shore looks like Richard Simmons did.
Speaker 5:Yeah, so Pauli shore is the one that seems to be pushing this along. He's the one that wants to do the movie, and he announced that he was trying to get in touch with Richard Simmons because apparently they don't have him on board yet. Well, that dude's a ghost, well, that's what. So Pauli shore is trying to get in touch with him and he knows where he lives, or he knows about where he lives or something, and he's trying to physically go meet him.
Speaker 3:Hmm is the last thing he's gonna go beg him to make a movie about him and play him.
Speaker 2:Is he gonna talk to him as the weasel whenever he begs him to do?
Speaker 5:this Probably, but if you like, if you look at his again.
Speaker 1:A wheeze the juice.
Speaker 2:It's gonna wheeze the juice. No, I can't see no wheezing the juice no, wheeze, no but.
Speaker 5:I mean, pauli's already got like Cover, like a what's a cover for a movie, the movie cover poster, yeah, poster, he's already got like one of them. Is him in those tiny little shards? Oh, I think it. Uh, yeah, it might just be Richard. I don't know what the name of the movies gonna be, but I haven't seen it, it's just got. He's got little tight little shards to feel, shards to feel, and a giant afro to grow.
Speaker 3:Is that a name is not the name of the show?
Speaker 4:No, it was, it was.
Speaker 1:That's a good name though I know there was a documentary about the fact that Richard Simmons dropped off the face of that, so okay, it's got Richard, that's all it says is Richard in big letters oh, pauli sure he's tiny little short. He but.
Speaker 5:I mean, he looks like him. Oh, no, yeah, he was yeah, they look a lot alike.
Speaker 4:It's gonna be great. He was born to play that role.
Speaker 1:Yeah, apparently Richard Simmons is like all beat up and stuff now from doing all that stuff.
Speaker 5:Well, wait, didn't wait, didn't he get imprisoned in his house or something? What?
Speaker 4:wasn't that.
Speaker 5:Richard Simmons. Oh, that's the old. I think Somebody was like a prison brother house by their daughter or I don't.
Speaker 2:I was, maybe I'm not even Pelosi's husband.
Speaker 1:He's also a Louisiana guy, richard Simmons, mm-hmm from where. I think from near Shreveport.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's that's not Louisiana gotta be Shreveport. That's South Arkansas, gotta be Shreveport.
Speaker 5:Yeah, park, it's New Orleans or East Texas.
Speaker 3:East Texas 75 he's.
Speaker 5:He's 75 years old now.
Speaker 1:He was probably in his 30s or 40s and doing those shows. What in the 80s? Look right there on TMZ.
Speaker 5:Richard Simmons is not interested in participating in the buyout Biopic biopic with Paulie Shore, so maybe he's not I mean you don't have to have him participate.
Speaker 3:You don't?
Speaker 2:yeah, you can do your research and do the show if you want to.
Speaker 1:I mean it's gotta be a little more than just looking like the guy To you, right? I mean maybe he went, checked out well shores filmography and went. That's not exactly the Richard Simmons.
Speaker 5:Okay. So, with that being said, paulie Shore has videos out of him as Richard Simmons and with other people and working out. No no he's making the movie. I pretty sure he doesn't care if he's doing it on board or not. He's making it, but his it. You remember what was a will Ferrell's Character? Look at what I could do. Oh, who was that?
Speaker 2:No, that was on that one TV, right yeah look at what I will Ferrell.
Speaker 3:No, that was the guy who played Stuart. Oh.
Speaker 5:Okay, what I could do yeah, that's not.
Speaker 2:Will Ferrell, yeah, yeah, no, Stuart, it's yeah. Stuart had the ball haircut.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I don't remember who the guy was. No, it's not, will okay.
Speaker 5:So Paulie Shores work out video is a mix between Richard Simmons and that guy.
Speaker 2:Sprinkles and Terry from Reno 911 in there like.
Speaker 5:Swings it all around and like this big old show and so there's a very good chance that he saw Paulie Sure doing it. He was like I'm out yeah.
Speaker 1:Now, if you ever do, you go on Authorized version. Yeah, the documentary actually talks a lot about the reason they're trying to find him is because he was such a good person To people like the people we help get to lose weight. He actually would call these people like every day and check with them and see how they were doing, like he was that kind of Awesome person. So all these people wanted to find him, to thank him, yeah but sometimes people just won't be left alone.
Speaker 2:He did leave that dude alone, where'd they find him.
Speaker 1:Oh, they found him in his house. It's just, he was very hard to find. Oh, he wasn't. He's not.
Speaker 4:I didn't know if he like disappeared when they could warlands or something, they couldn't catch him.
Speaker 2:They didn't know if he was at his house or if they was at Michael's.

Speaker 2:I watched that one a lot. I mean, come on in seno man Dude when was the last time you seen? Seno man.
Speaker 4:And seno man was good, but pauli shore wasn't a star.
Speaker 2:You know like he wasn't, he doesn't need to be I don't know.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean it. That wasn't pretty good.
Speaker 2:I personally find pauli shore better when he's not the main guy.
Speaker 1:I can. He's the ancillary character.
Speaker 2:He just comes in, throws that jab, backs out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you're. Uh, I don't disagree, but he just kept throwing that jab and son-in-law yeah, even a lot of me at help, but in son-in-law he was just throwing straight heaters, oh yeah son-in-law was.
Speaker 4:Son-in-law was probably his peak.
Speaker 1:That was his tour de force, for sure.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you're definitely. Uh, you're definitely helping richa simmons make his decision to know about not letting pauli shore.
Speaker 2:What was that terrible one In the army? Now, that was not down.
