It's a radio nickname in case you're wondering. I'm joined by John Paul Flame. It's actually

not a radio nickname because it preceded the radio cakes. That is true. It was from way back of the day. Eric Bickle also here. Yep. Good morning. Barely slept terribly. Very good. Yeah, grumpy. Need to go home and get that nap in on a Thursday. All these different things you've done and you're still sleeping terribly. Yeah, I was listening to something last night, so it was on my brain. My brain was working too much. I just couldn't turn it off. The brain was racing? Yeah. Well, I saw you, we arrived about the exact same time, and I saw you walking up the steps, and you've got your slippers on. I was just thinking, when do you just go full-blown pajamas to work? I mean, we're pretty close. I drive by Quintz Orchard High School all the time. There are a lot of kids that wear those pajama pants. It's pretty commonplace. I mean, I slept in these sweatpants. Yeah, I mean, I'm wearing workout pants and a junkie sweatshirt. So these are, I mean, this is pretty close to pajamas right here. It's about as close as you can get. I threw on the surf side sweatshirt. Yeah. And I just slipped into the slippers. They were right by the bed. They're so comfy. Why not? Perfect. I'm not going anywhere today. It gets your right to work. Yeah. It's one of the perks of being on radio. Yeah. And I guess we are also on TV.

I know they are ruined it with all this like video coverage.

Like shaving feverishly as I'm driving in because they look horrible and all these close-ups.

I mean, literally it, it, look, it is what it is.

My life's almost over.

But, but I, you know, I see these video clips daily, and I look like a negative 20 on them.

They're just way too close up.

They show every blemish, you know, every hair out of place.

It's actually awful.

These clips are road to your life. I didn't sign up for that. I'd be honest with you. Did not sign up in the next contract. I did not sign up for these close-ups. To be a clause. You're supposed to be working in radio. Nobody could see us. Yeah. It's supposed to be the lore of the whole thing. They're not flattering shots. No. And they haven't gotten away from them. I'm nobody, by the way. I know. But, you know, especially me. They haven't gotten away from them despite the criticism. Yeah. I mean, I look at it and I go, my wife's going to leave me. I mean, like, it looks so ugly. She'd have to check out our Twitter. I think she sees it. She'd have to go to the live stream. I think they put it on Instagram. I think they put it on Instagram. I think they put it on Instagram. Okay, they're both. Yeah. She definitely checks the reels, you know, like everybody else. She brain rots herself and watches reels all day. Who does it? I don't know anybody that does it.

Guess JP.

You know what?

It might be a fad.

Hopefully it'll pass.
