FunTranscript
00:00Kevin's in Riverview. Hey, Kevin, MJ Morning Show Q105.
00:04Whose side are you on on this goofy Love is Blind show?
00:08Gotta be the Fester.
00:11There's no way I can pull for you, MJ.
00:13You make no sense, dude.
00:18Hey, Michelle.
00:20Yeah.
00:21Hey, why don't you tell Fester how much you enjoyed Love is Blind on Netflix last night?
00:27Oh, it's so tedious.
00:29Oh, shut up.
00:31You're telling my wife to shut up?
00:33Yeah, Michelle, you stopped.
00:34That was great.
00:35How is that show not awesome?
00:37Fester, hold on.
00:39Michelle, hold on a minute.
00:40Michelle.
00:42Fester.
00:42Michelle and I.
00:43I'll get it straight.
00:45Michelle and I, we were looking at each other.
00:47And how many times, Michelle, did we say, what is wrong with Fester?
00:51What is Fester's problem?
00:53What TV shows does he like?
00:55Why is Fester watching this?
00:57Michelle said that.
00:58Why is Fester watching this?
01:00All right, Michelle, what were your observations?
01:02It's a dating show.
01:04All right, I'll tell you what.
01:05Fester, why don't you explain quickly what Love is Blind is about?
01:10First of all, it's a dating show where you do not see the person that you're going to hopefully meet and bond with.
01:17You instead have conversations.
01:19You have no idea what they look like.
01:20But wait a minute.
01:21In the beginning, weren't they all in the same room?
01:23No, it was all the men in one room, all the women in the other room.
01:25All the men in one room, all the women in a separate room.
01:28And then they, there's like this, the set must be like in a warehouse because they have all these pods and they're nicely appointed pods.
01:37I like the pods.
01:38The pods are kind of sexy.
01:39The pods have like couches and nice carpet.
01:41It's very comfortable.
01:42And then there's like an opaque, like a smoked glass.
01:46And on the other side is the woman's pod.
01:49On one side is the man's pod.
01:50And it's only through conversation and talking.
01:54And then, of course, you see both of them in their pods on TV.
01:57But the two that are talking, and then they rotate and different, they all talk to the different guys and different women.
02:04Everybody talks to everybody and it sees who you bond with and who you deal with.
02:08And then you're supposed to make a commitment if, can you bond and get engaged and get married by just talking to them and never seeing them.
02:18So, the first episode last night, two people actually get engaged on the first freaking episode just by talking through glass.
02:28How is that?
02:29That they can't see each other.
02:31That's not real.
02:32They talk for six times, eight times, and they're like, oh, this guy is looking at a glass fogged out.
02:38But Walt proposing to it?
02:39And then I said to Michelle, I said, come on, this is reality television.
02:43This is bogus crap.
02:45You think they really got engaged?
02:47Are they really getting married?
02:49All right, so, Michelle, what were your observations?
02:52It was just tedious.
02:54All right, you got to give us something else.
02:56Those guys see the dumbest things.
02:57Say that again?
02:58Those guys see the dumbest things.
03:00You know, they do.
03:03I did think their conversation was just slightly above Bachelor because all they say on Bachelor and Bachelorette is like, this is such a connection.
03:10And you watched it too?
03:12Yeah, I did.
03:12How many episodes have you watched?
03:14I just watched one last night, part of one.
03:16And I watched it blindfolded myself.
03:19What?
03:19And that helps because...
03:20Hold on, you blindfolded yourself so you could only hear the audio?
03:25Yeah, I tried to picture myself as the people participating in the show to see if I would want to date any of the people.
03:30You're insane.
03:31You're getting a little too much into this crap.
03:32Did you want to date any of those guys?
03:34No, I didn't have connections with any of them.
03:37Okay, first of all, I think everybody on the show is a little screwy.
03:41But tell me, at the end of the show, when one guy is proposing to a glass wall against the woman, for the woman who had that big mole on her lower chin.
03:52I don't remember her name.
03:53Yeah, so she already got engaged to this guy.
03:56Yeah.
03:56Oh, he's going to see that mole.
03:58And then they meet each other face to face.
04:00And then, you know, they love each other.
04:02It's love at first sight.
04:04Oh, they don't love.
04:05You're beautiful.
04:06No, you're beautiful.
04:07No, you're beautiful.
04:08You're more beautiful.
04:09No, you're more beautiful-er.
04:10Oh, God.
04:11Let me lick your mole.
04:12You guys are making the case for me.
04:14I'm not saying it's the most life-changing...
04:16Why are we talking about it then?
04:17Because this is...
04:18This idea.
04:20The idea that you could talk to a glass wall and Kim would say, I choose you.
04:26Kim only got with me because of my looks.
04:27That's the only reason.
04:28So it had nothing to do with my personality.
04:30No kidding.
04:31All right.
04:31So this whole...
04:32Fester.
04:33Michelle and I are looking at each other.
04:35And we said, guess what?
04:36We've watched two episodes.
04:39We're out.
04:40We're done.
04:41No.
04:41I'm not watching any more of your silly Love is Blind.
04:44Okay.
04:45You guys got to give it two more because now they...
04:46I'm not giving it two more.
04:48Now they go to Mexico.
04:49Hey, Michelle, are you going to give it two more?
04:52I said we should just go to the very end because it's on Netflix, right?
04:55You don't have to watch any of it.
04:56Just go to the...
04:56Exactly.
04:57Just go to the very end.
04:58That's a good idea.
04:58That's it.
04:59But you do have to let Fester explain the concept because it is kind of interesting how it
05:04develops.
05:04What concept?
05:05The whole thing is interesting.
05:06Going to Mexico.
05:06Okay.
05:07They go to Mexico.
05:07And they all get mowed down with machine gun spray by a cartel.
05:12Okay.
05:12Great.
05:12You ruined episode five.
05:14You just ruined episode five.
05:16Shoot through the grass.
05:19All right.
05:19Go ahead.
05:20They all go to Mexico and then they all mingle together.
05:23See?
05:24See?
05:24Of the six people who got engaged during the show, the first two episodes, they mingle together
05:30now.
05:31And now if you had a connection with another person, you see what they look like.
05:35Right.
05:35Oh, and then you can like swap or steal?
05:39I got Roxanne as my hype person over here.
05:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:41Yeah.
05:42So anyway, but...
05:43Oh, raise the roof.
05:44Oh, yeah.
05:45Then there's all these insecurities and people are like, I don't know if we have a true connection.
05:50One girl leaves over religious beliefs.
05:52First of all, first of all, this is reality TV show hyped up garbage.
05:58And it's on Netflix.
06:00Come on.
06:00I don't believe this.
06:01They're probably mostly actors anyway.
06:02Last night, I also found out there's Love is Blind Japan and there's Love is Blind Brazil.
06:07How about Love is Blind Blind, where all the people are actually blind?
06:10There hasn't been a good reality show since my big, fat, obnoxious fiance back in 2000.
06:16Is that...
06:16Was that really a show?
06:17Yeah, you remember?
06:18Yeah.
06:18The big, fat, fake, obnoxious fiance.
06:21She had to fake his family.
06:23Oh, that's right.
06:24She had to fake her family into marrying this big, fat guy.
06:27All right.
06:27So, Michelle, anything you want to leave Festa with?
06:30Any parting words?
06:31I can't believe Allison let him watch it.
06:33It's garbage.
06:35It's garbage.
06:35I have no interest.
06:36Festa, you are enthralled with Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother, and this.
06:42Okay, that's totally different.
06:43I don't like Love is Blind.
06:44I love Big Brother.
06:45Those are two different things.
06:46Festa.
06:47Coop doesn't understand love.
06:48You're a 40-something-year-old guy.
06:50Michelle and I want to know what is wrong with you.
06:52What is attracting you to this?
06:53Are you not at least a little compelled by that dynamic that these morons are on bended
06:59knees to a piece of glass?
07:00Then the veterinarian guy, what's his name?
07:02Shake.
07:02Oh, Shake.
07:03Yeah.
07:04Shake.
07:05Shake the veterinarian is a total douchebag.
07:09But is that going to hurt his practice?
07:12Are people going to want this guy to be their dog or cat's vet?
07:15You've got to see what happens to Shake.
07:18All right.
07:18We talked about a show a few weeks ago where they only show the naked parts of a guy's junk.
07:23No, no, no.
07:23Wait a sec.
07:25Does Shake the veterinarian get mauled by El Chapo's guard dog down in Juarez or Chalupa
07:32or wherever the hell?
07:34There goes episode seven.
07:35Oh, boy.
07:36Episode seven.
07:37Episode seven.
07:38Shake goes down by the dog.
07:39Is he in a Shake?
07:40That's awesome.
07:40Michelle, I'll talk to you later.
07:42But Michelle and I are on the same page here.
07:44What the hell is Fester watching?
07:46Of all things on Netflix.
07:47You guys are blind.
07:48I tell you what I want to see on Netflix next.
07:51On Netflix next.
07:53I want to see there's a show about the worst roommates ever.
07:59There's a new documentary that just dropped.
08:01I got to dig it up.
08:02I printed off the story and I actually saw it on my Netflix home screen.
08:07The worst roommates ever.
08:08All right, Michelle.
08:09I'll talk to you in a bit, okay?
08:10All right.
08:10Goodbye.
08:11Bye, Michelle.
08:12I'll call you later, Michelle.
08:13Oh, you want me to go to?
08:14Fester wants me to go to the phone.
08:15Listen, I'm telling you, there's two teams.
08:16There's Team MJ, Team Fester here.
08:18You are underestimating the amount of people who, I'm not saying this is riveting television,
08:23but it's really crazy.
08:24It's a train wreck.
08:25You can't stop watching.
08:26My chest is getting a little tight from the push-ups.
08:28I bet it is.
08:29You might have repercussions after all that.
08:31I'm kidding.
08:31I'm kidding.
08:32I'm fine.
08:32All right.
08:32So, you want to go to phones on this?
08:34I bet you if we took 10 calls.
08:3610 calls?
08:37I'm not taking 10 calls.
08:38I'm with an ass.
08:39All right, hold on.
08:40I bet you if we took nine calls, we would have more Team Fester than we would Team MJ.
08:44All right.
08:44Let's go to phones.
08:46Is anyone listening right now that is invested?
08:49I'm sorry.
08:50Is anyone listening right now that wasted their time watching this Love is Blind on Netflix?
08:56Why are you trying to taint the pool of callers?
08:58I'm not tainting the pool.
08:59You are.
08:59Anybody waste their time with this?
09:01Who's going to call in now on my side?
09:02All right.
09:02Does anyone love Love is Blind?
09:05All right.
09:05Let's go to phones.
09:06800-990-1047.
09:10800-990-1047.
09:13You want to weigh in.
09:14Have you seen Love is Blind on Netflix?
09:17You've heard my position.
09:19You've heard Fester's position.
09:21Hey, you heard Michelle's position.
09:23Where are you on this Love is Blind thing?
09:25Team MJ or Team Fester?
09:28I mean, Mallory and Sal, and then Jarrett comes into it, and then Mallory gets all a little
09:34crazy.
09:35800-990-1047.
09:37One time I did something like this, Love is Blind.
09:41What do you mean?
09:42Well, I did Dialogue in the Dark.
09:43Have you done that?
09:45I've heard of the concept.
09:46Where was this?
09:47Atlanta.
09:48Look at the phones.
09:49Every line is ringing.
09:49Oh, the phones are all jammed.
09:50Okay.
09:50Oh, God.
09:50Tell the story.
09:51You get to meet people.
09:53You go in.
09:54It's all dark.
09:55And you meet people, and you have no idea what they look like.
09:58And you just sit and talk to them and get to know them.
10:00And then you see them after you leave.
10:02It's not like a dating thing.
10:03It's just you get to know what it's like to be blind.
10:06Okay.
10:10Hey, guess what?
10:11I once did some events with the Tampa Lighthouse for the Blind, which is a wonderful organization,
10:18and even Southeast Guide Dogs.
10:21And how many?
10:21I played numerous years of beeper ball.
10:23Beeper ball.
10:23That's right.
10:24I played with you.
10:24Yeah.
10:25At the Yankee Stadium over here, right off of Dale Mabry at Steinbrenner Field.
10:29I did several beeper balls where they blindfold the sighted, and you got to listen for the
10:36ball that beeps as it goes by you.
10:38Have a bunch of blind people laughing at us, running to the wrong base.
10:41All the sighted people had to wear a blindfold to try to hit the ball at home plate.
10:45You're at bat, but you're blindfolded.
10:47This is nothing like that.
10:48This is Love is Blind, MJ.
10:49I'm telling you, there are raving fans for this show.
10:53It's a train wreck.
10:54It's a train wreck, and that's why you watch it.
10:56Jake in Winterhaven.
10:57Jake, Team MJ or Team Fester on this thing?
11:00I'm Team MJ, but my wife is obsessed with this show.
11:04So, like, she watches all that crap, like, Love Too Hot to Handle and True Love is Blower
11:09the hell it is.
11:10But it's just, like, she keeps tabs on people on Instagram if they're still married, not
11:14three years later.
11:16So she watches, she gets sucked into all these shows?
11:20Every single one.
11:21She watches them religiously at nighttime.
11:22All right.
11:23Has she seen the new one on Hulu, My Husband's Junk is Like a Pineapple?
11:27I hope not.
11:30She would love it.
11:31She would love it.
11:32If she likes dating shows and fruit, she would love it.
11:35Hey, Jake, how old is your wife?
11:37She is 28.
11:39And how old are you, Jake?
11:41I am 31.
11:42All right.
11:42I just want to get demographic.
11:43I want to see what the demos are on this.
11:45All right.
11:45So that's one for Team MJ.
11:47Yes, because we're not going to give the wife.
11:50Yeah, she didn't call it.
11:50She didn't call it.
11:51All right.
11:51How about Micah?
11:53Micah, MJ Morning Show from Lakeland.
11:55Hi, Micah.
11:56Hey, good morning, guys.
11:58Morning, Micah.
11:59So are you watching Love is Blind on Netflix?
12:02Absolutely.
12:03Team Fester over here.
12:04All right.
12:05Team Fester.
12:05That's my girl.
12:06How many episodes are you in, Micah?
12:09All of them.
12:10I watched all of season one, and I'm waiting for the reunion for season two.
12:15Oh, boy.
12:15All right, Micah.
12:16Team Fester.
12:16Thank you, Micah.
12:17Thanks for calling.
12:18I still love you.
12:20Jennifer's in Spring Hill.
12:21Jennifer, Love is Blind.
12:24Who's teaming you on?
12:26Team MJ all the way.
12:28Got to go with Team MJ.
12:29All right, Jennifer, have you watched some of the episodes?
12:32No, I caught the preview little thing they gave you, the trailer, but it didn't seem interested.
12:37I'm more of the worst roommate ever kind of girl.
12:40Have you watched any of those yet?
12:42Because that's on my list.
12:43Yes.
12:44Yes.
12:44You definitely need to check it out.
12:45I'm in, like, my third episode.
12:47I don't want to give anything away, but they're really, really good.
12:49All right.
12:50So give me one of the worst roommates.
12:51It's like a serial killer, right?
12:54Yes.
12:55Yes.
12:55The first one, like I said, I don't want to give anything away, but the first one is a
12:58female serial killer.
13:00Totally caught me on that one.
13:02Wow.
13:02Jennifer, what the hell are you doing?
13:03What?
13:03They're just terrible, terrible people that tricked people into living with them.
13:08Worst roommate ever.
13:09All right.
13:09Hey, Jennifer, let me ask.
13:11Jennifer, how old are you?
13:13I'm 43.
13:14Okay.
13:14I want to get to say, that's like Fester's age.
13:16She can't be Team Fester if she has not watched, or Team MJ if she hasn't watched any of the
13:21shows.
13:21You can't judge by the trailer, Jennifer.
13:22Yes, you can't.
13:23No, you can't.
13:24We described it.
13:25She's on my team.
13:26She's a nut.
13:27So right now, what is the score?
13:28Two for Team MJ, one for Team Fester.
13:30Exactly.
13:31All right.
13:31Jennifer's in Palm Harbor.
13:32Hi, Jennifer.
13:33MJ Morning Show.
13:34Hit it.
13:36Definitely Team MJ.
13:37And MJ, you already invested two shows, way too many.
13:41You are 100% right.
13:42Jennifer, you are 100% correct.
13:45Jennifer, how old are you, please?
13:4748.
13:47All right, 48 years old.
13:48Thanks, Jen.
13:49Is every Jennifer in her 40s nuts right now?
13:52Because you're both wrong.
13:53Kevin's in Riverview.
13:55Hey, Kevin, MJ Morning Show, Q105.
13:57Whose side are you on on this Goofy Love is Blind show?
14:01Got to be the Fester.
14:04There's no way I can pull for you, MJ.
14:07You make no sense, dude.
14:08I don't even think he watches the show.
14:11He's just Team Fester.
14:12Kevin, have you ever seen the show?
14:15Kevin, hold on.
14:16Have you ever seen the show?
14:19Yeah.
14:19Hell yeah.
14:20I wouldn't be calling in if I hadn't.
14:22All right, Team Fester.
14:23All right.
14:23All right.
14:23That's cool.
14:24I make no sense.
14:25Well, I agree.
14:26I'm just a blabbing, blubbering, babbling idiot over here.
14:31Kevin, so far, is the smartest caller I think we've ever had.
14:34Rachel.
14:34Rachel's in Tampa.
14:36Rachel, you're on the MJ Morning Show.
14:37Hi.
14:39Good morning.
14:41Rachel, Team MJ or Team Fester on this Love is Blind garbage?
14:45I am Team Fester all the way.
14:47There you go.
14:48All right.
14:48So you're watching the show and you like it?
14:51I have no time for any TV, but this show, I like it.
14:55The first season, a couple actually is still married, which I was shocked, and I have absolutely
15:00no time for any TV, but this show just gets me.
15:05If you don't mind me asking, Rachel, how old are you?
15:0935.
15:1035.
15:11And it's not because it's the greatest show, MJ.
15:13I'm not saying it's going to change the course of mankind.
15:15I'm saying it's a great show because of the train wreck that you have to watch.
15:19Eva in Tampa.
15:20Hey, Eva.
15:21Welcome to the show.
15:21What's your thought on this Love is Blind?
15:24Good morning.
15:25I love the show.
15:27I can't stop watching it.
15:29Eva, how old are you, please?
15:30Eva, how old?
15:31I'm sorry?
15:31How old are you?
15:33I am 55.
15:3455.
15:37We have quite a spread here.
15:3928, 31, 35, 40, whatever.
15:42Eva, do you watch the show and say these people have got to be nuts to say yes to a piece of
15:47fogged out glass where somebody's proposing on the other side?
15:51Yes, absolutely.
15:52That's why.
15:52Eva, thanks.
15:53I'm looking at the call screen here, folks, and this is not turning out very well right
15:58now.

16:04Team Fester.
16:05And I love the concept of the show.
16:07Christine, how old are you, please?

16:17Tamara, how old are you, please?
16:19I'm 35.
16:2035 years old.
16:21You like this show, Love is Blind.
16:22Team MJ or Team Fester?
16:25I'm Fester because they're falling in love with personalities and souls and not looks at
16:31all.
16:31All right.
16:32Coop, I'm going to finish up these calls.
16:34Every line is ringing again, but I'm only going to finish up the ones you have screened.
16:38Let's grab Emma in Clearwater.
16:40Emma, how old are you, please?
16:40I'm 57 and my husband is 58.
16:45But the thing is, my daughter is 33 and she got us started on it.
16:49Oh, wow.
16:50So you like it?
16:50You and your husband are watching this thing?
16:52Yeah.
16:53My husband was a little bit reluctant, but when I have it on and he sits in there, he gets
16:58interested in the characters and we have a good laugh.
17:00All right.
17:00All right.
17:01Two more calls on this.
17:02Erica is in Newport, Richie.
17:04Hello, Erica.
17:05Team MJ, Team Fester on this goofy Love is Blind.
17:08I'm Team Fester all the way, and I'm actually in the middle of watching Love is Blind Japan
17:12at the moment.
17:14What?
17:15I watched a trailer for that last night and I was watching all these Japanese guys cry
17:19on the couch and stuff.
17:20My God.
17:21Erica, how old are you, please?
17:23I am 42.
17:24Thank you, Erica.
17:25I appreciate it.
17:26Our last call on this.
17:28Angela in Clearwater has the last say on this dating show, Love is Blind, on Netflix.
17:34Hello, Angela.
17:36Hello.
17:37I am Team Fester all the way.
17:40That's right.
17:40Looks like Fester turned this sucker around, man.
17:43I'm telling you, it's a great show, especially with all the craziness and all the awful things
17:46happening in the news and the world.
17:48You put this on and it's mindless entertainment.
17:51Yeah, guess what?
17:51It lowers your IQ by at least 25, 30 points.
17:54Tell that to blind people.
17:55Watch Casino again.
17:56All right.
17:56So, that's what I do.
17:58Put Goodfellas on.
17:59Hey, Angela, how old are you, please?
18:01I'm 45.
18:03Appreciate it.
18:04All right.
18:04So, you did not want to take nine calls and you didn't.
18:07You took 12 calls.
18:09Did I take 12?
18:10Really?
18:10The score is nine people on Team Fester.
18:13The phones are still ringing.
18:14I could have taken probably an infinite amount of calls.
18:17Three people on Team MJ right there.
18:19Wow.
18:20So, good job.
18:21Wait, would you check out that 25 to 54 audience?
18:24MJ, it's not the greatest, you know, life-changing show where you're, but you get invested in these
18:30people and you, it's the train wreck.
18:32We understand you're passionate about it.
18:34Yeah, we get it.
18:35You guys-
18:36Please explain a little bit more about it.
18:37Okay.
18:38So, these two people are in pods.
18:39I'm done.
18:41I'm over.
18:42I'm not watching anymore.
18:43We are two and done.
18:45Fester, thank you for the colossal waste of time.
18:48Shut up.
18:48Michelle and I were looking at each other and we're like, oh my God.
18:52I'd rather watch-
18:52The textures were in his favor, too.
18:53I'd rather watch a show with Bernie Sanders going to the bathroom.
18:57Oh, the Bernie-
18:58Oh, yeah, okay.
18:59That's what-
19:00They're mine.
19:00I almost said-
19:01Okay, so they have this show where Bernie goes into a pod.
19:04That's what I'd rather see.
19:05That's what I'd rather see.
