Hi. We were talking about

1:35

concert festivals. So

1:38

many. Well, you're going to what? Sonic Temple.

1:41

Yep. Which is

1:43

up where? Columbus, Ohio. Oh, Columbus,

1:45

okay. That's where Rock on the Range used

1:47

to be, right? Yeah, I was going to say that was... I

1:49

think so. Yeah. I've never been.

1:52

Greek Fire played that a time or two and it was at a stadium. It

1:54

was either Columbus Crews Stadium or... Who

1:56

else

1:57

plays in Columbus? Who would have a stadium in Columbus?

2:00

The Blue Jackets. No, no, no. This

2:02

is a big open. Because I think. The Columbus,

2:06

Columbus. One of the mainnered

2:09

iterations. I was on stage and watched that. Pussifer?

2:13

No. No, you know, I think it was

2:15

Perfect Circle.

2:16

Well, they're both

2:18

well, no, Tool and Perfect

2:20

Circle. No, Tool and Pussifer are

2:22

at Sonic. Okay. Wow. Cool.

2:26

No way. Yeah. So

2:28

that's the one with Foo Fighters. Oh, Bobby Zombie?

2:30

Bobby Zombie's going to be there. Oh, Bobby Zombie. Like

2:32

a ton. It's everybody.

2:34

I'm so excited. Okay. So, and

2:36

we're trying to think, okay, so there's Bonnaroo, which

2:38

is in Tennessee. Bonnaroo's in Tennessee. And

2:41

I thought there was another one in, not

2:43

in our neck of the woods. Welcome to Rockville. Remember

2:46

that? No, what's that? Was that Chicago? That

2:50

was in Daytona International

2:52

Speedway, Daytona Beach, Florida.

2:54

Okay. No, that's not. There

2:56

was one in Kansas City. And

2:59

I don't think that's a thing anymore. You

3:01

mentioned Rocklohoma. Music Festival. Yeah.

3:04

Columbia has that Roots and Blues Fest every year that's dope

3:06

in September. No, we're talking like the big.

3:09

Big big. The big Bonnaroo, Sonic

3:11

Temple. There was another big one like in Kentucky

3:13

last year. It was like a Ford, it was huge. You

3:16

have like Chris Stapleton, but it was like. That's

3:18

the bourbon. Yeah. It was like

3:20

the bourbon one. That's Pearl Jam played that. I want to

3:22

go to that. It was a mix. Pearl Jam, Linus Morissette.

3:25

Yeah, it

3:26

was a big one. But that was like a new one, right? Not

3:29

a yearly. That's a new one. Rockfest

3:31

was in Wisconsin. Oh,

3:34

okay. Maybe I'm thinking of a Summerfest. Summerfest. Summerfest

3:37

in Milwaukee. Yeah. Is

3:39

there one called Brochella?

3:41

There should be. There

3:43

should be. Honestly, it would be like Limp Biscuit.

3:46

That's what they should have done for this. What

3:48

is it? An old Chella. They're

3:50

doing it out in India. It's

3:52

coming up. It's all the metal bands. Power

3:55

Trip.

3:56

Oh, yeah. With Guns N' Roses and

3:58

Metallica. And Iron Maiden. and now

4:00

they should do bro cella out there with some of these

4:03

touring festivals who would play bro cella

4:10

No, I mean so it definitely this could Do

4:16

that's how I opened for stained 23 it

4:20

was dope

4:24

No bands that would embrace

4:28

Yeah, I think we named them bands that would embrace

4:30

that like and where it is almost a badge.

4:32

Yeah, man. We're like a Bro

4:34

band it'd be family values to her 99

4:37

again. Yeah. Yeah, you know Yeah,

4:40

although like there's a couple bands that have like done

4:42

They have been in that that

4:44

that pool and then kind of swept

4:47

out of it somehow like corn For a certain

4:49

period that was a bro band and then it wasn't

4:53

You know, I mean like depending on the year they could be

4:55

a bro band It's like they're Adidas tracksuit

4:58

days. Yeah, I don't even mean like the band themselves

5:01

I kind of mean like how the world responds

5:54

all hats are back. Get the hell out of here Would sugar

5:57

a be a bro cella band

5:59

like a pop

5:59

like you put Sugar Ray over there just randomly, like

6:02

people are kind of confused.

6:03

I don't know if you saw this study,

6:06

but there was a study that asked over a thousand

6:08

concert goers who have seen at least one

6:10

show this year about concert crowds.

6:13

And those polled said concert crowds in several states

6:16

are now ruder and more disruptive

6:19

than

6:19

before the pandemic. Ruder

6:22

and now disruptive? Ruder and more disruptive

6:25

than before 2019. Yeah,

6:28

you forgot your manners. You don't know what to do out there.

6:31

You got your phone out. I think people in general

6:33

are kind of like that. So do you think

6:35

concert crowds have gotten worse? I

6:40

think people have gotten worse. Thus

6:43

the crowds of anybody have gotten worse. So, you

6:45

know, is it just concert crowds? No. I

6:47

think it's just people in general.

6:50

So yes, the crowds are worse because people

6:52

are worse. So do you have an example

6:56

of any? Yeah, I think people are rude. Is

6:58

it the phones thing?

6:59

Not to me. To me, I'm one of these people where, okay, if

7:02

you're on your phone your whole time, whatever, that's not really for

7:04

me. But if you want to take a

7:06

video of your favorite band, it's your favorite song,

7:09

I'm cool with that. You paid money to be there.

7:11

Do whatever you want. But no, to

7:13

me, it's the rudeness. It's like, you

7:15

know, people just slinging beers on people

7:18

and just getting in your face. Like I've seen a lot

7:20

of people getting kicked out of clubs and

7:22

stuff lately.

7:22

I've just noticed more of

7:25

a, this is my

7:27

world. Yeah, dude. I think it's more.

7:30

This is my world and I

7:32

don't care who else is here. And welcome to it. I think we've

7:34

been on a steady pace for 30, 40 something years

7:37

of more and more isolation.

7:39

And I mean, even if you're out in a crowd, you're

7:41

still feeling more isolated. And 2020 just

7:45

like lightning fast

7:47

evolved that. So I think

7:49

even when we were at the Chiefs game, don't

7:52

you feel like if someone was to start

7:54

talking to you, it would be weird.

7:56

Where is there still like old people? Like if my mother

7:58

goes to a Cardinals game, I guarantee. she's talking to all

8:00

sorts of chatterbox and all sorts of people

8:02

around her. Because she is

8:05

less isolated than we are

8:07

as a generation.

8:09

So now if somebody talks to you, oh man, somebody's

8:11

talking to me. Oh, oh. You know what I mean?

8:14

What's going on? Like I'm a pretty you do you, I'll

8:16

do me sort of person. But

8:17

if somebody talks to me, usually I'm kind of like, oh, this

8:19

is lovely. Like, look at this, we're two

8:22

human beings discussing. So, Ray for

8:24

the comedy clubs. Yep. Pre-pandemic,

8:28

post-pandemic. Is there a

8:30

difference as far as behavior

8:32

goes? Or as Chris

8:34

Hanson would say, behavior. Behavior.

8:37

I would say yes, but I think comics

8:40

are kind of responsible for that. Comedy's

8:43

changed so much. And I think

8:45

crowds are more disruptive, but also all

8:47

I see comedians posting online are crowd

8:49

work clips. So

8:52

if you're a, you

8:54

have to train audiences just like you

8:56

have to

8:57

train performers. Do you know what I mean? If

9:00

somebody comes to a show and

9:02

all they've seen online is comedian

9:05

owns heckler. They're gonna heckle.

9:07

It seems like they think it's participatory. That's

9:09

part of the show. So then when they interrupt, comedians

9:11

get off stage and they're like, well, these

9:14

crowds won't shut up. They won't let me do my jokes.

9:16

And I'm like, yeah,

9:17

that's what they think the shows are now because that's

9:19

all we post. Because it's easy content and

9:21

I get it. We live in a TikTok Instagram world and

9:23

I'm not immune to it, you know? That's

9:26

a great point. And you all know what crowd work is,

9:28

right? It's a comic

9:31

talking to the audience and kind of riffing.

9:33

And you don't have to give away material that way.

9:35

And a lot of stuff, yeah, you don't give away

9:37

material. And it also shows that, hey,

9:40

look how quick-witted I am. Right. Yeah.

9:43

But yeah, now you're cultivating

9:45

this culture of, oh, I could go

9:47

to a comedy show and now be part of

9:49

it. Because that's what all

9:51

this comedian does is, well, that's all I see.

9:53

But I think people, to Moon's point, are more

9:56

apt to do that because it is

9:58

a...

9:59

me, me, me. I am the show.

10:02

I am here. You're welcome. As

10:05

opposed to like seeing, you know, no one

10:07

would scream during Wicked.

10:11

You know what I mean? No one in the audience

10:13

at Wicked is like, boo. That

10:16

one gal at the orchestra sure has something

10:18

to say. She didn't boo though.

10:20

And I don't even think it's a rudeness

10:22

thing. I don't even think people are being ruder or anything. I

10:24

think they're just more isolated. I think they're more

10:27

isolated in their own minds and their own beings and

10:29

their own just spirits

10:31

in general. And even in a crowd, they're

10:33

more isolated. So if you're bumping into their

10:35

spot or heaven forbid,

10:38

you know, you're sort of interrupting their

10:40

experience

10:41

or our, I'm going to say our experience. Because I think

10:43

we're all, we're all in, we're all in this together.

10:46

I

10:46

think we're just a more isolated

10:49

group of, I think it's, I

10:51

think that's part of it. But I also think people are,

10:53

have become rude and just a-holes. I

10:56

think so too. I think it's an echo chamber of the internet for

10:59

everything. Everything is catered and tailored

11:01

to us. There is no, you no longer

11:03

have to experience anything that you don't

11:06

want in your bubble. So when you go out into public,

11:08

you think it's still, you're still in your bubble,

11:10

but you're not now we're in a large regard with

11:12

no regard to the person behind you

11:15

or next to you. Man, we got an interesting email about

11:17

that, about the, the, the

11:19

chair's leaning back in the plane

11:22

and everybody thinks the other

11:24

person's

11:24

attitude towards it is rude. Every

11:27

single person, let me get this email up. So somebody said, because

11:30

remember we were talking about how, is it

11:32

rude to lean back your chair? Yeah.

11:37

Somebody, somebody posted online, they

11:39

say it's an unethical hack that if somebody

11:41

leans their chair back

11:42

on a plane, just take your vent

11:45

and just point it at their face. Right. Because, because

11:47

they're saying that if you're leaning

11:50

your chair back on an airplane, you're the rude one.

11:52

And I was like, that's, that's absurd. Like, first of all,

11:54

you thinking I'm rude for using the chair and the way

11:57

it's designed. That

11:58

makes you rude. And then we had

12:00

somebody that says, hey, I'm 6'3", and

12:04

for you 5'7 fellows, I'm glad that you can

12:06

lean back or

12:08

something like that, but you're the rude one. And he called us

12:10

rude. And I was like, that's a lot. Okay, but you know what, those 6'3 fellows,

12:13

you could reach things that I can't. That's what I'm saying, like

12:15

this is a fair planet and this is my moment.

12:17

I gotta climb the shelves at Target, all right? It

12:20

all equals out. You could reach things that

12:22

I can't. And most tall folks

12:24

are leaning their chairs back. I bet

12:26

the majority of people lean them back than the ones who are upset.

12:30

I get that airplanes allow you to recline. However, I'm 6'3",

12:32

not by choice. I was born this way. Well, yeah,

12:34

okay, us too, man. What? You were

12:37

born

12:37

6'3", damn. Damn, dude, you're a hero.

12:39

My mother's

12:39

a hero. You better get her something nice on

12:41

Mother's Day. I understand the... This people are dragging while she's

12:44

pregnant. I understand the planes allow

12:46

you to lean back and I don't ever

12:48

complain. But if

12:51

you lean back in front of me... Except I'm

12:53

currently complaining. Except for this email. This is one

12:55

time. But if you lean back in front

12:57

of me, it jabs into my knees and makes me uncomfortable

13:00

the whole flight. I go first class or exit

13:02

lane when I can, but people leaning back is straight

13:04

up rude when a tall guy is behind you. I'm

13:07

glad you five, seven folks are comfortable leaning

13:10

back, but it's kind of messed up.

13:11

Thanks, all the love, John D. Now

13:14

listen, I'm supposed

13:16

to look back. I'm supposed to go like this and

13:18

go, excuse me, sir, how tall are you? How are your

13:20

legs? You're over six foot? Well, shoot,

13:22

I don't want to be rude and use the chair. I'm talking

13:24

about

13:26

as far as the contracts go to be aware

13:28

of your surroundings. Like other people have paid to be here

13:30

too and would like to enjoy the show. So you brought

13:33

your iPad to the show and you're now holding

13:35

it up. Your big iPad, like not the

13:38

mini. Your iPad.

13:39

Max Pro. Pro. I

13:43

saw that at the pageant. I've seen it too. Somebody,

13:46

I saw it in, I was up in the balcony

13:49

and somebody on the floor had

13:51

an iPad up, recording. You

13:54

were watching the show through the iPad screen because it

13:57

was that big. Your physical view, your reenactment.

14:00

It has your hands three feet apart like this, like you're

14:02

holding a banner. That's how big iPads are compared to this

14:04

show. Someone had their laptop open. Listen,

14:07

I told the story. I told the

14:09

story where Guns N' Roses

14:11

comes to the dome

14:12

first time since the riots. Yes.

14:15

And I made the mistake of getting

14:17

floor tickets.

14:19

Like I wanted to be on the floor at the

14:21

dome. I want to be as close to excellent

14:23

slashes I can. Yes. Because

14:26

this is a historical thing. Yeah.

14:30

Guns N' Roses back. And

14:32

my wife and I are not tall people. We are not

14:35

blessed with height. Right, like this guy. Six

14:38

foot. Yeah, my wife is five four. I'm

14:40

five seven,

14:41

depending on the position of the moon. Yeah,

14:44

you can't sit in the floor when you have Hobbit height.

14:47

Yeah, it's not good. So you cross

14:49

your fingers and go, I hope somebody tall doesn't

14:51

sit in front of me.

14:54

And somebody over six foot was in front of me. And

14:57

does that make them rude? No,

15:00

it does not. It does not because I could try to angle myself

15:02

to get.

15:03

So I had an aisle seat, so I tried to step out

15:05

in the aisle and the security was like, no, no,

15:07

no, no, no, no. Back in there.

15:10

This mother effer in front of me had

15:14

his phone above his head

15:16

the entire time. So not only was he watching

15:19

the show with his eyes, but he was also recording

15:21

the whole damn thing.

15:22

So he gave himself another

15:25

couple inches of height. You are

15:27

never gonna watch those videos. Never. Never.

15:30

You recorded the whole damn, every

15:33

song. Yeah, at best you're gonna put them

15:35

in a montage on TikTok. And it's gonna be

15:37

a second of it. That's at best. At best

15:39

you may send welcome to the jungle

15:41

to your buddy because, hey, I'm

15:43

here. But that's the, I think that is

15:45

the echo chamber stuff. Like everybody's recording

15:48

so they can,

15:49

for the receipt, the proof, look where

15:51

I am. Look what I'm doing. I'm gonna put

15:53

this on my Instagram. No one cares.

15:55

It's gonna be a low quality

15:58

video of actual screaming.

16:00

and people around you yelling, but it's

16:02

like it is this receipt of social

16:05

importance or Being

16:08

in your bubble of like look at my you know,

16:10

we've just that's what we've created with social media good

16:12

or bad I'm not saying it's bad. I like social

16:14

media. I'm on social media, but it's like that

16:17

is a direct result of that echo chamber

16:19

of the internet of like I had everyone

16:21

has to prove where I am put a time

16:23

stamp on it and Well,

16:26

that's like or they're hoping they're gonna get that viral video

16:28

actual is gonna fall off the stage or something crazy

16:30

is gonna happen And they're gonna go viral so

16:33

they'll record the whole I think maybe

16:35

in somebody's head

16:35

that go You know if I say Rafe,

16:38

I want the Guns N Roses and you say

16:40

to me. I

16:42

don't believe you I

16:45

don't believe you who would say that

16:48

Set long videos where it didn't happen I

16:50

like to have so like I've been journaling since I was a little

16:52

kid and like to me I look at social

16:55

media, especially like my personal Facebook

16:57

and even tick-tock. I use it as kind of like a visual

16:59

journal And so I

17:02

like to have the receipt just

17:04

for when I'm 85 like the old lady

17:06

in Titanic like looking back at my pictures

17:08

Like sure she brought all those picture frames to

17:10

the boat Whatever she was talking about Titanic

17:12

like I'm gonna have all these you know photo

17:14

albums that are important to me I really don't care

17:17

if anybody likes it.

17:18

I like it and I just want to be like this

17:20

is my Incredible life that like

17:24

I'm at this show it like or this is what

17:26

my April looked like like this is incredible

17:28

I don't know so for me It's like a very selfish

17:30

thing but I totally understand what you're

17:32

saying about the echo chamber about personality

17:35

wise like

17:36

and if you can't go out I can still go

17:38

outside Of myself and go I'm gonna think

17:40

of somebody else like even the six foot three guy

17:43

who might be sitting behind me I mean, I'm not saying

17:45

I've ever done this But maybe now I'll have the wherewithal since

17:47

we're having this conversation To look behind

17:49

me whenever I'm flying next and at

17:51

least have the cognizance of saying Oh,

17:54

there's a seven foot tall dude behind me who's

17:56

maybe 400 pounds. I'm

17:58

gonna try and just not make his

17:59

life even worse on this little metal

18:02

tube we're all flying in. You know what I'm saying? Even

18:05

having the conversation makes us

18:07

a little bit better. But I think you're a polite person.

18:09

I think there's a time in the... Get the receipt. For

18:12

instance, when I opened for Tammy on

18:14

the road,

18:15

her fans are crazy. They... And

18:18

he's talking about Trello trash, too. Yeah. Her fans

18:20

love her. And she will come out and she will

18:22

say...

18:24

She'll get on the mic backstage and be like,

18:26

no, don't have your phones out. Don't be

18:29

recording. If every everybody

18:30

can follow this rule at the end of the show,

18:34

I'll put you on my Snapchat.

18:36

You guys can all get your phones out. We'll have a communal

18:38

moment on social media together. And they're

18:40

every single show.

18:44

At least 10 people refuse. They

18:46

get caught with their phones out. She has

18:48

to stop the show, ask them to stop recording, and

18:50

it messes up what she's doing. And it's like... It's

18:53

like there's always those people that are like, well, she's not talking

18:55

to me. Or they

18:57

don't care. They just want

18:59

what they want.

19:00

And even though she set up a moment

19:03

to be like, I'm going to give you the thing you want. I'm going to give

19:05

you the receipt, the TikTok, the Instagram, whatever

19:07

you need. That's what Tool does. Tool did that at their last concert.

19:09

Like, hey,

19:10

because they were very strict about phones.

19:13

Definitely. Tool was very... In fact, if

19:15

they saw you with a phone out,

19:17

like security would just come with their flashlight and just

19:19

point it right. You

19:20

know, point you out. So at the end of

19:22

their set,

19:24

I believe during the song, Stink Fist,

19:27

lead singer Tool goes, all right,

19:30

you jerks. I may have

19:32

added that part. All right, you dicks.

19:35

I may have added that part too. This is

19:37

the part you take out your phone and this

19:39

is the song you can record and put on your

19:41

TikTok and Instagram. Justin,

19:44

great point. If it's that important to record

19:46

a show,

19:47

get a GoPro and just strap it to your head.

19:49

That's

19:51

a great idea. Get a GoPro and

19:54

strap it to your head. Get a little microphone boom mic,

19:56

tiny one and hold it up.

19:58

Yeah. There's always... like

20:00

time for a selfie or time for the

20:03

person behind you to take a photo. It's

20:06

the people that are recording like the whole

20:08

time that I'm just like, come on,

20:10

man. Yeah. Like pick your

20:12

spot. Like my whole thing

20:15

is you're never, never. It's like people who record fireworks.

20:17

I'm like, who's that? So we're brought up that point to like who

20:20

records fireworks. Who is that for? Yeah. It

20:22

doesn't translate on the video. I

20:24

understand. I understand the pool. You've

20:27

got it too. I guarantee we're all guilty that

20:29

for some reason there's some pull out

20:32

your phones and I think on your iPhone you could type

20:34

in fireworks. There's some weird cosmic.

20:36

There's some weird cosmic

20:38

pull to that. I see. I don't think the video

20:40

part is the thing that I get upset. I get upset with

20:42

the loud talkers. I'm somebody who, when

20:45

I go to a show, I don't want

20:47

to be taught like 13 photos.

20:48

Loser.

20:52

No, what a hypocrite. I just don't

20:54

like, I'll take like somebody

20:57

like I'll see somebody at a show and I'll let's see.

20:59

Oh, I haven't seen you so long. Let's see him right here. And

21:01

they want to visit the entire time during

21:03

this show and

21:04

I don't want to be rude. And so I'm like trying

21:07

to oblige and then I have to just, I have

21:09

to leave. I have to like move out of the way or

21:11

like get away from this person. I can't stand

21:13

loud talkers or somebody who's behind me

21:16

who just won't shut the hell up. Yeah.

21:19

It's like go in the lobby, get the hell

21:21

out of here. It

21:23

drives me nuts. I saw a video of this at

21:25

a Taylor Swift concert, the screeching

21:29

off key singers who want to sing every

21:31

word you can't even, and

21:33

dude, I don't know what people are paying for

21:35

T-Swift tickets, but I know it's a lot. And

21:38

this girl was so mad. She posted a video

21:40

of this girl in front of her and she was drunk

21:42

and literally screeching. It

21:44

was so unsettling. Screeching

21:47

every lyric off key for the whole concert and

21:49

refused to stop. And like everyone around her was

21:51

like, we hate you. We can't hear Taylor.

21:54

You're screeching the lyrics. You're stumbling

21:56

security. You know, technically she's not breaking any

21:59

rules.

21:59

And it's like you being disruptive. Um,

22:02

that's the bubble though. It's like I'm here for

22:04

me and one of

22:07

One of my most vivid memories

22:09

of going to a comedy show

22:11

was back in This

22:13

had have been oh three. Oh for Dave Chappelle

22:15

height of the Chappelle show. Oh, yeah

22:18

played the pageant

22:19

Dave Chappelle at the pageant

22:21

again. This is Rick James bitch all that stuff

22:23

like

22:24

all those catchphrases crazy Um, you

22:26

know, I'm rich for a couple years like he

22:28

couldn't do shows So

22:31

pageant Dave Chappelle People

22:35

just wouldn't stop talking Weird

22:39

people wouldn't stop talking And

22:43

we were the other rate like we were the other radio station people

22:45

we're open that stupid VIP box up there

22:48

and I'm like Will you all shut the hell

22:50

up? I actually went and moved so I could

22:52

listen to the show Because

22:54

people did it's a comedy show Well

22:57

that and that show people were yelling out like to

23:00

Chappelle. Oh, yeah, and he might have walked

23:02

off the stage I don't blame him that happened for

23:04

a couple years. I saw him in Carbondale same thing like

23:07

frat bros Just yelling

23:09

catchphrases from the Chappelle show at him while

23:11

he's trying to do while he was trying to do a

23:13

reindeer People yelling Charlie Murphy,

23:15

you know what he's like He

23:18

eventually just quit he had a girl come up and

23:20

some girl had like a demo CD of her

23:23

rep and he just put it on You

23:25

get up here. He was gonna go

23:27

ahead. They're not listening to me. Go ahead and he

23:29

was awful The only way you could have got

23:32

he could have gotten

23:34

Past that is what he did was to literally

23:36

just go away for years Because

23:38

if he would have continued on that road of

23:41

the Chappelle show and just continuously touring

23:43

He never would have gotten away from the from

23:46

the I'm Rick James all the all

23:48

those catchphrases people People

23:51

yelling at him. I Mean, I guess

23:53

he did it right took a gamble went to South Africa.

23:55

Yeah Was it South

23:57

Africa just Africa? Well South Africa

24:00

is Africa. I wasn't specifically

24:03

South Africa. I don't know.

24:05

I just got the hell out of here

24:07

and went away. Interesting guy, smart guy. But

24:11

listen, now everybody's got a camera

24:14

with them. People

24:16

are snapping pictures. I think back to Guns N'

24:18

Roses, back on the right, the

24:20

dude out there with a regular camera.

24:23

Stunt. With a regular camera in the front

24:25

row, an axle jumps in the crowd to grab

24:27

it from him because security wouldn't stop him. But

24:30

when was the last time you actually opened up a photo

24:32

album? Oh, last week. Last

24:34

week? Hell yeah. I got tons

24:36

of them at home and I was looking for my prom picture. So I

24:39

was going through and going back

24:41

in time. That is my favorite thing to do. I mean,

24:43

I've always just loved photos. I have a ton of them at

24:46

home, physically printed out. I still

24:48

like get them done at Walgreens every now and then just

24:50

certain ones I love. Yeah. Thank

24:52

you. Still like you.

24:55

I mean, they're obviously old. Yes.

24:57

Like I got my dad when my dad was in the Vietnam

24:59

War. He he took a bunch

25:01

of pictures while he was in the service. And so

25:03

I have this incredible 1970s. I'll bring it in sometime

25:08

and show you guys this incredible

25:10

photo album of his time in

25:12

the army and then over in Vietnam.

25:15

And I just you know, it's so cool

25:17

to just look back at his 18 and he had the wherewithal

25:21

to actually take photos at that time. You know,

25:24

like it's him in his bunker. You're like with

25:26

his you know, with his dog tags on and he's got

25:28

like naked boobied women's up on the wall

25:30

and like, you know, women women. Yes. Most

25:32

women are women. So no, I love

25:34

looking

25:37

at photos for

25:39

sure. Now, did you do you have the photo

25:41

albums that had the sticky background or you had to put

25:43

the corners like the sticky background

25:46

and then you put the sheet the sheet over

25:48

it. Yeah, like we have. I mean, we're

25:50

the Vietnam picks Polaroids. Some of them

25:53

were some about a Polaroid man.

25:55

It's still a cool photo.

25:57

It is something about the depth

26:00

and the way the light hits people. My

26:02

daughter's still using them. Tell me the pictures, I look good at. My

26:04

daughter's still using them. I have a couple in the Jeep from

26:07

last weekend. Yeah. It's tough to find

26:09

the film though, isn't it? Or you could buy it still. It's pretty

26:11

much everywhere. It's everywhere, but it ain't cheap.

26:13

Oh man, it's a dollar a slide.

26:15

Pretty much. No, my wife and I first got together,

26:19

you know, living in Manhattan, you know,

26:22

our friend group. There was always a camera. Somebody always

26:24

had like a decent camera on them. So we

26:26

got

26:27

all these binders worth of pictures. You

26:30

know, you see that.

26:32

You see those, if I see a photo

26:34

album, it kind of brings me back to,

26:37

you know, 20 plus years ago. Definitely. When

26:39

somebody walking around with a Nikon camera. Remember Nikon

26:41

was a... Yep. Yep. That's

26:43

a nice one. Paul Simon song. Remember, did you ever go to

26:45

a wedding in the 90s where instead of having

26:48

a photographer, they put disposable cameras on each

26:50

table and then they'd have like the guests

26:53

take photos. My mom and stepdad did that for their

26:55

wedding. Incredible photos, because you get it from

26:57

the different perspectives of every guest. And

27:00

then you're not getting a regular photographer. And some

27:02

people stole the cameras and developed them themselves.

27:04

Like they would turn the camera... Oh yeah, you're supposed to

27:06

hand those in. Oh, and speaking of that, and

27:09

I brought up cameras for this. So

27:12

I don't know, did you have a wedding photographer? I

27:14

did. Did you remember how much it cost? Very

27:16

expensive, yes. Very,

27:19

I don't remember exactly, but in the thousands. In the

27:21

thousands, Scott. I mean, I guess... Yeah,

27:23

we had one, thankfully it was my brother-in-law.

27:26

So he... Oh, that's right. I

27:28

don't know if we paid him or not. I think he just volunteered.

27:31

Did he take pictures of his computer screen

27:33

on your Zoom? Yes, that's what he did. No, I

27:35

know he was there, right? Screen capture, screen capture. Yeah,

27:38

he was there, because what happened is he

27:40

was in the wedding and then

27:43

everything went chaotic. So then he became

27:45

our photographer all of a sudden. And

27:47

then he ran the video as well. So all the video we

27:49

see, he was the one running and doing all that. What if he

27:51

was expecting payment and he sent your bill to collections?

27:56

I hope so.

27:58

We pay him. And

28:00

I don't remember how much we paid

28:03

a photographer for our wedding. Do you remember

28:05

how much? Man, I want to say it was like two

28:07

grand, 2,500 bucks or something like that. It could go between

28:09

a thousand and $10,000. It can. Yeah,

28:12

I want to say ours was... It's the price you get. Probably upwards

28:14

of 2,000. But remember, we made her trek all over

28:16

the place.

28:17

Your photos from your wedding are gorgeous. We were going

28:19

all over the national forest. So we were making her like...

28:22

And she came... I think she came from Wisconsin or

28:24

someplace. So she drove like hours and hours to get

28:26

there.

28:27

And then we're like, hey, happy to be here. Let's

28:29

get some photos here. And then we're going to go

28:31

a hundred miles this way into the forest and go

28:33

to this spot. And then another 40 miles of this

28:35

spot. So you know, we kind of...

28:38

Do you have a wedding album?

28:40

I assume. Yeah. That's

28:43

like we paid for a wedding album. Like a physical. Yeah.

28:47

Like a coffee table book. I go, what the

28:48

hell? We're going to use this more. So

28:51

throughout the day, you know, we paid a couple hundred or

28:53

a couple of grand too. And that was the most important

28:55

thing for our wedding for me. I was like, it was probably our

28:57

biggest expense. Yeah.

28:58

It's funny to me about that. Why?

29:02

Everybody pays a lot of money for like their wedding videos

29:05

and the only time you're going to watch

29:07

that is if you get divorced or

29:09

your spouse dies. That's like the only time in

29:11

the movies you see somebody watching a wedding video. Oh,

29:13

the video. And the kids. It's like a

29:15

guy smoking a cigarette living in a one bedroom apartment. Like

29:18

tears running down his face. I

29:21

watched it every

29:22

anniversary for a while. I don't watch it. Oh,

29:24

that's cute. You did? Yeah. I

29:27

was like, oh, I'm going to be doing the Christmas video. Yeah,

29:30

exactly. Yeah, they're for kids. We got like

29:32

a book.

29:32

A little book of proofs. No,

29:35

it's like it looks like a coffee table book. Yeah.

29:38

Of like, it's very

29:41

nice. And I go, what is it? It's

29:43

very nice. Why? What do you mean?

29:45

It's beautiful. What do you, you don't like it? I guess

29:47

one day maybe somebody will open an honor. That's your Vietnam pictures.

29:50

I guess so. Yeah. It's

29:52

your nom. I guess so. Your kids will be

29:54

like, I got pictures of my dad. Moon's probably right. It's

29:56

for you. It's for your kids. It's

29:58

not really for your kids. No, I'm curious as to what. what it cost

30:00

me because I don't even know. Maybe don't even ask.

30:03

Your dad probably has it right now. Maybe it'll

30:05

make you mad.

30:07

But it's pricey. Yeah. But

30:09

images can last a lifetime or so you'd

30:11

think. So there's this thing going viral.

30:13

So a photographer got a text from a woman

30:16

whose wedding he shot back in 2019.

30:19

That was an age ago,

30:21

wasn't it?

30:24

And the photographer says and he remembers

30:26

his wedding when I delivered the final edit

30:28

to the photographs in the video with a couple very happy

30:30

with my work.

30:33

And he says the bride herself specifically

30:36

told me how much she loved everything.

30:39

Yeah.

30:40

Now there's a problem.

30:42

Four years later. So

30:44

the photographer actually posted the exchange

30:47

he had with this former bride. Oh,

30:50

no.

30:51

She writes, I know you don't.

30:53

I don't know if you still remember me. You did a photo

30:55

shoot for me at my wedding in 2019. Well,

30:58

I'm divorced

31:00

and those pictures.

31:01

Dash, dash, dash. I and my ex-husband

31:04

don't need them anymore.

31:05

You did a wonderful job on them. But

31:09

they went to waste

31:10

as we are now divorced.

31:12

And then this woman, case in point,

31:15

and this woman. Yes, you. I'm. Yes.

31:17

I know what's happening. What is she going to do? She

31:19

wants a refund. She wants a refund. How

31:22

dare her. Oh, my God.

31:23

That's not how this works. That's not how this works. Guys,

31:26

guys. Guys, let's hear her out.

31:28

OK, OK. What's the rest of the message?

31:30

You're right. You're right. You're right. I'm

31:33

jumping in. She asked for a full refund

31:35

because, quote, we don't need them anymore.

31:37

And the photographer and this is all in the sex exchange.

31:41

He goes, is this a joke? And

31:44

then she assured him that it's not. Oh,

31:47

my gosh. And he quickly shuts

31:49

down any world in which a refund would be granted

31:51

by saying, I can't refund you because I

31:54

can't untake pictures. Right.

31:56

I would write you dope, but he didn't. This

32:01

woman did not take no for an

32:03

answer. Oh no. I get

32:05

committed. She says I am entitled

32:09

to demand a refund as

32:11

I'm no longer in need of your pictures. I

32:14

understand it's not your fault,

32:16

but you are a business and as such

32:19

you must be able to grant refunds. That's

32:21

not how this works. Yep. I

32:23

see why she's divorced. That's exactly. You

32:26

know who I pity here the most? Is the

32:28

husband who's probably in court right

32:30

now arguing over who knows what. He'll

32:33

chime in later. Who knows? He will chime

32:35

in later. Oh no. Don't tell me. He's

32:38

in the story. I like you to introduce new characters.

32:42

Maybe they found out they were meant for each other through

32:44

this whole process of emailing the photographer. Right.

32:47

Dude, this is a gal that read when she was like 11 years

32:49

old, the customer was always right, and then got it in

32:52

her head

32:52

that, oh, businesses

32:54

have to do whatever the customer wants.

32:57

Yeah. We've been flying through

32:59

these rules for the last couple years here, especially

33:01

after 2020, businesses really had to change their

33:03

rules, and customers didn't like

33:06

that. Oh no. She's

33:08

talking at the comedy show and singing at the concert.

33:10

I promise you. Hell

33:12

yes she is. Yeah. I mean, can you ... I

33:14

mean, getting a refund for permits. Once she gets kicked out, like they kicked us

33:16

out just for laughing. That's what

33:18

everybody says when they get kicked out of a comedy show when they talk and disrupt

33:21

and throw beer bottles, and they'll be like ... Then

33:24

you'll see the review online and be like, they kicked us out

33:26

for laughing. They kicked me out

33:28

of a comedy show for having fun. Nah. I

33:30

was having too much fun. I was there. This

33:32

is a one-way conversation. You're not supposed to talk back to the

33:34

comic, baby. Who would

33:35

get back to it? I can't wait until the husband comes back. So another

33:37

refusal from the photographer. He

33:39

goes, no, this is not how this

33:42

works.

33:44

She goes, well, I

33:46

guess we'll have to get the lawyers involved. Oh, okay. Yeah,

33:48

please do. Bring it on. What

33:51

lawyer took this case is what I want to know. Right. I'm

33:53

sure you're going to get it. Oh, the lawyer will come into another ... Oh

33:55

my gosh. Wow.

33:57

It's her ex-husband. And

34:00

the photographer, when she said, my

34:03

lawyer will be in touch, he says, yeah,

34:07

probably that's best. That's

34:09

best we get the lawyers involved.

34:11

And I applaud this man for knowing

34:15

when to fold him. No one to hold him, no one

34:17

to fold him. He folded him. Because

34:20

obviously this woman is such a dummy that

34:23

anything he says will not get

34:25

through to her. So why waste another

34:28

breath or thought

34:30

on this text exchange with a woman

34:33

who will clearly

34:34

not get it.

34:35

Yes. You wanna get the lawyers involved?

34:38

Fine,

34:39

let's get the, maybe it's best we get the lawyers

34:41

involved.

34:42

So

34:45

he says, when I got the text asking for a refund,

34:48

while I thought I was being pranked, she couldn't possibly

34:50

be for real, no way. He says, the

34:53

more we spoke, the more it dawned on me that no,

34:55

this woman is serious. And

34:58

was in fact convinced that she deserved and

35:00

is entitled to refund because she's divorced.

35:02

By the way, at the time of the wedding, he did

35:05

say how much he charged her. He charged

35:07

her initially 812 bucks, which

35:09

was eventually negotiated down to 650. Oh,

35:12

wow.

35:12

Wow. What a bargain.

35:16

So he shared that initial

35:18

exchange that they had online. Like,

35:20

can you believe this?

35:23

And a lawyer representing the bride did

35:26

contact him.

35:28

And he says, it's funny because the

35:31

lawyer and him

35:31

had a laugh about the whole thing over

35:34

the phone. Even the lawyer thought it was ridiculous. This

35:36

is probably a family lawyer. I don't know what this woman's

35:38

situation is financially,

35:41

but maybe she's got this guy in retainer. Maybe

35:43

she's a litigious person. He's probably

35:46

a friend or an uncle or something. Like, all right, I guess I'll

35:48

make a call for you.

35:51

And the photographer and the lawyer laughed.

35:54

They

35:55

laughed over him.

35:57

He assured me that I have nothing to worry about

35:59

This is not a case. So

36:03

this guy puts this out over 350,000 views

36:07

on his exchange, the

36:10

woman's ex-husband now. Oh boy. He

36:14

hears about

36:16

the attempt at a refund

36:17

and he contacts the photographer. He goes,

36:19

man,

36:21

this is embarrassing.

36:23

Can you please, can you

36:26

please not put her name

36:28

out there? Because her

36:30

name is my last name. Oh, he has attached to him. Because

36:32

they have been married for four years. That's a reasonable request.

36:36

Can you please,

36:37

like yes, this woman is a psycho,

36:40

this is why we're getting divorced.

36:42

And the goodness of your heart, please

36:46

not say her name. I hope that the photographer

36:48

and this guy, is the photographer a man or a

36:50

woman? The photographer's a man. I

36:52

hope those guys go and have a nice

36:55

beer after all these battles. Everybody's

36:57

friends over here. With

36:59

the lawyer. That's nice, she's making friends for everybody. I

37:01

hope he gave the guy a free

37:05

photo shoot. Just go out and

37:07

him having a good time without her. That'd

37:09

be awesome. Recreate all the photos with

37:12

empty space where she was.

37:14

Professional tender photos taken.

37:17

The husband says, I apologize on

37:19

her behalf. Nice guy. Nice

37:21

guy. He did sincerely

37:23

apologize and the photographer's like,

37:27

I'm not gonna put any personal info out there.

37:29

And he says after speaking to both partners of

37:31

the former couple, he says that he would

37:33

have been happy to issue a refund

37:35

after delivering the photos

37:38

if either had not liked them, but

37:41

not after four whole years. Yeah,

37:43

that's past. Her

37:46

marriage falling apart is not the photographers

37:48

fault. Man, if she's going

37:50

for that, what else is she doing? She got like a board

37:52

or something on her wall and she's just budgeting going, okay,

37:55

where can I save money? Where can I get money

37:57

back? And it's just checking

37:59

off. A psycholist? Like, I mean,

38:02

what else is she doing? I mean, who even thinks

38:04

about this? Gotta give her that. That's creative.

38:07

Four years old, a transaction

38:10

that was closed up four years ago. How

38:13

do I get my money back there? What else is she

38:15

doing? She going back into

38:15

Kohl's and asking for something from six years ago?

38:18

I don't know. What's she gonna do when she finds out Bed Bath and

38:20

Beyond is closing, you know?

38:22

She's the reason. Oh, man. That's gonna

38:24

be a nightmare for us all. She's got so many refunds. Can you sue

38:26

a company that's no longer open? Yes,

38:28

Scott, you can. Okay. Dude,

38:30

that's what I'm saying. Like, I wanna know more. I

38:33

wanna know more. What else is she doing?

38:36

What is on that

38:36

list? The debaggery is just terrible.

38:39

KB on Twitter says, my photographer at our

38:41

reception, four and a 25 bucks an hour. Damn.

38:45

Yeah. You know what though, even going back to like,

38:47

if you, and I don't know what

38:49

the rules are and I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I got a lot of photography

38:52

friends, so they will text. But it's,

38:54

what is, like, even if the

38:57

wedding photos came back and I was

38:59

like,

38:59

there were a couple of bad photos in there. How

39:02

do you get your money back from a photographer

39:04

when they're literally just capturing the

39:07

ambiance and the event? Like,

39:10

to me, and again, I'm not trying to,

39:12

I'm sure there are refunds and discounts or whatever,

39:14

but like,

39:15

what do you do there? Like, you can't go back and redo the

39:17

wedding. Well, I mean, if the

39:19

photos are blurry,

39:21

if your photographer missed major

39:23

events,

39:24

yeah, like, all right, we're, you know, Tim

39:27

and Lauren are gonna cut the cake. Where's

39:29

the photographer? Nowhere

39:31

to, but see, even, even that, like, I look

39:34

back at my wedding photos and like,

39:36

they were great. Was every

39:38

little moment captured? Maybe not, like,

39:41

you know, there could have been more dancing photos, but

39:43

hey, they're a beautiful, I had at least 10

39:46

that I absolutely loved. I mean, I even have my wedding

39:48

photo on my backdrop and my phone.

39:50

Oh, man. Wait, wait, wait,

39:52

wait, I do too. Do you really? Oh, man.

39:55

Isn't that weird that I have learned Tim on the background of my

39:57

phone? That's awesome, yeah. Yeah, see,

39:59

look, look, look. The photographer was. Oh, that's

40:01

great. So cute. So

40:03

cute. My friends did like a tag team of photographer

40:06

and they put polaroid, like the old thing you were

40:08

talking about, but they put polaroid cameras on every...

40:10

I love that. ...table and there were albums,

40:13

so at the end of the night, people would take polaroids

40:15

and they

40:16

took it home that night to look at.

40:18

Very cool. That's cool. Well,

40:20

it is wedding season.

40:21

Does anybody have any weddings coming up that they're

40:23

going to? None, huh? You're smiling.

40:26

I don't think so. You're smiling too. Yeah.

40:29

I'm not going to doubt. I

40:31

got one in May. I

40:33

guess you got one coming out? Yeah, one in,

40:35

I believe it's July, and then

40:37

another one in

40:39

August, I think.

40:40

I don't know why people think weddings are unbearable.

40:43

I enjoy going to them, but there was some

40:45

magazine came up with a list of, quote

40:47

unquote, new rules to make weddings

40:49

a little less unbearable. They said,

40:51

okay, these new rules,

40:54

no more engagement parties,

40:57

no outdoor summer weddings,

40:59

those can be brutal. Those can be

41:02

brutal. For everybody, Brian. I had a

41:04

buddy that got married in Phoenix in August. What,

41:06

outside? No, it was inside, thank God. But

41:10

if you live in Phoenix, what was you? If

41:13

you live in Phoenix, why would you ever

41:15

expect people to come to that hellhole?

41:18

What do you mean, man? I mean, air

41:20

conditioning, cars, air conditioning,

41:23

buildings, what is wrong with you?

41:25

Phoenix. Phoenix in August? It's

41:28

hell. It is hell hot.

41:30

Yeah, if you're playing football outside, you're

41:32

in a way. You have to walk outside. I'm

41:35

not used to the heat. It's

41:38

a dry heat. No, I've

41:40

been to an outdoor summer wedding where,

41:43

yeah, it's a nice backdrop, but everybody, you know, you got

41:45

a suit on. Yeah. Where you got

41:47

a suit on, everybody's

41:49

got long sleeves. Makeup is in your

41:52

cleavage mess. That's

41:54

the only time a guy has the disadvantage

41:57

as far as what they're wearing. That's the only time.

42:00

That's the only time a man has a disadvantage. I give it

42:02

to you ladies, with the

42:04

makeup and the complicated things. Outdoor

42:07

summer wedding for a guy wearing a suit, it sucks.

42:10

Yeah. That's always funny too, because

42:12

you're sweating like crazy because you're in a suit

42:15

and then the date you have is

42:17

freezing because the AC's on. You're like,

42:19

this is my turn. This is my moment. Yeah.

42:22

Me need AC. I do love me.

42:25

I do love me an outdoor fall,

42:27

midwestern wedding. October,

42:31

I mean, if you hit it right, which is obvious. Maybe

42:33

a little nip in the air, a little bit. Just a little

42:35

bit. Like I said, you know, I mean, usually the

42:37

dresses aren't like super summery by that point anyway.

42:39

So everybody's pretty comfortable. There's

42:42

leaves around. It's beautiful.

42:43

Everybody's happy. I could be outside.

42:46

Ha ha. When did you get married?

42:48

October? 2020, October, yeah. We got

42:51

married November 1st. It was like right on the back end

42:53

of fall, right? I

42:55

mean, it was, it was perfect. It was so

42:57

nice. They say no kids. Yes.

43:00

We had no kids. We had a no kids rule

43:02

for our wedding, except our flower

43:04

girl was our niece and our ring

43:07

bearer was our nephew. Well, then that's not a

43:09

no kids rule. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.

43:11

She's right. She's right. If kids

43:14

are needed for the ceremony, yeah,

43:16

don't even shut the car off for them.

43:18

No. Get them out of here. Get them in, get

43:20

them out. Get them in, get them out. And then we did. They

43:23

were, I mean, they made it to the reception, had dinner, but then

43:25

the minute the rap music

43:27

started, grandma and grandpa got

43:29

them out of there, which was the right thing to do. Get them

43:31

out of here. No, I,

43:34

and that was, I, trust me, I got a lot of pushback

43:36

for that, for our wedding. For what? For

43:39

what? For no kids. Yeah, sorry to interrupt you. That's

43:41

okay. Parents get really

43:44

mad about that. They do. I have seen people

43:46

like boycott weddings because they're mad that it's

43:48

a no kid wedding. And hey, we were cool. We're like, hey,

43:50

if you can't make it because you can't get sitter or whatever, that's

43:52

all right. We invited them anyway, and it was

43:54

up to them to make that choice.

43:55

Yeah, that's up to you. Yeah. Yeah.

43:58

So did the, one of the parents. came to

44:01

the actual ceremony and then the other parent

44:04

came to the recession. That was great.

44:07

Get him out of here. We

44:09

had the new cat deal. What?

44:12

Is that rock, paper, scissors? Like, oh, who gets it?

44:14

I get to go, yeah, yeah, reception.

44:16

You gotta go to the ceremony, I get to go to the reception.

44:20

I'm actually, my friends are getting married in a couple of weeks

44:22

and I'm looking forward to it because they've already gotten married.

44:24

This is like, they're doing the whole like,

44:27

they eloped. Okay. They

44:29

announced a thing like a year ago. This is just

44:31

the celebration. So there's no

44:34

ceremony.

44:35

It's just a party and they hired a.

44:38

Minikiss, that's awesome. Dude, they hired Vance

44:40

Kelly from Kingston Mines in Chicago

44:43

from Blues Alley. They hired like a blues band

44:45

from Chicago that's coming down to play live. It's

44:47

gonna be dope. That's sweet.

44:50

That's cool. Speeches must be

44:52

pre-written. Is

44:54

what they say. I don't know, I like it off the cuff. I was gonna

44:56

say, now my most memorable ones that I've

44:58

seen have definitely been off the cuff. If

45:01

they were scripted, they shouldn't have been allowed.

45:04

Man, it was one that was just a classic. Classic.

45:07

It's always a classic when you bring up the exes

45:10

of the people getting married.

45:13

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's

45:15

when you, I sit

45:17

up and go, whoo. This is gonna be good. I

45:20

do like a drunken off the cuff, on

45:22

a razor's edge speech.

45:24

I love it. Give me that. You guys been

45:26

in one of those? Where like, whoever the best man is or

45:29

whoever's, what is it, the bridesmaid, is

45:32

standing up and starts it off with, oh,

45:34

I was so happy that you two got together. Cause

45:36

you know, when so and so was with so and so,

45:39

you just go,

45:40

oh, here we go, dude. Here we

45:42

go. Woo hoo.

45:43

I never loved this. You guys ever have to be

45:46

best man? Oh yeah. Yeah. Did

45:48

you write a speech out or did you

45:50

wing it? Couple times winged

45:52

it. For my brother, I wrote

45:54

it out. Nailed

45:57

it. I'm sure you did. Mine was a combo.

46:00

I wrote it out got really comfortable with

46:02

it and pretty much delivered just that but

46:05

I also you know kind of added some things You nailed

46:07

all of them.

46:08

No Just

46:10

the written one. Yeah, just how did the off-the-cuff

46:12

ones go for you? I Give

46:17

myself a B. All right B

46:20

maybe B minus B.

46:22

That's including the wedding you crashed or

46:24

uh

46:26

The speech you gave speech I gave at that

46:28

one was I don't remember that one Oh,

46:31

no, I was told to get off the stage, but

46:33

my brother's man. I cried like a baby. Oh God I

46:37

had to be removed

46:39

from the room Is

46:44

your baby, yeah, and you were

46:46

so happy for him and there's a whole

46:48

mix of emotions That's why he'd be able

46:50

to get married

46:52

Yeah, my cousin had to physically

46:55

remove me from the room Emotions

46:58

my father passed away My

47:01

you know my okay, you know my brother, you know

47:03

47:13

it was no it was it was a mixture of emotions

47:15

great plus I was so happy You

47:22

47:23

I would oh man.

47:25

I did not pace myself that day Why

47:29

not your brother's getting married yeah party

47:31

time

47:32

Yeah, yeah,

47:34

I wanted to loosen up a little bit And

47:37

I was nervous about the speech. I Was

47:41

nervous

47:42

so I loosened up a bit too much

47:45

Like you know at the wedding party, you know you go around

47:47

you take the pictures and then they put the wedding party

47:51

In a separate holding room, right?

47:53

So you do the ceremony the church was a big church wedding And

47:56

then you go around you take the pictures

47:58

all around town

47:59

and then they put the wedding party in a holding

48:02

room before the reception, which is a terrible

48:04

idea.

48:05

It's a grand entrance. And

48:08

the wedding, you know, the holding room is just... Booze.

48:11

Booze. Yeah.

48:13

Booze and like a couple finger sandwiches,

48:15

that's it.

48:18

And man, you just, one thing

48:20

leads to another. Next

48:23

thing you know, you're, you know,

48:25

a bottle of vodka in.

48:27

What? Yep. Oh

48:29

man, do you want to talk about hungover the next day? Oof.

48:34

The next day was my mother-in-law's 60th birthday

48:36

party. Oh no. Wow.

48:39

What a weekend.

48:40

So my brother's wedding was on the Saturday.

48:43

We had to go meet my mother-in-law for

48:45

her 60th birthday the next day. And they

48:48

were having a big brunch. I

48:50

had thrown up all over the entire

48:52

hotel room. Gettin'

48:55

me the week of sleep.

48:56

I had to go apologize to people the

48:59

next day. Oh, you did that? Oh yeah. Well,

49:01

at least they were all gathered more place. I had to do

49:03

the apology tour at the breakfast

49:06

the next, you know, like the wedding breakfast for everybody.

49:09

Hey listen, I'm sorry if I said anything last time. I probably

49:12

did. Oh, sorry about

49:14

that. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

49:17

Actually, it's coming back to me now. I'm really sorry. It

49:19

was a disaster. Really sorry. I

49:23

didn't mean that. I had

49:25

to hang my head out of the window like a

49:27

dog, driving from the

49:32

wherever my mother-in-law's. Man.

49:34

49:37

out there? Oh, that'd be wonderful.

49:38

49:42

to see what the truth versus your recollection

49:49

Oh, dude. Hey, no doubt. Okay.

49:51

No doubt. Well, put your money where

49:53

49:58

doubt. tour. It

50:02

was the event after

50:06

afterwards. Did you any like planned like

50:08

not jokes but like gags

50:11

you know any like singers yeah like

50:14

I did in one of them I did a I did a

50:16

gag and it worked well

50:17

I see I'd seen it before and I like

50:20

kind of like spiced it up made a little bit different the

50:22

keys the key gag yeah the key yeah that

50:24

one awesome good one it's great

50:26

so you basically say

50:28

you know

50:29

you basically act like you're leading into

50:32

the gonna bring up the exes right thing so

50:34

everybody gets real tense real weird

50:36

there's hundreds hundreds

50:38

of people here you go listen my brother

50:42

you know it's about time

50:44

he settled down I didn't think he'd ever do it you

50:47

know but I'm really proud of him and

50:49

I figure you know this is a really difficult

50:52

scenario

50:52

but there's no better place to do

50:55

this than right here when everybody that pretty

50:57

much knows him is gathered together so listen if

51:00

I can have all the ladies

51:02

that Clark had been with before just bring

51:04

up your keys you know so we can all collect

51:06

your keys so you know his wife doesn't feel

51:08

uncomfortable but having all these keys out there and

51:10

then 80 year old lady stands

51:13

up and then another old lady stands up and then all

51:16

the old gals in the

51:18

in the in the scene you know start bringing up

51:20

keys slapped your brother in the

51:24

face and walked out thing

51:27

as a good guy what if that was and

51:31

you had no idea and they were just getting

51:33

over that they

51:36

just walk through

51:37

well then it would have been even funnier

51:39

I did the opposite of that oh what

51:42

did you I did

51:43

all men the bride and every

51:46

dude tossed a key I

51:48

took it out of my pocket threw it in and then I'm

51:50

like all right now everybody for my

51:52

buddy I had one old lady come up just

51:56

drop one key in his bucket look at you guys

51:58

with a right okay

51:59

I didn't I didn't spring this on

52:02

the brain. Yeah, I tell you I don't remember if I got

52:04

it Okay, I cleared it with her cuz

52:06

I was like I'm not trying to paint you in like

52:08

a bad light But I just want to make fun of him. Right? Right.

52:10

It's a classic gag

52:13

That's a good one. I pulled that one off. I liked it

52:16

A-plus for your speech It's

52:19

I mean, I don't really remember but I

52:21

don't remember it being bad. So that's a good That's

52:25

a good sign I've had some good ones. I've been a best man

52:27

quite a few times

52:29

I think it's cuz I threw a good party back in the day.

52:31

I think I got a lot of I Don't

52:33

know that is I was the best friend as much as

52:35

they were like this guy's gonna throw the bachelor party

52:38

I want. Yeah That's

52:41

fun,

52:42

I kind of want to know this I've never been married

52:44

I'm got friends on third marriages When

52:47

do I just get to have a party?

52:49

For yourself and get a blender for not

52:51

ever making you have to spend money and stand out me.

52:54

You know what I mean? Yeah,

52:55

Wendy. What's the right age to have a

52:57

non?

52:59

Marriage reception I think this stops around 18

53:01

or The

53:04

risk in the contract and all that there's there's a

53:06

trade you don't want it You want that you don't want that you don't

53:08

get the party in the blender. You

53:09

know I'm saying Because

53:12

you make bad decisions, I'm just I'm

53:14

just saying that's that's that's how it works. That's the trade

53:16

got to do a government contract

53:19

That seems kind of the government's got to give you

53:21

the stamp That's

53:25

the trade um I

53:26

Speaking of speaking of

53:29

parties and shindig's yes, I

53:31

kind of teased on

53:34

on the social medias

53:35

That there'd be an announcement to be made At

53:38

seven o'clock today. Yes,

53:40

and I'm

53:42

I told nobody here what this

53:44

53:46

that and I'm like huh. I told her

53:48

okay good No, I told I told

53:50

53:52

going on here Just I'd say I got an announcement to make it seven

53:55

o'clock. Yeah I'm

53:57

gonna take my jacket off. Yeah, take it off.

53:59

See

54:00

You're assuming the worst. I don't

54:03

know what I'm assuming. I'm assuming.

54:05

I know you're not a secrets guy. You hate secrets.

54:08

Listen, man. Listen,

54:12

I've been burned before. I'm

54:15

right there with you. I hate secrets too. Like

54:17

you and I are the same when it comes to I don't like surprises.

54:21

This is kind of the reason why I'm doing this

54:23

as a surprise to drive you crazy. Yeah. Which

54:26

I appreciate. There you go. Thank you. Do

54:29

you know the and for those of you may be tuning

54:31

in for the first time to the show. Do you know do

54:33

you guys know the origins of the happy birthday

54:35

Riz?

54:36

No. Do you know how that started? No.

54:39

Yes, but you know. You know. Yes.

54:42

You know, King Scott knows. I

54:44

do not.

54:45

I just kind of glommed on to

54:47

the fact that it was a running gag. So I

54:49

come in as a guest. I never was somebody

54:52

who made a big deal out of their birthday. I always thought it

54:54

was like a woman thing to do. It is. Like

54:56

it's my week. It's my birth

54:58

week. It's my half birthday. It's my half

55:00

birthday. You know,

55:02

me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Absolutely.

55:05

So my 31st birthday, this

55:08

is back in 2000. When am I born?

55:11

I

55:11

was born in 78.

55:13

Whatever my birthday was back in 09.

55:15

My 31st. Like,

55:17

does anybody know what my actual real birthday is, by the way? August

55:20

17th. Oh, August 17th. You

55:22

got it. 17th of August. You

55:25

got it. Rafe.

55:27

September 3rd. I'm not

55:29

going to listen. So this

55:31

is when it was the Woody and Riz show,

55:33

back in 09. So my birthday

55:35

came and went.

55:36

Didn't tell anybody. Didn't

55:39

tell a person. At this time,

55:42

Tony Patrico was our phone screener. My

55:45

partner Woody found out my birthday

55:48

had came and went and knew I didn't

55:50

like to make a big deal on my birthday. So

55:53

to bust my balls

55:54

and to be a jerk,

55:57

he told Tony that anybody who called

55:59

in.

56:01

before they got on the air was to

56:03

say, happy birthday, Riz.

56:04

Love this. And the first

56:07

couple of times my face would turn red and

56:09

I'd go, thanks, man.

56:13

And that went on for a week.

56:15

And then it's, it's

56:19

now a thing. Like it just kept going.

56:21

So from 09 to 2023, people still call in and

56:25

say happy birthday, Riz. Yeah, the harassment never

56:27

ends. And it's so great because you hate it so

56:30

much. I've learned to really embrace

56:32

it now. I mean, now there's billboards put up every

56:34

year that say happy birthday, Riz. Right. At

56:38

one of the point fest, there was a plane with a banner

56:40

trailing behind it that says happy birthday, Riz.

56:44

Now it's become a thing, fine.

56:46

That's how it started.

56:48

People ask, how'd that thing, that's

56:50

how the thing got started.

56:51

I'm glad to know. So this

56:53

year, August 17th, how

56:55

old will I be turning? Does anybody

56:58

know? Okay, if you're, hang on, math. Do

57:00

math it out. Okay, we were 31 in 2009, right? That

57:05

was 14 years ago. So you were

57:07

going to be 45. 45, wow,

57:10

look at you. Thank you. You

57:13

good at math. You did real well. I'm not, but I'm

57:16

here. So since none of you jerks

57:18

would throw me a party for my 45th, I've

57:20

decided to throw myself a party. Look at you

57:22

go.

57:24

Boud AL demonstrates this video

at

1:01:57

J.I.D. Ex

1:01:59

comes from a birthday bash. Should we do a petition

1:02:02

to get you on stage and play with the urge?

1:02:06

Yes. I wouldn't ask but

1:02:08

I am available. Okay. But

1:02:11

I am available if Steve

1:02:13

or any one of the band members, John, all

1:02:16

you guys, I love you.

1:02:17

If you need a... We'll put the feelers out there and see if you

1:02:19

can replace Jerry for a result.

1:02:21

If you need another guitarist,

1:02:24

no, I would never say Jerry wouldn't

1:02:26

play. I'd say maybe if

1:02:28

you need something to thicken the gravy a little

1:02:30

bit.

1:02:33

Is somebody going to do a key

1:02:35

speech? Are all the female listeners going

1:02:37

to bring their keys up? I

1:02:40

was guaranteed sheet cake. I

1:02:43

would hope so. And I hope it's delicious. Guaranteed

1:02:45

sheet cake. Do we need

1:02:47

somebody to pop out of a cake? Are you

1:02:51

offering? Yes. I've

1:02:53

always wanted to pop out of a cake. Bucket

1:02:56

list. Put it on the bucket list. I

1:03:00

tried for years to do it down the hall. Never happened.

1:03:02

If it happens here, let's go. You know, maybe

1:03:05

we got a couple of bucket list items and kind of knocked

1:03:07

off that. If I could drop kick somebody. Trust

1:03:09

me, it's already... My

1:03:13

gears are already turning. What

1:03:16

better place? What if you just drop

1:03:18

kick Steve Ewing? And

1:03:20

then he beat the living crap. You

1:03:26

would try to drop kick Steve and you would just bounce

1:03:28

off of him. He's the nicest man in

1:03:30

the world. That's the turn right there.

1:03:33

You

1:03:38

kick him off stage and he falls onto his star.

1:03:41

His star impales him. Yeah.

1:03:45

Oh, poor Steve. Love you Steve. Thanks for just kidding.

1:03:48

That's really cool. Congratulations. That's awesome. Happy

1:03:50

birthday. That's what we're doing. That's what we're doing.

1:03:52

That's the big one. Have you ever done this before? No, this

1:03:55

is excellent. I wanted to keep it a surprise. That's

1:03:57

really cool. Remember the, remember the.

1:03:59

couple times the boss pulled me out of the office. Yeah.

1:04:02

And he goes, I just want to talk to you.

1:04:04

That's what this was about. Thank God. Cause

1:04:06

all of us were like, what's going on? I know. And I

1:04:08

hate doing that too. Actually, no. No,

1:04:10

he doesn't. All right.

1:09:16

Heating and Air Conditioning. More reliable than your

1:09:18

news source. How about some good

1:09:20

news? Okay. Some good news to

1:09:23

start off this. What is normally a doom

1:09:25

and gloom at news section. If

1:09:30

you had to, can you deliver a baby? Yes.

1:09:33

I've been there enough times. I seem to do a timer too. I've

1:09:38

been in the room. My mom had my sister

1:09:40

and I feel like. Oh, you were in

1:09:42

the room when your mom had your sister. I was. Whoa.

1:09:45

Yeah. I was 14 scared me. Let

1:09:47

me say this. Did not have sex

1:09:49

for a very long time. Why? Wow. Terrified

1:09:52

to go through that. Was that her plan? I

1:09:55

don't think it was, but. It worked.

1:09:57

It worked. So if you are having a baby and you. you

1:10:00

have kids and let them in the room. Were

1:10:02

you invited? Like, yeah. Like

1:10:05

your mother said, I want you to watch?

1:10:06

I was in middle school and

1:10:09

my aunt picked me up from middle school and said, hey, your mom's having the

1:10:11

baby. And so we got there. I just remember

1:10:13

walking in, my mom had an epidural. She was

1:10:15

listening to like a Walkman. She

1:10:19

was jamming out, man, that epidural had kicked in.

1:10:22

And then my sister was an itty bitty little

1:10:24

baby. They called her a peanut whenever she got out. And

1:10:26

anyway, it was like the easiest birth ever.

1:10:28

My stepdad, he wasn't in town. He was on business.

1:10:31

So he was in the air as my sister was being born.

1:10:33

So I

1:10:34

essentially- Oh, she came early? No, well, yeah,

1:10:36

she came about a week early, I guess. So

1:10:39

we were in there and I just remember holding my

1:10:41

mom's hand. My grandma, my aunt and

1:10:43

I were all in there. And then I mean,

1:10:45

I was very interested. I went from her head to

1:10:47

her lady bits

1:10:50

and I watched everything happen. I

1:10:52

mean, I always tell my sister, I go, I watched you take

1:10:55

your first breath. I changed everything

1:10:57

and I got to cut the cord. So I

1:10:59

feel like I did this- Wow,

1:11:00

you feel like you could do- Wow, that's amazing. That's a

1:11:02

lot of stuff. Yeah. That's amazing.

1:11:05

I will not be having my own kids through

1:11:07

my own body. So maybe it scarred me a little too much.

1:11:09

Yeah, trauma. But no, I feel like I

1:11:11

could coach, I'd be a great doula. I could

1:11:14

get the lady through it. Yeah.

1:11:16

Yeah, and there's all the time we see these stories of

1:11:19

a police officer delivering babies

1:11:21

on the side of the road. And that's what this is, a comp

1:11:23

in Florida, delivered a baby on the side

1:11:25

of the road. This last Sunday and his chess cam

1:11:27

got it all on video.

1:11:29

And here's what that sounded like. She's ready to go.

1:11:32

Okay, all right, look at me. Look at me, breathe through,

1:11:34

all right, mama? Is this your first baby? No, how

1:11:37

twice

1:14:22

Mine and then a friend I was

a Stand-in that's

1:14:27

nice. So you were standing dad stand

1:14:30

in yeah, dad was gone Dad was nowhere

1:14:32

to be found so

1:14:33

1:14:35

presence as a friend to have like a Rat

1:14:38

like in that situation

1:14:40

1:14:43

The

1:15:01

One was epidural

1:15:05

tried to find it and I was like You

1:15:08

wouldn't have to ask me twice. I let it take you Yeah,

1:15:11

and then she was cool after that because

1:15:15

It's an interesting thing to be in there

1:15:17

and see I

1:15:18

Just like what would be the circumstances like that's

1:15:21

the thing that would scare me about it is like where

1:15:23

am I delivering this baby? Yeah,

1:15:25

yeah in the backseat of a car. That's a little

1:15:27

more high stakes than just being like Yeah

1:15:31

in a hospital environment. Yeah. Yeah, my you

1:15:33

know, my wife had gone into labor and my

1:15:35

son was late and

1:15:37

Yeah, my

1:15:39

shit it was it was tough

1:15:41

It was a long labor and then my son

1:15:44

was being a pain in the ass

1:15:46

and his chin kept kept getting stuck

1:15:49

Like it wouldn't come down

1:15:52

And then then it was like, oh we got to get this kid

1:15:54

out. You know, there's the heartbeat is is Is

1:15:57

is getting less and less and we

1:15:59

got to get this kid out

1:15:59

here. We gotta get this get out of here. Next

1:16:02

thing you know I'm in scrubs and they're

1:16:04

willing my wife to the emergency room.

1:16:08

And you know you fear you

1:16:10

know all those emotions go

1:16:12

through you it's my first kid oh my god

1:16:14

what's happening this is not going as planned.

1:16:18

Every new parent has a plan it's

1:16:20

gonna go exactly like we planned out.

1:16:24

And then it was you know to the OR

1:16:27

and

1:16:29

don't look by the curtain.

1:16:31

Idiot me. Oh god. I turned

1:16:35

I went from pink to white I mean just

1:16:39

like a ghost.

1:16:42

Like just and I get a chair

1:16:44

for dad and

1:16:48

then my son comes out and they had to take him to the NICU

1:16:51

right away.

1:16:53

And he was he was there for a couple hours

1:16:55

of me we got lucky.

1:16:57

And again I wept like a baby.

1:17:00

I love it. I'm

1:17:02

an emotional creature. I can tell. Wept

1:17:05

like a baby in the in the in

1:17:08

the hallway. As I think most

1:17:10

dads do. Not all. And

1:17:12

then with my daughter it was planned you know C-section.

1:17:15

Everybody was all loose. Hey

1:17:18

hey come

1:17:20

on. Yeah

1:17:22

Doc you drinking? How loose are we getting?

1:17:25

It's an easy one. It's a running theme today of you

1:17:27

crying and being removed from situations with

1:17:30

your family.

1:17:31

My mom tells the story that because I was a C-section

1:17:33

baby and this is 85 so my dad

1:17:36

the story goes and again my dad's

1:17:38

dead so he can't defend this but like

1:17:41

the story was that on the way to the hospital

1:17:43

Greg had to stop and pick up a bag

1:17:45

of weed on the way to the hospital.

1:17:48

Now this is Southern Illinois and

1:17:50

so he but in his defense

1:17:53

I think in these times like I think he was so

1:17:55

freaked out about becoming a father that he

1:17:57

he was not the crying type. I think he was

1:17:59

like the

1:17:59

I gotta toke this up afterwards type

1:18:02

like after I was delivered. Yeah But

1:18:05

yeah, I mean everybody handles it differently. Yeah, I'm

1:18:07

at five. He's praying a sponge Mackenzie

1:18:09

shirt on I mean how about the old

1:18:12

school? You know the old school movies where they're handing

1:18:14

out cigars in the hospital lighting

1:18:16

cigars in or the dad wasn't Allowed

1:18:19

to be in there. The dad was out in the waiting

1:18:21

room with the rest of the family weird

1:18:23

Good old times,

1:18:25

right? What a good day See

1:18:31

you later when you have a baby smoking cigars

1:18:33

with a dad gang Screaming

1:18:37

and who knows what? What

1:18:42

she's going through That's the

1:18:44

fellas

1:18:47

My little brother was born I remember them wheeling

1:18:49

him out cuz I was the oldest And

1:18:52

they like wheeled him out in the little cart

1:18:54

and I swear to this day and

1:18:56

I'll go to my grave He had an upside-down

1:18:59

cross on his head. I remember seeing

1:19:01

it and being like my baby's a devil Damien

1:19:03

and My brother is wild

1:19:05

dude. I think he's got He's

1:19:08

a wild guy. He has got a little bit of

1:19:10

that devil streak in him I think I saw

1:19:12

it you think I was like the kid from the sixth sense and

1:19:14

I was the only one Nobody

1:19:16

believed me and then he was

1:19:18

a wildcat dude. He was a wild

1:19:21

kid wild adult

1:19:24

Here is a surprising

1:19:26

fact so late late April

1:19:28

and early May like where we are now

1:19:31

This is the worst time of year for sunburns.

1:19:34

You know that I didn't know that because people aren't thinking

1:19:36

about it They're not they're not lubin up. It's when

1:19:38

you're most likely to get a really bad

1:19:40

burn now and

1:19:43

And here's why the angle of the Sun is about the same as

1:19:46

it is in late August But since it's not as

1:19:48

hot we're less likely to cover up. Yeah,

1:19:50

nobody's thinking about it I've noticed a little bit

1:19:52

we went on that little glamping trip and just being

1:19:55

out in the Sun just a little bit there

1:19:57

And doing some ATV and stuff. I came

1:19:59

home and I was like man I am feeling

1:20:01

the sun and it was only for a day,

1:20:04

but you start to notice it. And if you're driving,

1:20:06

especially if you're driving during the day, you can start noticing your

1:20:09

left arms, looking more tanner than your right

1:20:11

arm. Yeah, a little dark.

1:20:11

I got a launch shadow, or like

1:20:14

where I have my Fitbit, it is pale.

1:20:16

Yeah. Well, I worry about people

1:20:18

like Scott. Oh, yes. Yeah, well, I've

1:20:21

been purposely trying to be outside as much as I can

1:20:23

right now

1:20:24

and just getting that base

1:20:26

going

1:20:27

before I do the sunscreen stuff. I

1:20:29

got the watch thing going on, but red

1:20:32

hair, blonde hair, skin that burns easily. If

1:20:35

you use tanning beds a lot, if you

1:20:37

have a weaker than average immune system, if

1:20:39

you work outside, you have a history of excessive

1:20:41

sun exposure, just be careful. All right.

1:20:44

All right, thanks. Find some... And

1:20:46

here's what they say to lower your risk because this is, May is Skin

1:20:48

Cancer Awareness Month.

1:20:50

Interesting. So the American Academy

1:20:52

of Germatology posted a list of top skin

1:20:55

cancer risk factors.

1:20:56

And yeah, like red hair, blonde hair, all that stuff. So

1:20:59

here's some things you could do to lower your risk. Find

1:21:01

some shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

1:21:05

Like that's the zone. Opt

1:21:08

for a wide brimmed hat. That's our shady

1:21:11

zone as well. That's typically what we're trying to nam.

1:21:13

Yes. It's like noon to two.

1:21:15

Yes.

1:21:16

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Wear

1:21:19

a sunblock that's a 30 SPF or higher.

1:21:21

You know, the biggest difference that I found was

1:21:24

in my Jeep, as soon as I got the Jeep, I

1:21:26

went to

1:21:28

Best Films and Coating. It's just placed

1:21:30

out in Chesapeake field and had them tint up the

1:21:33

windows, but with like really high

1:21:36

quality ceramic stuff that has

1:21:38

like

1:21:39

the sunblock stuff. And

1:21:41

dude, it has made the world

1:21:43

of difference. Not only does it keep the whole Jeep cooler,

1:21:47

but I'm not getting burned. I mean, if you... I

1:21:49

used to... And Ray probably knows this too, on

1:21:51

road trips or any of that kind of stuff, when you're out for a while,

1:21:53

like you will burn your left arm. Oh

1:21:56

yeah. Even if you... Even if it's

1:21:58

part of your face. Yeah, even if your windows are up and you...

1:21:59

get a sunburn from driving. I know that sounds so stupid,

1:22:02

but like I've especially figured if I'm

1:22:04

going to have these tee tops off and all this kind of stuff,

1:22:06

like I need to like think about this. Oh

1:22:08

dude, when I drive 44, I

1:22:12

got to drive to a gig on like a third, like 10

1:22:15

a.m. on a Thursday and drive to Oklahoma city or

1:22:17

anything west. You're driving straight

1:22:19

into the scorching sun

1:22:21

that you're blind the whole trip

1:22:23

and it is, it will roast like you'll

1:22:26

have half your, I'll get there and it'll be like half

1:22:28

your face and this whole arm will be red.

1:22:30

I look like

1:22:31

the dude from Hellboy.

1:22:37

Yeah, half golden, half golden

1:22:39

brown, half albino.

1:22:42

Yeah, made a difference. That's ceramic,

1:22:45

the ceramic filming from out there. Speaking

1:22:48

of health, the surgeon general has declared loneliness.

1:22:52

Loneliness is a public health epidemic.

1:22:55

So on Tuesday, the surgeon general's office released

1:22:57

an 81 page report called loneliness as harmful

1:22:59

as smoking 15 cigarettes a

1:23:01

day. Crazy. So

1:23:04

the surgeon general says we know that loneliness

1:23:06

is a common feeling that many people

1:23:09

experience. It's like hunger or thirst. It's

1:23:11

a feeling the body sends us when something, when

1:23:14

something we need for survival is missing.

1:23:16

And she said millions of people in America are struggling

1:23:19

in the shadows and that's not right. She

1:23:22

issued this advisory to pull back the

1:23:24

curtain on a struggle that too many

1:23:26

people are experiencing.

1:23:28

And her declaration services a warning, but

1:23:30

the report doesn't come at any government funding

1:23:32

to really fight the issue, but

1:23:35

that is the thing. I bet this show

1:23:37

just in all of its years, the compliment

1:23:40

you hear some often about rich show listeners

1:23:42

is that they feel like they're at a table with you guys

1:23:44

and like hanging out with friends. And

1:23:46

I think that that's where terrestrial radio has a leg up

1:23:48

on streaming services and a podcast

1:23:50

are similar to this. But being a part

1:23:53

of a just listening to other people talking

1:23:55

to each other and emoting and having

1:23:58

an honest being honest. Also

1:23:59

live. And live is so important.

1:24:01

So I think

1:24:02

like shows like this actually can help

1:24:04

people feel less lonely. And that's why I've

1:24:07

always loved radio. But, um, this

1:24:09

epidemic of loneliness is really sad. I

1:24:11

mean, I hate that so many people feel lonely.

1:24:13

Come out to the hot shots tomorrow

1:24:15

and hang out. Before I was shown, you guys know, I said

1:24:17

this, let's heal the world. Frank,

1:24:24

I just want to talk to you for a minute. Yes. I

1:24:27

know we've spoken before over the airwaves. You're not

1:24:29

alone, Frank.

1:24:30

I'm right there with you and

1:24:32

your 18 Wheeler going cross country. It's

1:24:35

me, Ray, riding shotgun. Frank,

1:24:39

you're not alone, buddy. Wrap your arms around

1:24:42

yourself. Give yourselves a big old hug. Know

1:24:44

that that's me telling you, I love

1:24:47

you, bud. Your buddy, Ray. Took

1:24:50

both hands off the wheel. Jesus.

1:24:54

Take the wheel. Oh, my traffic has updated.

1:25:00

19 car pile up on 44. Right

1:25:02

lane block due to Frank. Frank's

1:25:07

in the middle of the road hugging himself. We can't. Spit

1:25:13

out your coffee.

1:25:14

Okay. I got it down.

1:25:18

If this sounds

1:25:20

familiar, it's because this happened

1:25:22

once before a couple of months ago, a drunk passenger

1:25:25

on a flight from New York to India,

1:25:27

peed on a fellow traveler. Stop this

1:25:29

type of well, it's becoming an epidemic.

1:25:31

Real quick. It's an epidemic. Did they ask for

1:25:34

it? I just, we got to make sure we get all the details. I'm

1:25:36

not going to kink shame. That's what I'm saying. This

1:25:38

Thursday, freak of the week. I don't know if you're... This person did

1:25:40

not ask for this. Okay. Just making sure you're not

1:25:42

leading in to freak of the week. This happened on Sunday.

1:25:45

Two passengers aboard an American Airlines flight

1:25:47

from New York City to Delhi, India got into an argument.

1:25:50

At least one of the two was drunk and unruly.

1:25:52

It was a 15 hour flight.

1:25:54

Their fight escalated to the point where one of the

1:25:56

dudes started peeing on the other. That

1:25:59

is a move. Holy cow.

1:26:02

I mean how far you got to be in this argument to go well

1:26:04

this is this is the only move

1:26:06

I got. Yep this is what this is what's left.

1:26:08

Here's this is clearly escalated to

1:26:11

me wanting to do this. Golly

1:26:13

dude. Here's

1:26:16

how this ends.

1:26:18

Cops were waiting at the airport

1:26:21

in New Delhi for the urinator. American Airlines

1:26:23

issued a statement after the man was arrested

1:26:26

but the statement confirmed only disruption

1:26:28

had had occurred on board.

1:26:30

We're grateful for our crew members who are consistently

1:26:32

dedicated to the safety and care of our

1:26:34

customers and handle the circumstances with

1:26:36

the utmost professionalism.

1:26:38

Now if you remember back in November

1:26:41

a business exec with Wells Fargo

1:26:43

in

1:26:44

Mumbai

1:26:45

who was hammered peed on an old woman

1:26:47

in the business class section of an Air India

1:26:50

plane from New York City to

1:26:52

Delhi. So wait wait wait okay so maybe

1:26:54

is this a

1:26:55

cultural thing and I'm not asking that like

1:26:57

in just is this like

1:26:59

a movie okay so you know like culturally speaking

1:27:01

in certain parts of the planet like if you throw a shoe if you

1:27:04

throw a shoe that's like the utmost disrespect

1:27:06

like that's a particular move. Remember yeah

1:27:08

remember they threw the shoe at George W Bush. Right. Say

1:27:11

that you're urinating on someone's a universal

1:27:13

sign of disrespect. Right but I'm saying is

1:27:15

it like a known thing is it like an actual

1:27:17

move like it's on the list as far as culturally

1:27:20

speaking

1:27:20

in India you just talked about two like this

1:27:22

two times it right the two times this happened.

1:27:25

On the same flight

1:27:27

like on the same destination and and you

1:27:29

know both flights going from New York City to Delhi.

1:27:32

Right.

1:27:33

I don't know. Because the shoe thing I think has some

1:27:35

some sort of roots in some sort of you know religious

1:27:38

disrespect. Yeah it's an Arabic thing. So

1:27:40

I'm wondering if this has

1:27:43

something for something culturally. I mean I just think

1:27:45

that it's it takes too long as far as like

1:27:47

you're disgusted with somebody you want to insult them.

1:27:50

That's what I mean. You want to be an a-hole.

1:27:52

Now you're whizzing on them and you're

1:27:54

there for 21 seconds.

1:27:57

That's too long. Like somebody something else

1:27:59

is gonna happen. Well, I'm bladder shy,

1:28:01

so it'd be like, you're gonna get it. You just wait. Don't

1:28:06

look at me!

1:28:08

I can't imagine. No. Can

1:28:12

you imagine you think you're done with a fight? The

1:28:14

next thing you know you go, what is that? Oh my god, this demand

1:28:17

is urinating on me.

1:28:19

And what do you do? If you push it, then

1:28:21

it goes everywhere. A

1:28:24

fist to the face is warranted on, for

1:28:26

that am I right fellas? Yeah. That's

1:28:29

a swamp justice moment, I think. Yeah, I

1:28:31

think you gotta dole it out.

1:28:33

In that particular situation. But then it's

1:28:35

like, what

1:28:38

do you do for the rest of the flight? Right. It's

1:28:40

a 15 hour flight. I

1:28:43

don't know how long into the flight this happened.

1:28:46

Alright, so you're on a plane,

1:28:48

and you're sitting in the window, and you look out

1:28:50

the window, and you see a worker,

1:28:54

an airport worker, duct-taping

1:28:56

a part of the plane. What'd

1:28:58

you go? Hmm.

1:29:04

Is this something that I should see? That is

1:29:06

the ultimate, oh no, pretend I didn't see

1:29:08

it. Like, how do I convince myself? Like they're

1:29:10

duct-taping something, like the wing. Like

1:29:13

they're duct-taping the wing.

1:29:15

And you go, oh man, that's what my father used to

1:29:17

do to fix the sump pump. Yeah, but I mean, it

1:29:19

could be anything. I'd start telling myself, well, you

1:29:21

know what? I don't know anything about how this operates.

1:29:25

Maybe it's like some random-ass sensor, and they don't even

1:29:28

need that sensor, and if they just cover it with a

1:29:30

small piece of tape, the sensor won't beep.

1:29:32

It's still a mind-deaf. I know, but I'm

1:29:35

telling you where my mind would go. And then you go, oh

1:29:37

my god, what airline? Oh my god, I'm on Spirit Airlines. Because

1:29:41

this is something that happened, actually. There's

1:29:43

a video making the rounds where a Spirit Airlines worker

1:29:45

supposedly duct-tapes a plane's engine back

1:29:48

together. And somebody posted it

1:29:50

on TikTok. It's shot from inside the

1:29:52

plane, shows a guy putting a bunch

1:29:54

of tape on one of the engines. Maybe

1:29:56

it's just some dude trolling you guys. And

1:29:59

the woman...

1:29:59

And when filming it says she's never flying

1:30:02

spirit again, here's what she says. It's

1:30:04

his day. The reason why I don't

1:30:06

fly with spirits. I don't care

1:30:08

if it is aviation, airplane,

1:30:10

tape or nothing. The fact that you

1:30:13

even have to take the plane together

1:30:15

and then you're doing it while people are on

1:30:17

the flight like we cannot see you. After

1:30:20

a while, that's going to be the first new coat of tape.

1:30:22

That tape going to lose that stickiness. You

1:30:25

flying all around the world and you got tape

1:30:27

holding it together. The way businesses

1:30:29

are using social media and different things. So I wouldn't be surprised

1:30:32

if this wasn't a plant from Frontier. I was gonna say I

1:30:34

wonder if somebody from a Legion going

1:30:36

over there like just put a little tape up. Right.

1:30:39

And temporarily out of service. Somebody filming it and posting it. Who

1:30:41

knows? But it would

1:30:43

make me nervous. Just a little bit. Just a little bit.

1:30:46

I'd have to go over. Would you actually be nervous if you saw it? Because

1:30:48

if you see what he's doing, it doesn't look like it's actually. Oh,

1:30:50

I didn't get to see it. Anything attached. It just looks like

1:30:52

he's covering up maybe.

1:30:54

A flap of some kind. I don't know who knows. I

1:30:56

don't know. I'm an expert. But

1:30:58

if I'm seeing somebody duct taping the plane together.

1:31:01

Has that ever happened to any of you? Have you

1:31:03

ever been on a flight, looked out and saw the ground

1:31:05

crew do something? We were like, huh.

1:31:07

Oh, yeah. That's

1:31:09

disturbing. I'm

1:31:12

sure I have. I'm sure I have. I think I've

1:31:14

seen the tape thing before. I've

1:31:16

watched them de-ice a plane. That's

1:31:18

pretty neat. Yeah, that makes me nervous. That's

1:31:19

pretty neat to see. Yeah, we- Would

1:31:21

they bring the big truck over? That was one of the most nerve-wracking flights. I had one

1:31:23

out of Springfield. It was during a

1:31:25

huge snowstorm. They canceled originally. They were like,

1:31:28

nope, we're still having it. They got us out there.

1:31:30

We're the only airplane out there. They had to de-ice this

1:31:32

three different times. Then they had to empty half

1:31:34

of the tank.

1:31:36

They're like, oh, you're good to go. Are

1:31:38

we? Yeah. We just, with

1:31:40

ices on the ground everywhere, you're safe. All

1:31:43

right. You know how that- I saw a dude

1:31:46

rubber mallet. You

1:31:49

know how when the plane's going to land and those things

1:31:51

pop up to give you wind drag? Yeah,

1:31:53

yeah, yeah. The flaps. The flaps

1:31:55

on the wing. I had a wing seat and he was out

1:31:57

there like- Hammering.

1:31:59

Yeah, Jimmy and the wings and hitting

1:32:02

it with a rubber mallet. And I was like, uh.

1:32:05

Well, I mean, so the question

1:32:07

is, do they really use duct tape to fix planes?

1:32:09

And no, they don't. They are using tape.

1:32:12

It's actually a common thing. All airlines use

1:32:14

this. It's called speed tape.

1:32:17

And it's made of heavy duty

1:32:19

aluminum. The FAA says it's used for temporary

1:32:22

minor repairs to non-structural aircraft

1:32:25

components. And a spokesman for Spirit

1:32:27

says, yeah, this was us. This

1:32:29

was one of our engineers using speed tape. It's

1:32:32

commonly used to temporarily seal a gap.

1:32:35

So it's not a big deal. It's also used on

1:32:37

race cars.

1:32:40

Well, yeah, well, I'm not sitting in a race car at 30,000

1:32:42

feet. Also, if that's true, we

1:32:45

don't need to see that. Right, right, right. We

1:32:47

don't want to know. Yeah, just have

1:32:49

the flight crew tell

1:32:51

the left side of the plane to please close your

1:32:53

windows for about 90 seconds. Nothing's

1:32:55

going on. This sausage

1:32:57

is good. Don't tell me what's inside. Right,

1:33:00

right, right. Don't

1:33:02

tell me what's inside. What do you think hot dogs are made out of? You

1:33:05

don't want to know. I saw a video once, and I don't want

1:33:07

to eat hot dogs anymore. Speed tape. Also,

1:33:10

you're flying Spirit. So you

1:33:12

just assume that 80% of that plane

1:33:15

is duct tape. So

1:33:17

true. You paid $14 for that flight.

1:33:21

What did you think the plane was made of? Yeah,

1:33:24

to the brakes when you land, everybody's going to put their feet out,

1:33:27

exactly. I

1:33:30

know Moon's gotten kidney stones. We've talked about

1:33:32

that before. Anybody else have kidney stones

1:33:34

ever? No. Nope,

1:33:37

got a period once a month, but that's about it. That's about

1:33:39

it.

1:33:40

So if you've got a small kidney

1:33:42

stone and you want to pass them before

1:33:44

they turn into big kidney stones,

1:33:47

like ones that might require like ER trips

1:33:49

or surgery, here is a solution

1:33:51

that's both fun and mildly terrifying.

1:33:55

Roller coasters. Have you heard about this? Specifically,

1:33:58

big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

1:33:59

at Disney.

1:34:01

What does that do? Shake you up a lot? People have been talking

1:34:04

about it as a cure for kidney stones

1:34:06

for a while and there are even studies that

1:34:08

show yeah

1:34:09

it's effective. What? Yeah.

1:34:11

So last week a woman

1:34:14

went from New Jersey to Disney World

1:34:17

specifically to ride

1:34:19

Thunder Mountain

1:34:20

to pass her kidney stone.

1:34:21

Wow. Wow Disney's really

1:34:23

broadening their advertising spectrum. For real.

1:34:26

Infomercials now. She even got

1:34:28

a celebration. Do you have a kidney stone? Disney

1:34:31

has your solution. Come on over to Thunder Mountain. I'm

1:34:33

going to Disney World. So

1:34:35

she got a celebration button and had it say I'm celebrating

1:34:37

passing a kidney stone and she said she rode the

1:34:40

ride twice,

1:34:41

sat in the back row because that's reportedly the best

1:34:43

spot for stone passing. She

1:34:45

went back to the airport, made it back to Jersey by

1:34:47

midnight. I mean she literally, her and her husband

1:34:50

went specifically

1:34:52

for one ride. I hope they enjoyed

1:34:54

other things like nope. Nope. They just

1:34:56

went through that ride. That's a kind of a waste of money I would have

1:34:58

enjoyed the whole day. And it worked.

1:35:01

The next morning she passed the kidney stone. She

1:35:04

said she'd been in pain for a week leading up to the

1:35:06

it was an impromptu trip.

1:35:08

Tell me how this works please.

1:35:11

I guess it just shakes you

1:35:13

up. They said so

1:35:16

big Thunder Mountain does seem to work better than more

1:35:18

intense roller coasters. And one expert

1:35:20

said the ideal coaster

1:35:22

to pass a stone

1:35:24

is rough and quick with twists and

1:35:26

turns but no upside down or inverted

1:35:29

movements. So you know what I'm thinking? The boss.

1:35:31

The boss man. That don't shake. That thing

1:35:33

made me think I was I literally was in pain

1:35:35

when I got off that thing. Yeah

1:35:37

because you bounce your head. Oh my

1:35:39

fillings fell out. I

1:35:42

was hurt. What's this called? Thunder

1:35:44

train? Thunder Mountain. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

1:35:47

Big Thunder

1:35:48

Mountain. Yeah the tidal wave helps with

1:35:50

hemorrhoids. Every

1:35:54

ride has its medical

1:35:56

pretty soon it's gonna be a Mayo Clinic theme park.

1:36:00

You got a UTI? Yeah.

1:36:02

Ride the teacups. All right. Big

1:36:04

Thunder Mountain Railroad POV 5K. I

1:36:08

didn't even know we were past 4K. Oh, yeah.

1:36:10

Last week we got to 5K. All right. Okay.

1:36:13

So backseat. Okay. So

1:36:15

it's not enclosed or anything. No over the shoulder. It

1:36:17

looks like one of these wooden, you know, shaky up roller coasters.

1:36:20

This has

1:36:20

been going on for a while. There's a study that

1:36:22

came out in 2016 about roller coasters remedy

1:36:25

for kidney stones. Yeah. So it

1:36:27

really is. It really does. It's on hard

1:36:29

plastic on your hips right here. And it's

1:36:31

just shaking your hips and slamming it down a bunch. Yeah.

1:36:34

Okay. I guess that makes sense. Doesn't

1:36:36

it? Dislodge it from the... Because the worst

1:36:39

part, the pain as an experienced kidney zone passer,

1:36:42

the pain is not from what you think

1:36:44

it is. You know, you think you got to pass this thing through

1:36:46

your... And you know, every

1:36:48

guy, it's

1:36:49

the back pain. It's the damn pain inside

1:36:51

when it's going from bladder to your reathrot

1:36:53

or whatever. And you know, all these different little hoses.

1:36:56

That's where it hurts. The last hose ain't no big

1:36:58

deal. It hurts. It hurts.

1:37:01

Yeah. But the last hose, it hurts. Don't get

1:37:03

me wrong. But you realize

1:37:05

you're at the end of it and you're like, thank

1:37:07

goodness. It's about to be over.

1:37:09

It's the back pain. It feels like somebody

1:37:11

is trying to force a hot baseball,

1:37:15

on fire baseball through your body, through

1:37:18

your back. And now you know why everyone in Overland has

1:37:20

zero kidney stones. Trampolines, huh? Trampolines.

1:37:23

Yeah. I would say akin to this would be the boss.

1:37:26

Yeah. Six flags.

1:37:27

It would be cooler than this. Screaming

1:37:29

Eagle too, right? Does that bring you upside

1:37:31

down though? No. They said no upside down. Screaming

1:37:33

Eagle is the boss Jr. It's just the 70s version

1:37:35

of the boss. Okay.

1:37:37

The boss is a man.

1:37:40

Look at this thing. They'll say nothing. The boss kicks

1:37:42

ass. I felt the Raven

1:37:45

would be good too. The one, the big one,

1:37:48

the holiday world is like the biggest wooden roller coaster.

1:37:50

Oh yeah, yeah. Holiday World straight. I

1:37:52

think I'll shake you up too. But the boss had six flags. The

1:37:54

boss is a child. And I thought, I literally thought

1:37:57

I may squish this person to death. because

1:38:00

it rattles you. It's so rattly and when

1:38:02

you take a turn, you're just, gravity

1:38:05

takes over. Yeah. I had an

1:38:07

eight year old on there with me and he was just like, well

1:38:09

yeah, you slide. I was just smashing him. You slide on the

1:38:12

seat. There's no separate seats.

1:38:14

It's just a bench. My oldest daughter to this

1:38:16

day, not a super

1:38:17

roller coaster enthusiast and it's because I took her

1:38:19

on the bus too early. I could see this. Yep,

1:38:22

still a famous picture of me with my tongue out.

1:38:24

I'm all like this and she is tucked under

1:38:26

my arm because she's like, get it over with. I don't want

1:38:28

this. My son is a roller

1:38:30

coaster enthusiast. I'm not so much anymore.

1:38:33

Now what's awesome is now you just drop him off

1:38:35

at Six Flags. You

1:38:38

got the season pass. That's pretty cool.

1:38:40

What'd you do boy? That's awesome. Yeah,

1:38:43

I cried. Oh, I sat in the park. I cried.

1:38:47

Now it's like, I rode Mr. Freeze 15 times. Great

1:38:51

ride. Damn. All right, that

1:38:53

is your news. Let's do those show. Traffic

1:38:56

and weather. All right, we will take

1:38:58

a quick break. Come back and

1:39:00

learn. Has your crap on celebrities? Yeah, the last time he rode

1:39:03

Mr. Freeze, he fast passed it up to the front.

1:39:05

He sees me. I'm waiting to get

1:39:07

on. He

1:39:08

gets off and he's like, this is great.

1:39:11

I was like, oh, we've been waiting 40 minutes. And then he

1:39:13

goes, this is great. And then the one that comes

1:39:15

in right after he's getting ready to leave and

1:39:17

saying hi to me, somebody

1:39:18

puked on us. So we had to wait another hour. Sorry,

1:39:21

we got shut the road. I didn't fast pass it. Well,

1:39:24

you were up there. You enjoyed yourself. I did enjoy

1:39:26

myself. He wrote it two or three times before

1:39:28

I finally got up there. We just happened to be there at

1:39:30

the same time at our families. That's

1:39:32

cool. Yeah, he wouldn't have invited me. After

1:39:34

us, ride closed. He

1:39:38

was having the greatest time. That's

1:39:41

the one where my watch, I was with

1:39:43

the boy and my Apple watch

1:39:45

thought I was in a car accident. Oh yeah. And

1:39:48

called

1:39:48

my wife. Oh my gosh. Like,

1:39:51

hey, there's been an accident because

1:39:53

she's my emergency contact. And I couldn't, my

1:39:55

watch froze and my phone froze.

1:39:57

Oh. I'm

1:40:00

okay though. Gotcha.

1:40:03

Good. Thank you, Raph. Hey,

1:40:14

1:40:17

1:40:19

show on 105.7 The Poi.

1:40:22

All right, welcome back to the program.

1:40:25

Craig's is frequently coming up. All right, learn if I

1:40:27

1:40:29

is? Yeah,

1:40:35

it's Darth Vader's coming. Yeah, that's the Imperial

1:40:37

March. I don't

1:40:39

think you were Star Wars fan. I'm not. I

1:40:42

mean, I am. Right. I don't.

1:40:45

Here. Hang on. Hang on. I'm

1:40:48

like a 1980s, 90s Star Wars fan. Like, I

1:40:50

watched the Empire, like Star Wars, Empire Strikes

1:40:52

Back, and then I stopped. Right? Yeah.

1:40:56

And then I don't

1:40:57

partake in anything. Right. This

1:40:59

is what plays as I walk to the studio. Yeah.

1:41:02

That's what I was saying. Somebody

1:41:04

has that as your ringtone. I

1:41:07

just want you to know. I mean, what a piece of music

1:41:09

though, too, man. Right? Doesn't this evoke

1:41:11

like... Yeah. It's

1:41:14

like this piece of music that invokes an emotion. I

1:41:17

don't know. I'm a huge Star Wars fan. John Williams,

1:41:19

right? Yeah. You don't play.

1:41:22

No. That's soundtrack.

1:41:24

No. Some of the

1:41:26

best soundtracks ever done.

1:41:27

Did you grow up a Star Wars fan? Yeah.

1:41:30

I mean, I grew up in that Star Wars era

1:41:32

for sure. Yeah. I feel like I

1:41:34

was right in the pocket for, you know, the trilogy.

1:41:36

Oh, me too.

1:41:38

Me too. And my dad, you know, is such

1:41:40

a cinema fan that, of course, as soon as he saw

1:41:42

like the ripe opportunity

1:41:45

to really just go check this out. It

1:41:47

was

1:41:47

put right in my lap and I just blew

1:41:49

my mind, man. Scott, you too? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

1:41:53

I can't remember the name. Which one was the Ewok? Were

1:41:55

they... That's Return of the Jedi. That was

1:41:57

the one I watched like four...

1:42:00

probably about a year almost every day when I got home from school

1:42:02

I watched it. Yeah that was my

1:42:04

most watched. When I got to that one. I saw it in the theater.

1:42:06

I remember

1:42:07

when I got to that one I watched

1:42:10

it and I was like that's my favorite that's my favorite.

1:42:12

I remember my dad going

1:42:14

someday Empire will be your favorite. I remember

1:42:17

him giving me like the great you

1:42:19

can love this one now. Someday

1:42:22

Ewoks. Ewoks were a big selling

1:42:24
