Rerudo. Rebranding of a golf cart.

1:35

Hey. How you doing, Rick? Hey. Mics

1:38

are on, you're chit chatting. What are you talking about? Start

1:40

the intro up. You're talking? I didn't

1:42

hear it. How dare you? It's Thursday.

1:45

What are you doing? She's talking side by sides, man. I'm

1:48

getting hyped. I heard nothing about golf carts. We were talking side by

1:50

sides. I'm getting hyped. I'm getting hyped.

1:52

I'm getting hyped. I'm getting hyped. I'm

1:54

getting hyped. I'm getting hyped. I'm getting

1:57

hyped. I'm getting hyped. Side by sides. Cool,

2:00

man. I was now saying how I,

2:04

I was telling Moon this a couple

2:06

months back. You know, we had one of

2:08

those zero turn mowers. Yep. And

2:11

it was a bad boy in case anybody is

2:13

wondering what brand it was. Of course it was. It

2:16

was a bad boy.

2:17

And man, those things are fun. And

2:20

they're fast and they

2:22

have a seat belt. So you could belt

2:24

yourself in, you know,

2:26

to the seat. Seat

2:29

belt. Why would anybody need one of these?

2:32

Right. Dorks. Anyone

2:36

happens. You talked about that the first day you

2:38

had it. And I was like, man, we used to use those as go-karts.

2:40

We would disengage the blade and drive those

2:42

around. Scott and I out there and

2:44

pop wheelies on those things, man. They were

2:47

awesome. We had a Dixon

2:49

team. You know, they have

2:51

the speed, like the speed

2:53

lever. It's like turtle or, Turtle

2:56

or rabbit. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's right.

2:58

So I had this baby all the way up to hair. Oh

3:01

man. I was

3:03

hair ended up. So I had her pinned.

3:07

Just doing 360s making crap circles.

3:09

Yeah, it was great. And then I was going up

3:11

one of the rows in our field and I

3:14

hit a divot. And man,

3:16

I think I got all four wheels off the ground.

3:20

And I came out of the seat.

3:23

No seat belt on. No seat belt on, cause those

3:25

are for chumps. Right. You didn't have a seat

3:27

belt on? No,

3:29

I didn't have this. Is this a lap belt? Yeah, it's a lap belt.

3:32

Man. I came off the seat

3:35

and thank God I landed back on

3:37

the seat. Right. Well,

3:40

yeah. But it was one of those moments where you

3:42

go,

3:42

Oh, that's why they have that. Man.

3:46

That's why they have one of those on there. You

3:49

deserve a boot to the butt, you big dummy. Well, it's

3:52

those kinds of lessons that are also

3:54

very valuable. The only

3:56

piece of equipment that's kept nursery

3:58

rhyme characters at. speed indicators.

4:01

What's up with that? Turtle, hair.

4:03

That's it. Only lawnmowers. No other piece

4:05

of equipment has that.

4:08

Your car doesn't? It's almost like they expect your kids to

4:10

get on it. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like what's

4:12

going on with that? Why is that the unit of

4:14

measurement of speed for just one

4:18

piece of equipment? I think it's one of those things that

4:20

would like, it's just been on there forever and it's

4:22

just like a classic. When they're deciding,

4:24

hey, should we put fast, slow, one,

4:27

two, nah, man, let's go with the classic.

4:29

Total wabbit.

4:33

Because

4:34

every time I see that, I'm like, yes, I'm glad to see

4:36

they're still doing that. Yeah. Because the mowers, we were popping

4:38

wheelies on from the 70s and 80s and they had the

4:40

exact same thing. Turtle rabbit. It

4:42

was the first time my grandpa let me use his

4:45

mower, his rider. I don't

4:47

remember how I, I'm 10,

4:50

maybe 11 and I

4:52

ran over like 19 sapling trees.

4:55

Just lost control of it. I popped

4:57

it into hair and lost control. And

5:02

he was still talking about it 20 years later. And it's

5:04

a mower? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And

5:06

when you run something over,

5:09

it's like that, you hear everything.

5:11

Oh, yeah. He had just planted these little,

5:13

I don't know what they were, just little sapling trees and

5:15

I just. Those

5:17

zero turns. Have you ever driven a zero turn? Yeah. The

5:19

bad boys are awesome, dude. And those zero turns

5:22

are fun. That's the way to go if you

5:24

have a certain, certain type of lawn. Yeah.

5:27

Those are the way to go. I've

5:28

never mowed a lawn before. Never.

5:30

Never. I've written, like my grandma had a riding,

5:33

a John Deere riding lawn mower. And so my dad,

5:35

whenever he'd be mowing her lawn, like I'd sit on his lap

5:37

and mow with him essentially.

5:39

And he'd like, let me do that. But I've never

5:41

had an opportunity to mow a yard

5:43

ever. I've always had somebody that was like, I'll

5:46

do it. You've always had somebody to do

5:48

it for you. Very privileged.

5:50

When we bought our house in South City, it

5:52

was our first lawn. I

5:55

could not wait to get a lawnmower. I got up a

5:58

Briggs and Stratton.

5:59

Briggs and Stratton, you know, push mow. Oh yeah.

6:02

I had one.

6:04

And I bought it used off of somebody still

6:06

ran,

6:07

sharpened up the blades, you know, I had a little

6:09

like posted stamp of, uh, of

6:12

grass. You know, it would take 30 minutes,

6:15

you know, when all of a sudden done, including edging, but

6:17

it was my, it was my grass. Yeah. Wait,

6:20

what?

6:21

You were edging during this? Shouldn't

6:23

do that, man. That's dangerous on a mower. No,

6:25

you know what I'm saying? Like after I got done mowing,

6:27

I would take my weed whacker out. Oh,

6:30

okay. And you know, do the, and do the edge.

6:32

That makes sense. Dude, that's, that's the

6:34

best part when you're doing the edging and you're sitting there going,

6:37

look how sharp I made this. Well, you know,

6:39

I started doing this, the edging first. So that way when

6:41

I'm, oh, all the little clippings go bye-bye.

6:44

Yeah. And then it looks perfect. Look at that. Yeah.

6:47

Oh, you got to do the edging last. No, no, no.

6:49

You do the edging first. I do it first. No, do that too.

6:51

First, huh? Yeah. That way it looks beautiful. Your

6:54

yard is perfect. You can't find anything. I get down

6:56

on my knees and

6:57

dig through the grass to see if there's any clippings My

6:59

first, my

7:02

first job ever was working for a landscaping

7:04

company. It was somebody my parents knew

7:07

and, uh, you know, got me a job at 15 and summer.

7:12

He would come at sunrise with his,

7:14

with the truck and I'd hop in and

7:16

I was the weed whack, weed whack boy. Weed

7:18

whack boy. Did you have the industrial, like

7:21

the jet pack weed whacker? Uh,

7:23

the kind that he has like the, no,

7:26

no. It was a regular gas power. Weed

7:29

whacker. But at the end, when you're done

7:31

with a job, you know, you put on

7:33

the backpack blower, which was

7:35

cool. That is, I thought it was like a proton pack. Yeah.

7:37

It was like a ghostbusters. Definitely.

7:41

That was a tough job, man. And I, I give it up to all

7:43

the landscapers out there. I think I'd enjoy working

7:46

at a landscape company. You would for

7:48

a little bit. For a little bit. I did, um, I worked for

7:50

the parks from recreation, you know, I was doing all the, I

7:52

was running all the day camps and everything. And after the day camps

7:54

ended up for this one summer, I was out

7:57

of a job or out of it, uh, I think

7:59

I need a couple of months in a few minutes.

7:59

hours to fill and I asked the city

8:02

like hey you got any other jobs and they said

8:04

well yeah I mean you can do you can do the parks

8:07

you

8:07

know like dig holes and stuff and I was like okay

8:09

great in between digging holes on

8:11

you know 7 7 a.m.

8:14

on certain parks

8:15

they needed to be mowed every week so

8:17

I got to do that those big ass ones

8:20

with the with the with the stand behind that oh we stand

8:22

on the platform that

8:24

stuff has to be I've never I've never used

8:26

one of those dude like the big deck

8:29

mowers yeah so that works with handles

8:31

with handles yeah yeah so you're it's it's the

8:33

you know right hand left hand handles and it's all

8:35

about pressure man you you grip those

8:37

and you're gone you were standing on the

8:39

platform yeah you stand on the platform man that's cool

8:42

never did that like a little platform trailer that's awesome

8:44

dude it's awesome and the funny thing

8:46

is I'm doing that for a

8:48

job and then I'm going home and I got

8:50

the smallest mower because we had

8:52

a small motor a small engine company

8:54

in the family so my uncle's like I'll get

8:56

you a mower so he

8:59

brings over this mower that is like a put-together

9:01

thing from just random parts it's like a piece of steel

9:03

shell it's real tiny and

9:06

at some point I got this crazy hill at

9:08

some point oil or water they mixed or

9:11

something like that so every time I mow the grass

9:13

I had to do it through a cloud and I'm sure my

9:15

neighbors loved it it was this huge

9:18

white smoke it would just put out this

9:20

white smoke I'm

9:23

just looks like a bomb went off yeah you know

9:25

like post like 4th of July how there's just like a

9:27

cloud a mist that's

9:29

hanging that that was me cutting my

9:32

grass for a couple years at my house yeah we got to get

9:34

you well we'll do a broadcast from the farm

9:36

yeah and we'll get you on a tractor and

9:38

I'll mow your yard we'll get you well we'll

9:40

get it we'll get you on a tractor and you know she'll

9:42

pull the brush hog oh

9:44

yeah yeah you have

9:46

to check your lawn privilege hmm I will

9:48

see I grew up like we had tractors

9:50

in my grandma's house so my dad would like put me in the bucket

9:52

of the tractor and like lift it up

9:54

and like carry me around and I just

9:57

never mowed like I just never has happened

10:00

like a really old Ford like from

10:02

the 70s. Like

10:06

it's basically a big engine

10:08

with wheels.

10:10

And the first time I got that thing up on

10:13

three wheels, accidentally.

10:15

That's scary. Yeah, that makes your heart

10:17

racing. You're tripping through your land like.

10:20

No, no, cause there's, you know,

10:22

like irrigation ditches. When you're mowing and there's irrigation

10:24

ditches cause things were overgrown

10:27

when we first got to play. So it was kind of mowing everything

10:29

down. And you don't see ditches.

10:31

So you get that thing

10:33

on three wheels and

10:36

it's tipping and you go, and your heart stops. Cause

10:38

this thing weighs, you know, three tons. Yeah. And you don't

10:40

know like the weight distribution of it. You're

10:42

not used to that. That's why I always move. You're

10:44

like, Oh no, I don't know how it's going to move. Oh

10:46

God. This is why I always eat a ton of beans before I

10:48

start a tractor or anything like that. So that way if

10:50

you start to tip, you just let a little air out

10:53

and it goes right back down and you're safe. You

10:56

got to get a ride behind dude. Like I

10:58

stand behind. Yeah. It feels

11:00

like a speeder bike. It does dude. It

11:03

is fly across the ground. It

11:05

kind of feels like you're, you're landscaping. Yeah.

11:08

But that summer of that summer landscaping

11:11

and it was, it was okay. You know, in the morning,

11:14

again, most of the, you know, you pick us up

11:16

at sunrise

11:18

and then you'd get done at sundown,

11:20

but it was fine. The first couple of houses you did, cause it

11:22

was still cool out, but man, once it gets summer

11:25

months and it's that sun's

11:27

straight up there in the sky, it is hot.

11:29

Should we get different types of mowers for

11:32

when we do that broadcast from your farms and we could have

11:34

a race on different types of mowers. Oh,

11:37

see which one's the best? Yeah. Like we could

11:39

actually, cause I have never been to your farm, but I imagine

11:41

you got a massive field or we essentially

11:43

could all be sponsored by different mowing companies

11:46

and they could give

11:47

us our mower, our

11:49

mowers. And then we could

11:51

have like a great, we could just go

11:54

and see who speeds through the end. Dan King

11:56

Sky coming around the corner on the Husker Varma. Whoa.

12:00

We just won't mow for like two weeks. We'll

12:03

actually get something accomplished. I

12:06

want the ride behind bad boy, and I'm going to put George

12:08

Thirlgood on a blue box and just intimidate

12:11

everybody. Of course you would.

12:13

That could be cool. I don't know. Yeah,

12:15

I want to... Everybody's got to have a radio

12:17

or speaker in there. I want the old snap

12:20

on or whatever those were. We each get a pit. Pit

12:22

crew. We get a pit crew. Yeah. Change

12:26

of time. That's

12:29

my pit crew, by the way, that sound effect.

12:32

He's coming in loose. Learn's

12:34

coming in loose on the high bank. We're

12:37

going like nine miles an hour. Everybody's

12:40

in... everybody's in rabbit. Rabbit

12:43

hair. You know what it is? They have that still

12:45

because they've realized drunk people are going to get

12:47

on. Rafe, when you hit that turn, drop it in

12:50

the turtle.

12:54

Drunk people can't see numbers,

12:56

but they can see rabbit and turtle.

12:57

Yeah. Smart. They

13:00

know. Yeah, we'll get

13:02

that. Will you shoot a gun when you're up there? I

13:05

will. You will? Oh,

13:07

really? Yeah. Okay.

13:11

Yeah. You trust me with a gun? I don't

13:13

know. Should I? No.

13:16

What do you got? Like a 12-gig shotgun? I don't

13:18

know. It's plenty of things. Okay.

13:21

Yeah. We should... it should be, you know,

13:24

Olympic sports. We'll have a... we'll

13:27

do the lawnmower race, the derby. We'll

13:29

do the, you know, target practice to see who's the

13:31

best shooter, straight shooter on the show. Okay.

13:34

So here's the thing. When we do

13:36

stay up there, so there is a, you know, there's a master

13:38

bedroom,

13:39

and there's like a guest room that's got four

13:42

bunk beds. So four...

13:44

so it's, you know, two and two. Obviously,

13:48

Lauren will have to get the

13:51

master bedroom, and then we'll have to sleep

13:54

on bunks. Well, hope

13:57

I can plug my CPAP in somewhere.

14:00

Are you guys, you guys are in for a long night,

14:02

brother. What's the roof next to an outlet? Or

14:05

is the master bedroom the,

14:07

the, what you win from

14:09

all of these Olympic sports that we're gonna do? I think that's

14:12

a good idea. Cause I don't think I should have

14:14

the woman privilege just because I'm a chick. I think

14:16

it'd be weird if it's, you know, three

14:19

dudes

14:20

and then learn in the room. I don't know.

14:22

Look, we all toot in our sleep. It's gonna be fine.

14:24

You guys, I don't, I could sleep in a bunk

14:27

bed below or on top of

14:29

each and every one of you. And it wouldn't be weird.

14:31

I'm just trying to be respectful here. You're being very sweet,

14:33

but I'm just saying like, I've, I've have

14:35

true equality. It's fine. What?

14:38

Top bunk, bottom bunk. I am a

14:40

top bunk person. See, we're gonna

14:43

get along just fine. I like throwing my, unless we

14:45

have like, unless it's like

14:47

a Rizlympics type of a competition.

14:50

Cause I can tell you this the day before and whoever wins

14:52

gets the, gets the big bedroom. Yeah.

14:55

Any of you want to

14:57

close your eyes at night with me on the top bunk,

14:59

hoping that the structural integrity of these bunk beds,

15:03

we don't have a three Stooges moment where they just collapse.

15:05

Yeah. Cause we built the bunks. Oh

15:07

yeah. You got to go.

15:10

Well, then top bunk.

15:11

Yeah. We got to put learn on top bunk

15:13

at least then. There

15:16

were pieces like extra after

15:18

the bunks were built. Oh no. Couple,

15:20

couple screws that I think belong

15:23

somewhere that, oh. You got

15:25

air conditioning in this house? Sure. Yeah.

15:28

Thank God. That's gonna be a pretty big deal breaker

15:30

for me. So that's good.

15:32

No. And we Airbnb it out when

15:36

we're not using it. And

15:38

I just read this story about,

15:41

I guess this Airbnb in Korea,

15:44

this couple had booked the Airbnb

15:47

it's in Seoul. So it's listed as Seoul,

15:51

Seoul, South Korea. And I guess

15:53

the Airbnb is not really

15:55

in Seoul, but it's like a suburb.

15:57

So let's say,

15:59

It's an Airbnb in Wildwood and

16:02

it says St. Louis.

16:03

Is it at Incheon? I'm

16:07

not sure of the city, but it's listed as Seoul. So

16:09

if I listed my house as St.

16:11

Louis and then somebody rented

16:13

it and they're like, this is not St. Louis, this is 30 minutes

16:16

away from

16:19

St. Louis. Right. So

16:22

I guess this couple got to the Airbnb and they're

16:24

like, this is not Seoul, this is like

16:26

an hour away. So they tried to

16:29

get their money back and the Airbnb

16:31

owner was like, no, you booked

16:33

it. Sorry.

16:36

Well, yeah, you can see where once you, I

16:38

mean, even before you confirm with the address and everything,

16:41

you can see on a map on Airbnb where

16:43

exactly this place is. I don't think

16:45

you can.

16:45

I think it gives you the approximate.

16:47

Approximate, I mean,

16:48

but. And if it's within 30 minutes, it may

16:51

say approximate Seoul.

16:52

But then you book it and then you get the confirmation

16:54

and then you can see, oh, it actually is

16:57

too far. And then you probably can cancel, right?

16:59

Like you have 24 hours to cancel it

17:00

or. I guess they got there. They

17:03

got to the place and they were like, this

17:05

is not Seoul. Here's the thing though,

17:07

if you're going to Seoul, Korea, Seoul,

17:09

South Korea, do you know it well

17:12

enough? Or if you booked a thing that said Seoul and

17:14

it said Incheon or some other thing like that, that

17:16

you would know. Yeah, I would know.

17:17

I would know. Like I was looking at Airbnb last night

17:20

because my mom was out in California and we're

17:22

talking about going to Laurel Canyon and I was looking up Airbnb's

17:25

for Laurel Canyon. And so as

17:27

I'm looking and seeing cool things, I'm looking

17:30

at the map going, well, how far away is that from LAX?

17:32

How far away is that from the Canyon store that

17:34

we want to go to? So I think if you have

17:36

ideas in mind of where you're going to be going, you

17:39

can kind of approximate like, oh, it's this far from

17:42

what, you know, the airport or wherever the destination

17:44

you want to see your tourist trap that you want to

17:46

go to. Well, so what happened was,

17:49

so the couple gets to the Airbnb and

17:52

they want a refund. And the owner says, no,

17:54

you already booked it, no refunds. So

17:57

they got the keys to this place. And

18:01

about a week or two later, the

18:03

owner of the Airbnb got a call from the

18:06

fire department

18:07

and said, hey, we think there's a gas

18:09

leak at the house. So

18:12

the couple who originally had booked

18:14

it, what they did as revenge was

18:18

they turned the water on, they

18:21

turned the water on every faucet,

18:23

they put the gas on,

18:25

they put every light on.

18:28

Terrible. Wow, dude, how evil. Evil,

18:30

right? That's totally evil. And

18:33

that's, that is, they're

18:35

karma from doing that. So they

18:37

were the idiots that booked this place without really

18:40

educating themselves about where it is. And

18:43

then they wanted to cancel the day that they got

18:45

there, which is stupid because you should

18:47

have like looked through everything before you got there

18:49

and realized what was going on. And then they go

18:51

ahead and ruin this apartment because they're

18:53

upset. It was like, now

18:56

the place wasn't ruined, thank God. Yeah, good.

18:59

So they turned the stove on, they turned all the

19:01

lights on, they put all the faucets on, so it

19:03

was like thousands of dollars worth of water

19:06

and electricity. Terrible. Did

19:09

it flood? Was it? It did not

19:11

flood. It just, everything was on.

19:12

Well, and I've never been to South Korea, but I imagine

19:15

it's stacked, right? Like lots of condominiums

19:17

and apartments or? Yes

19:19

and no. I guess it depends. Not

19:21

as much as what you think. Okay, because I was saying if

19:23

this is a gas thing and they're turning the gas on, what if it was

19:25

an apartment building? You're thinking I think Japan

19:28

stacks everybody on top of each other. Japan is much more

19:30

like that. So the soul is not, I mean you're going through. Never

19:32

been to either. So the Airbnb

19:34

owner went to Airbnb and said, hey, can

19:37

you help a person

19:39

out here as

19:41

far as reimbursement or whatever. And

19:43

I said, you gotta fight it out between the renter

19:48

and you, it's between you two. And the renter

19:50

has already left the country, they're gone.

19:52

Yeah, if they're 30 minutes outside, if they're not in town,

19:54

they're not like stacked up on each other, but

19:57

dude. That's evil, isn't it? Super evil,

19:59

but man.

19:59

It's also like a whoo.

20:01

Thank goodness the place didn't explode. Yeah,

20:04

it's not four foot underwater. Yeah my

20:07

hand

20:09

He brought mark. Yeah, so the fire

20:11

department how did the fire department know is this because they

20:13

must have got calls It's like hey, I smell gas on the

20:16

street. Mm-hmm Dude,

20:18

I

20:19

Can't imagine somebody going

20:21

through with that Having

20:24

the thought and then going I'm gonna turn this faucet on well,

20:26

that's the mind of having somebody Where

20:28

were they from they didn't say I had

20:30

a place that has my name You

20:33

see the article. Yeah, it says they were on

20:35

holiday from China. Okay, so they're

20:38

okay. They were Chinese well, then okay So the

20:40

reviews are gonna be screwed because the

20:42

person who stayed at that house like the owner

20:44

of the Airbnb is probably gonna be Like this person

20:47

gets zero stars and gives them a scathing

20:49

review, which is gonna impact hopefully

20:51

future places They try to go like I

20:54

am so meticulous about Airbnb's The

20:56

last one I went to was in September in This

20:59

little place Louisville or Lewisville

21:01

in Colorado and it was the coolest

21:03

little Airbnb attached to this family's

21:06

house. They did a great job with it. My

21:08

sister and I stayed there I mean, I'm

21:10

all about like leaving it better than when I

21:12

found

21:12

sure Because I want to be

21:14

able to I want to be able to travel and go to Airbnb's

21:17

forever I never want like a bad review or anything.

21:19

Oh do the Airbnb people review you? Oh, yeah

21:22

Yeah, we go through we always go through all

21:24

the binders like five times just to make

21:26

sure like okay put the sheets here Put this

21:28

here put this here. Okay. Did we do all this? Do we do all

21:30

this guys guys everybody like a movie? It's a family

21:32

event we go through this binder to make sure every

21:35

thing that we've been asked

21:37

is is ticked off So you

21:39

ever get one where the Airbnb owners

21:41

gone a little above and beyond of what they expect you

21:44

to do checking out though And been like hold on a second.

21:46

What's the cleaning fee for? I feel like I'm cleaning

21:48

the whole house, right? Yeah, there's

21:51

been a couple where I'm like this seems like an overreach

21:53

of checking out.

21:55

I've done it But it had

21:57

a couple stories of stuff like that like

21:59

you need to to be out by 11 o'clock. And

22:02

if you're not every minute, we're gonna charge you 400

22:04

bucks. You need to take the trash a mile

22:06

down the road to the landfill. The

22:09

only one that made- Had that happened. Only one that made me a little

22:11

nervous was we had a place, we stayed in a place

22:13

that had the master bedroom was in a loft

22:15

type of thing over an open

22:17

room and the open room

22:18

had a pellet heater. And

22:21

I never experienced a pellet heater before, certainly

22:23

not in six feet from,

22:26

well, in my bedroom basically, because it was in the bottom

22:29

floor of this bedroom. Was there instructions

22:31

on how to use it? Hell no. I had

22:33

to look it up. And of course, we're out in the middle

22:35

of nowhere, so I got no service. So I had to look

22:37

up how to

22:38

use this thing just to make sure I wasn't

22:40

gonna kill us. You know

22:42

what I mean? Because I just kept thinking, man, my family's in here and I don't know

22:44

how this thing works. It's putting off heat now,

22:47

but is this something I gotta do work for? Do

22:49

I gotta put more pellets in this thing? Dude,

22:52

I spent probably an hour or two of this

22:54

vacation looking at the pipes outside,

22:57

making sure the exhaust was all good.

22:59

You'd think that there'd be some instructions. Or just like a heads

23:02

up, like, hey, this house is heated by, I

23:04

don't even know what you call these things, but I guess it's a pellet

23:06

heater, right? I don't know what that is. Is

23:09

that the coal furnace? What is it? Is that where you have

23:11

a rabbit on top and a truck? Yeah, it just craps. So

23:13

I had seen pellet smokers before. The

23:16

heater had a rabbit and a turtle on it. I

23:18

had seen pellet smokers before, so I was like, whoa,

23:20

man, it's like a pellet smoker,

23:22

but for a furnace, for heat. So

23:24

it basically has these compressed pellets.

23:27

They look like rabbit, not rabbit poop, but like rabbit

23:29

food, kind of. You know what I'm saying? Like guinea pig

23:32

food or something. And they

23:34

slow burn, and I guess they give off heat. And

23:36

you honestly have a furnace where

23:38

you have a hopper fill

23:40

and you fill it with these pellets, and they

23:42

go in and they time themselves and

23:44

whatever, and they sit there and burn. It's

23:46

technically an open flame. So he's got these two

23:48

big tin trash cans in there, and I'm like,

23:50

what's in those? I open them up, 400

23:52

pounds of pellets with

23:55

scoops in it. So I'm like, do I

23:57

need to scoops this in every three hours? There's no instructions.

24:00

nothing. Man, the coolest stuff, the coolest

24:02

Airbnb we stayed at.

24:03

And this was in Wisconsin

24:05

over the Christmas break.

24:07

It had in the living room,

24:09

an arcade size big buck hunter machine.

24:12

Like they'd be the ones you'd have at like hot

24:14

shots. Yeah. And

24:16

an old school like Pac-Man. This

24:20

is the coolest Airbnb ever. Like

24:23

with the, you know, with the guns, the big buck hunter,

24:26

like arcade version. Oh yeah. Those

24:28

people are doing it right.

24:29

I'm like this for free. I mean, we're paying for the Airbnb,

24:31

but.

24:32

Yeah. We had one that was like the game room was

24:34

off the hook, dude.

24:37

Like ski ball, legit ski ball,

24:41

air hockey, several arcade

24:43

games like that. I don't know if they had big buck hunter, but they had like

24:45

several, like they had the Terminator. You remember the Terminator

24:48

two arcade game? The one of the

24:50

first ones that came with the machine guns would actually like

24:52

kick. Oh yeah, mounted. That was mounted the machine.

24:54

Yeah. They had that. Oh, awesome.

24:56

That was fun. When we stayed at K-C, remember it had that table,

25:00

that was infinity table. Yeah. Remember that Scott. $1,000 it's

25:03

called infinity table. It's got chess

25:05

checkers. It's like a pocket table. That's also

25:07

games. It's a giant iPhone,

25:10

but still also called digital. Yeah.

25:15

But we spent most of our time when we were at the house around

25:17

that thing point. Yeah. It was

25:19

very cool.

25:20

That's the best thing about like going to Lake of the Ozarks

25:22

is that most of the lake houses, if you do

25:24

like VRBO, all of them have arcades

25:26

in the basement. Yeah.

25:27

That's, and so my, this was my first in Wisconsin

25:29

was the first experience. Really? You need

25:32

to go to the lake. I mean, and a lot of the people that are renting out their

25:34

lake houses, we always go to the lake with my husband's

25:36

family and we have nephews

25:38

and a niece. And so we got to have something, a room

25:41

for them to like occupy themselves

25:43

when it's just like downtime.

25:44

Do you feel weird when you're in somebody else's

25:46

house?

25:48

Not like that, no. Like if I'm in your, like

25:50

at your house, I'll be like, oh, I'm in Rizz's

25:52

world. Like that almost feels stranger, but

25:56

like people I don't know that I'll never meet when they're just like

25:58

renting out their house. It depends on how they set it up. because

26:00

you can set it up as like this is our cozy home

26:02

enjoy our cozy home or this is a

26:04

straight-up Airbnb or and

26:07

I hate to push back on the Lake of the Ozarks

26:09

thing because the only experiences that we

26:11

have that have been less than a less

26:13

than favorable have come from there really

26:15

it's real hit or miss I feel it at the

26:17

Airbnb VRBO experience at Lake

26:19

of the Ozarks and there's been a few where you're like

26:22

oh this is definitely somebody's like

26:24

dad or grandpa's lake house

26:27

that they didn't care to do anything to

26:29

and they're just renting it out for extra income they're running

26:31

it out because you're at the lake and I'm definitely

26:33

place at the lake yeah I'm definitely in somebody else's house

26:35

yeah and those are not as comfortable because

26:37

because all you're like you could have signed

26:40

out of Netflix I don't want to know your name well

26:42

you know I know now I know what you watch oh

26:45

that sucks that can be a previous guest though

26:47

yeah yeah we're

26:50

at our place I have it set up where it's a guest

26:52

accounts on I got

26:54

a fire stick what's the Riz check

26:56

out yeah what do people gotta do to check

26:58

when you make them do

27:00

did you set that up or do you even know oh

27:02

you look uncomfortable right now cuz I'm not sure he knows

27:04

he doesn't know no

27:08

I know there's a cleaning fee I

27:10

just want to know what they have to do when they check out do

27:12

they have to let take out the toilet up in bed 20 job

27:15

at Jack yeah I wash

27:17

and wax the car

27:18

like it's almost like a band's writer

27:21

like you want to put something in there like a little nugget where

27:23

people you want to make sure they're reading it all

27:25

yeah and so you do something kind of weird to

27:28

make sure that oh they actually did follow everything

27:30

like open this hanger on the outdoor

27:33

you know doorknob as you leave no it does it does

27:35

say in the listing and this I did make sure this no

27:37

parties hey did you just errors a no

27:39

parties dang did you disclose

27:42

that to all the guests that they know that they're sleeping in a house

27:44

where you drew a giant

27:46

penis and vagina on the side

27:48

of the underneath the underneath

27:51

the siding might be something you need to disclose

27:53

giant dong a giant dong

27:55

on one side and a giant vagina on the

27:57

other imagine if like a tornado pass

27:59

through and like The siding came off and people

28:01

are staying there and they walk outside Yeah,

28:04

the news crews out there really funny

28:07

yeah, Chris Renier Siding

28:11

blows off. There's just a big I

28:15

mean people that are staying in your place. We probably no

28:17

idea people into like symbols and things You

28:19

know, they're not gonna sleep under a certain symbol or

28:21

or you know

28:23

Who knows man when witchcraft? I remember

28:25

right when my wife and I were dating

28:27

28:36

33:29

Oh, don't play it. We're gonna give you up.

33:32

We're gonna let you down. We're

33:34

gonna run around and

33:36

desert you. Okay. Desserts.

33:39

What about this one? Dun,

33:43

dun, dun. Stairway to Heaven. Stairway

33:45

to Heaven. Sadly,

33:49

I was... It almost sounded like another

33:51

song that... Just that little clip that you

33:54

used to... Like Taurus? Yeah,

33:56

like Taurus, my spirit. My spirit,

33:58

that's it. I'm on this one. Randy

34:01

California. It almost sounded like another sound.

34:03

Wow. I'm on this one. Ooh,

34:06

well, this sits in my recital.

34:09

No, no, no. I think it's very vile. It is the

34:11

same. But I'm talking about. It's Ice Ice

34:13

Baby. Under pressure. Under

34:19

pressure. Yeah, moon's right. No.

34:21

Is it Ice Ice Baby? Is

34:23

it? Yeah. Ice. Yeah. Ice. Wow.

34:27

I don't know. We have the samples. They're

34:29

all getting paid. What

34:31

was the famous? He went.

34:33

He goes. No, theirs goes. Ba,

34:36

ba, ba, ba, da, da. And mine goes ba, da,

34:38

da, ba, da, da. Do

34:41

you remember that famous clip? Yeah. Yeah.

34:44

No, it's different. It's um, ba, da, da, da. This

34:46

is quite different. You're getting sued by

34:48

Freddie Mercury, Ice. What

34:52

about this one? Oh,

34:55

that's the best. Let's jump. Yeah.

34:57

Mine's a little bit. Yeah.

35:01

Give it to me, baby. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

35:06

Ow. I mean, like,

35:09

not even a full second of a synth.

35:11

You want to know you get that song.

35:13

That's amazing how many times

35:15

you've heard that song.

35:17

That's what every band is shooting for. Like,

35:19

you don't even need a full, the counter

35:22

was still at zero. Right. The

35:25

counter's still at zero. Amazing. And you know

35:27

that one. A good producer has told the

35:29

band that it's worth hearing it.

35:32

Yeah, but how do we make the intro catchy?

35:35

How about this one? Oh,

35:40

Metallica. Enter Sandman, baby. Nothing

35:42

else matters. No, that's unforgiven.

35:45

Wait, yeah. Nothing

35:49

else matters. Nothing else matters. Enter

35:51

Sandman.

35:52

Crap. Oh, man. Why does

35:54

that sound like nothing else matters? I don't know. How does nothing

35:56

else matter, sir? Nothing else

35:59

matters. The acoustic is

36:02

the open all the open Some

36:09

of these bands like ACDC as well Yeah,

36:12

I know you are an ACDC fan but a

36:14

lot of ACDC sounds exactly the

36:16

same Oh, yeah, and that's that's why

36:18

I like is similar ACDC is the best bar

36:20

band on the world. It's true God,

36:23

man. I Mean

36:25

that's that different. That's just

36:27

a Stairway, oh,

36:29

yeah players That

36:34

was two different ones by the way, yeah. All right, what

36:37

about what about this one? Hotel,

36:40

California And

36:47

Ray if you may know this you've never heard this

36:49

song until you've heard 50 Russians

36:52

singing in unison What? You know why I wouldn't know

36:54

this I haven't seen 50, but

36:56

oh man I've heard this version

36:59

twice What

37:01

other version I listen to the other version what's

37:04

I far prefer what other version

37:06

just Don Felder's It's not alive

37:08

alive one The

37:11

live one is just we're there on this they're

37:13

sitting on the schools and it feels better Yeah,

37:16

just it sounds better. It feels better. I feel like

37:18

this is one of the most common songs

37:20

in our culture This

37:22

and like Sweet Home Alabama. I feel like every American

37:24

has heard At least 40 times

37:27

it comes in your welcome to America And

37:32

you have to know the lyrics to Hotel, California that

37:34

is in your cool uncle starter

37:36

pack to like My

37:39

uncle mark played that in his fourth. He would like hold

37:42

me hostage. It is Ford Thunderbird

37:47

It's

37:50

the acoustic one right where they're all sitting on the

37:52

stools and it was for VH one or something When

37:55

you take your citizenship test they play

37:57

you five seconds of the song

37:59

Tell us what this is. It might be the 94 version.

38:02

Whatever it is, I just, it's

38:04

just better. It's much better.

38:06

That's actually-

38:07

Like the Hell is Frozen over tour? Yeah, probably.

38:09

I think it was right around that time. Yeah, I

38:12

was in middle school, high school, something around there. Riz

38:14

has that in his checkout, Airbnb. He's like, you can

38:16

check out anytime. Yeah, you can never leave.

38:19

You should put that in there. All

38:22

right, what about this one?

38:23

Whole lot of love.

38:26

Are you sure? Yeah.

38:28

Yeah, you're right. Hell yeah.

38:33

Yeah, okay, I got that. What

38:36

about this one? Oh,

38:40

Nirvana never smells like Teen Spirit.

38:43

Just from that one hat, like one

38:45

note. It's all you need. Again,

38:48

it's at, the counter's at one. It's

38:53

iconic. Yeah,

38:55

I guess that is whatever Ben strives for. I've

39:01

played enough times, it's in your

39:04

head. It's

39:07

good stuff. Yeah, how many times have I played that song

39:11

as a rock and roll DJ? A lot. A

39:14

lot. A lot. Do you miss not

39:16

playing music? Do you, like, because you've done the actual,

39:19

like, because you and I are, no one else has done

39:21

just music, air personality shows.

39:24

So do you prefer this just

39:27

open wide range talk show versus

39:30

like getting lost in the

39:31

music? I was a

39:33

music DJ for 10 years.

39:39

Yeah, and you know what, Donnie was out

39:41

last year for a couple of days and I got

39:43

to do mid days and I had a blast.

39:46

It was awesome talking up songs.

39:48

I did nights and weekends for two years. Oh, you did? I'm

39:51

sorry. I did my cousins by Mitzvah. Nobody was listening.

39:53

It was nights and weekends. Did you enjoy that? Was

39:57

it late nights? It was a night and nights. It was the first,

39:59

yeah.

39:59

It was late nights and then Sundays and that kind of

40:02

stuff. It was weekends. Was it here on

40:04

this point? Oh my God. Old building, old

40:06

management.

40:07

Before you were on the RID show?

40:08

That's right. Before the RID show existed. So

40:11

Tommy was probably like, all right, you need to cut your chops

40:13

on doing the music thing. No, actually

40:15

he said, watch the station to make sure that it doesn't burn

40:18

down. All right. And then I turned

40:20

the mic on without permission. You did?

40:22

That's right. I created a show

40:24

and I thought I was gonna get fired, which was fine.

40:26

And created a show and then like three months

40:28

later, we had a meeting about something. I fully

40:31

expected to get fired. And

40:33

the meeting was over and I was like, that's it?

40:35

He was like, oh yeah, yeah. And I heard what

40:38

you're doing on the show

40:39

or on the air. Sounds pretty cool.

40:42

That's awesome, man. That's it? Great, okay.

40:45

So developed the show out of it. I remember the first song

40:47

I talked up to. Not on this station,

40:50

but on my first ever DJ

40:52

was Got the Life from Corn. Was the first

40:54

song I ever talked up on the radio.

40:56

Cause I got a nice long intro. Yeah,

40:59

mine was a Metallica song. Nice long

41:01

intro. See Got the Life though, that's one

41:03

of those songs where instead of talking it

41:05

up, like you make a,

41:07

you're saying something and then the final word that

41:09

you say is like a zinger. And then you hit

41:11

it. Cause it's got that, those drums like right

41:14

at the beginning.

41:14

Well, I wasn't allowed to talk over dead air at first.

41:17

Oh. Like the program

41:19

director said, you were not allowed to talk over dead air. You were

41:21

only to talk up intros. And

41:24

I had no rules because I did not have permission.

41:26

Rebel. You are not allowed,

41:29

and this was like the first

41:32

six months. This was the, which station?

41:34

This was at K-Rock. All right. You are

41:37

not allowed to talk over

41:39

dead air and you are to keep your breaks. That's

41:42

what we, breaks are, you know, your talk, your

41:45

little talk segments, less

41:48

than 10 seconds. Oh yeah. And

41:50

then he would have me. So back

41:53

in the old days guys, back

41:55

when I first started, we

41:57

used to get these cassette tapes and put them in the old machine.

42:00

that was next to us, and every time he'd turn on the

42:02

microphone, the tape machine would start

42:04

recording what was going on in the air. So

42:07

I'd turn my mic on around four

42:10

seconds before I started talking, so this way the tape

42:12

could record

42:14

the tail of the one song and the beginning of

42:16

the other and get my talk break in there. And

42:19

I would take my tape and I would have to leave it for

42:21

the program director so he could listen to it.

42:23

Yeah, a little air check. And

42:26

the air check happened once a week, and

42:29

he would call me to his office, I'd go

42:31

down there nervous as hell, and he would tell

42:33

me in no uncertain terms that I was

42:35

terrible.

42:37

But you're supposed to be. I knew

42:40

that I'd be terrible. And then he would then take the

42:42

tape and throw it at me. Fine.

42:45

And then he would say, here's your homework. You

42:47

were to go home, listen to this tape, and type

42:50

out everything you said. Oh my God.

42:53

Every single, I could have done 20 breaks in

42:56

a four hour shift, five hour shift. But

42:59

he would make me take the tape, listen

43:01

to it, and transcribe every

43:04

single thing I did. That's not a

43:06

bad move. No, it's actually a pretty good exercise. And then eliminate

43:08

words.

43:09

What are the unnecessary words that you used?

43:12

You got to make them bright and tight. Hey, if you- That

43:15

sounds like comedy editing. Yeah, it's

43:17

almost like that. Has this show ever

43:19

been air checked? No. Never.

43:23

I've never been air checked in my life. Been that wild?

43:25

So the first few years, I fully believe that Tommy the Boss

43:27

knew that. I mean, my gold records were on the

43:29

walls. So he knew that you put a mic in front

43:32

of me. I'm going to attack it. I'm going

43:34

to figure something out. And I knew, and I

43:36

had full confidence that I would be awful and

43:38

would just have to figure it out. And

43:40

it was lovely. He

43:42

never air checked me or anything, but when

43:44

he saw improvements, he'd say different things. And

43:47

I caught on pretty quick. And you know

43:49

who really did help me? Les Aaron. Oh,

43:51

I love Les Aaron. Les Aaron is the best. I freaking

43:54

love

43:54

that dude. And my show led into

43:56

his show. And he'd come in and we'd talk about soccer and

43:58

England and Wales and some other stuff.

43:59

other stuff and he would listen to the show

44:02

on the way in and everything kind of give me some pointers so it was

44:04

it was

44:05

it was an interesting time. When I moved to st. Louis

44:07

in 1997 and I started listening to The Point

44:10

I thought it was so ultra cool

44:12

that there was a British guy on Sundays,

44:15

New Music Sunday. I used to fall asleep to

44:17

the Sunday night ritual yeah which I think he either

44:20

boarded or he hosted I don't know but

44:22

I thought

44:23

this is a big city because it was

44:25

just the coolest thing because obviously like we're in the United

44:27

States you don't really hear too many British

44:29

people on

44:31

terrestrial radio and so I always thought

44:33

that gave The Point

44:34

an edge twice. He's amazing

44:36

and he was super

44:39

quiet he was

44:41

just such a great personality but those

44:43

that don't know their history as far as the point like if you really

44:45

know your history know that that guy like

44:48

was responsible for like breaking bands that's

44:50

when DJ's like broke bands and he

44:52

is I

44:53

don't want to say like single-handedly responsible for the cranberries

44:55

in the US but dude like if you look

44:57

it up man the first to spin in the US

45:00

I think so and I mean there's

45:02

it doesn't end with a cranberries like Les Aaron

45:05

had his ear to the original ritual

45:07

that sucked with the techno

45:09

music oh I loved it I had to

45:13

when I first got hired here they go all right your first

45:15

gig is the Sunday night

45:17

ritual over at the Oz it

45:20

was it started at like 11 o'clock on Sundays

45:24

so I'd go down to the Oz 11 o'clock 11 o'clock Sunday

45:27

night oh yeah oh I

45:30

hated

45:30

it I fell asleep to that techno in house I

45:33

dreaded going down there where to the Oz

45:35

at home yeah at

45:40

home

45:44

I was probably there dude that's crazy

45:46

that is 2003 oh yeah

45:49

we were doing after parties maybe

45:51

there might have been some crossover I spent I've walked

45:54

out as the eyes like a vampire

45:56

at six o'clock in the morning

45:58

over to pops

45:59

You know what I'd like to see I'd like to

46:02

see a spreadsheet of that gas station that's in

46:04

front of the odds over the OTB And how much

46:06

how many pairs of sunglasses a year they

46:08

sell I bet it's record-breaking

46:12

Guess I bought 87

46:13

pairs of sunglasses because I would walk

46:15

out of the eyes like a vampire I

46:20

don't think you're allowed to go in that place anymore. I think

46:22

the like it's plucksie glass

46:25

Good for them. I'm not a knockoff Ray

46:27

bins in there, but it's like see glass so you can't

46:30

Have any interaction with any employees there Back

46:33

in those days too. The thing I loved about pops was

46:38

You

46:38

get kicked out and just sit in your car for 20 minutes

46:40

and then they just let you back in there It was just like a penalty

46:42

box. You know what I mean? Yeah, and

46:44

my friends like hang me from my ankles

46:47

From the balcony of pops and I tried to order a

46:49

beer because I thought it was funny and they're like you gotta get

46:52

out Of here and I'm just like I'm sorry man.

46:54

I just went sat in the car for like 20 minutes

46:57

Went back in same bouncer. I go. Hey, man.

46:59

I'm sorry about that. He goes Yeah,

47:04

like what a cool ritual at the Oz I

47:06

mean I remember those car rides down

47:08

there going across the bridge getting

47:10

off at what route 3

47:12

Over there. Yeah to be 21. Oh No 18

47:17

Cuz I never went to I

47:20

thought it was 21 when we were like there was a

47:22

lot of After parties like there'll

47:24

be a lot of pop shows and then banned after parties

47:27

So there was like a rock night. Yeah

47:29

and some other stuff. I mean it was a wild time I remember

47:31

it was the girls in cages.

47:33

Oh, I never saw that. Oh, that was

47:35

the thing That was Sunday night ritual. There were cages on the dance

47:37

floor and

47:41

Girls would get so hammered wait, we would go

47:43

dance in the cage Would it permanent where they're kind of up

47:45

on like like a circular bar like a post or something?

47:47

Oh, yeah Okay, just climb up.

47:49

Okay, there's like four of them on the corners

47:54

On certain nights anybody

47:56

would be able to go alive the point would be live.

47:58

That's insane So I'd have headphones

48:01

on, I'd be in the DJ booth, and it was DJ Reese

48:03

was the guy, at least for part of the Tom House there.

48:06

And Johnny O was the

48:08

board op back in the studio.

48:10

And Johnny O would, you know, count you in, and

48:13

the Sunday Night Ritual

48:14

intro would play. I'm

48:16

like, hey, it's Riz, we're down here. At

48:18

the Oz, it's the Sunday Night Ritual. Bippa,

48:22

bippa, bippa. Yeah. Was

48:24

it all techno, too? Oh, yeah. Oh,

48:27

yeah. That was so sexy. That was so

48:29

sexy. I bet you hated that. Hated it. There

48:31

was like,

48:31

bippa nazi, like Daft Punk. There was, I mean,

48:34

there was a lot of like, techno and house

48:36

music at that time that was coming out that was just

48:38

awesome. Yeah, that

48:39

was like the late 90s ecstasy

48:41

boom, too. So like, everybody's drinking

48:43

water, their eyes are big ass saucers.

48:46

And at the same time, too, there was- Riz is just in misery.

48:48

I'm just sitting at the bar trying to get drunk. There was

48:50

that on Sunday nights, but if you remember on Saturday nights,

48:52

or whatever night it was, they were doing local

48:55

shows from Pops or from, what was

48:57

it? Not Mississippi Nights, but there was another place right

48:59

next to Mississippi Nights? That was on Sundays, too, I thought. It

49:01

was Sundays, like it was Sunday evening. Was

49:04

it called Tequila Wild or something

49:06

wild? Shoot,

49:08

it was that building that was right down from Mississippi Nights. Anyways,

49:10

they would have that local show. I've never heard

49:13

more curse words over the air

49:14

than a local band at 1230 at night,

49:17

live on

49:19

the air on the pop stage or whatever the

49:21

heck it was. Listen, I still love going to Pops

49:24

and I don't

49:26

go there enough.

49:27

Pops is incredible. Pops

49:29

is a true melting pot of America.

49:31

Because at seven o'clock in the morning, when everything

49:34

closes, you got

49:37

your dancers

49:39

just getting off their shift at both of the

49:41

PTs and the penthouse

49:44

or whatever, and it's the changed hands now. But

49:47

you got all the raver kids coming out of the eyes.

49:49

You got all the guys that are still trying to tie

49:51

one on, coming from bars for miles around

49:53

and it's...

49:54

You got all the industry people getting off at three.

49:56

Oh yeah. It was a true...

49:58

And the guys selling hair.

49:59

in the parking lot that would just- The Philly Wagon,

50:02

baby. Yeah. Well, there was a guy

50:04

at one time, and I don't know if he's there anymore, he would sell

50:06

hamburgers, but he dipped the hamburgers in barbecue

50:08

sauce. God bless him. I don't know, it was like

50:11

grade, sea meat. It

50:13

was horrendous, but he would just dip it in barbecue sauce,

50:15

he didn't care.

50:15

And it was the best meal of your life coming

50:18

out of there. Hey, coming from the musician

50:20

standpoint, Pops, for all

50:23

the different factors that you guys just mentioned, all these

50:25

different things, from everything you know about

50:27

Pops, you would assume that

50:28

it's like the other clubs in the country

50:31

that kind of have that same vibe, as far as the sound

50:33

goes. It is one of the best sounding venues,

50:36

and they consistently hire

50:37

good sound guys, good light guys, good

50:40

staff, and bands come, and they go, oh, it's

50:42

one of these places. And they go, oh, you

50:44

know, we're in between two strip clubs and this and that. And

50:47

then they get up there and they go, damn, the stage sounds

50:49

great,

50:50

this place sounds great. Oh, yeah, listen, if you ask- Like

50:52

the sound is, for bands, it's one of

50:54

the greatest places to play. If you ask any touring musician,

50:57

and they can be playing arenas now, you

50:59

go, hey man, you remember Pops? And they go, Pops,

51:02

the place that's in between the two strip clubs, yes I

51:04

do. Yeah, in St. Louis, yes. Yeah, when I got to

51:06

know the POD guys,

51:08

I told them, I was like, yeah, one of the first times I saw you, or

51:11

whatever it was, over in St. Louis, and

51:13

he goes, Pops? Like instantly,

51:15

they think Pops, they're like, oh

51:17

man, because again, you show up and you go, oh, this is gonna be an

51:19

interesting night, you're stuck in the parking lot, whatever. And

51:21

then the place gets packed, like

51:23

you said, melting pot, anybody, everybody,

51:26

it sounds great, the crowds are great, the

51:28

staff is great, this place rules. And

51:30

it's got character, not a lot of music places,

51:33

music venues have character.

51:34

It's gritty, it's rock and roll. Well,

51:36

if you look in the parking lot, they got a guard tower. I

51:40

know, I parked next to it all the time. It's the closest thing

51:42

to the real life double deuce I've ever been

51:44

in. Yeah, it's got the neon

51:46

big guitar out front.

51:48

You know what's weird, like whenever Illinois went, no

51:51

more smoking indoors, because you would go to Pops

51:53

before you had to stop smoking

51:55

and you would just come out and you just reek, and

51:57

that's something that I've just always hated. But like,

51:59

When they went smoke free, I was like, this

52:02

just leveled up this place even more. If

52:05

you could come home and not smell like

52:07

an ashtray. That was part of the whole experience. I

52:09

know it was, but I wasn't that excited

52:11

about it. I love that they have that

52:13

accordion room divider like your church

52:15

has. They would just

52:18

close the accordion room divider and clean one

52:20

half of the building, and then they'd be like, all right, everybody

52:22

over there. Get over the pool, Jeff. And everybody's miring.

52:24

They'd make you leave. You just had to move the other side, and they'd

52:26

close it. They would migrate the other side. So they could clean it in shifts.

52:29

Well, here's what I learned. If you look up on

52:31

the ceiling, they have like a light

52:33

board

52:34

that's got like different

52:36

letters on it. Letters and numbers. And

52:38

I would always go, what the hell is that? Yeah. Can

52:41

you know? I know what you're talking about. Yeah. You

52:44

know what I'm talking about? and there's like

52:46

a cream colored light

52:48

board. It's like the most rudimentary thing.

52:50

It just got random letters on them. What

52:52

was it? It's where there's a fight.

52:55

So if there's a fight that happens,

52:57

that lights up and security knows what

52:59

part of the building to go to. Interesting. Whoa,

53:01

that's cool. That's sweet. I've

53:04

looked at that and I've never known. What the hell is that?

53:06

Imagine the amount of fights that

53:08

you have to have to create

53:10

a zone to fight for it. Right. Yeah.

53:15

That's awesome. A-7. That's

53:17

what I'm saying. It's the real life double

53:19

deuce. Like they had to hire Sam Elliott

53:22

and Patrick Shwayze to come in and

53:24

get all the unruly people. Like bring

53:26

in the cooler. Right. Wasn't

53:29

Patrick Shwayze known as a cooler? I think so,

53:31

yeah. No. Because

53:33

I asked, I go, what the hell is that? I go, oh yeah, oh,

53:35

you don't know that? No, it's not common knowledge.

53:38

So damn, there's a fight in a certain zone

53:40

at Pops. That little thing will, you know, like

53:43

they'll ammo light up at the mezzanine.

53:45

Yeah, yeah.

53:46

Yeah, Pops let me also have my bachelor

53:48

party there. Oh, he did? And they let me

53:50

DJ one night. That was the last time they did,

53:52

but they let me DJ. Yes, that was the last time. That was one of the most fun

53:54

shows

53:55

we've ever been a part of. Was your bachelor

53:57

party. That was so cool. That night I was.

54:00

That was right before the pandemic too. And think about

54:02

how the music industry's changed. Think about all these different

54:05

clubs that have come and gone. We're talking about creepy crawls and Mississippi

54:07

Nights

54:07

and this and that and the other thing. Pops has been cruising and has

54:09

been at institutions since 1981. Okay,

54:12

somebody just emailed in all the bouncers from, if

54:14

you remember this place, because it was right by the old

54:16

station, Club Liquid. Club Liquid.

54:18

Do you remember that? I don't know if that

54:20

was... It was like above, it was like by Have a Nice Day

54:22

Cafe and then it was like... Well, I remember Have a

54:24

Nice Day Cafe. It was above something. Yeah,

54:27

okay. I never was there, but I remember I

54:29

was down in the new station. I remember hearing about it.

54:31

It was some wild... They had like a... I think

54:33

it was liquid that had like a

54:35

moat.

54:36

I hope so. It was like a dance floor with like

54:38

a moat around it. Oh, the moist pit. People would get hammered

54:40

and just fall into this thing. It was like filled

54:42

with

54:43

bubbles. It was wild

54:46

times, man. It was so much... Well,

54:48

thinking back to Scott's Matching Party. That

54:50

was... So that was in February of 2019.

54:54

Yeah, like the last weekend of that February. Was

54:56

that one of the first times you played on stage with us? No,

54:58

because we had done a couple of Rich Show Lives. He

55:01

was a pro by this point. I was a pro by then. Oh,

55:03

okay. That was your favorite though. Definitely

55:07

one of mine. What did we play that night?

55:09

Oh, I think I... I think you played ACDC. No, I think

55:11

I did Nirvana with you guys. Oh, you did Nirvana. We did In-Boom.

55:14

In a wig. Yeah, I get to. I

55:17

had a wig on. Nice. But that was...

55:19

And then the world shut down. Because

55:23

I was like, if this is my last concert ever... It

55:27

was a good one. Damn. Yeah. You're

55:30

lucky. Somebody just put out, looking

55:32

back three years later, the weirdest things you remember about

55:34

the start of the pandemic. And

55:37

that's one of my memories. Yeah. Was like,

55:39

man, the last

55:40

big gathering I was at was

55:43

Scott's bachelor party at Pops.

55:46

They had a great time. That's a good one though. Remember

55:48

when we all hoarded toilet paper? Oh yeah. That was

55:50

a big thing. Or how about empty

55:52

store shelves in general? Super weird. Or

55:55

how about at the beginning of the pandemic was the sourdough starter

55:57

trend. Oh yeah. And where everybody

55:59

was baking.

55:59

bread. Remember that was a big thing. Even I tried

56:02

to bake some bread. Really? Yeah. Oh yeah.

56:06

Everybody was baking bread. Everybody

56:08

suddenly became a baker. Suddenly

56:12

overnight everyone had seen Tiger King. When

56:17

Gal Gadot and all those celebrities saying imagine,

56:20

that didn't go well. That really helped

56:22

me. Extra heat. That helped big time.

56:26

Man, that was probably one of the more cringy.

56:28

Well,

56:29

and I love that song. I love the message.

56:32

I love it. But that was just so weird. And

56:34

like, I wanted to love it, but I

56:36

was even like, no.

56:37

You know what it was? It was for a good,

56:40

they were trying to do good. They were. It

56:42

was all celebrities singing imagine.

56:44

And everybody collectively went,

56:46

we don't need this. Everybody's like, just, we

56:48

need to get our crap together. We don't. Yeah.

56:51

We're all freaking out. We're all freaking out.

56:53

We're all freaking out. We don't need this. And you

56:55

say the words, imagine there's no heaven

56:57

in your beautiful, gorgeous mansion of a backyard.

57:00

Well, that's what it was. I went to Costco

57:03

and physically fought somebody for toilet

57:05

paper.

57:06

Imagine there's no

57:08

Charmin. Yeah. That's what everybody was

57:10

imagining. We

57:13

could see your beautiful house behind

57:16

you. Right. You're doing all right. You

57:18

got 17 bathrooms. You got plenty of TP.

57:21

Zoom parties for, you know, birthdays, graduations,

57:24

Scott's wedding. We watched it. Scott's

57:27

wedding was on YouTube. We

57:29

dressed up. Yeah.

57:32

That wedding is one that my pastor said was the

57:34

smallest wedding he ever

57:36

hosted or performed. And then also

57:38

the biggest because of the online audience. How many

57:41

people tuned in? Did you ever see? It was 20,000 plus.

57:45

Which was the date? Because

57:47

our church life stream, there's a few other places.

57:50

I think someone said a total was like a little over 30 something.

57:52

That's awesome. Yeah. It was ridiculous. Tim and

57:54

I were watching. Here I am. I have

57:57

half a suit on. You look nice.

57:59

I have a suit jacket. And

58:02

one of my... Our family got decked

58:04

out. We had like a whole picture with them in

58:06

the background. It was

58:06

great. Tim had socks on with your face.

58:09

Like he had Argyle King Scott socks

58:11

on that he was gonna wear to the physical wedding. And

58:14

so March 28th

58:16

is your wedding anniversary. And I know that because that's my birthday.

58:18

So we went to your wedding at our house and

58:20

then that night did a Zoom party where

58:23

everybody was dressed up on Zoom. So it was like

58:25

one of the best days ever, even though it was terrifying.

58:28

Yeah.

58:28

We were all afraid of sneezing at some point

58:30

or even clearing our throat in public. Oh man. Even

58:33

now I'm still conscious of that. Yeah. I would rather

58:35

dump in my pants on a plane than sneeze.

58:38

We're having like we were out to dinner last night

58:40

and my son's

58:42

got really bad allergies. So every once in a while

58:45

he'll give a... Yeah.

58:47

And he did that as we were walking by somebody

58:49

and I go, dude, hey, hey, hey. Lock

58:52

it down. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

58:54

Everybody's thinking you're a spreader.

58:56

Yo, his wedding by the way is still,

58:59

it's still up. And just the posted

59:02

video alone has over 13,000 views. Of

59:04

your wedding. That's great. How many thumbs down?

59:07

How many thumbs down? That's a great question.

59:09

Terrible wedding. Thumbs down. Awful

59:11

wedding. Oh my gosh. There

59:13

are 359 thumbs up and one thumb down.

59:18

No! That

59:19

could be for me. Yeah. Thanks,

59:22

mom. Sciprescudo thumbs down.

59:25

Oh no, maybe that's zero. When

59:27

I float over it, it says, I dislike this. I

59:29

thought it says one dislike this. So

59:32

zero thumbs down. Nice. That's

59:34

a good wedding. Remember when our restaurants were selling groceries? Oh

59:37

yeah.

59:37

We bought some.

59:38

There was a place downtown that

59:41

is a restaurant depot. They

59:43

have just huge amounts of produce for all the different

59:45

restaurants locally. And they were like,

59:47

we have to move this food. And the restaurants

59:49

weren't buying the food out of this place. So

59:52

they just started selling it to random people like us. We

59:54

had like literally 50 garlics,

59:57

garlic heads at our house. Just to,

59:59

and we just started to.

59:59

of preserving vegetables.

1:00:01

Or when places like Mission

1:00:03

Taco would sell margaritas

1:00:05

by the jug. The best.

1:00:08

Yes. Where they were selling alcohol

1:00:10

by the gallon.

1:00:11

And I think they may have changed the laws in

1:00:14

the state to allow that.

1:00:16

That was one of the perks. Even Hot Shots was doing that. Like

1:00:18

Hot Shots was selling booze. Like, you can go buy a six-pack

1:00:21

from Hot Shots.

1:00:22

That was awesome, like after, not awesome,

1:00:24

but it was interesting after the restaurants

1:00:26

finally figured out that loophole where they could be like, hey, you

1:00:28

could get a margarita to go when you do your pickup.

1:00:31

And they would give you like the little Capri Sun margarita

1:00:33

pouch that you were like allowed

1:00:36

to have in your car as you drove

1:00:38

home. Well, and it was silly, some of the reasoning. It was

1:00:40

like, well, we can't do that because people are going to drink and drive

1:00:42

on the way home.

1:00:44

What's to say you're not getting hammered at the place

1:00:46

and then driving home? Yeah. That's

1:00:48

a good point. Let

1:00:50

them sell something. And I think

1:00:52

they may have, I think the law is still, you're

1:00:55

allowed to do it. I think they were like, oh, it worked out

1:00:57

okay. Let's keep doing it. The experience

1:00:59

I had before lockdown was crazy because

1:01:01

Tina's

1:01:02

parents moved to Washington, DC,

1:01:05

and I went for the first time. So we went

1:01:07

and did the national mall on like March 10th, 2020.

1:01:13

It was like the week everything was going into lockdown

1:01:16

and it was kind of surreal because it was

1:01:18

so empty.

1:01:20

So it almost felt like a post-apocalyptic

1:01:23

hellscape. Like I was walking

1:01:25

through the ruins of America.

1:01:28

Yeah. The Roman Colosseum.

1:01:30

I mean, there were people, but, and they were

1:01:32

like cleaning the

1:01:34

reflecting pool so it was empty.

1:01:36

Wow. It was really weird. And

1:01:39

it was cool because there wasn't a ton of tourists. Like

1:01:41

I was alone in Abraham Lincoln's memorial.

1:01:43

It was just like me and Tina by ourselves in

1:01:45

there. It was odd. It was odd.

1:01:48

It was kind of surreal because you expect some place

1:01:50

like that to just be teeming with people. And

1:01:53

the closest thing I've ever flown to first class was at

1:01:55

Flight Home because there were seven of us on a Southwest

1:01:57

flight. It was so empty.

1:02:00

Yeah, I got like two rows to myself

1:02:02

right out baby. Did I put the armrests up? Yeah,

1:02:04

right. It's awesome and if you remember

1:02:07

every TV ad Was

1:02:09

the same

1:02:10

every TV ad was this let me see if I could

1:02:12

try to recreate this

1:02:14

so a somber piano music shots

1:02:17

of essential workers and lines like We're

1:02:21

together even

1:02:23

when we're apart Every

1:02:26

every ad was like that.

1:02:27

I feel good Do you remember when? Speaking

1:02:30

of essential workers when everything went into lockdown,

1:02:33

I think it was

1:02:34

Barnes

1:02:35

Downtown they they

1:02:37

illuminated their windows with a huge

1:02:40

STL and a big heart

1:02:43

I just thought that was so moving Do

1:02:45

you remember that like if you looked at it at

1:02:47

night? They put STL in the windows

1:02:49

like it was massive at a big heart

1:02:51

and I just thought

1:02:52

yeah, go ahead I

1:02:53

just said to myself We're

1:03:00

together And

1:03:07

now everybody's back to hating each other all right

1:03:09

here play that music I'll tell you what I was oh Wow

1:03:13

The guy pushed that old lady down at a Sam's

1:03:15

Club really hard just so we could get

1:03:18

one extra roll of toilet paper America

1:03:21

really is a great place to live and grow up We're

1:03:24

all in this together

1:03:29

I didn't want to be right

1:03:32

at the perfect time It's

1:03:34

just a shame that like that didn't

1:03:37

that we didn't do better as a humanity You

1:03:39

know what I'm saying like I was really there was like a moment

1:03:41

of hope when it started right thought oh my god This is worldwide.

1:03:44

We are all

1:03:45

doing well. That's every tragedy I remember

1:03:47

not 11 in New York City They

1:03:50

were there were a couple weeks where everybody was kumbaya

1:03:52

on right and everybody's arms locked and we're all

1:03:54

in this together It's amazing

1:03:57

over the course of history. There's actually a pattern

1:03:59

no no I'm

1:03:59

I'm not talking about that though, because here's the deal. With

1:04:02

the 9-11 event, that

1:04:05

took America up and now we have an enemy

1:04:07

to focus our hate on, right? I'm talking

1:04:09

about pandemic leveled the world.

1:04:11

Obviously, yes, there's different privileges across the

1:04:13

world, but

1:04:14

we're all dealing with this. And I

1:04:17

thought this could be something that

1:04:19

we all collectively as a people

1:04:22

get our crap together and we didn't do

1:04:24

it. And then with that thought. Go you

1:04:26

hippie. Ah. I

1:04:28

know. And I also found

1:04:31

it odd that sense of humor

1:04:33

almost left the world during

1:04:35

the 2020 season. Everyone

1:04:37

got really freaked out. So every commercial, everything, there was

1:04:40

no more jokes. It was just like real serious.

1:04:42

We're allowed to joke. So bad, pandering

1:04:44

so hard to everyone. It's so annoying. You know what's

1:04:46

crazy though, man? He's trying times. Yes,

1:04:49

and he's trying times. Also,

1:04:51

we were really bad at surviving.

1:04:53

The things, because if you went into a grocery

1:04:55

store, you know what was missing? Butt

1:04:58

wipe and meat.

1:05:02

Like things that expire

1:05:04

and are like really non-necessities. The canned

1:05:07

goods were good to go.

1:05:08

Anything with like long shelf life,

1:05:11

Americans were like, corn, no

1:05:13

thanks. Green

1:05:15

beans, uh-uh.

1:05:17

But I will take 3,000 pork steaks. And

1:05:20

it's just like, yo, I'm going to hoard them. Yeah,

1:05:23

that's what we're hoarding. As far as survivalists

1:05:25

go, we were not crushing it. Because

1:05:27

the stuff that would have like, you could have bunkered

1:05:29

up with for long term.

1:05:31

Well, you know who really thrived?

1:05:33

The bidet industry. Oh, yeah. It

1:05:35

was a golden time for the

1:05:38

bidet industry. It was the brownest time. Lovely

1:05:41

bidet. Lovely bidet. He's such a

1:05:43

lovely bidet. That was the real

1:05:45

difficult thing though, coming out, was seeing

1:05:47

who did thrive. And the majority

1:05:49

of the world like truly, truly suffered. And

1:05:51

then a few people were billionaires. You

1:05:54

know what's crazy though, to King Scott's point,

1:05:56

because I write a lot of commercials, a lot of fun comedy

1:05:59

commercials, it's a nice. freelance thing that I do. After

1:06:02

that initial, we're

1:06:04

all in this together in these trying times. I

1:06:07

felt guilty because I had one of my best

1:06:09

years in 2020, because

1:06:11

on the backside of 2020, every company was like,

1:06:14

hey man, people are depressed. Like,

1:06:17

go make them laugh. Will you write? And I was

1:06:19

writing stuff for companies to put in

1:06:22

the can for when it was over, to

1:06:24

cheer people up.

1:06:25

So I was getting a ton of like, punch up work.

1:06:28

And I thought that was a really weird juxtaposition of like,

1:06:31

because he's right. It was like, there was literally

1:06:33

no, nothing,

1:06:34

no comedy, no sense in humor. Nobody wanted to be funny.

1:06:37

Nobody wanted to be the first person to be funny. But

1:06:39

everyone was like loading up for when the

1:06:41

first person did do it. Because they were afraid

1:06:43

of somebody going, hey,

1:06:45

you see what's happening? It's serious. We can't

1:06:47

be funny. Not

1:06:49

allowed to laugh.

1:06:53

And knees trying times. Oh,

1:06:55

by the way, yeah, I forgot they disabled the, you

1:06:58

can't see how many thumbs down on YouTube. What?

1:07:01

Oh, is that a fact? Yeah. Oh. So

1:07:03

let's just assume it got a million thumbs down. A million.

1:07:06

Scott's wedding got a million thumbs down. OK. It's

1:07:09

not bad. I just go with that. Yeah.

1:07:12

That's the lowest I have. You can't see

1:07:14

how many thumbs down on YouTube anymore. No, no, it's.

1:07:18

Well. I want to make people feel like people feel

1:07:20

good, I guess. Oh, that's interesting. You know,

1:07:22

knees trying times. But now I have to watch

1:07:24

the video because I think it's good.

1:07:27

Even though we're not together, we're

1:07:30

still together. I know.

1:12:52

news and your news being sponsored

1:12:54

by Martin Jekko heating and air

1:12:56

conditioning more reliable than your news source man

1:12:59

thinking of everybody who works down to Three Kings

1:13:01

in the loop man, I saw some pictures

1:13:04

of

1:13:06

The aftermath that fire down there yeah, it's

1:13:09

bad It's brutal and it's not just

1:13:11

them. It's the apartments that were above as well,

1:13:14

which also some damages to Places

1:13:17

adjacent to it so Three

1:13:19

Kings in the loop caught fire yesterday early afternoon

1:13:21

morning fire crews said the fire

1:13:24

started around 3 30 a

1:13:27

Started in the kitchen. They're saying it was by one of

1:13:29

the fence By the time fire

1:13:31

crews got there flames are coming through the roof

1:13:35

Dozens of fire crews on the scene

1:13:38

and firefighters

1:13:38

on the scene from multiple different municipalities

1:13:42

The fire had spread to void spaces

1:13:44

in the units that were between floors and

1:13:46

roofs Due

1:13:48

to construction over the years The

1:13:50

fire also caused damage to Iron Age

1:13:52

tattoo, which is right next door Mm-hmm, and

1:13:55

the fire chief said the whole building's gonna have to be rebuilt.

1:13:57

Oh Man, I mean it's

1:13:59

it was The fire was finally put out 2.30

1:14:01

yesterday afternoon. Yeah, burned for

1:14:04

a long time. That's

1:14:06

pretty bad. You didn't know the cause? It

1:14:09

says somewhere in the kitchen. Grease.

1:14:13

The communal rally. I mean, everybody

1:14:15

loves that place and... I had never been to

1:14:17

the one of the loop. I had been to the one in

1:14:20

Depere. That's

1:14:22

a good one, too. Great wings. Yeah,

1:14:25

great food across the board. Great wings

1:14:27

at the break. That's like Manchester, right? Yeah,

1:14:29

there's a Chick-fil-A in that parking lot. Yeah,

1:14:32

it's somewhere close to the Lion's Choice. That's where

1:14:34

I know. That's where your line marks it. But those are my numbers.

1:14:37

It's about 0.3 miles from

1:14:39

the Lion's Choice on

1:14:40

Manchester. That's how you do directions. Is there

1:14:42

a Lion's Choice there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. About a block down.

1:14:45

There's a cane's there, too. Where's our Lion's Choice? Right

1:14:47

across from the grocery store. Let's

1:14:50

focus. Hey, it might be in the same parking

1:14:52

lot, my brother. No, I know there's

1:14:54

a Chick-fil-A. There's

1:14:57

a Chick-fil-A right there. It's right by the West County Mall. Yeah.

1:15:01

Like a ballast and a mantis. I

1:15:03

thought it was further down. I thought it was... I feel

1:15:05

like I'm at a dad meeting right now. Yeah, this is a dad meeting.

1:15:08

I remember the Dairy Queen who was in 1950. I

1:15:11

don't think there's a Lion's Choice right there. Let

1:15:12

me say this about Three Kings in the Loop.

1:15:15

It was such a cool place because they had one of

1:15:17

those vintage, massive bars.

1:15:19

And it's one of those dark pubs,

1:15:22

you know, like when you want to go drinking or having

1:15:24

a good meal, and you don't want like a ton of

1:15:26

lights on.

1:15:26

He's right. Moon's right

1:15:28

there. It's in the same parking lot. But, you know,

1:15:31

whatever. The good news is I see you've been questioning

1:15:33

me for nine years, tell you what. I

1:15:35

see a picture of the bar there and it looks

1:15:37

like it's in pretty good shape.

1:15:38

It could be preserved possibly. Yeah. That

1:15:40

would be cool if it could. Yeah, I always look walking past where

1:15:42

you see the lineup of people in there. It looks so happening.

1:15:45

Hang on, Scott. Moon's right. Wait

1:15:47

a minute. I'm standing at the front of Three

1:15:49

Kings on Manchester and yes, to my left.

1:15:52

There's a Michaels. Yeah, there's a Michaels right

1:15:54

there. Damn it. Goes

1:15:57

to store across the street. There's a grocery store across the street.

1:15:59

The deer breaks across the street if it's near

1:16:02

Alliance choice I am familiar so

1:16:04

like a way that we could support is by going

1:16:06

to this three Kings by the Michaels by the Lions

1:16:08

choice Yeah, and didn't you didn't they win?

1:16:11

They got a really nice patio. Did you mention this didn't they

1:16:13

win the airport thing? Because

1:16:15

oh they're putting a place in the airport. I think they are And

1:16:20

it's it was voted some like best airport

1:16:22

spot. No kidding. Yeah, we talked about

1:16:24

it So there's

1:16:24

ways to rally around them and give

1:16:27

them some profits there went on Del Mar, too That's

1:16:30

the one that burned down. Okay, the one

1:16:32

in the loop is the one that caught fire. Yeah The

1:16:35

one in the pairs is still as far as I know

1:16:38

Still still fine, but speaking of line

1:16:40

choice to see they added a CEO Yeah,

1:16:43

it's a couple couple weeks ago. So it's a guy

1:16:45

from Florida and he says he's got plans

1:16:47

I don't know plans as an expansion.

1:16:49

That's what I heard interesting Expand

1:16:52

beyond the st. Louis.

1:16:54

Well, they've done that before they tried that before and

1:16:56

it's interesting That is somebody from Florida because they

1:16:58

did it in Florida before if I if

1:17:00

I remember correctly they tried one or two down in Florida

1:17:02

and

1:17:03

I think they spread too fast

1:17:05

too thin maybe or something or it just wasn't the

1:17:08

the timing wasn't right I don't know. I had an interesting

1:17:10

meeting years and years ago with the

1:17:12

president of franchising at the time and

1:17:15

man I mean, they just got it. They got it all set

1:17:17

up. It's just such a it's such a perfect

1:17:20

thing Yeah, I think they could do so

1:17:22

well if they do it, right if they do it, right I think

1:17:24

they could do so well across the nation. I did a

1:17:26

spec commercial for them Because

1:17:29

they redid all their restaurants a few years ago

1:17:31

and they wanted to update It's

1:17:34

like Wi-Fi. They want it to be like a hang spot They

1:17:36

put in all this free Wi-Fi and they wanted to like appeal

1:17:38

to Millennials or whatever but

1:17:40

the old Ownership was so married

1:17:43

to this old-timey image of like 30 cent

1:17:45

ice cream cones and something. They just couldn't

1:17:48

well It's one of the reasons they I mean

1:17:50

we I've I've worked with them here But

1:17:52

we saw I've talked probably ten times with

1:17:54

them I got a line of choice tattoo like I did my birthday

1:17:56

parties there when I was a kid And

1:17:58

they

1:17:58

have like this that like that old-timey kind of vibe

1:18:01

and they're like we don't know if we want to show a guy with a tattoo

1:18:03

you know which which totally makes always yeah

1:18:06

totally makes it I will eat turkey sandwiches

1:18:08

at lion's choice if there's a guy with a tattoo

1:18:10

yeah they had some old-school

1:18:12

thinkers over there I get it I get it this is

1:18:14

this is a decade or two ago so like

1:18:16

you know I'm not talking about now they should that was

1:18:19

kind of the prevailing attitude though was like the

1:18:21

commercial was well received all

1:18:24

across we put it out online and it did really well

1:18:26

you know and it was

1:18:27

really in your face I was being very over-the-top

1:18:30

what imagine that and um

1:18:33

the owner was just like no

1:18:37

this is a family 30 cent

1:18:39

ice cream cone it's been but I'm like

1:18:41

but you came to us and said

1:18:43

that you wanted to update the image of like

1:18:45

appeal to Millennials and this is like a kind of

1:18:47

like a bread Co

1:18:50

or you

1:18:52

know Starbucks type like hey

1:18:55

come here hang out we have free Wi-Fi everything

1:18:57

is like cool and updated it's not old-timey

1:19:00

they just couldn't let go of that image yeah the cool thing

1:19:02

is everybody I've ever worked with over there incredible

1:19:04

people so hopefully this isn't this new person I

1:19:08

was listening to the

1:19:10

new case you afternoon guy Josh in a show yesterday and

1:19:13

he did a huge spiel about this and he

1:19:15

is vying to be the new spokesperson for lion's

1:19:17

choice and I mean

1:19:18

sure if that happens I'll kick his ass

1:19:20

no I know just kidding

1:19:22

are you out

1:19:25

of

1:19:25

your mind's place this is like everybody

1:19:27

knows that your place it happens and it's not me

1:19:30

I'm just leaving the only

1:19:32

thing he could do to Trump

1:19:34

you is good a is get a lion's choice

1:19:36

neck tattoo if giant if John if John

1:19:44

I'd get the name right if John and I've texted

1:19:46

him yesterday saying it sounds good by the way yeah if

1:19:49

Josh Ennis gets a lion's choice

1:19:51

neck tattoo

1:19:53

that is the only way he could trump moon

1:19:55

as being lion's choice number one fan he

1:19:57

did a break yesterday where he talked about

1:19:59

here from Nashville and how he and his wife

1:20:02

have eaten at Lyons Choice. They've only been here for like two weeks.

1:20:05

They've eaten at Lyons Choice pretty much twice every day

1:20:07

since they've been here.

1:20:07

Well, you still have 30 years of doing that before

1:20:09

you can ever even get close to getting the radio wars

1:20:12

back. Records, records. And technically I would

1:20:14

like to point out that I am already the spokesman. I'm

1:20:17

the closest thing to a spokesman for Lyons Choice. I've

1:20:19

done an actual commercial for them. Right.

1:20:22

I'm just saying if you want to get into technicalities,

1:20:26

there is already, you have someone to

1:20:28

dethrone. Both of you take it, take them out and

1:20:30

put them on the table. Hey,

1:20:32

get my ruler. You want to see my rose beef?

1:20:35

Hey, hey. Wait, do you want your ruler or a normal

1:20:37

ruler? Get my ruler. You want the regular ruler,

1:20:39

right? Bring in the Hawaiian bread. If you

1:20:42

want to see mine. Hey guys. Listen man,

1:20:44

I just hope that they go nationwide so I can

1:20:46

stop seeing these, the nation's top 10

1:20:49

fry list and Lyons Choice isn't on it. Right.

1:20:52

Because if they go nationwide, then they're finally going to start

1:20:54

making the list they deserve

1:20:55

to make. I love it. Lyons Choice needs to be listening to

1:20:57

this experience right now and realize how

1:20:59

many people are vying to be their spokesperson.

1:21:01

Oh, they, they, they listen. They

1:21:03

appreciate my, my free promo every

1:21:05

other day. Yeah. I think they could use a red headed

1:21:07

person. Yeah. Or, or a woman,

1:21:09

you know, that's the, that's the rose

1:21:12

beef. Maybe it's time to re-share that commercial. I already

1:21:14

shot for you. That is pretty awesome. I ate

1:21:16

a fry there once. And if you do, just

1:21:18

know it will be a personal insult and I will move to Kansas

1:21:21

City. As, as Josh from

1:21:23

KSHE is now booking his appointment with the

1:21:25

tattoo artist. Good luck. You get his, a

1:21:27

Lyons Choice neck tattoo. It's got

1:21:30

to be bigger than mine. Mine came off the fry bag. How

1:21:32

big is your Lyons Choice tattoo? I guess, hey guys, I

1:21:34

guess it's a mushroom hunting season.

1:21:36

I always want to do this. People always make this

1:21:39

so attractive on Instagram and they look so

1:21:41

good. I don't think I've ever even eaten one before. So good

1:21:43

fried.

1:21:43

I watched, I watched

1:21:45

a YouTube video of Blake Shelton and Gwen

1:21:48

Stefani mushroom hunting together.

1:21:50

I love Gwen Stefani and Cammo out in the

1:21:52

woods with Blake Shelton. It's just so weird from the

1:21:54

night. So a mushroom hunter and,

1:21:56

and Peeveley found human remains in the

1:21:59

woods on Sunday. Oh, next

1:22:01

to the mushrooms? Also. Isn't

1:22:03

that what? The remains were found near

1:22:06

the 9,000 block at Taylor Drive. The remains have

1:22:08

not been identified yet. They've been transferred

1:22:10

to the medical examiner's office. PV police

1:22:12

were saying it was a, quote, suspicious death.

1:22:15

Jeez. And they were, they found this while

1:22:17

they were.

1:22:18

Mushroom hunting? Yeah. Whoa. I'm

1:22:21

always afraid that, like, every time I drive over

1:22:23

a bridge, you know, like, if I go over to Illinois,

1:22:26

I always look down at the river

1:22:28

because I'm like, one day, there is going to be

1:22:30

a body floating.

1:22:31

I do this at every bridge

1:22:32

I ever drive. I have seen them pull off

1:22:34

body out of the Hudson River. Oh, boy. You're

1:22:37

far darker than I expected. I

1:22:39

am, man. I've known you for a long time. I

1:22:41

didn't know we were looking for bodies in rivers. Whenever I

1:22:43

pass over a river

1:22:45

or anything, I just want to see a body

1:22:47

of water. Yeah. Not a

1:22:49

body body. No, I saw them pull a body

1:22:51

out of the Hudson River once. I'm sorry you had to see

1:22:53

that. I was super curious.

1:22:56

I could have walked away. Yeah. I

1:23:00

could have walked away, but I want to see. I

1:23:02

know it was not pleasant. My brain always just goes

1:23:05

to like, you know, the water is flowing down

1:23:07

and like, I just, I feel

1:23:10

like it's going to happen one day. I don't want to see

1:23:12

it, but I look because I'm like,

1:23:14

one day it's going to, it's going to happen. And

1:23:16

I'll call it out. There's a body in the river. Your mind

1:23:18

actually

1:23:19

thinks that surely one of these times

1:23:21

I will see a body. And you're, you are ready to call

1:23:24

it. I am ready to call it. I am like ready to do

1:23:26

some good. Like there is a body in the

1:23:28

river. Oh, here comes a bridge. Get my phone ready. You

1:23:32

have nine, one already dialed. Ready

1:23:35

to go with the other one and every

1:23:39

time we've

1:23:41

all been to a youth sports events.

1:23:44

Oh yeah. Some of us, I drink at those.

1:23:47

Some of us have been thrown out. Who's

1:23:49

that? Most recently myself.

1:23:52

Has anybody else been thrown out of a youth sports event? No,

1:23:55

no. As a, as an adult,

1:23:57

as an adult.

1:24:00

No, I don't think so. Okay, well. Seen it

1:24:02

a lot though. Well, we've all seen it. And

1:24:05

I think this is a great idea what this particular

1:24:08

organization is doing. It is Little League season.

1:24:11

So it's time to enjoy warm

1:24:14

evenings, watching youth baseball while trying

1:24:16

to ignore that annoying parent who won't stop screaming

1:24:18

at the volunteer umpire behind the plate.

1:24:21

And when I played Little League, there were these parents. I

1:24:24

will say that my parents were never these parents,

1:24:26

but there were these parents that would berate the

1:24:28

umpires. A town in New

1:24:31

Jersey has already

1:24:33

had several umpires go,

1:24:35

I'm done with this. Screw you guys,

1:24:38

going home. Had

1:24:40

it with your parents. Yeah. Had

1:24:43

it with being harassed by parents. So the

1:24:47

town and the Little League organization has come

1:24:49

up with a new punishment. If you

1:24:51

are caught berating an umpire during a game,

1:24:54

you will be banned from the

1:24:56

complex unless

1:24:59

you suit up to become an umpire yourself

1:25:01

and call three games.

1:25:03

Nice. The only way you can get

1:25:05

back in is if you serve. If you serve. A

1:25:08

three game punishment. A three game punishment of

1:25:10

being the umpire. That's brilliant. Yeah.

1:25:13

So the idea is if you are such a

1:25:15

know-it-all. If you're so much better than me. Why don't

1:25:17

you get out here. Grab some gear. Step

1:25:20

on the plate

1:25:21

and prove how great you are. If

1:25:24

you know everything. I love it. Oh

1:25:26

dude. And there's gotta be like a calendar,

1:25:28

a schedule where like dad rich

1:25:31

is umpiring this game. And then all the

1:25:33

umpires go and watch that game

1:25:35

and go, oh boo hoo. Boo

1:25:37

hoo hoo. That was a strike. You think they're like berating

1:25:40

him while he's umpiring? Yeah. The

1:25:42

umpire should go into the stands and

1:25:44

yeah. Yeah. Jawjacking him. In

1:25:47

fact, okay. So I was thrown out of a youth hockey game. Yes.

1:25:49

I said I was a jerk.

1:25:52

There was a particular situation that happened where my son

1:25:54

was hurt.

1:25:57

And I was yelling for the kid to be thrown out. And then I was subsequently.

1:26:00

I

1:26:00

asked her be removed.

1:26:03

Yes, should I have said things? No.

1:26:06

Was I told to shut my mouth? Yes, and that

1:26:09

was my trigger,

1:26:10

where I got heated. Somebody

1:26:13

had emailed in, and I forget the organization,

1:26:15

they said, hey, know it all?

1:26:18

We are holding a clinic for

1:26:21

hockey refs, if you wanna come down, they're doing it here.

1:26:24

It's in the email folder. The

1:26:28

guy sent us all this information, and

1:26:30

if you're listening, resend it. They're doing the ice rink

1:26:32

right over here. Yeah, yeah, it's like, it's free. Yeah,

1:26:35

the Creve Corps ice rink over here. That's

1:26:37

where I played stick and poke. They're doing like a free clinic,

1:26:40

so if you wanna be an ump, just

1:26:42

as long as you could skate, which I can't skate. A

1:26:44

ref.

1:26:45

A ref, sorry, see? I don't know anything. An

1:26:48

ump.

1:26:49

All I knew that day was you should've thrown that kid

1:26:51

out.

1:26:53

Oh man, if you could find that, it's in the email

1:26:56

folder. I didn't see that. I

1:26:59

remember, dude, I mean, when I was

1:27:01

playing Little League Baseball, we were a serious

1:27:03

team in a serious league, and there's some real serious coaches

1:27:05

and dads out there, and this one guy in particular got

1:27:08

ejected from at least three games that I remember watching,

1:27:10

and this is not a guy with my team, so we're only playing

1:27:12

an X amount of times a year. I saw this

1:27:15

guy get kicked out three times, and I don't

1:27:17

remember if it was the same one or

1:27:19

not. This is the guy I've told you the story about, where

1:27:21

when he was thrown out, he came back with

1:27:23

a briefcase full of bricks,

1:27:25

and was gonna use it as a weapon, had to be held, and

1:27:28

ejected again, but I remember the

1:27:30

same situation down at the Fenton Fields

1:27:33

and this kid, and I didn't know

1:27:35

this until later, but I always remember, he

1:27:37

was a young guy, probably like 18-year-old kid,

1:27:39

umpire, and I remember him

1:27:42

wetting himself while calling

1:27:44

the game. He was standing behind the plate. Because

1:27:46

he was scared? Now, when I was

1:27:48

a kid, I remember this vividly, because I remember

1:27:51

hearing my day going, oh no, he's wetting himself,

1:27:53

and walked over to him and talked

1:27:55

to him and said, you know, everything's gonna be all right,

1:27:57

and I remember that whole exchange, and

1:27:59

I didn't remember. I didn't find out until just a few years

1:28:01

back my dad we were talking about little league experience

1:28:04

because he was one of my coaches And he said oh, yeah, you remember?

1:28:07

Such and such team that coach

1:28:09

would berate

1:28:11

The umpire so bad he

1:28:13

made that one guy wet himself and I went wait a second

1:28:15

What had no idea that the guy

1:28:17

was wetting himself because this dude

1:28:19

was laying into so bad It was threatening to

1:28:22

meet him in the parking lot afterwards So

1:28:24

as an 18 year old kid

1:28:25

this this this kid this kid's just getting

1:28:27

lit up so much He's he's terrified

1:28:30

that while he's playing calling the game. He

1:28:32

wet himself Wow I mean

1:28:34

it was like I vivid vivid memory

1:28:36

of like what is happening around me Kevin

1:28:38

says bad idea on the umpire punishment The know-it-all

1:28:41

dad will make calls

1:28:42

bad purposely to help his kids team win I'm

1:28:44

sure he's not gonna be able to ump his own kids game

1:28:46

now He has to go there a separate day a separate hour

1:28:49

Inconvenience him yeah for a team that his

1:28:51

son's not

1:28:52

on and nobody's gonna want to do that on their off time No,

1:28:55

nobody. Yeah, so this is a really good punishment for

1:28:57

those loudmouth parents Especially if all

1:28:59

the ump's like just fill the benches right

1:29:01

and just start what you feel the stands Yeah,

1:29:04

I think Cory it was from the Missouri ice hockey

1:29:07

official Association. Oh There

1:29:09

it is. Okay referee for free reffing.

1:29:12

Yeah reffing for free They

1:29:14

do it's May 20th. Oh

1:29:16

Webster Webster Ice Arena, okay Hey,

1:29:20

just going back to the thing real fast at Josh

1:29:23

and it says he's gonna cover himself in roast beef So

1:29:25

1:29:27

1:29:30

1:29:32

if you cut him you will see that he

1:29:35

1:29:39

1:29:46

1:30:05

guys. Going

1:30:09

back to the ump thing real quick. Is there any-

1:30:11

No me lines choice. Sorry, Scott.

1:30:14

Yeah, Scott. Going back to the ump thing real quick, is there any

1:30:16

word if they're giving free eye exams before

1:30:18

that? No, I don't know, Scott. Now, naturally,

1:30:21

most of these loud mouths actually don't know baseball

1:30:23

all that well.

1:30:24

So there will still be a certified umpire

1:30:27

at the game to make sure the correct calls are made.

1:30:29

And of course, other parents will let them know when

1:30:31

they're wrong. But yes, Andrew says, try

1:30:34

refing for free. May 20th,

1:30:36

Webster Ice Arena.

1:30:39

I'm gonna forward this to you, Scott, if you could put this up on

1:30:42

the information, up on the blog. He says,

1:30:44

all you need is a

1:30:47

helmet, tracksuit, whistle, and skates. Be

1:30:49

ready to learn. And a good

1:30:52

attitude. I'm out. Can

1:30:54

we also do a Race Lions Choice commercial on

1:30:56

the blog as well? I feel like we need to embed that. Oh yeah, why

1:30:58

not? Let's look at that. Yeah.

1:31:01

I wanna see it.

1:31:05

It still lives out in the wild. Toot

1:31:07

says, a Lions Choice, what a weird thing to flex on.

1:31:10

Here we are. If

1:31:12

you were desperate to find the best

1:31:14

psychic, what qualifications would you be

1:31:16

looking for?

1:31:17

Oh, it's gotta be in like a rundown

1:31:19

random place. Would it be like proven results?

1:31:21

Would it be Yelp reviews? No. Would

1:31:23

it be a PhD? It'd be word of mouth, gotta

1:31:25

look, gotta look the part. I

1:31:28

mean, I've gone to plenty. I know you're gonna hate this, but. Well,

1:31:30

there's a guy in LA, his name is Moro Restrepo.

1:31:33

He has just filed his third lawsuit against a psychic

1:31:35

for defrauding a bet of a thousand bucks and

1:31:38

causing him emotional distress.

1:31:39

So Moro says that his ex-girlfriend

1:31:41

hired a witch to place a curse on him. Uh oh. This

1:31:44

all seems legit, by the way.

1:31:45

So the ex-girlfriend hired a witch to place

1:31:48

a curse on him and he desperately needed it removed.

1:31:51

So he went to a psychic named Sophia Adams,

1:31:53

who he found through Google. She had

1:31:56

a PhD, which she said required

1:31:58

special schooling.

1:31:59

So he chose her. Hogwarts. So

1:32:02

Sophia told Moro, or

1:32:04

Moron, he could remove the

1:32:06

curse by purchasing a $5,100 crystal

1:32:11

from her. Go

1:32:13

on. He gave her a $1,000 down payment and

1:32:15

took the crystal. I

1:32:19

know this would probably shock some, but

1:32:22

the crystal didn't do anything.

1:32:24

What? Did not do anything.

1:32:27

You're kidding me. And Moro thinks,

1:32:30

all right, he's been duped.

1:32:31

Hey, man. I always got stones

1:32:33

on me. I got one right here. I always got

1:32:36

things in my bag. I got stones on me

1:32:38

too. It's just different. I got marbles, if you guys want

1:32:40

to play. It's pretty much the same thing. I got gallstones

1:32:42

from all the roast beef sandwiches I ate at Ryan's

1:32:45

Choice.

1:32:47

So he is demanding $25,000 in damages. What

1:32:50

else you got over there? Let me see that. What? I

1:32:52

just got the one. You keep going. I'm just going to mess with

1:32:55

these rocks. All right.

1:32:57

I need a good skipping one. What is that? Is

1:33:00

that like a shiny stone? You know what?

1:33:02

I can't remember the name of that one. I'm

1:33:04

not that good, but no, I always. You got one

1:33:06

too? No, my dad would know

1:33:09

that. He's a rock hound. We have so many rocks.

1:33:11

I've always loved him. You remember the Nature

1:33:13

Company at the Galleria back in the 90s at the store?

1:33:16

I'm sure

1:33:18

every mall had a store like this.

1:33:19

Sure. Well, that's where they would sell

1:33:22

quartz and amethysts and all sorts of things. What was it called?

1:33:24

Earth something? The Nature Company. But

1:33:26

there's one of those at West County, and they sell crystals.

1:33:29

I love crystals. You come over to my house. I got

1:33:32

crystals in every room. Raph's

1:33:34

in my house. I got a whole witch closet.

1:33:38

But yeah, this guy obviously got duped. Yeah, cool house.

1:33:41

Thanks, man. Somebody

1:33:43

gives me a stone like that. I'll err on the side of caution.

1:33:46

You'll carry it around? I'll carry it around. It's not

1:33:48

going to hurt me unless enough stones

1:33:50

will weigh me down.

1:33:52

I don't want everybody's stones.

1:33:53

There's a store in Maplewood that's excellent

1:33:55

called Mystic Valley. And it's

1:33:59

by Domino's.

1:33:59

in case we're doing dad geography. And

1:34:02

anyway, it's a really cool story.

1:34:05

When I lived in Maplewood, I'd walk up there all the time. And

1:34:07

they always, when you check out, you can dip your hand

1:34:09

in this big bowl of crystals

1:34:11

and you pull out whatever, which one you

1:34:13

pick up first and they tell you what it means. And then I

1:34:15

always keep them in my car.

1:34:17

Listen, I don't think

1:34:19

it hurts. Yeah. There's

1:34:23

energy around earth things. I don't think it

1:34:25

hurts. Okay. I mean, as long as

1:34:27

I'm not spending like an exorbitant amount of money

1:34:29

and my kids are not going to go to college or

1:34:32

be fed that night because I bought this $20,000 crystal.

1:34:36

I want to see that crystal. I

1:34:38

mean, that thing has to be huge. It's $5,100 to crystal. He's

1:34:41

demanding $25,000 in damages. The

1:34:43

psychic's lawyer says that she did not swindle

1:34:46

this guy. And if he gives the crystal back,

1:34:48

she will return his money. I

1:34:51

don't know how this guy has been able to refile this case

1:34:53

again and again. A judge previously dismissed

1:34:55

this claim saying he lacked the evidence and needed to move

1:34:57

forward. So he

1:35:00

got this one. And then he got this guy from Los

1:35:02

Angeles who's facing multiple felony charges

1:35:05

after he impersonated a doctor

1:35:08

and treated thousands of patients.

1:35:12

And the fake doctor's name is Steven

1:35:14

Gavorkian. Oh, come

1:35:17

on, man. Gavorkian? Not Gavorkian,

1:35:19

Gavorkian. Close enough, though. So

1:35:23

doctor or fake doctor Gavorkian, 44 years

1:35:25

old, been charged with five

1:35:28

counts of practicing medicine without a license. This

1:35:30

guy treated people who needed anything from checkups

1:35:33

to people with serious illnesses, including

1:35:35

cancer and viral infections. Any word

1:35:37

on if he had patients survive and do

1:35:39

great?

1:35:41

He wanted people to live where Gavorkian was

1:35:43

like euthanasia. Gavorkian was euthanasia, man. He

1:35:45

wouldn't kill you, but he'd make you real sick. Gavorkian.

1:35:49

He wasn't quite up to Gavorkian. I wouldn't go all the way, yeah.

1:35:52

And he was busted when an undercover agent visited

1:35:54

fake Dr. Gavorkian's office and was given

1:35:56

wrong medical advice.

1:35:58

It's like this guy and then the guy. who was

1:36:00

last week a dentist in a hotel. Yeah. These

1:36:03

two should save money.

1:36:03

I wonder how office diagnoses

1:36:05

were, you know. Like

1:36:08

if he was going old timey doctor, where he's like, well, you

1:36:10

got ghost in your blood, do some cocaine. You

1:36:12

know, like. Yeah, bring in the leeches.

1:36:15

Yeah, exactly. Like, were the

1:36:17

clues there?

1:36:18

Well, the undercover said that based

1:36:21

on what the symptoms that he gave when

1:36:24

he was in the office, like he missed something like

1:36:26

really that

1:36:28

could be deadly. Oh my gosh.

1:36:31

So Dr. Gavorkian is going to do some time.

1:36:34

And finally, in medical news,

1:36:37

even men who try to find

1:36:40

the spot on this. OK, I'll just

1:36:42

start this way. A 24-year-old woman is

1:36:44

somehow OK after a stray

1:36:47

bullet came into her house and hit her right

1:36:49

in her love button.

1:36:50

Whoa. Wow. Wow.

1:36:55

Yeah. So it happened in

1:36:57

Somalia

1:36:59

recently. And her doctors just published a

1:37:01

paper on her. Luckily, she was not seriously hurt.

1:37:03

She was hanging out, relaxing at home, when

1:37:06

a bullet came through her ceiling and

1:37:08

hit her square in the crotch.

1:37:11

And the doctors say, luckily, it

1:37:13

was moving at a low velocity. Otherwise,

1:37:15

she would have been really hurt. It

1:37:17

didn't just land in her lap, though. It

1:37:20

came in fast enough that it got lodged there.

1:37:23

And they released an x-ray that shows it.

1:37:26

So they had to numb her junk to

1:37:29

remove the bullet. And she was discharged

1:37:31

the next day, quote, in good condition. She

1:37:34

was also OK during a follow-up visit last month.

1:37:37

And experts are pretty sure it's the first injury of the kind,

1:37:40

where a random bullet hit a woman directly in her sweet

1:37:42

spot.

1:37:43

Man. Why

1:37:45

did I know that? That had to be so painful.

1:37:48

There's so many nerve endings there. If

1:37:52

you're going to get shot anywhere,

1:37:54

like where all your nerve endings are. Right

1:37:57

in the l- I was trying to figure out a clever way to

1:37:59

say it. Love button work. Love button

1:38:02

right in the old love button, you know what a

1:38:04

marksman this guy is most guys can't find it

1:38:06

at all. Yeah One

1:38:10

shot

1:38:10

one shot it's a my it's a marksman

for a mild concussion after he fell

1:39:53

of a palm tree while vacationing

1:39:55

in the Fiji Islands

1:39:57

Doctors had to drill a hole into

1:39:59

his skull to drain a blood

1:40:01

clot on his brain and had to remove

1:40:04

part of his skull and a second operation after

1:40:06

part of his brain collapsed.

1:40:07

Wow. Should I say Keith Richards? Yes.

1:40:10

You know what? Yeah, I do appreciate those guys because

1:40:12

I have firsthand experience with another one

1:40:14

of their injuries, but it does seem like the one they're out

1:40:16

and about on tour on vacation, like they're doing

1:40:18

stuff. This dude's in palm trees. When I

1:40:20

was in Auckland, New Zealand,

1:40:22

there is a huge,

1:40:25

huge like tower thing. It's

1:40:28

a zip line between one high rise

1:40:30

to another high rise. You get to go. Oh,

1:40:32

dude, it's so awesome. And I was looking forward to

1:40:34

this for weeks. I was gonna

1:40:36

be great. I just happened to be there

1:40:39

when the freaking Rolling Stones were there and

1:40:42

I

1:40:42

get ready to go and they said, I'm sorry, it's closed

1:40:44

for today.

1:40:45

I said, well, wait, wait, wait, it's closed for today. I gotta go to

1:40:47

Australia tomorrow. I'm not gonna be here tomorrow. They'll

1:40:49

come back tomorrow. I was like, I can't do it tomorrow. I wanna zip line

1:40:51

today. They said, well, it's closed for a private

1:40:54

event. Private event. That's all I heard. Like

1:40:57

a week later, I think I actually, what

1:40:59

was this, during the RID show? I think a week later,

1:41:02

all of a sudden you've seen the newspaper, Keith

1:41:05

Richards or Mick Jagger, I forget which one, injures

1:41:07

themselves

1:41:08

on zip line in New Zealand. It was

1:41:11

them. They were up there and he got hurt.

1:41:13

Oh, he did? I think something happened.

1:41:16

It wasn't like a big deal. Well, I know when

1:41:18

they tour, like they like to do things. Yeah, they

1:41:20

take in the world. That's what I'm saying. Isn't

1:41:22

that cool? That's awesome to hear. He's fallen on a palm tree.

1:41:24

Their last tour, I know I was following Mick Jagger

1:41:27

on Twitter and he would just be

1:41:28

out. Yeah.

1:41:29

Yeah, it's the best. He was at the art, he was

1:41:31

at the art museum. That's the coolest man. That's how

1:41:33

to tour. Unless

1:41:36

a big giant band is closing down

1:41:38

all the events that you wanna do. Scott,

1:41:41
