Ozark Howler In this episode of Mondo Freako, host Bob LeMent welcomes Jeff Ponder to discuss his newly rebranded hockey show, Hockey Night in St. Louis, following a 15-year run with Let’s Go Blues Radio. Ponder shares insights into covering local and regional hockey, including unique segments dedicated to beer leagues and St. Louis natives playing across professional and collegiate circuits. The conversation then shifts into a deep dive on Missouri folklore as Ponder takes on a five-question trivia quiz about the legendary Ozark Howler, scoring a respectable 60% by relying on his knowledge of regional geography and history. Following the quiz, Bob and Jeff explore the origins and cultural impact of the Ozark Howler, debating whether the bear-sized, horned cryptid was originally dreamed up as a clever cover story by Prohibition-era moonshiners to deter trespassers. They also touch upon remote wilderness conservation, comparing regional legends to Bigfoot lore and the logistics of audio waveform analysis for cryptid calls. The episode concludes with details on where listeners can find Hockey Night in St. Louis across social media platforms and streaming channels, blending sports commentary with classic paranormal folklore.

That will be the third season. We’ll change it to that. All right. Well, and don’t forget the podcast. Jeff does a podcast. Been doing that for a while. The hockey stuff, you’ve done a variation and this is the new variation, I believe. Yes. So we did a let’s go blues radio. We did that for 15 years, over 550 episodes, which was insane that people actually wanted to hear me talk about sports that much. But yeah, we started this season. We kind of, Reformatted, so we decided to rebrand, and we are now hockey night in St. Louis, and as you mentioned, the podcast how you and i met uh conversations that go nowhere. You can find us on any of the social media, or i guess any of the podcasting platforms, and uh yes it’s literally random guest random topic, and we just talk about silly stuff, which uh it seems, Bob, like you’re kind of into that. I do love silly stuff, that’s for sure. Yep. Definitely. So here’s the podcast. What’s the social handle for podcast? It is podcastconvos. So it’s what you have there and then C-O-N-V-O-S. All together. All together now. Here we go. Podcastconvos. There you go. There it is. All right. Hey, what is it? You got a cactus or something popping up? I got a kitty right here. He’s very interested in what you have to say, Bobby. He sees the cartoon cat and he’s like, what is going on? What is happening? I’m like, hey, my friend. Well, this is Mondo Frico, but don’t forget to check out the podcast right here, here and there. And I’m going to ask you, do you want to do the quiz first or hear the story first? You know, we did the quiz first last time. Let’s do it again. Oh, you want to go with the quiz? Oh, yeah. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. at the quiz this week is about the Ozark Howler. Have you heard of this? Can you see the questions on there? I’ve heard of it, but I’ll admit my memory is fuzzy if I have memory of it at all, but I know I’ve heard of the Ozark Howler. Well, we’ve got five questions for you here, and let’s see how you do. about the Ozark Howler. I figured we’d do something that was Missouri-centric because we’re both in the area. Yes. And here’s your first question of five. Let’s see how it goes. This is an easy question. Which unusual physical feature is most commonly attributed to the Ozark Howler in local folklore? Is it thick ram-like horns on his head, leathery bat wings on its back, a long scaly reptilian tail, or Or feathered talons on its front paws. What do you think? Or I got a hint if you want to take a hint. Let’s just go for it. I’m going to go with the feathered talons on its front paws. Feathered talons. Oh, man. Sorry. That buzzer is kind of harsh today. Witness accounts commonly describe the howler as a stocky, bear-sized feline sporting prominent horns. Interesting. Okay. Oh, boy. I’ve made it too big here. Okay. Next question, another easy question for you, number 205. You know, kind of a slow start, but that’s fine. You’ll be fine. You just got to get more than 50% to win here. I’ll get it. In what primary geographic region is the Ozark Howler said to roam? The Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey? The Plateau and Mountain region of Arkansas and Missouri? the deep bayous and swamps of southern Louisiana, or the high desert plateaus of northern Mexico? I have a hint. Well, I think I know this one. I’m going to guess by its name. I mean, it makes sense to be New Jersey. I’m kidding. Don’t quit. No, I’m going to go with the plateau and mountain region of Arkansas and Missouri. There you go. That’s right. The Ozark Haller is tied specifically to the Ozark Plateau. Go figure. Across Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Interesting. Well, I most know it from Missouri. Right. I don’t know how big the Ozarks are. I mean, it’s a big space. We may look that up here in a minute. All right. This is a hard question. Number three. So you got one right, one wrong. Going into question three. In the 1990s and early 2000s, who orchestrated elaborate hoaxes involving fake sightings and emails about the Ozark Howler? Was it Chad Arment, Lauren Coleman, Ivan T. Sanderson, or Ray Wallace? I have a hint if you want it. Let’s go with the hint. Cryptozoologist Lauren Coleman identified this trickster who flooded message boards with manufactured tails. Okay, so it’s got to be Lauren Coleman. I’m kidding. Sorry. I guess he didn’t say self-identified. Right. I think I got to go. My gut originally said Ivan T. Sanderson. So let’s go with it. Are you sure? Want to call a friend or anything? Sounds like I should be. Let’s go with it. Yes, let’s go with Ivan T. Sanders. Oh, no. Of course, it’s Chad. Chad Arment confessed to fabricating numerous accounts and sightings across Internet cryptozoology, zoological forums. Ivan T. Sanders is actually another cryptid explorer guy. He died a while back. Yes, his name was… with me. You never trust a Chad. Of course it’s Chad. Yeah, it’s always Chad. In every 80s movie ever, Chad is the jerk. That’s right. Anyone whose name is Charles but chooses to go by Chad is a terrible person. That’s right. It wasn’t Chad in charge. It was Charles in charge. That’s right. Everyone loved Charles. That’s right. Charles, good. Chad, bad. Lauren Coleman is also a rather renowned cryptozoological researcher. And Alina from Decatur, Illinois. Anyhow. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Next. Vocalization is a medium question. How do traditional legends describe the signature sound made by the Ozark howler? Is it a rhythmic clicking sound like a giant mechanical clock? B, a combination of a wolf’s howl and an elk’s bugle. Or C, a piercing whistle reminiscent of a runaway steam locomotive. Finally, D, a harsh screech echoing across between an owl and an elk. I do have a hint if you’d like it. Okay. Using deductive reasoning, if it’s called the Ozark Howler, I would think it’s going to be between B and D. Okay. And I will say I’m starting to kind of get a picture in my head of what this Ozark howler looks like. I would imagine it would look kind of like a wolf. So let’s go with the wolf’s howl and an elk’s bugle. Bugle. Okay, B. That’s right. Pales describes its vocalization as an eerie mix of an elk’s hollow bugle and a deep wolf howl. There you go. Nice. All right. Good deductive reasoning on your part there, Pounder. That’s what I do. Ponder. I said Pounder. I’m sorry. All right. Next. So you got two. Get this one right. You get over your 50% and you win. Bragging rights, I suppose. Ready? Medium question. Which famous frontiersman was rumored in early tall tales to have shot and encountered the Ozark Howler in Missouri or Missouri, depending on which part of the state you’re from. A. Davy Crockett. B, Daniel Boone? C, Jim Bridger? Or D, Kit Carson? I have a hint if you’d like it. Okay. So again, using deductive reasoning, there’s a lot of tales of Daniel Boone traveling through Missouri. So that’s what I’m thinking, but let’s use the hint. Oh, you’re going to go with the hint? Here we go. I’m going to go with the hint. He is renowned for his coonskin cap legend and settling along the Missouri River. That’s… Well, yeah, I’m going to go Daniel Boone. Yep. That’s right. Of course it’s Daniel Boone. Daniel Boone. Folk stories claim Daniel Boone encountered and shot t

My son does i don’t seems a little bit too dark for me. So I don’t know if i don’t know i don’t know well i was uh in the city of Lights, oh, wait a minute, I wasn’t, I was in the city of uh the dead recently east st louis that’s right that’s right city of unmarked graves that’s east st louis yeah yeah city of no return yeah that’s right right right some people say. Oddly enough, though, a lot of the people they find are not from the area. They’re from other places across the river. Hmm. It’s kind of like having a wish sandwich. Mm-hmm. Bow, bow, bow, bow. No, I was down at San Antonio, Texas until just a few hours ago. Has anyone gone down to San Antonio? I’ve been telling everybody that I’m like, you know, the Phil Collins Alamo collection is available to view. What? Phil Collins has an Alamo collection? It’s crew t-shirts. Yeah, and he had all these artifacts he donated to the Alamo. Nobody believes me. They’re like, what? I don’t know. I still haven’t looked this up yet. I don’t know. I’m kind of skeptical here. You mentioned this off the air. I’m pretty skeptical on this. I’m like, oh, look it up. It’s there. It’s there. Yeah. So I was in the hottest hotel room I’ve been in in a long time. uh i mean you had like a lady of the night temperature wise i mean what temperature wise it’s like oh okay you didn’t okay you didn’t have like a lady boy or something with you there? okay Come on now and then i don’t know i don’t know what you do there so i was there and uh like the air conditioner couldn’t keep up in my room. It never got the lowest. I turned the thing all the way down, which maybe I shouldn’t have done that. But I mean, are you like me? Whenever I go, I travel, especially in the summertime. As soon as I get in my, my room, I turn the air conditioner all the way down. And then I dropped my pad. No. And then, you know, you go to dinner or whatever, you come back. It’s like crisp. It’s like you’re walking into a frozen wonderland. Right. Right, right. So I did that, and then I come back, and it’s like a sauna. A sauna. It’s a sauna. So then I suffered with the sauna for a few nights. I was there for almost a week. Yeah. And then, like, on the third night, somebody I was with were like, hey, I saw people getting fans on my floor, like box tickets. And I’m like, what? No, they’re fans of Phil Collins. Genesis. So I immediately called the desk and asked for a fan. I got one. I got a box fan. It was mildly better. At least the hot air was moving around a little more. But I have not had that kind of experience. Now, this hotel was supposedly haunted. I did not have any haunted experiences, though. You didn’t bring your equipment with you? I always bring my equipment, Miles. Oh, you mean my ghost hunting equipment? No, I’m not your dick. Yeah, no, I know. I’m just joking. No, I did not, because I heard it. I vaguely heard it was haunted, and as we were going from the airport into the hotel, our Uber driver was regaling us with the haunted stories from the hotel. Hey, man. No, she was a very nice lady, and we stayed at the Menger Hotel, which is a weird name, but Menger, which is like a really, really old hotel right next door to the Alamo. Oh, okay. You know, you could spit on the Alamo from the distance we were. Oh, nice. Yeah, exactly. If you really want to be a jerk. Yeah, well, you excel at that. So, yeah, we were right next to the Alamo and right across the street from the Crockett Hotel, which is another old, old hotel. Yeah. And I had dinner there one night, so… So you threw your weight around like, excuse me, I don’t know if you know who I am, but I like a fan. I need a fan. That oscillates. Why do I sound like the family guy? Huh? You sound like the family guy. You sound like your Chief Wiggum. Oh, I’m Chief Wiggum, all right. No, so I got a fan, which was really, it cut the, you know, because the lowest my room got was 73. And it’s like 90, you know, like 100 degrees outside. That’s not acceptable for me. And I wouldn’t even look at the thermostat after a while because it was so hot in there, like in the upper 70s. Yeah. But, you know, whatever. You’re going to be all right? Yeah, I’ll be all right. But it was an interesting old hotel, lots of cool stuff. But apparently there was some Sally, somebody who haunts the hotel. But I did not see anything. I was too busy upskirting in the lobby. I was too busy. I was there for work. Yeah, you always play that card. I didn’t go out. I was there for work. I didn’t do nothing. I’m the boss. I did go out to dinner on Saturday night. Oh, here we go. Salad. The salad rundown. Here we go. Salad rundown. Okay. Well, you’re always bragging about your salad intake, so I’m waiting for it. I didn’t eat salad on Saturday. Really? It was some type of crazy Mexican lasagna or something. I don’t know what it was. I didn’t. like it too much. Mexican lasagna. That’s what see well that’s the only way i could describe it. Okay. It was like had chicken and cheese and, uh, all your okay so what other stuff some kind of stuff in there. I don’t know. So, uh, I was on my, I walked because it’s about i don’t So I was walking back and got to see all the good nightlife of San Antonio. Oh, okay. Like this one poor guy throwing up, leaning up against the building. It was a good one. Was it your brother? No, it wasn’t. It was not your brother. It was some random guy. He was like… Wait, what did you have? The Mexican lasagna. It was like 1130, something like that. I got really late for me and made my way back. And there was a couple of Puerto Rican girls who were dying to meet me. They seemed to be looking for a good time or something. Somebody to have a good time. But there is… Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. There was quite the unhoused situation down there. But I’ll tell you, now, you know, there’s one thing that I cannot stand. Oh, here we go. Well, no, there’s more than one thing. There’s one thing in this story that I cannot stand. And that’s panhandling. But all of the unhoused individuals, as the proper way to say it now, nobody panhandled me at all. But they all seem to be very hot. Like overwhelmingly hot sitting outside. It’s too hot to panhandle. Yeah, it’s so hot. How hot is it? It’s too hot to panhandle. San Antonio is too hot to panhandle. Right. Even on the Riverwalk with the people who were hiding underneath the bridges that didn’t get shooed away by the police did not panhandle. Too hot, man. Like, eh. Which I found rather intriguing, considering. I get peed almost everywhere else I go. Because I thought you were a woman. Like, I don’t want any boob money, you know? I don’t want any sweaty titty money. Yeah, we don’t want that. So we’re not going to… Here’s a dollar. Liz Ugly Broad. Liz Ugly Broad. She ain’t got no money. So yesterday evening on Sunday… The people that I was with, they wanted to do the little boat ride. Yeah. And so we did do that. And it was so sad. It was probably the saddest boat ride I’ve ever been on. You know, most of the time when you go on a boat, it’s a joyous occasion. Okay. I’ve been on many boats. And every time people are smiling, it’s a fun situation. Yeah. Right? Love something exciting and new. So our guide was Sisto. Let me, uh, Cisco. I’m sorry. Sisto is different. Okay. Was he a friend of yours? No, he wasn’t a friend of mine. Cisco friend, friend, friend of mine. And Cisco was our guide. And we somehow, there was three of us all together. We somehow snuck on in front of a bunch of other people. Oh, nice. They line up to get on the boat, right? They fill up the boat. Yeah. Like, is there a group of three? And the first one of the people I was with was like, yes, we have three. And then we got to walk past all of these people who were really mad and get on that boat. Oh, I believe this. I 100% believe this. And then Sisto led us on. And he was really quite a good guy. So if you’re down the Riverwalk, ask for Sisto. He’s a good guy. But the boat was dead. It was a dead boat. Like all these hundred-year-old people there or something like that? No, it was young people. I mean, there was old people, but there was young people. And we were sitting back there laughing, and he was telling corny jokes and stuff. But I thought he was very clever, and he had a whole routine that he was doing. All these people, silence. Silence. They’re on their tablets. Probably boring. And I’m like, God, I’m like this poor system. I gave him, I actually gave him a $5 tip. Wow. That you found. No, I didn’t find. Yeah. You probably found it. Yeah. Wow. Five bucks. Wow. Dang cash money. Mark this day down. Mark this day down, man. This guy’s, I thought he

I’m in the clamshell nude, like, covering up my whatever. And you’re, like, totally shocked. Yeah. I thought that was funny. I didn’t even read what the captions said. I’m like, I’m not reading this. This is so weird. This is getting so, you know. I went through a phase where I was, like, taking famous artworks and putting our little characters in them. Yeah. Like there’s a good one of Nighthawks, you know, in the diner. That’s a good one. I’m the girl with the pearl earring in one of them. You’re out playing and I’m the girl with the pearl earring. That was a good one. Yeah, I’ve tried hard to be this guy’s friend over the years. It’s not been easy. But I thought, oh, I can’t remember what the name of that was. It’s Venus. I only have like three or four friends left in this world. Unfortunately, this is one of them. Yeah. I’ve tried so hard. I’ll do something else. You want me to do like dogs playing poker or something? No, you’ll probably have me bent over the table or something. I have done nothing inappropriate with your avatar. Me nude in a clamshell covering myself. It’s a classic piece of art. I don’t want to be in it. It’s not you. It’s the snowman. That’s me, yeah. That’s the character of me, yeah. Okay. I can take the picture you have here and put it in there if you want. It’s creepy and disturbing, okay? It’s creepy and disturbing. Oh, come on. You’d be surprised how, you know, you always are on TikTok. You know where I’m at. Yeah, I think I do know where I’m at. I’m on Insta, and they love it over on the Instagram, on the gram. Yeah, no one likes these pictures. Like, nobody. There’s, like, no likes to these pictures at all. Zero. Zero. Every day. It doesn’t mean it’s good, you know? I’m not saying it’s good. I’m just saying it’s there. Because you can doesn’t mean you should. You know what I’m saying? Oh, okay. Okay, let me just give you some tough love. Okay, yes, okay. Let your old Uncle Miles tell you. Yeah, okay. Well, I’m just having fun, and I’m not sitting around mindlessly staring at TikTok. If we agreed on everything, then it would be a boring show. We can’t agree on everything. Yeah, that’s true. Which forms we like and don’t like. Yeah, I don’t know what your hang-up is. It’s just classic artworks. I’m trying to think of other ones. What’s that one with John the Baptist or something? Can you do that? Were you holding the head? Yeah, put my head on. Do that one. I don’t think I want to do that. I don’t want to get into the religious stuff. I have my eyes like X’s. I’m dead. I don’t want to get into religious things. I did actually make one of us in the Sistine Chapel. Did you see that one? As much as I try to avoid it, I’m like… I tried. I can’t even. Well, I’m going to go in a new direction. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll only do Remington pieces from now on. You’re probably like Mapplethorpe or something. Oh, come on now. Now you gave me an idea. Oh, I’m sure you already thought of it. You shouldn’t have mentioned that. It’s so creepy. Even Ted Bundy would be like, God damn. Shit. Well, I’m sorry I’m offending you with our works of art that I’m placing us in. It’s a little weird. It’s a little weird. I don’t know. I think it’s fun. Okay. Speaking of fun, I had some fun over the weekend. Yeah. Or maybe not. So… For reasons that I will not go into, we still have a satellite dish. here at the house. Not one of those big old-time ones. No, no, no. A new, you know, the small one. The small one, yeah, yeah. And something went wrong with it. And unfortunately, something, you know, well, you know how much I hate people coming to the house. Yes, on a scale of 1 to 10. It’s like at least 11 or 12. Yeah, yeah. and so because it wasn’t working right and and couldn’t get it figured out, I had to have them over. Yeah. Which the weird thing was, is we had to wait like a week or something before they came out, which i thought was odd. And then the second odd thing was they came on a sunday Which I’m like, at this point in time, there’s no day of relaxation for anyone. We get packages on Sunday. Amazon will stop by the house on Sunday two, three times sometimes to drop off trinkets. And then now the satellite guy stops by on Sunday. I’m like, what kind of world are we living in? They probably had to fly him in from, like, Ukraine or something. He’s like, all right. You say that, which is funny. Because he was Russian. I knew it. I knew it. So I’m, like, working. I get up in the morning. It’s been godly hot around these parts. So I get up early, and I’m out working in the yard. And this guy, you know, they have a window. show up and it is in the morning. So they’re going to show up sometime before lunch and i’m like well i’m gonna go do some stuff whenever they pull that i’ll you know, stop that and go, you know, do, do my due diligence as the man of the house and, uh, you know, show this guy around or what happened. And, um, so I’m, you know, doing my work and then, and then, i’m I’m mowing some grass and, uh, I’m like, I mean, it’s Sunday. I’m like thinking about this, right? I’m like, God, it’s Sunday. I can’t believe they’re coming on a Sunday. I got nothing to do when I’m mowing the grass, but think about, you know, putting you in a clamshell and, and, uh, you know, and I’m like Sunday, I go, I hope this guy isn’t hung over, you know, what’s that? What is this? Decatur? Yeah. What is this? I did actually, I saw, not on TikTok, but I saw a reel where somebody was listing the 10 worst cities in Illinois, and Decatur was like number five. Right before Danville, I think. Danville was on the list as well. I watched the whole list anyway. Oh, I know. I’ve seen this list before. Aurora was on it too, by the way. Yeah, I know. So, but anyway. I digress. So I’m waiting for this guy to show up. I’m like, gosh, what if he’s hung over? And so then I finished the front yard where I can see people coming and going. So I stopped because I’m like, if I go in the backyard, everybody’s going to be mad at me for not paying attention because I can’t see the driveway and everything. So I’m like, I’ll just go and get something to drink and hang out because he’s supposed to be there. And so… I go in for a few minutes, and then he shows up. And I open the front door, and this guy, I swear to God, he really looked like he was struggling. I want to work on your computer. Exactly. He sounded like Chekhov or whatever. he’s like, uh, the dish and i go yeah yeah and so uh i you know show him okay uh where is uh you know and i go it’s out here. So I’ll take him outside. And I mean, this guy looks like he’s, you know, had about two hours of sleep. This guy’s case in your house. Yeah. Well, No, actually, I don’t think so. He turned out to be a really, really nice guy, but he, you know, I think he overdid it, you know, Saturday. Yeah. And so then, you know, we go outside and I don’t have the dish on the roof anymore. I had it on the

I’m going to have a little bit of cereal tonight. Yeah, I was… What was your dinner? What did you have for dinner? Chicken strips. I had some chicken strips. You created a monster, Chick-fil-A. Oh, my God. This guy, I swear to God, he spends like half his paycheck on fast food these days. I’ll just have to get some of that homemade lemonade as well. Yeah. And a cookie for $1.50. Didn’t you used to eat out quite a bit? I still do from time to time, but yeah. But there’s another issue where I have to travel, and so I’m forced to eat out. I can’t take a kitchen with me. Really? I just can have protein shakes, I guess. I could just take a bunch of Slim Fast or… under your chins. Oh my gosh. You shouldn’t really be eating this late, honestly. I like to do things that you disapprove of. Well, you’re doing a good job. See, like, I don’t work for you. Like, these stupid people have to work under you all the time. They have to kiss your ass.

When I drive around by myself, I think of funny stuff. Well, that’s good. Yeah, it’s like creative for me. Well, that’s fantastic. I can appreciate that. I mean, it’s not really funny, but I mean, you know, I think it’s funny. I’m laughing at the grocery store. Yeah. That’s me. Buy some sugar smacks. I pulled a muscle laughing in the grocery store. That’s right. Like that schnooks. I pulled a muscle in the dairy aisle. Ha ha ha! All these cheese jokes came into my mind. You see, you see. Jello pudding. Oh, my Lord. Yeah. I’m just. Hey, you know, I was going to tell you here. You are, you know, a trendsetter. I’ve been told. Go on. Who told you that? My mom. Oh, okay. Yeah. Those tough skins are going to make you a trendsetter at school. Really? You don’t need Levi’s. You need Cavaricci. Tough skins. No, I went to lunch with some friends of mine. Oh, this guy with the lunch in front. Geez. I love to go to lunch with friends. This is so… I’m just jealous I have no friends. That’s why I’m so jealous. You’re not going to go to lunch with friends. I think I’ll invite my invisible friends and they won’t even go. I’m like, God damn it. So, Hefe met me for lunch and another friend, Erk. And the funny thing is we all came from different directions. So, we met in the middle because Hefe lives close to me, but Erk doesn’t. And So he came south, I came north, and then Jefe was screwing around out west, and so then he came east. And we all met for a lunch in a little town. Mm-hmm. Ferguson? What’s that? Ferguson? No. Ferguson? No, it wasn’t Ferguson. No, it wasn’t Ferguson. Go ahead. Go ahead. Not Ferguson, no. I mean, a little, you know, like farmer town kind of place. Oh, I see. And a bump in the road, as it were. But it was on Labor Day. Oh, fancy. And so we’re like, let’s go to the cafe. And it was closed. And then let’s go to the pizza place. It was closed. So we’re in this little town trying to find some place that’s open on Labor Day. It was kind of a tough thing. But while… We were waiting for Hefe because he’s kind of late. We were at the pizza place waiting for him. And this guy comes walking. We were just sitting outside. They were closed. And they have a bench outside. So we sat down on the bench and we’re just chatting, waiting for Hefe to show up. And… This guy from over at a body shop or something, some kind of mechanic thing, right? He’s wearing the shirt with his name on it, and he’s all dirty looking. He’s obviously a very hardworking man compared to myself. Yeah. Who’s just sitting on this bench wishing that pizza was open. Yeah. around lunchtime. Uh, Hefe is, uh, violating one of your rules of being late. Oh, Hefe is always late. I don’t know what it is about me and my friends who are always late. You, you have like certain strong likes and dislikes. I’m just telling the audience this, whoever might be listening, but, uh, this is one of them you you have to be you have to be early 10 minutes early. If you’re going to meet this nitwit, make it 10 minutes early. We continue on. Hefe’s always late. It’s only gotten worse since he’s semi-retired. He’s out of the game, man. He’s like, I don’t care. I want to show up whenever I want to. He’s kind of like that before. We’re sitting there and this guy from the… I don’t know, auto place over there. It crosses the street. Wow. He’s making a beeline for us, and I’m sitting there, and I’m like, I wonder what’s going to happen now. Are you the male prostitutes I ordered? Yeah. I don’t know if that was the case. Are you Irk and Bob? Yeah, a little small town kind of thing. And Hefe drives in at the same time. And it was, you know, kind of like everybody was meeting, you know, all meeting out in the desert or something. And… Yeah. It’s like the good and bad and the ugly at the end. Exactly. Blondie. Hey, Blondie. Blondie, Blondie. Shoot, shoot. So Hefe’s… pulling in this guy’s crossing the street. Me and eric are sitting there chatting and i’m kind of keeping an eye on this guy, you know, trying to figure out what the hell’s gonna happen yeah like are we in his favorite spot or something? Is it break time? Is it smoking time? I don’t know what’s going on. Bob does like strangers either. Oh no. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I had, yeah, I’m, you know, I’m the situation I’m sizing up the situation, deciding what needs to happen. Your bingo card is filling up quickly. I can tell on this adventure. And so, uh, so he gets over clay. He doesn’t come too close. Thank goodness. He, he did, uh, you know, I live my life like a celebrity. You can’t come within certain amount of feet from me. Right. Yes. This is true. This is all 100% true. I like to have a good distance between me and the regular folk. This is true. Even though I’m not a celebrity per se, I do like to live my life as if I am one. And you should know not to look at me, not to talk to me. Correct. And be more than two arms length away from me at all times. No hugging. No hugging. Yeah. No kissing. Yeah. none of that stuff. So he does keep a good distance and he stops. He’s like, Hey, guys, did you know that the pizza place was closed? Newsflash? Yeah, newsflash. And I’m like, Yeah, pretty, we’re aware of that. And he’s like, Oh, I wasn’t sure if you thought maybe somebody was coming to open it up. And I’m like, No, they got a sign. And I go, we’re just waiting on our friend. And at the time he just pulled in and he was getting out of his truck, walking towards us. I go, we’re just waiting for a friend here. And he’s like, well, this was like the most awkward sales pitch I’ve ever been heard. Sounds like a Rolling Stones song. So he’s like, well, he kind of looks around and, I don’t know what’s going to happen. My wife, and again, not sure where this is going, has opened this bowl place downtown. I’m like, bowl place? I didn’t say anything, but I’m like, what is a bowl place? Like a haircut? No, like you get a bowl and you put some rice and some chicken in it. Oh, he’s the… Uh, hype man for the, yeah well, he was the most awkward hype man i’ve ever seen. This is closed. You go downtown. Well, I’ve got a bowl shop. Like having goober pile. Tell me about a bowl shop surprise surprise surprise that’s gomer i’m talking about Cooper. Oh, sorry. I don’t know what i go ahead. That’s that predates me. I don’t know. I’m like, huh? He’s kind of kicking the dirt and looking around. Yes, you got it. Hands in his pockets. Shucks. Shucks. You got it. hype man. And I’m like, huh? You know, I’m still trying to figure this out. Yeah. Yeah, the bowl you know. And then, you know, Jefe walks up and he does, Jefe dismisses everybody. Yeah. He’s like, looking at the guy like, what the hell is he talking about you know I mean, yeah. Hefe does not care about anybody in the vicinity most of the time. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. And so, so yeah. And the guy’s like, go on. She’s open up now. And I’m like, and Eric is just, I don’t think anything. He’s just like looking at him and I’m like, And out of the three of us, to be honest with you, Erk is the most worldly person. He’s been all over the world because he was in the military, so he made him go all over the world. And it was a little forced world tour he had to go on there. I think he’s probably got sealed carry, so he’s not the least bit scared. He’s like, mm-hmm. Well, yeah, that’s yeah. No, I, I bet. No, I bet you right now. The two of the three people probably had uh weapons within reach yeah and i’m not one of them. So yeah, I don’t want to see a weapon yeah so yeah they they had no, uh, qualms abou

This Week On this episode of LeMent Tonight, host Bob LeMent welcomes Las Vegas comedian, bartender, and street musician Steve K. for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on navigating the comedy world. Steve opens with a self-deprecating monologue touching on getting older, the indignities of open mics, and feeling like an outsider in entertainment. The discussion quickly pivots into an honest dive into Steve’s 20-year obsession with stand-up, where Bob challenges Steve’s tendency to get trapped in his own head and hyper-focus on local scene politics. Offering tough-love mentorship, Bob encourages him to stop obsessing over peer validation, lean into his unique raw perspective much like Rodney Dangerfield did, and measure success by the creative act rather than the pursuit of fame. @tomedy601 https://youtube.com/live/0EaFjA6ayF4 Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody, it’s Lament Tonight. I’ve got my special guest tonight, Steve K. Steve comes from Las Vegas, Nevada. he’s an eligible bachelor there in las Vegas. he uh part-time uh drag queen, full-time bartender, I think, right? So, let me read you a quick bio that he has here. He’s a comedian who just does not feel like he fits into the comedy scene. Isn’t that all comedian Steve? But I cannot stop thinking about doing comedy. So, here i am. Maybe I can feel part of a community here. That’s his plausible bio. Steve K. from Vegas. How’s it going, Steve? Um, well, thank you, Bob. Thank you for having me and hello to all your listeners out there. Well, I was gonna you can do a little monologue here if you’d like. I’ll just kick it over to you. Oh, I feel like we’re on the Jimmy Fallon show or Jimmy Killen. I get to go out on the stage. Yeah. Where’s the band? Well, here, hold on a second. Let’s see. Gary, are you there? And that’s what she said. Oh, yeah, that’s true. Bob, you are a great a*****e. Thank you, Gary. All right. Go ahead, Steve. Okay, I’m just going to read some crap to you guys. I’m reading right off a piece of paper. I can afford to do that here because you can’t see me and my glasses. I just want you to know that I am competing very hard for my next gig. as a shopping cart attendant. I believe I got what it takes. I won’t let anything or anyone stand in my way. Not even my comedy career. I really feel I got this. And between the busting music on the street and DoorDash, I won’t need to work anywhere else and I can focus more on my open mic career. There we go. Hey, thank you. Give me the light. In comedy, we have the light, Bob. So give me the light when my time’s up, all right? Oh, I’ll just, I’ll give you the hook, but go right ahead. Yeah, give me the hook. You know, they used to say when we were young, don’t trust anyone over 30. Now it’s the opposite. We’re being erased. Okay, look at a magazine, 40 successful people under 40. Every time there’s an acting gig, they don’t want us. The jobs I work, young people ride around in golf carts, three, four of them, or they’re hiding and they come around to make sure that I’m not leaning up against the wall. In speed dating, all the groups of 25 to 35, 35 to 42, you don’t have anything really above 42. Maybe incorporate a 55 plus island but we will be the final generation. I know, don’t laugh at your own words. Thank you. Some foods know not to enter my mouth because my body is like the Hotel California. You can check in anytime you want, but it can never leave. It takes me two days to shit out a slice of pizza. Passing gas is your body’s way of saying, hey, I got food trapped inside of me. Sometimes I feel like a rocket ship that keeps trying to take off, but it can’t, so it keeps shooting out flames. Never ask a woman… Thank you, Bob. Thank you for the mercy laugh, the mercy symbols. Two more jokes and you’ll be out of your misery, everybody. Never ask a woman her age. We should all know that by now. It’s written somewhere. in the Ten Commandments, but it’s a double standard. Just like it’s okay for a woman to clean a men’s room when men are urinating. Recently, a woman bluntly asked me how old I was. I told her the truth. She replied, still kicking it. Huh? As she looked me up and down, I said, stop sizing me up. What the hell does that mean, still kicking it? anyway you haven’t you haven’t kicked a bucket yet? You haven’t kicked over? Yeah, but i i’m still kicking it. I’m kicking it hard. Thank you. When I was a child, they were tearing up the woods. So I tried putting up uh flyers oh they’re tearing up the woods, right? And every time they’re tearing up the woods, I thought, wow, you know, new kids are gonna move in and i’m gonna make some new friends because i didn’t have any friends. That’s why i was riding my bicycle around in the woods, right? Well, these kids, they would not be friends with me. They were rich kids. They became friends with the popular kids. So then not only did I not have any friends, but I didn’t have any more woods to ride through. So I tried putting up flyers, like for a flag football league. Nobody showed up. You know, this is before the internet. I don’t know. Oh, oh, wait, one more thing and I’ll stop, all right? Well, I’m going to bring it up. I’m going to turn it around, okay? I got an email from Plausible. Anybody, you should all join Plausible because you’ll get it on the email list. You can participate in, like, workshops and comedy. And they sent out emails. Who’s on your comedy team? And I had to think about it. Nobody but me. If I were in a bubblegum shrimp boat… Not even Lieutenant Dan without his legs would come join me. I try to start an open mic here. Applause will go to Forrest and friends. I get everybody one day notice. I sat there for one hour. Nobody’s sure. This is my career in a nutshell. I will hand it back to you, Bob. Thank you. Oh, okay. Let me give you some applause there. Well, I was wondering at one point there during your monologue if we weren’t going to be starting a support group here. Well, that’s what it is. Comedy is a support group. I’m not going to lie. It’s just something I do. I think you’ve got a couple of different divergent support groups going. You have the constipation support group and then also the comedy slash support group. So maybe you can combine the two. Why not? I mean, I try to start an open mic implausible, but apparently I’m not cool here. I’m not popular. Well, nobody is. You know how it goes, Steve. I know. I try not to take it personally. I’m trying to find a funny in it, Bob. You’d be on TikTok if you were really popular. I’ve been on TikTok. It’s a horrible app. That’s where Miles is right now. Miles Title, my co-host for Static Radio. He’s over on TikTok right now. I guarantee it. We won’t touch him, will we? Oh, no, I judge him constantly. Totally judge him. All right. Well, let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about you, Steve. So you’ve been doing comedy for how long now? I started in 2006. Really? 2006? And what was the catalyst to do this? Well, I was always a writer from a time I was 12. But I went on a website for a local comedy club where I lived. And it was like a little ad site. comedy classes. You too can become a comedian. I think it was $250 for the class. Now, I never thought about how do you become a comedian. I like some comedy. I’m like, wow, you could take a class and you could actually do comedy. I never thought about it. Wow, I’m going to take this class. I made up my mind when I saw that ad. I was 39 years old and I took the class. And ever since then, I quit many times. I walked away, but I’ve been obsessed. I’ve been obsessed with comedy for the last 20 years. Interesting. But it sounds like, I mean, is comedy… It’s not doing it for you. You have all these kind of, you know, bad experiences. Because of me. I have to take accountability for what I did. What were you doing? I’m just like a piece of wood that needed to be sanded down. I was rough around the edges. I’m the guy… who goes from one extreme to the other, who doesn’t talk much or talks your ear off, who doesn’t know how to make things, who’s too real maybe, too open about himself. There’s too much for people to handle. Gotcha. Well, that’s a good question. So you thought that maybe you were touching on subjects that people were uncomfortable with? Uh, yeah, I, I believe it wasn’t funny. And, and, uh, you know, I’ve been told many times, this is not your therapy session, Steven. You have to talk about things that people can relate to it. That’s part of my problem. I have to, I have to let go of my narcissism and, you know, make it about other people. That’s how you get people to like you. That’s why I’m so alone. You know, I’m, I’m too self involved. Well, how can you get out of your head? That’s what you always got to do. You got to get out of your head, you know? Have you tried anything else? I mean, you took a comedy class. So, I mean, you showed some initiative to do something, right? That you thought, oh, this will be interesting. I like comedy. I want to do this, right? And now you’ve just told me one of the issues that you’re having. So why haven’t you attacked that issue the way you attacked the comedy thing? I think I finally found the formula. It took 20 years because I mean, I told you I’ve been going to open mics on and off, and I was the awkward, clumsy kid who couldn’t fit in at these mics. I always made maybe one or two friends, or I would get paranoid. I thought I was too popular, and I would just disappear and hide for two years. And in comedy, when you disappear, when you stop coming around, it’s like you’re erased when you come back. You know, nobody knows you. You’re a couple years older, too, and people don’t like old people. So that’s, you know, I’m just… I… Now, why do y

The Wink Man, yeah. Well, you had a story. I don’t really have a story this week. I can’t think of anything. I mean, I could talk about you making fun of me. That’s about it right now. You know, I don’t know. Yeah. So you said you had a big story today, and then you did not like my response. You’re going up on story. Yeah, this jabroni reminds me that we’re recording tonight, which I had forgotten. Yeah, well, every time there’s a holiday. I do. It screws me up, man. It’s like me. I’m like one day behind. Your work doesn’t call you and go, are you going to show up? Miles, now get down here. We had a three-day weekend. I thought I didn’t work anymore. Yeah, get down here, Miles. Somebody’s got to make the donuts, Miles. Another old reference. Thank you. Everyone’s going to be lost in this. I went to a big box store for my plumbing needs. What kind of plumbing needs did you have? I got like a leaky shower thing going on. And it’s been going on. Is it leaking in the shower or outside the shower? No, in the shower. Like the faucet part is like… To me, that is… If I was going to channel Miles’ title, I would say that’s taking care of itself because there’s a drain right there. Everything is working. Yeah, it’s perfect. Why do I need to deal with it? Because it’s working still. After about two weeks of this, I’m like, I better fix this. And a water bill that went through the roof. Yeah, I know. Because I just paid the water bill and it was like 20 bucks higher. I’m like, what the f**k? Everyone is showering all day while this leak is happening. I haven’t showered for a week because of the leak. And I went to the first big box store, which… know it’s like a huge store, but there’s only like four people that work there. So there’s like no help, you know, like, okay, well this well then just go to YouTube. That’s what i do. Well, I had to get the part and stuff. I had to figure out what i had to get. I I’m old school. I go to places okay no problem and uh so i went to the second box store because, uh, my, Like, my oldest son’s best friend works there i’m like oh hey yeah you know, Big Dave will help me out, you know. Well, what’s up, Miles? I heard you got a leaky flower. Even though it’s the wrong department, you know, I always bug this guy anyway he’s like i all i do is water the flowers. That’s it. That’s all i do. I just get the carts. Why do you insist on asking me these stupid, like, this makes up the answer. That’s why i’m out here. I don’t know i was like, I don’t know. I’ll three. I don’t know. F**k. I don’t know. I’ve never, I didn’t even, I only, I just walked through. I go to the break room. That’s it. I take a crap. I come back out. I get the cards and water the shit. And yeah, that’s it. And, uh, I realized early on the big Dave is not at work. I’m like, Oh, so I went to the actual department by myself. Like a big boy. Big boy. And I found the desk that the help should have been at. And it was unoccupied. Of course. And it says, today’s crew members for your needs will be Christy and Susie or something like that. like oh that sounds nice. You know, it’s probably too, you know, young lady. Very efficient, uh, licensed plumbers yeah yeah i’m like i’m like i don’t care. You know, anybody could work here. I don’t care. I don’t want to talk to no broad plumber. And I, uh, no, I did not play that card, but anyway, I, uh, I cannot find anyone in this department. So I go to the next department and there’s like, dude, it looks like a very young Santana working there. Hey, Santana. I go, Hey, I showed him a picture of my nasty bathtub. He’s like, Oh, you guys ever hear a soft scrub? Yeah. Like, wow. What the f**k? You may just want to replace all that. Yeah. Yeah. Good deal. Yeah. Did they have a bathtub from Ed Gein’s house? What’s with all the toenails? Yeah, what is that? He’s cutting toenails in there like 24-7. Yeah, right. So I explained it to him. He’s like, oh, well, I’ll just summon one of these ladies over to help you. Right, yeah, the experts. I’m like, oh, okay. I’ll just sashay my way back over there, you know. I go there and I’m hanging out looking all cool. You know, you sashay is very funny. Yeah. I’m walking like some geisha, you know, it’s like, yeah. Yeah. If you’ve ever seen the old Warner brothers cartoons, the guy, the big guy kind of dancing around Ferdinand, the bull. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, Uh, so I wasn’t there too long. Right. And just out of nowhere, this lady like is be lining over there. Like literally, literally, I didn’t even say anything. Right. This is her. I’ll like, this is her coming in and she’s like, yeah. Okay. Well, what I got called over here. What do you need? Yeah. I’m like, I’m thinking this isn’t, you know, it’s Christy or Susie, I don’t think. And I say this to everyone. This is not a sexist remark. I go, what do you know about plumbing? Which I think she really took the wrong way because that kind of amplified. You ever hear the term f**k around and find out? Yeah, that’s a different. This is what happened. She watched you sashay across the store. She’s like, oh, all right. We got a jackass right here. Some sexist jackass, you know, sashaying around. Well, I’m here. I got him here for your question. Where’s your important question at? Where is it at? Come on. You don’t even know what you need. I was a little intimidated by this woman. I’m going to be honest. It looked like she was in her early 30s. Okay. And she was not having it with me at all. She probably had a tough day with a bunch of jackasses like you. Sashaying around. Sashaying around the plumbing department asking stupid-ass questions. I told my wife, I go, either she was getting ready to eat lunch or she’s trying to take a crap or something and got coming over to help me. Right? Yeah. And oh my God. Yeah. I don’t know what I interrupted, but I really regretted the whole, I’m like, you know, uh, I’m not, yeah, I don’t want to come back here anymore. I’m like, I didn’t think I’m going to get bullied, bullied three knuckles deep in a DeWalt sander. Yeah, no shit. So, uh, I finally would, you know, get out what I wanted to tell her. Like, excuse me. I know. I know. It’s like a bad Woody Allen film. You’re going to have to take it apart and you have to bring it in and I got to see it because as you can see over here, there’s 800 types of these things. Literally, literally, literally. Do you know how to turn off your water, young man? I said, hey, do I need to turn off the water with this? Yes, you do. He goes, yeah. I was like trying so hard to defuse it.

Rug Burn Bad AI Transcript There you go. There you go. Thank you. Hey, everyone. This is Jebediah Yoder singing your favorite rap hits. This week, I will sing Up In Here by the great DMX. Let’s hear it, Jebediah. Your grandma’s going to be wishing you were fishing something. I don’t know. Let me digest your holes in your chest and… Maybe you need to print out the lyrics, Jebediah. I don’t know the lyrics. Jebediah doesn’t have printer. He doesn’t have to print out. Maybe you should get that hammer and chisel and a rock. I’ll have to talk to my son, Noah. Noah, you’re there. Oh, my God. Hey, everybody. Welcome, Orienta. We have… Yeah, I don’t know. It’s funny voice night tonight, everybody. Have to do a funny voice to be on the show tonight very funny so uh how’s everybody doing? It’s like 100 degrees around here hey a lot of ball sweat Yeah, it’s very sweaty. That’s for sure. I’d like trying not to be outside because it’s so oppressive. How about you, Miles? Is it hot in there? It is hot in the city tonight, Bob. Yeah. Hey, I read a statistic that people in Iowa are more likely to die of cancer, like they’re the fourth leading state out of the 50 for people dying of cancer. I think that actually is true, yes. Yeah, it is. It’s true. We’re right up there, yes. Yeah, you’re way up there. That’s for certain. Yeah. I wouldn’t be surprised. Man. Yeah. Yikes. What are you doing against that? But we’re 50th in autoerotic asphyxiation deaths. Oh, really? I don’t know. How’d that happen? I don’t know how that is. It’s really skewed. It’s weird. It makes no sense. Do you think there’s any kind of correlation between the two? Well, when you’re good at one, yes. I don’t know. I’ve got the cancer, but I’m not going to wank myself to death. I can’t do it. I’ve got prostate cancer. No wanking. It’s just me. Well, I hope you’re doing okay. Don’t drink the water. I think that’s the problem. Too late. I drink this freaking iced tea every day around here. Oh, my gosh. Boy, if you get the new Lipton Ivermectin blend, you’ll probably be all right. Oh, yeah. No, it will never happen. You’ll probably be fine. It takes care of the cancer, and the COVID, and a million other things that you could possibly run into, you know, brain-eating amoebas and all that kind of stuff. I choose death over taking a horse tranquilizer for my health. Really? Or a horse, not a tranquilizer, but a… Horse medicine? Be warmer, whatever the f**k it is. Be warmer, yeah. You know, I’ve always said, do they have the rural king up there by you? No, come on, we can’t afford that. You got Farm and Fleet? farm fleet some shit. Yeah. I don’t know perhaps yeah I’ve heard of it okay any one of those places I’ve mentioned, if you know, if the shit goes down, get yourself to one of the TSC tractor supply. Any one of those places is going to be your refuge. Whenever, you know, stuff starts going south. Oh, Because they have, number one, they have weapons. Yeah. They got medicine. Right. Now it’s for animals, but that’s okay. They got clothing and food that’ll last forever. Yeah. Because it’s all uber processed and like packaged individually. You know what I mean? And they got bait. I didn’t really put that much thought into it, but okay. Jail and otherwise. I’ve never seen that, but okay. That’s fine. No, I’ve always said if everything goes to hell, head right for the rural king and barricade yourself in there. You’ll be fine. It’s like that old James Brolin movie where he’s locked in that department store with those Dobermans. He’s got to kill him with their bows and arrows and stuff. Oh, yeah. That’s a great one. I was thinking more of Dawn of the Dead, but that’s okay with the zombies. I was thinking more of Killdozer, but I don’t know. He was in that as well. I love the 70s. I love the 70s. You know me. True enough. I fixed my dryer last night. You can fix anything. Well, from the looks on people’s faces inside this house, that would be a shocking statement, I think. Dad, shut up. You’re stupid, Dad. So the dryer was making this hellacious noise as if there were owls being crushed. Oh, God. And I’m like, well, let me look this up. Oh, Jesus. And sure enough, I figured out, well, there’s these little rollers in your dryer that hold the drum so it turns, you know, smoothly. Yeah. And sometimes their bearings go out and then they get stuck. And then, of course, it just goes… Anyway. Yeah. And so I’m like, well, just order me the parts. So we get the parts ordered, you know, and then they were supposed to show up, I don’t know, days ago or whatever. Anyway, they… I love how Amazon delivers on Sunday, which just blows my mind. You know, living my whole life where you don’t get any deliveries on Sunday. Right. Now, all of a sudden, Amazon’s like, f**k that. I’m delivering everything. And we get like three deliveries on Sunday. I’m like, what are these people doing in my house? They’re not allowed. It’s Sunday for Christ’s sake. Go home. Leave me alone. Don’t look behind that curtain. Yeah. Yeah. Quit looking in my window. Quit taking pictures of my porch, for Christ’s sake. I was thinking about more Wizard of Oz. Don’t look behind that curtain. Anyway, go ahead. So anyway, they deliver everything late on Sunday. As well, they work late on Sunday. I’m like, God, these poor people. Everything’s gone to hell as far as jobs and stuff. Right. You got to work late on Sunday? I mean, what kind of world are we living in? Anyway… They leave it there, and so I’m like, well, you know, I got to get this done, right? I watched a video on YouTube of this guy who bumbled through it, and I’m like, God damn, this guy is the worst. He had to take things apart like three. Like, why is this video the number one video for fixing a dryer? This guy basically took this thing apart like two or three times, and then, well, I had to start over again. Wow, Christ. Here’s the next house fire story. Jesus. F**k. So it took him, he said it took him like an hour and a half. And I’m like, I’m not very good at this kind of stuff, right? So I like at least two hours, two and a half hours, I figured. And so I start, I dig into it. Yeah. Because basically you have to disassemble the dryer, right? Yeah, that seems hard. That’d be hard. Yeah, I know this is not. We’re out of Miles title territory. Yeah, about five minutes ago, I’m like, f**k, I don’t want to call the guy over immediately. Like, you fix it. Here’s 50 bucks. So I start taking it. I figure out and start taking apart. Now, the problem is the model that the guy in the video had is not the model that I have, of course. Oh, of course. Top of the line. So I got to figure out how to pop open this m**********r. And so I finally get it apart. And actually, mine was better made because it had extra parts in the video they didn’t have holding things together, bracing and whatnot. And so I was like, hey, we paid top dollar for this. Yeah. This is great. You’re like a combination of Professor and Mr. Howell from Gilligan’s Island, I think. That’s right. Oh, my God. Lovey. Bring me my wrench, Lovey. No, I’m – so this gives me a throwback. I grew up being the wrench guy. Yeah. And I did not like it one goddamn bit. Right. Right. Because I was the youngest. And so my brother, my father, I was always the fetcher. I would fetch things. So now that I am the one, you know, I guess in command or whatever. Command. Yeah, in command. I do not have a fetcher usually. It’s a very rare occasion that I actually ask somebody to fetch me things. We’re busy. I just usually use that opportunity to take a break and get something to drink. You know what I mean? I was a gopher. Yes, thanks, Michael. And so I’ll take that opportunity when I have to go get the other wrench to go down, get something to drink, get something to eat or whatever, some chips or what have you. It’s just a little break at that point since I have to walk out to the garage and go get stuff. Waddle. Well, yeah. So the weird thing is I’m really not, I mean, you say I fix anything. I’m not a fixer, although I will try historically speaking, but as I’ve gotten older, I’m like really grouchy about these things. And I’m just like, I’m just going to do it. Oh, you’re getting your serious face. You get like your, your crunched up eyes. You get. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. I’m like Clint Eastwood of handyman. Yes. Yeah. I can’t whistle. Anyway. Trying to do the good, the bad, and the ugly there. Anyway, so I’m like, yeah, I’ll just do it. And everybody’s like, you can’t fix that. You can’t fix that. You know what I mean? It’s like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I’m going to fix this. It’s going to take a while because I don’t move very fast, but I’ll get it fixed. And what I’ve noticed is now… that I’m, you know, Mr. Gotta fix it. I’m also Mr. Always hurt myself. Oh, here we go. The bad knee. Here we go. No, no. Thankfully I did not hurt my, I am very careful on the knee. Yeah. I dropped the, uh, I had to take the whole front of the dryer off to get to this drum. I think the whole thing apart, take the front off. You can take this brace off, take the drum out. You got to take all this shit out. Right. Right. There’s not really much to a dryer that I found out. And I was like, God, you know, even though I got the best one, it looked like I paid too much probably. But anyway,

Miles was telling me about his masturbation notebook today before we started the show. You know, all I did before the show was I mentioned, I know Bob had worked some places and done some stuff, and I just had asked him a few questions. He got very uncomfortable about it. And so, because now I’m not allowed to mention that either to people. Oh, no, come on. I’m just like, out of the blue, you asked me these questions. I’m like… Do you sit around all day thinking of these things? Is this what you do with your time? It’s like, really? All day long, I sit around. Things come to mind. God forbid you learn how to use artificial intelligence. I don’t need it. The kind of weird crap you’d be pulling out of there. I just drive around and think of funny stuff. Okay. Gosh. I don’t know.

And I actually injured my arm also the night of my birthday, the day I almost died. Right, yeah. I was playing air hockey and I injured myself, but I didn’t really… I know. It wasn’t my fault. I didn’t hurt you. I injured myself, seriously. I f****d up my arm playing air hockey that night. I’m like, this guy’s decrepit. It’s like going to the Crypt Keeper’s birthday, for Christ’s sake.

I go, he’s definitely like older than you even, you know, he’s got giant bags under his eyes. Yeah. Like he’s packed his bags ready to go. Right. So anyway, why have bags under my, I don’t think so. No, you don’t. You’re you’ve been blessed. Thank you. With, uh, sexy hair and no bags under your eyes. Oh, well that’s, I am such a, you’ve got sexy hair, like Leanne. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, anyway, he tells me his age. No, this guy is like almost like four years younger than me. I’m like, oh, wow. Oh, the chiropractor though yeah this wrestler it’s a rusty character he looks like he could have been like maybe at one time, you know, I’m just saying. Yeah.

Altamaha-ha On this episode of Mondo Freako, the host welcomes guest Julian (host of the Not Enough Questions podcast) for an episode exploring Georgia’s celebrated river cryptid, the Altamahaha—affectionately known as “Alti.” After kicking things off with a debate on the horrors of Atlanta traffic and a 5-question trivia quiz, the discussion shifts to the lore surrounding the 20- to 30-foot serpentine creature said to haunt the brackish marshes near Darien in McIntosh County. Deeply rooted in indigenous Muscogee Creek and Yamasee oral histories, Alti is often described as a river-dwelling, plesiosaur-like beast with a snout resembling an alligator or gar, contrasting with skeptical theories pointing to misidentified Atlantic sturgeon or manatees. The pair examine the broader global phenomenon of freshwater “Nessie” sightings before diving into a map breakdown of the remote Georgia coast. While Julian questions how such a massive creature could evade modern surveillance, the host argues that the sparse, winding waterways and potential ocean migration routes offer plenty of hiding space. Weighing ancient folklore against modern skepticism, the episode closes with final verdicts on a 1-to-10 scale: Julian lands at a skeptical 3/10, while the host rates Alti at a 6/10, giving weight to centuries of indigenous testimony and the vastness of the coastal swamps. Not Enough Questions https://youtube.com/live/rcGEpwZTsbE UFO Witness Game (Click Graphic to Start) Transcript (AI transcription) Julian, how’s traffic in Atlanta? It’s going well. It’s going well. Mondo Frico. Hey, everybody. Welcome to Mondo Frico. I am here with Julian. Julian, how are you doing tonight? I heard you had some traffic problems today, no? Yes, yes. Atlanta is known for its traffic. Everybody talks about Los Angeles and New York when it comes to traffic, but I can tell you I’ve never been in any worse traffic than in Atlanta. You were right. You will not find anything worse than Atlanta. I would say a second close, oddly, was Nashville. Really? I’ve never been to Nashville. Oh, literally on the highway, come to a complete stop. You can’t even see Nashville. It looks like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Everything stops. And then you just creep along until you finally see the skyline for Nashville. It’s just kind of like Atlanta because Atlanta is that way too on the highway. Sometimes you’ll just stop in the middle of nowhere close to Atlanta and really not even see the city. Where in Los Angeles and New York and everything, at least you see a city. That’s very true. That is very true. And I haven’t heard Nashville is a… Tennessee, Atlanta. Yeah, exactly. It is Atlanta and Tennessee. You’re correct. I think you’re right. But, yeah, it’s the worst traffic, yeah. And I’ve been in all of the places I mentioned. I’ve sat in traffic in all of them. And, I mean, even New York City traffic wasn’t as bad as Atlanta traffic or Los Angeles traffic. Mm-hmm. It’s amazing. Don’t they also have more lanes as well? They do. They do. But, I mean, there’s a lot of lanes in Atlanta. I can’t remember. Los Angeles has like seven lanes. I don’t know. It’s just crazy. But, you know, still, it doesn’t matter if you have 100 lanes. If they’re all stopped, nobody cares. They’re like, this is terrible. Terrible if everyone has an accident and you can’t make a left turn. Yeah. Exactly. It’s pretty bad. Well, welcome to Mondo Freako, Julian. And we have a topic tonight. So on the show, just a real base to catch everybody up in case they’ve never seen it before. We talk about cryptids, UFOs, the supernatural, the paranormal, typically in a bit of a humorous way. But also we talk about, you know, what’s happening with these things. And at the end of it, you and I will have a quick discussion on what we think about it. Is it real? Is it fake? Is it legend? We’ll find out. Now, I always give everybody a choice at the beginning of this show. Well, first of all, tell us a little bit about Not Enough Questions and EQ Pods. I always like to get these things at the front because then if people don’t listen to the whole thing, at least they get to hear what you’ve got going on. All right. Not Enough Questions is a podcast that I run. And I say it’s, what do I say? It’s a podcast where you can find, not every episode is for everyone, but you find a piece of humanity in every episode. We talk about… Well, it’s a serial killer podcast. Is that what you’re saying? No, no, no. Oh, okay. Sorry. It’s more so a perspective-based critical thought question. Oh, okay. Thank you. Yeah, I should have said that. Yeah. Maybe I’ll get a merger on there. You know it. A piece of humanity in every fight. Yes. Questions range from what is your dream job? Can you have two feelings at once? What crime would you commit knowing you’re going to get caught? And some more funny ones, some more serious ones. It’s a great time. It’s an hour. Yeah, it’s an hour podcast. Oh, there you go. See, look at that. I’ve actually been on the show with Julian at least twice. Twice, twice. Yeah, I was just saying, I think it’s twice. And it’s a lot of fun. And I can’t, I’m sorry, I don’t remember my question, but I think there was not enough of those questions. I can guarantee you there’s more to come, right? I think the questions I said actually were the ones that you were on. What was your dream job? Oh, right. Okay. And then came how to feelings at once. And I said, professional Tanner sitting in the sunshine. That was my dream job. Something like that. No, I don’t think I said that at all, but everybody should check it out at any Q pod on the socials, or you can follow this link tree, not, It seems longer than it really is. Not enough questions podcast. So when you say it, it’s like, wow, that really rolls off the tongue. When you look at it, you’re like, gosh, there’s a lot of letters there. But it’s all good. All good. So at the beginning of the show, I always ask the guests, we always have a quiz. And I’m going to give you the option of either doing the quiz before you even know the topic or… We’ll talk a little bit about the topic. I’ll tell you about the topic, and then you can take the quiz. I’d rather take the quiz now. Oh, he’s going to take the quiz. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz right off the bat. All right, let me get the quiz up here for you. Tell me if you can see it. You might not be able to read all of it. I’ll try to make it bigger for you here. Okay. Let’s see if I can. Oh, my goodness. I hit the wrong button. Hold on a second. Let’s start that over. Don’t give that answer. Here. Is that a little bit better? It’s better. I’ll read them off. Don’t worry. I’ll read them all off to you so you don’t have to memorize them. And you already heard the wrong answer. If you get the wrong answer, what you hear is a buzzer. I love the hint. You can take a hint. Okay. The legendary creature Ultimahaha, affectionately nicknamed Ulti, is a cryptid reported to inhabit which state in the American South? Is it Georgia, Ohio, Idaho, or Alaska? And if you notice there, it says easy. Yeah, because I’m like, I’m knowing these questions like this. No, no, no, no, no, no. I think Georgia. Georgia should be The only southern American state in here. Yeah, I don’t think Alaska is in the southern part. There you go. Correct. Altamaha is Georgia’s most famous river monster legend. Primarily with the Altamaha River and coastal marshes around Darien and McIntosh County. Now you kind of know what we’re talking about tonight, right? So… According to eyewitness folklore, this is question number two so far. You got one correct. According to eyewitness folklore, which physical description fits how Ultima Ha-Ha is typically described? Is it A, 20 to 30 feet serpentine river creature with flippers, ridged skin, and an alligator or dolphin-like snout? B, a giant eight-legged turtle wearing sunglasses? No. C, a winged lizard that nests in high pine trees and only feeds on acorns. Or D, a miniature freshwater shark covered in bright neon feathers. I have a hint if you want it. These all sound very interesting. And I’m trying to think which one would I more likely see. I want to say a winged lizard. You want to go with C, a winged lizard? A winged lizard. Okay. And I have a hint. You sure you don’t want the hint? I don’t want to take the hint right now. All right. Oh, sorry. Witnesses usually report a 20 to 30 foot aquatic creature that undulates vertically through the water, sporting paddle-like flippers and a long snout. All right. You got one right and you got one incorrect. It’s fine. You’re doing fine. You’re doing fine. That’s why I wanted to take the quiz now. Okay. Now, this one’s a hard question. It says, long before European settlers documented sightings, legends of a giant snake-like river creature in this region originated with which Native American group? Was it A, the Muscogee or Creek, and the Yamase peoples, B, the Inuit of Northern Canada, C, the Hawaiian monarchy, or D, the Aztec Empire? I have a hint. I’m going with my gut and saying A. All right. The Muscogee Creek and Yamasee oral histories describe a large water serpent or river beast inhabiting the waterways of coastal Georgia centuries before any modern sightings. Hey, you’re doing good there. You got two correct. We got a couple more to go. We got five questions altogether. Which historic coastal Georgia town serves as the cultural hub of Altamahaha, lore, even featuring a dedicated statue and adopting the monster as its local mascot. Is it A, Darien, B, Paris, C, Honolulu, or D, Reykjavik? I have a hint. I would take a hint. Yeah, please give me the hint. This small port city sits right at the mouth of the Altamaha River in McIntosh County. Well, since I don’t kn

This Week In this episode of LeMent Tonight, host Bob interviews Southern California stand-up comedian John Liu, exploring his background as a first-generation Filipino-Chinese American and his journey in comedy. The conversation touches on John's day job as an auditor—which he deliberately keeps separate from his stand-up routines—as well as his experiences performing across the United States and internationally in Taiwan and the Philippines. After playing a lighthearted improv game where John offers intentionally terrible advice for dating and dinner parties, the discussion shifts to his love for cooking traditional Filipino dishes like adobo and kare-kare, followed by reflections on vegetarianism, religion, and the practical challenges of owning and operating an independent comedy club. https://JohnLiuComedy.com https://youtube.com/live/lSicf2OlkSo Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody, it's Lament Tonight. guest tonight is john Blue. Or is it live? Now, how would you pronounce this, John? I pronounce it it makes it easier for my neighbors. Yes, sir. Oh, okay. You're totally ignoring the eye pretty much. I'm trying to be less central me i'm not trying to be less egocentric. Let's talk about you So John Liu is a first-generation Asian American. You give your heritage as Filipino and Chinese on your bio. You're based in Southern California. You have a sharper tongue, as we just heard. And your comedy centers around growing up in a multicultural background, being a first-generation immigrant, current events, and dealing with the ever-changing American zeitgeist. You can catch him… at JohnLiuComedyLiu.com. John Liu, how are you doing tonight? Cheers. I'm doing great. I'm chilling in a city called Anaheim, which is, as if you may know, may or may not know, is the hometown of Disneyland. Lovely, beautiful day in Southern California. The heat is finally letting up. The humidity is letting up. And there's some wild parrots hanging around outside. It is a good day.Were you at Disneyland today? No, no, no, no. A friend of mine is running a comedy show. So before I showed up, before I logged in, I dropped in to say hello. Support local comics, support my friends, all that good stuff. Well, that was awful nice. I do what I can. Were you just there for support or did you do something else? No, it's a theme night, actually. I have a friend. His name is Eric Escobar, Hilarious Comics. plug for him uh he run he's doing a special comedy night uh at a local brewery called cast comedy night these are all current or former disney performers so i went down to catch you know catch his comedy and you know see see some comics and now i'm here with you and this is a wonderful setup thanks again for having me bob you're so gracious my goodness are you your mother must be very proud of you. I hope soYou're so polite. So now you just said for current or former Disney performers. Now, what do you mean by that? Well, OK, so when you go to Disneyland, they have people working, you know, staff members. They also have crew members. These are the forward facing people like the tour guides on the Jungle Cruise or, you know, people manning, you know, dressed up as characters, things like that. Oh, okay. Cast members, as they like to say, so they don't have to pay them. It's true. But funny enough, I do believe they're part of the actors' union, too. They're actually considered acting. It's an acting job, I think. Oh, really? Okay. It's fascinating. That's a good move on their part, is to pull that in, right? So the whole cast member thing was kind of a dodge, I think, originally. And so now they're going, yeah, well, wait.If we're cast members, we're acting. Have you ever worked at Disney or no? No. Oh, my gosh, no. I have no patience for that kind of thing. I wear my heart on my sleeve and my contempt on my face, so it's kind of like I can't do that. It's very difficult for me to be in a customer-facing position. You're so polite. You've been so polite to me tonight. And here you're saying, oh, no, I can't do that. It's a lot of work, Bob. So you've got like five minutes of pleasantries and then after that it's all venom or what? Well, I don't know what to say. I really don't. I'm not much of a conversationalist. That's why I'm in stand-up and not improv. Oh, my goodness. It's working right now, John. Well, cheers. Thank you. Now, since you're a Filipino-Chinese, is John your first name or is this an Americanized name for you?Well, here's the thing you got to know really quickly about the Philippines. We are an English-speaking country. English is one of the languages that we speak, so we do have a lot of crossover. John is actually my given birth name. So, yeah. I do have a Chinese name, but I don't use it too much, mainly because I can barely speak Chinese. It's like at a four-year-old level, if I'm lucky. It's terrible. What level of Chinese do you speak, John? Oh, four-year-old. I don't know. I really don't know. My wife describes it as, my wife says I understand half of the conversation. Unfortunately, I understand the useless half. I only know the words and, the, and. Right. I can count to a decent extent. I know important phrases, some words, because I did go to school where they taught Chinese, butPart of the difficulty is that I didn't get a lot of practice. I moved to the States when I was a teen, and where I moved to, there weren't a lot of Chinese speakers, so it kind of fell by the wayside, and I wasn't that good to begin with. So where did you grow up in your teens? Can you tell me an area? Southern California, through and through. Okay, so dude, whoa, hey. Pretty much, pretty much. There's no Chinese words for that. No, if there are, I don't know them. So would you in the Southern California culture, would you what would you describe yourself as? So like, you know, there's skater, surfer, you know, beach. I think the closest thing I don't know if they still have them. But, you know, when I was younger, I was definitely more in the nerd slash preppy kind of thing. Oh, OK. Yeah.And I was a kid. I had my fun, but I wasn't much into skating, wasn't much into sports. I was a bit of a nerd. I was into comic books, toys, that kind of thing. And I'm not – the why doesn't apply anymore, but I would certainly be – could have been classified as a yuppie back in the day. I think you and I are of the same generation that you know what a yuppie is. Oh, yeah. And for the younger folks, a yuppie – Young Urban Professional. Oh, I thought you were going to say it was a wet puppy. No, no, no, no, no. No, I know. Young Urban Professional. Exactly. You drove your Beamer. And your girlfriend was named Buffy. No, I don't have money. That's why I'm here. No offense. But otherwise, I would have bought myself a comedy club and called it a day. Oh, well, that's interesting.Why are you waiting? What is stopping you from realizing this dream? My bank account. Well, no. Banks will give anybody money. You could go get a loan. They want me to pay it back eventually. That's the part you've got to figure out. Respect anyone that runs a comedy venue. It's not easy. It isn't. Well, you just sell drugs in the back and you're all set. Everything works out. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, no, it's not for me. Plus, it's a lot of logistics that I don't really want to deal with. I want to be free. I want to be happy. You know what? You can have the John Liu comedy car. It's like Uber, except you get comedy on the way to your destination. Actually, a friend of mine had this idea recently.of taking, like, you know, one of those creepy, gigantic vans, you know, and just opening up the door and having, like, a pop-up comedy show, have the speakers and the mic in there, and just drive wherever, park somewhere, and set up a comedy show that way. Yeah. I mean, they did the cash cab on television for I don't know how long. You could do the comedy cab. Talk about a captive audience. Just lock the doors, have the choppers. That's right. And then if they want to get out, they got to pay you. Yeah. Oh, my God. We could be like those crazy people that preach on planes. Have you been seeing that on the news? No. We could do that. We could just put on a comedy show. They preach on a plane? Is that allowed? No. It's absolutely not. Explain this to me. Do they just, like, bother the person next to them, or do they stand up and tell the whole plane? No, they stand up and tell the whole plane. Oh, my word.one lady, she got put on the no-fly list forever because she was pretty much preaching the entire time. She would get up, preach to the plane, and just she just refused to sit down. You know, all that stuff. And there are a couple people doing that so i'll be honest with you. I would rather have it happen in a plane than anywhere else because, I mean, you never know. That's fair. You look like a 50 50 that you may need that at that moment. That's true. That's true. You know, but it, yeah, it's all about that captive audience, getting that group of people together. And I like to perform, I'll be honest. I like to perform, you know, I, it's the advertising, the marketing that doesn't appeal to me, you know? Oh no. Well, I think this, I think this, you know, comedy Uber thing is the way to go. Cause then, I mean, you like to go places, right?Absolutely. Travel is one of the perks. I've gotten to go to so many places and see so many things that I wouldn't have if I wasn't in comedy. It gives me that incentive to travel. Tell me some of the places you've gone. Have you gone to Macau? I have not. I've only recently started traveling for comedy. Let's see. I've performed in the Philippines. I've been to open mics in Taiwan. Wow. in terms of shows, proper shows, I've done shows in washington dc maryland uh arizona nevada yeah washington you know, and of course, California, Minnesota, just traveling all over and i'm trying to do more. I love how do you, in Taiwa

We don’t know. We know he’s alive last week. We know it. We’ll just have to wait another week to see if he’s still alive. Wait a minute. There was no ad for Bugles this week in the weekly shopper? Okay. Okay. Are you still there, Miles? Did I lose you on this one? Hello? Yeah. Okay. There you are. You dropped out. I thought so. No, you froze up like you got your image just froze up. Like your eyes were like half open. Like, oh, dude, there’s a cartoon cat. So this week was not the best week. It’s not the best week. The weekly shopper did not have bugles on sale last week. So on Friday, I went to lunch with my good friends, Dr. J and Dr. K. Yes. And so they actually met me at my office because I’m having to go to my office here lately because of some rule changes that And so they came by the office and we decided to go get some lunch. Yeah. And unfortunately near the office, there’s not a lot of good lunch places. So I’m like, let’s go to this Mexican place, which I’m surprised you can still say that, to be honest with you, like Chinese place, Mexican place. It’s all okay. Right. Yeah. I mean, I think that’s all right. I mean, I, I’m like, we got to go down to this one, you know? And so it’s, it’s a, it’s a, few minutes away. Taco Bell. Yeah. It’s called the Taco Ballet. Exclusive. It’s a local thing, but so we’re driving and we drove by like three other Mexican places and they’re like, well, why don’t you go to this one? I’m like, I’ve never been there. I’m not going there. El Bandejos. Yeah. And so I forced them to go to this Mexican place that I’ve been to before. This is always good. They have a lunch special. So, you know, it’s not overly expensive. Kutas are us. So we make it there. Everything’s fantastic. You know, I get the lunch special. They get a lunch special. Everybody gets a lunch special. We have a great lunch. We’re chitting and chatting and skitting and scatting and everything. And then… Bella Fitzgerald shows up. Do, do, do, do. And then Dr. K is like, well, I got to get back. I need to get going. I’m like, oh, man. So he drove us all. He took on the mantle of driver. Yeah. And we all pile into Dr. K’s car. Yeah. And we’re going to head back to my office. And then everybody will go about their business. Right. Yeah. So we’re on our way back and, and talking and we, there’s a, I don’t know, like a traffic jam is on side streets. We’re not on the highway or on the side street. Some kind of like traffic jam. Everything comes to a stop. Right. I’m talking and kablamo. You got rear ended hard. Didn’t you? Yeah. You’re hard. And I didn’t even realize it. I was like, what the hell? And sure enough, Dr. K got rear-ended. Oh! Were you in front? I was in the front seat because I’m… Dr. K is a very diminutive person. He’s a very… Yeah, he’s teeny tiny. He’s tiny. And so I sat up front with Dr. K. We get blasted in the back, you know? Yeah. And you get ass blasted. Did you? Yeah, it was rough. I was like, it wasn’t gentle. It was rough. It was not gentle at all. I mean, we got kablowy and I, the rear ending to the gas station. And, and luckily the person that hit him pulled in as well. And we had to go through the whole process of, yeah, of an accident thing. So the funny thing is we pull in and I’m like, So Dr. K gets out. I get right out because, you know, I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m like, I’m ready to back him up, right? Yeah, right. Okay. Well, I’m fairly tall and quite broad. And so I figured he’s not. Yeah. And so I got out. Well, Dr. J did not get out. Yeah. Oh, Jesus. Are you all right? Yeah, he was all right. But I’m like, he was not looking for a fight. I was like, this guy is going to try to blame my friend. I’m going to be there to help out. It’s like Billy Barty and Junior Samples wanting to have a freaking fight with somebody. Well, what would Dr. K be then? You know him because you had lunch with him. Yeah. What’s his character if I’m Junior and… i don’t know. I think about that you can’t think of one okay i don’t want to make this weird yeah i don’t want to make this weird i pop out of the car. K top pops out of the car. He goes, and it’s this duck dynasty looking guy with a big beard and he’s driving a pickup truck, you know? And so they start talking and, And, um, I’m like walking, but it all seems to be going well. Right. I’m pacing and, um, with your other hand, you’re like, yeah, he takes the blame. So then I walk around in the back of Dr. K’s car and I’m like, there’s liquid dribbling out of the back of his car. Oh yeah. That’s my thought. I was like, Holy mother of God, is this gasoline? Oh, f**k. Got a body back there. F**k. F**k. And so I’m like, I look at it for a while and it’s coming out like, you know, it’s coming out like, you know, a Miles title piss. So it’s like in spurts. It’s not like a, you know, it’s not even funny, man. Even say something. It’s like dribble, dribble, dribble. Anyway. So I’m like, I hope this isn’t gas. Cause then I’m stuck. We’re not anywhere miles from anywhere. Then you did a crutch down, put your fingers in it and smell it. I did. So then I stuck my hand, I stuck my finger in there and then I sniffed it, but I have a really bad nose, you know? And so it didn’t smell like anything. And so then Dr. K comes walking around. I go, someone’s coming out of your car and he sniffed my finger and no, not gas. So then Dr. J finally sees that everything’s okay and, Yeah. Yeah. And he wanders out of the car. Like he just woke up or something. Hey, and i think i hurt my back real bad. Yeah. And then he comes around looks at so we’re trying to figure out what the hell. And then we’re like, you got a case of water back here, but it just kept coming it just yeah it just kept going right yeah a little weird. Yeah, it was really weird. We’re like, you don’t have a back windshield wiper washer thing, no? I mean, it dribbled the whole time we were waiting for the police. It dribbled, and it dribbled, but it wasn’t brake fluid. We kept going through all the fluids, right? Yeah. And then Dr. J crawls under the car. He’s so little, he can walk under it. He just did little. I know. and he’s like, no, he’s like, it coming from the trunk. It’s coming from up there. It’s not coming from the gas tank or any like break lines or anything. So we wait, the police show up and, you know, we got two police people to show up. So we were at a nice part of town. And that even showed up. Yeah. You know, yeah. It showed up as a nice part of town. Yeah. And, uh, so they, you know, we all have to, well, those guys have to give statements. They, you know, give me the crook guy. Are you here? Who are you with? You know? Yeah. Question. And, uh, we had to give over stuff and then it’s, um, time to leave. And so we all pile back in the car. I go, well, I guess it’s not gas. I guess we’re not going to worry about it. And so then we head on back to the office. And on the way, Dr. J i

My guest tonight is Jeff Ponder. Jeff, how are you doing? I always want to say Pounder. It's Ponder, right? Back in my day, somebody used to call me Quarter Pounder. I always wanted to thought of that. Well, and it's funny because they were like, oh, being funny because you're a fat little kid, you know, and it's like, Yeah, but you're saying I'm a quarter of a pound, so really it's not an insult. Well, he was one of those people that whenever they made the third pounder, he's like, I'm not buying that. That's less of a value than the quarter pounder. That's right. He's one of those people. Not doing that. So it's always been – I'm going to read the intro here, Jeff. It's always been Jeff's dream to join the mainstream media in some way in his journey to reach the pinnacle –He discovered podcasting in 2011, starting in St. Louis Blues Hockey Podcast. That's still going today. Let's Go Blues Radio has become a staple in secondary media coverage in the St. Louis hockey community. And tonight, he's entering into the world of comedy. Or maybe he's already been there, and he's just doing it here tonight as well. I don't know. We'll find out a little bit more. But Jeff, the stage is yours. Yes, thank you, and uh it's great to be here this is uh this is the pinnacle uh this is actually something i've been wanting to do, is join lament tonight so i'm gonna lament a little bit uh it is weird doing this remotely, a little bit of stand up here um it's not something you would think that would have happened, you know, what, 20, even 15 years ago?But, you know, there's a lot of weird things that really aren't the norm anymore. Someplace I work right now, dogs in the office. Can you imagine that years ago? You know, back, Bob, maybe in 99, 2000 even. Hey, boss, I just rode in on my Buick Skylark. And as I passed the haberdashery, I thought maybe it'd be fun to bring Fido into the office today. What is that boss going to say? You get your ass to your typewriter, and you give me a good 15 hours without breaks, I'll consider letting you leave in time for the Brooklyn Dodgers game. Maybe that was all a little bit too much, but you know what I mean. Is it weird, though, that I would rather be in an office of dogs than an office of people? You know, it's weird because, you know…The dogs, you know, they're very loud. They can be jumpy. You know, coworkers, they may not pee on the floor. Hopefully they're not. But they sure find other ways to annoy me. Like, hey, Jeff, you see that episode of This Is Us last night? You know, I want to watch This Is Us. Do I look like a This Is Us guy? No. You know, no, I didn't watch the curling match from three years ago that was on ESPN Classic last night. No, dogs aren't going to ask me that. They're lovable. They just want to jump on me and have some fun. I do get distracted very easily, though, with these dogs. It takes me about 45 minutes to get to my desk every morning. So I'll get there about, you know, 8 o'clock. I don't get to my desk until almost 9 o'clock. And it's a little crazy because it's like, you know, Jeff, get to work, get to work. But I just want to pet all the dogs. But I will say I make up for it.when there's kids in the office. Then it's a race to my desk. Then it's, oh, I don't want to be bothered by all these weird questions about, hey, you want to see my coloring book? No, kid, I don't. I want to pet the dog and get to my desk. But what does it say about me that I prefer dogs over kids in the office, though? You know, you keep hearing like, mom, my iPad died. Dad, I'm bored. At least dogs just bark. I pat them on the head, give them a treat, and they're quiet until the UPS guy shows up. And, you know, these kids, they're just always needing something, like they're humans or something. Thank you, everyone. I'm Jeff Ponder. You were great. Bob, back to you. Yeah, fantastic. Here, let me give you a little round of applause here. Oh, that's so good.We have all these neat gadgets here on the plausible platform. If you go down, you can always clap. You can, uh, you can cry. Oh, those dogs. Oh, I can feel the heart, everything. Anyway, Jeff, thanks for doing that. It was very fun. So you really work with dogs? Yes. Yes. Dogs are in the office every single day. Um, it's, it's great. Um, you know, I make a lot of jokes about working with the people I work with, but they're all good people too. And, um, they are very welcoming to you, uh, bothering them and coming up and petting their dogs. And, and I'll say, that's another thing that I do, Bob is I, uh, I forget my coworkers names, but I don't forget their dogs names. That's interesting. Well, they also have a hanging from their neck. So,That's true. That helps. That does help. If the coworkers were to do that, you'd probably be able to remember. Oh, hey, Bill. It's funny because they all have it on their desk. So you walk by and you're like, oh, hey, Jeff. Oh, hey, Marcy. And you're like, I'm not Marcy. I'm Daphne. I'm just sitting at Marcy's desk. Well, get your ass out of Marcy's seat. She's going to be pissed. So do people like get to walk the dogs then? Like, I mean, the dog has got to, you know, I mean, they sleep a lot, granted. But every once in a while, they got to get up and go outside and whatnot. Or do you have an inside bathroom for the dogs? There is not an inside bathroom. That would be a very nice addition to the office. But no, people do have to get up and walk their dogs. And it is funny because there's times, you know, when…I'll be in a meeting, and it'll be like, oh, hey, I got to bounce for five minutes. I got to take the dog for a walk. And I'm like, this is a place. I mean, it's funny because you're like, this is a place of business, but you're also like, yes, go take care of that dog. That is more important than anything we're doing right now. That's right. We're going over this budget, but no, take that dog out. No, I'm just joking. Please take the dog out. Please take the dog out. That's fun, though. It is. There was a recent discussion where I work about having a cat there besides myself. Of course. And yeah, so I was like, well, I'm up for it, right? I know I like dogs as well, but this was the discussion. My worry was because dogs tend to stick to their owners for the most part, right? And so they don't wander off, especially if they're fairly…you know, I want to say good dog, but you know what I mean? A fairly loyal dog. They don't run around and take off. The cat will just be right out the door. Yep. And so then it's just going to be, I was just imagining it's going to be a series of incredible joy when the cat arrives and heartbreak when it runs out the door and we never see it again. Yep. And I'll say that is there is one person who was bringing a cat into the office. And it was a little bit of a because like she would get there before all the dogs. She'd get there as early as she could. And the cat would usually just hide in the corner. No problem. But every now and then she'd come back to her desk from the bathroom or whatever. And the cat's gone. And so you're like, OK, either this cat is going to get eaten by a dog or ran out.front door or it's hiding somewhere under a desk and like half the day you're thinking oh my gosh i may never see my cat again but yeah she always found a way to get the cat back at the end of the day and she'd go home with the cat well that's good yeah i would worry about it we've had the cats and dogs here and i only worry about the cats until they get when they're kittens Once they grow, you know, develop into like a regular old cat, then they take care of the dogs. Even though they're so much smaller, typically, there's never been an issue with the cat. Dog getting too rough with the cat. Always the cat gets too rough with the dog. Well, the cat is so quick to just swap.you know, and dogs, it, it, it totally throws dogs off. Cause it takes them a minute. You know, they, they sit back, they growl, they put their hind legs up and they're like, I'm going to attack in the next four minutes, you know, and the cats are like, come here.

I'm not revealing. My friend Steve told it to me. Steve? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Well, I don't have anything as good as that, but… Yeah. I do have a slightly…humorous story for you. We can only hope. It's not about any seals or anything, just to be honest with you. No wildlife whatsoever. I know Miles is going to find this odd, but I do occasionally go out to lunch with people. I don't find that odd. You always say that I'm very antisocial. you allow like maybe 10 people into your life and i'm one of them. Yeah. And, uh, which i don't know if that's good or bad but you're on a watch list now. Yeah. Um, so, uh, we were going uh into the city to have some lunch with some other people a small group of people And I have a friend who's… She's retired. She's a bit older than I am. And we worked together probably for, I don't know, 15, 20 years or something. And anyway, so she's like… She got a new car. And she goes, I'm going to drive us to lunch. Normally, I drive, right? Yeah. Because…She doesn't really like to drive that much. But she got this new Lexus. A Chevy Volt. No, a fancy Lexus car, right? Ooh. Yeah, very, very nice, right? Yeah. So, you know, she comes, gets me, and we're going to head into the city. And there's a lot of construction this time of year. I don't know. I think I asked this question a couple weeks ago. Nobody ever gave me a good answer. But why… There's always construction in the summertime when parts of the country really don't get that cold. Couldn't there be construction all year round? I mean, here, I mean, it doesn't get cold until, like, December. Anyway, why do they got to do it all in the summertime is what I'm saying. Doesn't some things have to set, though, when it gets warmer? Oh, Mr. Science, hey. No, it doesn't. Yeah, it doesn't. Yeah.I think it's warm enough for concrete to cure. Well, I don't… You've never worked construction like I did, so I don't really… What? This is news to me. You work construction? You're talking out of your ass. You're talking out of your ass. You know what? Put a quarter in your ass because you just played yourself, okay? All right? I worked construction one summer, okay? So screw you. What were you, like, the sign holder? Stop. No, I… helped with a giant erection. I put it up and uh okay i don't really want to talk about it anymore. So you, when you mean construction, you mean the gay porn industry? Yeah. Yeah. I was a pluffer for many years. Okay. yeah I put up a metal building down in Beaumont. Oh, okay. Like one of those, uh, pole barns or something. Yeah. It was an addition to like an auto shop or something.Oh, wow. Interesting. I did not know this. It's brand new information to me. It was the summer of 1985. And they said, these metal buildings, you can't put them up if it's below 50 degrees. And it ain't Texas, it ain't. Oh, my God. Anyway, we're going into the city. There's a bunch of bridge work going on. Literally, in this country, all of our bridges are falling. And so now they're like, hey, before… Another 100 people die in a bridge accident. Let's replace bridges. I think that's what happened. Anyway, so we're going into the city and we got to go across the bridge and it's down to one lane or actually it was two lanes, but there usually is like three lanes and they're like really tiny lanes, like barely one car fits in a lane kind of thing. And you're like weaving, you know what I mean? It's not a straight line. It's like, okay, you're going to be on these two lanes and you're going to go on those two lanes.and she's like super nervous. Driving a brand new car across the bridge of these tiny lanes. And then she, she has for her uh if she gets a text. It plays, uh, a trumpet sound. It's the beginning of girls on film it's like announcing like somebody's coming into a a ball or something. And so we're driving across the bridge. She keeps getting texts and she keeps jumping oh god visibly visibly jumping in her seat while these, and i'm like, I'm like, she has a daughter. I go, is that your daughter? She's like, No, no. And I go, what? She goes, all my texts make that sound. Oh, God. How annoying. Jesus. It keeps going off, and she keeps twitching. And I swear to God, we were going to just, like, in these little lanes, we were going to go over and, like, hit another car or clip something because she kept weaving every time. And she'd be, like, jumping. Oh, my gosh. Was she trying to read them as well? No, no, she wasn't.scared the shit out of her every time the phone went off. So then you secretly tried to text her like… Yeah, no. I thought about it, but she was so nervous. And then we get to lunch and we come back. All the way back, same thing. Every time she gets a text. And I'm like, I could have drove. Marge, I should have drove. Yeah, and she's like, oh no. I thought… I didn't want you drove last time. Like, don't worry about, Oh my God. She was just cracking me up. I thought we were going to swerve into oncoming traffic or something because of the stupid text. So what was it? I don't know. She just kept getting them. She's on all these, she's an old woman on all these threads with people, you know, pre yarn, you know,updating her OnlyFans or something. That's right. She's getting requests. She's like, Miles Tyler, he's wanting me to send foot pictures. I will see you naked in that Lexus right now. Right now. Up on the hood. So, but I was just like, it was scary at first, and then once we got back, it was kind of funny, you know? I want you to dance around like Taunted Catane in that one song. You can do it. here i go yeah here's another text so but anyway, it was just so weird and i couldn't believe that uh here we go again like why don't you just change the thing i can't yeah because my grandson set this up for me and i don't know how to change it.change. It'll be so heartbroken. He died of lupus. Oh my god. But I just was like, Oh my gosh, we're gonna wreck on the bridge and uh yeah but anyway we made it okay. But oh, yeah, this poor woman was frazzled by the time we got back for lunch the magic school bus. although the funny thing was she's a very proper uh lady but at lunch she told this filthy joke. Oh, okay. All right. I like a filthy joke. Yeah. Which was a little bit out of character. So, and the terrible thing was i was the only, I was the only guy at lunch. Wait a minute. She didn't say, Hey, do you want to see my mouse tattoo? Do you? No, no. She didn't say that. because that's like the filthiest joke i've ever heard a woman pal Well,No, I've never heard that one. Do you want to tell it? A woman says to you, do you want to see my mouse tattoo? And you're like, sure. And she starts unbuttoning her pants and looks down and says, oop, my p***y must have ate it. Who told you that joke? Some unknown woman at my nephew's wedding a long time ago. Did she actually unbutton her pants? She started to. I'm like, what the… I had no idea who this woman was. She had crashed the party. I was outside with all the smokers, and she's like, wants to know my name and where I'm staying. And she says, I did not know this was a joke coming. I'm like, oh, okay. Well, didn't she tell you she won a contest putting quarters up her hoo-ha, did she? No, we didn't get that far into it because I saw…My brother-in-law was eavesdropping, so I had to kind of cut it off. Like, you know, I got to go. I don't know. Well, you know, I a

The Intriguing Chad from titfos.com Bob and Chad discuss Chad’s book and longstanding website, The Incredibly True Facts of Space, an eccentric collection of short stories, surreal lists, and abstract poetry. After reading snippets featuring alien trivia and a "Dracula telethon," the pair embark on a broad, nostalgic discussion spanning early retail jobs, retro adding machines, vintage calculators, classic Canadian children's television, and the short-lived Sid and Marty Krofft theme park. As the chat wanders into early tech culture, road trip memories, and AI hallucinations, Bob pitches an idea for a modern workplace comedy set in a dispensary, prompting shared stories about past office politics, manipulating budgets for massive CRT monitors, and eccentric former bosses before wrapping up the interview. titfos.com https://youtube.com/live/2WJbLvcUkGw Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody. Welcome. I've got Chad from TitBose. Thank you. TitBose.com. The incredibly true facts. Oh, I said incredibly, didn't I? the world. acts of space, but they meant it literally. True Facts of Space 2029 because people are taking this public domain packaging it. every variant you can imagine. here's one here. Let me, uh, let me share this. This is, uh, the incredible facts about space. There we go, man. And then it's not the true ones though. It's only the incredible ones. Here's amazing ones, right? These people And then this is interesting facts. So they're not even incredible. Yeah. And then you got the fun facts. True. There is something almost… I wouldn't say that that's not already the case. that is historically proven to be true, too, over and over again yeah I think I think it's true it's hyper true I think if you got 80 then you're doing pretty good yeah I think we're lucky to get over 50 like 55 is uh is probably the positive, don't you think?see how you could talk yourself into several different positions depending on some bigger picture belief systems you had pinned down already so Thank you. Exactly. That's right. there you go now now you actually have written a book called the incredible true facts of space as well. So you have the website you had the website for years, though. The website has been around for there you go. For over 20 years. But the book You're kind of doing it all backwards here. Usually the book comes out. It isn't available. Okay. Well, there you go. that's interesting yeah I guess well you get certain ones with Amazon Prime anyway but I think there's other add-ons that you can do as well so Right, right. You know, a part of that. Audible. Yeah. I think they own Audible.gotcha oh there goes your lights everybody The plus is usually a $5. They should have called it Prime 5. Because it's all $5. I want to start that right now. Everybody's doing plus. We're going to do 5. What do you think? Titfos 5. It's a solid number. I've always was partial to it from the time I was a child because… And it's an odd number, which I enjoy odd numbers. It truly is. So that way, even numbers are kind of shady. It's true. Well, some people have six, but it's okay. there's, Right. Right, yeah. That's true. Interesting. Ha ha ha! Yeah, it doesn't have anything to do with that. Okay. I don't like this, so I'm going to make it fail. Okay. Sure, sure. You type words and whatnot, hold them upside down. Sure. Well, that's one level of fun.Deep thought here in the box. I love calculators. You think people really before the late 60s, early 70s didn't have access to calculators, and then cheap calculators came out in the late 70s, early 80s. Really? Right. Exactly. No, it was. I had, as a kid, we had an adding machine, which was this huge mechanical monster with all the buttons. It didn't have, you know, now you just have 10 buttons. It had 100 buttons, right? So you'd have 10 digits with all 10 digits. Oh, you want to amortize the number? Yeah. Do you want the French method? Yeah. And then you had this big handle, almost like a one-armed bandit that you then had to pull down, and it shot up these metal typeset things that had the numbers on them, and then they would smack against the paper. Oh, wow. It was a monster. Not only the calculation, but then your numbers.Yeah, well, it went onto the paper, and you go, ka-chunk! And it was the funnest thing to play with. It was outdated technology. This is probably from the 20s or something. I don't know. You talk about playing with calculators. That was more. And it was very industrial and heavy. I mean, you couldn't carry it around. There were a lot of mom-and-pop shops still using those. Yeah, and you go, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ka-chunk! Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ka-chunk! And then, you know… Oh, no. My mother did the books and she would sit down there and she would do this really quickly. I mean, she was, you know, she was adept because she'd been using that thing, obviously, for probably a couple of decades at that point. So it was it was fascinating where it worked.You muted yourself there. There you go. Mike. Bob? Yeah. Okay. You're there. We had a connection problem. You just muted yourself for a moment. That's all. Ah, rats. I was telling you, when I worked at a grocery store, you know, one of my first jobs, and the ladies that worked the cashiers, you know, they would still doing a lot of typing. They were scanning things, but they were still doing a lot of typing and everything was still cash. So it's kind of a different skill set. I've noticed going through that, uh, just the absence of, of effort that it used to require, you know, having, you know, having worked as a, as a kid, do you see my gosh, you know, we're lucky we still have, uh,so I always wait in line to go in the cashiers lines at Publix because I just, I like the fact that they still have cashiers on duty. Yeah. So, you know, miles, uh, my cohost for static radio, he's a, I always go into the, the people line rather than the computer line. Yeah. And then I always go into the self checkout. You do. Yeah. Oh yeah. Cause I don't, I don't want the, uh, interaction, uh, Or the scrutiny on what I'm buying is usually the thing. I like to talk about it. Yeah, I like that. But he's more social like you where he wants to interact with these folks and find something out, I guess. I don't know. I'd get to say, look, these incontinence pants really are for my dog. Yeah.That's right. You can tell they're not my size. It's obvious. Would you like to open them together? Well, so let's talk about the book a little bit here. What would you call it as, I mean, other than the facts about space, would you call it a compilation of short stories? Yeah, yeah, it is. It's a mix. It's It's a light read. I don't even know. It was like 160 pages on Kindle. Oh, man. I didn't spring for the page numbers. What the hell? I have 190 on my PDF that you sent me. This is a proof copy. Oh, okay. I see it's got the proof on there. Yeah, so it's not really for sale. I do like your artwork. I will say your artwork is very good. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah, I like it. It is an AI background with an AI chair and an AI TV and AI carpet.I'm going to take back my statement. No, I'm just joking. No, I mean, I like, cause you use the incredibly incredible true facts of space part multiple times. Obviously you've added something to the book, but yeah, I've seen that other part many, many times. Let's see. So it started in a Walmart in a inner hell little box where I was supposed to be selling cell phones and was pretty much the directed not to worry about it so uh you know, I, I was like, okay. And Darren didn't like me being in the office because I, you know hung inappropriate posters in the, in the bathroom once. Um, I was still just young enough to be a little bit nuts, you know, like when i worked at Blockbuster, uh, no, sorry, alfalfas. This is before blockbuster bought us. We were kind of the cool record store. And, uh,so alpha like the our gang person. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Books and video. It was interesting. Local mobile kind of, I think it grew up to like three locations. So it's, uh, anyway, it was, um, what were we talking about there? You're working and selling cell phones that you weren't supposed to sell. Yeah. I think i was still just young enough. to be a little nuts. Back earlier when I worked at Alfalfa, this was music. Oh man, I don't know. 24, 25, 24 maybe. So anyway, I had a special sale that we would refill your Zippo if you rented three movies. After we'd become a blockbuster, that wasn't It wasn't part of the plan anymore. It was no longer a, no longer a bonus that we could offer to the customers. You guys had like all of this lighter fluid under the counter. No. In fact, I came up with it because we always had lighter fluid and,on hand and for taking labels. Oh, for removing the label. I got you. That was before the gunk gunk off or whatever it's called. Yeah. And when we were still talking about physical objects, you know, like each one had to be had to be made and had to look right. Yeah. So it's amazing to think how much time we used to spend sorting those tapes, making sure they were rewound and mainly not because you were like, you know, paranoid, angry video guy that wanted them rewound. But it's just the complaint you would get. And, and the, the lack of showmanship you would serve by giving somebody a video, they get home, their popcorn, their kids are on the couch, they plug it in and they got to rewind the whole thing. You know, I mean, classically that was considered, you know, really bad form, right. For, for being cool to your customers. So it's,And Alfalfa's was kind of much more of a hip store. So it really would have made a great movie, now that you think about it. Is this the place that says Alfalfa on the window there? Does that look like it, or is that something different? Oh, sorry. No, I can't really see it. I guess the screen's way too small. No problem....

They keep pushing you in, and you wake up when you get wet, so it's a tough life. Yeah. Help him, please. Put some water on him. Leave his blowhole alone. Right. Is that a tidalist? Yeah. Aren't blowholes a weird thing? It sounds like a Seinfeld bit. You ever think about a blowhole? What's the deal? What's the deal? What's the deal? But yeah, I mean, how'd that work? You know what I mean? Because they still have a mouth. I guess they blowhole the nose that just moved over to the top of their head. Yeah, I guess. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not into that.This evolution is just wild to think about, don't you? I mean, there's a lot of things that have a blowhole. Mm-hmm. You know? Yeah, I guess. I guess. Yeah. I mean, how does that happen? Does it slowly move up and then at one point it was like right between their eyes and it's like… This isn't working so good. We need to make it a little higher on the face there. I hadn't really thought about it, but I'll consult a cartographer. Because most of the animals with the blowhole are mammals. In fact, I think all of them are mammals. You're getting outside of Uncle Miles' range of expertise there, so I'm going to go with you on this. My comfort zone. I didn't really do good in the sciences in school, I'll be honest with you. You know, we went to college with the guy who helped bring the snorks to animation, you know, to the snork show, to television. Really? Well, we didn't go there the same time he was there, butWe went there shortly after he was there, I think. And the Snorks is kind of like the whole blowhole on top of the head. Do you remember this cartoon, the Snorks? No, I have no idea what the Snorks are. They look like Smurfs, but instead of Smurfs, they live underwater and they have like a snorkel on their head. If you will, yes. It's kind of bad, you know. They're called Snorks. Anyway. You know, maybe. I don't know. It's been a bad day. I'll tell you that. I've been concussed three times in my life, so I'm going to go yes on this. I don't know. Now, each time it happened, was it different or was it the same? Well, yeah. I mean, it was like trauma. Yes. I mean, the effects of it, right? You get hit in the head really hard. Yeah.No, I've been knocked out. I'm saying I have been knocked out in accidents probably three times at least. Three times? You got knocked completely out cold? Yeah. Really? Yeah. That can't be good. You tell me. I don't know. Thank God you don't have a blowhole because it would have gotten right in the blowhole. It would have saved me a lot of time. Blowhole. I have only, that I'm aware of, had one concussion. Yeah. And it was on those goddamn scooters that they had in school. Oh, God. Basically, somebody had the right idea to take furniture movers, shrink them a little bit, and give them to children to get pushed around on at high speeds. Yeah. Yeah. And I was laying on it. I got pushed right into somebody's kneecap and I just about, I didn't, I didn't pass out, but I saw stars. Yeah. And they just, they sent me home. Uh, the only time I've ever been punched in the face was, uh, playing scooter basketball.On purpose? Punched in the face? No, no, he meant to do it. I just didn't know it was coming. It wasn't like a kid that you would expect to like, hey, by the way, kaboom, you know. Never saw it coming. Had no idea that he was that upset about it. Well, were you grabbing his ass or something? He accused me of cheating, apparently. You can't cheat in school basketball. i was so horrible at sports, I don't know how i could cheat. You know, but i don't know i don't know either i don't know did you possibly have a blow hole that you were breathing out of uh maybe he was jealous. I don't know. Which would you rather have, a blow hole or gills? I'd rather have gills and a punch in the face. I don't know. Just curious. Yeah. Yeah.That's weird. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, I saw stars. This was in high school. They sent me home. I somehow got a ride home. I think my friend Mark took me home. I promptly go home. I go to sleep. Oh, you're not supposed to do that. Yeah, which is the number one thing that you're not supposed to do when you have a concussion. Right. Right. then my mom comes home, and she's like, she wakes me up, and she's like, what are you doing here? Right, right. I'm like, oh, I hit my head. Really hard. You'll get back to school. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that whole interchange, and she's like, really? I'm like, yeah. And she's like your brother. Yeah, and yeah, so then, yeah, I thinkYou know, it's probably good that, you know, nowadays they have a little more education on these kind of things because, yeah. This guy's got CTE now. Yeah. It could have gone either way, you know. I was like Schrodinger's cat while I was sleeping. It could have gone either way. Yeah, no one knew. Yeah, it could have been. Then my mom woke me up, and luckily it went one way. Yeah. Yeah. So whenever you got knocked out completely, how did you wake up? I'm in the hospital. All three times? Yeah. Really? Yeah. 101 was a car accident. One was a bicycle accident. Okay. No. And the third one? I don't remember. I think you're lying. I mean, it was two times. I mean, it was two times. Okay. Now the truth comes out. Third time. I was found face down by my bicycle. It was in Studio 54, and when the bubbles all popped, there I was.No. Naked as a jaybird laying on the floor. No. I was very sore all over. No, that did not happen. So you were found next to your bicycle. Thank goodness you weren't in the middle of the road, I guess. In the middle of the road. Chrissy Hines was there. It was a good time. Get in the road. You were the inspiration for that scene. Wait, stop the Cadillac, quick. Wait a minute. Look at that little kid laying by his bike in the middle of the road. I'll come out now. Should we help him, Chrissy? I actually have a new story right here. I will send it to you. I actually… Yes. I think you're gone. We'll see if he comes back here. He's now reading the news story to himself. Hello. Yeah, there you are. Yeah, okay. So you actually had the news story right there, huh? Yeah, no, I had made a photo album. Were you looking at your photo album while we were talking earlier? No. Now you are? No, I'm talking to you.I don't know what he's doing. Half the time he's going to the bathroom, everybody. I have some issues, all right? So, you know. I'm trying. I had a story for tonight, and I can't. Oh, I have a story for tonight. Here we go. Oh, my God. I thought that was the f*****g story, the blowhole. I just wonder about things. Oh, my God. I'm like, this is the shittiest story in the world. Recently. Recently, this is a couple of weeks ago. So I noticed one day I was getting into my car and this wasp was trying to attack me. Yeah. I swatted it away, you know, and then I went into work and I'm getting out of the car and this wasp is attacking me. Again. A different wasp, I'm assuming. I mean, a whole different, you know,part of the country there at that point a different genus yeah i'm way far away from home. So I'm like, God, this, and then it happened more than once. I go places and this wasp was attacking me the whole day? No, no. It wasn't just randomly. I would, as i was going places in my car, I would get out of the car. There'd be a wasp right there. And I'm like, this is weird. Yeah. Right. It's like they have like, you know, they all got Motorola's and they're, you know, APB, problem and attack him. This is the worst Twilight Zone episode I've ever heard in my life, by the way. My glasses. I could read all these books, but I didn't. I have all my time in the world. So I'm like, this is weird, right? Because I was like me in every, you know, I just.I'm in different parts of the city, and there's wasps. And I'm like, I guess the wasps are really thick this year. Was it your honey cologne? That's right. I walk around drizzled in honey most days. That's so gross. I didn't want to do that. I drizzle a little bit on my neckline. I drizzle a little.
