Guests: Spencer Clawson, Dr. Marla Murphy, Rich Rockwell

Stop, start, stream, is that right? Hold on, I've got static, hold on. Okay. All right, good morning to you. Welcome to Patrick and the People. We are live and a whole new group of folks in the studio with us today. Glad that you are here. To my right, Mr. Rich Rockwell. You met Rich on Tuesday, you know, wrestling fame and whatnot.

The Bruce Buffer of Little Rock, if you will. the Bruce Buffer of Little Rock, if you will. To my right of my right is Dr. Marla Murphy, the owner of Exceptional PT Physical Therapy in Benton. And she is my physical therapist and has been a friend for, goodness, I don't know, 15, 18 years maybe. It's been a long time, hasn't it? Yep, been on forever.

Yeah, it has been forever. And then to my left here, you probably don't even need to be introduced to him. He's pretty famous, Spencer Claussen from Big Brother fame. Hey, glad to have the time to sit here with you, Patrick. We've been talking about this for months. I know we have, man. I called you several months ago and said, hey, man, you're not going to believe what I'm going to do. And, you know, so we've been kind of scheming to get Spencer here in the studio. How you been doing?

Good, been doing great. What's been going on with you since I've seen you last? To see me last I think I told you that Marilyn and I have been doing a remodel in our house which has been not a disaster but the length of time has taken its toll on us. We've aged like four years this one year alone. No it's having a renovation going on while you're in the house is really a challenge to deal with. But, you know, the job at the city is great. I work with some wonderful people, and we're doing some good things.

So now you're kind of a wig up at the city of Conway, right? I don't know if you'd call me a wig. I'm the director of public works. That sounds important. I'm over code enforcement and physical plan. Code enforcement? Code enforcement. Now, what is that exactly?

What do you mean by that? Code enforcement, our primary function is to enforce the nuisance abatement code with the city of Conway. Yeah. That's anything from, it's mostly like safety and beautification aspects of the city. So, you know, you get your basics like tall grass. You get things like that. Stagnant water, tires, junk accumulation, things like that. Okay. So when they Saline County up their business, you got to do something about it.

That's right. We got to straighten them out. I understand. Don't you folks know what city this is? This is Conway. You got to do a little bit better. No, I get that. I get that.

Take that up the road. So you got a lot of folks that are out and about that are working in your department, I'm guessing. Yeah, I've got 12 people that work with me. a bunch of snitches that drive around looking for stuff no i'm kidding i'm kidding i'm sorry that's that's a terrible way to praise it uh dr marla so what's going on at exceptional pt these days what's happening over there we're getting busier just um fixing everybody i mean just how many years have you been in business? How many years is it now? 11. 11 years.

Oh, my God, it has? Yeah. Wow, that is crazy. I did not think we'd make it past the first year. No? No. No, really? I'm surprised.

85% of PT clinics fail the first year. Wow. Well, you know, what I've always enjoyed about Dr. Marlowe, the whole group there is very fun. They're very enjoyable. If you're going to have physical therapy, it may as well be fun. But what made me come back is that TENS machine, I think is what it's called. She hooks up the electricity to you. And, yeah, I don't know.

What does that do when you hook those up? It kind of cuts off the pathway between the, like the pain pathway between the brain and the pain. Okay. And it doesn't fix anything. It just feels good. No, it does feel very good. I'll tell you that. Yeah, a lot of people, as a matter of fact, my neighbor the other day said,

yeah, I got a home one. Yeah, I can get you one. Yeah, you get the home version? You can. And you can just zap yourself. Yep. It's really pretty amazing what it does do. No, it is very helpful. It feels good, yeah.

Yeah, so what's the next big wrestling event, Rich? What's going on over there, man? Oh, we got a couple of events coming up next week, next Saturday, actually, October 26th. We've got South Central Wrestling out in Mountain Pine and Gladiator Championship Wrestling up in Ozark. So no matter which side of the state you're on, there's some action going on. And then this Saturday, actually, in Hot Springs,

we have the Walk of Fame where they're going to honor some former pro wrestlers from the Arkansas area. Yeah. Yeah, I'm getting some static here, Gunner. Here, let me move this like that. Will that help? I don't know. I'm still hearing it, man.

I don't know where it's feeding back from. But now you're saying former pro wrestlers? Yes, yes, sir. And athletes like who? So we've got – here, let me just pull it up here, actually. Yeah, this is cool. I'm very interested in this. Yeah, this is going to be –

We've been watching some pro wrestling stuff, and I'm really getting into the lore. Absolutely. Absolutely, man. Yeah. So we've got beautiful Bruce Swayze. He's going to be inducted into the Arkansas Hall of Fame or Walker fame. He started in the factory of professional wrestlers in Ontario before moving to Arkansas. Okay.

Okay. He was part of a tag team called the Dynamic Duo with his wife, Bonnie Swayze. And they actually own Alliance Rubber now out in the spring. Really? Oh, wow. Okay, okay. You're going to have him. You're going to have the monster, Michael Todd.

Oh, I know him. The arm wrestling team? Yeah, the arm wrestling team. I know Michael. I know him. He's all right. Him and his wife, Rebecca, are nice people. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

And Big Bear, Sonny Liston. Oh, Sonny Liston, really liston really yeah oh wow that is big time gonna be a good time it's happening down at uh the vapors um lounge yeah the vapors lounge in hot springs okay and uh i got word that also uh wwe hall of famer hillbilly jim will be there yeah yeah it's gonna be awesome okay yeah we were talking the. These are my favorites as a kid. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be awesome. Right on. Okay. Yeah, we were talking the other day when I was a kid, my grandfather, he called it Rasslin.

Yeah, sure. That's what he called it. Rasslin. Yeah, it was Rasslin. Yes, sir. But it was the Mid-South. That's what it was. Yeah, that was one of the territories.

We had Hacksaw Jim Dugan, Junkyard Dog, all those guys. And then later Texas came in and the Von erics and the free birds and and all of those guys who were you know big time uh so we used to go you know practically once a month to barton coliseum and all the wrestlers i mean you know would be all the big stars would be there and of course barton coliseum isn't that big right so they'd walk right past you coming up and it was to as a kid that was the coolest thing ever now i guess my grandfather did not understand it it was more athletics than than not and he would yell at the tv like like it was you know the worst person in the world right

oh no he thought that skandar akbar Iron Sheik were the meanest people on the planet. You know, it's funny because there used to be a wrestler named Kamala, the Ugandan warrior. Yeah, yep. And, you know, black paint and paint on his belt, and he would go like that. That dude's from Chicago. He was a cab driver, man. What are you talking about, bro? He wasn't from Uganda. There's actually another guy in the independent scene that goes by Kamala Jr.

Really? Yeah. And then there's Kamala Harris. Yeah. Well, you know, don't you have to hit the button for that one? Oh, yeah. You're right. I can't say candidate names around here.

We don't do that. Did you watch the Iron Claw? I haven't finished it, but I started it. Okay. Did you like it? No, I hated it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like Zac Efron in it. I think he's good. I'm kind of a Zac Efron fan.

Yeah, I like him too. He's funny. Yeah, he's not a bad dude. He seems like a genuinely nice dude. But no, the movie, like the Von Erich story is so tragic. Oh, it is tragic. One whole sibling out of it here let's i think it is there we go i don't know how to get your no you're fine they're just yeah keeping

your beautiful yeah sure thanks yeah they even had to cut like one whole tragedy out of it leaving a complete a sibling completely out of the whole thing who david i think it's chris oh chris okay yeah their story was just the worst, man. Oh, it's so sad. But, I mean, it really was about steroids more than anything else. I mean, hell, everybody was juicing up and coking up and doing everything back then. I mean, it's the 80s, I guess. Yeah, no, I mean, that's what they were.

70s, 80s. That whole, if you ever watch, what's it called? Dark Side of the Ring. Yeah. Great documentary series. It's an anthology thing about just different wrestlers and just about how it's mostly drugs, alcohol, pills catches up with them. Yeah.

Yeah. They're lost in overtime. Constant touring and stuff. And beating your body up. Yeah, yeah. It's crazy. And pain management and all of those things, right? The Von Ericks are just basically the story of what generationally, what happens when

an entire generation does that? But if you don't know, if you don't know, and you might not, the Von Eriks were, I mean, they were the biggest thing on the planet for a minute. And Ric Flair, he was so good. There were several different wrestling divisions. You had the Mid-South, you had Texas, you had all these different ones. He was the only person who was going to all of them

as the villain. That's how he became so big because everywhere he went, it didn't matter what division it was, everybody knew Rick Flair, baby. The guy that plays Rick Flair in Iron Claw looks like Uncle Baby Billy from The Rites of Gemstones. The Rites of Gemstones. I think I could have played Ric Flair in Iron Claw looks like Uncle Baby Billy.

Oh, from The Righteous Gemstones? I think I could have played Ric Flair better. If you haven't seen The Righteous Gemstones, please don't run or don't walk, run to it. Because that show is great. I mean, everybody in it is so amazing. It's an A-list cast. Absolutely. It's called what?

The Righteous Gemstone. It's got Danny McBride, Adam Devine, Walton Goggins, John Goodman. John Goodman, yeah. But they play kind of a you know, like a Billy Graham type family.

Or a Joel Osteen type family. They're a televangelist family. But it's absolutely farcical. You know, or Joel Osteen type family. They're a televangelist family. But it's absolutely farcical. But it's so weird because the stories are so insane. It's so farcical. But the writing that Danny McBride does is so good,

you still somehow like the characters and are invested in them. Even though it's over the top. I mean, it's obviously insane. Right. Everything that happens in it. It gets more and more insane when you I mean, it's obviously insane. Everything that happens in it, it gets more and more insane when you think it can't get more insane. It does. Walton Goggins, I think, steals every scene that he's in. He's so good.

It's the sister. Oh, the sister. She has all the best lines. She's just the craziest stuff of anybody, doesn't she? Yeah, I agree with that. Alright, we've got to get to a little news here. Brought to you by the new herpes. If you have old herpes, new herpes. I'm going to push that button and push this button. You're so stressed. Not going to make you happy with my mouth? Yeah, I guess so. All

right, let's get to some birthdays here. Let's talk about who is, you know, getting a little older today. Who outran the Grim Reaper? So Mark Gattis from Doctor Who is 58. Let's see, Felicity Jones from Rogue One is 41. Chris Lowell from Private Practice is 40. Oh, Michael McKean, you know him from Better Call Saul or Laverne and Shirley is 77. George Wendt from Cheers, 76. Now in music, Eminem is 52. Slim Shady is 52, y'all. He's in his 50s. How about that? That'd make you feel a little older. Alan Jackson is 66, famous country singer.

older. Alan Jackson is 66, famous country singer. Wycliffe Jean is 55. Gunner's favorite band, Chris Kirkpatrick, NSYNC, 53. Ziggy Marley is 56. And golfer Ernie Ells is 55. Director Mike Judge, he created Beavis and Butthead, which is amazing, is 62. As a matter of fact, the last Beavis and Butthead movie was awesome, too. I like those guys. They make me laugh. They're stupid, but they make me laugh a lot. I think everybody knows a Beavis and Butthead. Oh, yeah.

You know what's funny is my wife's grandmother, who did not speak English at all, she was Costa Rican, and they came to visit here. And she didn't even know what they were saying, and she thought that show was hilarious. And she was a grown-ass woman sitting there watching a cartoon, thinking it was the funniest thing, didn't even know what they were saying. But I get it. I mean, they're just funny to look at, too.

What about George Wimps being 76? Whoever thought he would live to be? Man, are you kidding like john goodman you thought man these guys are so thick they're gonna exactly they're gonna chris farley any second i know i'm a huge fraser fan and oh yeah this is like a 25 year old episode but he they do a guest starring thing with george wint comes on as norm of course okay he's got like this leaky eye and like i mean it's not part of the show it's like it's was in rough shape. He was in bad shape. So, yeah, so 76, good for George.

He must have turned it around. Have you seen him lately? Because he's looking pretty rough. Is he? Oh, really? Geez, no. Did he Ozempic yet? I don't think so.

No, he hadn't Ozempic. John Goodman did. He did. Yeah, John Goodman did for sure. I know that. No one's looking rough. Yeah. Yeah.

No rougher than Cliff. Did I say that? That's probably wrong here.'s looking. Looking rough. Yeah. No rougher than Cliff. Did I say that? That's probably wrong here. Let me. Sorry to interrupt you here. They were saying on Facebook they can't hear Dr. Marlow over here. Oh, Dr. Marlow, make sure. I'm going as loud as I can.

Here. Let's push up her mic a little bit. Talk to him. Hi. There. I can hear me now. Now straighten it up just a little bit. There you go like that.

All right, let's go with this. The Pentagon is still investigating a drone incursion that happened over at Langley Air Force Base. A new report says the probe into a swarm of drones that breached the airspace around the Virginia base for more than two weeks in December. A Pentagon spokesperson said the drones didn't show hostile intent. Well, what kind of intent did they show? I mean, what are they, curious intent? I mean, they're doing something. They could have been shot down. Investigators still trying to determine if they were flown by civilians or a foreign government. If you've ever

tried to cancel a subscription, you know how difficult it can be. And some of them do make it hard, like if you do, you know, these trials or whatever to cancel. But the Federal Trade Commission is changing that. It announced it would soon put in place a final click-to-cancel rule. That's going to make sellers make it easier for you to cancel your enrollment when you sign up.

Let's see. I like that. You do? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no. It's too hard. I mean, it's, you know, they want to confuse people and frustrate you,

and sometimes you think you've, you know, unsubscribed or unfollowed something or whatever. Yeah. And you haven't, so I like that. No, I do too. I can't remember what it was that we tried to cancel, and they wouldn't. I got all the way through the process, and it says, oh, it's not the device you signed up with. Oh. And I was like, you son of a bitch.

Yeah. They knew that at the beginning, and they didn't tell you. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Okay, so if you believe this, and I don't know if you do, we haven't even got to Halloween yet, but Aldi is looking ahead to Thanksgiving. They've announced an inflation-busting holiday meal. Is it called Spam?

So here's the deal. It comes out to $47 to feed a family of 10. That's $4.70 a person. Do you believe you could feed your family for $4.70 a person on Thanksgiving? No. No? You? No.

I mean, not well. Not well. That's correct. Not make them happy when they leave. They'll be talking shit about you. Does $47 even cover the cost of the turkey? Well, it's Aldi's lowest price Thanksgiving, they say. $2 cheaper than Walmart's deal, which is $7 a head.

So what do you get for $47? A 16-pound turkey with spice and gravy. You get rolls. You get some mac and cheese. You get stuffing. And then ingredients for cranberry sauce, potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green beans, and pumpkin pie. What is everybody, just a tablespoon of food?

Yeah, it seems like it. It seems like for $47, you're getting nearly the vegan-sized plate, you know. All right, some other news here uh it appears that vice president kamala harris participated in a fairly combative interview well you would expect that she went on uh fox with brett bear during the interview bear asked questions about immigration what she would do differently as a president which she said my presidency would not be a continuation of Joe Biden's. The communication director for the Harris campaign said, we feel like we achieved what we

set out to achieve in the interview. I did not see it. I don't watch any of that stuff. It just, all of it annoys me. All right. Okay. So it looks like President Joe Biden and talked with President Vladimir Zelensky yesterday about surging assistance to the country and announced, oh, good, a new $425 million aid package. Well, they needed more money, so we'll send them some. The new aid includes air defense capability, air-to-ground munitions, armored vehicles, et cetera, et cetera. munitions, armored vehicles, etc., etc. The Supreme Court rejected emergency requests yesterday that wanted the court to block the administration's move to enforce curbs on carbon emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants.

The court didn't block the action. It's still working through the system. It'll now go before the Court of Appeals and could end up back in front of the Supreme Court. The Bruce Pack recall continues to grow. Nationwide recall of ready-to-eat meals has grown to about 12 million pounds of product nationwide. Costco, Target, Walmart, Trader Joe's, Kroger, potentially dangerous Listeria in those products.

And what's this? It's Bruce Pack. It's meat and poultry. Is Aldi in on that one? They didn't say they were, but it could be. Maybe that's the discount. Is that the discount? That makes sense.

A man was arrested yesterday in Hillsborough County, Florida. Why? Well, he was threatening the utility workers. That's always good. The crews were working on restoring power to about 20,000 people without electricity, had traffic blocked, and 57-year-old Ken Velasco got pissed off, backed into a utility pole, a fence, tried to leave. Utility workers tried to keep him from leaving the scene.

He drove toward the workers, causing them to jump, threatened to shoot him. He was arrested without incident for being a dick. And a bridge over the Strong River on Highway 149 in Simpson County, Mississippi, was closed and being demolished when it collapsed yesterday, killing three of the workers on the demolition team. Now they said, hold my beer, and they didn't even get to finish. The bridge was part of a big replacement project that had been closed since September 18th. Hey, here's a little bit of a good news story.

When Brooklyn Lab Tech Mikkel Kornick switched jobs last year, he wanted to move his retirement account from his previous employer. He had been contributing to the account for about a decade, said the only way he could collect his $60,000 was for them to send him a check in the mail. Well, he never saw it. It was stolen from the mail and cashed by a criminal. Despite proving the check was stolen, he struggled for a year to get his money back. He had been in ongoing communication with the bank, which was responsible for handling it.

Nothing was resolved. He contacted ABC, and they jumped in. And, well, at this this time a check was sent to him via express mail and now he's got a 60 grand good so that's good i always try to screw you even when you can prove it all right you know that that's like horrifying it really is i mean it's a lot of money it's a ton of money that's a six hell yeah no this ain't 600 bucks that's 60 grand that's your life you're talking about, man. Stern Pinball released Metallica Pinball back in 2013.

It wound up being one of the most successful pinball machines in history. Where do you see those, by the way, these successful pinball machines? Anybody know? I'm not a pinball guy. I never enjoyed it. It just seemed hokey. You know, I was never really a fan either even when it was big it was like you know it never was as fun as a video game the video games are always better and it lasted you know there's a point where you just started hitting

the sides yeah and if you're not really playing you're just kind of like reacting to yeah and hoping that you'll hit it yeah yeah no doubt not my thing uh so now it's back as Metallica Remastered featuring a full-color LCD screen that shows new animations, even live concert videos. I don't know how you play a game and watch a concert video, but it includes expanded gameplay and 22 songs. 22 songs. You'd have to stand there a while to hear that. Or you could just maybe listen to it on your phone or watch a video.

I don't know. No arrest yet in the Jakey Lee shooting. The Vegas PD issued a statement yesterday. You know, he was shot while he was walking his dog. Unfortunately, not a lot of new information. He was shot multiple times. They think it was just completely random. It was just like a drive-by, basically.

It just happened to be Jakey Lee. Who is that? He was the guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne for a long time. Oh, really? Okay. Oh. Yeah, yeah. That's unfortunate.

It is. It is. Well, not to be outdone by Aldi, DiGiorno is bringing back their Thanksgiving pizza for a limited time. You'll have to go to Kroger to get one since it's only going to be offered there exclusively. If you like a pizza with Thanksgiving ingredients on it, well, here you go. You don't even need a whole meal. Just a pizza with all the stuff on it.

It's got a Detroit crust. It's topped with turkey, green beans, gravy sauce, cranberries, cheddar cheese, and onions. I don't think so. Ugh. I don't think so. That sounds like you should take it right out of the oven and drop it right in a trash can. And who thought it was a good idea at Kroger's to be like, we're going to be the only ones to sell this.

We want it all. Yeah, that's a Kroger thing to do. All right, let's get to some sports. Jerry Jones went into defensive mode. He was taking time with The Athletic to explain his outburst earlier this week on a Dallas radio show in which he appeared to threaten the show's hosts with their jobs. He doubled down on his comments saying his attitude would have been different, had questions about how the Cowboys handled their offseason asked by real

fans or by people who knew what they were talking about, the connotation being of course the host didn't and didn't have any idea what they were talking about. Among those taking issues with Jones was Shannon Sharp on first take. He didn't hold back. He voiced his hate and detest over someone in power putting someone beneath them. Look, that's who Jerry Jones is. He's always been that cat. He's not going to be anything different. He's Jerry Jones.

You know, he's got a lot of money. He's a billionaire. He doesn't give a damn how old is he. You know he's past the stage of caring about what he says or thinks or what anybody else thinks either. He's like, I'm rich and I'm old. And he's got a brand to protect. If you think somebody's taking cheap shots,

that's like you want your boss to stand up for you. Yeah. I mean, I think that's fair. I mean, I didn't hear it, but as long as it didn't take too negative of a turn or too hateful or too threatening, it's cool that he stands up and says, hey, I'm turn or too hateful or too threatening. Yeah. It's cool that he stands up and says, you know, hey, I'm not going to put up with this crap. Yeah.

Yeah, I like that. All right. Just under a month. I'm pro-Jerry, sorry. You're pro-Jerry. No, that's fine. That's fine. You know, I just wish they'd get a W.

Just under a month before the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. First of all, is this thing going to happen? I don't know. You think it's ever going to make it? There's a guy that I work with that is so excited. It's all he can talk about. Well, not all, but it's one of his primary talks. It's very high on his list.

He's so excited. He grew up at the time that we did where Iron Mike is like the dude. No, no, Iron Mike would kill you. Even at this age, he's still like a terrifying man. Oh, no. So the specter glove, I think a lot of people are wrapped up in. I feel like it will happen. I think they pulled the plug once already yeah do it again it's going to be kind of like you know crying wolf or whatever yeah how about you what rich i i hope it

happens but i kind of thought it already did no no no they're going to milk this for everything they can you know what i'm saying? Do you like fighting, Marla? Yeah, Jason's a boxer. Really? I didn't know Jason boxed. I knew he did a lot of things. I didn't know he did that. He's a boxer. His best friend was a pro boxer. Really? Oh, wow, that's dope. Yeah, I love boxing. It's my favorite sport.

So what do you think of this fight? Honestly, I'm like rich. I thought it had already happened. I'd kind of forgotten about it. I'm a huge Mike Tyson fan, though. I like everything he does. You know what? Mike Tyson fan, though. Yeah. Like, everything he does. You know what? Mike is a unique character because he was beloved, then he was hated, like, as much as anyone could be hated, I think.

And somehow, someway, he came out the other side and changed everything in the narrative. He turned it around. I mean, nobody has ever turned a narrative bigger. But have you seen his one-man show that's like on Broadway? I haven't. It's fantastic. Is it really? Absolutely, yeah.

What does he do? It's just him talking for like an hour and telling his life story. It's probably pretty damn fascinating, honestly. And he did such a great job. I was, I mean, my jaw dropped. It was just, I was so impressed. Really? Yeah, you should watch it.

I'm thinking it was Netflix. I don't remember. I'm sure Jason might tell me, but it was great. He'm thinking it was Netflix. I don't remember. I'm sure Jason might tell me. He's such a unique character. He is. When you see him on podcasts and other interviews, the interviewers are actually a little bit scared of him. Yes. You can tell.

It really comes across. Why wouldn't you be? He's obviously combative. He can back up whatever he says. Yes. He's a little bit of a wild animal. I really feel like. Oh, no, still.

I don't think that he would think really for a second about just punching somebody on air if there's an issue. Oh, no, I think he'd light you up. Yeah, oh, absolutely. He did some, I don't know if it was a celebrity boxing thing or a charity boxing thing, but there's something a few years ago where he fought, it was like exhibition-type things.

It was just like one-minute rounds, something like that, from Roy Jones Jr., I believe. Okay. And Roy Jones is no punk. No, punk no no absolutely not he was a champion they were interviewing mike and roy jones jr standing there and sorry if i if it's not roy jones jr i'm almost positive it is it was and dude roy jones like i don't want to i mean yeah he can't catch his breath he can't hold his hands up he's like and mike's like you know hey it's good yeah it's good fun yeah you know so like roy jones jr is no slouch and here's what i don't know wore him out yeah here's what i

don't know about this fight look i i don't know if is it jake paul is that is it yeah right jake i i i guess he's real to some extent you know i mean i i i certainly he can fight i just don't know how real but my question is really not about him. It's about what Mike Tyson does when he gets in that ring. Because he can say it's an exhibition. What I don't know is does he have complete control over the animal in there? Or is there a hit that Jake Paul lands and he goes, oh, wait a minute, son. You want to play this?

I'm Mike Tyson. Let me show you. I'm going to be this? Yeah. I'm Mike Tyson. Let me show you. A little bit of crazy. I'm going to be honest with you, and as much as I hate to say it, there'd be nothing I'd love more than to watch Tyson drop Paul. Yeah. I mean, cold. Like, sleep. Yeah, for sure.

Take a nap. I don't think Tyson's got, like, a governor on him. You know? That's what I wonder. It's like, I'm going to punch you 80% hard. I don't think he can do that. That's what I'm saying. Is he still feral?

That's what I want to know. Is he still feral? So, let me get back to the story apparently uh the attorney is taking issue with a comment made by paul last week concerning the fight he offered tyson five million extra if he lasted more than four rounds in the ring with him if tyson isn't able to last the four rounds he'll have to get a tattoo that reads I love Jake Paul. This could be construed the same he said as saying don't try to KO me

in the early rounds and might raise questions among those who might consider laying money on the fight since Texas is calling it a professional bout, not an exhibition. I wonder why they're not calling it an exhibition. I wonder what in the rules. Yeah, what are the rules that differentiate?

Yeah, because that means that if it's not an exhibition, you might get your ass knocked out. Yeah, absolutely. You know, I hope he does, too. I really am over this influencer, social media personalities that really get big and, like, you're supposed to really care about them. That makes me feel like the oldest man in the world. That and Eminem being 52.

Yeah. But I just, I just can't get on board with these people. I can't keep up with them. I don't really care. I think they're kind of silly. And I would love for Mike Tyson to go out there and do what he does best. Yeah. I mean, Jake Paul certainly has, I have to respect that he's got where he's gotten.

He's making the money that he's making, but it's certainly unorthodox, and a lot of fighters are resentful, I think, of that. Sure, sure. You know, but until somebody can knock him out and shut him up. Yeah, sure. Well, actually, Floyd Mayweather did sleep him on his shoulder for a minute, but he held him up until he woke up so they could get to that exhibition. Well, that didn't take long at all.

The NCAA put out a new interpretation of the rules regarding a 12-man on the field penalty in the final two minutes of either half. Now if a team has 12 players actively participating, the offense can then choose to have the game clock reset to the time that had been displayed at the snap in addition to the time that had been displayed at the snap in addition to the five-yard penalty if a 12th man was trying to leave the field and didn't affect the play no change would be made this comes after Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning admitted on Monday

that his team's 12-man penalty was an intentional ploy to exploit the rule to run time off in the clock in their win against Ohio State. Well, you know, some people might take exception with that, but playing the rules is what you do. I mean, sometimes that's part of winning is knowing the rules and how to use them. Or you're just Ryan Day, who's a big crybaby. Yeah, you're a Michigan fan, though. Yeah, we talked about this on Tuesday.

Yeah, no. Wasn't it just last year that, you know, Michigan beat us? Yeah, you're a Michigan fan, so I have to discount what you say on that. Sorry. I know you're biased. You know, I'm not that in the tank for Ohio. I'm still a Razorback guy. Right.

I just like the Buckeyes because my wife and son do. But I'm still a Razorback fan, which makes no sense at all because we don't do anything. But anyway, okay, well, let's do something different. We've done enough news for now. These shows here just keep getting better and better. Now, exactly how much pot did you smoke? Patrick. And the people.

Well, probably quite a bit, to be honest with you. Okay, let's take a look at a couple of other things that i've got lined up here that i want to talk about first of all let me just tell you if you don't know uh some improvements and things that we've done here uh as of yesterday if you're trying to find us or different ways to listen to us we're now on facebook youtube x rumble od Twitch, DLive, our own website. And now on the Patrick and the People website, there is a listen-only option, which a lot of people like when they're driving or doing things like that. Maybe you're at work and you just want to hear it. You don't want the video medium, so you can do that.

Truth Social, Google Business, TikTok, Instagram threads, iHeart. Ah, suckers. Suck on that, bitch. Suck on that, bitch. Suck on that. Sorry. I apologize. I lost my composure. Spotify, Amazon, Audible, Apple, Linktree,

Let's talk about a couple things here. Pepsi is trying to win back customers turned off by shrinkflation. If you hadn't noticed, everything's getting smaller. You're paying more, but you're getting less. So one of the problems, they've got a promotion now.

They're going to offer more potato chips in the bag of Lay's, Doritos, Tostitos, and Ruffles. They said bonus bags of Tostitos and Ruffles will have 20% more chips at the same price as the standard bag. They said it will also add two more small bags of chips to the 18-bag variety because people have been like, listen, I'm getting more air in the bag than I am chips. This is ridiculous. You know, some people remember when a bag of chips was actually full when you opened it.

You know, you hear that. I don't really remember that. You don't remember that? I don't remember that. You don't remember that? And I've always heard that there's so much air in there for packaging to keep it from getting the chips crunched, you know? Yeah. So it's always seemed like they're screwing you.

Well, it is kind of a screw, isn't it? Yeah. Now, this is kind of tagging on to that. Lays has another thing. Fans of Lays products can start submitting ideas on a new potato chip flavor, maybe become a millionaire. They have a thing, Do Us a Flavor. It's a contest that started yesterday.

It's been on a seven-year hiatus. It's after years of people asking for its return, I know I have been. Have you? You've been wanting to name a Lay's chip? You've been thinking about it? Email weekly. Yeah, seven years. My life's been empty.

I think I'm going to do the pizza turkey dinner chip. Oh, yeah. There you go. You know what? Have you ever had a chip or food so weird it hurts your head? Like, I ate a hot dog flavored chip one time. It tastes so much like a hot dog I couldn't process it. It made me very uncomfortable. Oh yeah. Yeah it's been bothering me for years. It tasted too much like a hot dog. I ate a scorpion.

Why? Like the actual bug? Yeah. Why did you do this? I was in China, and they were selling it to eat, so Jason told me I had to because I was a P word if I didn't. You're a wussy. Yeah. Was it alive? No, they deep fry it. They deep fry it? What did it taste like? Nothing?

It tasted like Cavender's flavored crunchy. Cavender's flavored crunchy. They put some seasoning in it after they ate it. I ate two of them. Really? Oh, it must have been okay then. No, they're just five on a stick and me and a girl sharing. What kind of sauce do you do?

Is that ranch or barbecue? What do you put on that? Always ranch. You're a ranch girl? Oh, yeah. What about yourself, Rich? What kind of sauce do you, are you a sauce guy? Ranch, barbecue.

Ranch, okay. Yourself? I mean, depends. Like ranch is easy. Barbecue's good. Sometimes I like hot barbecue. Yeah. They got a new thing we got at Walmart the other day.

It's hot ketchup, spicy ketchup. Oh, yeah? In this glass bottle. It's wonderful. I forget. You like it? I think it's Hoff's hot ketchup or something. You know you're getting older when you like the spicy ketchup.

Oh, it's so good. You got to go get your bottle. Yeah? Okay. All right. Yeah, I am the odd man out in my family. I do not like ranch. I don't like it at all it makes my wife very upset do you see it as a dipping sauce or a salad dressing because

i mean it's it's it's either i mean every place it's i think it's the number one dipping sauce in america i think so yeah yeah i i think it is i think everybody's like thick then that's dipping if it's ready oh okay. And there's different variations. Like when I met Laura, she was still getting the ranch from Hidden Valley in a bottle. Mm-hmm. And I converted her over. I said, have you ever made your own? Yeah.

And I made it for her, and she's never bought, she doesn't buy the store-bought anymore. She makes it. Jason always makes me healthy versions of everything. Healthy version. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You can't have healthy ranch. Ranch is fat.

You rub it on your ass. I mean, that's what you do with it. No, he doesn't do anything healthy. Have you do with it. Well, how do you make it healthy? I guess I didn't do what do we need to have him come in and shirtless cook for us or something on the show? Well, you might not, but I would. Well, the ladies might like to see it or not even just the ladies. Anybody. I don't know who might like to see it. Rich, you might. ladies. Anybody might. I don't know who might like to see it. Rich, you might. I don't know. He could be a wrestler for you.

The shirtless chef. The shirtless chef. He brings out his meals. Now, does he have a YouTube or anything? Does he really do that? He's got tons of articles on my Celine. Yeah? Yeah.

Tons of them. You know I can't read. I know. I'll do some. Yeah, we should have it. Tell him we need to have the shirtless chef on the show for sure. I'll do that. Yeah, for sure.

What's his specialty to whip up? Your hormones? I'm telling you what. I mean, he's pretty cute. He takes every, like he takes recipes and makes them healthy. So you, and the recipes are on there and then you can make yourself, like he makes a healthy Big Mac. I mean, just everything is healthy. That sounds like an oxymoron, but I'm going to trust that you're telling the truth there.

I just don't know. That seems hard to believe a healthy Big Mac. I mean, it's not a true Big Mac. It sure tastes like one. Yeah. It's just healthy. Okay. All right.

Now, he's not a vegan, is he? He's not. Okay. So it is hamburgers that you're eating, like soy burger or vegetable burger. You know, I used to – All that stuff. I saw something the other day that I should have known this. I thought grass-fed kind of meant –

and I guess they use a lot of these feel-good things. That that meant they were out on a field and in a meadow eating grass. That is not the case. What's it mean? No, no, it just means they roll fresh grass right up in front of them. They're still in the, you know, standing in the same type stalls, just getting fresh grass. So you want pasture-raised? Well, I think free-range is the correct word.

Free-range. That's chickens, right? I don't know. Well, yeah, it could be. Free-range chickens, they have have cable they have recliners they have uh you know uh paid time off they have pto have you ever tried to go vegetarian or vegan uh no not really not seriously yeah i don't have like a really a moral issue with eating meat necessarily no i have zero i would i would i would like to try to do that but it seems very very

difficult and uh but the health benefits have to be fantastic anybody that you see that really is honest to god vegan or vegetarian you don't see they're not fat no but i i don't feel like i don't know man i i might challenge that i i think that these bodies are meant to run on a high level of protein now you may be able to get it through other sources. There are, yes. But I'm saying that I don't know, man. Everybody I've ever seen that doesn't eat meat seems anemic to me. Well, I mean, they might be anemic, but they call it a pesca vegetarian where he eats fish is the only meat that he eats.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like 900. I could go with that. Yeah, no, I mean, how old is he? Man, he's got to be close to 90. Yeah. No, I think he's way older than that. Dude, no, Steve Martin's not way older.

Yeah. 70 is easy. You think so? All right. You know what? Who's going to pull up? I'm doing it right now. I guess he was born in 49.

I'm going to say 72. Okay, I like this game, y'all. Now we've got a new game. Hold on. I need to bring the bell in with me. Okay 49. I'm going to say 72. Okay. I like this game, y'all. Now we've got a new game. Hold on. I need to bring the bell in with me. Okay. So we're going to – who did we say? Who is it?

Steve Martin. Steve Martin. Yeah, sorry. Made my brain short. You could have just asked the audience. They would have already – I don't want to do that. Comment on Facebook.

All right. Here we go. Okay. He was born in 45, by the way. Okay. And he's 79. So, yeah. So he is in 45, by the way. Okay, okay. And he's 79. So, yeah, he is a little younger than I thought. He is a pioneer in a way a lot of people don't know.

Now, I think he's kind of a yuck-yuck comic. But having said that, he was the first comedian to really take a show on the road to big theaters and not uh not arenas but like you know big places oh yeah yeah he was huge um you should read if you hadn't already his book born standing up yeah it's a autobiography of his stand-up career really it doesn't really talk about movies it talks about just stand up when he started and and like just his career as he developed the white suit so people could see him better yeah it's very very very interesting. I bet it is fascinating. And, you know, he had hit songs. He had all kinds of things, you know, comedy albums.

Back then you had albums that people put out for comedy. Have you heard him play the banjo? He's actually very, very talented. Oh, he's incredible. Yeah, he's actually a great player. I was kind of disappointed he and Martin Short canceled their show in Little Rock last year on my birthday. I was disappointed in that, too. I wanted to go.

Why did they cancel? I don't know. Although the tickets were too expensive, so we weren't going. But it was my birthday. You could have gone, but you didn't go. Yeah, I think the tickets were like $2.25. I remember that. Or something like that for cheap seats.

If you see those two together, the same show is on netflix i think it is so hilarious you've got two of the three amigos yeah that is true that is true that is the only two you want yeah who's the third one chevy chase why do you not like i like chevy he seems like no he's a dick he is he is he is but he was very funny uh still i guess is funny but he was very funny. Still, I guess, is funny. But he was funny in the 80s. He had a lot of good funny movies. I think it's just as he's gotten older, his personality has evolved to where he's kind of a dick. No, he's an ass. He's a complete ass.

He's one of those people who really think he's more important than he probably is. I was never a Caddyshack fan, but always loved National Ambulance Vacation. Yes. So the first vacation is so good. Yeah, Fletch is good. Fletch is amazing. I went back and watched the first vacation not long ago. And, you know, sometimes you just got to be there in the 80s because when I watched it this time, I was like, meh.

Really? You don't think it holds up? No, I was like, meh. Now, Christmas Vacation holds up pretty good every year. It's classic, sure. It's classic. You know, but the first one, I was like, it's not as funny as I remember. Okay.

John Candy was pretty funny. He said, what do you have, the BB gun he was holding? It's a magnum. Yeah, he finally realized it's a BB gun. He said, well, it could lodge under the skin and cause an infection. Yeah, yeah. And that's pretty funny. There are some funny lines.

Now, Fletch was, I really liked Fletch. Fletch was a very funny movie to me did you see the remake wasn't there uh oh with john ham no i have no is it good yeah oh yeah really i love john ham i i just yeah i love john ham too but i'll be honest i've yet to see an 80s remake that was as good as the 80s does anybody have one a movie or anything fall guy was fantastic okay that movie was good that was awesome really that was a great movie that was a very good movie uh and fall guy was a good show though but that was a good i'll go with that one that that one kind of fit you know they made it they made it right they did they did that right uh any of the arnold movies that have been remade they're trash

total recall trash trash yeah yeah uh there was another one they redid that was Arnold that was trash, too. I don't know. I'm trying to remember what it was. But all those 80s, you know, the remake of Red Dawn, trash. Yeah. I mean, you can't find an 80s movie they've redone that's good. So, all right, let's get to this, though. This is pretty fascinating.

You know, we're talking a lot these days about the hurricanes and weather and all of that maybe you don't know this talked about it in the past but uh hash browns biscuits waffles with a hearty helping of maple syrup are among the classic southern comfort foods but when hurricanes tear through southeastern towns the hot meals and bold yellow signs of waffle house provide another kind of comfort. Maybe you don't know this, but Waffle House helps FEMA judge how strong storms are. It's a pretty amazing thing. If a Waffle House stays open in a town, even in a limited capacity, neighbors are reassured that the storm's unlikely to cause devastation. A closed location of the chain has

come to indicate impending disaster. That metric is literally known as the Waffle House Index. No, that's not the size of your ass. What might sound like silly logic has actually become one of the most reliable ways there is for federal officials to gauge the severity of a storm and identify the communities who need help the most. About two dozen locations remain closed in the Carolinas and the Chains Home State of Georgia on Tuesday, two weeks after they, you know, dealt with Hurricane Helene. Several other locations were open serving a limited menu. So literally the federal government looks and if waffle house is closed that's where they're sending aid the first you know yeah i heard

about this a few years ago there's a youtube channel called the company man that i really like and he goes by it's kind of the rise and fall of companies and that type of oh okay that's interesting it's really digestible uh information it's like usually like 15 minutes or less you know it's a really good really good channel. And he talked about this. And the Waffle House is a really tremendous company. Yeah. Actually, people love to work there. I believe that.

The higher-ups, they have the thing, if the people, the cook staff and the waitresses and the servers are working, the people up top are working too. So they have a thing where their corporate headquarters is open on Christmas and New Year's and Thanksgiving. That's pretty cool. And they expect people to work. So now, I don't know if that's like they say, oh, we expect you to work, and I'm working from home today kind of a thing.

Right. But that's what they say. And it seems to be pretty authentic, pretty genuine. The two guys were World War II buddies or something that started it. Really? And they brought values into it. And, I mean, it's obviously a majorly successful chain. No, it everybody likes waffles you clown on it but it's damn good you know they got their own songs on the jukebox yes yeah people will play them mercilessly while you're there

yes uh there is honestly if you've been out let's say at the clubs kicking it you know it's one two three in the morning is there a better place to go than Waffle House? I mean, Waffle House is so good. My biggest complaint about it is it's great if you're up to four people. Oh, yeah. Because the booth situation. You really can't pull a fifth chair up. Once you're at fifth or sixth, you're no good.

I don't like the high bar. I don't like the low bar. I like a booth, you know. And I'm kind of getting to where the table seems to be a little closer to the booth than it used to be. Yeah, it does. I guess everybody's so ozempic, they're like, scoot it in some more. Make the fat people suffer. Look, I'm coming to Waffle House.

You know I got some fat on me. Everybody has crazy Waffle House stories. Marla, do you have one? I don't. You don't have a crazy... I got fired from Waffle House. Okay, that's a good.

Let's go. What happened? How'd that happen? You have to memorize the prices on the menu. I was 16. I was dyslexic, didn't know. Okay. And I would write down the wrong prices.

But the menu's right there. Why can't I hold the menu and put down the prices on the receipt? No, apparently that wouldn't allow. So the guy that was the manager looked exactly like Larry from Three's Company. Oh, really? Larry the Scallywag. Exactly like him. And he'd take you in his little office where that little window is,

chain smoking, and you're standing so close to him thinking, oh, thank God I got fired because I did not want to go in that office with Larry. Man, it's funny because we were just talking yesterday about how smoking you know it used to be that you could smoke in the workplace it didn't matter if other people smoked or not that was just how it was and you had to deal with it didn't you oh yeah how about you rich that is a great story you got fired from waffles i'll never forget that all right you didn't make it at waffle house House. Wow, and look at me now. Yeah. Wishing you weren't at Waffle House. I know. I'm kidding.

I've never seen anything crazy happen at Waffle House. I've heard of stories, though, especially in Hot Springs. Well, I'm sure in Hot Springs. Like a fight that broke out there. I'm sure Al Capone was at the Waffle House in Hot Springs. I'm sure. I'm sure. Crazy Waffle House? No, crazy.

I got a lot of going trips, but never crazy. Yeah. My wife tells a story she she's told this story a few times in stand-up so i don't mind sharing it but uh but i knew it anyway uh before we met she was uh out with her friends and you know we're getting a drink on you're having a good time and she had to pee i don't know i guess she didn't think she could make it inside waffle house so she just decided to go behind their dumpster and pee for some reason because that's Laura for you.

But what she didn't realize is that it's on Cantrell. And so she was so drunk she didn't realize that everybody was coming down Cantrell could see her ass. Oh, really? Yeah. That's a true story, man. Yeah, she's famous for needing to stop and pee in places that aren't bathrooms. Okay, okay.

Yeah. No, we were talking the other day. We used to, you know, go all over the state doing stand-up. And I don't remember where we were going, maybe Clinton. It was particularly in the country. And she was like, you've got to stop here on the side of the road. I can't wait. And so she would just open the doors, you know, on the vehicle

and crouch in between. She misjudged and fell backwards down the hill. Bro, you got to break her. She needs to pee in the bathroom. I think she's good now. She's housebroken now. I should not say that. I'm in so much trouble, man.

That is wrong. It's funny, though. You're talking about Waffle House and down here being used as a thing for how serious a storm is. In the north where I'm from, 30 here, you know, being used as a thing for, you know, how serious a storm is. In the north where I'm from, like, 30 inches of snowfall, Waffle House is the one thing open. You know you can go there and ride out the storm. Well, you know, there's a huge difference in how we deal with weather here and in the north. Yeah.

You know, I mean, you guys get 12 inches of snow. Kids are still walking to school. Oh, yeah. Here, we get a threat of one inch of snow. Every school is closed. People are driving weird. They're taking all the milk and the eggs out. It cracks me up every time.

And what's crazy is, is there anybody ever? I mean, I can remember, I think in 99-2000, whichever it was, there was an ice storm where power was out for maybe a week and a half. I know we were out by about 10, which was post-apocalyptic in that point but otherwise is there ever a time that you've been frozen in so long you couldn't get groceries uh i think not i i haven't but i do have a question but everybody panics like it's going to be the last snow that ever happened sure why is it always milk and bread y'all like just make milk sandwiches to survive on or something i don't know i don't know that's uh i guess yes we do marla's got a

the shirtless chef is making milk and i'll tell you this look i you know and this is this is really telling you that i i i grew up pretty poor to be honest with you and uh my mom would make uh sometimes for breakfast because we were poor as hell, what was called milk toast. That's just toast. You tear it up, put it in a bowl, put a little sugar over it, and pour warm milk on it. That was milk toast. That was breakfast, bro.

Breakfast. Was it good? It was then. I don't know now if it's good. You kind of paused. You're like, you know what? Actually, I'm bitching, but it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad, but that was then you know i mean i i don't know now you're like you know what actually i'm bitching but it wasn't bad i mean but that was then i you know i used to like deviled ham too and i wouldn't eat that for anything yeah sure i don't eat potted meat i can't identify it you

know just once in a while make it you know just uh milk toast yeah you know no you don't have a favorite you know pastime no if i were to stop and make something from my childhood, and I've never done it, but I should, it's chocolate gravy. Oh, yeah, I love chocolate gravy. Oh, man, my grandma made chocolate gravy. That stuff, man, I'll punch anyone in the face for it right now. I don't give a damn. I've lived down here since 2009.

I've never once tasted chocolate gravy. I've heard of Aston. I've lived here since I was five, and I've never had it either. I'm real sorry for both of you and your lives, and that's probably caused a lot of bitterness and sadness. Right across my parking lot. That's why I'm so angry. My mother.

Nieces, she has chocolate gravy. Does she? Yeah. Oh, I need to come. My mother makes some fantastic chocolate gravy. Really? Absolutely. It's probably just like Hershey syrup that she gets hot or something,

but it is fantastic. No, there's more. I used to watch my grandmother make it, and, I mean, you make it like regular gravy. You just add in cocoa and all this stuff, and it comes out to be something quite magical that puts a lot of fat on your ass. So does it have, like, an actual chocolate taste to it? It's sweet and chocolate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You take these, you know, the biscuits.

You put butter in them so you get plenty of salt, and then you dump that chocolate gravy on it and you eat it. We'd put it over pancakes. We never did biscuits yet. And I've had chocolate gravy where it's kind of thick, almost like a pudding. Yeah, you're not doing a braggery. Yeah. Wealthy kids got pancakes.

The real rich kids got waffles. Right. I'm going to have Jason make you some healthy chocolate gravy. How about that? If it's good, that's fine. If it's not, me and Jason are going, we're going to have problems. If he's going to go to all the trouble, just have him make a regular chocolate gravy. Nah, just try both. Yeah, now, do you remember a food from your childhood that now you probably would be like, that's crazy, but that it was a

staple in your house? I don't remember. You were talking about potted meat. Yeah. I remember having this chicken in a can or something. Oh, like Sweet Sue's chicken or something? Maybe a little small. Like a tuna can almost. Kind of, but much smaller and it had white paper around it. Yep. And then you kind of spread it.

And then brought liver cheese, whatever that stuff is. What? It sounds like cat food. And like sandwich meat that had this white thing around it. I used to love and i can't like liverloaf liverloaf yeah when i worked at a gas station oh wow i never had i worked at a gas station through the end of high school into the college and we had liverloaf in the in the deli and we'd slice it really yeah and there was there's barbecue loaf too yes i remember and people would come in and give me a give me a half pound of liverloaf and you cut it up and it was just it was disgusting to me but they were they were man i do remember

barbecue loaf uh that that was pretty probably how about you man is it what about food from your childhood that like now you're like probably not but then it was i mean i got a little bit of a belly on me so there's not many food you know I'm like, no, I'm not going to do that. No? Okay. You know, nothing special, really, that I ever do. Okay, okay. And yourself? No, I mean, the only modifications I've made to my diet since childhood is I can't eat as much of it, or I have to take a my Prilosec before I eat it.

Okay. So, like, barbecue is used to now. Showing your age. It's an age thing. It's not a, it's changing. I'll never forget. I used to put hot sauce, like the commercial set up with that shit on everything, you know, and I really did. I mean, I was a hot sauce guy, hot sauce on hot sauce.

And I remember going to get an upper, you know, you go get a colonoscopy and they did an upper and lower GI. And the doctor came to me, he goes, man, you eat a lot of spicy food. And I said, yeah, no, I do. I eat a lot of hot sauce. He goes, you have a lot of indigestion. I said, no, I sure don't, man. He said, you're about to.

And I said, what do you mean? He goes, see this picture right here where it's red? And he's like, that's inflammation from the spice. And I said, okay, yeah, whatever. And I blew him off. About two weeks later later i had the worst indigestion really my life had to quit eating spicy stuff really for the most part yeah i eat it every once in a while the other day my brother he was like hey did i tell you about how i almost

died the other night i was like what oh my god i was like tell me yeah that one brother tell me open up to me share this with me and he said i was laying there and i just kind of felt like i had to throw up and i was and it was like stomach was like, oh, that's acid reflux. I was like, I have that all the time. Yeah. You didn't like survive something. Yeah, welcome to your life, son. Yeah, yeah.

Chuck, he wants to get like a silicone bracelet and all this stuff. Oh, yeah. He wants a 5K. Yeah, exactly. A 5K for his indigestion. Yeah. I was like, dude, I hate your guts for only experiencing that at 46 and not starting when I did at like 19. That's hilarious.

That's hilarious. Now, is there a food that you ate so much of as a kid that now you're just like, I'm burnt on it completely. I don't ever want it again. Ramen noodles. Ramen noodles? Oh, God. Really? Oh, I can't stand them.

Wow. You know, man, you would be rich in prison. Right. Because you could get rid of all your Rommies, huh? Is there a food that you got burnt out on as a kid? No, no, I don't think so. How about you, Marla? I don't think so.

See, I've got several. Because it was so regular. I mean, like at my house, you could literally, you knew every day what it was going to be because she had her own menu in her head. But spam, I don't eat spam anymore. I do have spam stories. Kool-Aid, nope. Done with Kool-Aid.

Don't ever drink Kool-Aid again. I don't like it. Chicken on a bone, I'm out. Really? Don't you like chicken on a bone? Don't want it. To gross you out? No, don't want it.

If it resembles anything that was living, I need complete disbelief. I need to believe it grew up as a nugget. Okay. Yeah. I want to believe it had legs and eyes as a nugget. Fair enough. Yeah. Yeah.

Just a little chicken nugget running around the field. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Something like that. Hey, we got to do something here. Oh, I know what I need to do. Hold on one second.

Hold on one second. Let me just tell you a little bit about Fitz Auto. All right. If you have not got a vehicle in a while, you've been thinking about it. Look, don't be silly and go buy something brand new. Because as soon as you do, you drive it off the lot, you're going to depreciate 25, 30%. I promise you. Go try to trade it in as soon as you drive it off. You're screwed. Okay. Get a late model, low mileage vehicle. That's what you're going to get the most value for your money at. And the best place to do it is Fitz Auto. They work with you regardless of what your credit history is. You buy there, you pay there, and it reports to the

credit bureau. Now you can go to FitzAuto.com and do an app online, or you can go to 8421 Stagecoach Road in Little rock and do it right there uh they're good folks though they're very good people and you know if you want a good car at a good price they're the ones that can really help you make that happen and then one more i want to tell you about is if you're in arkansas and you need a roof then i want you to go to titanroofingcompany.com here are a couple things you need to know. They have a transferable warranty. That's really big if you sell your house, okay? So if you sell, if you get a 10-year transferable warranty and you sell in five years,

You say, oh, brother. Hey, it's not a copy or a clone of any previous bit. But if you think so, hey, we don't give a shit. Yeah, that's right. We don't. Yeah. We don't do that. An Ohio cop trying to wrangle a runaway inflatable pumpkin in the middle of a residential road was attacked by the decoration and ended up engulfed. Dash cam video shared by the Bay Village PD shows an officer arriving at a scene near Wolf and Sadler Road to find the runaway pumpkin in the middle.

The video shows the cop trying to move it, but instead ends up swallowed up by it as it rolls off. The department joked the officer was attacked by the Halloween display. Luckily, no officers or pumpkins were harmed, so that's good. Police at the University of Montana issued an alert Tuesday morning to warn students and faculty of a bear walking around the campus. Well, University of Montana, wouldn't you kind of expect a bear to be walking around the campus? I would be disappointed if there wasn't a bear walking around. Yeah, I expect to see moose, elk, bear.

I mean, that's what you're supposed to see in Montana. The police department sent at 5.09 a.m. revealed the bear was spotted near a bike rack, probably trying to steal it. The bear followed a student for a short time but didn't aggressively pursue him. They located it down the road and just told the kids, hey, it's a bear, be careful. A man was stabbed by a Popeyes employee. Yeah, Popeyes didn't mess around, man. No play. No, they, listen, don't, don't screw around with Popeyes. They will stab you.

This occurred just after 11 local time. A spokesperson for the Philadelphia PD said a 28-year-old was transported to the hospital, multiple stab wounds, in stable condition, said detectives are investigating. But the worker was acting in self-defense. The 28-year-old customer had a dispute over the food order and started attacking and assaulting one of the employees. You know, when did it become in vogue to start attacking the fast food employees? Yeah, it's crazy. It really is.

People have such low emotional intelligence that they would get to that level of anger over a fast food order. I said no onions, bitch. Let's go. Right. I mean, that's crazy, man. All right. Let's see what else is going on here.

Here we go. The wife carrying contest is back. That's right. In Maine, an annual event involving dirt, beer, and cash once again drew dozens of eager competitors to a ski resort in Maine Saturday. More than 30 couples competed in the North American Wife Carrying Championship. That is a 278-yard race during which contestants splash through water, leap logs, trudge through mud while carrying their partner like a sack of potatoes. See, Jason could probably do that.

You could probably win it. Well, I'm not that light. But are there different weight divisions? For the wife? I think Ozempic is the fastest. That is a requirement. Yeah, no, Ozempic would be doping. That's right.

No, you've got to carry the fat one. The sports origin story isn't exactly politically correct uh it's based on a 19th century finnish legend because we all have finnish legends in our life involving a man known as ron caney and the robber and he was known to pillage villages and carry away the women so they based a contest on that right okay it's very politically correct no i like that i would like to look more into that because it's pretty interesting did he do this often was this just a one thing i mean how many women are you running how many did he carry away because

he could be legendary he could if he just carried off many many of them and just kept showing up and you're like oh come on man i just married her what's up dog and you know there's some guys it's like oh thank God that dude showed up. This guy is a big Finnish legend. That's his problem now. No, that is great. If you know how to get rid of her, I'll marry her. Yeah, he'll come get her for sure.

He'll pick her up, no doubt about it. All right. Let's go to this story then. Oh, hold on one second. Okay. Man, this guy is in big trouble. It's Hurricane Milton wreaked havoc on Florida. You might have come across a video that a lot of people did. Florida Highway Patrol showed a dog that had been left to fend for itself by its owner.

Over 12 million people saw that video, and now they're happy to learn justice has been served. The former dog owner has reportedly been ID'd as 23-year-old Giovanni Garcia. And the reason people were upset is he tied the dog to a post outside the house and then evacuated and just left the dog tied to the post. I'm like, bro, you couldn't get the dog in the car? Right. What's the problem, man? You're going to leave your dog there tied up?

I mean, I'll stay behind. Get the dog out of here. That's crazy, man. Would you leave your dog back like that i mean i'll stay behind let's get the dog out of here that's crazy man would you leave your dog back like that oh hell no no man it's terrible you know kid's 23 not to make well that is true he is his brain's not fully developed i mean he was i mean if i had to evacuate and i was 23 i don't know what i'd do i don't think that i would leave my animals i'm pretty positive of that but Maybe he was, like, on vacation. He just forgot. Just forgot, yeah. Tied to the bumper. What was Lucky?

Was that the dog's name that was tied to the bumper? It's all unpacked and everything. Oh, where's Lucky? I forgot. Yeah. All right. Many people think that anything goes in Australia. Not the case.

Take the pub at South Australia's Colley Hotel. They have a policy against facial tattoos. Carrie Ashby learned about the policy the hard way when she was asked to lead by management. The 63-year-old woman had a mandala tattoo on her forehead and a sea creature design on her neck. Since she was humiliated and called it unwarranted and unjustified, since they didn't make their policy clear,

a spokesperson said, look look facial tats have to be covered up unless they have religious or cultural significance well you don't think a mandala tattoo has a cultural or religious significance is that a good reason to keep someone out a tattoo on your face no i mean i'm not for face tattoos i think it's not for me but it's certainly not a place to kick somebody out of a pub. No, but you do see a lot more of it now. I mean, sometimes I'll pull up to Mickey D's or any other place, and you see face tattoos and all that. My daughter has one right here.

On her neck? Yeah. Yeah, I don't consider that face. That's not next to it. Yeah, yeah. But, like, once you get the cheeks, like a Post Malone situation. Yeah, or you're up on the forehead. It's kind of, yeah, yeah. If she's running out of property, Malone situation. Yeah, or you're up on the forehead.

She's running out of property. She might have to go face up. What's she got on her neck? A black widow. A black widow. She's kind of covered everywhere. Do you have one sleeve or two? I have a sleeve, and then it's down to here. Okay, okay.

I'm going to do more work on Saturday. Okay. That's cool. I notice a lot of modern girls, I see at restaurants when I go eat, I don't go to clubs or see them out. Madeline would not let me. Right. No, understandably.

They've just got little emblems, little things kind of everywhere. Oh, yeah. That is the big trend now. That's like the big thing. It's almost like a charm, like a charm bracelet you see. Exactly right. You're getting charms on it. Yeah.

Like a. There's got to be a word for that. Ariana Grande. I think she's got little ones. Yeah. And Harry Styles. Well, she couldn't have big ones. I mean, she weighs about like eight pounds soaking wet.

I saw her on SNL. I was like, is she a full-grown woman yet? Jesus. Okay, so did you not wish she would sing over the musical guest? Stevie Nicks? Well, Stevie Nicks is like a million years old. A million and a half at least. No, they shouldn't have dusted Stevie off.

She doesn't need the money anymore. I don't know why they keep doing that to these folks. You know, I loved Stevie back in the day. She was, I mean, in the day, everybody thought she was hot when she was cocaine Stevie. Well, and Landslides was the greatest songs of all time. By all means, yeah. When I saw her in SNL, I felt a little bad. Your dreams die.

My first thought was, oh, no. No, your dreams die. You look at her and you go, wow, you didn't get the Christie Brinkley effect, did you? No. Because Christie Brinkley is like 80 and still looks like she did in Vacation. I'm like, I'm not supposed to feel that way about 80. That is wrong. Damn, boy.

I think it was the hollowed out eyes and the tone deaf. I don't know. I'm going to get in trouble for talking bad about Stevie. I know. But it was just so. Cringy? It was cringe. Very cringe. Very cringe.

SNL has been pretty cringe for me for a while, but they did have a couple of good sketches that I, you know, we might have watched half of it, I think. We, you know, doing stand-up, and we're big fans, Laura and I both, and both have performed stand-up, and we're big fans, Laura and I both, and both have performed stand-up. So we've always loved SNL. But the past few years, not because necessarily of themes, but because the writing's terrible.

I think the news never disappoints. That's what I think. You know what? I just saw yesterday that I was a little bit surprised by is, not that I care, but, you know, people who watch Jeopardy are rabid. Like, they're not normal people. Those fans are not normal fans. They get real pissed off about things. Apparently, this Ken Jennings winner who's the host now,

people must think he sucks. So now it looks like Colin Jost of SNL may become the host of Jeopardy. Really? Yeah, he's going to host or did host Celebrity Jeopardy, but they're talking about, I think they're going to get rid of Ken Jennings and put Colin Jost in there. Or have a good little smart-ass twist to it. Maybe.

Maybe Ken Jennings doesn't. I don't know. I don't watch Jeopardy at all, so I don't know. I don't watch Wheel of Fortune. I understand it's doing very good with Ryan over there. What's his name? Ryan Seacrest, yeah. I haven't seen him.

Oh, he took over being the host now? That's been a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Colin Jost, he's got that Scarlet Joe money. He doesn't need – he's got Scarlet Joe money. So this is a – I like him. He seems like a likable dude.

Mr. Johansson, is that what you're saying? Yes, yes. I probably would identify as that. Absolutely. Yeah, no. I should identify as Mr. Laura. That's how I should identify. Okay, let's see.

Put this one on the crap or get off the pot category. A Reddit guy is wondering if he's the a-hole. For waiting 12 years to propose to his girlfriend, he popped the question, wondering if he's the a-hole for waiting 12 years to propose to his girlfriend. He popped the question, and she said no, and later admitted that she'd given up hope it would happen after two years. Now he's wondering what he should do. I don't know what the hell that is.

Oh, that's the worst story I've ever read in my life. Let me. I'm sorry, y'all. That didn't even make sense. All right. Let's move on here. This woman died for 11 minutes and claims that she saw heaven and hell. You know, normally you just see the light. Yeah.

Right. You just see the light. Well, this Kansas woman, Charlotte Holmes, shared her near-death experience, said she visited heaven and saw the edge of hell. I wonder what it looked like. It looked like a golf course at the rough. Selene County. Selene County. Why are you hating? I'm just kidding. Don't you hate on Selene? She found herself above my body, was led by angels to heaven where she experienced pure joy and reunited with younger, healthier versions of her deceased loved ones. She described the time in heaven as a place of, of course,

indescribable beauty and peace. Saw mom, dad, all that, but then said it took a dark turn when she got showed the edge of hell where she witnessed the unbearable contrast, the smell of rotting flesh and horrifying screams. That sounds terrible. Yeah. Yeah, it's rough. That sounds like hell.

Yeah, well, I guess. I don't think you can be dead for 11 minutes. I Yeah, it's rough. That sounds like hell. Yeah, well, I guess. I don't think you can be dead for 11 minutes. I think your body's done. No, I... 11? I mean, there's... I mean, your brain goes to that oxygen, so she could come back and be like, I saw this, and be like, well, it's because your brain didn't have any oxygen or blood.

It could be that. It could very well be that. Unless you drown in very cold water. That's what I understand. I did see a story where, God, I don't remember how long. It wasn't that far back, but it was a little girl, I think, or a woman, a young woman, that fell into an icy pond or something and was under there an extraordinary amount of time,

like 40 minutes to a mile. Yeah, yeah, I think I'm familiar. And no brain damage. Now, they said that because apparently it just, like, you know, cryogenic, or basically, you know, your heart slowed way down, but it kept going somehow, which is insane to think of. Yeah, you know, it's funny you bring that up. I watched a thing the other day about tardigrades.

They're, like, these little tiny microscopic, they call them, like, water bears. It was discovered. You look it up. Tardigrades are, like, everywhere. What is discovered, you look it up, tardigrades are like everywhere. What is it now? Tardigrade? Tardigrade, yeah. Okay, T-A-R-D-I-G-R-A-D-E-S Don't give me a line, T. I can barely pronounce it much less spell it. But they find out they almost, you almost can't kill them.

You can't, they don't. Space bugs. Yes, yes, they can exist in space. Oh. Well, you can't freeze them to death. You can't burn them up. You can do all this stuff. Well, they think that by unlocking this protein they have, it may lead to a development in cryogenics, like where they actually can freeze you and bring you back. Just slow you down so much. Exactly.

Exactly. That you're just in stasis. Yep. So look it up, tardigrades. It's actually a super interesting thing. That is interesting. Because it's like microscopic, and it's a little badass bug. So I have a tattoo that I hate.

And I sent a picture of it to Jason, and he goes, it looks like a tardigrade. And it does, if you know what they look like. Okay. You see it? Well, I got this. It's hard to see from here, but yeah. You got to look it up.

Okay. All right. They're actually kind of ugly cute. Yeah. They're weird looking. Yeah, yeah. It's really cool. Okay. All right. A're actually kind of ugly cute. Yeah. They're weird looking. Yeah. Really cool. Okay.

All right. A Polish cosmetics company. That does sound like the story of the punchline, doesn't it? A Polish cosmetics company, Bohobico, has launched a unique perfume inspired by the founder's childhood memories of local markets. It's called Polish Potatoes. Mmm. Mmm.

Yeah. That appeals to fat people. The $185 perfume smells of potatoes, beetroot, wheatgrass, leather, and pine. That's not perfume. That doesn't sound much like perfume. That would be like a good candle, maybe. Yeah, it sounds like you're going camping or something. It's something to keep the bugs away.

I'm going to come sniff you. You smell like taters and pine Yeah, no That's $185 for real I don't understand They do the weirdest things and charge the most for it If you make a perfume out of ass, it'd probably be a million

dollars Alright, let's see One more here Oh Yeah, that's a bad idea. A man in Florida, Joe Morton, arrested. This is Florida guy right here. Joe Morton arrested after he brandished a flamethrower at the cops. Police responded to a report of smoke in the area. When they arrived, he started yelling at them from his backyard and was armed with a flamethrower.

He refused the orders to drop the weapon, pointed it at an officer, leading to a brief standoff. They did disarm him. They used a taser. Oh, I'm getting tased Friday. Is that tomorrow? That is tomorrow. Oh, my God. Tomorrow I'm getting tased. Oh, really?

Are you terrified? Hell no. No, I'm not. My wife is. I'm not. I don't care, man. Is it going to be done here live? Yes. No, live on camera right here wife is. I'm not. I don't care, man. What's the, what is it going to be done here live? Yeah, no, live on camera right here live at the end of the show.

Okay. The folks, I think the Mayflower PD is coming in. They've got an EMT coming in who's part of the Punisher Motorcycle Club. And he's going to be here to make sure that I'm looked after. Yeah. You know, but yeah. And it's the good taser the kind they shoot not the hello kitty let me just touch you with it you don't have any like

heart problems are you sorry that's what everybody likes to ask if i do would it matter at the end because i'm not gonna know i'm not gonna know but i'm gonna be viral as hell all right bro either what are you going to wear? Undershirt or don't be a punk. Don't layer. Don't layer. Oh, no, I'm not going to layer. No, I'm taking it.

I'm absolutely going to. All right, good. Good. You know, it's not going to be any fun if I don't. I mean, I asked for this. Sure, sure. You need to accept the experience. I requested it. I want the full ride.

I want the lightning, baby. It's almost kind of like a bucket list thing. It's kind of like bungee jumping. Kind of, yeah. I bungee jumped. I'm not getting tasered. You bungee jumped? Yeah, it was great. bungee jumped. I'm not getting tasered. You bungee jumped? Yeah, it was great.

See, I will draw a line there. I did jump out of a plane. I want to do that. You've gone skydiving? I have gone skydiving. I've always wanted to go. It's on my bucket list. Really?

Yeah, like number one. Oh, really? Number one. Number one on my bucket list. But I figure if I'm not successful at it, I only get one shot. I can't tell you what my number one is, but it ain't that. successful at it i only get i can't tell you what my number one is but about that uh but anyway uh but yeah i went uh when i was probably in my 20s and went to hazen area okay uh and they used to have a lot of places there to skydive i don't know that they do anymore or not but and you know

you watch a video telling you what it's about you you know, kind of learning all that. They get you all fixed up. You get in this little plane. And then they don't just go up. You have to circle up because, you know, those planes are small, so you can't just go straight up. You have to circle. And it takes a while to get up to about 12,000 feet, which is where we went, 12,000 feet up.

And I was talking mad shit, man. I mean, mad shit, man. You know, I'm in my 20s. I'm really full of piss and bitter. I'm like, I'm ready. And I was talking mad shit, man. I mean, mad shit, man. You know, I'm in my 20s. I'm really full of piss and bitter. I'm like, I'm ready. Let's do this. Let's do this. Then they open the door.

That's what it sounds like, you know? And you look down and everything looks like a cartography map. Yeah. You can't even make anything out but green and brown grids. Nothing else. And I'm sitting there with a man strapped to my back sure less and he's like are you ready and I'm like nope nope and he said are you ready I said nope he goes yes you are and boop pushed me right out and man let me tell you

something it about five seconds later I woke up, I didn't even know I passed out. And I'll tell you what woke me up is, you know, these I'm in tandem. So he's strapped on my back. When you have a man that takes his legs and spread your legs apart from the back and your arms out like this, you will wake up. Yeah. And I did wake up and I was like, Am I being violent? Oh, I'm skydiving. Okay. We get down to the bottom, and he said, man, the camera messed up. We're up there. I'll give you a free jump if you want to do it again. I said, I got memories.

I'm good. I'm fine. I don't need to do it again. I did it. I'm there. Yeah. But bungee jumping, I'm always scared that, you know, it's going to go too low or the rope's going to break.

Sure. I'm going to come up and hit the bridge. Yeah, exactly. Well, this was the state fair, and that was one of those. Oh, no. Even worse. Even worse. But there was a pillow.

You know, the big. Oh, good. Oh, okay. Oh, this was a state fair, and that was one of those. Oh, no. Even worse. Even worse. But there was a pillow, you know, the big. Oh, good. Oh, okay. Oh, it's the short bungee, not like off a bridge somewhere. No, but I would. I would. You would? Absolutely.

Somebody help Dr. Marla bungee jump off a bridge. I know somebody's got the stuff. You've got to pay for the trip. No, I would love to do that again. Because your body tells you no, and then once you make that leap then your whole mindset changes if i can do anything yeah no i mean i did do it and i overcame the fear because i was afraid of heights and it legitimately i know it sounds crazy it did help me with that uh you passed out i did i mean you should have taken that free jump just to solidify the oh no i i woke up enough. You know, I was awake plenty of time as we rode down.

And, you know, and then they say when you hit the ground, just start running. That's where I would have trouble because I feel like I would just break a knee or something. That's what I think, too. When you see somebody landing, you're like, oh, my God, don't bend your leg backwards. That's what worries me. More than the jump, it's the landing. No, and I think that's where most people are. The jump's not the part that injures you.

It's the ground. The ground, yeah. It comes very quickly to you. Do you remember in the 80s, there was this set of book series that came out. It was crazy, unknown, unexplainable, whatever. And there's this one guy in the commercial that would say, he jumped from an airplane, bounced twice, and lived to tell about it. Do you remember that?

No, I don't. Yeah, it's a skydiver that just bounced. He bounced. I mean, bounced twice, and lived to tell about it. Do you remember that? No, I don't. Yeah, it's a skydiver that just bounced. He bounced. I mean, that's what they say. Okay, that's crazy. I didn't get the book series. All right, a lot of reasons you might need a cleaning company. If you've got an Airbnb, you own a business, you're moving out,

maybe you just don't like cleaning. Look, you want someone you can trust if you're going to invite them into your business or home to clean, and you want someone local. I tell you, you want to call Blissful Cleaning. Call Cheyenne over there. She's the daughter of the Arkansas owners, and they get it a special kind of clean, not your level.

And if you're dealing with a family law matter, by the way, it's important to choose a lawyer who gets it, who has experience. My friend, Bonnie Robertson

over at Robertson, Oswalt, Noni & Associates, they've been doing this a long time. Bonnie was my lawyer in a previous relationship and was an amazing attorney for me. She remained a friend for years, but I have a lot of respect for her. If you're dealing with custody, that's what I was dealing with. If you're dealing with divorce, if you're dealing with adoption things, they can help you out. Go call them 866-311-3815. It's 866-311-3815.

So we're talking about bucket list items. What's at the top of your bucket list, Spence? I'd love to go to space. Space. That'd thing space yeah captain kirk cried when he went yeah i know i know i get that for him it's got to be cathartic you know sure and especially his age and all he's accomplished and everything like yeah absolutely i remember in the interview afterwards he talked about how when you leave like the blue and it gets black or whatever how like that was really you know impactful and even powerful but no i'd love to go to space now i don't want to just i would love to this is we're talking fantasy bucket list things yeah but i know that some bucket list items you can obviously do but i would love to go and like participate in space yeah go to like a space station spend some time yeah exactly like just uh being like i mean you're

in a shuttle and now you're on a spaceship now yeah i know i know this is how you just check that check that right off yeah but uh you know that would be kind of like an extreme thing i do think that like space travel is going to get more readily available as the older i will so there's a when i'm captain kirk's age yeah chance i'll be able to do it uh but i think just like as far as a regular doable thing it would have to be somewhere like just the travel realm like i'd love to see that big heads at easter island okay um i saw stonehenge a few years ago yes it was sick it was sick um but i'd like to go to tokyo i think most of my bucket list would be so stonehenge uh you went to overseas i guess london right yep yep that's where that is london yep okay so we we took a vehicle down uh saw

stonehenge and then went to a town called Poole, England, and took a ferry across the channel in France and did some vacationing over there. So what were some of your observations? I've never been to Europe, so tell me about some of the things over there that were of interest. One thing that I thought was really cool is, like, say, if you're a handyman over here, you're working with fairly new stuff. You know what I'm saying? You might have to, like, add a panel box to, like, a paneling duplex or whatever. But over there, you've got things that are hundreds of years old. They try to, like, maintain that while updating it.

So you see kind of like a mix of not technology necessarily, but almost like a mix of aesthetic. Yeah. So you've got something that's really old. Super old. Yes. And then you've got to make it updated with LED lights and good switches and things like that. Yeah. So there's a lot of that that I thought was interesting.

LED lights and good switches and things like that. So there's a lot of that that I thought was interesting. You might have like a very weird, narrow, winding staircase, you know, from like the pub down to where like the restroom's at. And you can tell that it's steps that have been tread for over 100 years. And that was kind of cool. Just the age of things. We think about old things here. There's nothing here that's as old as Balmish over there.

We're only a couple hundred and some years old, right? I're they're way older culture yeah yeah um now was stonehenge impressive yes it was very impressive it was very impressive and you weren't like well it's rock part of my uh part of my uh end of life requests yeah when i die i want to be cremated i want my ashes mixed with my best dog murdoch okay and I want my family to fly to Stonehenge and sprinkle them around. Because if anything happens, I feel like that's a good chance. The Druids knew something. I got bad news for you. Nobody in your family is going to do that.

No, they're going to do that. They will do that. My mother. You better leave them a check and a ticket. My mother would not. But Marilyn would. I know she would. Okay.

All right. Well, that's good. That's a good check. Stonehenge was awesome. That was like absolutely a bucket list thing okay and it was it was impressive so um what made it was it the size of it that made it impressive you know uh yeah the you know the size is it's whatever i mean it's big it's cool it's whatever but just like you you just heard about it all your life and you finally see it and it feels yeah there's some like majesty to it okay i'll tell you the

of that trip one of the things that really stands out to me, we went to, like, Omaha Beach. We went there for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Oh, wow, yeah. But one of the things that really stands out is we went to the Louvre in Paris, and that's where the Mona Lisa's at. Yes, which is much smaller than people think. Oh, yeah.

You know, it's probably smaller than that window that's over there. Nobody can see it, but you can see it. No, it's pretty small. You walk in this room, and all these tourists are trying to get close to it and take pictures, and I took several. I had an emotional reaction to seeing it. Really? And I had no— Just because of all that time, huh?

Well, it was like you've just always heard about it, and I never really thought I'd see it. And then I was in front of it, and then it was cool. And it almost seemed like something that was like— It was like you've just always heard about it, and I never really thought I'd see it. And then I was in front of it, and then it was cool. And it almost seemed like something that was like – It was surreal. It was very surreal. It was very surreal, but it was also very real. It was very tangible at that moment. It was right there, and Leonardo da Vinci painted that.

And I'd known about how it was a commission that he never even finished and gave to the commissioner and like it's it's brought all this um it has all this lore attached to it almost like the eyes follow you and you know that type of thing all of those feelings you're describing the first time i saw a naked woman is that right well i cried a little bit a lot of majesty absolutely absolutely but i didn't i didn't like cry but there was there was a yeah a there was like an emotional response yeah and that was that sense that is cool uh that would be awesome marla what's what's top of your bucket list uh what'd you say i really want to me and jason both move to england you want to move to england hold on you want to move to England. Hold on. You want to move to England. Yeah, move. Live there.

Yeah. Okay. Cornwall. Cornwall specifically. Now, what makes that, what differentiates that from any other part of England? Because I don't know. Well, just once you start, just pictures. They're beautiful.

Okay. Like quaint little town. Yeah. So would you, would you, hold on. Just open that door because he's a goober. He can't let himself, there you go. Okay. you went over is this when you retire do you want to be a physical therapist over there do you want to do this next year do you want to do this when when would you accomplish this if you did ready to go oh you're ready now sell my house let's go okay i i can do that in about eight

seconds for you i know you can i swear I swear to God I can. I know. Yeah, I sold your friend's house. Yeah. All right, well, you're back in time. Rich, what is tops of your bucket list? Oh, I talk skydiving. I've always wanted to. That's number one.

That's got to be, I mean, number one. Really? It's been years that I've wanted to. That you just wanted to do it? It's just always sounded like something fun. I've seen people do it, and it's just, you know, hey. What's holding you back? Just commitment, I've seen people do it, and it's just, you know, hey. What's holding you back? Just commitment, I guess, really.

Oh, yeah? I mean, really, like, finding a place, one, to do it. I know, like. It's harder to find a place now than it used to be. Yeah. Clarksville? Where? Clarksville.

Maybe, yeah, probably. I'm sure there are some, but I know that there used to be a bunch. I talked to a guy not long ago about it, and he said a lot of those smaller schools kind of dried up because it became less popular to skydive. Really? Yeah, I don't know why it's become less popular. Maybe people are just like, eh, I'm good.

You know, I don't know. What are the costs associated with it? Well, so for my son's 30th birthday, he wanted to do it. It was $300. Okay, first of all that rich come on okay first of all uh we don't we're not gonna have a lion on this show okay i'm just gonna let you know right now you don't have a 30 year old son that's not even true look at marla and see if you met. It's not even possibly true. So yeah, you were talking a minute ago,

we were talking about space. Did you ever see, I think it's called Stars on Mars, a reality, it was like a celebrity reality show where, you know, they take, of course, all these entitled, you know, celebrities and they put them in environments that aren't suitable. But this show, and I think it's on netflix is where i'm not sure uh which one it's on to be i could be wrong it's on one of the streamers though but they spent i don't know how much on this set because they they converted somewhere to look like mars okay and i assume maybe it was arizona or australia i don't know where it was, something like that. New Zealand maybe, but it was a lot of money. Okay. But William Shatner was the host. Really? No, I never saw this, never heard of it. Yeah. It came out maybe a couple of years ago. We just watched it recently.

Actually, it was really good. Okay. Shockingly, if you like reality shows and that kind of thing, it was really good, but I was just surprised it was like damn man william shatner is in his 90s or in late 80s and he is still out there captain kirk and at hosting shows now i i'm sure they pre-recorded most of his stuff because anytime you work with william shatner you have to ask yourself will he make production will he make it to the end yeah uh he's i think he's like 93 or 94 yeah i'm not mistaken he's he's up there i watched him on a podcast recently it's called the decon chamber with a couple guys that was in a star trek show okay star trek enterprise yeah they're they're

honestly nice guys but terrible interviewers and uh bill shatner kind of he's a strong and dominant personality yes he was only going to talk about what he wanted to talk about but he's so polished not like not like refined and polished but just kind of been in the media game yeah he He's a strong and dominant personality. Yes, they're very. He was only going to talk about what he wanted to talk about, but he's so polished. Not like refined and polished, but just kind of been in the media game. Yeah, he's just savvy. He's very savvy. Yeah, he could kind of just, they'd ask him a question, he'd answer what he wanted to, you know.

But he's still got his wits about him, man. No, he's super sharp. I mean, he does so many things. Not very good albums, but he does. I mean, he's been doing that since the 70s, the 60s even. He apparently owns a bunch of horses and he loves to ride his horses. That's his main thing. I just looked it up. He's 93. 93. Yeah. It's wild to believe that. Speaking of actors, a couple of things here that you might want to know. For example, over in England right now, where you'd like to be, dr murphy uh entertainment memorabilia

auctioneer uh prop store is their name they're offering 350 or a little bit more than that music items that were used by or once belonged to megastars now this uh november 15th it'll be a four-day event uh it'll also sell film and television props and costumes. So some of the highlights from it include a Jimi Hendrix master tape. That would be kind of a cool thing to have, featuring four unreleased demo recordings in a box which he wrote their title on. So if you're a huge Hendrix fan, that'd be awesome to have. Do you release them and make money?

Do you own them then? You do own them, so I guess, I don't know. That's a very good question. I mean, they're unreleased, so I would think maybe if you bought them, you should be able to release them, but I don't know. They're probably not selling the rights to them. Yeah, you might be right. Maybe they're just selling the box and the tape.

If they're unreleased, then they've never been heard and nobody owns them. I don't know. right. Maybe they're just selling the box and the tape. Yeah, you're probably right. They've never been heard. Nobody owns them. I don't know. That's a good question, though. It's still a super awesome thing to have. Yeah, no, definitely. The framed Beat It lyrics written by Jackson will go under the hammer, as will some of his jackets. A black

and gold military-style jacket, estimated value $200,000 to $400,000. His red Thriller rehearsal jacket comes complete with multiple famous signatures, not only signed by Michael, but on the back it's signed by John Landis, who directed the Thriller video, his wife Debra, who designed the jacket, and some other people too, I guess, but that's pretty cool. Also, 15 guitars previously owned by Noel Gallagher in what the prop store says the largest collection of Oasis guitars to come to auction includes his first

while with the band, it's a Cream Hauner JT60, which is worth $25,000 to $50,000, they say. If you had to own a movie prop, if there were $25,000 to $50,000, they say. If you had to own a movie prop, if there were a movie prop that you could own, what might it be? Anything from I'm trying to think of the name of it right now. I just had it on my head

and then it just... Movie prop. Robocop's suit. With that Auto 9 gun. I'd love to have that manne prop. Robocop's suit. Oh, that'd be a dope one. With that auto-nine gun. Yeah. I'd love to have that mannequined up in my living room. Yeah. Marilyn would love it.

Okay, okay. Can I have Wonder Woman's costume? Absolutely. Which one? Linda Carter. Okay. The OG Wonder Woman. Yeah, but she don't hold a candle.

Oh, Gal Gadot is a more attractive Wonder Woman. Linda Carter paved her way. Linda Carter did open those doors. 100%. That and The Hulk were probably, in those days, the most popular. Oh, gosh. I mean, those were superhero TV shows. They were terrible, but they were still great.

You know, I watched like three episodes of The Incredible Hulk. I'm a Bill Bixby and a Lou Ferrigno fan. Okay, okay. And we watched one of those kids obviously it was reruns then never watched the new but it was it's hokey but like it's like you're also watching yeah it is and that music that plays at the end when he's all hitchhiking it's like it's all sad yes i think it's the name of the song is something real sad i don't remember what it is yeah and i don't know the backstory behind it, but, like, it seems like there was, like, a major effort to keep it, like,

almost like it's not bright, it's not colorful, it's not silly. There's no comedy, really. No. I mean, like, it's about this dude that wanders from town. He always, he hitchhikes into a town and gets a job as a doctor. He always, like, finds, like, a really good, you know, position. The economy must have been great, you know. Yeah, basically, it's like like in the way they present it,

it's like the worst disease. It's like he's got a cancer, basically, and he's living with it. Yes, yes. I mean, it's like that. What about yourself? Did you come back to it? Yeah, I've thought of it now. The Boondock Saints.

What would you want? Anything. Anything. Anything. Anything from the movie The Boondock. Anything. You know, a lot of people love that movie. I do not. Dude, I don't either. I was about to ask you. I think it's crap. Explain to them. Anything. Anything. Anything from the movie The Boondock. Anything. You know, a lot of people love that movie. I do not.

Dude, I don't either. I was about to ask Rich. I think it's crap. Explain to me the draw. Share with me your passion for Boondock Saints. It's just there, man. I fell in love with it from the first time I watched it. Okay.

It's the story, the guys, you know, everything. I mean, St. Patrick's Day in there. People are passionate about it. They love that movie, yes. I think it's the undertone of these guys are, you know, going and taking care of evil in the world and everything like that in ways that, you know, probably maybe somewhat. Vigilante.

Right. Like you kind of watch it and just wish, you know, damn, if I could do something, I guess that's what I would do. Okay. Okay. Yeah. If I had to have one movie prop, I'd want a full-size, life-size The Alien alien from the aliens.

Oh, the xenomorph? Yes. That would be sick. Yeah, that to me is the greatest movie monster ever made. Yes, designed by H.R. Giger. Really? I did not know that. Yeah, I remember when I saw it, nothing had ever frightened me as a creature until I saw that.

And I was like, yeah, if I saw that in close quarters, you know, I'm toast. I'm going to turn into a little girl with no problem. Yeah. Now, the first Alien was good, but it was more of the suspense horror type. Sure, haunted house movie on a spaceship. But the second one, that's still one of the greatest action movies I've ever seen in my life. James Cameron, he did something very unique in that he took a concept that wasn't his, made it better. Yes.

And sequels are hard, but then also you look at Terminator, which was a great idea. T2, way better than T1. T2 is one of the greatest sequels and greatest movies of all time. I love Terminator 2. I would agree with that, actually, 100%. Look, Cameron may be a dick, but he was a great visionary and director. Absolutely. Yes, I respect that.

Now, are you a fan of the Avatar movies or no? You know, I'm not. I'm not. You know, what I think is, I don't think there's no meat there for me to enjoy. I got you. I think that when the first one came out, it was like, okay. And then, like, the span of time. And you had, oh, well, they're going to do four, five, six, whatever.

Yeah. And to me, it almost. It kind of lost the mojo i just lost yeah there's no mojo in it for me i always felt like avatar really got a lot of its popularity from the whole like 3d thing that came out and then just kind of went away with it yeah yeah you know i think it you know to me visually was what made Avatar so amazing. The visuals on it were, at that time, beyond spectacular. The story is decent, but it's like any Disney story, really. Right.

There's so much CGI now. Back then, it was like, wow, that's really well done. Now you've seen a lot of stuff that's really well done. You get to a point where it's like you're watching just animation. I will say this. They have a new Aliens movie, Alien Romulus. Have you seen it? No, you get to a point where, like, it's like you're watching just animation. I will say this. They have a new Aliens movie, Alien Romulus. Have you seen it? No, I wanted to.

I have not seen it. You know, it's worth seeing. Okay. It's worth seeing. The end really, I don't like at all. But here's what I do like. Here's what I will say about it. I don't like at all, but here's what I do like.

Here's what I will say about it. They went to great lengths to maintain set continuity from all the other Alien movies. And they did a spectacular job, and they limited the CGI. Okay. Well, where are you at? Did you watch the Prometheus, those movies that are tie-in? Yeah, they're all right. I mean, they're okay.

They're all closer to alien than aliens. I got you. To me. And that's, you know, I've never enjoyed long-winded, boring sci-fi. I like action sci-fi. I need shooting. I need killing. I need things like that going on.

You're chasing, a lot of chasing. So you're not a Star Trek fan at all? Love Star Trek. Do you really? Okay. That would be, I would consider that more slow burn sci-fi. mean there's some special the series or the the movies i mean in any of it i suppose now the movies the the jj abrams are fantastic yes they are those are action-packed but like the series you watching the series oh yeah yeah no i as a kid look i i was a super nerd for star trek i

probably hadn't talked about this a lot i was a super nerd had a star trek pen pal okay cool i was 13 she was like 28. I don't know what was going on there. I look back at that and I'm like, that seems weird. That does. 28-year-old ladies writing me letters in Star Trek character. Oh, in character? That's odd.

But in defense of what fandom used to be versus the availability of fandom. Yeah, that's true. I loved Star Trek. I mean, it was probably, as a kid, one of my all-time favorites. So that and Star Wars both. Original series or next-gen? No, original series.

No, nothing. I mean, I'm sure they're all great after that. Sure. But nothing to me will surpass the camp classic. Okay, sure. I mean, look, I think a couple days ago we were saying Star Trek probably, nearly everything in it has been made now. I mean, almost.

Well, sure. There's a lot of tech that's. And so it's influential in ways that a lot of things, you know, weren't. Sure, sure. You know, I was talking about Star Trek and Star Wars. I'm not a Star Wars person. I don't have a problem with it. I just don't.

And if you talk about people that talk to people who like it. Oh, no, they're passionate. They are passionate, but they don't like any of the new stuff which is odd because the new star trek stuff is fantastic oh new star trek okay yeah the uh i think what star trek with the biggest problem is is there's nothing more visually exciting than a lightsaber battle oh star wars has that aesthetic it's true they have that aesthetic that is fun it's action-packed yeah like trek does not have that no but trek has captain kirk who's a bad it's but you know in fairness star wars has han solo and they're they're kind of on par swash

bucklers yeah you know they're kind of on par there yeah i don't disagree with that now i love i remember i saw and i'm dating myself but i saw star wars in 1977 at the drive-in theater i was a kid uh seven years old my aunt took me there and it was the greatest thing in my life I'd ever seen at that time. And I do like the old Star Wars movies. The new ones, not so much. I don't love them. The last one was a straight remake. Two or three of them have been straight remakes, and I guess that's fine.

But they're just Disneyed out to me now. Yeah, yeah. I watched Rogue One. That's the last one. Was it any good? any good i enjoyed it i mean it was like whatever i like i would not you know i would say it turned it converted me into a fan but it was an enjoyable movie yeah yeah i mean and i that's probably fair to say they're enjoyable it's just not groundbreaking it's like you know the first matrix is amazing and the second the second ones are And the second and third, they're good. They're good sci-fi, but they're not the first one.

I got you. Well, if I were to give a recommendation to you, if you have Paramount Plus, Star Trek Strange New Worlds is a newer show. It's third season's about to come out. It's very digestible. There's like maybe 10 or 11 episodes per season. Two seasons already out. It's got a fantastic captain, a great crew. It's visually stunning. It's fun. It's action-packed. You'll

dig it. All right. All right. Hey, if you are in need of a moving company, you're going to move, you want to get with Metro Moving.

He's a friend of mine. He's local, and he can help you really get good mortgage rates.

This couple qualified for that, and Josh helped them get it done, and that's pretty awesome to be able to get a home and move in for 500 bucks. I mean, he does conventional FHA, RD loans, VA, and no appraisal fee or underwriting fees on the VA Josh, 351-2579, 351-2579. Now, Marla, when you were a kid, what's the first big-time movie you remember going to see? Grease. Grease, really?

John Travolta. Now, are you still a Grease fan? Did you continue to go with the Grease thing? Because a lot of people love that musical. I mean, I do love musicals now. I don't know if I'm a massive Gre I mean, I do love musicals now. I don't know if I'm a massive Grease fan, but I respect what it did.

No, no, I get it. And people who love musicals, I do understand why I don't like them. Matter of fact, I saw someone at the headline of an article where it was trying to break down why wasn't Joker 2 successful. And I'm like, well, A, you had almost no marketing campaign, and B, you hid the fact it was a musical, and people figured it out before they got there. I had no clue it was a musical, and I thought, why

would they do that to that movie? That seriously makes no sense. I remember when they announced it was going to exist, Todd Phillips did say it's going to be a musical. Yeah. Yeah, because I remember the reaction being like, you know. I i mean and i'm not saying you can't i'm saying but why would you yeah i mean it doesn't make sense to me no it

doesn't make sense i i saw it did not did y'all watch the movie i haven't seen the second one or the first no i haven't okay okay it's it's it's i did not enjoy it okay i almost feel like it's going to be one of those movies that like like, will find an audience, you know? Yeah. With no spoilers for those of you who haven't watched it and plan to. I don't think anybody who hadn't watched it at this point plans to. No. I mean, no. If I accidentally saw it, I'd be disappointed.

The thing to keep in mind is, like, Arthur Fleck was never canonically a Joker, the Joker, whatever. Oh, right. That's true. It's not the same story. So the first movie is about Arthur Fle Joker, the Joker, whatever. Oh, right. That's true. It's not the same story. So the first movie is about Arthur Flick becoming the Joker, and the second movie is about the Joker becoming Arthur Flick. Oh, okay.

So if you watch it through that lens, which I did not, but if you watch it through that lens, you may find more enjoyment in it. Okay. And, you know, Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga are both good. Well, they're good. I mean, I just, I don't understand for me. I mean, look, comic books to me are about badasses, action, excitement, adventure. It's not the time to sing a song.

Well, it's typically, comic books are described a lot, same as pro wrestling it's a male power fantasies you know what i'm saying so when you've got these superheroes that sounds very psychological male power it is but it's it's i like that it's these larger than life characters that do exciting things and always come out on top you know obviously the joker was not even ever intended to be like an anti-hero Right. This movie takes place in its complete own universe. It does. And I appreciate what you're saying.

The first one excelled, and it did. I think everyone was like, damn, this thing is – It was crazy. Think about the Joker as a character, okay? Right. So not as a character like a character in comics or in movies, but like is a written fictional character. I don't know, and I could be wrong.

I'm not some cinephile, but, you know, you had Heath Ledger win the Academy Award for playing the Joker. You had Joaquin Phoenix play the Joker. Jack Nicholson got critical acclaim playing it. Yes. That's one of those roles that there's so much meat on the bone to work with for a talented actor, and it's been – Done many times.

Well, done many times, but many times but very well yeah and all different and i think that's i think that speaks a lot to how powerful did you like uh the what was it jared leto did he the one that played it more recently you know i did not i did not care for jerry leto no no i you know i don't mind like the aesthetic of the tattoos and the teeth and all that stuff i don't think that there was a lot a lot there to work with. I think that more gangster, but more urban gangster instead of mafia gangster, I think that's a unique direction that that character could go in and do well. I just don't think they did that well. Is Heath Ledger the best Joker of all time?

I don't think so. No? I don't think so, no. Who do you think the best is? My personal opinion, and you were asking Marla what the movie that she saw that she saw the big yeah for me that answer would be batman 89 oh we're going to see that and that yeah that was fantastic to me i mean i was all in for that batman man that was a dope ass batman so like i think jack nicholson has a special place in my heart i get that i get that um and that that's where that's where i would be with him for sure sure. That movie, look, as a matter of fact, I'll still say I think that Michael Keaton is the best Bruce Wayne to this day.

I agree. Sure. Yeah. He just has a certain, I don't know what the swag is, why he's got it, how he got it, what it's about. Same swag as he had in Beetlejuice. Sure, sure. The introduction to Bruce Wayne in the first Batman 89 when Knox and Vicki Vale are in his room. It's got all the armor in it.

Yes. And they're looking at it like, oh, are you going to do this? And he says, oh, it's Japanese. He's like, how do you know? He's like, because I bought it in Japan. Yeah, right, right. He's like, well, you're punk because I'm a millionaire

and I bought it in Japan. It's mine. He's like, oh, you're Bruce Wayne, which is odd that this reporter would know who Bruce Wayne is in the city. But he was fantastic. Michael Keaton has a swagger. Look, there's a reason now

in the most recent Flash movie because, you know, that guy, I'm trying to remember the actor's name, but he's had a lot of issues, you know. But I noticed on wherever I was looking at it, whatever service it was, that now Michael Keaton is the main figure on the front of it. But he was the best part of that movie, honestly.

I mean, people seeing Michael Keaton come back as Batman, they were like, this is amazing, you know. There's a lot of nostalgia to it. Sure, sure. I hate that I've not watched it. I'm almost embarrassed that I haven't. Yeah, there's so much negativity about it. And I understand why.

It's hard to get in the movie theater, so I wait for things to come out on streaming, and then they pass me by. The first one that Flash was in, Justice League or whatever, he was very Ezra, what's his name, Ezra Miller? Ezra Miller, yeah. Very highly entertaining.

Didn't hit the same note to me. I don't know where he came from. I didn't watch, and I don't know any of his past movies up into that or TV shows, but he's such a troubled individual yeah you know and he seems to be kind of like just a pest you don't know who he is no i think he's already been canceled out but uh but yeah so what was the first big movie you remember as a kid as a kid yeah oh gosh uh did the theater to see not not on DVD. Yeah, I got to think back. Or video or TV.

I think it was like Aladdin. Aladdin or Lion King. Like Aladdin with Robin Williams. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The good Aladdin. Not the Will Smith. No, not the new Will Smith one.

But yeah. Those movies were huge. Oh, yeah. Those movies became cultural phenomenons. I saw, my brother and I, we went and saw Blair Witch Project. Oh, yeah. In my mind, it was like standing room only in the theater. It's like they sold more tickets than seats. I think it was. became cultural phenomenon um i saw my brother and i went and saw blair witch project oh yeah in my mind it was like standing room only in the theater it's like they sold more tickets it was crazy and people were terrified oh i mean like as my age at the time i was i was blown away by it but i

mean that shocked people like people were that movie really did scare people that found footage aspect it did you know I know it sounds weird. I watched it by myself at home, and it scared me. Yeah. But I do also understand what you're saying, which is the level of disappointment a lot of people have because you never really, you know, spoiler alert to this 30-year-old movie, you never really see anything. You know, it's just all psychological.

And so it was a real interesting thing. But it did kind of open. That was the found footage door that opened up because they made that for $100,000 on their credit cards. Crazy. And sold it for $1 million to the production company who then made $100 million, I think, on it. Have you ever seen a movie that totally disappointed you? Many of them. Like in the theater that you're excited about,

it was hyped up, and it just totally did not connect. Something that I was really disappointed in. Let me think. Yeah, because there's going to be something. Yeah, to be honest with you, Return of the Jedi. Okay, okay. When they got to the Ewoks. Okay.

And I know that probably to people sounds dumb but i was like this is the goofiest muppet shit i've ever seen in my life why is it in the middle of my star i need to see hands being cut off i want lightsaber about i want han solo i want him kissing his sister whatever is going on here give me that but don't give me some muppet thing going on i mean where's kermit and miss piggy yeah that Yeah, that's a huge complaint. People hate the Ewoks. Yeah. Yeah. I'm even fine with, what was the weird talking one that later came? George R.R. Binks. George R.R. Binks.

I didn't even care about him. Yeah, sure. He was fine. But not the Ewoks. Okay. Every time I see him, I'm like, I can't even watch it. I got to go past it. Okay.

You know? What about you? Is there a movie that disappointed you like that? You know, this is going to sound kind of dumb, because it wasn't like it was a huge movie. It was just a movie that came with it. But one of the only movies I've ever walked out of was Ali. Oh, really? Yeah.

I've never watched it. I just thought that it was just bad all the way around. Really? The acting, everything. It was just disappointing. And I've walked out of very few movies. Yeah, I don't. Very few movies.

I'm trying to remember. I enjoy some aspects of bad movies like for example i love starship troopers sure and it's trash it's absolute trash there's there's not one cgi thing that's great there's but it's it's good trash sure you know so there there are some bad movies that are very likable well paul verhoeven directed starship troopers did he okay he did robocop and total recall you know it makes sense now it's got that camp that 80s camp there's a there's like a that makes sense to it yeah i didn't know that okay yeah i i do like that a lot um i i thought that

but now i haven't watched all the sequels or anything i don't know if anybody has yeah probably not probably not to be honest yeah they kind of of get more of like the Roger Corman. Yeah. Really like cheap, silly. Yeah, really over the top. Yeah, terrible acting. But I was surprised, you know, because the cast of the first one was really, for a B movie, had a good cast. Sure.

Doogie Howser was in it. Neil Patrick Harris. Yep, he was. I like him. I think he's a very good actor. Sure. And Stas Schiffer? Yes.

Who else is in that? Tim Allen? Jake Busey. Casper Van Diem. Jake Busey. I like him. I think he's a very good actor. Jack Van Stash? Yes. Jake Casper Van Diem? Jake Busey? Jake Busey's in it. Denise Richards when she was a very, very attractive lady. Michael Ironside? Oh, Michael Ironside. Yeah, he's in it. It's basically about space Nazis. The people that you're supposed to be rooting for are actually the bad guys in it.

They're gung-ho to go kill these aliens. There's really no point to it other than they want to yeah so it's it's uh paul verhoeven is a super interesting guy okay there's a robocop documentary called robodoc where they interview him and he is animated he is fun he is a fantastic interview because he's he's kind of like this european madman okay he injects like what he perceives to be america into the movies he makes. Okay. Like bombastic and big explosions and big action.

And it's the way he perceives American culture. Okay. Yeah, yeah. All right. That's interesting. Let's do something a little different here. These shows here just keep getting better and better. Now, exactly how much pot did you smoke?

Patrick. And the people. Hey, listen. Do you vape? Or maybe you're a connoisseur of the hippie lettuce. You're looking for the dopest glassware that you can get at the best price in town. Yeah, of course you are. You want that good stuff.

You want the best selection of vape flavors and brands. Stop hitting up the crappy gas stations. Stop going to places like that. Go to Crazy J's in Conway. Look, they've got every kind of vape. You can imagine all the flavors you want, different types. They've got all the glassware that you could put your medically induced coma self in with. And listen, Crazy J's in Conway is 2625 Donaghy Avenue.

It's suite 110. So get over there and check them out and get your vape on. Let's do this, I think. Let me pause that. This guy singing this intro for me, his name is Luke Shoemaker. He's out of Nashville. He originally was from here, but now he's part of a band called Vantage Ruins. They will be here tomorrow to interview and do a live acoustic performance right here in our studio.

Nice. Right where Spencer is right now. I'm warming it up. Yeah, he's warming it up yeah yeah he's warming it up for him uh but uh amazing amazing vocalist and uh appreciate them coming in let's get to it because this shit ain't funny uh doctors at a hospital in New Delhi India found a live cockroach in the small intestine of a patient complaining of stomach ache and indigestion. That seems like a real nightmare trip right there. 23-year-old man came into the hospital complaining about stomach problems

he'd been experiencing for three days. Severe abdominal pain, difficulty digesting. He had consumed street food at a night market a few days prior and thinks that's where it got in there. Procedure, they did the upper GI endoscopy, and that's where they found a live cockroach just chilling out in his intestines. So for the last two, three days, the patient was suffering. During a routine inspection, we incidentally spotted the cockroach. They decided to remove it using an endoscope with two channels, one for air and water infusion, the other for suction.

They think it crawled down his throat when he was sleeping. When he was sleeping. Wow, that's, man. That's crazy. How did your stomach acid not kill you? That's exactly what I was thinking, right? That's what I wonder. I mean, you know, when they say cockroaches

might be the only thing to survive a nuclear war, they might be. Well, and why do they go to all the trouble to, I guess if they're already getting the endoscopy, they're in there, they could do something with it, but it seems like they're setting it past it. It can't hang out that long. I mean, I don't know why they didn't just,

yeah, smush it, whatever, let it get it run over by a turd, something. I mean, eventually it's going to encounter something it can't deal with. Three days. How slow is his motility that he hasn't gotten rid of it yet? Yeah. Oh, that's a good point. Yeah. No, he's not digesting very well, is he? No.

Motility. I love that word. But what about the air? How did they say how big the roach is? How do you not feel that go down your throat? Even while you're sleeping, just like, you know, just. I've always heard that the average person swallows like three spiders a year. Myth. It can't be true.

It's a myth. They've disproved the what do they call those guys? The myth busters? Yeah, they disproved that one. I don't remember how. You don't like spiders? I don't mind them. I just don't want them to crawl down your throat. Home in your belly? I don't mind them. I just don't want them to crawl down your throat.

Like comb in your belly? I feel the same way. No, I don't think anybody really wants that that I know of. No, that's pretty creepy. I can't think of the last time I woke up and was like, I hope a bug just crawls down into my stomach. No, but if you watch Survivor, they'll eat them like crazy over there. Like they eat nothing, man.

You get hungry enough. You get hungry enough, you start eating a cricket. All of a sudden that cricket looks real good to you yeah sometimes you just buy them on the streets in china and eat them yeah you got a stick with five scorpions yeah now you you ate the scorpion on a stick or whatever it was called poisonous scorpion i mean that's how they venomous yeah venomous i mean they deep fry them yeah not when you fry them yeah but don't they gotta like cut off the tail or like get all that out The tail was still on there. They may cut the stinger off. I don't know. It was still

on there. Was it? Okay. I got pictures somewhere. Yeah, and I don't know why you could ingest it that way. Maybe if you're cooking it, it probably cooks out the oxygen. It wasn't poison. It wasn't like the big black ones. It was the little small tan ones. Did you know that in scorpions, the more

dangerous the smaller they are, the more dangerous they are? I saw that. Yeah, that's very true. It's not the big ones that are dangerous. It's the little ones. Yeah. All right. A man from Birmingham.

Let me go back. I want to set this up. Listen to me. You may be at work. You may be kind of listening in the background. Stop. Whatever you're doing, stop. Look at me. You want to hear this. A man from Birmingham who was born with three penises.

Let me just stop again. I just said a man was born with three peni. I assume that's the plural of peni. Only the second person To have ever Had this strange deformity Is that a deformity or a blessing? I don't know It depends on where they're located It depends on who makes a career out of it You see someone with a third nipple

It's never right next to the other It's always around the ribs Or like a collarbone That would be a weird place to have it, wouldn't it? Yeah, you'd have trouble with your dress shirts every time it rubbed your... Yeah, no, that'd be bad. Okay, so just one of the three were functional. Oh, there's a disappointment right there.

You may as well have four balls then. He's got two hanging around on the side and one that works. That's sad, really. What? It's like a Hydra with only one working head. So did, okay, so did he eat his, was he a part of triplets, and did he eat his other twins? Well, I don't know.

The rare case known as triphalia, the other two were attached within the skin of the scrote boat. Okay. The 78-year-old's condition was only discovered after he donated his body to science on his death. So he never knew he had three penises? No. How sad.

What a sad, sad life. This man had three penises. I never knew it. Do you know the glory he could have had in life? It sounds like there wasn't a lot of glory in these two like weird ones that were in his scrotum. It's the only dude who can say, yeah, I got a crowd in my pants.

Do you know that? Like at some point he was like aware of something's going on. He's like, I'm not checking it out. I don't, why is my sack so heavy? That's what I'm saying. Why?

It's strange, man. Three peanut. That is intense, man. Yeah. I don't even know how that, uh,

that probably would have been probably, even if he knew, it probably wouldn't have been bra been bragging right he would have had to like checked himself out at some point and been like something's going on something doesn't feel right you think so yeah like you understand the occupancy of your equipment and it would have had to have felt something's going on the occupancy of your equipment i don, I don't know. No, no, I mean, that's fair. It's part of the day. It's fair. You know, you understand the land. I get that because I've told the story that when I was telling the story the other day, you know, I cut the end of my finger in a saw.

Okay. And so my hand was unusable because, you know. Off, let me see. No, no, it grew back from the top. Yeah, it did. Oh, yeah, in Illinois. It was cut down to about here. Jeez. Yeah, it me see. No, no, it grew back from the top. Yeah, it did. It was cut down to about here. Yeah, it grew back. It's crazy, isn't it? But anyway, I know, I told when the doctor said it would grow back, I'm like, you're insane, man. I'm not a lizard, stop it. He said, no, if it's above the first knuckle, it will, and it did. But you can't use

it. And I'm going to tell you something, if you've never experienced this, you don't understand what I'm saying. Do you know how foreign and weird it feels for your offhand to try to clean you up back there? Sure. Oh, no. It's like an alien experience. It doesn't know the terrain. It doesn't know the turf. It doesn't know the territory. It's not supposed to be there.

It doesn't feel right. And it's kind of violating, to be honest. Yeah. Your joints don't work that way your your offhand can't do i mean i know there's people that are ambidextrous right like that that means they could like write or maybe throw a baseball yeah they're trying to like take care of themselves yeah hygienic things there's no way that they're that good at it now i will tell you this spencer is somebody who has a he got off a line one time.

We were talking on the show that I don't longer speak of, but anyway, one of the, it's stuck in my head for so long, which we were talking about, you know, how you take care of your business in the bathroom. And he said, I like to sweep mop, sweep. Cause he was talking about talking about the, the, you know, using the wipes. Yeah. The wipes. Yeah. Sweet, sweep. That's it. I'm talking about the, you know, using the wipes. Yeah, the wipes. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, sweep, mop, sweep. And I never thought about it like that, but it made me laugh so hard. Yeah, now people, everybody's getting on the bidet action. Yeah, yeah, they are. You know, we bought one for our new remodel. Yeah. Okay. I've not installed it yet.

Oh, you haven't. So you can't speak to it. But, yeah, it had a lot of high ratings on Amazon. Yeah. How do they? I'd love to read those comments. In other countries. Really gets up in there. Well, in other countries, I have a friend named Godfrey Manguiza,

and he's from, I think, I don't know where he's from. I don't want to speculate where he's from originally, but he lives in Canada now. Okay. And he talks about how when he moved to North America, he said that your butt cleaning game is third world compared to other countries. Well, now, in India, they poop in the streets sometimes. So it's not quite that third world. Well, you know, not quite that third world.

Okay. But, like, the toilet paper stuff has bleached chemicals, and there's rectal cancers associated with those products. Oh, yeah? Okay. I hope Charmin's not a sponsor, but. No, they're not. Not yet.

They're not a sponsor. We've not tried it. I'm actually a little bit nervous. See, that's, I mean, you know, my wife, she had one where she used to work and she would come home and swear, you know, so much better. And I know people say that, but it makes me a little nervous too. My daughter has one. She loves it.

Really? I'm not trying to get gross about this, but you spray water. You've got to check it. You've still got to dry it with something. You better check it. You don't want to pull your pants up and have just people wet. No. Oh, my God.

What are you talking about? There seems to be additional maintenance associated with it that I'm not prepared for. No, you've got to check it. I used to tell the story in stand-up. My youngest son, this is embarrassing too, and I'm sure, you know, get over yourself. But when he was probably, I don't know, six, seven? Yeah. And I walked in the bathroom, and he had just left.

I saw him leave. And I look in the commode, and he's not flushed. And that wasn't the alarming part, that he didn't flush. Lots of kids forget to flush. I caught him telling, come here, come here. Look right here. Oh, I'm sorry. I'll flush it.

Uh-uh. No, no, no. That's not the problem. Where's the paper? Where's the paperwork, son? Oh, it was a clean sweep. No, a bullshit. Uh-uh.

No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on. Uh-uh. A bullshit? A bullshit? No, I said you got to have at least one square with a lipstick print to make sure that you are good.

You cannot call it a clean sweep if you hadn't tested it. You've got to test it. So, yeah, no, I agree with you 100%. That's my nervousness about a bidet. Is it like the nozzle you put on a hose so it's real high pressure? And it just, you know, can you move it around? I mean, how does that work? I don't know.

Hers just kind of, I haven't used hers, but it comes out and it, like, hooks up. And that's why it's called a spray, but she swears by it. I don't know how. Surely you have to dry yours. I'm sure that most people's bodies are roughly the same. Yeah, I would think. Do you have to aim it? That's what I don't know.

I don't really know. Do you think you can adjust how far it comes out? Okay. I know that everybody who has one starts treating everybody else like they're second tier citizens then yeah have you ever seen the squatty potty the little stool yes yeah do you use it oh yes do you now have one it's hard for me to go to the bathroom with my feet on the ground really yes it's that good to you it is it's really i'd highly recommend it there's something a lot of people do use that man i mean, that is not an uncommon thing to hear at all.

Matter of fact, Rickshaw Mike, Mike Woodall made me one many years ago, and we had it for a long time. I don't know what happened to it, but we did. What did he make it out of? Well, wood. It's a squatty potty, you know, just to put your feet up or whatever. Sure. What was yours made of, like gold?

No, plastic. Something you can clean piss off of. Why would you pee on it? Well, because it scoots up under your toilet. Okay. Slightly, but if you, you know, you have a... Hit the toilet. Try hitting the target, man.

All I'm saying is that not every... Just out of control? Not every urination is spot on dead perfect. Y'all have just opened my mind up to a whole new way of pooping now. Well, I think that came out of India or somewhere. But basically, it really does work because it lines you up the right way. I mean, if you think about, I know you don't want to think about it, think about a dog when they arch.

Basically, they're putting that thing straight up in the air, so it's up and down, and it makes it just much—you're not pushing. You're taking about two turns out of the road. Yeah, you're clearing the obstruction. It was like all the bathrooms in China, most of them, they did have western toilets, were holes. What do you mean, holes? Just a hole in the floor. Just a hole in the floor.

You squat over it. Wait, that's what they call a western toilet? No, no, no. Ours is a western toilet. Ours is a western. Like our hotel had a western toilet. Okay. So you didn't have to squat.

But like if there was a restaurant I was in and you've got like a handlebar with, you know, sticking up from the ground where you squat down. Okay, okay. And just pee or whatever. So are there stalls? No. And as a matter of fact. So in other words, anybody could be next to you holding a bar too

and y'all are doing soft serve at the same time. I just peed. I'd waited to go poo elsewhere. Yeah, I probably would too. That's very mortifying. I was peeing in a restaurant and the door just opens up and everybody's just looking at you and you're like, hey. It would actually be kind of fun to poop, Nick, to somebody.

Like out of country, in China. You're never going to see these people. You're almost like an exhibitionist. You're like, all right, let's get down. Let me show you American poop. And they don't have toilet paper, so you've got to take your own. So it was just. Hold on.

Did they use a bidet there? What do they use? They squat. No, no, no, no, no no for number two clean a puddle you're the way you're squatted kind of like the squatty potty it comes out clean allegedly allegedly good call good call i would think maybe there's some no i'm just trying to imagine now if you're not – nobody's using anything. There's got to be somebody that's – I mean, I –

What happens when you spray the tank? I mean, maybe they just eat differently and it doesn't happen that way. Scorpions, they just come out. Oh, yeah. They eat the scorpions. That's what it is. Scorpions clean all that up for you. Spray the tank.

You never sprayed the tank? Come on, man. You know what I'm talking about. Well, you could say that. Yeah, something not solid. Spray the tank. Yeah. I might do it later.

Are you charging people to watch a video or what? No, I was just saying. Okay. This is just a fascinating topic. Yeah, poop. It kind of is. to switch gears a little bit i watched a youtube video the other day thank you and i would it's been it's been on my brain ever since and i want to talk to y'all about this okay have you ever heard of this phenomenon

it's called bug chasing are you familiar with chasing chasing i'm afraid to ask at this point, but let's jump down this rabbit hole. I'm just thinking of taking a mason jar and finding fireflies. A different kind of bug. This is more of a virus kind of bug. There are people that pursue AIDS. What do you mean? Like trying to go get them?

They meet on sites. They try to get AIDS. They say, are you... They you, what? They're trying to contract the disease? They're trying to contract AIDS. They want it. They deeply want it. Why?

What? Why? I have heard. They'll message people and say, are you sharing or whatever? They'll say yes, and they'll come try to meet up and get AIDS. You don't have to be lonely at AIDSonly.com. Wow. I have heard of partners who won't protect themselves because they want to share with their partner who has it,

which I thought was odd, too. But I haven't heard of that one. To me, it was mind-blowing. That people pursue a disease. Now, I assume it's not just that one. It could be any. I'm sure there are people. This was primarily HIV-AIDS.

But, you know, like we grew up in the Red Ribbon and Philadelphia. It's like you want to stay as far away from that as possible. the AIDS. But, you know, like we grew up in the red ribbon and Philadelphia and, you know, Maggie Johnson. It's like you want to stay as far away from that as possible. No, of course I do. The safe sex practices, I think nowadays are a result of the AIDS epidemic. Well, absolutely. There are people that actively pursue it and they're disappointed in this negative. And I mean, they will they will cut and bleed and unprotected. That is wild. Why though? So wild. I mean, it seems like, I mean, when you do get it, you're probably going to be a little disappointed that it don't feel good.

Right. Well, I mean, that's the thing. But now it's undetectable. Well, there's a. Well, now they do have medicine now. Yeah, exactly. There's that. It's like herpes anymore.

I mean, it's. Yeah, they can suppress it to non-detectable limits. But, you know, there's people that. I watched a few YouTube videos about it because it was kind of that rabbit hole. Yeah, they can suppress it to non-detectable limits. But, you know, there's people that – I watched a few YouTube videos about it because it was kind of that rabbit hole thing. Yeah, I bet. And it was – I mean, it blew my mind. This one guy who is, I guess, HIV or AIDS positive, who, you know, dreaded it,

hated it, you know, all that. He found out that this was a thing. He started interviewing people that try to share it and then people who are trying to get it. And, you know, it was really – It seems like those who want to share it and then people who are trying to get it. And, you know, it was really moving. It seems like those who want to share it and those who want to get it could just meet up somewhere. They do. There's chat rooms.

No, I mean like a Holiday Inn or something, you know. And they do. They get AIDS con. So there's this one gentleman said that he found three people that were positive and he met up with them at the same time and finally was able to contract AIDS. Why? And he's happy now that he contracted it.'s never been happier um there's some interfere on medication and then i imagine he's doing the whole whole spectrum of it there was another

youtube video where i believe lab bible was the channel lad yeah lab bible yeah and they had three people that were interviewing someone who willingly gives it you know that's one of the craziest things i've ever heard in my life. Willingly contract, yes. And this one woman was a nurse, and this is in the U.K., but she was saying, you know, our hospitals, I guess government-run or whatever, are already strapped, busy, and you're doing something

to cause you to come in here with an influx. Yeah. And it's crazy. No, it's certainly not a considerate pursuit, but then again, I mean. You know, obviously, I'm heterosexual. I can't speak for the gay community, but this one individual was gay, and what he said is that growing up there was this fear of gay

in the homosexual community so much so that in his mind and the mind of other like-minded people, thought that contracting AIDS made you, I think his wording was like more gay. I don't know if that is the, but it was. But that was what he was kind of inferring or implying, you feel like. No, I mean, he actually, I believe, said that. Oh, okay. That was his words.

Wow. But he thought that it was, he felt more solid in his identity as a gay man after contracting AIDS. That is wild, man. I have never heard of anybody bug catching bug chasing bug chasing it's the pursuit of this virus yeah and they will stop at nothing to get it now it's just aids or it's just well and the one he watched the one i watched was was aids i'm sure that there's other things out there i mean i didn't know this existed so it would not surprise me to find out that other viruses were were sought after but it was very so they So they're trying to catch it like Pokemon.

Got to catch them all. Yeah, going to. All the AIDS. And you would hear these people talk about being disappointed from having a meetup and then not getting it. And then they would finally pursue it until they achieved a positive. You see, and I feel like the first time I did something with someone, not even know I would get it.

Sure. Because I know that I was, my mom from the time I was 13, and it was embarrassing. I would get mad. It was frustrating. But it's one thing I do look back on and I go, you know, I appreciate that. Sure. Because every damn time from the time I was 13, we got in the car, I'd get the condom lecture. Sure.

Every single time. Sure. You know, I never got that. I had friends that did, but go ahead. I did not use a condom until I was 29. Yeah? Yeah. And the first time, I had a son.

First time. Really? Yeah. So I assumed either, A, I'm really fertile, or it was really, you know, that one in a million shot. Yeah, yeah. We didn't get the, in my family, there's not really ever a birds and bees talk. It was abstain.

No, no birds and bees, yeah. Abstain till marriage. Yeah. Abstain till marriage was the. Now, I do remember my dad getting mad because I was at an AA meeting. It was really at the Alateen because he was at AA and my mom was at Al-Anon, so we had to go to Alateen okay sure okay and uh there was a girl there that I was making out with uh and he was mad you can't

be heavy petting can't be doing all this heavy petting you know uh but yeah I I never you know I never I was like anti not you I tell my sons the same thing. Don't be stupid, man. Sure. Don't be stupid. Right. You know, it only takes once. Yeah. And it ain't just babies.

Babies are the biggest STD you can get, but not the one that's going to bug you the most. Sure. Sure. You don't think a baby's an STD? Oh, come on. Yeah. It's just like herpes. They don't go away. Well, that's true. Well, it's just like herpes. They don't go away.

Well, that's true. Well, it's at least a parasite. Yeah, at very least it's a parasite. That's right. All my kids, all my ones except for one because he's the youngest, they've all moved off.

Have yours not left? Okay. They're close. They're very close. No, no, no. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. My oldest, he's out.

Takes him a little bit longer. My youngest is two months maybe from graduating Barber College. Oh, cool. Yeah, that'm kidding. I'm kidding. My oldest, he's out. Takes him a little bit longer. My youngest is two months, maybe, from graduating Barber College. Oh, cool. Yeah, that's cool. Now, we actually tell both of our sons that stay home as long as you want to stay home. It doesn't matter. You know, if you're going to school, it's free. If you're not, you can pay a little nominal rent to help cover your utilities and food.

But otherwise, you don't have to go. I'm sorry. Oh, no, I was going to say, especially otherwise you don't have to go. I'm sorry. Oh, no, I was going to say, especially in this day, though, like, I remember when I was younger, like, being 18, you know, that was the goal, 18, move out, but now, like, 25, 30, like, stay until you can. Couldn't wait. You know, I don't know what I would be like if I was growing up in this era where I was trying to leave.

I mean, you know, there's so many people like Patrick in real estate. There's so many people that like the American dream of owning a house is not possible anymore. You know, they've been priced out of the market. Or if they can buy a place, it's going to be, you know, maybe somewhere that there's not a huge economic boom. So the work and the jobs aren't going to be there. So, like, that's a whole thing that's going to be an issue for the next decades. But I have a good friend, AJ, and he lives in Canada with his parents still.

AJ is probably 40 now, 39, 40. Okay. And they're, I believe, Pakistani. Forgive me, AJ. I don't know. I got cultural blindness. I can't, you know, I can't tell. So what they do is he's got this family, his parents, mom and dad,

live upstairs in this really beautiful, nice house. And then downstairs there's this wonderful basement. It's all decked out, kitchen, whole nine yards, bedroom, living room, whatever. And he said that in their culture, what they want to do is they want to raise AJ to a level where at some point that dynamic will shift. In his youth, he invests. He saves money. He buys cars.

He buys clothes. He does that type of thing. Scoot in a little bit. Scoot in? Okay. Yeah, there you go. And his parents live their lifestyle. And they meet his needs with rent, utilities, that type of thing,

and they allow him to be completely as successful as he wants to be pursuing any of his interests. Well, at some point that dynamic will shift. They'll move to the basement, and he'll get the top half of the house. And that's just how their culture is. And I think it's different than mine, but I totally respect it, and I think that it's a fantastic way to live now we're we're the to my knowledge we're one of the only cultures that kind of push out of the nest uh versus the euro style where families stay together longer periods

of time um we we actually like both of our sons i mean we're friends with our kids literally friends and so that you know they do sick we hang out and and uh but yeah i i so that, you know, they do secret, we hang out. But yeah, I don't, you know, when I was 18, I opened my dad's birthday gift. It was a broken plate. It was time to go. That's what he told me, it was time to go. You know, and that day was literally my birthday present.

See you later. And actually, that was the second time I'd left because I left when I was 16, moved out, had a full-time job, went to high school, and then that was my whole junior year. I didn't even live at home. Then I came back my senior year because they wanted me to come back. But they didn't like my lifestyle choices very much at that time.

Yeah, any one in particular? Weed was a big big one yeah they were worried about that which i understand and you know i should be worried about that when you're a kid you know uh but uh but yeah just me and my dad didn't get along very well okay he was a dick honestly yeah you know and i probably was too is he still around no he died about 10 uh well about 15 years ago now. But, you know, it was weird because the dad I grew up, I always had dad A and B. Dad A, you know, he did get sober, but he was still a piece of shit.

And he was, you know, he took, I mean, he provided, but he just emotionally was just toxic, very toxic. Dad B was after my dad got on some medication for his bipolar disorder that he discovered he had, became one of my best friends, one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. I miss him to this day. I still miss him, but I hate Dad A. Hate him passionately. He's a pretty mean dude you know uh but that it's weird how one person can represent two completely different things

but but you know and back in that time bipolar all these you know there was so much stigma there still is too much stigma on mental illness honestly oh yeah you know and and unfortunately now everybody has to have a disorder you don't have to by the way you don't have to live that way you know uh but there's so much stigma and he certainly was of that generation where you know he was john wayne i mean his dumb ass had a heart attack at home knew he had a heart attack didn't go to the hospital for three days dumb Dumbass. You know, John waned his life.

That's how he was, you know. So mental health, I mean, to even think about in that time, a man, you know, the provider, the dad, going to get counseling, that's why The Sopranos was such, you know, one of the reasons it was such a phenomenal show because the contrast of this badass, monstrous gangster who's got psychological mental health issues and he's in counseling for it.

That was one of the joys of the program. And I think, ironically, The Sopranos probably did a lot for mental health for people to pursue it. I remember that being kind of a shock. Oh, he's going to see a psychiatrist. Yeah. But Melfi was hot, too. Yeah, psychiatrist. Yeah. But Melfi was hot too.

Yeah, she was. Dr. Melfi was hot. Not to take that into the gutter, but what you're saying is so true. Mental illness is the number one issue. By far and away. And it's not talked about enough. It's not taken serious enough. I

really feel like that us as a society, once we learn how to have those conversations and accommodate the needs of people and be able to understand where they're coming from in a way. Now, I understand that the world's going to flow and there's going to be things that slow things down. It's going to be an issue.

But like you said with your father, once he got treated, it was Father B. Did you ever have a stigma with bipolar or anything like that where you thought, you know, dad is this or dad is that, and then the medication changed him? Where was your turning point with him and his mental health? You know, yeah, when he got prescribed that medication,

and to be honest with you, I don't know how my mom, it was going to get a different time, but she talked the doctor into lying to him because my father was so committed he died 34 years didn't take another drink okay 34 years that's a long time um but he wouldn't take anything that he thought would mentally alter him because he felt i would be an addict to that too. So they didn't tell him the medication they put him on had that impact, you know, but it did. Uh, and, and so what happened is he just immediately, I mean, like almost instantaneously became a kind patient, wise, considerate human being, which was something he had never been any of. Yeah. His brain, considerate human being which was something he had never been any of yeah his brain he had some why no no he couldn't get out of its own way you know but i as a kid you don't know that sure

you know you just know that you grew up in a violent angry household with a bitter angry person and i'm sure the alcohol was probably some self like it was absolutely what it was i mean look again times were different my dad uh was 13 he had a paper route he bought his own first bedroom suit okay because he he had no bedroom furniture he had five siblings and he didn't even have a bedroom suit he had to sleep in his brother's bed wow uh he smoked from the time he was 11 until he died. Sure, okay. You know, three packs of Palmol, no filter a day. Not very good, you know. Didn't exercise, didn't eat well. You know, now he had Popeye arms.

He had that ripped up, you know, upper body. Okay. But no, he never did leg day. No leg day. No bird legs, you know. But, you know, as a kid, you know, he was tough as nails. He was a badass in my mind, but he was also mean, you know. So when he got put on that medication, it was literally night and day.

So did you find yourself, though, always waiting, like walking on eggshells or waiting for something bad to happen because you were so used to it, even though he was nice, or did you accept it? No, I accepted it, you know because um he kind of came to me and and uh unexpectedly you know I was living on my own and um he came to me and said listen I know that I wasn't the dad that you deserved and I I want to do better and I just need to know how to do that. Yeah. And he came to me and he asked me that, you know. And I was like, that was the most humbling thing to experience because as a kid, he was a monster to me. You know what I mean?

He was my nightmare. I mean, he was so mean and so violent and so. I mean, I remember being five years old and old and you know he's on the ground choking my mom and i'm trying to say please don't kill my mom you know what i mean i mean that's scary stuff that's the kind of stuff that and i'm not saying people haven't had it much worse they have there are many many people laura among them who had much worse childhoods than i could ever imagine you know my dad was tough and he was mean but he he wasn't, you know, he didn't do evil things. He just was an over-disciplinarian

who used a belt very liberally, and he was very committed when he did it. You know, it was not no light whoopings when he did it. But you do see that was abuse and wrong. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. There's no doubt about that I grew up in an abusive, violent, domestic violence household. I mean, there was no peace in my home. Very little peace.

I'm so glad that you got that before he passed away. You know, most people do not. And I guess for me, it is a weird two sides of the coin, you know, because as I tell you, I still passionately dislike Dad 8. Sure, right. You know, I still remember the stuff that happened. I haven't forgotten it, and it was not good. You know, it was like living in a war zone, basically.

Sure, sure. And, I mean, if you've never seen never seen you know your mom running after a car because she says pull over and she gets out and he takes off before she can get me out and you see her running and screaming behind the car you don't know yeah you know that's hard that's that's difficult that's scarring you know to deal with as a kid so yeah I mean I'm still mad at that. Sure. But I realized that person was no longer there in the place of who he became. And so, yes, to me, for me, for my life, I was blessed. I was fortunate. I had another side of the coin that a lot of people will never see.

I had a closure that a lot of people will never have. lot of people will never see out of closure right that's a lot of people will never have and uh you know some people still to this day have someone in their life who's abusive or you know alcoholic or drug addict or whatever it is and they can't let go of that that anger and bitterness and frustration because they don't have another side to to cling to when when you had uh father a and father b once he became father B, was there a Patrick A and a Patrick B? What was the... What a great question. I almost did it.

That is, and I can do it. But I'm not going to, you know. That's a great question because, yes, there really was because I had such a massive chip on my shoulder. I'll never forget, I was working for Hanks Furniture, and I was assistant manager.

And I really was ambitious. I wanted to be the manager so bad. And my district manager was in, and I said, hey, man, can I talk to you outside? And I was like, listen, I work hard. I'm the top salesperson here. You know, I'm grinding. I said, you know, what's, what's the barrier to me being a manager? And he was very honest. He said, man, you're just such a smart ass. He did. I swear to God he did. He said, if you just cut some of that out, moderate it a little bit. And I did. And I became the youngest store manager in history but yeah I had this big

huge boulder-sized chip on my shoulder that I wore everywhere and and I and I was angry underneath all that and and that anger would show up not on I've never uh ever ever ever know where would I put my hands on a female or in a violent manner, my child, anything like that. But I was still toxic, you know? And so dad B helped me realize there's another path. I don't have to carry all that. I don't have to carry this anger. I don't have to carry this bitterness. I could put it down. And that was something that was, believe it or not, eye-opening to me is I don't have to carry it down. And that was something that was, believe it or not, eye opening to me is I don't have to carry it anymore. It's not necessary. And when you realize that you can

put it down, you can leave that behind. And if you can shed it, I know most people think, oh, I'll be weak. I'll be a pushover. People will walk over me. I'll be a doormat. No, no, you won't. I'll be a pushover. People will walk over me. I'll be a doormat. No, no, you won't. You'll actually be stronger because you won't react from a place of emotion anymore. And then you develop those boundaries, too, to not allow yourself to get triggered. You try to, yeah.

And it's a work in progress. I mean, look, no matter what you do, there's no perfection. It's always growth. It's always just doing your best to try to get forward and do a little better. And that's why I do my best not to beat myself up. Absolutely. I mean, I think we all do. I did something yesterday.

I went, you're a dumbass. And I went, no, you're not. You're a bitch for saying that. I don't have these conversations with myself, but I have to correct myself because those tapes from being a kid, they play in your head. You're dumb. You're not going to do it.

All those things will play, and you have to consciously stop it and go, that's not a reality I have to live in. Does that make sense? Absolutely. Sure, absolutely. All right, all right. I suppose the saying, try and be 1% better than you were yesterday. Well, that's good.
