Let me go around here and introduce everybody to the people who are in the studio today. By the way, we do have an amazing live performance coming up at the end of the morning from dark from day one so that's

And then to my right, I'm super stoked to have her in the studio in Arkansan, who's become a New Yorker, who's become a big-time comedian, Stuart Fullerton. How are you, Stuart? Good morning. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to have you here. You sound awful chipper, so that's really great. That's a good start right there. That's good. That's good. That's great. That's great.

You just got in. Did you come from New York, or were you on the road already? Yeah, I came from New York. Did you? Yes, sir. got in did you come from new york or were you on the road already yeah i came from new york did you okay now how did you uh you just went to new york too because you wanted to pursue a career in acting and comedy and whatnot yeah absolutely yeah i moved there about 10 years ago wow i've been there for 10 years so was it a big culture shock when you went from here to there i guess 100 yeah this was my brother he went to uh he went there and went to AMDA. Oh, nice. Yeah.

And he spent five years there. And he said that there was never a time he could live on his own, ever. Oh, my gosh. He said he always had roommates. It was too expensive to live on your own. I have roommates. It's true. You as well, yeah.

I wasn't going to say that first thing in the morning, but yeah, it's true. No, I mean, he said it was just unbelievable, you know, trying to do that on your own there. Oh my gosh, I know. Plus auditioning and all those things. That's a grind. Yeah, it is a grind. That is for sure. Well, let's get to some things that we need to know.

First, we'll talk about who's outrun the Grim Reaper. Locally, I want to wish a happy birthday to Megan Morrow. You may know her from real estate. She is an awesome, awesome agent, and she works in the Benton area. And then Shelly Poole, the founder, creator, owner of MyCeline.com. They publish all our schedules. It's her birthday. I've probably known her for, I don't know, 20 years now. She's a great human being and does a lot in the community, so we appreciate that a great deal. Jamie Lee Curtis. Everybody knows who that is from Halloween. How old do you think she is, Stuart? I'm going to say 67. You are damn close. That's a great guess.

I'm good at guessing ages. Oh my gosh. You are. You might go in the bonus round for that. Is that what it is? The Activia. Scarlett Johansson. What do you not know her from? She's 40. Mads Mikkelsen, 59. You know him from Casino Royale, a lot of other movies. Mark Ruffalo, recently The Hulk.

He's 57. Trivium's Corey Ballew is 41. Zach Brown Band drummer Chris Fryer is 54. And Talking Head bassist Tina Waymuth is 74. Yeah, I know, right? Mike, Stuart, of course you know Chad, comment, throw in here. If you have a take on it, don't be afraid to speak up. That's what it's about. We're just talking about stuff. The East Coast, that's where you are. Oh, my gosh. Wintery weather during the holidays is a lot less career in Ives when you're an adult

and have to worry about holiday travel and Thanksgiving plans. The National Weather Service says the first real taste of winter is going to hit the East Coast close to Thanksgiving. Many will need the rain to relieve dry conditions. The storm system is going to bring a lot more than that. Heading into the weekend, they say most of New England, most parts of the Northeast will likely only see rain, but higher elevations over in Pennsylvania, Jersey, and New York may see heavy snow. Some areas getting up to a foot before the second half of the weekend. So they've got winter storm warnings out there.

So probably good you're here right now. Yeah, so I guess I'll stay another week. Yeah, good idea. I can avoid that. A Pew Research survey reveals despite the times being troubled, people are still thankful. Americans have a wide variety of ways to celebrate Thanksgiving. Most families still celebrate. Ninety-one percent do Thanksgiving.

Older Americans, more likely, 96 percent. Almost 75 percent of us use the holiday to get together with friends and family. Mike, do you do a big Thanksgiving at your family or anything? I've got a couple of sisters and a mother. We usually get together, and sometimes we go over to my cousin's house, my aunt's house. Okay, okay. We're going to my cousin's house this year. That's cool.

Looking forward to it. Okay. All right. How about you, Stuart? No, not really. I'm not a big Thanksgiving person. Not a big Thanksgiving person. Yeah, and ever since I moved, it's too close to Christmas.

Yeah. Flights are expensive. I can't come back and forth and back and forth. No, so you've got to pick and choose the holidays. So what do you tend to do on Thanksgiving? Just kick it at the house or something? Yeah, eat a lot. Yeah, no, that's always good.

That's good. That's good. Chad, I know you're getting together with some folks, aren't you? Yeah, I mean, just family. Just some family. Family, yeah. Yeah, all right, all right. Nice little get-together.

Okay, all right. For those who do make plans with others, there'll be a lot of others. Around a quarter expect to have Thanksgiving dinner with over 10 people. 7% more than 20. That's too many. Yeah. I don't like that many of my family any the way I get to 20. I might get to 10 if I really think about it, and I don't think so.

More than a third of us will host. If you're eating dinner while the sun's up, well, not alone. 36% prefer to have Thanksgiving in the afternoon versus in the evening. Do you tend to, Mike, afternoon or evening for Thanksgiving? Afternoon. Afternoon. How about you, Chad? Afternoon.

Yeah, I think that's better. Then you can fall asleep watching football in the chair as God designed it. Let's see. Performers, country singer Mickey Guyton will be hosting the National Christmas Tree Lighting this year. The TV tradition will air December 20th at 8 p.m. Eastern Central Time. Does anyone watch TV during real time? Does that still happen? No, unless it's a national emergency.

Yeah, I mean, I don't watch anything real time anymore that I can think of. What about you, man? I mean, I stream everything off YouTube. Yeah, I stream everything, period. I mean, I don't watch anything when it comes on. I don't schedule a time to watch a sitcom. No, not like we used to. Not like we used to. Do people still have cable? Yeah, no, they do.

I'm not sure why, but they do, yeah. Shh. Let's see. Jason Kelsey, for a guy who's supposedly retired, he's working a lot. The former NFL superstar not only works as a commentator on ESPN Monday Night Football, when the playoffs start, he'll have an additional gig hosting. They call it Late Night.

That's going to be an hour limited run show that'll run friday nights and uh 1am actually and i guess he'll interview different players and whatnot uh traditionally the president of the united states spares the life of one lucky turkey around thanksgiving sparing it from being eaten this year the six million dollar banana may also be spared that gruesome yet tasty end. You may have heard earlier this week a work of art is a banana duct taped to a wall was bought for $6 million. $6 million.

That sounds like some New York shit, if I get it right. Yeah, no, it definitely is some New York shit. The owner of the work, Justin Sun, now says he plans on eating the art unless Elon Musk wants to send it to outer space. That's awesome. Yeah. He said he would donate his banana to Elon Musk and tape it to the body of a SpaceX rocket. And yeah, that sounds great. Look, the person that paid six million dollars for a banana duct tape to the wall. I'm not mad at the artist. I'm mad at you. You are the person that makes art expensive that shouldn't be a banana duct tape to a wall. Give me a break.

All right. Hey, if you take Klonazepam, I think that is the generic value. Is that right? It's Klonopin. Hmm? It's Klonopin. It's the generic of that?

I don't think it's. I don't know. I think that's Valium, but I could be wrong. But nonetheless, there's a recall on it. So look it up. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Now we know who it takes.

Good. I want some. If you have trouble sleeping, it says maybe a five-minute ice bath would help you. No. No. Cryostimulation, they call it. Could be a viable treatment for people with sleep issues, it says. No.

No. Hard no. No way. No. I hate cold showers, man. No, of course you do. Yeah, cold showers is cold enough for me. No, man.

No ice water. In the military, when I was in basic, and we had 54 guys, man. And we were all in one big open bay, you know. So everybody slept in the same room, big shower. But because there's so many people, about halfway through, the hot water's gone. Oh, yeah. So if you didn't get there early, you were trying to shave in a cold shower. Oh, God.

Shaking and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. you know it's terrible man how many of you tried this uh new newer trend of mouth tape me me i love it i love it people are really doing that i thought it was kind of a gag they're really doing it i do it absolutely yeah i wake up every morning like i'm in saw just like ripping shit off my face but i love it i saw oh thank you well it's supposed to kind of help your double chin is the is the first reason oh is it yeah why because you sleep with your mouth open and then it like kind of messes your jaw up a little bit oh it's kind of a cosmetic thing for some people but then also you breathe through your nose so the oxygen goes straight to your brain.

And then I sleep amazing. I'll sleep through the night with it. Oh, that's great. That's great. I use a CPAP. It's a little more advanced than tape, but it does the same thing. But it's similar because it's going up through your, yeah. It does the same thing, yeah.

It absolutely does. Jonathan Majors, the actor, he took a major career hit after being convicted last December of a couple of misdemeanor accounts assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Apparently, he can breathe a little easier. She dismissed a federal lawsuit against him in which she accused him of assault and defamation. She sued him in March, alleging he had defamed her by maintaining he never put his hands on a woman in an interview with Good Morning America. Let's see. Oh, here you go.

Let's avoid some spit tanks here. Put your Starbucks down before you listen to this. How much did you spend on that white chocolate mocha and extra shot of espresso? Not as much as you spend on one cup of coffee from Moscow Organic Dairy in Scotland. of coffee from Moscow Organic Dairy in Scotland, a flat white, that's a double shot of espresso topped with steamed milk and some foam art, is $344 for a cup of coffee. It better not just wake me up, it better wake me up and give me a happy ending. It has some booger sugar in it. I mean, it's got to have something for $344 damn dollars. Jesus. Uh, Jussie Smollett's conviction is overturned. Not because the courts found that he wasn't guilty, but because they found that procedurally, uh, basically they put him in double jeopardy.

The first trial that he had should have ended everything. They shouldn't have been able to prosecute him again, according to the court. And so they have overturned that conviction. So guess what? He'll probably be back on TV again next week. Look for him back. Matt Gates withdrew from Attorney General. And he is now named Pam Bondi, the 20-year prosecutor and Attorney General from Florida. Oh, this is a great story.

Ryan Bourgeois disappeared months ago in Green Lake County. He staged things to look like he suffered a kayaking accident. Instead, the sheriff had a news conference yesterday saying he'd been in contact with his office since last week and gave details about what happened. He staged his disappearance due to personal matters, he said. His wife and three kids didn't know what the personal matters were had no knowledge of what happened to him the sheriff said when he returns it's up to his free will so he's not in any trouble he just apparently was tired of being a husband and a dad i don't know yeah i'm out i'm Hilarious. Just disappeared on a kayaking trip.

They thought he, well. Nah, he's gone. 160,000 pounds of ground beef recalled over E. coli. So, you know, be careful, I guess. Nobody's going to stop eating burgers. Senator Bob Casey concedes his election. Nobody cares. U.S. home sales rose in October.

It's the first annual gain in over three years. That is a good sign right there. For the first time in over three years, sales of previously occupied homes rose in the U.S. Existing home sales rose 3.4% to 3.96 million. So that's a big jump, and that's good. That's a good sign for the economy in general. Officials warn the Thanksgiving Day parade, the Macy's, could be a target of terrorist threats. We're still doing parades in other news. Do you ever watch that? Ever gone to the Macy's parade there? I'm not a parade person. It's too early and too cold.

Well, it's both, yeah. And most of them aren't throwing me anything I want. i can get butterscotch from grandma's purse i don't know if you throw that at me uh it might not be the moon but it's getting close bitcoin handing out around a hundred thousand valuation getting as close as 99 376 at 11 p.m. last night. That's about 3% higher than the 24-hour low for the cryptocurrency with over $123 billion in trading over 24 hours. Do you trust that stuff? Hell no. I don't either. No, a lot of people make money on it.

I just don't trust it. You know, it's one of those things where I think if you're not watching it minute to minute, and maybe even more than that, that you could lose your ass it's a day trade situation and man i don't have enough hours today to sit there and work at it and try to guess what's going to work and not yeah i wish i was that guy oh yeah i wish i could make money like that yeah i wish i was a rain man who understood that business but uh i look at it i'm like it's invisible i'll never see it yeah and my money could disappear part for me

it's like you can't put your hands on it. Yeah. No, I get it. I get it. Here's a couple good stories. After spending seven years in foster care in Dallas, Texas, 17-year-old Eden, adopted by Kelly and Jeff Bout just in time for Thanksgiving. Eden is on the autism spectrum, was featured on the local news

where he shared his wish to be adopted, and apparently it touched them, them and they felt a connection and now he's part of a family with four siblings and even at 17 i think that's great because that's still an impressionable age and you could use a lot of guidance there so that's that's a great story that's a great story it is it's always been bizarre to me how like we really don't focus on the adoption of children as much as we do for dogs and cats. I know. It is funny. There should be a drive during the holidays, especially to adopt kids right now. Bob Barker should have been saying spay and neuter your parents.

Stop having more of them. A Chicago man won the Illinois lottery $650,000 Lucky Day lotto jackpot. He matched all five numbers. The numbers he selected held personal significance connected to his late wife, making the win feel especially meaningful. He has plans to use the money to fulfill his dream of buying a house for himself and his kids. Russell Crowe. Apparently, Gladiator 2 could have looked a lot different. Ridley Scott said

Russell Crowe wanted to reprise his role as Maximus. Now, spoiler alert, he died at the end of that movie. He said, Russell and I had to go around 18 years ago. I had Nick Cave writing the script and I kept saying to Russell, but you're dead. He said, I know I'm dead. I want to come back from the dead. Easy to understand why it did earn him his only Academy Award, you know. But no, he's not coming back apparently. It's all Denzel's now. Jake Paul could have some legal exposure because of some of his post-fight comments. The freshly filed class action suit against Netflix revealed to be about $50 million. That's because of the shitty streaming during that.

And now the NFL is going to be on that. I hope they're ready. The NFL was checking them about that. But now some believe Paul might have opened himself up to potential litigation because of comments he made after the fight by seeming to admit taking the foot off the gas against Tyson wanting to give the fans a show but not hurting someone who didn't need to get hurt uh this could be a big problem and could cause a lawsuit because that that affects all

the different gamblers like basic throwing a fight in other words you know not that he was throwing it it was pretty clear that Mike couldn't handle it from about two minutes in we all got duped by that yeah and my wife's like i can't believe i paid for netflix for a month for that shit i'm like i know but let's make use of it while we got it what's on there now you gotta get her on bridgerton yeah i'm bridgerton not my wife the fight in bridge you guys know if it's true that he was told he couldn't get anything if he knocked him out in the first round? Who? Tyson.

So that's what I heard is that the contract said that he could knock Paul out in the first round or he got nothing. Oh, I didn't see that, but I don't know. I mean, I've heard all kinds of rumors that circulate out there, but Mike, when I looked at him, I didn't think he could fight. I didn't think he was able to do it. You know, he looked way too hot. He looked old all of a sudden.

He never looked old until that moment he stepped in the ring. He didn't look old the day before. No, he didn't look great the day before. So, I mean, that's why I think there's some validity to the possibility. I mean, let Mike get a check. He got a check. No, he got $20 million. But if it's true that the contract said you can't knock them out in the first round, that's huge.

And it's definitely like all of those things are important because it's a boxing match. But is it really a boxing match? Was it really with the national boxing, whatever the professional sport? If you're going to make it an exhibition, then it should be an exhibition. But they didn't. They've changed it to an actual sanctioned bout. And that has different rules and different requirements. And to your point, if it were not, then it should have been as such.

And otherwise, it's wrong. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. You know, look. Yeah, I think it's staged. Let me be honest. The reason that 60 million people tuned in was to see Jake Paul get his ass knocked out. Everybody wanted to see that mouth, see his teeth clack that chin go up and see him fall back i mean that's what

everybody was looking for because he's been running his mouth for years and hasn't yet beat up anybody of note you know um am i saying that he's not a great money maker no no clearly he just made 40 million dollars off that fight so i mean you can hate him he's not a great moneymaker? No. Clearly, he just made $40 million off that fight. So, I mean, you can hate him. He's still, he can buy you, sell you, and never know. I mean, that's a fact. That's the truth. Yeah.

NBA has announced a pickup-style format. I'm looking forward to that, man. Yeah, you're excited about it? That's going to be pretty cool. Okay. Well, they've played a new card in hopes of putting together an all-star event players may be actually interested in. Fans also.

The weekend of Valentine's Day will be NBA All-Star Weekend. The all-star game, the highlight of it all, will be a new four-team tournament-style format. The pickup-style game will feature two semifinal games. They'll go up to 40 points to determine a winner, and then a final game up to 25. Discussions were had between league bigwigs. They have three of the eight players feature all-stars, and the fourth eight-player team featuring rising stars. We'll see all about that on February 16th.

So that was a pretty big announcement yesterday, wasn't it? Yeah, it was cool, yeah. Why do you like it better? I just think it gives another element. So they've done the same thing for so many years. It's getting dull, just like the slam dunk competition is nothing, and everybody used to look forward to that. One of the things they're talking about doing is having Kaitlyn and Curry play. Oh, really? Yeah, I think stuff like that.

Each other? Yeah, I think stuff like that would really help. Oh, I mean, I love Kaitlyn Clark, but Steph Curry would smoke her ass. But it would bring it, yes. It's another Jake Tyson fight right there. I think it would be good. You know, I'm sure it would. And look, she's an amazing player, no doubt about it.

I mean, look, she is awesome. Clearly her numbers show that. I think they're just talking about how he had a three-point competition. Oh, like a three-point shootout. Okay, okay, I can see that. So he's not going to body her up in the paint or something. Okay, take her to the rack. Okay, that makes more sense to me then.

The NFL has sent out a security warning to teams in the aftermath of burglaries in the homes of Mahomes and Travis Kelsey. The memo warns of threats targeting professional athletes from burglary groups. What, do they put out warnings now? Like terrorist organizations? We're going to burgle you, and you can't stop us. Yeah, it might be the Swifties. It could be.

They could be real mad about that. You probably found that address in the media. Yeah, you're probably right about that. And let's see. Last season, the Space Coast Vipers high school football team went 1-8. It was forgettable. This year, in the state championship, Tampa Bay Buccaneer quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Baker and Emily Mayfield Foundation played a big role making it possible. Due to helmets that were literally falling apart,

there was a risk of not being able to have a season through his foundation. They were able to give back by donating just out of 18 grand to the school so they could have new safe helmets to play in. The team bonded over that and made it a point to watch Mayfield play and used him as inspiration. This year, they've gone 9-3, and they're playing in the state championship game tonight. Mayfield says that makes them really happy.

That's awesome. Yeah, no, that is awesome. How's his team doing, by the way? They doing pretty good this year? They won a couple. They weren't supposed to win, I think, but, I mean, they're doing all right. I don't think they're, like, in – they might be in the hunt. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who do you think has got it this year? Detroit? You think they're running for it? Yeah, I like Detroit. I like Kansas, but I knew they were fixing to lose that game. Well, it's hard to go undefeated in this NFL, man. I've always liked Kansas. Dallas is way down.

No, Dallas sucks balls. We know that. I mean, let's be honest. They're just terrible, man. No, they're going to continue to be terrible. They'll be rich and terrible as long as Jerry Jones is there. Do what? Paid but not playing.

Yeah, no, they get paid well. I mean, they're the most valuable franchise in the world. I mean, yeah, they get paid very well, but they just suck. As long as Jerry keeps meddling, you know what's going to happen there. All right, let's do something different, shall we? If you or someone you love suffers from dick gas, the National Center for Penile Farting can help. Our staff specializes in treating your dude queefs in a number of ways,

alleviating the social stigma that dick farting can cause. The initial consultation is free. Just for contacting us, we'll give you a very tiny kazoo. You put it in the, you know. It's time to stop dick farting for good. Operators are standing by and they're trained not to laugh. That's good. That's good. We need more help like that, you know. Need that number out there. Yeah, no, it's great to have that available for everyone. I didn't even know they could do that. Well, I know, right? It's

a new phenomenon. That's why we have to, we have to bring a PSA and things like that. So tonight and tomorrow night, for that matter, Stuart is going to be performing live at the Looney Bin here in Little Rock. Yeah, speaking of dick farting, I will be at the Looney Bin. It's going to be fun. Yeah, so tell everybody a little bit about yourself and kind of how you got from here to there. Oh, yeah, so I'm from here originally.

Grew up here. I always, I think, was hilarious. Yeah. Learned all the humor here. Where did you go to school, may I ask? I went to Central. Central High. Okay.

Yes, sir. Okay, very cool. Right here in Little Rock, yeah. Shout out. Go Tigers. And, yeah, and anyways, I went to school for kind of theater and then got really into comedy when I first moved to New York. And it's just been a blast.

I just perform a lot there, go on the road road a bit and this is my first time coming I did a show here like a year ago but it's my first time headlining here so I'm just that's great I bet you are I bet you are now you uh I know you do comedy do you also pursue acting or is that something you do yeah well when I first moved to New York I went to like a lot of auditions and then it got really hard and stand-ups more fun so yeah auditioning is like a lot of the job and that really is isn't it that's so yeah my brother uh I was telling you before the show I think that he he went to New York and stayed there five years and uh that's what he said He said he spent more time auditioning than anything else. And they're all over the place. You have to commute and it takes a long

time to get anywhere. Right. So my plan is to just be really cool and then have people just send me stuff. Good plan. Good plan. Good plan. So in New York, do you tend to, I assume you probably rely on public transportation a lot? Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. I take the MTA. It's rough out there. What's it, I mean, you know, for those, like most people here have never been on a subway.

Oh, my gosh. What's it like? Tell us about it. It's not good. I'll tell you that. I'll tell you that. You see some crazy shit. And honestly, after the pandemic, it got worse.

Like, the crazies came out a little more. Oh, they did? It made them more. It incentivized them to be more crazy. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. And then they'll have little cops that just stand in, like, the one, like, in one corner. They don't do anything.

No, they just stand there? Yeah, they just stand there and watch. And then people do crazy stuff, jump in between trains. There's rats everywhere. On the train? Oh, like, crawling around.'re on the train oh like crawling around not on the train hopefully just outside of it though i mean they're just everywhere in the subway tunnels we're in the subway running around and these new york rats are different

like they carry pizza and stuff they carry pistols what are you talking about like they're jake paul yeah no the level is him so they're crazy and you see some crazy stuff but mostly it's just a rough it's rough yeah be lucky be blessed that you get in your car and go to work yeah now all right no doubt let me ask this uh because you know it must be different as a female particularly oh yeah um do you do you tend to ride with someone do you ride by yourself how does that work i mean does it make you anxious? I mean, yeah, a little bit. I mostly just blast my headphones and ignore everyone. Yeah.

That's what New York is doing. New York is good to do that, isn't it? Oh, my gosh. I'll be in my own world. You ignore everyone. Like, people will do those videos where it's like, was this, like, this person was rude. And it's like, in New York, no one's going to stop for anyone. Right.

You know what I mean? Yeah, no, they don't. Yeah, like everyone's like in their own lane. For self-preservation purposes, it seems like, right? Yeah, anything that looks a little crazy, it's like just run, just go. Just put your head down and move past it. Yeah, yeah. Maybe I'll live.

Exactly, exactly. I try not to take it too late at night. How is the dating environment in New York different than maybe here not going well I'll tell you that not going well for me nothing's going good that's why I'm here with you boys at 6 30 a.m. if you're rich get some bitcoin yeah if you have some bitcoin she's down or honestly just a house yeah a nice apartment. Yeah.

Okay. All right. That's great. I mean, everyone in New York is a little, I feel like people here are more likely to settle down and stuff. And in New York, everyone's got their own thing going on. So it's not as likely that you meet someone. Even on the apps, no one's really going to give up their night. I mean, some people do, but everyone's got their own thing going on. It seems like, you know, anecdotally that people stay as boyfriend, girlfriend or engaged much

longer there than they do here. Like here you get engaged and within a year, somebody's walking up an aisle, you know, there it's like six, how long you've been engaged? Six years. What? That's crazy to me. Oh my gosh. You do see that too there. Oh, my gosh. So you do see that, too, there. I see that there, yeah. Okay, interesting, interesting. Mike, man, you are quite the interesting story, man. You're a documentary filmmaker.

Tell everybody about the film that you've been working on, your project, and what's going on with you. All right. All right. So right now I'm working on finishing up a docuseries episode that's in color correction and getting credits and everything as we speak. Yeah, that's awesome. I know you are, man. I'm going to be sharing that with a lot of people today with a press release talking about the case that's a part of this project. So really, it's twofold. My mission is really what's become a homicide case and the story that I've been telling for about a decade before that. Yeah. And it's about my person, my absolute best friend.

He was an adult, adopted, autistic heavy metal singer here known as T.C. Edwards. Okay. From the band T.C. and the Eddies. Yeah. And we had had a decade of working on this production had gone to hollywood and austin and new orleans and huge concerts with hundreds of people showing up and just really had the time of our lives uh and then um i guess around 2014, I had to take care of my grandmother pretty much full time.

Yeah. And so being a bartender for years and working with TC while we were on this project, we worked together, you know, every night and hung out every night after work. Right. Which is like three, four o'clock in the morning. Yeah, yeah. And so since I was taking care of my grandmother uh i couldn't hang out that late night and uh after 10 years of being off of hard drugs uh still drinking a little beer you know smoking cannabis i mean those those were his medications really and that's what helped him come out of his autistic shell yeah no because otherwise he's non-verbal uh he you know went down

to midtown and nothing bad about midtown because it could happen anywhere late night. He ran into the wrong person, and that person started pushing hard drugs on him and started robbing him at gunpoint in his own home and pushing those hard drugs on him. Five police reports later, we finally get him arrested, and he bails out and we'll say that he became the only suspect that we know of for the homicide of TC before that court case came open. So there was going to be a court case in January and we lost TC December 7th, 2014. In two weeks or so, it'll be 10 year anniversary of that memorial. And so we're talking about our story now you know and so that's that's what the project is it's uh to talk about uh this project that we

were on together in our lives together and uh what derailed it about 10 years ago and just and i'm just trying to hold together for the last 10 years uh grateful to have a lot of people that are helping me and supporting me so what what do you hope will be accomplished with this docuseries? What is your end goal with this? I mean, obviously, you want to get his story out there. You want it to be seen. You want, you know, the world to be aware. But what longer term is the goal for this? Are you looking for a type of justice? Are you looking for something particular here? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I call the chief of police at least once a month, maybe every few weeks, call the prosecutor's office. I contact federal and state agencies and try and do what I can to get people to pay attention. You know, I just spoke

at the city board about the new surveillance state that we just voted against that is coming anyway because the city board passed it yeah about how um you know it's just ineffective because i don't currently have a homicide case yeah what i have is a cold case i got you and uh what i need is a homicide case i need the chief of police to tell one of the homicide detectives to call me to take over this case so you you said something interesting that i picked up on and I want to kind of key in on that a second. And that is that, um, the guy, you know, whoever it is, he ran into, uh, basically coerced him into drugs and then, you know, everything happened. Uh, when you say, you know, tell me more about co the truth and I don't mean to be funny but I've done a lot of drugs in my life and most of them were pretty willingly sure to be honest with you and so and I put myself in positions when I

was a younger person to be vulnerable to any number of things so tell me you know kind of what you mean when you say that well i mean these things are factual uh i believe so so i can speak on these yeah without having an opinion on a case that hasn't been seen yeah because i have an opinion on that yeah but uh the fact is is that andre demetrius molly jr uh was pushing crack cocaine on Terry Edwards, known as TC. Yeah. And how he did that was to find him in a vulnerable spot when he was super intoxicated at a late-night bar and offer it to him. And then TC, who had had a place to live for over 10 years,

that was in my name, and leased by me, and been taken care of by his disability income. TC broke a rule and let somebody come into his house and brought the drugs into his house. Made that mistake. Yeah. That's a mistake that he made while he was really intoxicated. Sure. And was probably going to choose to walk home at that point, you know, a good five miles or catch a ride with this guy and maybe and maybe have somebody to hang out with him for a few hours.

Yeah. And maybe do drugs. Who knows? Yeah. You know. So what happened from there, which I later found out. So so all these things I found out later, I didn't know it was happening because I've been taking care of my grandmother 9 a.m., 9 p.m., six, seven days a week. So what had happened in the amount of six months or so is that this guy had gotten to a regular program where he would come over to TC's house and just let himself in. Yeah. And once the door got locked, he just would have broke the door so the door couldn't be locked tc's autistic he's not repairing doors he's not even checking his mail you know like yeah he's not doing those things so he would just leave the place unlocked because he didn't care what are you going to steal his vhs tapes his records nobody's going into his place he didn't have that

you know in his life so since nobody broke into his place and stole his his place he didn't have that you know in his life so since nobody broke into his place and stole his things that he didn't expect it yeah honestly there was no way to keep this guy out anyway because every time we repaired the door he would just knock it in to the tune of breaking the entire frame off wow when we would uh barricade the door oh he would break the barricade so eventually i had to have somebody with a um a gun standing behind me while me and another person put a new iron door on on the apartment we got him a roommate for protection okay we had the um again the five police reports and and what happened is on the fifth police report um the, the police officer, even though I thought it was a jerk, he was really, you know what? There's a lot to the story. So I'm going to go back and try

to answer your specific question. The specific question was about how did he push drugs on some, somebody, right? How do you give something to somebody that they're going to enjoy? Yeah. Yeah. You know, how do you push that? And it's graphic, uh, a a bit but i did just share this at the city board meeting uh so so basically um his mo i guess that it was just to come in wake tc up who may have been asleep for an hour or two yeah uh super intoxicated passed out yeah yeah yeah okay uh he'd rouse him up and uh and if he wasn already naked, he'd make him get naked and check every single thing that he had, all of his clothes, all of his bedding, all of his shoes, everywhere around the apartment that you could hide money.

And he would say, that's business. That's what I have to do with you crackheads. I have to get my money. But we're friends, so we're going to smoke together. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not leaving until we're friends so we're gonna smoke together i'm not going anywhere i'm not leaving until we're friends yeah you're gonna smoke this with me yeah and then he'd sit down and he'd smoke crack and he talked tc into smoking crack yeah and if tc refused which a lot of times he would because he'd be absolutely upset that somebody just woke him up and is in his house demanding him to do things yeah larger than him you know an obvious crack dealer yeah six plus feet tall um you know gold teeth braids

menacing uh and if tc refused he'd pull a gun on him and he would hold him at gunpoint well that'll do it and get him to smoke that crack. Yeah. That's what it took. Wow, that's insane, man. That's literally an insane story. It is insane. Yeah, so this docuseries, how many episodes are you going to have in it?

Because it sounds, I'll be honest with you, based on what you've described, I'm ready to watch it now. Thanks, man. It's super important to me. And to be clear, there are two huge projects with this, but there's a lot. There's a lot to what it's become. Of course, I want to write these things. But as far as what you'll be able to see anytime soon, this docuseries that we're working on is really to lift up the full-length documentary

so we'll have a full-length documentary 75 to 90 minutes like a traditional full-length documentary called tc is metal yeah then we also have what i'm what i'm calling a docuseries which is the docuseries because it's a podcast mixed with interviews okay about this story and we've shot about a dozen episodes okay during the pandemic gotcha and so we're using that because the the impact of a 75 to 90 minute feature-length documentary i've seen from history yeah it doesn't have the impact of something that can continue to make an impact and be present like your show yeah no i don't know if you just if you just had a um a documentary you, it would be a great documentary. But then it would exist, it would get awards, things would move on.

And that's the end of it, right. So to have something that continues is what we're doing. To keep the pressure on the system in order to get a result. That's right. Okay, well, that makes sense. And continue to talk about the person I absolutely adored, that I loved more than anyone else. I could talk about him all day.

I'll probably be talking about him the rest of my life. Yeah, no, I understand, man. So thanks for this opportunity. Oh, no, you're more than welcome. We're glad to have you here. It sounds fascinating. And you've got a website, I'm sure? Yeah, tcismetal.com.

Yeah, there you go, tcismetal.com. So, you know, you can follow along with this, follow the saga, you know, maybe work with Mike, help him find justice for TC. It sounds like a fascinating story. So I'm glad you're here. So hang out, stick around, and we'll talk about quite a bit of stuff as well otherwise. So we're glad you're here, man. Thank you very much. Thanks, Patrick.

Thankfully, I didn't waste money or time on it. I get he wanted the dough, and good for him. I'm not a Paul fan either. No, I understand nobody is a Paul fan. You know what he has done? He's made himself a great villain.

You know what I mean? Look, the world needs villains. We all do. And look, he's not afraid to play that part. So, I mean, and that's what he's doing, isn't it? I mean, he's just playing a role. He's a WWE heel just like his brother. I mean, that's what I mean.

It's just a different ring. It's just a different environment. That's exactly right. It's no different whatsoever. And I'm glad that you said that. By the way, if you go over to our Facebook right now, you'll see the announcement. I think it's a pretty big deal. We're going to have a huge, huge thing called Arkenbrau right here at the Legion Scaffold Broadcast Studio Center, right out here in the big portion, we're going to have this. And I'm going to tell you what, it's fascinating

because it's four different wrestling divisions that are coming together. It's going to be January 25th right here, and it's going to have BCW, AWE, TNR, and WWP. So if you like wrestling, you like all the over-the-top stuff, then you're going to love this. And here's the big news. It's free. It is an absolutely free show.

That's rad. Yeah, no, it's going to be a lot of fun. Look, these up-and-coming guys, man, they're working so hard. They have these leagues all over the state. And it's just a great time. And it's cool to support. I mean, it's just a great time uh and it's cool to support i mean it's it's another variation of entertainment you know it just combines athletics and entertainment and uh

there's some real creative and fun people involved so i hope do you know chris pierce i don't he's a he's a local uh badass wrestler he he does offense like he's done a couple at v notes okay Which is amazing. But they fit a ring in the middle of Vino's. Yeah, no, right. They can fit a ring there. There's room to get around one side of it. No, you could fart on it. That's about all you got room to do there.

It is hilarious, and it is serious, and it is athletic. Like, they're really doing it. No, and that's exactly what's going on here. So we're super excited to have that coming together. That's January 25th right here. I'll give you a chance to come see the studio, meet the cast of Patrick and the people. Everybody's going to be here. And then have a really entertaining night.

I think we're going to have free food. It's just going to be dope. You know, it's just something we wanted to do to put on a cool event for everybody. So how about that? Are you going to Joe Rogan it? I will be Joe Rogan it. Yeah, I'll be Joe Rogan it. That is correct.

You got a partner in crime on that? Who's doing it? You know, I don't yet. Really? I'm open. I'm open. I may take auditions. Maybe you are.

Are you interested in that? Man, unfortunately, man, I would love to. I would absolutely love to do that. I'm not sure if I'll be here. No, I understand. But man, oh, my God. I got some ideas for you. I would love to. I would absolutely love to do that. I'm not sure if I'll be here. No, I understand. But, man, oh, my God. I got some ideas for you. I'll pitch you.

I'll pitch you off air. Man, I love that, man. Yeah, I love ideas for sure. I mean, if Chris Pierce isn't wrestling, he's your guy right there. Okay. Stone deal. Well, I'd like that. Because he's a stand-up comic, too.

Okay, but very cool. Very cool. All right. Well, let's get to, you know, I can't avoid the rant, and it's time. So let's do this thing. All right. Let's get to it. Now, this is something that you just don't hear every day. In Sweden, there is a lot of political controversy right now. It's not what you think.

Polina Brandberg is the Swedish gender equality minister. Leaked emails revealed that her team is contacted anywhere the minister goes to make the environment banana-free. Why, you may ask? Well, obviously, it's because she has banana-phobia, the fear of bananas. The condition, which causes anxiety and nausea, can be triggered by the sight or smell of bananas. Hey, that is absolutely not something

to make fun of in any way. Are you freaking kidding me? Come on. No, that's a 100% lock something to make fun of in any way. Are you freaking kidding me? Come on. No, that's a 100% lock to be made fun of. Here, point to the doll where the banana touched you. I can see someone having maybe an unnatural fear of spiders. They got a shit ton of legs, a face full of eyes, and they're hairy. In your case, it's yellow and tasty.

Do you see the difference there? It's pretty simple to grasp why someone looking over the edge of a cliff might have massive anxiety. If they fall, they die. Even if you step on a banana, the worst thing that happens is a comical slip and maybe you land on your bony ass. What the hell happened here? Did you choke on a banana lappy-tappy in elementary school or do you just have a head full of stump water did your daddy once whoop you whilst indulging in a long yellow fruit or are you just a soup sandwich just crazy as hell and the fact that you're the minister of anything scares me for the world

not because you have an unnatural fear but because it's a freaking banana, I can understand a banana hammock. Any guy wearing a G-string is probably a serial killer. I get a banana clip. That means someone is about to get high-speed lead poisoning. But I don't get an actual banana. You can't be minister when you're stopped by monkey snacks. You can't lead a department when you can be derailed by delicious pudding. Resign today or I start mailing you Laffy Taffy and bulk. Next up, this study might actually shock you.

Don't think so? Sandy and Steve skeptic? Scientists created a miniature car. They have taught rats to drive said car using a lever to control it. With some surprise, the rats seem to get great enjoyment from revving the engine. Hey, what's with all the science crap, man? Are you freaking kidding me? Did you hear what I just said? They taught rats to drive cars. You know the thing people are terrified by? Rats now given a motorized vehicle to be able to get to you way faster. And I know

what you're thinking. You're saying, angry P, know, it's just those particular rats. It's not like they're all exposed to this. None of those rats could ever get out of the lab. No, how could they ever get out? It's not like you gave them a getaway vehicle. Wait, no, there's no way those rats could ever get out of the lab. That's what they said about COVID. How'd that work out for you? If only one rat makes it out, one, in weeks, they'll reproduce enough to start the first rat car factory and open six dealerships in your neighborhood. And as you know, jobs are scarce in the old rat community. Most of them involve bad endings in snake cages. Experiments are caught in a rat trap, but now they can jump that trap Dukes of Hazzard style. Cheese robberies

are going to skyrocket, and no-time rat gangs are going to run all the sewers. And you know the famous quote from Sun Tzu in The Art of War, he who controls the shitter controls the world. I'm pretty sure that's accurate. And finally, oh yeah, this is a real special piece of news for you. As you may or may not be aware, in England, church attendance has dropped dramatically in recent years. Churches are exploring many ways to renew people's interest in attending. One has come up with a special way to do it. In Yorkshire, England, at historic St. Peter's, the praise and worship also includes wrestling matches. Yeah, that's right.

Kingdom wrestling sets up a ring in the church and matches occur throughout the service. Some say it's appropriate or inappropriate and offensive. Are you freaking kidding me? Let me tell you something, Johnny Judas. When I get you in the ring, I'm going to rip your head off and drop a deuce in the hole for Jesus. I'm going to put a savior slam on that ass, finish you with that evangelical elbow. I'm going to send you to hell, resurrect you and round kick your ass back to hell again. I mean, come on.

You tell me that doesn't sound fun. And I think this is just the beginning of what can be done. While they may have biblical wrestling names, the men and women are still wearing their fancy underwear on stage, tight leather underwear. I say next we bring strippers for Jesus. And you say, here you go, being Judgy McJudgerson. Let me ask you a question. Which is better, stripping for money and meth or freeing the fun bags for faith?

Let's mix it up for the Messiah, baby. Look at that, Jim. She's twerking. I think I see your Holy Spirit. Don't let the naysayers get you negative, my Christian creators. Soon enough, we'll all be slinging a little of Jehovah's jumping powder, and it's going to feel like heaven. Come on. It's for Jesus, right? Oh.

...station employees. It may be considered offensive by some people in the office if you refer to springtime as boner palooza thank you yeah probably not shouldn't do that all right uh we are back ready to move on to something else man uh chad what do you got going this weekend buddy what's going on uh in your world going to memphis on saturday are you what's going on in Memphis, man? Justin Timberlake with the wife. Why do you say that like you're all ashamed of it? I do not want to go, man. Why do you? I love going to Memphis. Hold on. You're going to tell me that

when Justin starts going, I'm bringing sexy back, you're not going to be like, yeah! No, no, no. What are you going to do? You're going to sit there with your arms folded like a... I'll be with my wife, drinking a beer probably. You're going to sit there like this? folded like a. I'll be with my wife drinking a beer probably. You're going to sit there like this. Okay, Justin, get it over with already. I'll be hoping he slips off that stage.

Have you seen how he like hangs off the stage? No, I haven't seen that. Slide, slide, slide. So going to see Jay Tizzle in Memphis and your wife's super excited about it. Oh, yeah, she's stoked. Yeah. Now, does she jam and stuff still all the time? No, but I mean, she wanted to go so i

was like yeah i can make it yeah did you did you get her a new poster to frame up no but we didn't go that far with no no no okay so uh what are you going to make a weekend of it just going up there for that and coming back or i mean i'm sure we're going to find some stuff to get into it's memphis right you gotta find something to get into like somebody else's car that's the best that's what most people get get into, like somebody else's car. Something. That's the best. That's what most people get into in Memphis, someone else's car, and then they take it. Okay.

What do you got? You got four shows this weekend. Is that right? Four shows. I wish I was seeing Justin Timberlake. He's my favorite drunk driver. Oh, right. Yeah, man. You know, it'd be great to pull Justin over, wouldn't it?

One hundred percent. Just sing for me. Get out and dance, bitch. Come on. So you've got four shows. How do you get your mind around that many performances in a weekend? I'm a little. I've got to be focused.

Yeah. Yeah, I've got to lock in. I can't really do stuff before. Sometimes if I do too much during the day, I can't be as on at night. Right. No, that makes perfect sense. Which sucks because sometimes I want to get out and do things. I really got, I got to chill, but I'll do a little things. All my friends have kids here. So I go visit some babies,

babies, hang out with people, um, that kind of stuff. So when you, when you're doing your stand up, are you, uh, how would you describe your style? I mean, how do you approach stand-up as far as a theme and style? Well, you know, I like a lot of joke writing, punchlines. I have quick ones. I don't do a lot of, like, storytelling. I'd like to get into that more. I haven't worked on that really yet. So your work in that case is very incumbent upon rote memorization. Yes. Carlin style yeah yeah yeah that i mean that was the we talked about that i think last week uh george carlin was probably to me for rote memorization among the best of the best because he could rattle off a list of things in

order and every word mattered oh my gosh yeah which is challenging sometimes i'm getting old my memory is not as good as it used to be. No, I understand. Who were your inspirations for stand-up? Oh, my gosh. I really like, I really love this girl, Natasha Leggero. Oh, she's amazing. I love her. Like, I love a lot of the girls, you know, out there.

Nikki Glaser is amazing. Nikki Glaser's been amazing for years. She just kind of popped off from the roast. Yeah, she's a great roast comic, but she's been a great comic for a long time yeah yeah i love david tell i love um i like louie and stuff yeah yeah i mean i like louis ck i don't care you can rub one off in front of me bro i don't care i mean it doesn't bother me that much yeah i probably wouldn't right i probably wouldn't lock the door when i was with him but yeah i would i would be i'd be in the same room yeah you know in new york in new york if he did it they'd just look the other way wouldn't they absolutely yeah lock the door when I was with him, but I would be in the same room. Yeah. You know, in New York,

in New York, if he did it, they'd just look the other way, wouldn't they? Absolutely. Yeah. Right out in the middle of the sidewalk. People just go right around you. Right, right. You can do it in front of a hundred people. Come on, let me get out here. I'm not going to the New York Times. I'll tell you that. I know that's right. I know that's right. So, you know, you've been doing standup for what, a decade now? About six years, six or seven years. Six years. Okay. So, you know, you've been doing stand-up for, what, a decade now? About six years, six or seven years. Six years, okay. Now, you know, one of the things I've heard is, or has been said, I should say, is that, you know, it takes about five years to find your real comedy voice. Oh, yeah, totally.

Do you feel like that's about right? Do you feel like it took you a few years to find your actual voice? I feel like I'm still learning. Like, honestly, there's always, like, room to grow. Age is really helpful in standup, which I think is cool. Like the more, like, like I'm not really scared of getting older. Cause I feel like I just like develop more personality every year. Um, I think age is really important time. It's also like when you start standup, you're not being your, you don't have your persona yet. You know what I mean? Like you don't have, like, you're kind of just, like, saying things.

You don't know who you are or what kind of you want to say. So just every year helps with that. No, it absolutely does. And getting older helps because you give less of a shit every year. Absolutely. When you get to my age, you really don't give a shit. I can't wait. It's dirty, I was like.

Trust me, wait. But still, yeah, it is exciting to be able to do that. Yeah. Mike, you know, before you were pursuing documentaries and stuff, what else do you do, man? So, actually, I absolutely adore stand-up comedy. Yeah. And I've been an emcee for about 35 years now.

And a DJ. Okay. So my first gig was 1989 with records. Yeah, where you spin actual records right i just had a residency this last year at the uh arkansas museum of fine arts oh that's cool very cool and i play an all vinyl set you know in the afternoon uh once a week let me ask a dumb question because i don't know do dj still scratch is that still something they do or is that out now records are expensive yeah that's what I thought. I thought, man, that vinyl ain't cheap no more.

No, yeah, they still do. But a lot of folks don't know you actually purchase what's called like a scratch weapon or a scratch disc. So it's a separate disc just to make that sound. It's just got all those different sounds in there like you would on a sound bank on your computer. So they're all on that record and it's about memorization of knowing where those those words are yeah okay and then a lot of times people will uh don't understand that uh what you're hearing when like how it started how turntablism started is getting two of the same record right and just finding a space in that track that you want to listen to that you really love. Like, I love it when the beat does this.

Yeah, yeah. And then you play that, and then at the end of where that beat is, you hit the one on the other record, the break. And then you can dial this one back while this one's going there, and you can keep that juggling that forever. Oh, okay. Forever. You know what?

I didn't know that. That is fascinating, man. That's interesting. So when you're buying two at a time, you definitely don't want to scratch those. You want to throw another one on there so so when you're you know i assume as a dj you blend songs together as they move through right sure uh how does that how do you pick and choose how does that work how do you layer them together you have to syncopate the beats right uh yeah i mean you pay attention to the beats per minute and and ideally what you want to do is be able to adjust the speed, which is on the left-hand side or the right-hand side, depending, next to the record itself.

So there's a lever that goes up and down that can adjust the speed to catch what the other speed is. And then you, quite simply, the easiest transition is to lower the bass on the track you're fading out of and while upping the bass on the one you're going into yeah and then slowly remove the mid and the high okay until you're into the other track okay now let me ask a serious question how many ass whoopings did you get for taking your parents records and scratching them up oh none none thankfully yeah no none because my dad would have whooped that ass i'll tell you that uh okay so how long have you been djing uh 1989 was my first gig at pizza in 1980 at pizza in it was a 50s night uh brought a bunch of chuck berry records and a couple record

players and my first mc gig was uh as mc all you can eat at the mc all you can eat that's right i thought it was a clever thing to put at the bottom of the flyer next to the price it's a very funny thing yeah we were in high school and so i just showed up with a shirt on that said eat me and had a little tequila worm on it and uh i kept it zipped up until i took the stage and that's when i let everybody know that there was no food oh no but we do have beer and we're all in high school so yeah let's just do this were they mad yeah no not at all there's absolutely 300 plus people there that wow so you had a party bumping yeah 1500 bucks in my pocket and yeah felt like this was the coolest thing ever bucks in my pocket right now i

gave it all to the bands that night and i just decided right then that i just wanted to do that forever and so every show i've ever done since then all the money's gone to the bands or the charity that's cool cool so you said you uh you love stand-up uh who was your you know who did you love growing up uh stand-up stars growing up absolutely richard pryor and george carlin yeah um you know i i moved into david tell absolutely he's he's my favorite and uh currently theovon is my favorite oh theo theo is such an interesting character a lot of people don't realize how long he and bobby lee have been around i mean they've been around a long time how long he and Bobby Lee have been around. I mean, they've been around a long, long time.

Bobby Lee was on Matt TV. Yeah. I remember. Yeah, so he's like 900 years old. Yeah. But Theo has really, you know, TikTok, this is the great thing about it. Oh, yeah. It makes a lot of people get noticed

if you're out there a lot. And the way he approaches his linguistics are phenomenal. It's awesome. Well, I mean, he's just authentically himself. I mean, he's really just authentically himself. No, I think that's true. I think, A, I think he probably had a pretty messed up childhood. Oh, he absolutely did.

And, B, I think that he has an unusual way of thinking and communicating, and he just stayed in that vein and developed it out, you know? Yeah, he absolutely did. I mean, he's honestly one of my favorite subjects. He's one of my favorite people these days. And actually, I ended up with a great connection with Theo through podcasting and through his comedy. That's cool. You know, he's over 500-something podcasts now, but back when he was on, like, episode 20, I wasing and his comedy. That's cool. Um, you know, he's over 500 something

podcasts now, but back when he was on like episode 20, I was tuning in and I was listening. And, uh, this guy was doing a podcast in his kitchen now. And so I, uh, I was inspired. Um, it helped take me out of my head and he was talking about things that meant something to me. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. And, uh, so it spoke to me as being really genuine and authentic and I wanted to support his art so I grabbed a couple of friends I decided I was going to go to Nashville I decided since his last podcast I watched he said he wanted to interview people he's thinking about getting some microphones yeah so I had some extra microphones. So I just loaded up a Zoom Handy I was going to give him and a couple of microphones. You said you were going to give him a Handy?

I was. That's what I heard. Zoom. You got to really focus on the Zoom part. The Zoom part. Oh, okay. Zoom in on that. Zoom in on that.

That's just what it's called. Yeah, I get you, man. H4N or whatever. Yeah, for sure. For sure. So, but definitely. know yeah i mean so did you end up meeting him and giving him mics or anything did that happen so absolutely so we went there and i took um my friend adam hogg is a stand-up too and i know that another friend of

mine um sean miller okay uh we we went to um nashville uh to the show i went to Nashville to the show. I went to Zany's, which I absolutely adore Zany's, and watched his stand-up. He was there with Dusty Slay that night. I mean, we were rolling. I was falling out of my chair. I had so much fun. And I'd already messaged him that I was coming. So he invited me to go out afterwards already. And so we went out for mocktails after the show.

And that's when i was like hey man i've got yeah yeah i've got uh these microphones for you and he was like oh man thanks so much but i can't take those from you actually you know that that podcast was a while back i've actually already bought microphones okay so i've got my own but thank you so much yeah and so we kind of started our friendship there and actually we've we've traded emails uh hundreds of times well over the years it's been seven years now and he's gone from like i don't have this email so send him one about patrick and the people mike tell him i need to talk to him i want to he's pretty he's pretty accessible uh believe it or not and he really is

you know i mean of course with his schedule he's not responding to the, you know, the hundred emails. No, I'm sure. A percentage of them, it's really impressive that he does. And the fact that I've gone to see him now out of town about 14, 14 different times I've seen him stand up. Wow, I've never seen anything 14 times except my wife. He got me passes to his Netflix special. So I was there for both days of that. Oh, really? I bet that was exciting. He's got me passes to sold out shows just so i was there for both days of that really i bet that was exciting

he's got me uh passes to sold out shows just pretty much everywhere since then uh he he's hooked me up with passes when he just did the sold out show here at simmons i got four passes that's cool man took my friend aaron redden from the van and my friend x patrick i love aaron with you home i've known aaron for about 20 years now and uh't he awesome? Man, he's one of the greatest humans I know. He's probably out there listening right now. We love you, Aaron. He always has been a big supporter. We've supported each other throughout the years.

My wife hosts Christmas karaoke for the band. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I was in the building last year. Yeah, so we've been involved. I met him 20 years ago, roughly, when we were both on a board for homeless youth in Benton. And we put together a show out there.

Actually, we put together kind of a carnival day and then a show that night. And the carnival, thank God, made money because I booked a badass band. As a matter of fact, they're coming here to the hall. And I felt terrible because 12 people came to see the band. And it was Zozo. They're a Led Zeppelin. They're the greatest Led Zeppelin impersonation band in the world, they say. And it was like watching Led Zeppelin.

So for the 12 of us who were there, it was the greatest show I've ever seen, man. It was Led Zeppelin. It was badass of us who were there wow it was the greatest show I've ever seen man it was Led Zeppelin it was bad ass what night of the week was that how 12 no I know I didn't understand either man it was like a weekend dude man that can happen it's such a tough weird inventing you know because they didn't have a lot of live music inventing at that time you know I mean it was a while back you know and so i think people just didn't understand or didn't get the word out enough the internet wasn't as powerful then so there were a lot of reasons but we it was still a very successful fundraiser because the day part but i didn't feel bad because i was like well guys if you just want to not do it you can uh but if you want your pay 12 people are ready to rock let's go you know and then they did they

put on the show man they they didn't even half step it they did the whole damn show encore and all you know and i was like yeah that's that's my money's worth there if i'm gonna pay you five grand well that's 600 a ticket here so let's get after it you know wow uh so where is the uh the the most crazy place you've ever done standup Stewart? Gosh, crazy place. I'm trying to think. Um, definitely there's, there's like strip clubs that you do stand up in, which is crazy. Now I have never, I've done stand up for, I don't know, 15 years now.

I have not ever performed in a strip club. That is fascinating. It's kind of crazy. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. It's fun. I definitely see the girls and their money, and I think I chose the wrong profession. Yeah, I know. They're over there making it. Thanks, man.

Matter of fact, if you are, by the way, if you are an adult entertainer, a dancer, I'd like to have a couple on the show because we want to actually ask some interesting questions. And, you know, just go to Patrick at Patrick and the people dot com or come over to our Facebook page or one of our other million social medias out there and reach out to us. You know, it doesn't matter where you work at or whatever. Just want to have you on and have some, you know, have lots of interesting questions. It's always interesting to talk to people in different walks of life and they have stories, man. They have stories. You hear me? Yeah, for real. They're inspiring for content. So you performed in a strip club. So I mean, it seems like it's hard to compete for the audience there.

It was rough. You have clothes on. They do not. Absolutely. Yeah, it was rough. It was rough. I'm trying to think other than that. I mean, just some weird shows.

I mean, you're talking about 12 people. I've done way worse than that. Yeah, no. Two people. Yeah. I'll be honest. It's so funny you say that because I used to tell people, they'd say, well, you know, what's it like if you have a small crowd?

I said, well, if you have 20 or 25, it can sound like 75 or a hundred. Oh, totally. If you have seven, it sounds like seven. It's yeah. No, it's seven people. And then you just kind of have to talk to them. You can't like put on, there's no fourth wall when there's seven people. Well, the problem is you run out of your set in 25 instead of 45 because you don't have that big laugh gap. You don't have all that. So because you don't have that big laugh gap you don't have all that so if you don't start talking to people and do some crowd work with your seven or twelve uh you're in trouble right yeah and as a young comic that's a tricky place to be but i was my wife was i was teaching her uh mentoring her in comedy so at that point she was really new to the game. And she was more just hosting and was starting to get some feature in.

And when we got there, and it was about 10 minutes before, and she said, do I have to do this? And we just asked. She said, can I cancel? And I said, oh, hell no. These seven people paid, and you're going to give them the show. You get your ass out there, and you perform. You better give it to them. In fairness to her, she did do that.

She's a much better stand-up than I am, to be honest with you, by far and away. She has this unique ability to connect with audiences. Do you find the crowd work for you, is that a big part of set work for you? Yeah, I do a lot of crowd work. I like it a lot. It's just kind of fun. Reset i control you make people like you yeah i feel like women are good at that too because we can like listen you know i think i think you certainly are probably because you can listen that's hilarious because we can listen um no i i think

it it is true women are particularly good at. I've seen many be good at it. Matt Rife seems to be pretty good at it. Oh, wow. Yeah, I'm a huge Matt Rife fan. Are you really? No, no, no. No, no, you're not. I knew that was coming.

No, I think Matt must have, he had a Tom Cruise moment, I guess. Oh, my God. You know, he went at his female audience a little bit too hard and some of them didn't like it. They were the ones coming out. Those stupid girls were coming out for you and you turned on them. That was crazy. The guy's about to play Madison Square Garden. I thought, you know, look, when I turned on TikTok about two years ago, the only thing on my TikTok was Matt Rife or Tiger King. That was it. It was one of those two were going to show up, you know. Take me back.

And, yeah, we're interviewing Joe Exotic Sunday. No way. Are you really? Oh, yeah. He's in prison, but he gets out in May. But, yes. He's going to come on the Zoom? Yeah.

Sunday? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. I love him. Yeah. Well, it's interesting. You know, he's got a lot going on right now. Oh, my gosh.

Oh, yeah. He's got a, if you love him, love him. I don't know how much you love him. No, I just think he's hilarious. Well, I don't know how much you love him. No, I just think he's hilarious. Well, I don't know how much you love him, but he has now a digital AI porn clone. So they have cloned, they're using his clone image. This guy thinks of everything. And he's in prison making porn digitally, basically.

And so you can check him out and see what his digital Johnson looks like. I'm sure it's more impressive than the real one, I would imagine. Or mine would be if I were doing it digitally. I know that. We're going to enhance it. I believe it. And he's engaged. He's engaged to a Hispanic

inmate there. Wow. Didn't he have two husbands at one point on the show? Yeah, that was great. One without teeth and one with them. But I think the other one got teeth later. He was the nicer one of the two, I think. Yeah.

But that show, I mean, it, look, it, it was, everybody watched it at the same time. It was a,

it's like a mass shared hallucination. It was amazing. We were all trapped inside like the tigers themselves, you know, a little bit. And that was so fun. I just watched the new one, Chimp Crazy. Oh, my God.

She makes Joe Exotic look like the best human on the planet, man. I know. That bitch is crazy. I mean, I can't even say it another way. I mean, cuckoo, blah, blah, blah, you know? Yeah, but it was not the same as Tiger King. It wasn't as funny. It was a little more sad.

Well, it was much more uh sad because she is i you know i was watching it in spoiler alert but i was watching it and you know she's she you know it is talking about the monkey there i mean the chimp they're looking for uh the one that alan cummings worked with once and decided somehow he would be the head of the stock i don't believe for a second alan cummins been thinking about this monkey his whole damn life okay don't believe that he got paid well because he worked with the monkey once they saw it they called him said alan can you help us uh we're pita and he said yep i like pita i'll do it but if you think he's been pining over this damn monkey for 20 years he hasn't okay uh but uh when when they're saying, well, the court said, you know, and she's telling him, oh, well, we killed it.

You know, he died. Yeah. And then immediately the next thing they go downstairs and there's that damn chimp. And I'm like, you understand this is being recorded to broadcast. You just ratted yourself out. I love her. I love her. She's so delusional.

Oh, no. And she's like, we're taking care of them i'm like monkeys don't eat skittles and gatorade and wild man he was putting reese's like whipped cream in their mouths oh my god they got diabetes you know it's just terrible man it's just a bad thing all the way around but a lot of people didn't watch it as much and i feel like it just didn't hit the same way tiger no i mean but what did i mean i mean look joe exotic is the gift that keeps giving is amazing he is i mean look he's he's a force uh if i think look anytime someone is just over the top authentic even if they're a little bit cuckoo okay people love that oh yeah yeah. I mean, when people use their real self and be as authentic as they can.

And that dude was it. When he said, oh, no, I'm much gayer than he is. You're like, no, man, he just said that, man. You know, I'm okay. All right. Yeah. All right. Let's change it up a little bit.

Attention station employees. Adderall is a controlled substance, but it definitely makes you better at your job, which can lead to promotion and making more money. But don't do drugs. Speaking of stand-up, don't you guys adore Dr. Phil? Adam Ray as Dr. Phil. Oh, I just saw them together on stage. That was hilarious. Dr. Phil and Adam Ray.

Awesome. Yeah, I just saw that clip where they were having a little stand-off looking at each other. Yeah, I do like Adam Ray. He's blown up a lot recently. Netflix special is what you just saw that clip where they were having a little standoff looking at each other. And from behind. Yeah, I do like Adam Ray. He's blown up a lot recently. Netflix specials, which you just saw. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in the top ten on Netflix right now. Oh, I believe that.

Yeah, no, you know, this is the great thing about, you know, the equalizer that's the Internet. You know, Hawk to a Girl, we talked about it recently, the second highest rated podcast right now. Now, I'm not going to say she didn't leverage that moment but wow how do you go from spit on that thing to the number two podcast on the planet wow boom like that number two podcast behind joe rogan i have not seen that yeah whoa yeah yeah she jumped way up there what do you what about the paul brothers the Paul. Oh, that explains it. Another thing that Paul's inflicted on us. Thanks, Wayne.

Oh, never mind. I love them. They're amazing. Yes. No, no. I love Jake Paul. I love Jake Paul. I want to podcast.

I love Ron Paul. I mean, well, speaking of the internet, do you use Timu or Sheen or Shine or whatever? Do you order from any of those? No, I don't really do that. I'm an Amazon girl. You're an Amazon girl. Okay. I don't really do that i'm an amazon girl you're an amazon girl okay i don't think i've ordered anything from timo timu i i i like timu i order from it uh now and again and most of the time you get what you order most of the time you do and and surprisingly like i got a pair of dress shoes and i really rolled the bones on them man i was like

you know this this may be you know know, 17 bucks I never see again, but I'll live with it. And, you know, those son of a bitches, I'm still wearing them a year and a half later and I'm like, wow, man, these kids make good stuff. You know what I mean? But let me tell you this. A shopper was horrified after discovering a necklace she bought from Timu wasn't the cute accessory she expected,

but instead an actual dog tooth. Bella Moscadini, she's a TikTok content creator. She shared her shock in a viral video. She showed off this pendant that she got. It was supposed to be a kind of a, it looked like a dog tooth necklace. She said when she got it, she realized it's an actual dog tooth. It was decayed and it stinks and and that's what they shipped her an actual dog tooth necklace can you imagine that that's a little creepy isn't it that's a little bit a little bit creepy yeah you don't expect to

get the actual dog tooth you're like okay you know like in an actual shark tooth it's not well okay yeah uh i i've ordered a lot from timu and uh yeah teeth move teeth move that's what we're calling it now teeth uh and and i've i've had good luck my son orders a lot from him now he he got one thing that was too small now that the first i guess it was maybe uh when sheen came is that what now they say when it first came out, and I think nobody almost uses it now because everybody knows it's supposed to be not good slave labor, basically, that makes it, you know. But when she ordered from him for Christmas, first of all, she ordered it in November 1st. Didn't make it till January 3rd. Number two, when we got it, the larges not my kids are not fat at all they're like

they're thin they are wafey kids you know what i mean they they eat well but they're still thin you know they take care of themselves they couldn't stretch any of them on we had to give them away to kids who were like 10 and 11 oh you know it was so funny it was like they shrunk down it's like damn man they're little people over there, aren't they? They are little people. I started wearing slippers during the pandemic, and I wear them every day now. The dragon's on them and all kinds of ridiculous things. When you say slippers, like house shoes?

They're Kung Fu slippers. Oh, Kung Fu slippers. I just typed that into Amazon and found some slippers I like for $25. And they're phenomenal, you know, just to wear around. But, again, they don't go past the size 45. Okay, a 45. Which is a 10. Oh.

So if you wear a 10 and below, you can get these slippers. But if you have a bigger foot, you're out. Like Bruce Lee kickers, man. Okay, so this is what they kind of look like here, I'm guessing? Yeah, for sure. Hold on, I don't need to spin for a bundle. Spin that wheel, spin that wheel. Oh, my God, look at that.

I got $200. I'm so lucky, yeah. Best prize. You can get 10 pairs of shoes right now. Yeah, look at that, $14.99. They got a nice dragon down the side of them. You can be stylish. Yeah, they kind of look like some Toms or something, I guess.

You know, is that what you like to rock? They're comfortable? Yeah, like I just do the Mr. Rogers thing. As soon as I get home, I just slip into them. But then also they become so normal. Like I'll take a walk for a few miles through the park. Yeah. No, I'm not doing that, I'll tell you.

I'm not taking a walk a few miles anywhere. So now I'm walking slippers and in-house slippers. Walking in-house. Okay. They will not work in the cold. No. Not even with wool socks. Okay.

All right. Let's see what the people are saying. Scotty says, oh, no. Chris says, I have a phobia of pipes bursting. The crazy thing is my son's a journeyman plumber. Go figure. Brandon Griffin, it's in and out. Oh, no, he's talking to something there. Morning, Junior says, good morning. What's up, Junior? Let's see what else. Morning, Tammy. Okay, morning, everybody. Morning, everybody.

Good morning. Yeah, let's move on to something else here. So this is kind of an interesting thing I saw. Wildlife managers in western states are now trying to ward off grizzly bears using drones and blaring heavy metal music with them to scare them away to expand across Montana's northern plains. They said sometimes the noise of the drone is enough, but if not, they fire up the heavy metal on the drone and they're running them down that way. Why are they trying to run the bears anywhere?

Because did they release a bunch more? Is that what they did recently? Do you know? I don't know. I'm having a hard time. I was just processing that we're the bears. That's i was just thinking oh my god we're the bears yeah yeah i know we're all about to happen right here yeah i don't know why they're doing that uh montana's not the only state trying to haze bears oh okay they're trying to keep them away from

people uh that would be great yeah yeah it's a good idea to keep them away from people i think what it is is that whole remember the man versus bear thing I think that maybe just bears become way too popular and too many women were seeking them out Pressure on the bears right now You're not seeing cocaine there. They're just not dating Cocaine bear then I tried to watch that i wanted to watch a wild movie man i i started watching it it was so weird i was like this is not what i expected it's really graphic too man like that really messes some people up

it's bad yeah i don't think i got to that part i think maybe the bear killed one person and i was like i'm i'm not getting enough out of this right now. Is there a movie that you were excited to see and then when you saw it, you went, well, that was not what I thought at all. I thought Cocaine Bear was going to be about gays and Chelsea, so I didn't know. No, that makes sense. Yeah, no, I would have thought that too.

That's perfectly sensible to come to that conclusion. Have you ever had a movie like that that you're like wow that's not what i thought i mean i have but i can't just think of one like blair witch oh blair which was not scary at all a lot of people thought it was super scary i mean they felt like yeah you know it changed it was that scary it changed the game in its own way i mean it it made the found footage you know thing go it's still going i mean it still, I think they're just now coming off of that gimmick

from Blair Witch, however many years ago that was. But it was very successful, but a lot of people hated it so bad. They were so mad about it when they left the theater because they, you know, so hyped up. And you never, spoiler alert, you never see shit. It's just people in the woods, you know, running. Yeah. And then they die, I guess.

I mean, you don't know. You don't know what happened. There were some sticks. Don't forget the sticks. Yeah, there were sticks. There were some cool sticks. It was an interesting time, I guess, for that. But what's your favorite horror movie, Stuart?

Oh, my God. The Substance. Have you seen it? The Substance. No. Tell me about this. Oh, my God. You guys, it just came out this year.

It's amazing. So good. How did I not hear about this? Who's in it? Anybody know? No. Tell me about this. Oh, my God. You guys, it just came out this year. It's amazing. It's so good. How did I not hear about this? Who's in it? Anybody know? You didn't hear about it. Yeah. Demi Moore is the main woman. So the substance is Whippets. Yeah. Wait. What's that? I don't get it. I don't get it. That's what Steve-O was on. She used to do Whippets. It's a drug. Oh, no. I know what Whippets. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. No, I'm cool. I went to Central. I know to do Whippets. It's a drug. Okay, okay.

I'm cool. I went to Central. I know what a Whippet is. I know what Rush is. Oh, wow. That's funny. You have to see it. It's so good. Basically, she's an older actress in Hollywood and gets sent this drug that basically changes her into

a young person for like a week at a time okay and it's kind of body horror it's really gory and it gets a little camp at the end but it's so good and she switches back and forth between it's margaret qually that plays the younger version okay and um switches back and forth it's really it's really nasty it's really scary and then it gets it's pretty funny too okay such a good movie it just came out this year do you prefer uh the more psychological or do you like the slasher type i like a bit of a thriller i don't love a slasher i don't love it um but i like a thriller okay i just saw that movie heretic too that was pretty good yeah yeah it's a good one i like the horror movies it's and i feel like every movie is a horror movie now a lot of them are of them are. Like, they're all horror movies. Yeah, no, it's kind of not untrue. Oh, like, just make a good regular movie. Yeah, it's hard to do that now,

I guess. Right. Mike, what's your favorite horror film? The Shining. The Shining. Oh, you go old school on it. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, that Stephen King adaptation. It's my favorite movie. Yeah. Were you a Stephen King fan growing up as a kid? Did you read his books? Absolutely. Yeah. So that probably was a big thing for you then did you see that first or did you read the books first saw that saw the film first okay and so that probably led you more into the book yeah such an impact i mean it was just it was just so frightening you know yeah and it uh it blended uh everything together perfectly you know the the fantasy part you know uh which is you know the scary part with the

reality of just uh this man going insane yeah and so so it was tough for fantasy to really scare me then uh but the reality would really scare me yeah and so by moving it back and forth between there i actually learned how to be afraid of fantasy again yeah and this has been disbelief you know and and uh really believe in the supernatural yeah no i real impact that's it's interesting interesting it is an amazing story he was he's an amazing writer most adaptations of his work suck uh but that's a good one yeah yeah that's a good one chad what's your your favorite scary movie man i know that you don't just love the scary movies, but you like something. I like Saw, the first.

The first Saw. The first Saw. The first Saw, yeah. I mean, I still felt grimy. After I watched it, I felt pretty grimy. Like, I think just being in that room the whole time, it just makes you feel dirty, you know. But after that, every one of them were, it's like, let's see, can we put someone in a blender? Can we put someone in, you know, can I melt your eye with a hairdryer?

It's just random ways to kill people. And I was like, yeah, this is kind of lame. I think a lot of the impact of that was just what you processed in your own mind while watching it. Yeah. And how you were leaving thinking about, know what you would have could have done to save your life yeah you could have taken your life what you would do for money those types of things absolutely i think the first one the reason it was good is because it did ask all those questions and that's what it made you think after that it was just an excuse to kill more people but

i kind of like the first matrix the first matrix. And I like all three of the first ones. The third one, the least, the second one's pretty good. But the first one was mind-blowing to me. I mean, it was unbelievable, just everything about it. I was like, wow, this is mind-expanding just watching it. Are you at all an action person or no? You're probably not an action. I'm good on action.

I'll see the gladiator one. I like that guy. Which one? Which guy's on there yes am i wrong no i think i don't know you may be right i know denzel's in it okay yeah i don't know what he's doing in it but he's in it i'm not really an action person okay no that's, that's okay. That's okay. It's all right. I saw Wicked. Wicked. Wicked. You've been New York. You were definitely New York, right?

Yeah, that's great. I've seen Wicked. Oh, wow. Do you feel like there's just enough action happening in real life right now? Absolutely. You don't need it. I'm on the MTA with the rats and the cars. I'm getting chased. I don't need to.

I do, but it's New York. So, I mean, you probably, do you live in action? I get jealous of the car chases. I'm like that open road looks good. Yeah, I know. That's right. Yeah, I can hear that. And what is, uh, what do you think for people who go to New York, uh, you know, coming from, you know, here or, or anywhere like in our region is the biggest thing to adjust to? Oh, my God. Definitely scary people in the streets. I also say a lot of people from here go to Times Square. I think Times Square is kind of rough.

I mean, of course, like you need to go there to see the plays or whatever. Yeah. But I say venture out to Brooklyn. We have fun in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is good times. What's different about Brooklyn? Is it more laid back? It's more laid back.

There's more space. There's is good times. What's different about Brooklyn? Is it more laid back? It's more laid back. There's more space. There's really good restaurants. I just feel like when people travel to New York, they do sort of just like a basic Times Square route. And I feel like there's so much more fun stuff to explore. I'll tell you, Vegas has a lot of crazy people out there, too. You know, when you're going up and down in that area, there was a guy yelling at a uh you know those uh covers that cover like the the utility meter on a sidewalk so he's standing there you know it's like a rectangular box basically a metal box he was literally standing there yelling at the metal box

talking to the person inside the box there's no person in the box but he was steadily yelling at him and mad as hell and my sons are like what's going on dad what's going on i said just keep moving just keep moving do not make eye contact and then the people behind us somebody made eye contact and i was like oh shit it's about to go down and he started yelling at him and i was like yeah you shouldn't have made eye contact no vegas is a trip though because you can you go out there and man your feelings are going to get hurt because your money will be gone about an hour after you're there and then you're like shit what am i doing the rest of the three days

quicker if you make the wrong decisions yeah right uh it reminds me i saw uh on the side of your laptop here when you were doing birthday announcements yeah the late rodney dangerfield's birthday today yeah yeah i actually have a rodney dangerfield story from uh las vegas i was at the mgm grand about probably three something in the morning okay uh and uh approached the craps table so when you approach a craps table uh my strategy is to hit about a few people down from wherever the dice are being thrown you know to not look like i'm just going to stand right next to the person throwing the dice yeah so i go in a few people not look like I'm just going to stand right next to the person throwing the dice. Yeah.

So I go in a few people away from that person. So I saw a guy about to throw dice, walked up, threw 40 bucks on the cumber. Yeah. So I'm betting he's going to hit his number. Yeah. He crapped out. And just like all of the energy of the entire table just left everybody. See what you did?

And, well, I wasn't rolling the dice so it's not really my fault nobody's nobody's no right sure i gotta take that i'll take that so so so walk up i'll put 40 bucks on the come line now the guy craps out he leans back to like look around because because it's what you do and i see it's rodney freaking danger wow that'd be cool and and i was like oh my god dude if i'd known it was you there's no way i would have put my 40 dollars on the come line and he's like you ain't kidding me kid i'm never gonna win oh my god and as he walked away from the table right after that that role um some lady recognized him and she was uh older as well and she ran up to him and reached around and hugged him and grabbed an entire ass cheek in her hand oh wow and squeezed it and from

where i was standing i could see it you know like a little muffin yeah like she fit it all in in her hand she was getting herself squeezed it uh at the same time she was doing that a hand came from what i felt like was above uh because there was a showgirl behind rodney yeah i had a huge headdress on it was about eight feet tall with heels and everything and she put her hand on that woman and said oh dear you know better and just pushed her away and we walked off like jesus jesus christ yeah that's that's a beautiful thing it's it's it's it's uh definitely a moment i've remembered my whole life well i would imagine i loved rodney dangerfield he was he was a funny uh very very funny guy yeah that was a great movie in the 80s yeah yeah yeah definitely uh no he

definitely is an icon and he was the you know a great self-deprecating comedian and uh a good example of how that works. You shouldn't put money on him. No, I never would. Except for a ticket. I don't put money on anybody, to be honest, except myself. And I barely can do that anymore because I do this now. All right, let's do something different.

Good night, Mom. Brush your teeth. Aw, man, I don't want them. Are you tired of your dumb teeth? Introducing Meth. Meth, for when you're fed up with your teeth. Just listen to some of our satisfied customers. I have no teeth. My teeth are you tired of your dumb teeth introducing math math for when you're fed up with your teeth just listen to some of our satisfied customers i have no teeth my teeth are gone where's my teeth now i have more room in my mouth for blowies i'll never need to go to the

dentist again isn't it time to get rid of those pesky teeth math ask your doctor if math is right for you and maybe if he knew where you could get some yeah you can ask your doctor if you want to. That's just fine. They know. They really do. All right. Let's see here. Let's talk about this is a really interesting story that is pretty wild. An

asteroid worth 10 quadrillion or quintillion dollars. NASA is trying to catch it. Wow. Yeah, it's worth 10 quintillion dollars. NASA is trying to catch it. Wow. Yeah, it's worth 10 quintillion dollars. That could turn everybody on the planet into billionaires, by the way. Hypothetically, not they would give you the money. They're not going to give it to you even if they have it. But last month, NASA sent a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket to go and probe 16 Psyche. That's what it's called, 16 Psyche. It's one of the largest discovered M-type asteroids.

It's going to travel about 2.2 billion miles to its destination. It's between Mars and Jupiter. But the reason that we're looking at it is because, well, they're always looking for money. It's what rich people do. It's composed of metals that could greatly benefit our economy. As a matter of fact, it would be more valuable than all the economies on the planet simultaneously. Wow. It includes platinum and palladium. Use that in cars and electronics. There are nine metal-rich asteroids known to exist in the solar system.

This one's the largest. That's why they're investigating it. They estimate it has a surface of about 64 000 square miles uh made up of 30 to 60 percent metal so what they want to do is they want to figure out how do we land on this and start mining it yeah yeah and if they can get robotics uh robot type things whether they're you know the robot dogs robot people whatever it's going to be and uh land them on there i'm again yeah then they can mine it when it comes back around they can get stuff off of it awesome yeah i mean how wild is that that they're even

thinking about that same i mean that is some star trek shit right there man that is definitely some star trek stuff what is uh you know one thing that you're seeing now uh mike that when you were a kid you didn't ever expect to see uh honestly i mean the the fact that we're carrying around uh smartphones is a huge thing yeah like i i didn't really picture that i didn't picture all of the different things together you know the the music and the video and the film that we were all not just a communicator like yeah because captain kirk never had music on his communicator i know that he wasn't downloading good hits from uh justin timberlake right uh chad

he's going to the concert in Memphis this weekend. So celebrate him. Yeah, he is. As a matter of fact, if you go over to Chad's page, follow Chad on Facebook. And, you know, he loves to get pictures of Justin Timberlake over there. So he loves to see them all. So just send him some, would you? So you're piercing, not piercing this weekend.

Well, I'm working today, but I'm taking off Saturday. So if you want a bonus piercing this weekend then i'm working today but i'm taking off saturday so if you want a bonus hole you need to come in today me today i'll do you five dollars off oh okay i've got a little patp special right there go in and get five dollars off your uh your piercing today bonus hole yeah that's right that's what i like to refer to it as a bonus hole yeah you have piercings? Ears piercings? Yeah, I just have ears. But sometimes I can't get more than two.

It'll reject it, kind of. Does that make sense? Yeah, I see that. Yeah, like, I tried to get a third one and a, like, top one. And, like, it didn't last. Probably the metals. Yeah. It's a metal.

You have a metal issue. Yeah. I feel like, yeah. So I want to have, like, a whole't do it what can you do for her Chad how can you help her titanium jewelry probably really there you go okay well do I need that rock to get it or I think he's probably got

some at the studio now you come on by today and as he told you he's leaving tomorrow titanium your ear right up are you a piercing guy i got i got four four yeah in your ears yeah two in each ear okay okay i'm glad that's it i know i got real nervous i had a roommate that had one of those oh no i he showed me the night he got home with it no no one's gonna

if somebody showed me that i fell backwards out of the door actually no i'm walking even show me the night he got home with it no no one's gonna if somebody showed me that i fell backwards out of the door actually no walking in i'm gonna tell you you show me that we're not friends anymore okay i don't ever want to see that uh you know if you got it good for you i guess i mean i don't rest in peace rusty fox yeah there's no metal down there for me no no i can't uh i can't get down like that oh my gosh i forgot when i was in college i got this the thing under my tongue pierced what's it called oh the i can't remember i used to know the name of it but yeah yes i don't i don't do that yeah it was so painful it was so painful no of course it's painful it's the thing

under your tongue well no one could really see it right it was kind of like weird now how long do you have it i think i had it for like a year and a half but food would get stuck in it and so then i was just like this is too gross and i had to take it out yeah oh man nothing worse than finding a piece of day old chicken in your teeth uh yeah so uh yeah my wife had her tongue pierced before i knew her uh and uh she said it didn't even hurt that bad i'm like you know you're a liar it's not that bad it's what it's the three days of a liquid diet pretty much is that what it is oh yeah because of the swelling and everything you can't eat hardly anything i can't talk very well yeah now she swears she didn't get it for you know the reasons they're raised as they get it I don't know but but I never even got yeah it

just wants a fidget spinner in their mouth. That's why you do it. Pablo Picasso, I mean Pablo Francisco, if you don't know, he's probably super underrated. He was a really great comedian, and I think maybe some things went wrong

in his career at some point. I think he's back out now, but he has a great set called bits and pieces if you've never seen it you ever seen you know pablo francisco is let me tell you something if you've never watched that stand-up set pablo francisco i'll look at some pieces please take yourself a second to do it uh because man the guy what he can do with voices and and the way he does it is unbelievable i mean he had such a an innate, natural talent that very few human beings will ever in their life possess. And, you know, what went wrong, I don't know exactly.

But I got turned on to him because my wife was at the time dating a comedian who worked with him. And so she was like, you got to watch this guy. He's really good and i've been a big fan since but he has a bit about uh what we were talking about the tongue yeah you know and and because he you ever seen uh police academy michael winslow that makes all the noises this guy kind of does a vein it's different it's his own style but he's talking about the tongue ring on people are always clicking it and clacking it and saying it's so annoying You know to listen to and I I've heard people that click and clack that ring and it doesn't it's annoying as hell

Yeah, I bet it would break your yeah. Yeah. Yeah, probably not good All right. Well, I'll tell you what we need to do. We need to take just a minute and get this band in here So I'm gonna push a button real quick. You won't see us for just a second, but don't go anywhere. We're going to bring them in here, switch some chairs out and then, uh, get a little live performance on. Okay. So just stay calm. you you you All right, so everybody has left my ass. That's what's going on right now. Actually, they're getting ready to bring in a couple of the band members now and waiting on a couple more to get here.

Come on back in. Yeah, have a seat here. Bring these guys in. Come on back in. Yeah, have a seat here. Bring these guys in. Come on in, man. Come over here and slide in over here on the side here. What's going on, Natal? How are you, buddy? It's good to see you, man.

Good to see you. Slide that chair over here. Yeah, you know when you see that red beard, you know who it is. What's going on, my brother? What's up, brother? How you doing, man? What's going on, my brother? What's up, brother? How you doing, man? What's going on in your world today? Well, tell me all about it.

What's going on in your world today? Well. Come over this way a little bit more. Yeah, there you go. We, I guess, got offered to go out with Trickster. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Here, let me get that mic right up on you there.

With Trickster? Yeah. Man, I hadn't heard them in a minute. What's going on with those guys? I don't have the slightest clue. No? So are you going to go out with them? I don't think we're going to go out with them.

No, not going out with Trickster. Okay. We got an offer to go out with Ritz, too. Oh, okay. Which, that would be kind of cool. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like interchange, intertwine the rap.

Yeah, that would be interesting. So you're looking at some different artists you might want to go on a ticket with yeah and i think you know honestly like the the biggest thing is uh it's just crazy it's a journey yeah you don't know you know what i mean you don't know what's going to happen or whatever now if you don't know let me set the table appropriately here uh natal is uh the uh creative creative force and the founding member of dark from day one you know they're a modern progressive rock band who has been you know in this forming in Arkansas and in the region for many many years now how long have you been operating the no I started dark from day one in 2006 in 2006 and uh it has been now wait a minute

let me think if if my math serves me right that means i met you the first year oh you know what it was remember you and mckeown wasn't it on that ticket yeah so there was a band named mckeown at the time and uh they were uh on there and then you guys that is right man i had not forgot about that that is crazy what what year was that god like oh five and like oh five oh wow man man that is a that's a minute isn't it yeah you know it 20 years goes by quickly huh yes very quick damn man yeah fast i can't believe how how fast like right now, too, everything going on in the world, the holidays and everything. It's like, wait a minute, wasn't it like New Year's Eve yesterday? I know, right?

It's got things going on with their families. How hard is it to get everybody on a page where they can do that and make that run? Honestly, you probably have a better chance winning the lottery. Yeah. I think for the most part. that run uh honestly you probably have a better chance winning the lottery yeah i think uh for the most part you know for example like a few guys will be here in a minute uh but you know it's like uh you just do the best that you can on everything now say for instance um like when you're out there normally we have had the the honor of having a tour manager that kind of you know helps hone things in and gets everybody on the same day same time all that yeah um so tell

me you know uh tell everybody about maybe a time where you know through what you do with the band that you had a i can't believe i'm sitting here talking to this person kind of moment and and i know there have been a few for you there have been several i'll tell you one of my coolest well for me like stories yeah so uh we're playing the the second edge fest that we got to do yeah and we're backstage and uh benny paul you know yeah hell yeah pantera is like him and his buddy are growing up some food and he's like red beard i was like hey he's like come over here and eat this chicken. It'll be the best goddamn chicken you ever had. And I was like, Vinnie Paul just told me to eat the chicken. So you ate the chicken.

And that wasn't a euphemism? No. Okay. I just made it up. You never know. So, I mean, that was pretty incredible. You know, just the experiences, too. Like, you know, growing up, watching bands that were some of my heroes, you know, Korn and stuff.

And then even though we didn't play right before them, just sharing the same stage. Yeah. Yeah. You know, how? How does this even happen, dude? So, let me ask, did you eat the chicken, by the way? Oh, yeah, it was good. Yeah, so what did you eat?

Did he talk to you? Did you visit? Bob Silla gave me a couple cold beers, man. Yeah? Did you hang out and talk to the way? Oh, yeah, it was good. Yeah, so what did he do? Did he talk to you? Did you visit? Bob Silla gave me a couple cold beers, man. Yeah? Did you hang out and talk to him for a minute? Yeah, I got to visit with him. I mean, it was very short-lived. Sure, of course.

I was just like, man, you know, I'm excited that y'all came out and everything. It's like, dude, we're happy to be here. This is what we do. We love doing this. Yeah. Who else have you run into like that along the route? I think, honestly, man, probably the longest conversation that I ever had with somebody was Lynn

straight from snot. Oh yeah. And you know, we just talked about life in general. Another one I have with Max Cavalera talked about God trees. Yeah. Okay. They're all about the metal he's like no no god grease that's great that's great oh here we get another one come on in here van slide in what's going on my brother how are you man good to see you nice to see you yeah yeah yeah what's up in your world today man how you doing just waking up yeah no it's early isn't it and then

you had to drive all this way on top of there yeah yeah no it's early isn't it and then you had to drive all this way on top of there yeah yeah no that's exciting isn't it to get up about what uh four and uh get ready and then go jesus what is this for again what do you get me out of bed for yeah no i do it every day i feel you on that yeah four o'clock always feels like four o'clock i promise you that i'm kind of getting with it a little bit yeah it's still it's a little tricky man once you well no you're not going to the gym before you go to work that's the challenge yeah that's a hard one too i can't get sweaty in the morning like that i have to save sweat for the afternoon or evening it's kind of weird because it's a rush like before you go to work if you've done it right you go in you're like yes i can do it today you know the problem seems to be for me

and i don't know maybe it's just my own body but once my thermostat's up it doesn't want to come down for about three hours so i'll just sweat uh for two three hours after i'm at the gym and maybe that's the design maybe that's how you lose weight but uh it doesn't help if you're a salesperson to show up with your pit stain sweated out and you know you're just pouring off your head and stuff well we work in a freezer so oh that is different yeah i could see that you work in a freezer yeah one day i went to the gym and it was it was cold it was like kind of cool out went in and we get out and it's pouring down rain and i'm like lovely and then i

have to go and work in a freezer all day yeah it was fun now why do you work in a freezer we're crazy i guess yeah i don't know kind of pays the bills when we're not doing oh okay fair enough fair enough well i didn't know if you were talking about that that's where you record i'm like are you trying to keep the instruments good what are we doing here you know really good that's how you make the money too i got you again it makes sense makes sense okay they're really flexible they're they're cool with us man yeah that's dope it helps man it really does so how has technology changed the music business in the past uh 20 years natal oh my god how much has it changed your how you approach music how

you write music how you send music how has it changed that it's really good question um you know i think now we have the capability even if we're not at the same place at the same time we can you know of course track stuff send things back and forth uh obviously it's very much a single market you know i mean yeah okay this single was pretty cool what do you got next you know this one was pretty cool all What do you got next? Yeah, this one was pretty cool. All right, let's do it. You know, do you see a trend of people doing less albums and more singles? Is that something that you're seeing more of? Yeah, I think that it is very much the case now. And plus, too, like, say, for instance uh it's almost like we live in an add

society right now so it's like you want to have a compilation of work that is amazing that people gravitate towards yeah but it's like you've got to keep putting something out there right right so so in other words like it you know people people probably don't think about this because it's old. But there was a four-year gap between pyromania from Def Leppard and hysteria, which even in the 80s seemed like an eternity, four years. But, you know, it used to be really common that it was probably a year or two years before a band would put out another album. But now there's always some music coming out.

I mean, because people forget too fast. Now, what about trying to get, you know, because it only takes the right one song on TikTok for everybody to use it. Have you ever tried getting stuff on there or getting people to use it or things of that nature? So we actually have not. However, the label, that's part of their plan. You know, their plan is, okay, you guys got these four.

And they've been really cool, man. I mean, extremely patient with us. But they're like, let's get these four done the way you guys want it. And then we're going to do the TikTok campaign, Spotify. Yeah. YouTube, so on and so forth. Yeah. And if you can get somebody to use like, you know, even in the background of a video, that's that's how I hear a lot of these songs. They'll go for months playing in the charts or i've seen people who've never been charted chart uh because of that kind of thing yeah well it exposes a whole bunch of different types of audiences yeah you know i think it's brilliant from that

perspective and have you found that social media uh you know has been helpful in furthering your music or has it been a hindrance in your music so for us i think it's been very helpful what do you think johnny um it's mixed kind of because if you promote too much then you get that don't spam me don't bother me right right right obviously sure remember when we did the battle for the edge fest yeah yeah we used to be like you know send a vote for us vote for us yeah vote for us and like you get people back don't message me ever again and then you get blocked right and like i feel like it's still it's still kind of word of mouth thing but it's harder to do it now because you can't get people to come out anymore okay well that that

is one i think the challenges that you have with the accessibility to everything now, because it makes it less and less necessary to go in person. Like I was telling to tell on the way here, Marilyn Manson's new CD came out today. That should have been something like, Oh my God, everyone. Yay.

Yeah. Like I'm excited. Yeah. I'm excited about it, but I'm like, I don't know. You know, I'll go,

I'll go listen to all my youtube music and yeah it's it's changed a lot because nowadays you can preview things before you purchase it well right you can do that not only that but you can you can see bands live online you can see you know you can hear their album online i mean you can access everything that you might want to uh before ever seeing the band. And that's something that 20 years ago was not the case. You had to work to find that. They do a good job when bands are doing teasers still and stuff.

Or you do something where you entice someone to want something. And it's like, oh, well, here's a preview of our song. Here's this. But nowadays it's gotten to be where it's all the same it's all the same i mean there's nothing that's really popping for people anymore yeah it's it's it's interesting to watch what takes off and what doesn't what pops off and you know how that works uh it's it's pretty pretty uh interesting when the hot to a girl you know is is you know you work your whole life

to get one song to get viral she says one thing off the cup on a mic and boom there it goes you know and you're going damn man what how did i miss this moment i want to say because it shows like how like just being your genuine self honestly like that's probably the best way to be it's just hard to actually be in that moment to be like okay i'm living life and yeah no it it is you know people we were talking about that earlier about the the rise of theo von uh thanks to social media and so much of that has to do with the authenticity that you know is his unique voice and that's's what people, I think, seek online a lot, either really dumb or really authentic.

And if you're both, God bless you, you're gonna win. I told my wife, listen, I don't mean this in a bad way, and it's probably really a good thing, but TikTok has these algorithms, right? So if you watch something, it's gonna give you more of that. And so the other day, my wife, sometimes we So if you watch something, it's going to give you more of that. And so the other day, my wife, you know, sometimes we watch each other's TikTok because it's different feeds and so you get different things from it, right? Her TikTok, we watched like 12, 15 videos in a row and every one of them were somehow on the

spectrum, you know? And I'm like, man, everybody on the spectrum is on TikTok, and they're all making money. There's a guy named Josh something. I don't remember his name. A world of T-shirts. And he's like, put the fries in the bag, bitch. And this guy, this phrase has taken him to everywhere. So it's crazy how you're seeing a whole new world of celebrity that's and I'll when I watch him I'm almost borderline I don't know if I'm happy or not I don't know if I feel like he's

being exploited or if he's doing great I feel like that's part of the attraction like a lot of people they want to question themselves that way yeah they want that thing that kind of like checks them a little bit yeah that's right yeah that is interest that's a great great observation they they're looking for that that line to figure out where they are and I feel like only authenticity can really deliver that also no that's that's a great that's a really good comment man I dig that now that makes a lot of sense I is frustrating when you're trying to like when you spend a whole bunch of money to do something you're like oh this is gonna be good and then you put it out and it's like yeah yeah and you're like really like someone can go on there and be standing

autistic and say put the fries in the bag bitch i mean i could be rich you know now i'm gonna look this guy up no no world of t-shirts is the name his name is josh i can't remember his last name uh but uh my wife says it all the time but that's one of the people that that she seems to watch a lot and uh just thinks it's hilarious you know and i'm like yeah i mean it's okay you know i mean it's fine but she loves it and and so i guess that that has become a whole section of entertainment in a way. Oh, big time, man. People spend hours. But what it has done is it does help people, I think, who typically wouldn't be able to communicate with others as much to do so.

And it gets them a lot more interaction, a lot more interactivity, a lot more love and hate. That's a really good point there because in a world where a lot of us are just staring at phones all the time people are yearning for more connection right yeah so so there's always going to be an audience uh because of the incredible amount of people that are looking at these videos yeah incredible amount of exposure that they have there's always going to be an audience for your flavor right so so yeah back to that most most people yeah yeah you're right right so you bring that authenticity up there there's going to be an audience for you and if you're authentic

it maybe maybe it provides a little bit more connection for you yeah well where you're staring at a screen that person is being open well right where expressing themselves straight to you in a world where you could not get that otherwise because you're not going to leave the confines of whatever is safe for you and go out to the masses. I mean, you know, most autistic people aren't going out to do stand-up or something. You know, they're not in a band. Well, I don't know. You know, maybe they are.

But anyway, no, I'm kidding. They could be. They could be, could be. But it is a fascinating dichotomy that, you know, you don't know if you feel good about it or bad about it because a lot of the people that she watches are train wrecks sure you know i mean half of the people on tiktok are train wrecks to be honest with you they're they're emotional bags of gas you know they're just waiting to blow you know my girlfriend watches watches the the shit out of out of a lot of those and i'm like what what are you what is that doing for you she's's like, well, someone understands.

I got to, you know. Understands what? Whatever the shit is. Whatever it is. Okay. So, yeah, I mean, because we do, you know, we try to feed ourselves our own validation. You know, whether it's in a news source, whether it's in an entertainment source. I mean, we want to feed and validate our own thoughts and ideas. And I think that's what she's saying is this validates what I think,

you know, and everybody wants to feel like what they think is valid, right? Or at least what I'm going through. Yeah, I mean, what I think, what I feel, whatever. Yeah, what I'm going through, yeah. Well, and a lot of it's like it's not scripted. You're not sitting there like, oh, let's make this video about this. Yeah, that is true. You first and practiced, and then and then like you watch it online

now and you're like oh my god that happened i will say this i i have for the first time in my life i found some amount of disconnect uh between me and some of the newer stuff because sometimes my son who's 22 will show me a video on tiktok that he seems to think is hilarious yeah and i'm like i don't even understand why that's funny to you. What is that? It just doesn't even make sense. But he thinks it's the funniest thing. So I'm starting to notice a little bit of a differential

in some of the humor turns that are happening. I'm trying to catch on to it. But sometimes it's like, I don't even get it, man. But, you know, look, people love the movie Dumb and Dumber. Like, it's one of the most popular comedies of all time. And I love Jim Carrey so much. Do not like that movie. My wife, I'm forced to watch it sometimes by my wife.

And I pretend like I like it, you know, because it makes her feel good. And I'm not sitting there going, this sucks. You know, because you're kind of a dick if you do that, you know. Although if I tried to play The Matrix, she'd be like, this sucks you know because you're kind of a dick if you do that you know um but although although if i tried to play the matrix she'd be like this sucks you know i'm not watching this shit thing ever no but you know guys have to watch that shit so we we do uh but yeah it is a humor is very relative uh to people you know and that's why so many comedians resonate differently, uh, across the board. Who's your favorite comic, man? Oh man. That's, I know it's an unfair question. Name one of your favorite comics. All right. So, so I recently I started watching this guy who is, uh,

he has a terrible speech impediment and, uh, you see what I'm saying, people. Okay. I'm saying this cause it's relevant. And I saw this very recently and very recently and uh you know i don't remember his name but i'm sure you can look up retarded comic guy i'm not sure you can google that anymore i don't know if that's okay hold on let me just the guy the guy really leans into it and yeah but he's he's never clever he's very clever and he he what i think the funniest thing about this guy is he tickles himself. He starts laughing. You know what I'm saying? And it's just one of those pure comic moments where the guy's just tickled,

and it just makes everyone laugh. But he's truly funny. But his speech impediment, you know, he's got a strong hand. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You know? Yeah. I don't remember his name.

I hate that note right now. The T-Rex arm, yeah. I'd love to remember his name i hate the t-rex arm yeah i'd love i'd love to say his name right now because he's just a badass dude okay interesting remember his name how about you johnny who's your your favorite comedian right now or one of them um i don't even know honestly like i do you laugh at all bro every now and then are you just sad or just morose all the time it's funny because like when me and tina started dating um we were watching uh stepbrothers yeah like we fell asleep greatest comedy movie of all time she told me she goes you woke up in the middle of the night and it was part it was during the dinner scene when yeah family's breaking up

and she's like and you got up and you just like what like just started laughing at it because it was like it was like in the middle of the night and that movie cracks me up like no that is my favorite comedy of all time is step brothers they need to make two but don't screw it up i don't know man that's a tough one there it's yeah man it's hard to go back for that magic that that's like anchorman i do like anchorman too but man it's no not anchorman it's kind of like beetlejuice like i haven't seen the new one because i'm scared to see the new one i you know i like the first one so much that i'm i hate to see it and it not be as good as i want it to be uh like they did a new matrix and i was like yeah this is all right it's trash um to be honest with you it's just a remake

it's just another way to do it and i didn't i didn't love it i watched it two times and i was like what the hell what is this yeah what is like a bunch of cut scenes there's only so much you can change the a core concept that's built around one thing that's what it's built around man the blue pill yeah you know i was like are the Wachowskis broke now? Do they need some money? I mean, why are they even doing this? This story doesn't need to be told. The whole story isn't.

It can be sold. I mean, sold and told is two different things. No, that's true. True enough on that. True enough on that. Do what now? They're like, how can we capitalize, know for this yeah probably so uh-oh look look at this we got a fourth member of the band today this could be a fortuitous sign this is it
