I'm sure it you know her from the fine film She Made Us Lesbians. I don't know what that means. I'm sure it's a great, great film, though.

Classic. Yeah, no, absolutely. Let's see. In 2005 and 2011, Sony tried its hands at PlayStation handheld consoles in the form of the PSP and the PlayStation Vita. Now, sources are claiming they're ready to give it another go. Vita. Now, sources are claiming they're ready to give it another go. Supposedly, the handheld is being developed and could

run PS5 games natively. They already have that. Do they? What is it? Oh, gosh. What is it called? But I know it's some type of thing. Like, you have to have the PlayStation 5 in order to do it. Yeah. But it's some type of controller thing, and you can just

remote it to your PlayStation and take your PlayStation 5 in order to do it. Yeah. But it's some type of controller thing, and you can just remote it to your PlayStation and take your PlayStation 5 with you. I'll find out. Well, maybe PlayStation doesn't make that. I don't know. There was some kind of a remote way you could do that years ago. Yeah. Like, you could take your laptop to town as long as you had good internet at home and

where you were at. Yeah. You could play on your PlayStation from wherever you were. Wow, that's interesting. Hmm. Lyle Menendez's wife, Rebecca Sneed, announced separation after 20 years of marriage, saying it wasn't due to a cheating scandal. She posted on his Facebook account, said they've been separated for a while,

but said there's no bad blood. They're still best friends. She's committed to supporting him and his brother's right and fight for freedom. The announcement comes at an important moment because they're set for a significant hearing where their lawyer will seek to reduce their sentences, reclassify their convictions from murder to manslaughter. She said her unwavering support and belief, or he said her unwavering support and belief is something he's grateful for.

I don't know. I guess they're going to get out. I don't know. I guess they're going to get out. I don't know. I'm not exactly sure. Sounds like it. Yeah, it does appear so. And if the documentary is accurate, I mean, look, you've been in there a long time, man.

Yeah, we did watch that documentary on Netflix. It was good. It's interesting, isn't it? I heard that the holdup was like the district attorney or somebody. Yeah, they just changed DA. They got to get a new one, yeah. People in Miami may want to pay close attention to their spouses this winter, according to new research from Ashley Madison.

The controversial dating service for married people has just come out with their list of top cities for cheating during the winter. South Florida is number one, by the way. While you might roll your eyes at any research from Ashley Madison, they are at least experts in that area. Let's see. The dating site looks at which cities have the most sign-ups per capita for new members to find out the places where adultery is most likely. So it turns out Miami not the only place.

Orlando was second, followed by Vegas and Tampa. A lot of banging in Florida. Further down the list, some winter hot spots like Spokane, Denver, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. Richmond, Buffalo, St. Paul. Hey, Arkansas didn't make the list. That's good. That's good.

Let's see. Just hours after special counsel Jack Smith asked a judge to dismiss the election interference case against President-elect Trump, that is exactly what happened. The judge dismissed the election interference charges against Trump without prejudice, meaning he could be tried for charges after leaving the White House. Smith moved to dismiss the appeal of the classified documents case against Trump. Special counsel asked that both the prosecution in the interference case and the appeal case continue against his co-defendants. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, the top federal prosecutor in New York, announced yesterday he plans to resign.

December 13th, Edward Y. Kim as deputy will become the acting U.S. attorney after he's gone. Williams had been overseeing the prosecution of New York Mayor Eric Adams, Sean Diddy Combs, secured convictions against Robert Menendez, Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, cryptocurrency mogul Sam Bankman-Fried. President-elect Trump already announced his plans to nominate his former Security and Exchange Commission head, Jake Clayton, to the position. President Biden gave the gift of freedom to two turkeys yesterday. Well, I think that's what he said. I wasn't sure I watched it. It was a lot of garble, but, uh, I'm pretty sure he was pardoning the turkeys, uh, peach

and blossom. And, uh, he joked there were over 2000 people at the event. Most of them wanted a pardon too. Might be true. I don't know. Uh, the former sheriff of Letcher County, Kentucky pleaded not guilty to upgraded charge of murder of a public official during an arraignment hearing yesterday. He's the guy who was accused of shooting that district judge, Kevin Mullins in the judge's chambers. That was in September.

A grand jury indicted him. Um, before that he had pleaded not guilty. Judge Julia Adams decided yesterday to keep him in jail without bond because of safety concerns. Yeah, if you're the sheriff and you walk into the judge's chambers and you smoke him, you might be a danger to the community.

Jesus. Macy's reported stronger than expected sales for the third quarter, but held off on releasing its full quarterly results. Department store chain said it found an issue connected with delivery expenses. An independent investigation found a single employee intentionally made erroneous accounting errors to hide up to $154 million from the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of this year. They don't believe they had any impact on the company's cash management.

Yes, somebody was trying to embezzle money and was trying to park it yes and got caught skim some off yeah they were trying to go uh what's the office space on them yeah remember he rounded it up have you seen that movie office space oh yeah that's a classic man uh let's see starbucks a cyber attack on the software maker Blue Yonder last week, has had Starbucks with fits. The company said this attack is interfering with its ability to track the hours of baristas and manage their pay. The software that fell victim let Starbucks employees view and manage their schedules,

account for work hours, and so on. The dictionary.com has named the 2024 word of the year. It is demure. The announcement of that selection yesterday on the platform's website said that part of the word of the year isn't just about being popular. It revealed the story. Well, I'm not reading all that bullshit. Demure is just a big word online. It's been all over TikTok and Instagram. I saw a coffee shop in Conway yesterday. Demir Coffee. Oh, no.

Really? It was like, man, it caught on quick. Nothing like riding a Johnny Cum lately, huh? They did a skit on SNL about just that word. Did they really? Yeah. Oh, wow. I'm just paying what everybody had this morning that couldn't drive on the interstate.

Oh, my God. You too. We were just talking about that. I'm glad somebody agrees. Once you get past Conway, it's a different country. No, you're right about that, man. Just going to Conway drives me crazy or back and forth on the freeway. Is it just me or does it seem like the Texas license plates are a whole new breed?

No, Texas used to be the fast drive and get out of your way people, man. Listen, they come through Arkansas going 100 and daring you to pull them over. Right. Uh, now man, there's something happened, man. They got weak over there. Dude. It's like they. Embarrassing.

Right. They don't have demure coffee. Uh, on the first day of Michigan's deer hunting season, a hunter in Emmett township called 911 after he noticed a man looking suspiciously at his ATV. Turns out that man wanted by authorities. Earlier that day, the suspect involved in a hit and run where he rammed into a vehicle his girlfriend was in, causing a multi-vehicle crash. After the crash, he fled into the woods where the hunter spotted him. Thanks to the tip, Michigan State Police located, arrested him without incident.

They expressed gratitude to the hunter for promptly calling 911, which helped him trap him down. Hey, here's a good story. Columbia, South Carolina, grandmother Adele Davis recently faced a terrifying situation when her two-year-old grandson began choking in the car on the way home from a doctor's appointment. Noticing him gagging and struggling to breathe through a rearview mirror, Ms. Davis stopped her car in the middle of the road, turned on her flashers, and performed CPR. She said she felt helpless cars were speeding by, no one stopping to help, but a local social worker

was driving to pick up her kids from school. I need her regime. She stopped, saw him in distress and parked her truck to block traffic and took over. She called 911, continued CPR. The toddler started breathing again right before the paramedics arrived to take him to the hospital. Now recovering. Davis said that regime is an angel and expressed gratitude. That's a good story. That's a good story.

Yeah, it is, man. Yeah, man. Good story. Hey, if you decided to wait until it was streaming to watch it, good news. Beetlejuice is going to premiere on December 6th, followed by a cable debut on December 7th. The sequel reunites the original stars, Michael Keaton winona rider katherine o'hara um it earned about 450 million worldwide so it you know it did pretty good didn't do as well as they probably

wanted but it did pretty good i haven't seen it it was a fun movie was it yeah it was fun how did it you know i would call beetle geese a perfect movie yeah it's kind of this one fit uh i'll give it an eight. You know, nothing beats the original, but it was fun. It was that good? Yeah. Yeah. Really?

I gave it 10 minutes and then said, all right, I'm done. Oh, really? No, you were out all day. 10 minutes? Yeah, dude. 10 minutes isn't very long. ADHD at its finest. Okay. No, 10 minutes, I was done.

Andy, you watched it or care about it? No, I don't have time to watch a movie. Are you kidding? Okay. I'm farming, too. Fair enough. I've got 60-something thousand turkeys on the facility. I'm not watching a movie.

Man, they don't watch movies there? They don't have cable? No, not yet. We're working on it. Okay, that's good. Maybe you'll see a movie then. It's government money. Yeah, no, no.

It's the Trump cable. The caramel apple empanada is back on the Taco Bell menu. If you're a fan, it was big in the 2000s. You know, it's the empanada with apple pieces and caramel-flavored filling. $2.99. It's out there for you if you want it. So congratulations. McDonald's is, see, they've came to their, everybody's coming to their senses about the same damn time, and it's good to see.

There's a new McDonald's value platform coming. It starts January 7th, the McValue. It will include the current $5 meal deal, along with some other food and drink deals, some in-app offers, a new buy one, add one for a dollar on breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The president of McDonald's says, look, when it comes to value, we know there's no one-size-fits-all. We work with our branch. It's a lot of blah, blah to say, hey, we put some deals in here, so you'll come back because you left.

Because the prices went up too much. Dude, I was like a couple weeks ago, I went and got that steak, egg, and cheese bagel on my way home yeah just the meal for myself was like 15 it's it's pretty intense right now stupid yeah no it's it's pretty intense right now it's definitely not worth it by any means disclaimer at the bottom may cause dizziness gonorrhea diarrhea yeah all that would be good wouldn't it uh Let's see. Let's get into some sports that you might give a damn about. First of all, Jake Paul's pissed off. Who cares?

But he is. He's still getting negative vibes from the fight against Tyson. Fans and conspiracy theorists still claim the fix was in. Well, he felt the need to respond and said both fighters, in good faith, performed to the best of their abilities with a goal of winning. There were no restrictions, contractual or otherwise, around either fighter. Each boxer was able to use his full arsenal to win the fight. Yeah, some people had said, and I heard this,

that Tyson wasn't allowed to knock him out in the first round or wasn't able to hit him in the head. And that he hugged him in the second round, and when he pulled he asked him if he wanted if he was sure he wanted to make the money and yeah all of that uh is crap look the fact of the matter is that uh tyson's old uh he looked old he was old and you know god love him he's still you know the the group you know baddest month on the planet yeah uh but no he just was all you got his ass beat don't you love how everybody all of a sudden becomes a boxing expert oh yeah no dude he could have done that like how many boxing matches have you watched i didn't know

you were that into it yeah no they they aren't they don't know what they're talking about most of the time i did hear somebody offered him like 120 000 to show up in some assless chaps though yeah he won that christmas party wasn't it yeah this is a real thing he just got 20 million dollars i don't think he needs that i mean yeah he's probably not going to show up in assless chaps he might do it because he wants to but not for that amount for 120 i'm available yeah chaps or no chaps bring the turkey. I can get a babysitter.

Yeah. The college football season notable for the number of fans making ridiculous tattoo challenges if their team loses and then not following through. In one instance, a Tennessee fan said he'd get a tattoo of Billy Napier's face on his ass if Florida beats LSU, Ole Miss, and FSU. Well, two of those three have happened. And the trifecta could be Saturday when Florida and FSU meet. The needle will be ready.

We'll have to see if he's going to own up to what he said that he would. And Charles Barkley making it clear he hates the way the Lakers are handling Bronny James' rookie season, saying it's stupid. The round amount of rebound went into an appearance on The Better Angle over the weekend after he was asked if he liked the G League plan for LeBron's oldest son. If he missed it, he's been playing home games for the South Bay Lakers before joining dad's squad for road games.

He said the whole thing's awful. If he were in charge, it would have been different. He said he's not ready to play in the NBA. He should be in the G League, period. And it's true. You know, look, if you're LeBron, you have that kind of pull. And that's what he did. Whatever. But you wasted a draft pick, or whatever it is. Yeah, he's not good yet. And I don't know. I mean, he's okay. And he may eventually be a great role player. I mean, he's not nearly as tall as LeBron. He doesn't play the same position.

You can't really compare him. But he's not going to be the force his dad's been, I can tell you that. Inside the NBA will live on despite TNT being on the verge of losing NBA rights for the foreseeable future. The news broke last week. ESPN had worked out a deal to acquire the NBA show. Here's the interesting thing. Charles Barkley was pissed off.

Basically what happened is they got traded. Nobody told him over at TNT what was happening. Then he got a message from ESPN saying, welcome to ESPN. And he's like, I feel like I just got traded. That's exactly what happened. He said, if somebody was going to trade me, I would appreciate them at least giving a heads up. You know, I wouldn't let them hear about it from other people on the Internet. So, yeah, he was not happy about that.

You know, you would think after all that they put in that they would do a little better than that for them. Because that's definitely one of the best commentating shows there is of any sport. Any sport, if you like it. Alright, let's do something different, shall we? Attention station employees. Management has cut down your lunch hour to 23 minutes. No extra time will be given for pooping. Thank you. Employees, management has cut down your lunch hour to 23 minutes. No extra time will be given for pooping. Thank you.

Now, Andy, so tell people, let's talk about what you do. Hey, will you put that, just don't put it on the desk, only because it puts a fuzzy sound in the mics. All right. Otherwise, you're good. Tell people what you do and where you're at. so i am in johnson county western johnson county i have got a uh poultry facility we we produce uh butterball turkeys on my facility and uh that's just uh part of what i do i'm also a volunteer firefighter first responder all that good stuff so yeah got my hands full most of the

time but gearing up getting ready for thanksgiving yeah i bet it's got to be a busy time huh yeah got to produce a couple extra turkeys yeah i'm sure you do does it ramp up uh this time of year do they do more or is it there is a lot more done not necessarily on my end but from the process and plant perspective they go into what they call fresh season, and they run the plant 24-7 for nearly a month. Yeah. You know, just trying to get everything, all the shelves stocked and all that good stuff. Now, you said at your facility you manage about 200,000 turkeys. Is that right?

In a year, yeah. That's a lot. We run between 65,000 and 70,000 at a time. And we keep them for, you know, know 11 12 to 13 weeks sometimes okay we do that three four times a year just kind of depends on how it falls yeah yeah now you know you put all these turkeys in how do they get them out it's a it's an elaborate process uh they bring them to us they're just little bitty yellow fuzz balls my kids kids call them fluffies. Yeah. We named them all fluffy. We had 70,000 fluffy. Yeah. We raised that up to a 14, 15 pound turkey. They come back with semi trucks and load them up. Yeah. Okay. It may take one and a half semi trucks to bring them to us as

little birds and it can take up to 30 to get them back out. Wow. Well, that is a big difference, man. How long have you been doing that? We built my farm during the height of COVID right as everything got started. We just got all the paperwork and the money side of it done and COVID hit and we were, oh no. Oh, I bet, man. It looked like we were about to be in trouble, but we managed to pull everything off, get everything built and got fired up and in production in September of 24. Wow. That is pretty amazing to be able to do that. And so you're doing pretty well then. Yeah, doing good. I love it. Just like anything else, good days, bad days.

What's a bad day in the turkey business? If you're dealing with any kind of sickness or, you know, there's like right now we're out of birds, we're empty. And that's really when there's a lot of work starts. Yeah. Everything's got to be pressure washed and cleaned out and set up. And that's really when there's a lot of work starts. Everything's got to be pressure washed and cleaned out and set up. And that's where the most of my work comes from. It's more of a vacation when birds are there as long as nothing's gone wrong. And then there's mechanical issues, cables break, fans quit working, electrical issues, feed line management and maintenance. And there's times it can be a nightmare i bet i bet

now you say you also are a volunteer firefighter and uh paramedic basically first responder first responder yeah we're we're the first ones on scene something happens uh yeah i'm a member of rural district four johnson county shout out guys uh yeah thank you for your service yeah and uh then i'm also uh active with johnson county emergency management on search and rescue yeah there's a lot of things we do there a lot of training opportunities has really got me interested in search and rescue the it opened the door to be able to do a lot more things how about got some storm spotter training uh i run the uh hartman arkansas weather uh group on facebook We cover weather for four counties,

kind of in the gap between Fort Smith and Little Rock. We don't have a whole lot of coverage in that area. It's a lot of the news stations out of Fort Smith will drop off about the time that the weather gets to us. Yeah. Oh, by the way, tornado warning for Clarksville. Now back to Andy Griffith. Yeah. Right.

And I'll try to bridge that gap. Okay. That's between, I think we're right. And I try to bridge that gap. Okay. We've got between, I think we're right around 450 members in that group right now. We picked up a couple of paid sponsors. Shout out guys, B&B Sales, Clarksville, Circle S Filters. They help us cover some of the costs for running that. That's awesome, man. That's great.

That's great. And as you know, now doing this, if you're trying to reach people at all, there's always somebody who's got their hand out wanting money. Oh, well, that's certainly true and as you know now doing this if you're trying to reach people at all there's always somebody's got their hand out wanting money oh well that's certainly true right yep so uh instead of just coming out of my pocket uh to try to provide something to the community we've had some sponsors jump in that really help us out that's great that's great i try to advertise for them and try to get them some business well that's good hey we kind of do the same thing right here you know that works out real well so uh you're right in good company well let's let's I try to advertise for them and try to get them some business. Well, that's good. Hey, we kind of do the same thing right here. You know, that works out real well.

So you're right in good company. Well, let's just fire the morning up and talk about something fun. This is kind of crazy, but it's been confirmed in the past few weeks that Britain's biggest swinging festival is set to return in 2025, everybody. And that's not monkeys either, is it? No, no, not at all uh the x-rated sex event known as swing-a-thon will be back next year uh this year's event took place over four days from july 18th to 21st brought in a record number of people uh it's hosted in a village in the british countryside over a thousand people bought tickets to the fourth edition. Those tickets went for a little over $300, $350 a pop.

Now, shared pictures on social media revealed how the event was from the inside, featuring several adult activities for attendees. for attendees. There were rules in place such as an equal gender mix, no phone policy so people can not get videoed or photographed while they get their ass in the air or whatever. The success of Swingathon has brought it back for the fifth time according to the Instagram account which dubiously says coming soon. Better than later. Yeah yeah i guess so you're right uh they say revealed that uh 25 percent of our glamping tents have already sold book yours now so a glamping tent uh on offer at swingathon consists of two double beds in a uh a five yard tent including mirrors solar lights cushions and uh more in the price. They even allow you to pick the tent you like the most on their website,

which will be decorated with colorful rugs. That's super nice. Fans of swinging, which involves swapping partners with other couples, and you know what's going on. It says, for newcomers or those who are curious, what does the festival actually consist of well it uh doubled 2024 doubled the previous year they expect it'll happen again but it celebrates um fetishes kinks and whatnot they say it's more than just a sex festival

well of course yeah yeah i wonder if we can get Mike Tyson there for $120,000. I'd probably go there free. Some of the activities this year include play tents, pole dancing, hot tubs. Pin the butt plug on the donkey. Maybe. Phone parties, mobile dungeons, hey, and even butt plug bingo. Hey, see, there you go. Plug bingo.

Bingo. Sign me up, Patrick. I'm not sure how that works. Let's think about that for a minute. How would butt plug bingo work, Bundy? I wouldn't want to win. No, you didn't. I'm going to split that one out.

Is that a blackout card? How does the little free space in the middle work? Yeah, you know what the free space is. They describe themselves as an adult alternative lifestyle event. The organizers incorporated a similar festival into, well, it doesn't matter, this other festival. But it says they'll be pleased to hear that there's going to be competitions like drag and burlesque, sensual massage. Locals are not real happy about it, by the way. They don't love this once a year event. Yeah, they feel like they come over there, they act crazy,

and they leave a bunch of trash. But aerial shots of the above the setup showed 1,000 people have traveled to the event, and they're worried that residents will be kept awake by the moaning great man I mean what this is just a fascinating I mean can you imagine having to go in and rent out somewhere for that event and tell them what you're doing yeah I mean that's gotta be a little tricky so the price of admission just isn't hot I want it to be a little expensive and have more than the camping tent you definitely want to not have anybody come and that price doesn't bite most anybody does yeah yeah that's that's the problem isn't it with swinging

is that they need to at least be as or more attractive than you are yeah right now isn't isn't it true don't they do that on cruise ships? I don't know. Oh, okay. I didn't know. What kind of cruise are you going on? I've never been on one. Oh, okay. You sounded like you might know. I didn't know. Carnival Pineapple Cruise. I've seen people put pineapples on their doors

on cruise. I've seen that before. So, isn't it true that you and Laura were approached by some swingers at one point? I don't remember this. Yeah. They mistakenly, they were inquisitive, I'll say that. Ladies and gentlemen, story time with Patrick. Yeah.

This is back when we were, you know, doing stand-up all the time, and we had done a show at the old Khalil's on Shackleford. Oh, yeah. And it was a packed house, man. I mean, we had a great show at uh the old khalil's on shackleford oh yeah and it was a packed house man i mean we had a great crowd it was a sellout crowd and but there was one table in the back of 30 people and we were like what is going on with this table man what is happening here you know and uh the way we've always done it is uh during the show before we'll go around each table talk to people visit you know i kind of shoot the

bull yeah just kind of you know uh touch base everybody thank them for coming out and all that and so we we come to find out that this was a table full of swingers and they had come because apparently we had talked about it uh on air and whatever story i was sharing uh because you were too enthusiastic i'm reading the story you know from whatever i've got textually uh but apparently the words i used were some kind of bat signal it was like you know it was like a special secret audio pineapple. Blink twice, Patrick. And so they, because of what I had said, they thought for sure that we were swingers. And I was like, man, I hate to disappoint you, but no, I'm not. But we were flattered, you know, that you're interested, but no. But it was interesting because we sat down with this one couple, right? And they're probably, man, I guess they're in their late twenties, early thirties. Right.

And, uh, we're just talking to them about their night. You know, they're all excited. They're on a date. And then we came to realize that these people are married, not to each other. Oh, they were on a date and their spouses were somewhere else on a day oh and i'm like wow that is uh that's interesting right there how does the night end i mean do you do you go home together do you all pile up in a big pile what how does this work out but they uh they had their own little dating life thing going and then they'd get back together i guess it worked for them yeah that's what that is i'm their own i'm too jealous for that i'll be honest with you i'm not a i'm not a good sharer in that way i'll share a lot of things that

ain't one you know sure yeah that's right they're texting the other one the whole time so how's your date going yeah no they were yeah word of god, no, they were. Yeah. Word of God. Really? No, no, they were. They were absolutely doing that. Oh. It was crazy. No, I had never seen anything like it. I mean, it was fascinating, you know. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, hey, man, I want to give a couple shout-outs on Facebook here. Okay. A couple people have been commenting. Well, go ahead. So we were talking about PlayStation earlier. Mm-hmm. It's called the PlayStation portal is the gaming device apparently okay okay okay um what's up to uh nick marshall wendy um cj's listening alex johnson

a good question though where was it mitchell rudder he says uh how do we all notify of potential music guests now i know they can get the calendar from the Celine thing, right? Do they want to be notified of who's coming or do they want to become a guest themselves? If you just want to know who's coming, well, you can go to patrickandthepeople.com. That's where I took that as they were wanting to come on the show. But if they're wanting to be a guest, then you can email me at patrickandthe the people.com real simple, real easy. Just email us and we'll, you know, take a look at it and get with you and see about getting you on the schedule.

We want to have, you know, bands in here all the time and don't, don't feel like it's only rock. I mean, we're open to any genre of music. If you're good, if you suck,

well, if you suck real bad, maybe maybe but if you're just kind of in that middle and you suck i don't care but but if you're really good or really trash uh we're interested you know that's that's how we roll here uh also a shout out to uh mike woodall good morning to mike and latasha uh good morning to the lovely jamie bundrick yeah what's up yeah uh good morning james uh good morning uh tina and uh wendy you mentioned they are both um on the inside club yeah yeah they signed up and so uh those folks who have done that uh who uh it's five dollars to join the patreon you get your choice of either a coffee cup or a pair of shot glasses and then you'll get videos

like pre-show post-show videos we ask questions about things we should do on the show we're about to set up a chat line where you can chat directly with us during the show uh specifically and some other fringe benefits that come with it too that are pretty cool so look five bucks man it's a good thing uh might be a great gift for somebody yeah you know sign them up get them the coffee cup or the shot glasses and then it'll come with a little form if you want to order more uh our buddy chad uh you know the bonus hole maker he makes these things i don't know if i like that title he gives everybody bonus holes man wouldn't that be bonus hole decorator also it could be yeah

exterior decorator getting longer and longer yeah no it is uh let's see um latasha said she worked at a sex shop for years and was surprised how many swingers were there it is a surprise actually when you find out uh and it's I think a lot of well I don't know I can't even say that there's just a lot of folks out there doing stuff yeah you're right it is very surprising when you find out you know. It's a whole secret community. It's not seems to be less secretive. More people are open and have open relationships. I don't think it's so secret anymore I think they're all doing everything online and you're seeing it in real time so victoria doesn't have a whole lot

of secrets left no i don't think i think we're past the the lingerie phase i think we're right in to take clothes off and do weird things with the items you know what i'm saying as long as it's not victor's secret oh well i mean i i wouldn't go there uh you know somebody might i'm not going no i'm definitely not interested well you know hey speaking about secrets i know we just announced it a couple days ago officially but it's been being worked on behind the scenes for a little while but man i'm looking forward to this uh arkin brawl that's coming up no it's this is a big thing and uh it's really cool that we were able to do this. And I give big credit to Rich for helping organize everything and pull everybody together

because, you know, based on what he does, which is announce all kinds of fights all over the place, MC, host, whatever, he does all that stuff, you know. But he knew all of these different divisions and wrestling throughout the state and he reached out to four of them and said hey you know would you guys like to combine forces and do an event at the legion scaffold broadcast studio center and uh they all said yes so we're gonna have arken brawl which is four different divisions, right? Right, four different promotions. Yeah, and each of them will have two fights, two matches. Is that right?

So we'll have eight matches right here. We're setting up a ring in the building, and we're going to have hot dogs and stuff, and it's free. It's absolutely free. Nice. So, yeah, you just come out, have fun, and enjoy some wrestling and enjoy some free food, get to see the studio. Andy, what did you think when you came in and saw the studio?

Man, this place is like a spaceship. It really is, isn't it? I've always wondered, and I know everybody else does too, your little switch panel, what's on the back side of that on your side? Here? Yeah, if you're looking at it from the camera side. Oh, yeah, you just see the back, yeah. My OCD kicked in. It's like, man, is that a touch screen? Does it have buttons? Is it labeled?

Well yeah, you can see if you look here it says camera one, pat cam, cam three, cam four, ramp cam. And then it's various things like the intro or if I just wanted to do, for example, I might just push this. That's one of your favorites. Yeah, it is. Or, you know, I might just. So it's got all these different things on it, man, that I can do. Here's something I can do with it. Check this out.

This is pretty cool, huh? You know what? As a real estate agent, putting you with the right mortgage person is critical. One of my favorites to work with is Josh Taylor at AMC Mortgage. And I'll tell you why. A lot of guys out there are stiff. They treat you like a number. Josh treats you like a friend. He's going to work through with you on everything you need. Look, he just got a pair of my clients into a home with $500 total. Yeah. Paid the closing and the down payment costs all covered in there.

Check him out. Give him a call. 351-2579. It's Josh Taylor at AMC Mortgage. If you're looking for a local mortgage guy, that's one that I recommend. You know what? As a real estate agent, I've seen lots of homes get caught up in probate. That's when somebody dies and they don't have a will. And the next thing you know, siblings are arguing over houses, possessions, cars, things like that. That is a nightmare you don't want any part of. You're going to need some help. You need someone with experience. You need Riggin Law. Okay, rigginlaw.com. Kristen Riggin there and her team are amazing at guiding you through this process. Look, you want to get what's coming

Seven years. That's a good long time, man. Have you traveled around a little bit doing it or just around here? Yeah, a little bit. I've traveled to comedy in Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri, just like Texas. I've visited Austin and the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Do you feature? Do you headline? What do you do? at austin and the dallas fort worth area uh do you feature do you headline what do you do uh i am i'll i'll typically like feature a headline uh bar shows okay but the loony bin i just got bumped to a 20 minute feature i've okay there a lot though yeah yeah yeah um that's great at the loony bin actually we caught you probably close to a year ago with uh britney wright

Great show. Great show. Well, there you go, man. He remembered you all the way back. That's cool. I was like, Oh shit. i know this guy that's great now so have you played it sorry you kind of sound like uh the guy from bob's burgers oh god don't tell me that you ever heard that which one um the main bob bob oh god no i haven't heard that i like that guy's voice so i'll take that he also does the voice of um arthur john benjamin yeah yeah yeah i know that show um so have you played jeremiah bullfrogs in kansas yet i have not you should you should just then you you should reach out to them man they they pay good jeremiah bullfrogs yeah it's called jeremiah bullfrogs it's in kansas is

that a comedy place yeah okay wow absolutely it is and. And they pay pretty good. They were in my run when I would do stand-up all over. Oh, you were in stand-up? I've been doing stand-up for probably 15, 16 years. Whoa. Yeah, man. I'm sorry. No, you're all right. You're good.

I'm actually not from Little Rock. Okay. I'm from like northeast. Okay, that's cool. North central Arkansas. Yeah, I know. I actually started doing stand-up many many years ago and i've done it all over the country yeah are you still active well you know i haven't

been in in uh since about covid time i think i did one show since covid but i suspect that uh probably next year i'll do we'll do some shows yeah nice yeah i'd like to get back out it's it's been a minute and uh i probably I probably, probably got stuff to say, you know what I mean? Uh, but yeah, I, I've, uh,

I've done it for a long time. I love standup. Uh, I, I cut my teeth a little different way than some, because I, I came up through a bar venue circuit, uh,

versus a club circuit. Um, I, this, these past few years, uh, a buddy of mine, uh,

bear scoundrels, live standupup they're the ones who have produced yeah a partially cooked um roast battle yeah yeah and they have a podcast of their own yeah with set these uh yeah and um they have been producing uh showcases and open mics just that like bars and like dives here you have to you know uh that that was something that years ago that uh you know i figured out uh because i had a couple comedy rooms that i ran here and is that you know there's not a lot of place for uh up-and-coming comedians to to try their business out you know and it's hard it's very hard to uh get any kind of bookings if you don't have a developed set, you know, and you can't develop it. I mean, you can at the house, but you can't really develop it until you get out into people.

You know what I mean? It always kills in the mirror. No, no, it always kills. Yeah, I know. That's a big money in the shower. Yes, right now. Everybody's a great vocalist in the shower. That's exactly right, man. Listen, I do want to mention Fitz Auto. Look, if you have had credit problems, they're phenomenal because they're their own bank. They make their own decisions. They don't have to call somebody else. There's no company to call.

It's just right there. The buck stops with them. And the good thing about it, let's say that, you know, you were living wrong, so to speak, you were broke because of COVID, bills got behind, now you're trying to dig your way out, right? You gotta reestablish your credit. Well, they report to the credit bureau, so that's gonna help you do that, okay?

And most of the buy here, pay here's do not offer that. They work with you on anything, down payment doesn't matter. Late models, low miles. Look, my family, between me, my sons, we bought seven vehicles from Fitz, and I've not ever been disappointed, and I don't think you will. 8421 Stagecoach Road in Little Rock, or you can go to Fitzauto.com and check them out there. Let's talk about something going on here that might be of interest to you. You know, the recent statistic revealed that over 12 million Americans, now that's 7% of our workforce, identify as full-time influencers on social media. Wall Street Journal estimates there are roughly 27 million paid content creators,

half of which do it full-time. And they have an average income of $93,000. Now, the top creators do skew that average. Almost half of the total number of creators pull in less than $10,000 a year. What's more interesting is how being an influencer has become a form of the american dream another survey found 57 of gen z aspire to be an influencer uh 41 of adults overall would choose it well yeah if you can i mean i mean why wouldn't you that's unprecedented but it is it's it's a you know people forget about um what what used to be called the gig economy, you know,

and now it's no longer the gig economy. It's become a real economy. Right. But, you know, so many people began to make money on the internet, not just showing their buttholes and whatnot, but, you know, an actual legitimate entertainment forums, whether it's singing, doing comedy, performing. I mean, I guarantee you that everybody here, well, let me try out and see. Who's someone who's not a TV star or movie star but is online that you watch a lot?

Man, I just mentioned her, Heather Shaw. Heather Shaw. Yeah, yeah. Funny comedian. Very funny. Okay, okay. How about you, Andy? Who's somebody online that you watch?

I watch a lot of Kentucky Ballistic, the gun guy on YouTube. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I've seen that guy, and that's a big thing. How about yourself, man? I kind of was raised on YouTube. The shift was starting to happen as I was growing up. So I watched all the Jacksfilms, Jacksepticeye.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of the gamers. I'm not a big gamer guy because i just couldn't afford it but like it's kind of like a way to buy proxy enjoy the games i watch uh some of mr beast uh i watch uh danny duncan uh there's a lot of uh influencer types out there i look at watch check out all the time that are that are interesting i i like uh mr beast if you don't know i i think it's cool he's got his own channel like on roku and all it is yeah man and all it is are competitions

it's every one of them is him having people compete uh like in one of them he had a giant hide and seek they had this old uh i guess it was like an old town or at least maybe it was an old town set. I'm not sure. That's a fun show. But yeah. That's the kind of stuff I want to do if I get my money. It was a real big area. And so all these people are competing for like $100,000.

Whoever's last when standing gets the $100,000. And so, you know, they start in a big area and then they'll catch a couple people, bring it down a little bit more. And then finally they bring it to the smallest area and whoever makes it. But, I mean, it's those kind of things nonstop on his channel. And I like competitions like that. And I like to see regular folks get to compete and win money, I think. They did a couple different versions of Squid Game. I mean, listen, he built the Squid Game set identically almost, almost just smaller and ran all the same games and it was amazing all the same games

so yeah they just lived they lived a little different right right same game different result you know i've seen some of them it's almost like a spinoff from american gladiators yeah yeah yeah absolutely that's exactly right you can build a wall to protect this lamborghini from a tank yes i saw this guy's heart be broken bro i mean broken because they take this big thing of cash and it's like i don't know a quarter million dollars and they put it and they tell him exactly that here are bricks here are stones here's all this here's that you need to build this in a way that when we uh lob these uh uh fire bombs on it uh that it doesn't burn up and uh so he built he painstakingly arranges it and uh they start hitting it with these things and uh you think

it's gone pretty good till you open it and you see the money's charred up, and you're just like, oh, no. So he gives nothing, you know? There's been a couple of them, too, with like a guy that's lost. He'll bring them back and let them try it again. Yeah. And it's crazy to have that kind of money. No, well, and a lot of it is sponsors that obviously provide that. But he also has done, like, like you know I watched an episode and

and like him or not and and for some reason I guess he's polarizing and that's probably anybody who's that big but he put 50 wells in different African countries water wells a ton but I mean literally he went over and did what grew like 20 million trees yeah yeah but I mean these water wells I mean, literally, he went over and did what? Yeah, he grew like 20 million trees. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. But, I mean, these water wells, I mean, any government could have put them in. No, it takes a YouTuber. And here comes the YouTuber who puts them in. And, I mean, it genuinely impacted a lot of lives. So, anytime you do that.

Now, Danny Duncan is different. He's a prankster. He's always up to no good. He's always causing problems. And he's a pretty fun guy to watch, too. He's always up to no good. He's always causing problems, and he's a pretty fun guy to watch, too. He's pretty interesting. Very different than Mr. Beast. You know, I hear more and more.

I've got a bunch of friends with kids, and a lot of their kids want to be, you know, they'll say YouTuber or streamer. You know, it's funny how much you hear that now. 57% though, that's staggering. Yeah. Well, it is a much of my generation aspires to unemployment yeah well it used to be unemployment now it's not you know well i mean but but i hear what you're saying well just like you know like like hollywood or you know the music industry people it's still an industry that you have to like break into yeah so a lot of people aren't going to make it like that's just how dreams work no no that's personally that's absolutely like you know discourage anyone no i mean it could be hawk tour yeah that's right it wouldn't be a dream

if everybody could make it i mean then it'd just be what you did yeah exactly i mean you know not everybody can make it i mean that's the point how much sorry no you're good how much longer do you think is going to be before they start like that's in like the career orientation class like influencer i'm not i'm not sure it isn't if it's not probably not there's a problem. I don't remember OnlyFans on career day. You know what? I'm going to tell you what. It's a good thing I wasn't female. Because there would have been a whore in the Bean family. I'll tell you that right now.

I'd be naked all day, every day, making money. You hear me? You have a place to keep your shoes. Yeah. Yep. Some pervert's house. Yep. No, it is it is uh amazing you know but what people come to find out and and that's always i think the irony of it uh is that there's no such thing

as easy money you know there's not i mean even the easiest looking money takes work and effort and uh when you look at for example the only fan stars who are successful uh they put in a stupid amount of time i don't even know how their body takes that to be honest with you i'm like man i mean how many times a day can you rough up the suspect you know what i mean so uh yeah my hat's off to everyone in the adult entertainment business well not just them but but anyone who is putting content out regularly yeah it is work i mean there's no way around it i mean it's damn work and for the most part in the beginning it is you know um thankless tireless tireless yeah you just gotta believe in yourself and keep putting stuff out and hoping

something hits yeah you just hope for good things there's so many things out there now it's hard to come up yeah no yeah i've got a youtube channel for you know guns you know i like to build guns shoot stuff we blow stuff up we have fun that sounds like a good channel it is but it i feel like i get suppressed by all the other stuff, you know. Right. I may get, you know, I've got a video on TikTok. It's got like 11,000 views. Well, it's only got like 200 likes.

Yeah. You know, it's hard to get a like. It's hard to get a share. But listen, you think you get to the promised land. I've got a TikTok video with 3 million. Wow. It literally went viral. Right. And I could not replicate it to save my life.

I tried for two years to replicate it with different videos, different things, different formulas, and I could not catch the magic again. Now, that doesn't mean it won't happen. Now we're putting up content every single day, and that is the number one by far and away thing as a creator to succeed. Consistency. Consistency is key. The algorithm favors those that just kowtow to it. You have to post to every single day. Well, I mean, yeah, at least you have to have a regular schedule

where people are following along. There's like a minutia to it, but there's insider knowledge. You should post in the morning if you can. Oh, right. Yeah, and then there's your insider knowledge like you should post like in the morning if you can oh you're right like right yeah and then there's your hashtag yeah all the different hashtags yeah part of my issue is you could search my youtube channel right now and you will not find it unless unless i send you a share or something you can't you can't get why don't you why don't you send me uh a link and let us know some of your videos. Absolutely. Let's do it.

I was going to try to plug that today, my little hobby. What is it? What's the channel, first of all? The Tactical Turkey. The Tactical Turkey. That's a good name. Sounds great. Great name.

During the eclipse, we did 12 pounds of Tannerite with some diesel and all kinds of stuff. It was wild. That's great. No, that's a lot of fun. If you'll send me a video or two that you want want me to link let us put it up on our blog for you and try to get you a little traffic over there let's try to do that that would be awesome yeah and maybe you know if you want to regularly as you create new content shoot it over and uh you know we'll share it on the blog and try to try to help you build that up it sounds like fun stuff that my people would

like to see they oh it i'm sure they want to see things blow up and be shot. Yeah, my eclipse video was probably the best one we've ever done. I come up with the idea about two weeks before the eclipse. You know, what are we going to do? Let's do something crazy. I've got 80 acres in the middle of nowhere. I've got my private rifle range. We do some wild stuff. Well, when the eclipse comes, it's going to be dark. Everybody's going to stop and look up. it's going to be dark everybody's going to stop and look up everything's going to be quiet let's blow something up well man you know what we need to do now that i think about it i mean i still want you to do what i said but really what we need to do is schedule a time where you want to do something and i can come out and do it with you absolutely that'd be fun yeah you know we'll blow some shit up and i've got more cameras than i used

to i've got drone now. We, we can get some better, better angles. I didn't have come up with a fun idea and then let me know and let's coordinate it and I'll come and hang out and we'll do it together. Awesome. Let's do it. Yeah. I certainly would do that.

That sounds fun. Yeah. That definitely sounds like a good time. I enjoy things exploding. You know, I'd like to live in a Michael Bay movie. Yeah. You know, I mean, I can do it. Yeah. I don't give a damnael bay movie yeah you know i mean we can do it yeah i i don't give a damn very safe having you here by the way yeah no you should i i suspect you

should uh yeah he's probably got guns under his guns you know what i mean you got a pistol under his rifle and a derringer under the pistol right yeah maybe that's what i'm talking about yeah yeah like home yeah no when i look in my truck right we were talking about that the other day when i was a kid man i kid you not uh as a matter of fact is carrie out there is uh fundy will you see if carrie is out there by chance see if he's out there i don't even want to tell the story without him but he was he was telling a story yesterday about guns, and it was so funny when he told it, and I was like, damn, man, that makes perfect sense.

But when I was a kid, my dad had a gun. No, he's not there. Anyway, he was saying that he has a gun in almost every room of his house, okay, and they live out kind of like you do on some land by themselves, you know, with a lot of acres out there. live out kind of like you do on some land uh by themselves you know with a lot of acres out there and i guess his mom was there and she called him and said do you know you have a gun in every room of the house he was like yeah no i put him there he goes now don't you feel safe you know just one is beginner numbers yeah no he said that you know i i don't know who's gonna come or where they're coming from i'm like who did you piss off, man?

But my dad, he had a gun cabinet full of rifles. He had pistols everywhere. I mean, just everywhere. And we knew damn well that we'd rather not mess with him. So we got into everything we shouldn't get into all the time, even my dad's movies. And you know what i mean by that um but never that because we knew life or limb you touch that you die right absolutely now that's i had a buddy getting my truck here a while back you know ak-47 in the front seat

no telling what's under the back there's a glock stuff here there's one in my pocket there's one in the passenger seat he says man what are you afraid of i said nothing that's the point i'm not worried not anymore well that's kind of what carrie said she said what are you what are you worried about he goes nothing i have a gun in every room in the house that makes sense you know i get it yeah i've got to have a shower gun a toilet gun there's about to say i've got a buddy who's got a house full of guns, but he's got like one in a cereal box, one in a couch cushion. There you go. Now we're talking.

It's like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. He couldn't maybe build some little slide outs, pull outs. Once I built a desk for a guy, and it's an amazing custom desk that I made for him. But he asked me when I built it, he goes, listen, I want you to put under each side a magnet catch for a handgun. So I can have actually one of them was a handgun, the other was a knife that he had.

You can buy those now that mount. You can just screw it underneath the dash of your truck and you can crawl in and you can click it and it's right there under the dash, and you can grab that one. Well, that's how this was. It was just under there, and he just, you know. When that one's empty, you can get the one under the console. When that one's empty, you've got one here.

Yeah. We can keep them out of the yard for a while. I'm just going to stand behind you. That's what I'm going to do. That seems like the safe thing to do. All right, let's do something different, shall we? Alright, places everybody. Roll sound. And action. This is the segment.

Not like the other. People do stupid shit. You say, oh brother. Hey, it's not a copy or a clone of any previous bit. But if you think so, hey, we don't give a shit. That's true. Yeah. Whackadoo. Ben the Noob. Yeah, downloadable on iTunes.

My favorite singer. Yeah, by far, in a way, I promise you that. Yeah, who wouldn't have that as their favorite? Just like Frank Sinatra, except different. Yeah, except not. All right, here's something that seems obvious, but seems like every month a new opportunity to state what should be obvious. The cops have social media, too, you know, by the way, if you don't know.

social media too you know by the way if you don't know um in florida a tiktok influencer 22 year old marlena velez shoplifted over 500 worth of stuff from target and posted it on social media for her followers guess what happened yeah you know what happened a loss prevention employee at the store alerted police the cops put out a security footage image and then an anonymous caller uh blew velez into the police after seeing the video on tick tock yeah she put it on tick tock 500 she stole put it on tick tock how dumb are you guys cops have phones yeah yeah and clearly they don't think so idiots uh in france a plastic surgeon olivier gerbeau has earned the nickname of nose maestro that success has been tarnished however after he's been accused of turning women's noses into potatoes based on his surgical flubs

he's been slapped with a two-year ban claiming he's a victim of a smear campaign. Now, if you see those noses, you wouldn't think so. By the way, no matter how strong you are, no matter how fit you are, no matter what you do, you're probably lazy.

Donna Jean Wild is a badass grandma. She's 59. She's Canadian. She earned herself bad-ass grandma. She's a 59. She's Canadian. She earned herself a second world record. She performed 1,575 pushups in 60 minutes. Wow. Yeah. 60 minutes, 50, uh, 59.

Wow. Yeah, that's right. Uh, as she was also holding the record or broke the record for being able to hold an abdominal plank for four hours, 30 minutes, and 11 seconds. To train for the push-ups record, she did 500 a day. Wow. And what are we doing every day? I don't have four hours to try. No, I don't either, man. I'll be honest with you. But wow, that is commitment. In South Korea, military service required for all able-bodied men for at least 18 months. One guy thought he found a loophole. He's paying the price.

The unnamed 26-year-old found guilty by a court of deliberately gaining weight by binge eating, thereby getting himself diagnosed as obese, which would get him assigned to a non-combat role. The man was deemed fit during his initial health exam for the military, but then ballooned up at his final exam. He was hit with a one-year suspended sentence, and a friend who devised the regimen that doubled his food intake got a six-month suspended sentence. The radical attention-grabbing design of the Cybertruck has led some to question the psychology of who might buy one. A recent Facebook post, which has now been deleted, may have shed light on it. Steven Chow's a dentist and Cybertruck owner.

In his post, he said he works hard, his kids don't talk to him anymore, his friends are too busy to visit, and he's getting older every day. So what do you do? You get an overpowered, overpriced, over-the-top bridge on wheels, and they can't ignore you anymore. That sentiment seemed to have resonated with cyber truck owners around 50 of them agreed saying yeah you nailed it that's me have you seen the cyber truck andy do you like it no i don't like it you don't like it cyber junk what i call it yeah you don't like it you don't like it either

no no i bet you i'm an odd man out if it wasn't for the price, I'd definitely have one. What do they run, by the way? At least $100,000. Are they? Yes, yeah. I think they initially said. How many trucks now run $100,000? I think they said they'd come out with an affordable model down the line.

The Ranger version? Yeah, the Ranger. The Ford Ranger? Mm-hmm. I'm the opposite. I'm the one with the lifted diesel in the parking lot. The electric car owners hate me. Yeah, no.

You have a real truck. yeah no no it runs on petrol and that's a problem i'm killing the environment yes and that's fine yeah you're not um a woman treasure hunting in england's riverbed stumbled on something pretty cool 120-old jar of pickles preserved from the Victorian era. Jane Eastman discovered the intact green glass bottle while searching for artifacts. She said, it's got to be the weirdest thing I've ever seen. The bottle was embossed with W&D Harvest Dowgate Dock London, linking it to a London spice dealer who operated in the 1870s. She marveled, saying, I never would have expected a 120-year-old jar of pickles still corked to survive in pristine condition. Fans were intrigued. One asked if they might still be edible after a century.

Do you want to try it? I'm not going to try a 120-year-old pickle. How about you? Sounds like botulism to me. Sounds like something that ain't going to come out good on the end. You know what I mean? Okay. A U.S. judge has ordered the return of the cursed Bahia Emerald.

That's an 840-pound gem mined in Brazil in 2001. They've ordered it back to its home country after two decades of legal battles. The emerald was stolen the same year it was mined, became the center of numerous ownership disputes, was under custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office. It's been called cursed due to the lengthy legal proceedings. And last Thursday, a judge ruled in favor of the Brazilian government, saying there was insufficient evidence to block its return. So it is gone and out of here. Let's see.

Thanksgiving has been canceled. Well, the Thanksgiving gathering took a dramatic turn after a Reddit user revealed her sister's strict family code of conduct led to the cancellation of the meal. They shared that her sister gave the family a list of rules for dinner that included a ban on overlapping conversations, no politics, a smart casual dress code, and assigned seating based on optimal personal compatibility. The sister insisted that everyone sign the code of conduct. I insist you kiss my ass. It ain't happening.

I'll second that. Yeah. A ban on overlapping talking. Yeah, whatever. A North Texas man was arrested after he barricaded himself in Walmart, armed himself with a hatchet, a bow, and arrows, and he started firing arrows at employees and customers. He wasn't very good.

No injuries were reported. He fled before police arrived there at 6.40 a.m. Then about 9 a.m. officers responded to a home where he had jumped a fence and trespassed in the backyard. He was arrested and booked, and apparently Walmart got its bow and arrows back. That's when we need Andy there. Not all heroes wear capes. No, that's for sure, right? They wear Kevlar.

No, that's true, yeah. Yes, sir. And finally, a woman was arrested after allegedly punching another spectator during the 38th annual Santa Claus parade in St. Thomas, Canada. Thought everybody was nice there. Became angry that her view was obstructed. The suspect struck the victim in the face, knocking him to the ground during a dispute over that parade view on Saturday. Despite the altercation, the Christmas at the Circus theme continued as planned,

and the woman whose name was not released was charged and is pending a court date. All right, we've got some new guests, so we're going to do a little swap out here. This is Bob. Bob has no arms. Who's there? Well, it's not Bob. Hi. Bob has no arms. Who's there? Well, it's not Bob. Okay, everybody. Sorry, I'm just doing a little logistical juggling here. We've got some people in the studio. And very excited to talk to these people.

Get her over there. Come this way. Yeah, get closer to people. Get her over there. Come this way. Yeah, get closer to us. Get closer to us. Yeah, let's scoot it. All right there. And you'll have to get kind of right up on the mic. See how I am right here.

Like about like this. Yeah, try that. I know how to work a mic. I got this. Okay, good. Hey, I like that. Oh, that's right. She's an announcer.

We know, man. We know. That's right. I forget. So tell everyone who you are. My work name is Anna Lynn. Like I said, I've been in professional wrestling for 17 years now. Anything that you could possibly do in front of house, behind the house in wrestling, I've done it.

Yeah. Stay pretty busy with it. Yep. Okay. Okay. So how did you get started in wrestling? So actually, I had my biological grandmother was the photographer for the Von Eriks. And really traveled in North or East Texas. And also then my dad got into professional

wrestling as well. And I just kind of followed suit. That is that's pretty dope to have just that connection to the Von Eriks family. When I was a kid, they were by far and away my favorites. You know, we grew up here in the Mid-South wrestling and you know that stuff and so they were super big uh yeah they still are and i'm really good friends with uh marshall and ross and their dad really and everything that's cool man out about my grandmother being their photographer through a casual conversation with them wow that's amazing that's amazing how's how's kevin and his family doing they're so great now they moved back to the states you know they were living were living in Hawaii for a while. Now they're down just south of San Antonio.

Okay. They're just living their best lives. That's good. They're going to be back in Texas. You know, I'm glad to hear that because it wasn't that way for a lot of them, you know, and a very, very obviously tragic story, but good for him. I'm glad to hear that. You wouldn't know it was tragic though, talking to Kevin.

That's the beauty of it. Yeah. Now, you know, he always came off that way, that he's just a very thankful, happy-to-be-alive guy. And he tries to pay it forward a lot, I think. Very much, yes. Yeah. It's a good little description of him. Yeah, it really seems that way to me.

Well, if you ever get a hold of him and we can Zoom with him, let me know. I'd love to Zoom him. Yeah, I was like, we can't get him to travel, maybe we might be able to zoom him in yeah uh so so you get you know you had that connection how did that you know what did you start with first did you go right into the wrestling side no actually i didn't do that till several years uh several years in i started in 2008 it was my 16th birthday actually oh wow i had been begging and begging and begging to do something in wrestling. And finally, as a surprise, I was like, hey, you want to just do a management spot tonight? And I was like, yes, I do.

Yes, I do. And it was just I didn't prepare, didn't have anything with me, and just did it. You just went with it. Just went with it. But of course, you were steeped in it. You grew up around it. Exactly. So you kind of had an idea of what to do.

Exactly. Exactly. So since I was six years old, I've been around it and everything. Yeah. So that's pretty much how I got started. That just gave me the bug, the itch and everything. And just it slowly progressed from there. And so you, you, you were a manager and you finally progressed and said, I'm going to wrestle. Yeah, I started, um, I started progressing from, uh, doing the managing and valeting and I did a lot of, um, back of the house stuff. I went to the owner of the company that I was working at at the time. They ran every single Saturday, and I was like, I want to learn everything.

Okay. I meant like, you know, running the production side, the switchboard, the music, the lights. Yeah, you wanted to know the business. Yes, and I was like, don't skimp out on me because I'm a woman. Don't skimp out because I'm somebody's daughter in this business Like I want to know everything. And it just slowly progressed from there. Yeah, that's pretty cool. So how did, when you started, were you a babyface, a heel? How did you play it?

Most of the time I was babyface and everything. Again, I was a kid when I first started. And, of course, you know, like I worked on shows where my dad was on and like my dad's friends. So a lot of times I just gravitated working for them because that was like a safe thing to do. and so it was just yeah being baby phase getting the crowd all riled up doing those things and stuff but it wasn't until oh gosh I don't think I did any hill work any bad guy work until I was like at least like six or seven years in but it's my

favorite yeah I bet it is I would think you know, as a wrestler, to me, that would be, I think the joy is having everybody mad. You know, making everybody mad at you. Everybody thinks it's so easy. Everybody goes into it. You'll hear a lot of people say, oh, I love being a bad guy because it's easy. It's easy to get people mad. But my favorite part about wrestling, no matter where I'm doing it, is character work and storytelling. Oh, yeah.

I'm not the one that's out there just saying the cheap stuff to get people just immediately riled up. I'm doing the long run stuff and everything. Yeah, you're building a character and developing that. That's what I love more, and I feel like I have more fun doing that when I'm a bad guy. So, obviously the Von Eriks were influential to you. What other wrestlers have been influences to you what other wrestlers uh have been influences to you um especially if you look at any of my social media or my characters from the past you'll see that undertaker is a huge influence okay okay huge yeah a lot of my stuff is really based off him and plus his worth

too he's he's big on really protecting himself and his character and stuff and really just telling that story and making sure that is protected in its own. You know, he did, however he was managed or however he managed himself, you know, he always stayed above some of the other stuff. You know, he kept himself a legend status for a long time. He's a very smart businessman, very smart. And I was lucky enough to have a couple conversations with him to pick his brain about it and everything. And I've got to learn a lot about him just watching him and talking to him so again if you and you can

see it if you look through my social media look at my work and stuff you can really see that come through so when you did get the chance to talk to him were you just absolutely starstruck well so actually the first time i met him was um i took my son to comic-con i was working in a booth there and everything and i had my son with him my son loves him too and he was like three or four years old and i was like i was able to through connections go and like set up a meet a private meeting with him yeah and um i actually the mom in me was more present than the fan in me because that's exciting because like my son was wearing like a john cena outfit and he was so excited and he was coming in and everybody was giving him so much attention when he walked in the room with undertaker that like he didn't see undertaker standing there yeah how do you not

see that he's like seven foot forever exactly but the the photographer like got him like a little stepstool to stand next to him to take a picture with him and he's just be bopping around and i'm just sitting back watching this whole interaction and then my son like steps up to the stepstool and doesn't see undertaker until he stands on the step stool and it's like eye contact with them and he just like stops and it's like and he doesn't never breaks eye contact and he's just like mom undertaker and of course i'm like bawling because they end up having their conversation and interaction and so that was more that was my first time meeting him. Of course, that transitioned to us speaking later. So it was more the mom and me crying. I'm so jealous right now.

When I was a kid, my mom saw The Undertaker walk by her at Detroit Metro Airport. She called me up and she's like, you wouldn't believe who I just saw. She goes, The Undertaker. I said, did you get his autograph? She goes, no, he was going too fast. I couldn't catch up. And she watches the show. So I just want to be like, mom, she took her son to meet him personally.

I have three boys, and my oldest has been traveling with me on a show since he was two weeks old. So my oldest especially has gotten so many awesome experiences. You said you have three boys? I do. Okay. What ages are they? They are nine, five, and three. Oh, wow.

That is a very boisterous age. Yes, it is. Yeah. Now, my mother raised three boys, and I don't envy her for that. They are full-fledged boys, too. Yeah. No, that's great, though. Raised in wrestling, which is fantastic for me.

It can be, but I can only imagine how many things get jumped on around your house I mean when we were kids you know I don't know and maybe it was only me but every time as a kid me and my brother would watch wrestling as soon as wrestling was done it was time to wrestle yeah we don't do Mickey Mouse we don't do the Cocoa Melon anything it's wrestling in my house I threw my couch off the front porch one time yeah Yeah, that's committed. Because my kids were sitting there wrestling the couch, and they were a couple years younger, and I just knew they were going to hurt themselves.

And, of course, you know, I get on to them, get on to them, get on to them. I'm like, you are going to hurt. They fall. They get hurt. Don't care. Get back out there. And finally I hit my limit and said that was enough, and I picked up my couch and threw it off my front porch.

That's amazing. And that was the end of my couch. Well, nowhere to sit sit but a lot of fun so so now uh you went through that and now you're uh an announcer is that correct yeah i actually got kind of thrown into um announcing it was kind of uh happened on accident which i enjoy it's become like a bread especially you know like i'm getting older i have three kids i want to you know keep healthy for and stuff ring announcing is kind of the thing I've fallen back on whenever I don't. I want to work in wrestling still, but I also want to keep my body healthy.

Yeah, you'd like to not have a broken back. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, because I did like 12 years of professional dancing, and then I did a year of intramural football for Oklahoma State University's team for a season and stuff, and then I got into actually training for wrestling. So my body's kind of hurt. Yeah, no, it's tired yeah so yeah um I actually was um training and um at this uh the place you know where I kind of grew up at in wrestling and uh they didn't have a ring announcer and they were like hey you're gonna do this shoved me through the curtains and there I went

yeah there was no like prepping. There was no like, so you kind of enjoyed and kind of, uh, I didn't enjoy it at first and everything. And then you go back and listen to the first few times I reannounced. It's awful. It's so awful. That's with anything you ever do.

Right. Yeah. You know, like, and of course, like a lot of the people around me were like, you could probably do this in your sleep. You've listened to it enough,

you know, for all these years. I'm like, yeah, you're right. right but just like but you still have to develop your own right sound and feel and delivery and that's what i try to tell people you know there's not a lot of people and i'm sure you can contest to this like whenever you're at wrestling shows a lot of when you're wrestling and you're managing and you're doing other stuff you can get a lot of constructive feedback but a lot of times you of times announcers don't get that. You don't get people to work with.

You don't get people to get feedback from constructive criticism and stuff. No, they just either hire you again or they don't. They throw it at you when you're in any other position. So I make sure and go out of my way to talk to people, especially if I'm in Richmond. I just go and hang out at shows sometimes if I happen to be in town. And I talk to people, and a lot of times they they'll ask me advice and I definitely go out of my way to do that because I didn't have that that's for sure so where you know where all do you uh go and work at where all do you announce right now I like I said I'm a single mom of my three boys and so I don't like to go

too far so like this is like about a four hour drive for me and that's usually my radius okay every once in a while I'll jump further and everything if it's, like, a one-time thing. But, you know, I'm usually all over Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, just kind of in that radius. I've been further before, but right now I'm right here. So, you know, we've talked a lot about on this program with everything going on that it seems like in the past, you know, I'd say, you know, five to 10 years, there's been a huge resurgence in local divisions become, you know, wrestling leagues popping up. Are you seeing that everywhere?

It's everywhere. And you see, you see it all the time. You always see it during tax season. Yeah, of course. But it is, it's growing a lot. And wrestling in general, I feel like, is growing a lot of popularity right now. It's really on the upscale slide of, you know,

with people getting more interested in it and watching it more, and they're seeking out these indie promotions because, you know, a lot of people can't afford WWE or AEW at the moment. Well, right. And they, you know, only have so many events a year anyway. Exactly.

So even if you went to one or two, I mean, that's it. So you have nothing in between other than watching it on TV. So being able to do something in person. And some of these leagues are really beginning to get traction. Yeah, they are. And it's really good to see because, too, like a lot of people like to use names that were in like the aggression era and the attitude area of wwe and they bring those guys in and those are like the demographic anyways that wants to see those sure they're using that if they're they're doing it correctly they're marketing you know toward the right people

and that's how they're really growing their promotions and i love to see that let me dial back because you said something i hadn't heard before uh I know the Attitude Era. We talk about it. Everybody talks about the Attitude Era. Everybody loves The Rock, Stone Cold, all that. But the Aggression Era, is that the 70s, 80s? No, that's right after. That's right after. After Attitude Era.

That's when your John Cena is coming through and stuff like that. That's the Aggression Era now, they call that. Okay. So have we left the Aggression Era now? Yes. What era are we in now? I don't know. We don't have a name for it yet.

Aggression era really is a new term, actually, for that era. And it really started after they kind of coined the term with the Bray Wyatt and John Cena story they did and everything. Because, you know, they really emphasized that in their storyline. So I think that's like a new term on itself. So maybe we've got to wait like 10, 15 years. I'm going to ask you a real dumb question here. uh dumb questions that's fine you're you're you know uh and and i mean nothing by it you're an attractive uh woman uh you love uh wrestling what the hell are you doing single how is that even possible i mean it seems like there'd be a line outside this studio

when we get off you know i'd like to go out with you. I mean, it just works out that way. I guess, you know, I keep my private life private and I don't like to mix personal and business and stuff. And it's, I tried doing the whole thing and dating and wrestling and stuff. It don't work out.

No, no, I understand. So I'm good the way that it is. All right. Now, if people would like to, Indy, are you active on social media out there?

I am. I am. How would they find you? What do they search for? Instagram is allaboutannalyn, and then I have a link tree in my bio that takes you to everything else. Okay. So you go to allaboutannalyn. That's right. And it's A-N-N-A-L-Y-N-N?

Correct. Allaboutannalyn on Instagram. And then you've got a link tree to every other site that you've got. Everything else, yep. Okay, well that's awesome. That's awesome. Is there anything we can promote for you otherwise? I know I'm going to be back here in Arkansas Saturday, November 30th for Gladiator

in Alma. I know they switch out. Yeah, we're in Alma November 30th for Gladiator Championship Wrestling. And then I'm back in Texas in December the 20th and 21st. If you're near Sherman, Texas, or Ardmore, Oklahoma, we do an annual toy drive. You come in, the show is free as long as you bring in a donated,

unwrapped new toy. And it's an amazing show. We're going to have, like, Short Sleeve Samson and some other big names and everything. Is that Texoma? Yes. Texoma Pro Wrestling. I'll put that them a little bit.

Okay, okay, okay. So did you get her on Arkenbrawl or what? We can talk about it for sure. Okay, okay. Well, I mean, you know, maybe something to talk about for sure. All right, all right. Well, that is awesome. Well, I'm so glad that you've come in to join us, and thank you for coming in.

Enjoy, yeah. Yeah, yeah, great, great. What's going on, Bundy? You're being quiet over here. What do you got going on over here? I was actually trying to, I was going to have you tell me your handle again. I was trying to find you on Instagram. All about Anna Lynn.

During that event, Rich, is there going to be crossovers?

Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I got you. There's going to be some Some crossover? There's already chatter between the promotions about who's going to do the better matches. I got you. We'll see. It's exciting. Looking at what the people are saying, Kevin Reed Miller, K-Bird, said,

Let's see. Good morning. I used to get thousands of views on TT, now Shadowband, to about 300 views a video. Y'all check it out and like everything. That's K-Bird again, Kevin Reed Miller. Wendy said the Cybertruck looks like a refrigerator on wheels. Gina said they're so ugly they look like a trash can on wheels i can't lie either that's part of why i want one is because everybody hates them so much you know sometimes it's like a thing you

know yeah i've seen them painted different colors than the stainless steel and they're interesting we went to los angeles uh back in june and there was a ton we saw an old yellow one why did you go there yeah uh we were seeing some friends went to a business conference out there okay yeah hit vegas on the way and just kind of made the trip of it okay i was concerned about your well-being i didn't know what was happening i've been to la it's uh fun to visit briefly and then leave i'm not a fan not a fan and then just go home. Yeah, that's right. All right.

Well, let's do something different. This is Bob. Bob has no arms. Who's there? Well, it's not Bob. That's fair to say, really. I mean, if I'm being honest. Okay, let's talk a little bit about the holiday.

And this is kind of interesting. Of course, you might be worried about your family and politics during Thanksgiving, or maybe you're a vegan. You're worried about not having vegan food. Maybe you're worried about gluten. I don't know. But you might be worried about the giant asteroid that could smack into you

and just wipe us all out on Thanksgiving. That's right. That's right. Cross your fingers over there. That's right. That's right. Oh, yeah. Cross your fingers over there. That's right. Asteroid 2006 WB, like the network. I'll take it.

We'll zoom by Earth Tuesday. Astronomers say it's one of nearly 40,000 near-Earth objects, which is not even the most exciting. But Lowell Observatory astronomer and asteroid expert Nick Moskovitz said we know little about this asteroid coming so close to Thanksgiving this is because they're frequently discovered as technology's improved not because the threat is growing so in other words there aren't more meteors than there were there's just more cameras pointed at them because I think last I knew we only tracked maybe five percent of the sky around us,

something like that. So, you know, you could have something coming for a long ways and not know it for a long time. You know, the frequency of these things is getting to the point where he said, I can't keep up. But the European Space Agency's Near Earth Object Coordination Center recently highlighted notable asteroids that are passing the Earth this fall, including this one. Now, this one's about 380 feet wide. It'll reach us as close as a little more than twice the distance from the Earth to the moon. But that's still pretty close in space terms.

You know, you could hit a little other pebble and just careen right over and take us all out. That probably wouldn't take everybody out. That's not quite that big. Now, there's another asteroid that's coming behind it. It's stadium sized. That one could do a little damage right there. That could probably do a little hurting. Do you ever worry about

stuff like that? Asteroids, things like that? Is that something that you focus on? No no i just worry about what i can control yeah me too me too are you are you a freak out about the asteroids kind of person you know this is going to be like the 10th end of the world thing that i've survived yeah i'm not going to worry about it yeah after after y2k i gave up worrying about it that was ridiculous too yeah of. That was ridiculous, too. Yeah, of course it was ridiculous.

I remember when it was, what, 2012 and, you know, the Mayan calendar. Oh, that's right. I was slinging DirecTV and Sam's Club like, watch The End of the World on 1080 HD. Sign up for DirecTV now. That's a true worker right there. Turn your scars into stars. I was actually counting on that Right. I mean, hey. I was actually counting on that one.

I didn't pay my rent that month in 2012. Yeah. It was like, well, we thought it was supposed to end, man. Right. It was all done. According to the calendar, this month doesn't even exist, so why would I owe you? Now, are there any conspiracy theories that you have that you're into? Oh, man.

Are you a bigfoot enthusiast or anything like that? Here's the thing. I like this. I like this. So I have a very bad habit of not sleeping at night, especially because I just graduated on November 1st. So, like, I'm usually up late studying and stuff. And so what I do is fall down random rabbit holes all the time and so we do not have enough time for me to go through all the rabbit holes that i've jumped down there's actually a

channel online uh that you can stream where's that at that's called the rabbit the rabbit hole yeah and all it is is conspiracy theories the most recent one I've looked into is aliens being in the ocean. Yeah, now that's the big one. That's the most recent one I went down. Yeah, that's the popular alien du jour topic. I see one TikTok video, one Instagram post, and then I'm done. We had to shift there

because now that everybody has cameras, we realize they're nowhere on the surface here. We can't find find them anywhere so they're either there or they're not here right you know they could be of course on the dark side of the moon right there's no about you you got the moon you got any favorite conspiracy theories and my wife loves me yeah uh yeah i'm just you know yeah i got plenty of conspiracy theories i was gonna say i may not believe asteroids but there's plenty of conspiracy no there's you know uh i uh i didn't used to be a conspiracy guy and i'm not gonna say i'm really that guy because i don't just go down

rabbit holes like that very often i feel judged no. No, you're not judged. You're not judged. A lot of people do it, and it's fun. You know, I've been down them. Trust me. But I try to avoid it. But COVID and all that really changed my outlook on everything based on the government, you know? And so, yeah, I have a conspiracy.

But is there a conspiracy theory? No, it's not. The government's lying to us. No, I was called a conspiracy theorist for thinking it. We're talking about it, you know. But, yeah, no, I came to realize that it's all the WWE. Yeah. You know?

It's all stage. Yeah, it's all the WWE. If you're picking sides and thinking you're the winner, you're crazy. Yeah, you are. That's right. Because at the end of the day, they all get in the limo together and take our money. Right. Exactly. And we're just sitting there like yeah it was a great time yeah yeah no it wasn't he just got schooled y'all ever see that old show that was on uh what jesse ventura's conspiracy

theory oh i love that that dude's a real conspiracy theorist he. He really is. No, he's really down in that. I love listening to him, though. You know, people who are that way, they're the most passionate about things. You know, you'll never meet anybody more passionate than someone who wants to deny the moon landing. Those son of bitches are more passionate. Let me tell you something, man. That flag cannot blow on the moon. Yeah,

I know. I know. I know. But why haven't we been back? Yeah. Look, let's start talking about it. Let's get into it.

Just saying. 58 minutes left. Let's all go jump on that rabbit hole together. No, they're, they're all great. You know, I've looked into the, I've read the stuff about the moon thing it's interesting i don't know if we did uh if we

did fake it it's the most uh united states thing we've ever done in our life you know it's like okay yeah we'll we'll we'll beat everybody there one way or another i just imagine that that talk in the room like hey guys instead of actually doing it. Right. Yeah, you know, I don't know if this ship's going to work. We can skip all the hard shit that we're trying to calculate here and just shoot it. I mean, we did make Star Trek. We can do this. Right, right.

We can do it. Yeah, because it was, what, four years after that that they went to the moon, right? After Star Trek, so, you know. Dude, one of the more popular ones, and I've got friends, the Flat Earth Movement. Oh, my God. Do not get behind that. Those are a special breed of all-time. I'm sorry, but if you're a Flat Earther, I've got to ask you, man, it's 2024.

What's going on? How good is that shit you're smoking? Because there's no way, man. I mean, just you ate you have a better you have a better chance of being in the matrix than a flat earth you know and i may be simulation that's the one that i'm very intrigued by more recently are we in a simulation that's that's intriguing to me you know sometimes i stop and think is it really my thought or am i just gta should i get out and beat a hooker is that what i'm supposed to do that's exactly what you're supposed to do run from the police for no reason that's what they

say like on the sims when you walk into a room and you forget what it was for it was because somebody just canceled your test that they wanted yeah you see what i mean there's always somebody who's got it all figured out don't they you know they have the whole roadmap to how the conspiracy works but they are the fun things to talk about man uh for sure you know i do believe in the weather control i don't think that's that used again another thing that used to be a conspiracy yeah uh but you know what i just recently if i ever and i haven't had a doubt in years, but most recently, to demonstrate it, in Dubai, they had a flood like they've never had ever in the history that we know of. Right. You know, it's the desert, you know.

And what did they say? They said, well, we seeded the clouds five times the rate we normally do. And that's what happened. That's what they do. So if you think they're not doing it, if they're only doing it there, come on, man. Now, let me ask you this. What's to say if you can trigger that, that some of the things you do don't trigger weather out that comes a hurricane? Right.

Those hurricanes that hit Florida for that's where i've seen a lot of people talk about people controlling the weather that's when that conversation really came up well i mean i'm not saying they are but i'm saying that look all the girls at 12 have boobs now because of steroids okay and they're chicken so steroids and they're well i mean what do you think it is when i was 12 we were all flat chest right, what do you think it is?

Okay. Let's talk about this. Have you ever done a scavenger hunt, man? Oh, yeah. Yeah. When did you do it? Just when you were a kid or have you ever done it as an adult?

I mean, I guess young adult teenager you know yeah yeah yeah okay how about yourself yeah i make one for my kids at least once a year do you okay we used to do that for the kids uh for their birthday present they'd have to follow clues and and things that's what you usually do for easter that's usually like the tradition yeah okay okay yeah we just had the eggs but yeah that's cool we do that too how about you, man? I can't say I've done this. I haven't tried. Okay. Well, you might want to.

Bitcoin investor John Collins Black is bringing a real-life treasure hunt to the country. He's burying five chests worth an estimated $2 million across the country. Okay, I can mess with that. Yeah, you might. Okay, got your attention. Each chest contains rare items like a uh cassette i'm gonna say it wrong so you know just accept it uh casasikis bitcoin a colombian emerald a shining charizard pokemon card pokemon card and george washington's jelly glass uh the

clues to find these treasures are hidden in a book called There's Treasure Inside, and it requires smart problem-solving skills that you need a sharp mind to find even one of the chests. He said the hunt's not for the faint-hearted. He gained his fortune through Bitcoin early. He started planning the hunt during COVID, sourced some unique treasures for the chest, and he assures everyone they're not buried on private property. They're accessible to everyone. He said, I don't want people to go too crazy, so I found a sweet spot for the challenge. He estimated the value of the stash could be up to $3 million, depending on the fluctuation of Bitcoin. Doing real good right now. He also plans to release additional

hints in eight to ten years if they're still unfound and that's not crazy because there was the one guy i think they're still looking for it i think so yeah assuming it's real well didn't they find i thought maybe they did find yeah one this year i know it may have been that they found it yeah but they but it'd been going on for at least a decade. Yeah, a long time. This is described as the greatest treasure hunt in American history. The challenge offers adventure and potential for life-changing wealth. He's excited about the impact it could have. He said if Bitcoin hits $500,000 or a million, these could be worth $10 million in a few years.

He said, I'd celebrate that and be happy for the finders. Is that something that you would be interested in? Would you even begin to venture into something like that? It said, you have to have a sharp mind. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I'm out. You're out, okay, yeah. I smoke too much. You're just like Kramer in that one contest. Everybody knows what I mean on that one. Yeah. How about you? Would you do something like that i would be intrigued but to act like i actually have the time to do something like that is not realistic i think most people would say man i'd love to do that if i just found it you

know digging in my garden right but otherwise i'm probably not gonna find it got the time yeah now it seems like something that would take an awful lot of time, and you probably better have that on either you're rich or you're homeless. I don't even play Pokemon Go. I'm not going to go hunt for a Pokemon. No, do they still play that? Yes. Oh, yeah.

Still played. Oh, yeah. No. I didn't know that either. I was sitting in my graduation, and I had, like, classmates sitting around me playing it, and I was like, that's still a thing? Oh, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that, who does it for the kids I mean adults these are yeah

these are full-grown adults like I said people like graduated age why because it's it's a fun I mean they still a lot of them still do it for exercise I was like hey yeah you go walk around and exercise I guess you are out of the house I mean mean, I'm... Right, yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's still a popular thing. I don't know if I would do the Bitcoin scavenger hunt, but I would want to go help that guy who threw his Bitcoin away in the dump. Oh, okay. I'm telling you what, I don't know why

he doesn't just get a group of a gazillion people to come help him, because I guarantee you a lot of people feel that way. I don't think the city... That poor bastard's been looking through the landfill for like five years. I don't think the city will let him look anymore. I think they let him look for a lot of people feel that way. I don't think the city. That poor bastard's been looking through the landfill for like five years. I don't think the city will let him look anymore. I think they let him look for a couple of years, and I said, look, if you can't find it by

X date, then we can't let you keep coming back out here digging through the trash. Man, yeah. I would come with a militia. I'd be like, no, we're fine. We're not leaving here until I find that. No, we're going to find that somehow, some way, no matter what we've got to dig through. It's like a billion dollars worth in there or something. Yeah, well, I think Bitcoin hit 98,000 yesterday, so it keeps going up.

Well, you know, you kind of expect it after this election that that might happen, and of course it is happening, you know, and I expect that that will continue for a little bit. Doge? Yeah, Doge, it's shot up, too. Well, I'm not shocked by that. I mean, did you think it was a mistake or a coincidence they named their department Doge? Yeah. Department of Government Efficiency.

I think he's saying something with that. Yeah, no. Oh, yeah. Doge. Doge. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's brilliant marketing.

Look, I don't care what anybody says, and I know everybody has their feelings one way or another, but I don't care about feelings. What I care about are facts, and the facts are that him and that Vivek Ramaswamy are brilliant people. And if they can go in and, man, listen, I said the other day I've never been excited about anything that government's done in my entire life. Nothing. Not one time did I ever come home and go, man, I'm excited about this because normally they're trying to screw me. Right. But when, when he said, we're going to go through and start, you know, uh, seeing where the books are being cooked, I was like, hell yeah. Please do that because this has been going on forever you know and finally if somebody has the courage to do it uh the other thing that i heard him say that uh i was very not surprised by but pleased to hear is uh yeah we've got to get it where that uh there's term limits in

congress yeah oh yeah oh yeah and you have to it's the only way to make an effective change honestly you cannot have people stay there 20 30 years and expect they're not going to keep getting paid right you know that's what they're going to do be there five six years give you you know five six years and that's it you're done go back to normal life boom you're out yeah and just cycle a 90 yearold congressman, you know, following us. It's insane. Man, come on. You think Mitch McConnell relates to anything you or I do? Absolutely.

I completely agree with you. Mitch McConnell looks like one of those butterball turkeys. I'd rather have the butterball turkey. Right. It at least has some relevance. It's like walking death. Yeah, no, it's just, you know, I look at these people who are the Chuck Schumers and these Nancy Pelosi's like, these people aren't in touch with that. The only thing they're in touch with is their gated communities and their money.

You know, they're not out to help me. They don't care about me. No, you know, not at all. So I'm excited to see somebody give a shit about something because, you know, I think about my tax dollars and I'm like, man, is this what it's going for? Right. Because I kind of— Wasn't it just last week we were talking about how they found out at the Pentagon they're missing, what, $424 billion? That's insane.

Yeah. $824 billion. We don't know where it went. In the audit. Oh, no. Yeah. Darn. If you're short $84 at McDonald's, you're fired.

I worked at a casino before, and if we were short, like off a penny, we could not leave there until it was accounted for. A penny. I believe that, though. A penny. Yeah. And that's just working in a casino vault and everything. But the government had millions of dollars. Oh, sorry.

You might think the government might be accountable to the tune of $824 billion with a B. Oh, my gosh. I notice if I leave $1 in my laundry, I notice it. Right. Yeah. I know. I promise you if I lose a 20, I'll spend half the day looking for it. I could earn more while I'm looking for it.

Right. But it pisses me off, you know? So you're not going to tell me you lose $824 billion, man. Come on now. And it's just a whoopsie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Oops. Uh, by the way, uh, I want to mention to you that tomorrow, uh, will be the debut of our new segment from XFL gym. And if you hadn't seen the guy, he's crazy. He's got a mullet. He's, uh, he's, he's not right, but he's real good with football. Very good. So we'll launch his segment tomorrow.

He'll be talking about NFL. He'll talk about XFL, and he'll talk about NCAA. And I think that he does some handicapping and stuff, so you'll have – if you like to gamble a little bit. Absolutely. I do a little bit. I need all the help I can get. This guy might be able to help you a little.

Good deal. And I saw now on the website, and I found out a little bit more for myself. I hope we're allowed to talk about it. We're all kind of getting our own blog spots now. Well, we are beginning to, yes, to allow some of our folks like yourself and Bundy to be able to do some posting and to join in. And, yeah, we've built out the infrastructure for that now, so we're excited about it so that we can have a lot more people contributing and sharing content

and growing and helping you know with whatever their projects are or just sharing shit you think's funny right you know or cool you know i mean that's what it's all about uh so yeah we're doing that by the way uh if you didn't see the Joe Exotic interview, man, it was a good one. That was, man. Dude, come on. That was pretty good, wasn't it? You got the coolest podcast in the world. I watched that yesterday.

Like, let's go. That was crazy, wasn't it? Come on. It's crazy to hear about, if they're true, the conditions that he's talking about. I know. That's what I wonder, too. Wow. So, we started the process yesterday of getting the application done where we can go in person and do an interview at the actual facility.

So we're working on that now. We began laying the groundwork yesterday and getting that all done. So that's cool. And then, you know, as if you uh didn't know he um at the end of the uh thing said yeah he was going to call every sunday at 11 yeah and so now we're going to have joe on every week we've been talking to his people getting everything you know situated and the texomo pro show i mentioned earlier they actually had a couple of their shows at the the zoo whatever it's called everything yeah they worked with joe exotic

i mean they had a couple of shows there and they had like the tigers and all that like being a part of the show and then um i can't remember his name for the life of me but um this is probably not sensitive but the the guy that doesn't have legs from the show oh yeah yeah so he so he frequents he comes to all like several of our texoma shows like he's a frequent fan he comes there and hangs out and everything like he's such a cool dude yeah everything he's really cool to talk to and stuff and like i said they still talk about joe exotic and all that all the time well it is of interest to me because look i i felt uh and i'm sure most people probably watch the documentary now, I don't know everything.

I don't know every detail. But based on what I've seen, what I've heard, what I've read, what I looked at on the Joe Exotic official website, the videos, the dude's been railroaded. I mean, honestly. I mean, look at it. Well, first of all, as I said in the interview, never this plot that was to happen, he never made it even to the town she was in.

There was never an attempt on a life. You know, it was all a bunch of bullshit, in my opinion. Now, I'm not saying that, you know, Joe didn't help himself by, you know, saying some things that were a little outlandish. You know, he sure did. You know, and I think he would even admit, yeah, it was probably a dumb idea to even be talking about whatever. But I don't think the guy should be in prison for 20, 30 years. I'll tell you that.

I mean, I don't know a lot about it. I really don't know anything about it. I was never – I didn't get into the whole Tiger King show. What is wrong with you? What is wrong? I didn't. It was COVID. What were you looking at? What were you doing with your life? into the whole you know tiger king show what is wrong i just what is wrong it was covid what were you looking at what were you doing with your life i was a fedex ground delivery driver i was

i guarantee you man delivery driver life changed as soon as that bell that covid bell rang dude i was everybody started you know you i i will say this that is one positive i in a weird way that probably came out of it is online ordering people oh yeah they went yeah i'll do it i have my credit card out there i'm good let's do it i lost 80 pounds alone delivering packages during the height of the corona virus really it was just well we're when you're a fedex ground driver and i don't know if this is still the case this was obviously a few years ago when i was but you're a single driver on that truck by yourself you're expected to be able to lift 150 pounds by yourself and and haul it up to i mean

there's you know generators that are 150 pounds well i mean you throw it on your shoulder you put it on a dolly uh well if you have a dolly? Well, if you have a dolly, you're lucky. Most of the time, no. You get the momentum, throw it on your shoulder, and get it up there to the porch. Okay. Like a boss. Yeah. Yeah.

You don't want to stop and take the time to pull out a dolly and put it back in the truck and everything, man. You've got 150 stops. Were you the guy who'd just take that box and throw it? Oh, that's what my guy does. You know, I can't say yes or no allegedly i'm sure there was a few christmas packages that were damaged in shipping did you ever witness uh the porch pirates uh you know when you were out there or see them try to gank you or anybody ever try to rob you or nobody ever tried to rob me i didn't see any porch pirates around like my delivery

areas i actually had like yeah yeah i mean well there was plenty of animals okay there was plenty of animals to chase me down yeah you don't have porch pirates when you have pit bulls yeah yeah i had a pit bull chase me one time with a newport in his mouth i was like it was lit right he doesn It was a crazy thing. He doesn't even have opposable thumbs. How did that happen, you know? I just walked up to the bonfire. But, yeah, yeah, so I never got into the show. But after watching the interview yesterday, I was like, I've got to research more about this.

Dude, you've got to watch it. Go back and watch it. You've got to watch it. I'm like, are you kidding? Like, this dude is in jail and all these people did perjury and it's been found and nobody cares well you know um yeah yeah kind of i mean really and then like i went and looked it up on i went and just you know googled all right what's going on here let me you know try and familiarize myself some and the first couple sites i see

is talking about how crazy he is an office rocker. Yeah. Now I'm like, okay, now I'm invested because there's, there's two sides to the story, which is the truth. That's what I want to ask you. Is everybody just against him or has his cheese slid off his cracker? Right. There's the rabbit hole. I think the cheese found one. Found one. That's what I wanted to ask you.

It's just, you know, we see him on Netflix or whatever it was on and he's a personality, but what kind of sense did you get about him talking to him? You know, Yeah, no, he, he, first of all, he's Joe exotic. I mean, you just have to understand that's Joe exotic and that's who the guy is. So, you know, he doesn't exactly probably think the way you and I do all the time. You know, he has a very distinct style and persona about him. Uh, so he is very flamboyant, you know, and, and he's very out loud.

Uh, he's very, um, unfiltered, you know, but I think in general terms, he's pretty honest. Yeah. Uh, and that's the sense that i get is he was being pretty honest now you know i i don't know if he exaggerated 25 rats in the past three weeks i don't know maybe there were but i'm saying if they hell if there were five rats in the past three weeks all right that'd be five more than i need right you know uh i don't want to sleep anywhere where the rats are crawling on me i'll'll be honest with you. You know, not cool. Now, it is interesting that it's more of a campus scenario.

I thought that was interesting. No pages, no bars. And so he's able to be with Jorge and, you know, be together. Where is he at right now? He's in Fort Worth. Yeah, over in the Texas area. Not too far from here. Fort Worth Med, where the prison facility of Fort Worth Med.

So, yeah, so hopefully we'll get approved once we submit it, the final part of it. It takes 24 to 48 hours, and the warden will let us know if we meet the criteria and can go there and do it. What's the criteria? Well, I mean, you're going into a prison. There's lots of criteria. The number one, background. You know, certain people can come in. Number two, you have to be a member of the press.

You can't just say, hey, I'm Bob. I want to come see Joe Exotic. You have to have a legitimate press reason to do so. You have to have a legitimate press reason to do so. Then you're going to have to do some other things to make sure that you're not on any list or things like that. So they do, you know, all these things that you also can only you have a limited amount of what you can take in, you know. So you can go in and you can have one camera person with you. But that's going to be about it, you know. And you can take in and you can have one camera person with you uh but that's going to be about it you know and there's you can take a camera right and it's very limited where you can only film

when you're interviewing uh the the the resident you know uh joe exotic in this case i didn't know say i live where the oklahoma state penitentiary is okay everything and whenever you're a senior in high school it's like mandatory. Everybody takes a tour. Oh, really? And everything. So, whenever you go in the prison and stuff like that. They scare you straight right off the bat?

Oh, it's so terrifying, actually. I bet it is. Because they have death row and everything. And they take you all in there. They take you in the execution room. They walk you, right? Yeah. Do they walk you through the inmates?

Seniors in high school, yes. The inmates yelling at you? Yeah. No, and it's like when you're inside and you're taking the tour in there, like it's fine. You can see it's kind of weird because you see them like have these little mirrors

and they're trying to look at you without looking at you. But the worst part is when you go outside in the yard and they have like all the gates over the window. So you can't see them, but they can see you. So like, hey, you in the red shirt, I'll see you when I get out. And you're like, they know what I look like,

but I don't know what they look like. And they're yelling stuff like that at you. you say I hope so what's your number but like seriously though like you know you're taking 17 18 year olds in there everything like every year like it's a cool experience like in hindsight but it's terrifying did it make you go hey I never want to go there yeah and especially like that And like a death row was just creepy. I had to walk out of leave because again, like they take you through there and they, they even let you talk to like one or two prisoners that are in there, but they take you like in where like the press watches, then they take you in the actual, like where

the prisoners. Yeah. And then they take you in the executioner's room. Like you go and it's just, it's. Yeah. Weird feeling. It probably is a real creepy weird feeling. I didn't like it.

I bet. Yeah. But yeah. No probably is a real creepy, weird feeling. I didn't like it. I bet, yeah. But, yeah. No, I could understand why you wouldn't. You really go in there and you see, like, you know, in Death Row, it's, like, half underground. So, they only have, like, one little spot of a window. And they're like, hey, maybe they'll see a bird one day. Yeah. Let's go beyond scared straight.

I've watched it. And, man, listen, I know this is wrong. But there's nothing more I love to see than break them kids down and start crying. And I'm like, that's right, you little bitch. You thought you were better than that. I'm the same way when I watch. Now that Jose and his breasts are up on you, you feel different. I always love the one kid who tries to like.

Yeah, they're bucking up. Yeah, that's the one I want to see get broke right there. You're not going to scare me. I know they're going to yell in my face. I'm going to tell them, you get out of my face. Yeah, you sure are. Let's see that. When they bust in there and they go right and they're screaming in their faces,

I'm like, yeah. No, and early on, they were even more aggressive. They could put their hands on them a little bit and not hurt them, but kind of touch them, grab them, get up on them. Now they kind of frown a little more on that. But, I mean, I was like, yeah, that's what you need to do. They need to understand. them get up on them now they kind of a little now they kind of frown a little more on that but uh but i mean i was like yeah that's what you need to do they need to understand man it's crazy it is you know i look like the tour was enough for me i don't need people screwed in my face all i needed

to see were movies as a kid and i was like that ain't a place for me right now i'm not doing it uh all right let me do this uh and and i. I'm sorry because I love both of you guys, but I need to bring these two back up here. Let me bring them back up for a little bit, guys. Super tall. Hey, he didn't know. He is super tall. He didn't know that, Dustin. Captain Obvious over here.

It's intimidating. No, I can understand that. I can understand that i can understand that you know what's funny uh he was noticing your height uh which i i think everybody did you didn't have to but uh but you know i was just reading a thing yesterday that said that the uh the number one question that tall people hate getting is, do you ever play basketball? All the time. All the time. Yeah.

Yeah. Is it true? You get tired of that question. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I can imagine. It's got to be annoying. Yeah.

Especially because I never played. Yeah. Well, that's what I mean. It's even worse. Then they're going to go, why? Well, yeah. Why didn't you play? I suck. Okay.

I was better at other things. Yeah. I mean, I don't like it. Whatever. No, I get that. I can completely understand that. How tall are you for the record? I'm 6'10". 6'10". That is tall, man.

My mom, she's 6'5". What? I had to come from somewhere, bro. You think I was going in a test tube? 6'5", though. Wow. I mean, I don't... Oh, oh hold on that's my phone talking hey what are you doing sir he couldn't believe his mom was six five either i'm just thinking about everyone's just in disbelief here's what you're not hearing that

i'm hearing in my head is six five is a tough ass whooping to get as a kid when you come with it you coming with it it's like that's like having you know john cena come in and put the smackdown on you're the rocker somebody's like man come on uh you can't see me you can't see me so what you know i know you do comedy i won't get there everybody what what do you do uh otherwise uh for a living oh um i'm full-time comedy you just do comedy yeah i do gigs and i've also been doing uh comedy writing sessions okay with a younger comedian that's amazing man because um like i i've been doing comedy for seven years but i've been trying to write jokes since i was 15 yeah i am similar in a way of yeah and i uh i just i'm obsessed with joke structure and yeah i love it too man i'm just like the the craftsmanship of material is something

now that's a conversation right there that's fascinating to me is how you craft a punchline and craft a joke and uh because that you know been, uh, writing my rant now that, well, this will be number, uh, well, we were off this week, but next week will be number 801, uh, that I've done. And, oh, thank you, man. I appreciate it. It's longer than some TV shows, right? For a weekly episode, you know what I mean?

Uh, but, but I, you know, when you do, when you have to write, uh, that frequently and you have to deliver that type of material, you, you have to write, uh, that frequently and you have to deliver that type of material, you have to have some kind of structure to make it work. Right. And, and there are different techniques and tactics with words, like almost like templates, like, um, uh, one that's really easy as a rule of three. Yeah. I use the rule of three often. Um, it's, uh, like it's a, it's kind of like zig, zig, zag. Yeah. Because you do one to establish the pattern, a second to reinforce it, and a third to break it.

Yeah, that's right. And so in my case, you know, if I'm going to do something and I'm going to describe someone, I'm going to use three things. I might say shovel, chin, wank, guide, you know, knuckle, dragon, bitch. Yeah. And so those are my three things. Well, I'm just saying, I mean. Those are three things I might do. A list of three. It's just

satisfying. I don't know why it is. Why'd you look at me when you said that? Why wouldn't I look at you when I said that? Apologize, Patrick. The man is heavily armed.'s a good fair point fair point fair point man fair point on that and he has very heavy arms look at those things

he's got the guns and the guns yeah man for real yeah yeah so uh where all do you uh uh what's your favorite place to play then uh when you perform um i love the loony bin uh that's kind of like my uh the loony bin or the joint those are my home club yeah okay i get to work out there all there's an open mic tonight um we just like just go to test material and loony bin the joints oh the joint okay starts at uh eight o'clock yeah um and uh if you want to come sign up, sign up starts at 7. Okay. Yeah. And, you know, it's always fun if you think you can do comedy to go out and try to do it. Oh, absolutely. Everyone who's like, oh, yeah, man, I always wanted to do it.

Do it. Try it. I think everyone who thinks they should do comedy should try it. To find out, you probably can't. There's two things. Yes. There's two things I think everybody should do. Everybody should have to serve in the military at least two years and everybody should have to try stand-up comedy just to see what it's like yeah yeah and if you do it early enough i would add food service to that list food service

yeah that would be good too yeah i wouldn't i wouldn't mind that at being added to the list maybe just because yeah people look like will appreciate all of those things yeah no i can see kind of the service industry aspect yeah yeah that's interesting um but yeah i um if there's any aspiring comedians out there uh if you want to just hit me up uh my do you mind if i drop my instagram no i but please do great um i'm at crazy tall comic um so if you want to dm me i'm also on facebook just uh my name lucas sm. Just DM me. It's only $25 an hour. Crazy talk comic. Yeah, crazy talk comic. That's great. And I guess I don't think about it. I do think about it, but I just did,

which is that you have a whole different segment of material that you can carve out because of that. And I'm sure that you've leaned on that, obviously, with the name to some degree. I have to open with it well you have to you have to because the second i get on stage anyone is thinking is like he's so big yeah yeah yeah yeah and i have to address like yes i am aware of that fact as well no i'm i'm certain of it i'm certain of it uh have you found and and I wouldn't know, have you found that some ladies just, you know, they're just so curious what it's like to be with a guy that tall, that big? Oh, for sure, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that is a thing.

Yeah, there's a place not too far from here. It's a four-quarter of the bar over there. There's, like, the upstairs area, the roof is kind of, like, lower. the upstairs area, the roof is kind of lower, and I have to physically bend down, just have a hunch of my back just to be up there.

It says a new survey of 2000 revealed 43% are using the end of the year to compensate for the rest of the year to increase their good deeds or like volunteering or donating things like that. Do you think is it? I don't think that's how it works. No, no. It's always the holidays. Like I want to hear about somebody doing a good deed when it's 115 degrees outside the air conditioner is not working and they're pissed off that's when you do them yeah that i mean i try yeah it's in my mind to do a good deed yeah no no i got you i got you uh are you a good deed person

do you do you like to do things like that yeah i try and help people out when i can um i've like the the writing sessions i do like they are a means of income but they're also a way to uh you know like kind of invest in the next generation of yeah yeah now that is something that's a good date in a way there's a lot of i mean a lot of um like new comics they're trying to play a game without even knowing the rules yeah i don't know there are rules no and that's true man that is very true it's it's uh a lot of rules, really, when you think about it. Is there a lot of etiquette for comics? Yeah.

I mean, just like you were talking about rules, like common things that you should know. For sure. When you're performing, if you're going to take the mic out of the stand, move the stand. Yeah. You want to be at the front of of the stage you don't want anything obstructing right yeah i mean that's that's kind of a performance rule yeah an etiquette rule is

don't steal someone's joke obviously yeah right yeah that's an easy one to to mark that you even need to like say that but like there's some people out there legitimately don't understand that like oh yeah you're supposed to write your own stuff. Because, I mean, just for, like, myself and Annalyn, like, there's etiquette amongst the announcers of, like, certain things that you're expected to just know how to do. Can you give me one? Because that's a whole new world to me. I mean, I would say for us, number one that I probably get complimented on is actually going and, like, getting talent's names and, like, all their information. Right.

A lot of talent are usually like thanks for asking me how to actually pronounce my name yeah no that's that's exactly right another one is looking the part you know having a suit or dress on i can't tell you how many announcers think it's okay to just wear a t-shirt and jeans and yell into a microphone yeah you don't see bruce buffer like what was that yeah yeah no that's that's not gonna do it yeah no that's not gonna do it um yeah no people will steal jokes uh people use internet jokes and uh that probably drives me that's probably the most aggravating thing i can see when i just saw a meme on Facebook you're turning it into a punchline that is cliche and trite you know what I mean yeah but I

had a comedian that I used to book back when I was aggressively you know running comedy rooms and I was booking people from all over the country and this guy was a faux Irishman come to find out later he really wasn't irish uh but but uh he had come and um he had come i'd booked him two or three times and i had no idea uh that he was pilfering and sometimes it happens accidentally like you could get a line somebody said and osmosis that in and you might not recognize it it can happen right but when it's a cryptomnesia yeah but when it's a five minute joke and it's that you didn't stumble into right no no i was literally uh i booked him for my own

show uh which i'm headlining and he's opening for. And I booked him and I'm sitting there watching him and my buddy goes, he's doing your joke. And I'm like, he damn sure is. He wasn't doing, it wasn't just a joke. It was a close that I had used for probably. It was a whole bit. Oh no, it was a five to seven minute bit. It was your closer?

Yeah, and he changed about two things in it. I was going to say word for word, basically. Very, very close. Wow. Are you freaking kidding me? Yeah. That's what I said. That's what I said.

I'm going to beat some Irish ass. Yeah. No, I. Fighting Irish, you better believe it. Right. No, he didn't ever get booked again. I didn't interrupt it because it's, you know, that's a disrespect to the audience.

They don't know, and they don't have to be a victim of his shenanigans. Right. But, no, I never booked him again. But I thought, man, how many people, when you go around, are you collecting bits from that you can come back and do my own? Closing bit in front of me and not realize it's mine I was gonna say did he did he like take off and leave or did you catch him backstage? Oh, no I don't know if he knew but he knew how I felt about it. I'll tell you that

Flagrant hack is just so oh man it makes my skin crawl no absolutely but that's yeah well it's just it's you know intellectual theft yeah i mean honestly i mean that was a writing is is one of the most uh you know painting or writing uh whether it's music or words are one of the most original things any human can do. Right. You know, because it originates all right here, and that's where it all happens. So when you take that, I mean, that's the ultimate. And it's even happened on the, because I remember, wasn't it a few years ago,

there was a big thing about, what was it, Carlos Mencia stealing? Carlos Mencia and Amy Schumer. Yeah. It was a hack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't stand her, man. I swear to God that Anthony Jelznik wrote her first set. Yeah. You think't stand her, man. I swear to God that Anthony Jeselnik wrote her first set.

You think I'm kidding, man? Go watch that set and tell me it doesn't sound like Anthony Jeselnik. Then watch her next set, the leather set. It's the biggest piece of trash I've ever seen in my comedy life. It's absolute junk. There's not one redeeming thing in it. By the way,

huge Jeselnik fan. He just dropped a special on Netflix today. Yeah, it's redeeming thing in it. By the way, huge Jessalyn McFann. He just dropped a special on Netflix today. Yeah. It's called Bones and All. I haven't even seen it yet, but I know it's good. I love it. I'm so excited. He's the dark prince of comedy.

He and Daniel Tosh both have a really unique way of delivering. Wow, that's horrible things. Yeah, well, his stand-up, a lot of people know him from Tosh. Yeah, that's where I was, yeah. But if you go watch Happy Thoughts, that's the name of it, that is a clinic on stand-up. I am a completely serious and people pleaser. All three of them are bangers.

I'm a huge fan of stand-up comedy. Well, if you haven't watched his, watch it, because he does a clinic on how you can deliver some of the most offensive material and still make people laugh. All right. I'm happy to be there. It's still totally palatable. Right.

Yeah. He did a, like a three minute abortion joke. I don't like abortion jokes, but it was so good. It was so well done. Then when I got to the end of it, I was like, I'm down. That's the goal. When you write, you want to write something and deliver something in a way that you can

take the unfathomable and make it somehow funny. Right? I've heard of that back from Carlin days. Remember his old joke about He had an old joke you can make rape funny. Think of Porky Pig rap raping on our foot or something yeah no no I mean not that it is but the thing about we talk about this a lot here yeah in that same routine it it

talks about like um you can make anything but it just depends on what the exaggeration yeah that's what I was saying like it's so yeah yeah yeah because in every joke like it needs one huge exaggeration like every once in a while you'll see a story about like a guy broke into a place, stole a bunch of things. And while he was in there, he raped an 80-year-old woman. And I'm thinking to myself, why? What kind of social life does this guy have? Yeah, no, I think about, yeah, no, there is humor to be worked there. And something with beef jerky comes to mind.

That is wrong. That is wrong. is wrong i'm sorry that's wrong um yeah carlin comes up you know we have a lot of comedians in here and uh carlin his name comes up a lot as it probably should but i think he's a staple among the well he is at this point to me him and prior are probably the best ever do well a lot of people would say so um i think that that what he did better than most is he was so committed to rote memorization. Oh, incredible. To his last special.

Oh, yeah. In an order that every single word meant something. And that's not easy to do in comedy at all. It's not easy doing anything, any kind of writing, where every word means something and matters. And so he was very judicious in his use of language. And his cleverness on twist of words is pretty unrivaled, honestly. But, yeah, I love Carlin.

I like a lot of people. Pure poetry, man. Yeah, no. As far as comedy goes, yeah. Remember Carlin, if you watch some of his stand-up and some of his good raunchy stuff and then think back that he was one of the main voices on the children's show thomas the tanker how hard up were they hey hey listen i was watching something called picture pages when i was a kid that's bill cosby yeah think about that for a minute. Yeah. Yeah. That was my guy. Yeah. He's pretty innocent, huh? All right, let's do this because we need to.

It's not. Don't laugh. I feel like we haven't heard your hit songs at all today. Have we not? We did. We heard it earlier, man. We played it. I know it's... I need to drop a new one.

It's starting to get like that now. You hear it and you don't even hear it now. It's falling off the billboard. No, it's probably down on the charts today, to be honest. You can't put that far out. That's right, baby. That's right. That's right.

That's right. You quote that one. Morgue workers were in for a surprise when the dead man they were about to cremate woke up. That's right. That's right. We're about to load him in. Getting ready to spark it up. Matter of fact, they'd already sparked it up.

The man, Roitage, she's 45, shocked onlookers, I imagine, when he began breathing right as he was about to be burned in the crematorium. That's a heavy sleeper. I guess so, yeah. He was wrapped in a blanket. He opened his eyes, looked d looked dazed well how else are you going to look when you wake up from dead uh an ambulance quickly called to take him to the hospital where guess what happened he died that's right he died again

what if you're that guy that has to light it back up well it's like are They're running back like, are you sure this time, you know? No, if you're the ambulance driver, you're like, I'm not coming back. Right? No, he's dead, he's dead. Let's go, let's go, Jim.

Just pull a Yui back to the crematorium. That's always how it happens. They always wake up right before they're going to get embalmed or cremated. They rush them to the hospital, and then they die, and they just bring them back. It's like, just kill them, finish them off there, would you?

Trying to get frequent flyer miles or something? I don't know, man. I can't sleep when it's hot either. That's fair. That's fair, man. That's fair, yeah. If the fan goes off, I'm hot, man. No, that's good.

That's good. I like that. That's good, yeah. Marion County Sheriff's deputies say a man fell from scaffolding. Uh-oh. Not if you use leech and scaffold, you won't. A man fell from scaffolding at the World Equestrian Center and died Monday afternoon. He was a construction worker.

Fell just before 1 p.m. Oh, so right after lunch too man you know he just ate lunch he came back he's probably a little bitchy about it god yeah man i'm tired man and then the next thing you know well he uh he fell just before uh 1 p.m 911 operators were called uh construction is underway for a new event center and shopping plaza um they said they have to be strapped to the roof when they're doing it. So hearing that someone's doing construction, who knows how tall it is, makes you think they're strapped in, they're being safe.

But obviously that's not what happened. She said her dad works in roofing often and has to do construction on scaffolding. So I couldn't imagine getting the phone call and hearing that he'll never come home. I guess I don't know who this is talking about it but that bottom line is this guy's dead yeah it's all over yeah just wasting 15 bucks on a mcrib right yeah right no doubt man that was a waste wasn't it yeah it always is yeah i never got to me hey hey there'll be no mcrib slander hold on here here i'm gonna'm going to set your life free today. Are you a McRib guy?

He looks amazing. Guys, I'm so excited. I've just broken him. I've just loaded his freezer with his every dream today. He's about to go right down the road here. He just go right on down Broadway, hook a left down there, and it's right there, and you just load him up. You told him that information, and his brain was buffering worse than the Tyson-Paul fight. Yeah, no, that's exactly right.

About the same one. No, it's 100% true. I'm not even joking about that. I want to thank you for slandering the McRib because now I've been gifted. Yeah, see what I did? Everything happens for a reason, guys. That's right. It truly does.

Hey, it's every bit as good as the other one i promise just don't let the bun stay in as long uh because they'll get a little uh tough don't read the ingredients a pro tip yeah that no that's definitely a pro tip uh okay uh let's see if we can get one more out of this before we go well i've been threatening to do this let me just do this um andy do you uh have any stories uh in your life of um someone that you uh were familiar with maybe it could have been at work or anywhere who had a a bad injury or something or got killed yeah what happened uh buddy of mine fell approximately 30 feet on a job uh there was a

hole in the ceiling they were working. He fell through and bounced like a basketball. He bounced like a basketball. He's 30 feet, you said? It's like three stories. He lived. And he's mostly fine? Yeah, he's fine.

He's hurt some, but yeah. Yeah, he's hurt some? Yeah, he still has some. He's like 50 cent. He walks with a limp now. I'm all right. Fitty man. Yeah.

Did he, uh, was it his own fault? I don't know the story. A hundred percent. Did he get paid? That I don't know. Okay.

Well, you don't know anything, but he fell. Yeah. That's all that matters. Okay. No, that was the important part,

I guess. Uh, what, what, uh, do you know what was injured when he fell? Uh, several broken bones.

Several even? The back injury. I don't know. On the spot, I don't know. Okay. Yeah. Interesting, though. Was he unconscious?

I'm sure. He said he bounced. Yeah, you're right. No, I've heard that. I've heard that before, you know. We were doing it. I don't think the human body is supposed to do that. Well, it's not meant to be dribbled, no.

I spent many years working in rock quarries. I watched a guy cut a finger off. Did you really? Yeah. Well, start talking, man. We're waiting. On an electric motor, you've got pulleys on one side and pulleys on the other from down to your head pulley that runs a conveyor belt or whatever.

If you're putting that belt on, sometimes you have to get the tools out and shrink that down just think like a bicycle chain yeah you can't get on so you have to get the tools out well sometimes people are lazy and you can get that belt half on and have somebody bump the button that turns that on and they'll pull it on yeah i watched so he went to pull it on and it it just he had his finger in the wrong spot and it ate it right off oh man uh but the whole thing or part of it or right right about the bottom oh yeah that that ain't gonna grow back no it didn't grow back no that won't grow back no one of the coolest things i've ever seen is about 19 years old i was like oh wow that just happened wow that did get this it bounced what the finger did absolutely yeah no i would imagine it would see a pattern in your stories here they put in this lunchbox went to the doctor and i couldn't reattach yeah no mine

bounced when i cut it off in a saw but i cut it off here and so it grew back uh believe it or not which was the when the doctor told me that i'm like listen you're stupid man i said i i took eighth grade science i'm not a lizard that shit doesn't grow back boss and he goes no if it's above the first knuckle it does and i was like what yeah and it did it uh it's got a little bit of a detroit lean sounds like and i can't feel anything right there uh but otherwise yeah it all came back sounds like good cover story for the conspiracy about lizard people might be be. Might be. Might be. I am the lizard king.

You can check those out over at Patrickandthepeople.com if you're interested.

I will warn you that that one is extra smutty. And I wrote it that way on purpose. But I swear to God, you know, sometimes I'm mad at myself. You'll get this as a writing guy. I get mad at myself because I love the story I wrote so much because it started as a joke, just an excuse. It was just an excuse to write a sex story that was really dumb because everybody was cashing in on it. But me, I can't not do science. So if I'm going to do it, the science has to be right. I just studied the science. Then I made the story. I was like, well, it's got to be a little funny. So I put some humor in it. And by the time I was done, I was like, this is a good story, man. There's just a lot of banging that happens in it, you know?

So, yeah, if you like that or you're interested, feel free to check it out. All right. I think we're about done with that, man. So what do you got going on the rest of the day, my man?
