No, you tell me about that, Rob. No, it's awesome, isn't it? It's awesome. No, it really is. It really is cool, man. Yeah. If you don't know, uh, Eugene is a comedian who came in and, and, uh, he was just telling his story, you know, and he said that he had been basically, uh, hopping trains to go to comedy rooms all over the country because he was homeless and he didn't have a car you know uh two days after that a fan a listener a viewer uh reached out to him online and gave him a truck he just fixed the motor in yeah 2003 avalanche

and uh dude it was in the parking lot the other day when he came in i was just like man that's that is the power of people right there you know it just it made me that was the best thing that's happened on this show yet that's why i'm here this morning i could use a new motorcycle that is correct right there man that is correct so tell me man uh you know who who was your inspiration coming up in comedy oh well when i was a kid the first one i ever wanted to see on tv my dad got hbo for like a month and he got bill, and then he canceled it. But during that month, George Carlin at Carnegie was on. I was sitting at the table one night, and I'm about 13, 14, and I asked my mom, can I watch this George Carlin guy?

And she knew who he was, and she goes, yeah, yeah, you can watch him until he says something dirty. First line out of his mouth. I had my Mr. Pibb, I had my popcorn, I was ready to watch this guy. And I can't repeat what he said, but that didn't last long. No, it didn't. No. But after that, you know, I was like, well, I have to know what this guy's talking about. Yeah.

So after that, started watching that. We've talked about him many times here. I would say that he is the greatest comedian when it comes to rote memorization. You know, I mean, to be able to rattle off a list of words, the number, the volume of them, the pacing, everything, you have to be so committed to knowing that, like you're doing a Shakespeare play. Right.

You know, and he was brilliant, man. A lot of work. Not like now where you just go out and crowd rap for 10 minutes and hope you get a good TikTok out of it. You know what you're going to talk about. No, there's a lot of the ad lib that goes on you're right about that um yeah george carlin his bit on the climate and saving the planet yeah this is maybe one of my all-time favorite bits i mean it's just absolutely phenomenal and true by the way and true what i liked about him is he not only could do that stuff and be very you know

heady but he could also be just goofy you know what wine goes with captain crunch you know stuff no he had a great brain uh so how young when you started comedy how long you been doing it i did my first show in kindergarten that's great i mean great performance my mom made me i don't remember much of it my mom made me a clown outfit. Yeah. I had the, you know, pointy hat and everything. And I had a wagon full of props. And I only remember one joke.

I had this little rubber duck that would like use in the bathtub when you're a kid. And I just threw it at the crowd. And I was like, duck, you know. That's funny. That's clever, though. That was the first joke I ever wrote. That's clever. I wrote all my jokes, so.

Right, right, right, right. That was the first. But I started, actually actually when i was about 19 start heading down to the club they wouldn't let me in without my mom for at first because i was really young to be in the club so i had to you know and and where were you at where did you come up kansas city kansas city missouri okay okay okay yeah that that uh is a great city especially especially if you like barbecue yeah yeah that's the one thing we got. We got barbecue and murder. Yeah, a lot of murder.

That's fair. That's fair. That's fair. Yeah, no, people come here. A lot of people come here and go, man, the murder rate's high. He comes here and goes, man, this is a break, isn't it? Like a resort down here. Yeah.

Yeah, no crime. So, you know, where all do you travel? Just all over the country, all over the world? Yeah, I've been doing it 30 years. I used to tour with Cable Guy and Foxworthy. But now, you know, I've wound up doing? Just all over the country, all over the world? Yeah, I've been doing it 30 years. I used to tour with Cable Guy and Foxworthy. But now, you know, I've wound up doing some stuff that I'm not too sure about. I do a lot of cruise ships, you know, and it's good work. It's easy money.

You know, you go out and you get to go to these places. But I still do a lot of clubs, corporate stuff around Christmas. Now, you know, I had a friend that did cruise performances. And he said he made great money and he was fine doing it he said but you have to get your head around it's a different kind of crowd altogether because they don't really care well i don't know that they've changed a lot they've they brought in a new guy and he brought in a bunch of really good comics from the club scene because when i when i started out there it was like a lot of ship guys that you'd never see in a club they're just right ships and they were kind of hokey and hacky right but uh it is a

little different like i have to do family shows like carnival called me and they're like we need to do a family show and i'm like okay but you don't know my family right weird in here but uh you know you got all ages so the other night i had like an 85 year old sit next to a five-year-old wow like i was somewhere between like SpongeBob and Lawrence Welk. Yeah, no doubt. It was half the crowds in diapers and so was the other half. How do you manage to cater to an audience that broad and keep it, you know, between the lines? Well, the good thing about the ships is there's so much to joke about about the ship.

Yeah. You can make fun of the cabins or the food or whatever. So you've just got a natural list of targets that you can go through that help carry it. You get on board a carnival ship. I mean, if you're a comic, you can write 30 minutes of jokes in 30 minutes. Yeah, I've never thought about it, but I'm sure I could. You know, I've done stand-up for a while, and I've done some cruises, and there's plenty to talk about, man, without a doubt.

Well, some of them are a little tougher, yeah. Like certain areas where I don't do too hot on the ones that go out of New York. They look at me like there's something wrong with me. But when they go out of Galveston or New Orleans, those are my crowds. Now, how long, when you do a cruise like that, is it just the one trip for a few days, or is it normally for a period of time? How does that work? It just varies. Some days I'll jump normally for a period of time how does that work it just varies some days i'll jump on for three or four days and just do a little run to the bahamas and

back or some days they'll you know they'll be going to tahiti and then i get to tahiti and they're going all the way to australia but they fly me home and bring in another guy so they just swap us out you know that's dope man that's dope so knowing that let me just ask this let's move to that what's the the coolest place you've been on the planet so far? I'll tell you, man, I've been to a lot of places I never thought I'd see. I've been to Spain, Portugal, Germany, France. I mean, Mediterranean, Monte Carlo. That is amazing.

You can stand there and look at all these yachts, at these million lifestyles, rich and famous. It's unreal. It's where all those Instagram models take all the pictures. Yeah. Yeah, it's where Jeffrey Epstein was part. I'm just down there with my fanny pack, you know, looking around. Yeah, right.

So what place did you like? Where were you in your life? Damn, yeah, this is crazy. I'll tell you. One of the coolest places I went was Croatia. Croatia? Wow. Croatia.

That's not the name I would have expected. No, it was, well. You like vodka a lot? Yeah, I'll drink whatever you hand me. Okay, I'm just kidding. But it's a walled city. You know, they have walls all around the city. The whole city's walled in because we're always at war with whoever they're at war with.

Right. And I got off there, and the guy that was the production manager, he was from Croatia, so it was like his hometown. And he got me off the ship, and I'm like, man, this beautiful city he's like yeah it's pretty nice they're not they're not bombing today no that's that's a different forecast right there i was like forecast incoming mortar you know yeah so that was really cool and then uh spain and stuff you just can't beat that i went went to Greece, you know, I bet that was amazing. So, you know, as, as a comedian coming up in the circuit, uh, you know, as you began to, you know, gain steam and, and, and gain a little bit of, uh, success and notoriety, where was your moment where you're working or talking to someone,

you're standing with someone, and you're like, is this my life? I mean, this is surreal. That hasn't happened yet. No? No, I'm just kidding. That's amazing. I don't know. I think the one that struck me the first time it ever happened,

I was at Long John Silver's just getting some lunch, and I'm the guy that's keeping that place open, by the way. And the girl there had seen me at some show, and she's like, you're that comedian i'm she's just fawning over me i'm like can i just have my change you know this is weird so that was like the first time i remember like somebody recognizing right now what was the first time that you were you know uh maybe a comedian that you had admired or seen professionally that all of a sudden now you're opening for and you're like man i can't believe i'm opening for this guy well i'll tell you how it happened with larry the cable

guy which you know love him or hate him i i used to work at the omaha funny bone uh a lot and um the lady kept booking me with this redneck dude i'm like i don't i don't know this guy why do you keep booking me i mean he was filling the rooms and stuff, and I never heard of him, this Larry dude. Yeah. I was too dumb to know that she was Larry the satellite dude. Larry the whoever. Larry the farmer I get to open for again. Yeah. But anyway, she did that three or four times. I kept working with him and opening for him.

And after a show one night, he just came up. He was getting ready to go to theaters, and he was getting out of the clubs. And he gave me a card and said, this is our management. We want you on the tour. Wow. So I was too dumb to even know that that's what she was trying to do was put me in front of cable guy wow that's amazing how that happened then i ended up on the tour bus with him for four years and foxworthy and all those yeah well i bet that was a lot of fun i'm sure you had a good time it was great probably a

you know a great uh a clinic on different styles of comedy and approaches to it as well yeah uh they taught me a lot have you ever seen anyone do theater and around like just a round stage where the crowd's completely around you 360 not theater i haven't well carlin did one but i'd seen it on tv before but i didn't know how to do it and i had to do the show with foxworthy and i'm out there just turning in circles getting wrapped up in the court i didn't know how to handle this stage yeah there's people all around me yeah and foxworthy's over in the wings laughing because i'm getting all tangled up in this cord and stuff and uh he came out between shows we had two shows that night and

he showed me how to do it you do little triangles you turn your butt to the smallest group of the crowd yeah and so he taught me how to do that there's actually a footwork that's involved in it okay you've never done this before have have you? I'm like, no, Jeff, I haven't. That was really cool to have him show me that. No, that's great. That's great. So what, you know, of the places you've performed, which one has your heart? Which one is your favorite place of all time you've done a show?

Well, I always said that if I struck it big or something and I could pick and and choose where i wanted to work anywhere at any time i would oh i would do the loony bins and stuff like that i would definitely come back at least once or twice and you know fill the rooms for him yeah no that's exactly right sometimes i don't do that but uh i have my favorite clubs that i like and i'd probably work at home at my home club yeah but there's a few of them i'd never step foot in again too so now i've been there you know we talk about that regularly i all all the people in stand-up have been through the circuits where they they leave the tvs on or the pool tables open and you got to try to navigate that and that's never a good time for a comedian you got to work extra hard when they're going yeah because somebody just scored're like, man, right on the punchline, asshole.

You know, really? Hey, let me mention this super fast. If you are in need of a vehicle, listen, don't buy something brand new, drive off the lot and lose value. Go to Fitz Auto.

What dog is this? Bring me the dog or one of the squirrels or both of them. Baby, bring the dog when you come up. I've already been giving him shit this morning. Walked in looking for you, Kristen. All right. All right, Chad. She's like, shut up, y'all.

Shut up. No, you're good. You're good. You're good. I want that dog. Listen, this is an interesting story. A series of new job listings are seeking experienced cannabis consumers in states across the U.S. to sample and review marijuana products.

We got another guy over here. Yeah, they're full and part-time in contract work. It requires good writing and photography skills. I got them. It's work from home, right? How do you smoke some dank-ass weed and then have good photography and photography skills. I got them. It's work from home, right? How do you smoke some dank-ass weed and then have good photography and writing skills? Take the photo first. Take the photo first.

That's why I don't get it, huh? It's called Toker's Guide. And it already offers, apparently, an online directory of dispensaries and all kinds of things like that. But responsibilities, because you have some, include investigating, researching various characteristics of products, writing amazing reviews, taking excellent pictures of cannabis, and collaborating with team members to improve the site's reviews overall. What do you think? Could you get down with that job definitely do that yeah well apparently they're online online yeah you will listen maybe i'll just give it to you it sounds like you work from home no i think everybody's working from home here i mean unless they're at the dispensary

do you do you uh imbibe the uh oh i've been legal i've been known to do it yeah or illegal you know still illegal a lot where i live i'm on the kansas side so we're still yeah are you we're surrounded by legal weed and all of my theory well i'm on i'm in kansas he's on the kansas side yeah oh yeah bible beaten up right so yeah but we can slip over missouri and get all you want. Yeah. Yeah. No, I understand the Bible built.

We're in the buckle of it right here. I promise you. Is it legal here? Well, medically. Medical. Yeah. Cards, man. We got cards.

You see, you have to have a condition, man. Glaucoma or something. Well, something like that. That's not what I have. I get it. I have trouble sleeping. Well. I have the sniffles.les yes that's pretty close here if you have uh anxiety oh yeah and who how do you prove or not that you don't have anxiety nowadays well i mean you you you come out with anxiety now i mean it's inborn characteristic

if you're driving around with illegal weed you're gonna have anxieties now that's a fair point that's a fair point that's a great point now we were talking about that you know how that uh man it was a lot harder to get and um i think all the funds being taken out of it is man i miss the days i mean you go into these dispensaries and you know they know a million they know where it was grown how often was watered when it was being grown i mean i just miss buying it behind like a philip 66 yeah yeah no meeting yeah meeting a dude named uh feel right to walk into like a coffee shop and get a bunch of weed i just no i don't want to go to the geek bar to get my vote no if i'm not meeting a shirtless dude in overalls named big big frank exactly and big Frank got a ride from somebody. Cause he don't have a car,

but he does have an, Oh, we did distribute, you know, Frank with the dank. Yeah. Frank, Frank was,

he always talked like this is Frank. Hey man, I had a, I had a Chevelle with a four 54 in it. We go to the moon. I just punch it. I'd be at the moon in three seconds. Do you understand me?

I'd be like, Frank, you never had that car ever. Well, but I worked on it. Okay, Frank, do you have the weed or not? Yeah, or, you know, they always said it was a gateway drug, you know, weed was. But I thought it was the opposite because I had a dealer who was on Dilaudid. And, you know, you shoot that stuff up. Seriously. You know, first of all, just getting your dealer on the phone, you used to have to call them or page them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And God knows how long it took. Well, and listen, you didn't have a cell phone to carry with you then. You had to sit there at the pay phone for 40 minutes because dude passed out after he shot up. Then you get out there and he passed out again mid-deal. And you can't just walk off. Yeah, well. He hasn't given you a...

No, no, that's exactly what happened. He's got my money. I don't have my stuff. And he's taking a nap. Yeah. Now, one time I did get a bonus that way. One time he gave me the weed the second time and he goes oh and he gave it to me the first time then he goes you know i was about to leave

he goes oh let me give you the wheat and i was like oh okay absolutely bro yeah yeah i was like that's for all my wait time bitch let's pay you back i remember in high school when we'd be trying to find weed and people say it's just dry we can't it's dry you don't have that problem no there is no dry that's right spoiled well no and there and there were only a couple kinds of weed back then the kind that gave you a headache and it kind of got you pretty high and occasionally you'd get something they'd call it skunk it probably wasn't you know yeah but snickle fritz yeah christmas you'd hear hear that Christmas tree was one of them. But, yeah, you'd have lumber in there, like two by fours. Oh, man. Wood shaving.

Yeah, you'd get, you know, two or three grams of your bag was going to be, you know, just stem and seed weight. But you could start a farm. Yeah, you could grow it. Oh, yeah. I think the only way pot's a gateway drug is if you buy it under the arch in St. Louis. That's probably the only way. It's a gateway drug. I think if you're under the arch in St. Louis. That's probably the only way it's a gateway drug. I think if you're under the arch in St. Louis, you're already there.

You're already over the edge, through the gate, down the hill. That's it. Yeah, yeah. So what do you got going on this weekend, Chad? What's happening with you, man? Probably just sitting around the house, poking holes. I got a lot of poking holes to do today and tomorrow. Do you really? You got a full slate.

I got a full day today. Are you trying to break a record? No. No. It's just that Christmas crowd. What'd you tell me, that you had once done like 40 in a day? 40 in a day, yeah. 40 bonus holes in one day.

Yeah, yeah. Man, that's going. That's a lot. You're a paid torture agent. Someday. A what? A paid torture agent. Oh, torture torture agent okay i don't know what i don't know what i heard either but you know you're up yeah i'll give that to myself thank

you yeah that was warranted yeah what's going on at the break room today we are so busy i'm loving it like chad we've got so much um much Christmas business going on. We have had our most profitable day. We did over $2,000 in sales. Man, way to go, you. So many gift cards. We've got huge groups coming in. I'm having a blast. He doesn't know what it is.

I'm going to blow your mind. Here, you define it to him. You tell him what it is. It's a place where you come break shit. Oh, I was thinking it was a pool hall. No. No. You can go in and break, like take your frustrations.

Absolutely. I've heard of those places. Tell them about your different rooms, the setup. Well, we just opened up our third room in the space, one we've been using for storage, basically. But we now have three small rooms, and we have one large room where you can come in and we have electronics we have glass uh toys and we just got um we got punching bags and we got some metal drums that people can just beat the shit out of with a pry bar crowbar whatever wow and we play music and we clean it up you don't have do nothing. That's awesome when you can break shit and not pick it up.

Yeah. Great. We're having a blast. I once got mad at my wife. Not Laura, right? Yes, at Laura. And I wanted to be a badass. And so I just threw a bottle down on the floor.

It bounced? No, it broke. And it took me a week to clean that shit up. Oh, yeah. The house was everywhere. I was finding it, you know, two, three days later. and now it broke uh and it took me a week to clean that shit up oh yeah everywhere i was finding it you know two three days later i was like damn it wow yeah i'm guessing a lot of the music is like hardcore absolutely one of my favorite things is when people come in and we have like jazz playing or we have the chill station because we listen to hard rock, you know, like rage and corn and everything all the time.

Sometimes we just kind of chill it out for a second. People come in there like, hey, you know, I'm like, hold up, bro. I wasn't expecting you this early, you know, and you get to like flick some lip or whatever. I never thought about that. It'd be like showing up to a hooker's place. It's hilarious. Yeah. It's like showing up to a hooker's place and she's in a business suit.

You're like, what's going on here? We love to throw them off like that. But we also, you know, we have Spotify. So, I mean, we encourage people if you've got a playlist or something, especially our big groups. If you've got something you want to hear. Like every song you and your man share. Absolutely. Create the playlist. If you need Beyoncé's Lemonade or something.

All by myself. Bring that shit. Yeah. Bring it and share it with me and we'll rock out. I mean, we know. Yeah. We play break stuff a lot. Oh my God. It is the number one expected song. Bitches are coming in playing Adele.

Well, not that yet, is the number one expected song. Oh, no. Bitches are coming in playing Adele. Yeah. You know. Well, not that yet. Hello. We've gotten pretty close. We've gotten pretty close, but not Adele yet. That's bad. If you say that, it's probably going to pop.

Somebody's going to show up with it on a playlist. But Morgan Wallen, Jelly Roll. I had some folks that just wanted Jelly Roll to play. Wow. Yeah. And it's not always rageful music. It's just what they want to hear. Yeah, it's just a jam.

Sometimes they're just in there to have a good time. It's not, you know, the slow down music. No, no, no. I mean. You're so hard, Kelly. The weirdest thing I've had is Party in the USA, Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA. I was like, are you for real? No, no, that makes perfect sense.

That would piss me off. I'd want to break shit to that song. Yeah. I'd be like, are you for real? No, no, that makes perfect sense. That would piss me off. I want to break shit to that song. I hate you. I hate everybody for playing this. We're having fun. Y'all should come out. Yeah, no, definitely. Yeah.

If you want to get your rage out, what's it run to get a room? 30 bucks a person for 30 minutes. 30 minutes of breaking anything you can break. Everything you can break. Yeah. I mean, don't take hammers to my walls that will get you asked to leave pretty quickly yeah we're not breaking the walls but i mean yeah that had to be interesting to ensure that so what do you want to do again yeah it took me over a year to get in i bet it did i bet you had to work

for that yeah i really really did i bet you did yeah i'd like to try that i think i could i think i could get some rage out i work for wayne after all you know i've got some issues yeah no doubt i could understand that man uh well maybe you know maybe we open it too yeah have him come down there you know before the show or the next day or something can you film it so i can show people man i wish i could just bring people i know's actual stuff in. Some few people I'm mad at. It happens. Do you know how awesome it would be to let them live stream? This is yours,

honey. Hey, I want you to see this. Your kid's Xbox? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Or even just an Xbox. It's not your kid's Xbox, but they think it's their Xbox. Oh, that would be great. Oh, my goodness. That is torture.

Well, I am Demanda. Yeah, no, that's mean as hell. Yeah, what do they use to smash stuff? Bats? We've got bats. We've got sledgehammers, regular hammers. We just picked up two pipes from Habitat. They were just in their little trash bin or whatever.

Oh, nice. You've got pry bars, crow bars. They got pry bars, crow bars. Yeah, they got pry bars, crow bars. Hell, yeah. Yeah. That's great. I mean, what do you want to hit stuff with? Yeah, I mean, if you've got a suggestion, we're open.

Might add golf club. You got punching bags. So the concern with that is that the head will come flying off. Oh, no, you never want the head to come off. No, never want the head to come off. Never, never, never. No, that's bad. No, it's always bad no it's always like serial

So, you know, what we need is just to be able to cover this so that we can go. It's only a week. It's in Tulsa. So that's not bad. But it'll be huge for us because we would be working with a

lot of very successful business entrepreneurs and owners that would personally be coaching and working with us on the business. But it's also a reality competition. And it's on Amazon Prime.

And they finally get that one inmate that breaks them over like a shotgun. And you just see their eyes shift down and they're like oh shit this is real and you're like yeah cry bitch cry yeah uh yeah uh what was it like though they took us to varner cummins they're all together they took us to all the

Check out readfirm.com, readfirm.com, or give them a call 777-7333 all right you know what it's time for baby let's do it he's All right, guys. Earlier this week, a 20-year-old blind cat named Tiki was rescued from an icy pond in Westford, Massachusetts after he was spotted stranded on a piece of cracking ice. A pair of nearby workers, Chris and Nateate used a rowboat to save the struggling cat animal control officials quickly took him to the vet to be treated for hypothermia uh later tiki's owners were located and by that evening he was back home recovering after the harrowing

ordeal what an amazing feel-good story that is right are you freaking feel good for who while you were busy lifting you know lifting up each other's skirts and blowing sunshine up each other's asses, you didn't notice you ruined everything. Do you know how long Mr. Tiki had been planning that moment? Hey, he's 20 years old. Do the cat math on that shit, animal lovers. That's 172 in cat years. Tiki, the 172-year-old blind cat who finally got out of the house

in hours, finding his way to the ice just so he could end it all. And now, all in the world he wanted was to end it, but his selfish-ass owners just, are you kidding me, man?

Now you're trying to lure him with balls of yarn, squeaky mouse toys. He just wants to lay his fat ass in the window until he dies. But no, you guys see him doing nothing. You're like, Mr. Tiki needs some exercise. He's like, bitch, I'm not on the Olympic challenge. I just want to lay my fat ass right here, throw my back leg up in the air,

and lick my own yam bag until I hack a hairball while staring directly into your soul. I didn't want to scratch a post. I don't want to chase remote-controlled balls. I damn sure don't want any more of that so-called fancy feast. I just wanted to lay on the ice, go to sleep, and 11 minutes later, I'm a cat popsicle. Now all I can do is sit, look out the window, and force you to watch me put my tongue bath on my baby boulder. So enjoy.

Next, Haley Welch, a.k.a. Hawk Tua Girl in the news. Not in a good way, not in a good way. Investors in Welch's meme coin, known as dollar sign Hawk Token, have accused Tua the Moon Foundation of unlawfully promoting and selling cryptocurrency that was never properly registered. Planists accused those behind the Whirlwind crypto cell of capitalizing on her celebrity status to create a frenzy and taking advantage of first-time cryptocurrency participants who had substantial losses after the value plummeted more than 90%. Well, you do have to look out for the little guy, right? Are you taking advantage of first-time buyers

if the very first time you invest in crypto, it's a meme coin named after a 22-year-old whose sole claim to fame is the quote, you got to give him that hock too and spit on that thing. And you're suing them? It's because your IQ bottomed like an 89 Camaro with busted shocks. The name of the currency

is meme coin. And you said, seems legit. Did you also load up on fart coin? No, you heard me right. I said fart coin is invisible money

named after anal acoustics. It's a real thing. People give them money. Why? Because there are just some people who think money inspired by cracking your cornhole is an innovative investment. So if there's a group of TikTokers who lost their $200 investment in coins based on an air biscuit, well, Yankee my wanky, young idiots. You think anytime you make a bad choice, it's the world's responsibility? We owe you something. I'll tell you make a bad choice, it's the world's responsibility? We owe you something.

I'll tell you what we owe you. Here's your compensation. I'll drop me pantalones, bend over, and let you pucker up and kiss me right on the turd cutter. But on the bright side, now you can get your money back and invest it in Diddy Dollars. There you go. And finally, speaking of huge, boy, this news story circled back this week and such a blessing. For all of us, a man who was allegedly high on meth reportedly fought off over a dozen police officers while publicly masturbating at the same time. Andrew Frey, 37, made a series of outbursts and began masturbating in an Oregon restaurant.

Incredibly, police were unable to subdue Frey with a taser. It took 15 officers to finally take him into custody and stop pleasuring himself. Are you fucking kidding? You're telling me. It took 15 of you to stop a man who could only fight with literally one arm and only part of his conscious mind? Was this the blind police division or maybe the all amputee SWAT team? But as heinous as this may seem, as disgusting as this guy waxing the weasel in broad daylight is you have to admire his commitment to finish what he started moments where i was seconds from reaching the magical mountaintop and i catch a leg cramp and it's over there's no finish there's no firing of ye old rusty cannons no releasing of fed hounds no penile vortex in the forecast. But this guy, the real Cobra Commander, was so focused on

making that happen. He was able to keep it going as he fought off officers. Now, did he switch hands a time or two? Maybe. But did he miss a beat? Hell no, he didn't. He beat it like it owed him money. This guy's a superhero that's emerged to lead us men out of the wilderness and to wield a beast mode. Was it the first time he took Viagra? Maybe it was more than four hours because dudes get that. At that four hour mark, you'll do anything to make it go down. Pinch it, poke it, think about baseball, try to think about your mom, slap it against the bathroom cabinet five, ten times. Finally, you just go into survival mode. The only thing you can do is try that hot tua thing, you know.

But that doesn't explain why in public. But maybe he challenged himself to make it happen at all costs. Maybe after four hours in meth, you hit temporary insanity and you tell yourself even the demons won't stop you from achieving the O-face. Honestly, though, arrested, somebody

get this guy a cape and keep him away from our wives, if you don't mind. Right. All right, that's it. Hey, that guy for president 2028. Oh, yeah, no, no, he definitely, for whatever the next one is, he should definitely be on the ticket. The multitasking.

Can you imagine the level of commitment that it must take to do that, man? I'm here for it. What do you think, man? 15 guys jim 15 cops 15 cops while he's hitting it you know when he tastes it probably just made his grip stronger and he's like yeah cops are stacking their donuts on it i don't know yeah they're playing ring toss oh my oh that's great that's great. That's great, man. That's great. That's my hero. Yeah, no, that definitely is a hero, man.

I mean, look, I've never had that much concentration on anything in my damn life. You know what I mean? Especially on meth. No, no, that definitely changes your attention span, doesn't it? It does. It does, girl. A little bit. All right.

Hey, let me, Chad and Amanda, let me bring these guys up real quick. They have been patiently waiting, and I want to get them up here. Come on. Maybe let's get the mic. Wait till I break some shit. Yeah, you need to go break some shit, man. You'll have fun, Darren. Come on up here, man.

What's going on, my brother? How are you, man? Good to see you, man. What's going on, brother? What's going on, man? First time on the business? First time caller, long-time listener.

I mean, it is crazy. Everybody comes in and goes, who painted this? And I'm like, bro, that's a rap. That is Game Time Raps. That's how good they are, man.

That's amazing, isn't it? It is. We're thankful to them for helping us, stepping up and doing that for us. They're awesome people. But let me not be rude. This is Darren Riggin. How are you, my brother? I'm good, man.

It's good to see you again. but let me not be rude this is Darren Riggin how are you my brother I'm good man he is by day by trade a contractor and he does a great job but you're my crew working hard right now but here you're here today in the name of your band and music right me and this cat here started a little band about a year ago and hold on who is this cat that is Jeremy Kramer all right Jeremy Kramer Jeremy do you speak? I do speak. There you go. All right.

Just making sure. Just making sure, man. So tell me about the band. What's the name, first of all? Death Metal Disco. Death Metal. That is a phenomenal name. D and D.

I like that. That's a hit right there. You ought to get airplay on that alone. It's something that we've said, me and some friends of mine have kind of said for you. We just, you know, like, okay, cool. Or, you know you know toodaloo go with god and don't care anyone niggles stupid stuff yeah just dumb stuff yeah man we were writing on a chalkboard like for a year trying to come up with and then we were mixing words and looking up words in the dictionary and we're just kind of checking them off and everybody hated everything and that one just

kind of seemed to stick that's no it's a great name i mean i i get it uh now but how does that but what what are you what kind of music are you playing really man you know me it's it's it's heavy um i mean we're it's not death metal we're just no i would we're crazy rock guys i would always have uh labeled you as a hard rock guy i mean it i some people might say metal but it would be the older type metal versus the speed metal. You know, you guys always have had a really rich, dynamic, full-throated hard rock sound to me. And I like to say, you know, we do a little screaming, but we sing too. So there's, I mean, obviously there's bands out there that don't sing at all. No, I know my son loves them all.

That was eight of them right there. Have you heard the Big Squealers? No. I mean, it's a genre, bro. I don't usually ever Google anything like that. Do it. Oh. You mean the sound? Oh, wow.

I mean, they literally take and they end up turning it into. I mean, it's a subgenre, I swear. Jesus Christ, man. How far down the barrel have we gone? Google that. I guess we're just going to start throwing up emojis next. You know, I mean, just guitars and emojis, you know? That's all you need.

All right. So what, you know, when did the band form? You said a year ago? Man, about a year ago. We lost a dear friend to suicide and we played that benefit. Yeah. At the Rev Room for him and raised some money for the family um and we just enjoyed playing together and kind of just kept going and picked the name

and wrote some songs yeah um so we've been going at it about another year past that and we've got a gig january 3rd at stickies that's tickies yeah baby january 3rd at sticky fingers and that is i'm gonna tell you what, man, if you want to have a good time, you want to enjoy music and in a good place, Sticky's is a great, great place to do it, man, because every seat's a good seat there. The stage is elevated really nice there,

and the sound is always outstanding. Chris King's great. Yeah, absolutely. He's done a lot to help us. Yeah, no, I love Chris. You know, I love Chris. Chris and Cezanne, they're both fine people, man, absolutely. He's done a lot to help. Yeah, no, I love Chris. Uh, you know, I love Chris and Cezanne. They're both fine people, man. Uh, so, you know, tell me, uh, Jeremy, about your journey in music. I mean, what, uh, what inspired you? When did you first, uh, you know, get into music? And, you know, probably jump in. Okay.

Yeah, at McClellan High School, I had this thing every year called Sounds of Now. And we would all put together. Yes, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember. Okay.

I did not know that. He's a great friend. He's a great guy. Man, he was, that dude played guitar from damn near the time he was born, bro. His brothers really you know were musical too but uh oh very talented very talented guitar player that's for sure uh so you know how did you get it you've been in music from but the time you were young as well and yeah uh i started out playing snare drum um he's an actual badass drummer by the way yeah junior high

uh man and i just get anything anything musical i can't really get my hands off yeah um and uh while i'm at you a shout out to our drummer uh drew allen drew oh extraordinary yeah man and rick hall is our bass player okay they wanted to be here today but they have jobs and shit i get it it's early in the morning i'm not gonna let people assign me tasks i mean come on no that's what my wife wife asked me, she was like the other day, she goes, why do you, why do you get up so early? I was like, well, that's when the show is. She said, but why do you do the show that early? And I said, well, that's when people are used to hearing me here. So that's why I started. I said, one day when I grow up and the show gets big, you know, I can do it at night, like, you know, you know a talk show uh but today i need

to show up where my people are you know so that's why i show up and get up i was hoping she would be here but i'm now i know why yeah no it's too early right now for her she's got other stuff going on is she'll be uh you'll be seeing more of her soon i promise you that we've been uh we've been working on some things and uh we've got some really exciting stuff coming after the new year. We've been layering in some more stuff. I don't know if you've been watching, but XFL Jim, for example, that dude's absolute insanity, and he's a riot. But we've got Joe Exotic calls in every week. Dude, I saw that.

What? So cool. Yeah, it is cool, isn't it? As a matter of fact, it was Laura I was telling her yesterday. I said, it is cool, isn't it? Yeah. You know, I was telling someone, as a matter of fact, it was Laura, I was telling her yesterday, I said, you know what the weirdest thing is? Look, I, you know,

I know that he's infamous and famous, you know, but when you, when you answer the phone and he goes, hey, Patrick. That's crazy. That's me. He's talking about me. That's me.

He went like, what's up, man? You know, hey, Patrick. Dude, you are giving him a resurgence. I mean, he's back. Man, I'm, you know, I'm trying to get him out there. I mean, look, I. You trying to get him out? Is he still in jail?

He is. He is in jail? He is. And no, I am trying to help him at least get someone to look at it. Because if you look at the evidence of his case, I mean, it's outrageous that he's incarcerated for life. I mean, he didn't even make it to where a murder was supposed to happen. He didn't even try. No one was hurt.

No, he didn't try to hurt anyone. Yeah, it's like a dumb TV show led them to all of this. Well, it's like, you know, he got railroaded. They put him on a bunch of charges and stacked him up and got him, you know. Like they said in the beginning, man, those Tiger people are crazy. Yeah, no, I mean. They're nuts. And sometimes, you and sometimes you know i mean he's very animated very outspoken and he probably at times hasn't been his best advocate i think i heard you say on the air that that there are more tigers in texas than free in all of the world yes that is correct

absolutely crazy yeah i mean it's true though yes because so many people at one point had them as pets, and now they have pets, they're sanctuaries. In Texas, you can own a lot of things, like a tiger. You know, you can't just, you have a tiger. You know, a police officer comes to your door and a tiger comes with you, he's probably going to smoke it. You know what I'm saying? Yes.

Because you can't have that here, man. You can't do that, you know. I didn't know he got life. He's in there for life? Yeah. I didn't know it was that long. No, it's ridiculous, isn't it that here, man. You can't do that, you know. I didn't know he got life. He's in there for life? Yeah. I didn't know it was that long. No, it's ridiculous, isn't it? That's crazy.

Yeah, man. I mean, he's in there for a long, long time. Wow. And, you know, I think it's a travesty because, you know, as I've said many times, I watch the ID channel. You know, I see these true crime stories. I see these guys who've abducted their women. They've, you you know done horrific things to them and then you see that 13 years later they're getting out and i'm like and this guy

who allegedly paid three thousand dollars to an inept hitman who never made it to the state the person he was never even intending to get somehow deserves to be in there more wow what do you what do you think about baskin you think uh didn't theaskin? Did the husband ever surface? No, he didn't. But, you know, they talked about that. I don't know what happened, man. I have no idea. I think he bailed.

Look, did you see her? I would have disappeared, too. I mean, I'm not going to tell her I'm leaving. I'm just going to leave. I mean, she's crazy. Yes. You know, and if you look at her and you go, she might kill me. No, I'm just going to leave leave what's crazy is she wants to do what what he was doing

yeah that's what i did no i guess the point of the show is you know she wants all the tigers yeah that well that no one else can have any right that's what she wanted now they've distributed them but uh yeah her sanctuary was no better it was never any better than uh than his was she had like all these she just had the for free yeah like 200 300 people like working for nothing yeah and afterwards you found out but if you look to on joe exotic official.com uh he's got all this evidence in that's in his appeal on there i mean it shows you text messages between people. It shows you videos of confessions. I mean, there's a litany, like it's no small amount of evidence that's there. And you,

and you're like, and they won't give them a new trial because what they won't at least hear this appeal because what, you know, but they can pick and choose if they want to, or they don't want to hear the appeal and they can just let it sit there and wither on the vine. It's the craziest story I've ever heard of. It's definitely way up there. And it's one of those stories that I didn't even know this because I had wrongfully assumed at least Joe had some money at some point. But he said the first time I talked to him, he was in prison two years before Tiger King came out. That's what I heard.

Yeah, so he didn't get Jack Diddly squat from it you know what i mean yeah i know pretty cool though you got him on you know it's super dope uh to be able to talk to him but uh you know and and we've got you know we've got the loony bin comes in on friday brings amazing comedians like this guy right here that's great sir he's been working all over the world has worked with the best of the best is among the best of the best and yeah but you know i admire these guys because i've tried to be in bands and that's that's like herding cats but a lot of times well i will tell you you know you get four or five adults grown men or whatever and to get them to gel together right you know everybody's got issues or whatever else right we seem to get

along real well and that's that's part of that's that's the key you know i think jack daniels might help that that does help hell better kill it for a while sort of our ritual though isn't it like many days we it's like we can't even hardly plug in without it without we do a shot ritual and then we play and then we do another one you just gotta lubricate the chassis when you get older you know i think you do i'm gonna leave it alone yeah probably better that you do yeah you said hold on there we go i love that uh so uh so tell me again when is your uh show at it's tiki friday january 3rd i think the show starts at about eight with a local band called Aurora.

Okay. Yeah. And I think we can shoot a link to that band. I don't know anybody in it. But Chris put it together, and I have an ultimate faith in him. Yeah, no, they always have great acts over there. I have great faith in Chris and them over there. And this is our –

And Samantha at the Rev. This is basically our first show, so yeah. Oh, that's what it was. So people can come out for the inaugural performance. Yes. That's really cool, actually. We'll be tearing it down in 2020. Now, what about online?

Do you have some music? Do you have a page? What do you got online? We've got a couple of songs that we could link. Okay. You don't have a page yet for your band or anything? Yeah, we need to do that. Yeah, it's probably a good idea for marketing purposes,

just to maybe have a page somewhere or a website or... Shit, I don't have a page yet for your band? Yeah, we need to do that. Yeah, it's probably a good idea for marketing purposes just to maybe have a page somewhere or a website or shit. I'd rather be just called. Yeah, something. Yeah. Now, how can I find you? I don't know. Yeah. Like literally we got this gig and I was like,

how are you going to go? Yeah, it's all kind of going like a thousand miles an hour now. Yeah. This is what happens actually. Let me, I'm being silly, but you know, the chemistry happened so quickly and everything came together so quickly that you really it's been like a lightning storm you had time to get everything done and there's only a handful of you to do it yeah and we you know the

show came up and all of a sudden you know we're on the air with you you know right and we're like you know it's it's it's coming yeah we found it like the night before last let me reach out to patrick yeah yeah. We need stickers. No, that's great, man. That is awesome. No, I think it's great, man. I know the bands that you've been associated with before, Land of Minds, et cetera. Yeah, man.

Great band. Man, I mean, they were always great. I appreciate that. So I have full faith that you'll be delivering this time, too. Guarantee it. Oh, yeah. I guarantee it, man. So you check them out uh for

sure uh hey let's uh let's do this shall we and uh man i want you to participate because we're going to talk about crazy people oh okay my family yeah probably 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 This is really cool. Yeah, I'm sorry, guys. That's really unfair to you that I play that hit song right after we talked about it. I'm really i'm just like uh it's yeah now if you did you'd be selling out arenas uh you know i've got my first arena show coming up uh very soon and i hope uh that you guys might consider opening yeah that'd be great that'd be great all right uh so let's talk about some of this crazy stuff that's going on. And here you go.

Billie Jean is a rescue chicken. Let's start with that. A rescue chicken. Just think about that for a minute. A rescue chicken. Okay. Living at the railway inn in the UK at Gloucestershire has become a local celebrity because of her adventurous spirit and her signature high visibility jacket. Known for following pub goers and kids to school uh billy's explorations led to concerns from locals about her safety

so that's why they put the uh the the yellow jacket since donning the high vis gear she's become even more beloved with some suggesting they should add blue jeans to the wardrobe for some extra flair he already added the weight of a jacket you think it they should add blue jeans to the wardrobe for some extra flair he already added the weight of a jacket you think it wants the the blue jeans too uh a high vis best chicken yeah don't eat this chicken i don't know if i say chicken i just think buffalo sauce yeah that's exactly what i'm thinking i going to fry it. I'll think if I'm taking the jacket off or not. A TikTok theory from 2023 reignited panic with gym goers convinced they can catch chlamydia from gym equipment. The hysteria began after a fitness influencer shared a story about being diagnosed with chlamydia coming from a gym towel contaminated by sweat his story went viral but it's been debunked repeatedly but somehow

it's back out there again that people think they can catch chlamydia from a towel at the gym i can't believe somebody would even come up and even say that yeah you know tell me something you'd be wanting to hide i would think even if it was true, how did you catch chlamydia the first time? I got to tell you. I got to mind the old-fashioned way. We were in the back of this car. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's exactly how it happens. In a bathroom somewhere at a Denny's.

I'm not saying I've been there. I'm just saying that it could be, you know. Move over, hot chocolate. Hot Dr. Pepper is taking the stage as the season's most expected winter beverage. Unexpected. TikTok creators have brought back the retro drink with tutorials showing how to warm the soda and add lemon slices. Warm Dr. Pepper with lemon slices. Could you get down to that?

No. No, no. I don't even like Dr. Pepper with lemon slices. Could you get down to that? No. No, no. I don't even like Dr. Pepper. I think that I would leave my wife if she handed me that. I'm going to be honest. That's insane. Who thought about heating up Dr. Pepper? She would want you to leave.

No, definitely would want me. That's insane. Okay, here we go. Oh, no. Here, let me do this one. All the guy did was start one shootout at a wing stop, and he got banned from all of them. In Indianapolis, Lawrence Sneed pleaded guilty to pointing a gun in a restaurant where he ended up getting shot and losing a kidney.

Witnesses say that he showed up to the restaurant drunk. An argument started with employees. He pulled out a gun, and the employee also pulled out a gun and uh shot his ass i can't believe these people shooting each other over fries and shit this happens all the time man you know what i they're somehow some way all the rage of the world transferred to the fast food places swear i mean these people have been under more fire than most soldiers lately you know what I mean? Or they're losing their mind at the customers.

And somebody the other day got stabbed by an employee at a restaurant. They jumped over the counter trying to whoop them, and the employee stabbed them. You know, but all of them now, I mean, hell, you ought to be strapped. Well, gangsters run McDonald's, so you ought to know. I mean, yeah, you can't go up in McDonald's and mess around, man. You could hurt. Well, you know, most of the Waffle H waffle houses are now like to go you can't even go in anymore no yeah it's all to go it a lot of it is to go i went into a waffle house um man i don't remember where it was at uh but i went in the waffle house and they didn't even have the jukebox going they had a boom box wow on the the bar

and they're they're playing some real aggressive music and real loud touch and uh it was just insanity man it was insanity i was like what in the world is going on here no that's cool just oh yeah no that's great i appreciate it man yeah no good job good job all right uh anyway uh well i want to thank you guys very much for coming on and uh being here man we'll get our facebook page yes man yes come around guys thanks so much patrick yeah man thank you man yeah and uh come on up guys bring y'all up here that's right you walk in you sit down that's how it works here you walk in you sit down come on jp you don't act like you're brand new come on you're not

how to work that into it. Yeah, well, that's great, man. That's great. So tell me about your comedy career, man. How long have you been doing comedy? About as long as JP. Eight years. Eight years. Started about the same man. That's great. So tell me about your comedy career, man. How long have you been doing comedy? About as long as JP, eight years. Eight years.

Started about the same time. Okay. Okay. And you performed in some different places all over the place or are you mainly performing locally? How are you doing? It was locally till I moved. I moved recently to travel for work. So I was living in OKC for a little while, but now I live in San Diego. Oh, really? In San Diego? Wow. Okay, okay. What's that like? It's a bunch of comedy clubs out there. It's like seven or eight grouped up in one area, so I've been getting a lot of work out of there.

Really? What's it like living in San Diego right now? Is it cool? Is it good? Is it bad? What's it all about over there these days? I like it. According to the locals, you live there if you don't want to live in L.A. Yeah. It's not as overpopulated. Yeah, no, I lived in L.A. briefly, and it is not a fun place to live,

I'll be honest with you. I did not enjoy it very much at all. Yeah, I've done a few shows there, but I don't think I will live there full time. I just drive in, do what I got to do to go back. Gotcha, gotcha. What's been going on with you, man? How you been doing, JP? Man, I've been making it.

Just a whole lot of gut got done during hosting at the Looney Bin last week, so that was fun. That's awesome, man. That's awesome. I said that to him and Coleman. That was a fun time. Yeah, man. Henry was great.

We enjoyed having him on the show. Very funny guy, and I know he killed it uh all the shows this past weekend his shows are way different if y'all have not seen him live coming to one of them actual shows where like the people like his fans are like crazy like like want to talk to him watch it like he's on stage now he's so very interesting guy man he's got a real different disposition about him but he's he's good man i liked him a lot yeah yeah yeah who was your uh favorite comic growing up man who inspired you uh favorite so me and jp grew up watching chapelle show together oh there you go there you go before i knew what stand-up was we

just yeah we're watching the actual show so it probably started with well that's if there's probably not a better one to say i mean that's that's among the top of the food chain to me. The Chappelle Show, I think, is the greatest sketch comedy series of all time. I like it way better than, I mean, SNL has had many, many great sketches, but if you compare all the sketches they've done and all the sketches Chappelle's done and you look at the quality, there's no question. I mean, Chappelle, how many fails did he have on a sketch not almost none you know even his bad sketches are good yeah that's what makes them so good yeah no you're right you're right you know uh yeah i still miss charlie murphy man that dude

that dude is one of my favorites of all time man charlie murphy he was such a unique voice uh of his time and era. Amanda, will you get him set up over there for performing here in just a minute? Thank you so much. And, JP, tell people again, who was your favorite comedian coming up? Oh, man, yeah. Like I said, Dave Spade was, like, a huge influence. Outside of that, when it came to actual onstage comedy,

I was, like, a Donald Glover fan going up. Oh, I was like a Donald Glover fan going, oh, okay. Really? Donald Glover, that's interesting, man. Yeah. He's a very talented guy. He's one of those guys kind of like Jamie Foxx, who has multiple skill sets, and he's good at all of them. Yeah.

A lot of people don't know that Donald Glover is also a rapper, as well as an actor uh too you know and he's very accomplished as a rapper uh he's he's had pretty good success i think uh in that yeah i feel like yeah he definitely i feel i honestly don't know if he's still doing stand-up and stuff like that i think it's just straight music now so now i'm just going back and watching other stuff on youtube yeah just listen i know didn't he have a show called atlanta or wasn't he on a show called atlanta yeah i was thinking he was in a show like that that was really good yeah he was in that in community oh was he on community also i didn't know that okay okay i did not know that that's yeah. Amanda said he's stupid funny.

Yeah, he's stupid funny. Huh? Oh, I said stupid funny. Yeah, I got you. I hear you. She's over there speaking from the corner. She can't even. Yeah.

Anyway, so again, when is your show? December 26th. Okay, December 26th. At the Joint comedy theater in our dentist all right man all right well man guys thank y'all so much for coming in man i've i've got a full house today so i'm gonna swap you back out i'm sorry man but i got such a full house today oh thank you appreciate it no no we're so glad to be able to help you out you know good luck on the show and everything and uh stick around and i'll try to get you back up in a little bit okay all right uh amanda uh yeah where's and chad y'all can come back up come on back yes i told i told everybody this morning it's going to be musical chairs today

you know you're taking the potato i want to play with it yeah what do you what do you what What do you think the potato is about? It's just not her being. What's the potato's purpose? To be a potato. Be the best potato it can be. Right? Yeah.

No idea. What story do you think we've lost, Amanda? We've lost them? I think so. Yeah, Amanda's in the wilderness. No,. What story do you think we've lost, Amanda? We've lost them? I think so. Yeah, Amanda's in the wilderness. We stumped them. Yeah, no, we stumped them. So, yeah, it was great to see those guys, man.

It was great to see. I'm glad that they came up and real thankful for everybody that's been involved today. It's been a good show so far. So, let's get into something a little bit different here that I wanted to talk about. I think it might be of interest to you. Is it the potato? It is not the damn potato. I promise you that.

Chad, can I get potato stickers? I mean, yeah, we can probably make that happen. Or do I need to talk to Kristen about that? Probably talk to her. I'm committed to the potato. Like the rocks. So this is a phenomenon and an interesting statistic that's come out. And I'm sure everybody now, now that you don't have cable, you know, you have streaming services and you have lots of different, you know, options and things.

These days, just about anything you want to watch is a click away but not everybody's happy about it some folks who use streaming services say they're overwhelmed by all the options available so this poll says that the average person spends about 110 hours a year or five days looking for something to watch online five days you're just looking yeah wow yeah you see you think that's about right i'll look for 30 minutes fun 45 minutes it's just stuff i don't want to watch yeah yeah have you ever looked for 30 45 minutes and then not watch something yes yes yeah like scrolling becomes the new watching somehow yeah it's go F it. Yeah, it really is. You just click on it and you think about it for a second while you watch the preview and you're like, I might watch that next. Or I'll start scrolling and then I'll, it's usually stuff that I've already seen.

And so I'll like think about that show or that movie or whatever and be like, you know, do the Cliff Notes version of it. And I'm like, yeah, no, I'm good. Oh, it's got that one scene I don't want to see you know and just keep scrolling yeah or you switch out from no let me go from netflix i'll go over to tubi and then you get in tubi and half of those sometimes i get amused reading the descriptions looking at the covers because some of those movies are real shitty over there oh yeah and you look at the cast and you're like oh man that's real special right oh man those are my favorite when you get those like d-list movies or whatever and it's like casper van, that's real special right there. Oh man, those are my favorite. When you get those D-list movies or whatever

and it's like... Casper Van Diem's in it. We're watching it. I'm loving it. I usually give up and just watch Sharktopus or something weird. That's my guy right there. You don't have to care about that. I know it's going to suck

and that's what I want. I can scroll on my phone. I can talk. i can do anything because it doesn't matter uh what's happening and then i can look at the screen and go all those graphics are horrible then i can go back to target you know yeah that's it you know it's a good time yeah and always good to do a little spliffage before you watch shark oh yeah yeah they've made all kinds of shark uh hybrids now haven't they oh yeah yeah sharknado spawned 14 million different clones you know it's probably my favorite um trilogy i guess sharknado well it's no it's beyond a trilogy now isn't it because there's a there's like 37 000 yeah i mean god yeah and ian zellweger or whatever his name is i I think that's Renee Zellweger. Ian Zerich.

Ian Zerich. Whatever. Whatever. You butchered that. Whatever. Basinger, Basinger, whatever. Right. I don't know.

Lanolin. Who knows? Basinger, Basinger. It's Eminem's mom. Whatever it is. Who cares? I don't care. There's Tara in it.

Let's see. What else does it say? It says, while three-quarters of respondents appreciate the algorithms, giving them recommendations, 51% say there's just too many of them because they want to watch everything that's recommended. Almost half of people do not have regular cable anymore. Nope. I would have thought it was way more than that.

I would have thought maybe 70%, 80% didn't have cable anymore. Who's still buying cable? What are they doing to give it to you? Do they even know they're buying it? I don't know. I'm saying maybe they have some deals right now. Should I go back to cable? Are they offering like unbeatable specials now?

You buy older people. Yeah. They don't like the internet. Oh, right. I don't want to deal with it. Yeah. They still got the box. Grandma's's right i can't ever get the channel right i just i get on two and i'm the interwebs confuse me yeah we would take our my grandmother's

um remote control and like put a piece of cardboard or whatever over oh yeah and it just had to cut out of the buttons like we put it on four and leave that bitch on four because she got off before we were getting a phone call and it's like so you had to hide all the other numbers yes we did yes that is one of the greatest things i've ever heard in my life power and four you had to cover all but the four all but the four and the power and the volume yeah i mean it's not like you needed the volume it was all the way up. Right. You could hear it from the front door. Like, yep, Grandma's watching, you know.

The Wheel of Fortune. You know, her stories are on. The Wheel of Fortune. Yeah, she can't hear it or see it, but she sure as shit watching it, you know. Did she pass away already? She did. It's good because she would have wept

when Pat Sajak retired. Yeah. Oh, man. I don't think, I mean, she hasn't really been. She was a Wheel Watcher. Yeah, she hasn't really been. She was a will watcher. Yeah, she wasn't really aware of any of that. Like I said, she was, she had cataracts in both eyes. She couldn't hear, but she said that, you know, this close to the TV and just kind of stared at it.

And you're like, hey, hey, Grandma. I don't mean to be funny, but she was kind of like Tiki the cat. That's fine. Oh. Hey, she'd been ready to go for a hot minute blind and tired and old you know she would have gotten out the door herself she would have been on that ice with me that's why i love amanda right there

you get jealous of the older pigs they don't have that problem with the pick and want to watch. They know they want Good Morning America and Judge Judy. And that's it. I want Judge Judy. My grandma would call them. My grandma called them her programs. The programs. Programs.

Yeah. Damn straight. Yeah. Or my mom, the soaps. Soaps. Yeah. Yeah. Every day.

I wasn't ever a soap person. It was a schedule for her. I wasn't either. At 1 o'clock. At 1 o'clock. There's your childhood trauma. Right? Yeah. One Life to't either. At one o'clock. There's your childhood trauma. One life to live came on. At two o'clock, she was taking a nap.

And I better not wake her up until three o'clock. And that's what she did every day. And four o'clock is just Judy. Or was. No, she was cleaning house. Before trying to get ready. Yeah, she was getting ready because dad will be home know, so you gotta have the house clean dinner, you know No, no, he knew she had a nap Where's my drink? Where's my pork chop? Yeah. It wasn't quite that bad. I mean, it was bad. I didn't live in 8 Mile.

Just Southwest. Yeah, it was Southwest, but it wasn't 8 Mile, you know. Bless it. Yeah, so talking more about your stand-up, man. Yeah, no, no, no. So, you know, who else have you performed with that you really enjoyed working with that you're like, man, I really feel like that. That was a good thing, man.

Oh, you know who I really like always like working with was Harlan Williams. Oh, man. I worked with him a couple of times. He's just a cool guy. He's so off the wall and weird. You know, you never know what he's going to do. Actually, he reminded me a lot of Emo Phillips. I worked with one.

I remember. Remember Emo? Of course I do, man. Cool guys, you know, and Emo back when I was a kid, like I see him on TV all the time. Late 70s, early 80s, you know, when I was little. Yeah, of course I do, man. Cool guys, you know. And Emo, back when I was a kid, like, I'd see him on TV all the time. All the time, yeah. Late 70s, early 80s, you know, when I was little. Yeah, it's so weird now, you know, if I were to reference Johnny Carson, for example. Yeah.

Half of people have no clue who the hell Johnny Carson is now. Most of the younger people, my daughter's people, her age, I feel like their comedy knowledge goes back to about maybe Will Ferrell. You know, that's as far back as they go. Will Ferrell founded comedy. You know, they know Adam Sandler. I mean, they couldn't pick Buster Keaton out of a lineup if they had to, you know. Look, I saw Will Ferrell. You know, he's in a new movie.

He's going to come out with Reese Witherspoon. And it's a new comedy that they're doing. Reese Witherspoon and it's a new comedy uh that they're doing but I was like it's so weird right now because all the people that I thought were amazing in Hollywood all the big celebrities of my childhood they're all old as shit now right they're old man and I looked at Will Ferrell and I went Will you're looking old bro oh my god man I'm glad i don't but you do bro uh yeah no it's it's wild to watch you know these big celebrities that that uh you just loved and they start getting older yeah and uh and it's a weird place to be you you start to go uh-oh yeah well they're all starting to look like that i'm next oh shit it's my time you know yeah yeah no it's true uh so what when you

were a kid growing up what tv shows did you watch what were your favorite tv shows as a kid like when i was a little kid i remember watching electric company hey well now that was a great show though yeah morgan uh freeman started out yeah the vegetable vampire and uh what was that That was a great show, though. Yeah, it was. You know Morgan Freeman was on it? Morgan Freeman starred on it. Yeah, Vincent the Vegetable Vampire. And what was that cartoon? It was a cool cartoon. It was like, I can't remember. Something Force. G-Force.

G-Force. G-Force. Oh, hell yeah. With Tiny was one of the characters. Man, you know what? You're the first human being on the planet I've met who remembers that show. I love that show. Because I've been talking about that since I was little.

And everybody's like, what are you talking about? since I was little and everybody's like, what are you talking about? There's like a chick called the Prince, a princess, tiny, you know, they had this dope ass spaceship. I don't know. It was cool. You know, G-Force, that was the name of it. Yeah.

And Scooby Doo. I remember when I was like, I would get, I would get mad because I'd have to go to bed and I'd hear my parents in the living room. Like they'd be watching taxi and Carson and mash. They'd watch a lot of yeah and I hear them laughing I'm like what is with those shows you know Barney Miller Barney Miller that's a good one hey when you have a character and his name is fish or woe to hoes yeah remember woe to hoes yeah yeah no yeah we we would uh put uh uh you know remember guardians of space probably in that I know they were popular in the 80s. You'd go to the state fair or whatever and you'd win

like a little square mirror. We would tape those on our doors and leave the door open enough that it reflected the TV so we could watch the TV from our room while hearing it. We MacGyvered it and my parents

didn't know that was what was going on, you know, because every time they'd come by, you know. But, yeah, we were watching it. And so we'd get to see a lot of that, although it was reverse and weirdly proportioned. You know, I didn't know Johnny Carson was skinny until, you know, years later. Well, I used to watch scrambled channels until I'd see a nipple on there, you know, for two seconds. Oh, there was a boob. i saw a boob on cinemax yeah no we we we had uh i never forget

the first cable box we had only had 12 or 13 channels it was a a rectangular box with like black buttons on the top and there were little holes in the side and i would take a toothpick and work it until i could somehow it would get the signal to stop rolling and start de-scrambling it yeah and now it was either a flick constantly that was black and white or you could go a little faster and get the color yeah and if it was nipples we wanted the color yeah you don't want a black and white nipple it's not it's not the same it's a dull world like a hersey's kiss wow but i have a at home i have a old replica uh remember the phone and like annie griffith with the pickup yeah yeah yeah i showed it to my daughter and i'm like what

do you think that thing is and she's like a mousetrap she like she had no idea she thought it was a mousetrap wow i'm telling man, like the technology that people have seen in their lives. Oh, no. Even my grandma probably was around when radio was the thing. And now we have the internet and AI. It jumped really fast. And people don't realize how fast things have gone. They've progressed, you know, because you're absolutely right about things like that.

You know, where they don't know. My son, when he was uh nine years old we were riding in a pickup truck that i borrowed to go get a christmas treat uh from my mom and dad and he said hey dad what's that and i'm like put your hand on it what are you talking about he goes this thing right here i said you know what that is he said no i said that's a it's a manual window crank. It rolls the window down. Wow. He was never in a car that didn't have power windows. So he didn't even know what it was.

He was amazed. He's like, oh, really? Oh. Oh, man. That's awesome. New toy. That's how I was when the power window was going, oh, oh. You show him that side window, you know, like the little crank. Oh, yeah.

That's right. What? yeah. That's right. Yeah. That's your cigarette window. That's your cigarette window. Yeah, man. The cigarette window. That's right. Grandma used to have that thing blowing.

A push lighter. 20 degrees outside and it'd just be blowing that shit. No, I'd always love it when Dad would throw a cigarette and it'd come back. Oh, man. Oh, shit. Hit you in the back. In the back seat. He'd be like, pick that shit up before it burns the seat.

Yeah. Like it was my fault. Like I invited it to hit me, you know. He wasn't worried that it landed on my eyebrow and melted it. He said it would hit the seat. His ashtray was full in the front. He needed to use the ashtray. Right, right, right.

So he just needed you to put that out for him. That's true. He did. Yeah. It's like a cactus of cigarettes. Dropping all the ashes. Yeah, no. We were filthy, dropping all the ashes yeah no we were filthy nasty people that's what we were i remember my sister got a new car and my dad couldn't believe there was an ashtray in it yeah there's no ashtray in the car what the hell is this shit

you know make me stop smoking is this america or not where's the cigarette lighter what's going on that was when it tripped me when the seat things, I never, like they're the most dangerous thing in the world, man. What, cigarettes? No, the cigarette lighter. Oh, the cigarette lighter. No, because. Cigarettes are delicious. Yeah, no, cigarettes, you know.

But you take that thing and you go to light it and the whole cherry would come off. Oh, man. I remember. Oh, son of a bitch. Yes. Mine had a real aggressive spring in it, so when it popped, it would pop all the way. Oh, man. It would be on the floorboard and glowing red hot and just.

Yeah. And you'd reach down trying to get away. Oh, shit. Did you ever see the little pipes that you could put in there? What? It was like a little pipe. It was a hidden pipe. No.

It had like a little smoking thing on it and everything. What? You'd push it in there and it'd heat up and then you could hit it from the. Yeah. You could sell it from the, yeah. They used to sell them at the head shop. I want that. That's cool. Now what we did is we punched the lighter in, then pop it out and drop a roach in it

and just go. There you go. There you go. That's how it went. No, yeah. That was the OG roach pipe. You know what I mean? You just pass it back before it goes out.

It's called a vaporizer. Yeah. You know what that was? Nice. Redneck vaporizer. We were nasty, dirty people. and you just pass it back before you go over yeah nice we were nasty dirty people oh man that's why we're gonna you know when you were when you were desperate you'd make a bong out of anything right yeah fruit apple you know blocks man all kinds of stuff we shouldn't have been like copper yeah it's lead know what they they have found recently and i i've been i've been saying this for years which is that you know when we were when i was a kid

listen they literally we spent most of the time outside digging in the dirt animals yeah going in the woods yeah and everything that they don't want kids do now and guess what happened my I have an immune system of life it's crazy I can walk through an AIDS ward and kiss everybody come out the other side just you know it doesn't work by kissing, right? You got to actually. Amanda's going to make sure you get it. I need you to understand. Make sure you get it. Are you trying to?

And then we'll cure you. It's fine. Are you trying to science my fucking punchline? It sounds like it. You just science my punchline. I'm sorry. I woman-splain to you. Late-splain.

I love it. I love it. I do. I do. I appreciate that a great deal. It's the potato. Yeah. Oh, man love it i do i do i appreciate that potato yeah oh man it's the potato it's not her being she i don't know what you're doing there okay so back to where we were yeah we were at some point uh more than three quarters of streamers are frustrated with service charging extra fees for certain content, while 69% are upset by a platform pulling a show they were watching without notice. Pulling out.

Yeah, pulling out on you. So here's my question on that. Are people starting to get as mad at the streaming services as the cable companies yet? Is it getting that expensive for people? Are they starting to? Oh, man, YouTube just went up. I don't think so. Did it?

Yeah, no, YouTube's going up. $10 is like $80 or $79. It's stupid. It's up there, man. For a YouTube premium? A month. Yeah, that's what I pay. It's insane.

I know. You get to skip ads that way, right? Oh, hell no. I get all the ads and everything, man. $79 a month. As soon as the. You just get some old movies and stuff, or what? You get unlimited DVRs about the only thing I really found out out of it.

A DVR. It was the only place I could watch wrestling. You could watch all your movies and keep an unlimited library of it. Okay. It comes in handy. When you don't have nothing on television, you could go to the little DVR thing. Because you don't have enough to fuse from. Like we were talking about surfing earlier.

No, you just get overwhelmed. So you're like, I'm just going to make my own fuse. There you go. I mean, we're spoiled. Man, but you know what? With the accessibility of it. But nothing's changed. I'll be honest with you.

I'm not worried about it. Nothing's changed because we used to go to the movie store. You're still bored AF too. Right? And walk around the movie store for 30, 40, 50 minutes. Can I watch this? Can I watch this? And you'd finally find one and you'd realize there was nothing behind it.

Nothing behind it. Man, them days suck, man. Walk up to the counter, hey, is anybody turning? Right, right. You're stalking that return. Whenever they started renting games, like, the kids would never bring the games back. Never bring it back. They'd be waiting for, like, a game for, like, a month.

Like, where's this kid live, man? Like, where's this damn game back then? Yeah, what's his mama's name? Yeah. I'm going there. I'm going to get that game, kid. Yeah, no we we were we were pretty independent we we rode a lot of bikes uh all over hell's half acre my parents never knew

where the hell we were just if we weren't back at a certain time we were lights came on but they didn't give a damn we could have rode didn't even care about that i could have got on a truck went to oklahoma and came yeah oh yeah as long as i was back by the porch light it didn't matter i went to memphis one time and my mom didn't know that's what's up that is what's up how'd you get to memphis by the way went there and went back i went with the buddy that was old enough to buy liquor it was on a sunday went up there and bought liquor and came back wow never figured no that's because you didn't have gps and you couldn't know man now listen i'm telling you man you you they'll they'll find my wife calls me hey where are you i see you're over oh man you got a showing over there and i'm like what what come on man are you stalking me

They've got a lot of beers on tap there. I think 14 different ones. And then also they now have food all the time because they've got Slater's Alaskan dumplings. And man, if you hadn't had those, they, I think they have pork, chicken, another kind of potato, and they've got all kinds of, whether it's teriyakis, barbecue, doesn't matter what it is. Man, it it's good stuff so get over to stone's throw if you get an opportunity and you like some beer uh just they came in here the other day now they come in every week and we do a beer sampling and uh they brought in they just call it regular beer it's their regular beer because everybody can go what what's how much is just a regular beer

what it tastes like that was amazing like a budweiser, like a Bud Light Michelob? It was a lager, but here's why I'll tell you I liked it. Because I'm not what somebody might call a beer aficionado. You know, I'm not that guy. But what I like about it is most of the time to me, beer leaves a bitter taste. That beer finished like water. So it tastes really good, but the finish is soft. Yeah.

I don't know if that's how you would properly describe it, but that's how I would describe it. Yeah. Yeah. If I was describing weed, I could probably do that. Yeah. Terpene. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Terpene. You should write for the cannabis website. You know, I really probably should, to be honest with you. You know, but that's something else after the first year that we that that we've been working on yeah we're gonna get that happening we're gonna bring a cannabis expert in uh regularly to talk with us about different things to do with cool you know the science of of the new weed because it's very different than what a lot more weed was yeah powerful well it's not only that it's that you have all these different terpenes and you know

used to be we just talked about thc you know how high we get you basically is what we thought that was but now science tells you there are different kinds of terpenes that create different kinds of effects along with the thc did you know you could eat like certain things that have terpenes in it after you smoke or before you smoke it it'll enhance your high like if you smoke something like mango that's got terpenes in it after you smoke or before you smoke it it'll enhance your high like if you smoke something like mango that's got terpenes in it like the mango terpenes yeah it'll make you higher when you smoke yeah it interacts interacts with the terpenes and that's interesting yeah it's wild yeah not not surprised by that but didn't know you could do it like that but i know that uh when they make these hybrid weeds you know the difference it just used to grow up and

and they put in your bag right and you get it you know stem the difference, it just used to grow up and they put it in a bag. Right. And you get it. You know, stems, seeds, whatever, that's how it works. Now, you know, they lab this stuff out, you know, hybrid it, and then they spray it with terpene. Oh, yeah. You know, so it gets sprayed with terpene. Spray-za. The what? Spray-za. What's the spray-za?

That's what they call it, the za. Oh, the za? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about over there. The za. The spray-za, yeah. There's a lot to know, so that's cool what i'm talking about over there yeah there's a lot to know so that's cool to know man you could write up yeah yeah it's just different and so you know it's something that i think we want to know more about we want to be more educated about i think a lot of people that you know go to dispensaries or uh you know

vibe with the weed uh they they want to know more you know now some people just go and go i'll tell whatever but now most people put the weed in the bag yeah most joint i'm leaving yeah right most people uh go in when i'm at the dispensary and man it's like the first time at mcdonald's they're looking up oh man you're lost so tell me uh what does that what is and when i'm like you're standing behind that person, too. I just want some green crack. Can I go or not? Here's some money.

I'm one of those people, though. I look at the menu. I'm like, I don't know what I'm looking at here. So someone explain it to me. Yeah. No. And a lot of it has to be. It's like my wife, she sent me when i went the

other night she was like listen okay i want to try gummies oh man i'm like okay all right i'll get you some she goes no no stop i'm like okay what she goes i don't want the weakest okay she goes but i don't want the strongest i'm like i figured that yeah and she goes and i don't want something that tastes like this and i'm like okay yeah you know i said why don't you go sounds like you need to go to the dispensary why don't you get a card i'm gonna bring you something back you can try it and like it or not you know that's how it's gonna work picking out shoes i'm not doing that either you know no your taste what you like right now it's dangerous to

pick out any clothes for a woman he's gonna buy my daughter's stuff and now i'm like this is cool right she's like no you're stupid yeah no it's uh nothing you think is cool is probably cool anymore no uh no it's it's a very different uh universe uh right now yeah yeah uh you know i mascara is cool for dudes now no oh really yeah chad are you rocking mascara today no my son is not either no chad you like to rock some some foundation though don't you oh man i need to some days looking at myself on the show no that's just the shitty lighting man i i gotta get something to warm it up in here because we all look like we're ghost man i look white oh yeah my eyes always look tingy i swear i'm not high every morning that's a damn lie tingy as hell on here is that i look tingy oh my god like the holiday

in to call me tongue lee oh my god you can't even say that man what's wrong with you that's what they called me. Yeah, no. Just to give you a little of that right there. A bullshit? A bullshit. Yeah, that's it. You're going to get a little of that. All right.

So here in just a minute, we're going to have an amazing, amazing acoustic performance coming up. Yeah, that's coming up in just a few minutes and uh i'm super excited to have this artist in the house and uh you will be too uh this we as a matter of fact before uh here in a minute let me just bring him up come on up here and sit down man let me bring him up here now because i owe him an apology anyway come on up here and have a seat man good to see you man how you doing man i'm great how are you. Now you got to get right up on the mic like this, man. All right. Kind of like this there. No, no, you can stay that close. I'll adjust the sound here. So last time that he came, he came in Friday before and yeah. And we, we thought we had done something wrong here. We thought we had hit something, messed something up, didn't pay the bill, something.

And then we found out all of downtown was out of power. And that's why that we had no internet. I thought it was just me. You just thought it was your luck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell everybody who you are, man. My name is Mark Fisher. I'm a songwriter from B.B. Arkansas.

And I write songs. Yeah. There you go. Yeah he's uh he's probably being a little bit uh modest here uh tell everybody a little bit about how you started in music well um i don't remember it was a long time ago patrick i really just always wanted to play um so i just learned and played when i was about 16 and i wasn't allowed to have a guitar really that was as a kid yeah and um you know some things happened my dad bought me an old harmony guitar i don't know if you're familiar with the harmony guitar you always have to fight with those because they suck so bad yeah like a bottom rung of guitars yeah it was the trash guitar of its time and that's exactly what i did with it i trashed it

on stage one night but anyways um i learned a few chords and chords, and nobody taught me anything because I really didn't. I just kind of learned by accident, you know, and just playing. I didn't have anything else to do, you know. Yeah. No, that's because we didn't have shit to do back then. There weren't 3,000 channels. There were none, or the one channels that were on,

your parents were watching, so you had to go do something else. And it went off at midnight. Yeah. Yeah, it was done and then yeah but uh but you know after i learned a few chords i started putting songs together myself and uh you know just fun to do and so i continued to do it for a long time and eventually got okay at it yeah okayish yeah you know and um well you know started writing songs and uh finally uh was good enough i guess put a band together i was in a band for about 16 17 years called the gin river outlaws yeah and we played everywhere yeah the gin river outlaws you look them up they they hey they were around bro you hear me they were around we burn out really bad in the um early 2000s you know we played hard and heavy in the 90s

and when i say hard and heavy i mean hard and heavy right every almost every night somewhere um and you know it's easy to get burned out so no when you're on the road i mean a lot of people you know think that it's uh that being a rock star is all glory and fun uh but it's not no you know a lot of it is a hurry up a lot of it's cramped in a van driving or a bus it's not fun all the time no no i mean being on stage it is yeah yeah i mean but everything in between here and there yeah much like comedy you know i mean you're on the road all the time you did I mean you sometimes you just say go crazy with boredom You have to find ways to entertain yourself, which I guess feed your comedy, but it's like man. Yeah But but in in rock and rolls case not only are you bored, but you have to carry shit, too

We don't have to carry anything except our ass up the stairs to the club about it this guy here is carrying equipment all kinds of stuff well you know luckily i just play guitar yeah see it wasn't that bad for you it's not like a drummer you know they gotta carry oh man no you're right about that no you're absolutely right uh so you know now you you've been doing uh solo since then yeah well we um we kind of broke up well i don't want to say broke up we didn't really break up we just kind of disbanded yeah um kind of ran out yeah about 2005 um we just wasn't anything else to do yeah we just kind of cool i'm cool i'm out yeah we did it see you man yeah that was

kind of how it was and um and then i i just from that point i just kept writing songs and then didn't really wasn't really able to put anything down on record and finally a friend of mine named jeremy greenwald he said hey i've got a friend named seth freeman who has a studio in fairfield bay called sunny day studios yeah awesome place to record if you're a musician go go there yeah i heard that name before you know make note of that musician uh seth is an awesome musician a blues guy okay and uh he produced my record better angels yeah and the the record is just an accumulation of songs that i wrote after you know after the breakup you know of my group and i didn't really you know i didn't really have the resources to get it done until my friend said hey

look i'll fund your record if you want to go make it go do what you want to do and i did and i got the record i wanted you know the record i always wanted to make it's called better angels um i had some of the some of the best you know musicians you know that you can come up with play on the blade on it um you know seth played pretty much everything wow bass drums okay so he's he's a session musician for you yeah yeah and awesome and his dad jeff freeman uh came in and played guitar a great country guitar player yeah i mean just awesome and uh a guy named jimmy rollett came in and did guitar mandolin uh that's a pretty great name, Jimmy Rowlett. That's a good name.

Awesome musician. He's got a group called Rock City Jukebox. I need to get them and tell them to come see me too. I'll talk to them. Yeah. But, you know, man, we just had a great time. I had a harmonica section. It's kind of funny to say I had a harmonica section. It's kind of funny to say I had a harmonica section,

but there was two guys playing harmonica on my record, a guy named Ralph Hurt, who's awesome, blues harmonica player, and a guy named Nathan McCombs played, I think, a song or two. You know, that's an instrument that, when properly employed, is actually amazing. Yeah, I can't do it. I've tried to do the Bob Dylan thing, you know, with the little thing around it.

I can't get it to work. No, I couldn't even play a kazoo, man. What are you talking about? Much less that. Well, you know, and play a guitar and remember words and blow. Yeah, that's a lot to do. That's a lot to do for sure. All right.

Well, what we're going to do, we're going to take just a quick intermission just so I can move cameras over and get him set up. And he's going to do a live acoustic performance for us. And I promise you, you're going to be very happy about it. So stick around just for a second and let me get this going for you. Okay. Let's do this. Okay. All right. you you you okay everybody let's get us into camera three here Okay, everybody.

We won't pick you up otherwise. All right, and ladies and gentlemen, let's do it. All right. This is Mark Fisher, ladies and gentlemen, let's do it. All right. Mark Fisher, ladies and gentlemen, Mark Fisher. This song I wrote with the guy that got me into songwriting, a guy named Russ Lindsey, who is a longtime friend of mine. One day he called me on the phone. Well, I say David. It was really very early in the morning, about 2 o'clock in the morning.

He texted me out of the blue with some lyrics, and then I wrote some lyrics, and then he wrote some lyrics back, and the next thing you know, we had a song. It's called Better Angels. It's the title track to the record, and it's about finding a better version of yourself. And, you know, here it goes. I've been lost for all these years But I can't escape my fear

I try to get away but I can't move In solitude I find Nothing close to peace of mind I got no one and nothing left to lose Then it occurred to me In a manner so to speak, I need to look into the forest to see the trees. There's a teardrop in my eye, for the life I left behind. Now I just sit back in disbelief I've been chasing little angels

But they always run away Every time I need answers Every time I pray All alone I'll see the sunset As the daylight disappears I'll keep on chasing better angels Till the sun dries up in tears guitar solo It was all that I could handle

I felt like a burned out candle A drowning man reaching for some rope Lost myself in sorrow I put life on till tomorrow Now I see that there's always hope I've been chasing better angels But they always look away Every time I need answers Every time I need answers

Every time I pray All alone I'll see the sunset As the daylight disappears I'll keep on chasing better angels Till the sun dries up in tears guitar solo

So listen, I do want to mention again, one more time before we go, that we, as in the show, we applied a while back for a reality program called The Blocks. It is an entrepreneurial-based show that helps businesses grow and become much better, but it's a competition too. So we went through the process. We did the application. We answered the questionnaire. Then we did some video stuff back and forth. Then we did the interview. And then finally, the first of the week, they notified us we had been chosen to be on the show, which is amazing for us. It's on Amazon Prime. It's going to be awesome. But we do have to cover our expenses of everything. And, you know, two months in, we don't have a budget yet. Everything's used just to keep it going. So we've got to go fund me for that. If you can help, man, it's awesome.

It'll help us get this done. It's a week. We go to Tulsa. We work with Wes from the challenge and all these entrepreneurs, and we could win some big money, but the best thing is it's going to help us make this even better for everybody involved. So if you can give, that's great. A buck, five bucks, 10 bucks, doesn't matter't matter any amount will help us and we're so thankful to all those who have been giving already because a lot of you have jumped up to uh to help us out and it just means the world uh that we have your support on that uh just real quick i want to thank a couple people uh who have done that uh let me just uh pull that up real quickly.
