Worker satisfaction is at a record low. People are looking for new jobs at the highest rate since 2015. Some of the issues causing the trend are employees being given more duties,

budget cuts, and broken management practices.

Check this out. For 25 years, a California woman named Marcella had been searching for her younger brother Tommy. He went missing back in 99. Despite losing hope, believing he'd never be found, when a friend shared a USA Today article earlier this year about an unidentified patient in a Los Angeles hospital, Marcella immediately recognized him. With the help of the sheriff's deputy and a fingerprint test, it was confirmed the non-verbal patient was her brother, Tommy. She said, I'm still in shock. He was last heard from in July of 99.

He called her from a truck stop in Idaho. His van was later found at Yellowstone. He was never heard from again. Over the years, she had searched through missing persons and unidentified remains, hospital patient lists. This article reignited her search, led her to post her brother's photo online where a flood of responses urged her to follow up. She contacted

the hospital, law enforcement helped her confirm it was in fact her brother leading to a joyful reunion. She expressed gratitude to the officer in the hospital and everyone reflecting on the tragedies and the long search that her family has gone through. She said when I look in those eyes I feel that older sister protectiveness. I've always been his protector. Well she never gave up. That's cool. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, they're no longer gonna fear us They're coming to help So they'll no longer hide from us. They know they've been Subjected to being captured by people in power, but they mean no harm.

Just as they helped us build civilization many years ago. Did Giorgio write this, Giorgio with the hair and aliens? I don't think so. What does it sound like? They'll help us stop destroying our planet through climate change. Stop it. Stop with the shit, man. You see, this is one of the rabbit holes I know fine with the aliens but they're not coming because of climate

change in their five-year plan vision board. You think they care about global wheat? You think they're on another planet across the universe? You think they care about pollution? Are you serious? How stupid are you? Oh my God! It's just so dumb. I am going to make a vision board based off of what I think aliens would do for us. No, that's actually valid though. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. Oh my God, I'm so here for it. It's just unbelievable.

You know what? I don't know anything about that. I think a lot of the things that we see or that people see typically are probably crafts from other countries. Yeah. I don't know if there are or not aliens here at the time, but I'd be arrogant as hell to think in this giant universe that we're the only ones here. Yeah.

You know, for sure. I don't know about aliens living under the ocean. I mean, that's the new thing now. I mean, that's probably the best spot to keep their vision boards. Yeah, no, that's where I'd keep my vision board if I were an alien. Best alien movie abyssyss, with water.

Oh, with Ed Davis? Yeah. What's his name? Harris. No, Harris. That is such a good movie. It is a great movie. Yeah, no, that's a great movie.

A recent trend among male college students involves eating honey packets before you're not out partying. These honey packets are marketed as over-the-counter sexual enhancers. The trend got attention after a TikTok video from Arizona State University went viral, where students discussed taking multiple honey packets in one night. While sexual enhancers, like these are typically designed for older men, experts suggest younger users may be turning to them due to the social

pressure or performance anxiety. Honey packet apparently is not honey. I'm guessing. I'm guessing. Health experts are warning against this practice due to serious health risk. The FDA has issued multiple warnings about these packets, which contain hidden pharmaceutical drugs and ingredients can cause dangerous side effects, blood pressure, chest pain, heart attacks, especially when mixed with alcohol.

So I guess what these folks are just making their own erectile dysfunction things and packaging them up. A little yang-a-lang or whatever in it, you know? Yeah, they're just like a, they're just going to what, buying different things. And I don't even understand what's going on. No, don't make your own Viagra. And do you really need to go that long? How long do you need to go?

Thank you. Look, when you become a grown-up, you realize that most people don't want to do an hour. It hurts. Boom. You get tired. You know, look, I got shit to do. people don't want to do an hour. It hurts. You get tired. You know, look, I got shit to do. I got a show to watch. Seriously. I want to make dinner, you know, about eight, nine minutes.

Let's really give everything we got eight, nine minutes. Come together, get it going, get it good, make it happen. And then boom, back at it. I agree with that. Yeah. That's, that's called efficiency. Yeah. Yeah.

And honestly, you know, y', you only work on your four game. You have a game and you handle that shit because like, yeah, it is weak, isn't it? Weak. I bet I don't mean to speak ill of Gen Z or whoever the latest is. But I bet you guys are a little bit complacent on that, aren't you? Hmm. Are you complacent on that? Yeah, I bet you guys are a little bit complacent on that, aren't you? Hmm. Are you complacent on that? Yeah, I bet you are.

I don't know, but they're the, you know, the, the new generations are eating ass. Oh my God. Like, I don't know. Maybe you'll just are in a whole other realm. I mean, I would assume that that, if it is being too quiet over here, like I want some feedback. I would, I would know what I was thinking the whole time. He was reading this is like, I'm surprised that there's not a booth on Broadway set up.

Yeah, right. I'm like, I can see this being like for if you're ever on Broadway in Nashville. Yeah. It's everything you would think it would be. And then some, you know, really I'm surprised it's not made its way down. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's, that's's not made its way down. That's funny. Yeah, no, that's very funny.

Do you like Matt Rife? I like when I see little clips of him, you know, just the little quick little reels or whatever. I never, I haven't seen him live and I have not seen the Netflix. Okay. Isn't he coming to town soon? I may be.

He may be coming. Um, Matt Rive, uh, setting the record straight about his looks. And now Matt, he kind of blew up on Tik TOK, uh, because not only is he a comedian, but kind of a pretty boy, right? He credits delayed puberty, not plastic surgery for his facial changes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Uh, yeah, I'm not believing that whatsoever. Yeah. Same thing happened to the Kardashians, right? Yeah. He addressed rumors calling out Tik TOK doctors who insist his new jawline must be the result of surgery. He said, how do you not lose your license?

He denied having the time or money for procedures during his career. Well, here's what I do know. He may not have had those procedures, but if you look at the Matt Rife pictures before his teeth were pretty bad. Yeah. He was probably missing a few of those chicklets in the back Yeah, and that he did the man does your jawline thing it does And so when he got his teeth fixed it probably did straighten up absolutely that a lot of that, you know Yeah

Yeah, that jawline on the vision board. He's like, how am I going to make this work? How can I make this crispy? You know, teeth make a difference. Yeah, he just I think he just sold out Madison Square Garden, actually. Wow. Which is really big. That's a huge deal. Yeah, that's I mean, that's a pretty big deal. Just even perform at Madison's Garden as a comedian. Not many can even do that.

You know, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, those kind of guys do but that shows you the power of social media the same with Dane Cook. Yeah you know Dane Cook was a MySpace baby and that's how he launched himself was through MySpace and Matt Rife is a TikTok baby you know I mean honestly because nobody knew about, I mean, honestly, because nobody knew about Matt. I mean, a handful of people wherever he's from. Yeah. Until TikTok. And still, I bet. No clue.

I bet over half of people still wouldn't know who he was. I would agree with that. You know, but nonetheless, he's still selling out Madison Square Garden. Madison Square Garden. That's crazy, isn't it? That's insane. Isn't that wild? I just saw where Creed played it the other day too with three doors down

And it's really makes me happy that the two thousand rocks come back the two thousands are back. Yeah, well, it's about time for that You know, what is it 25 years later? That's about the time to cycle back Is it gonna be all sad emo again? Wait, oh like now that it's coming back. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I guess it could be man. I guess it could be they know they got the uh, what's the name of that festival out in Vegas now when we were emo and when we were young when we were young. Okay, like that's the thing now. So I'm sure it's gonna come back around. Yeah, the emo is gonna be back around. Yeah, you know girls were always the ones that

My hair again like half across my face, like do the super-short part and like take it across here. So I have to keep my head like this all the time so I can see you. The one I look. Guys would target the emo girls. Like they felt like it was the low-lying fruit. Yeah.

Yeah, the damaged goods. It was. The damaged goods. It was the damaged goods. In the 90s, it was the manic pixie. And then now it's, you know, the two thousands is the, the emo girl, the emo girl, now it's the newcomer recovery meeting and y'all are dicks. That's great.

That's great. Let's, let's switch gears here a little bit. Does your cat hate you? Here kitty, nevermind. I'm going with yes. Maybe it's because you make him poop in that crappy litter. I'd hate you if you made me do that. Oh, I do hate you.

Introducing Glitter. Glitter is litter made of diamonds. Diamonds, you've heard of them. Jay-Z's cat poops on diamonds. Are you saying Jay-Z loves his cat more than you do? Dick. If you get your cat glitter litter made of diamonds, maybe his attitude will improve.

Pooping on diamonds will do that. And if Jay-Z can afford litter made of diamonds, anyone can. If your cat is still mean after you give him diamonds to poop on, he's probably just an asshole. Just stop feeding him glitter litter made of diamonds because your cat deserves better. No one likes you.

I don't know where you find that music, but it's awesome. Well, I appreciate that. I do. I really appreciate that. No one likes you. No one likes you. What? No, that's right. That's right. So what's been going on in your world, Luke? What's been happening with you, man?

A lot, man. I've been traveling quite a bit. You know, I've been working on co-rides for other bands, too. I'll be back in Nashville on Saturday. Got some rights with, I forgot to speak English for a second. I've got some rights with a buddy of mine in a band called V.S. Guy and some of the guys in New Medicine. We're writing a track for them.

Then I'm going out to St. Louis next week to go hang out with the Chaman's Harvest guys and meet up with some of the management that's been helping out with Vantage. Then the week after that, I've got some more writing with my buddy Evan McKeever, who's done writing for like star set, Brantley Gilbert, Coetts, and all that. You know, we, yeah.

He is in the, when you, um, when you get together for these writing sessions, how does that work? I mean, does it, you sit around with instruments and what's it like? And he did, does everybody come in and fire it up? Do you get drunk? I mean, how do you, how do you write together? How does that work? Talk about that process.

You know, usually like you show up to whichever spot you're at in the first, like 30 minutes to an hour is just kind of just chilling, catching up, the vibe, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. And for me, you know, sometimes it can differ a little bit if I'm writing for myself versus writing for somebody else, generally speaking the format that I'll do is like, you know for the longest time I would write about stuff I've been through but a couple years ago. I'd kind of just I was writing so much. I tapped the well dry Yeah, what I'll do like if we're writing a song together for the next hour

I'm gonna wind up being your dr. Phil. You're gonna tell me about everything you've been through then I'm gonna wind up putting myself in your shoes and starting to spit out a song. Yeah, you know through your voice. Exactly. Yeah, their voice. I should say. Yeah. And you know, like sometimes it can start off with a chorus first. Sometimes it can, you know, start off with whatever like a lot of times

when people in town call me in for a ride on their stuff. They kind of know me as the hook guy or the chorus guy, you know, okay. They'll call me in for that kind of stuff. But you know, as far as the vantage stuff goes, I've been really lucky because like, you know, I've written with Evan, another guy named Cameron Mazzell, my producer, Kellan McGregor, who plays for Memphis Mayfire. We, uh, the one that you heard that hadn't come out yet. We wrote with Cody from Wage War, Which is unbelievable. When does that come out? Hopefully real real soon. I wish it would.

Yeah, it's gonna be a fun one, man. When I tell you that, you played that song for me in your truck. It was me, you and Alex in the back. And I think maybe 30, 45 seconds in, I looked at you and I said, bro, this is a number one hit. I mean, it's as simple as that.

It's a number one hit. And that's that good. And that's why we've really been like, we've been holding onto it for the right time. You know, like, now we've got management involved on our stuff. And so whenever this one comes up, it's gonna be like a big radio push.

A big push for it. Yeah. And so like, you know. And it should be for a song that good. I mean, that's one that I would push up if I could. I mean, you know, it's it's that good. I mean, it's that level.

I mean, it's no bullshit. Oh, thanks, dude. It's going to be a fun one, man. You know, bringing Cody in for the ride on that one was just insane because like, you know, not only is Cody killing it with wage, but like, you know, he writes for jelly roll. He writes for Hardy. Yeah. That's for falling in reverse a day to remember evil.

All those guys. I know every one of those you name have amazing hooks, amazing songs. They they craft hits is what they do. No, 100 percent, man. It's like if you said I'm writing with the guys from Shinedown. Well, that's going to be a hit. Yeah. I mean, you know, maybe more hits than anybody else in the world. Yeah. You know, as far as modern rock goes, you know, funny enough, I actually ran

into one of the guys that was one of the writers on Saturday, Madness, not too long ago. Wow. I'm down record and he was a good guy. You know, that's, that's the cool thing with Nashville, man. It's really turned it into like, it's not just a country town anymore. Like everybody's there. You know, what we were talking about yesterday and you know, in all honesty, I think, you know what we were talking about yesterday and you know and in all honesty i think you know and i'm not trying to blow smoke but you really are demonstrative of what i was saying yesterday which is the new stars of today's music have changed and they've changed because everybody, the Post Malone's,

the Jelly Rolls, these folks, the Luke Shoemakers, these folks out here are not above us. They're with us. And that's a different type of celebrity that you're seeing. You know, you're seeing these folks who are more involved with their fans. They're more down to earth. They don't act like they're better than you, you're seeing these folks who are more involved with their fans. Yeah, they're more down to earth. They don't act like they're better than you, you know, and a percent.

And that is what is the most attractive celebrity out there. If you look, that's what people are gravitating towards. I'll tell you one of the things I'm the most thankful for was a couple of months ago, mud vein came through Nashville and it was it was Megadeth mud vein. All that remains that came through, which I knew some of the All That Remains guys prior, but I hadn't met Chad or any of them before. But after, after their set that night, me and a bunch of my friends and Chad from Mudvane and his wife, Shannon Guns from Octane, we all went and got dinner and like, we just sat there for like three, four hours. And like, I mean, you would think

he was just a normal guy, the way he was talking right giving advice and all that and You know you mentioned jelly roll a second ago I was backstage at a five finger show a couple months back with five finger and Marilyn Manson and jelly rolls drummer pulled up And he was just being the nicest guy ever and dropping game and all that and funny enough we were behind five finger stage while they were setting up and Cody's his name his drummer's name And he was telling me about how when Jelly Roll had played there for the first time, kind of the logistical stuff,

but like all the cool stuff that had happened. You've heard me say before, but I told him right there too, that like my metric for making it has always been playing an arena show. And he looked at me, he's like, dude, it's coming bro, sooner than you think. Man. Right, man.

Man. Like thanks dude. Man. Oh man. Yeah. Yeah, no, I mean, that's so exciting to even think about. Right man. Like thanks dude. Oh man. Yeah no I mean that's so exciting to even think about. You know

playing that kind of show. I do agree I think it's inevitable that but I told you that probably two years ago. Yeah and you know it's funny me I was hanging out with Alex last night when I got in town with him and his girlfriend and you've heard me say this to you in private before and all that but like you know And me, I was hanging out with Alex last night when I got in town with him and with him and his girlfriend. You've heard me say this to you in private before

and all that, but like, you know, one of the things that me and- Don't tell everybody, R.C. Oh, nevermind, I'm sorry. No, it's not that, but you know, me and one of the things that Alex have talked about is like when it comes time for Vantage to play a show in Arkansas, like, you know,

we want it to really, to be a moment. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, to be a big deal. Yeah, know we wanted to really to be a moment you know what i'm saying yeah yeah yeah no i think it should be too i think it needs to be that moment and and i'll tell you it's hard uh and look jesus learned in nazareth that now you know it's hard to get your local folks sometimes to give you the credibility that you you've worked hard for you know so you have to go a little over and above. And I think when you show up, it should be to blow up. Yeah. You know, and I've been lucky, man, anytime I've done stuff like locally, like everyone's always been, you know, super supportive and super cool and like, and, and, you know, Nashville

was just the next step. You know what I mean? I think I love the idea that Nashville is kind of a newer Hollywood, uh, that you're getting rid of, because I think I love the idea that Nashville is kind of a newer Hollywood that you're getting rid of because I think everything about Hollywood is fake. I mean every single even Hollywood itself. I mean all those years I remember it was never more disillusioned than when I showed up to Hollywood and went this is it. This is it. Yeah. Oh it? Don't go. It's like it. Don't meet your heroes. Yeah. No, I'm like the little Hollywood. You know, it's right. It's not even iconic looking. It's not there. So boring out of the road. And what you don't see on the news too is all the LA and

Hollywood people that have just moved in Nashville. Yeah. And you wind up running into them on Broadway or somewhere in downtown. And we see a lot of that happening too. We got some questions for you on the chat, Luke. Oh, let's see. And then I've got a couple of questions too. Okay. Well, let's do it.

Let's so the first one, Matt wants to know, have you ever heard the story of how the ride was written? I don't, I don't think I have actually. Okay. Matt, you can share that with us. And then Luke, you ever met Charlie Farley? Oh yeah, yeah, I played, I think I played a show, I think it was the show. Yeah, it was the show we did.

Yeah, it was probably five, six years ago. You know, I've maybe talked to him five, 10 minutes, he's a super nice guy though. Yeah, Charlie was cool, man. years ago. You know, I've maybe talked to him five, 10 minutes. He's a super nice guy though. Mm-hmm. Yeah, Charlie was cool, man. I think he's still doing his thing. Yeah, he was real big for a minute. I know that.

Yeah. He was blowing up everywhere for a minute. What's funny was I remember, you know, like I said, I didn't talk to him too long, but when I did, he had just met Brantley Gilbert. And so he was talking about that, which Brantley's killing it now in the writing game back in Nashville and all that. He's just like, he had kind of had his moment And so he was talking about that which Brantley's killing it now in the writing game

He's he's just like he had kind of had his moment in the early 2000s And he kind of wavered off for a second, but now Brantley's back full force. Yeah, and he's working with the big dogs He's working with Andrew Bayless and all those guys. He's what does that mean for him when you say he's working with the big dogs? Oh just the I mean there's there's kind of like a new caliber of producers and songwriters out in town over there. And there's certain names that when you hear certain names associated to a project, you just know it's going to be a good one. You know, like when you heard me mention Cody from Wage, he's one of those names.

Andrew Bayless is a huge producer out in Nashville. There's a writing co-op in Nashville called the Four Horsemen that you know they've written basically on just about every Shinedown, Daughtry, Bad Wolf, Seven Dust, Tailstorm, all those records for the past five years. It's amazing when you stop and think about the bands that you love the most and how many of the songs from different bands may have been written, at least in part by the same person. Oh, 100% dude. You know, funny enough, one of Saliva's biggest hits, Rest in Pieces, that was written by Nicky Sixx from Motley Crue

and was given to Saliva. It was just given to him. Yeah, yeah, he gave it to Josie. And so I was with Josie the other night and he was telling me the story and all that. And so, you know, you'll hear stuff like that. And then there was one that I was trying to remember from the other day. But I mean, nowadays you'll hear stories all that are kind of like that in the rock world.

You know, for the longest time, there was kind of a stigma of like being the only dude to like write your thing and all that. But people saw that it was working in the country world where people write for other people's stuff. And it works out. Yeah. And so it's starting to translate in the in the rock world, too, man. It's just all about the song at the end of the day. Well, it's better than them using AI to do it. Oh dude, some of the songs are hilarious. Oh my God. I was on TikTok the other day and I saw one about this dude and it was an AI song about eating chilies and shit in your pants afterwards. Yeah. There are some great funny AI songs.

You can do some really funny songs that way. But none of them are as good as Wackadoos in the news. No, of course they're not. What is? Still number one. That is still number one. It's going to be number one. Matter of fact, let's do that.

Let's do it. This is the segment. I like the other. People do stupid shit. You say, oh, brother. Came back with a phone Of any previous bitch. But if you think so, hey, You don't give a shit.

I did that. Yeah. Yeah. Whackadoos in the news. I just got to say real quick, Kurt Lunsford, I just got your text. I'm happy to be on your TV, buddy. That's cool, man. That's cool. Yeah, man. That's awesome, man. We are so many places now. It's hard to believe. I mean, I don't think there's almost nowhere you can go that we're not streaming. I saw the post yesterday, like, you know, or maybe Monday, I don't know.

Yeah, just when you think there's nothing more to add, we go and add a bunch of stuff. You know, we added Pandora, Cirrus XM, I mean, all these different things that are now carrying us. So that is great. Yeah, no, it is great, isn't it? All right, let's get to it.

These are the wackiest things going on today. And right, let's get to it. These are the wackiest things going on today. And here, let's start right here. Chance Hinder Lane from Charlotte, North Carolina discovered she was pregnant with twins five months after giving birth to her eldest son. Oh, she got them two uteruses? Treating her kids as triplets, she celebrates their milestones together,

cherishes their bond. We raised them as triplets. celebrates their milestones together, cherishes their bond. We raised them as triplets. My eldest was still breastfeeding when I gave birth to my girls. Her son was born in January 8, 2020. The twins arrived a year later. Despite the challenges she embraced. What the f- is this? What is this even about? I'm so confused. I thought she had them five months after her first one. So how I the year late She didn't she had it a year later Yeah, that's Tori is crap. Sorry. We all fell for the crap. Oh, you know, that's it here. I'll give you that It is a great sound mind, isn't it?

Let's see What's going on here. So Redmond, Washington has a new fleet of snowplows. They've been named. That's right. It's a trend, you know, they get as silly as possible with the name. So the five vehicles are Control plus Salt plus Delete,

Scoop Dog, Snowbegon Kenobi, I like that that one the big Laplowski and Betty Whiteout yeah Redwood is going one further by allowing residents to see where they are via their webpage so they have a webpage just so you can follow the snowplow yeah yeah you know there's gonna be some old man in his slippers with his coffee and his beagle just sitting there watching the snow plows and listening to the the cop radio. He's just sitting there just like you got to both man. What's going on? Matt says the never Matt says the told us the story and that we need to listen to the song.

Oh, okay. Sanitary pad makers in China are apologizing after being accused of selling pads shorter than advertised. This comes amid a storm of anger after viral social media videos showed Chinese women measuring the length of sanitary pads from popular brands showing that most of them fell short of what was stated on the package. The uproar has extended into broader grievances about women being shortchanged by feminine hygiene products which have a history of safety scandals in China. Chinese women have taken it upon themselves

to call this out. Yeah. I mean, what's- Smash the patriarchy. If it's too short, what's the problem? Well, I'd like to see, you know, I mean, I wanna know what the measurements are because I mean, at some point it is too short,

too small to be effective. Okay, okay, I got you. To be effective at all. I got you. Yeah, it's just, yeah, no, smash the patriarchy ladies. Buy a ShamWow. Do that shit. Get a salt.

ShamWow. Get one of those diva cups. ShamWow? Yeah. ShamWow. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, baby, that'll do it. That'll soak up everything.

Everything. Yeah. Replicas of a it. That'll soak up everything. Everything. Yeah. Replicas of a sword featured in the Harry Potter movie have been recalled in Japan for violating the country's weapon ban. The full-size replica of Godric Gryffindor sword. It's about 34 inches, and it's affixed to a wooden display plaque sold by Warner Brothers

Studio. But it was only in November authorities told the company these are sharp enough to be categorized as an actual sword. More than 350 replicas were sold. They cost about 200 bucks a piece. Sold at Warner Brothers Studio Tour Tokyo. And well, anyway, you're in trouble if you got one, you gotta get rid of it.

That's what's going on. They will come looking for that. They will come, there's only 300 of them and they will go out the house. Nobody's coming for your guns or anything here, but in China, Japan or wherever the hell that was. In China, yeah. Yeah, in Tokyo or something, I don't know.

Yeah, they'll come for your shit. They know they will. They don't play around. They'll come for your shit. But they'll be very nice about it. This is bold. I want you to know, this is bold. During the annual shop with a cop event

at Walmart in Chesterfield County, Virginia, where law enforcement helps kids pick out presents, officers were alerted to a shoplift in progress. Despite the presence of 50 uniformed officers and deputies, Hector Maldonado was caught trying to steal nearly $1,400 worth of merchandise. I think he was stunned. He said the suspect even parked his car in view of 30 to 40 Mark Patrol cars. He had active warrants for previous shoplifting and larceny. Makes sense.

Yeah, no, that's it. Do it in front of them. I mean, is this some kind of fetish? It must be. I mean, I've got it going. I've got warrants. I got the urge to steal. Here's 50 police.

I'm going in here. What is the best time to do it when they're all right there doing it in front of them? Oh, it's brilliant. And it said Maldonado. Yeah, that's like Joe Exotic. I was going to say, ask Joe next Sunday. In Florida. Yeah, if, you know, if this individual is trying to get all this stuff to sell and get money on your books, bro.

Speaking of, right after we get done with this, I do have that Joe Exotic interview that I did yesterday. I'm excited for this one. Yeah, that's right, round two with Joe. Round two, I'm excited. Yeah, Joe is Joe, baby. You know, you gotta love it. Joe is Joe. You gotta love it.

But we talk more about his case and some of the details, because I'll be honest with you, if you look at, look, and so in short, the guy was convicted of a conspiracy to commit murder, right? Yeah. Allegedly. Alleged. And then because of tigers that were put down, allegedly.

Allegedly. And in a way that was not compliant. And because of those things, he's been given a life sentence in prison. Think about that, A life sentence. Now if you go over to the Joe Exotic official website and you just start looking at the appeal that they filed recently, all the people who have admitted to perjury, all the people who you know, their evidence was not admitted, different things like that. And you start looking at it and you go, I mean, look, I watch the ID channel all the time.

Okay. I watch all these things and you see these people who, you know, they'll horribly kill someone. And 12 years later, here they, they're out. Yeah. You're going to put this guy in prison for life? Yeah. Really? Yeah.

And make me believe he should be that guy? Yeah. He didn't even kill anybody. He is harmless. I'm sorry. I mean, he kind of is, to be honest with you. In my opinion, and based off everything I've watched and everything, I just, I find the man harmless. I mean, you know, you didn't like her. She didn't like you, you know, and maybe some of them. But I mean, even if he did try to conspire. There's no reason for him to be in life. It was amazingly unsuccessful. Amazingly. No one even made it to the state she was in. No, I don't even think they left the county. So I'm saying that, I mean, that's worth life in prison? Yeah. I don't

know. The math don't math. It doesn't. A Florida mom and TikTok influencer, Marlena Velez, was arrested for a second alleged theft from the same Target store days after she was arrested before. Surveillance footage from the latest arrest showed her using self-checkout to scan false barcodes for items that totaled about $2.25. She had Christmas decorations, kids clothes, uh, recognized by police from her previous arrest. I'm sure she was. Yeah. She was taken into custody at home and charged with a petty theft

before being released on $500 bond. Authorities said while she was in jail after her first arrest, she was recorded saying lesson learned. Maybe this time, right? Like you said, maybe it's a compulsion or a fetish or something. You know, like they're so dead on the inside. The only adrenaline rush they can get is to do that. Yeah, that's the way they get that there.

There would there. Okay. All right. And I think I'm going to try to get this video on the blog. It's a bizarre moment. And I think I'm gonna try to get this video on the blog. It's a bizarre moment. A boy pulled out his last baby tooth, but not by himself, he used his pet parrot. Yeah, the boy from China holds the bird in his right hand,

guides it to his mouth. The parrot grabs a hold of the wobbly tooth and then swiftly removes it. Just yanks it right out. It's kind of crazy. Yeah. Wouldn't not a parrot take your tooth out? I don't, I'm not putting a parrot in my mouth.

It looks like he's trying to eat the parrot. Yeah. Like I thought he was honestly from my angle and with my eyesight, I thought it was like a gingerbread man biting, you know, and no, it's a, you're putting enough bird in your mouth. He put a bird in his mouth. Wonder how long he had that on the vision board. Let's do this before we get to some Joe exotic in our lives.

Joe called in. Like I said, we talked about his case quite a bit. Now if you want to you can go to joexoticofficial.com and take a look at his case and you can follow along with some of the

things that we're talking about. But let's get to it. Pretty damn fascinating. Hello. Subject to monitoring at any time. To accept this call, press 5. To block this call, you may begin speaking now. Hey, Patrick. Hey, Joe.

How are you, buddy? Not too bad. How are you buddy? Not too bad. How are you? Man, I'm all right today. I'm all right. How was the holiday for you there? Was it all right? Yeah, it's crazy.

It's prison, you know? Yeah. And then our government, then our government acts like they're fucking broke because they don't give you shit for food. No. No, it's crazy. Man, that is. We can come up with what another $140 million to send you cream, but we can't we can't feed an inmate in a

federal prison. Yeah, I figured you were probably a little fired up about the pardon that happened. Well, that too. Yeah, I mean, that's like a slap in the face to any American citizen that's ever been in jail or on probation for tax evasion or a gun charge right? Right, no absolutely I mean obviously a lot of people are upset by that. Yeah it's insane you know but it's no different than Trump you know Trump pardoned Charles Kushner you know his son-in-law's dad. Yeah. You got to be in their little elite circle, or you've got to be one of their criminals to get justice in this country.

Well, sometimes it does certainly seem that way, doesn't it? It does. I've been looking at some of the evidence in your appeal here. I've been looking at some of the arguments that you guys are making in this appeal and it's pretty interesting stuff in there man. I mean you have to wonder why the hell I'm in prison. Well I mean there's some things in there that are pretty interesting. I was just reading about you know the situation with the money and how that you had navigated around him many times

by saying, I just don't have the money right now or whatever. And I never gave him any money. I came up with an excuse. I knew something was wrong because Jeff Lowe was pushing his murder for hire too hard. And Marekky kept saying, man, they're up to something. They're up to something. And did you ever watch the video of the undercover agent in the office?

I haven't seen that one yet. I was reading through everything, but go ahead. Well, it's crazy because, you know, the undercover guy goes, well, you know, can you get us some guns at a flea market? No, can't do that. Well can you go to Walmart and get us some burner phones? No, can't do that.

Then just because they were standing in front of my office door and I knew that James and Jeff record each other and they just criminal plots all the time. So just out of curiosity I said well what do you charge $10,000? Well I ain't got $10,000. Okay well we'll do it for half. Well I ain't got half. I said the checkbook you know is $13,000 in the hole. I'll have to wait till I have baby tigers born. That was my excuse all the time to get them the hell out of office. Right, right, right. Well, that's what I was reading.

And then, you know, they just randomly wanted you to mail a phone that they had you send, right? Well, see, Alan came into office and he says, Jeff wants you to mail my phone to him. Okay. So I took it to the secretary and said, I didn't even have Jeff's address. I took it to the secretary and said, here, Jeff wants you to mail this to him. Okay, so I took it to the secretary and said I didn't even have a Jeff's address I took it to the secretary and said here Jeff wants you to mail this to him Huh? And that was that? That was it. That was the end of it now Okay, but but see what made it what made it interstate commerce and made it a federal case is because he testified that I gave him the pizza phone to go to Florida and kill Carol.

And I took a picture of her address with that phone. I see. And if you read in there, they had that phone in the courtroom, but they didn't let us know that. And the text messages on that phone from Alan to his girlfriend, he said, where did you get this phone? And she says,

I stole it from a pizza restaurant. Oh, really? Yeah. But the government just let him sit there and lie. Huh. Well, I saw that it says that Glover committed perjury both during the grand jury and his trial testimony. That he admitted to it. Yeah testimony that he admitted to it yeah that he revealed it was scripted in advance by the government but have you have you got to the part where he went one step further and took the lawyers to the zoo and showed him how they were gonna kill me to start with well yeah that's that's what was next right I mean I can what the... Oh, fucking what? It's like, why has nobody been charged with nothing?

So what is it, you know, when you try to bring forth new evidence, Joe, and the court is, you know, not wanting to hear that or see it, what is their argument against that evidence? Okay, well, okay, Judge Polk in Oklahoma City, the judge, okay, first of all, a lot of people don't understand that that judge was mining Carol's civil judge in our lawsuits. Okay. And then he was my trial judge and he was my sentencing judge and he refused to excuse

himself. Okay. So when we filed that motion for a new trial with all the new evidence, he sat on that for 19 months and then we had to file another motion to make him answer it and then he denied it within two hours just to make me sit in prison okay and and one of the one of the arguments that the lawyers have is because they admitted to perjury and some of the Brady violations and stuff by law he should have gave me an evidence rehe Okay. And he violated my rights by not doing that. And so in this appeal is that part of the what you're arguing is that you know the process wasn't followed

properly to begin with? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. So we're asking for the case to be overturned or I'm allowed a new trial and out on bond or just dismiss the case because of the new evidence in the perjury. So who knows what the hell is going to happen. It's crazy that we have that evidence of the government witnesses and you know I don't I haven't read the exact appeal all the way through but you know they were they were committing sex trafficking, bank fraud, identity theft all during this investigation and and the federal wildlife agent covered all that up so they would testify for him. So they ran interference on their own crimes just to try to get you coerced into this? You know the whole

thing was to get me out of the zoo and so they could have the zoo and nobody would believe me about all their bullshit they were pulling at the zoo because Lauren and Jeff were luring girls off the internet to the zoo with baby tigers then drugging them and raping them at his cabin. Oh really? Oh yeah. Oh it got so out of hand that Seth had to change the combination on the safe so Jeff couldn't get tachetamine. Wow that's that's if you if you look on Joe exotic official.com and those recordings there's recordings there that Lauren recorded them fighting admitting to rape and girls. You know what I don't

understand and and I think this is really helping to shed light on it is it seems like that you know when you have someone who is incarcerated and they're in a situation like you are and there is compelling obvious new evidence that needs to be looked at and it's it's not you know it takes a long time for that to happen and you would think if you have if you have someone it might be innocent that should be your first priority right but that that's the upsetting part. Look, my lawyers have sent everything to the Department of Justice, to the Attorney General, they sent everything to the Director of the FBI, they sent everything to the U.S. Attorney in Oklahoma City. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. So, I mean, but aren't they required to respond to your appeal request? I mean,

they have to reply somehow, right? They have not responded to this date anything. Really? It's just ignored. Huh. So, you know, that's why I raised so much hell and I stay in the news so much, because surely to God, somebody on Trump's team is looking at this. Well, hopefully it's not.

Yes, absolutely. I hope they're looking at that as well as, you know, anyone else who could be in that circumstance because it's a terrible circumstance to be in. And obviously, you know, you're limited in what you can do. And, you know, the bad thing about the Department of Justice in that situation is they have a never-ending supply of money, whereas, you know, someone incarcerated does not.

Yeah, that's why when they arrested me, they kept me in solitary confinement for two years in a county jail with no bond. So I couldn't help hire lawyers. I couldn't help build a case. I had to use public defenders, and they threw me under the bus. Yeah. Yeah. No, I imagine they, I mean, what do they know? I mean, they're new and probably lots of challenges. You know, and they get paid regardless.

Yeah, of course. Whether you win or lose. Yeah. Their goal is to get you to plea out, see? But the minute I wouldn't plea, because they only charged me with one charge to start with, the minute I wouldn't plead, then they charged me with 20 more charges. Now if you, in hindsight, if you could just plea to that one charge, would you have done that?

If I'd have known what I know today, I'd have been home already. Yeah, yeah, that's what I wondered if, you know, in looking back. But why plead? I mean, that's why there's 40,000 people in prison. No, you're right. You're absolutely right They were forced they were forced to play out. Well, then no that was the point I was getting ready to make is that you know, if you watch a lot of these Documentaries and exposés Joe, it's very common that you see that situation play out And yeah, why should I plead a murder for hire when I didn't do that? Right, but then when you don't play ball, they stack up a bunch of other things.

They punish you. I mean look at Trump, he got 94 indictments. Right, no, that's fair. That's fair. You're absolutely right about that. That's how they play. If they can't get you one way, they'll stack you until they find something that's going to stick along. Right, because really they

just want convictions. You know, that's what they want to wrap up are convictions. That's how they get reelected. And that's where I was bitching so much about Britney Grindr over in Russia. You know, we were bitching. Our Justice Department, our President was bitching. This call is from a federal prison. She had a 99% conviction rate. Well, America's got a 98% conviction rate. But when you look at Brittany Griner or Paul Wheeler or Trevor Reed, anytime they were in the courtroom or on camera,

were they in orange jumpsuits, belly chain and shackled at the ankles and shit? No. They were in street clothes and they looked good. In America, dude, you're in an orange jumpsuit and you're chained up like a monkey the minute you hit the courtroom and you look guilty. Yeah, it does. I mean, the chains are a lot, aren't they? Yeah. It does seem, you know, a little much to be honest with you.

I mean, particularly if I'm being honest, someone such as yourself, because my guess is you've not been a danger or threat to anyone in that institution at all. You know, from the point I was arrested at 55 years old, I never even had a speeding ticket. Yeah, and you were in law enforcement, for God's sake. Yeah. Yeah. And they gave me a life sentence. That's crazy, man. I mean, it's just mind boggling to think that that's how this played out. You know, now I also understand that there's some, according to this, some evidence about the condition, the health conditions of the tigers that were found buried that seemed

to contradict what was said. It would have proved my point that they were ill yeah and the USDA would have told me to put them down but you know the thing that happened during my trial there was my USDA agent that made me put them down according to public defenders she could not be found to subpoena her. How do you not find us a federal employee? What do you mean you can't find, is she no longer a federal employee? No, she still was an inspector to this day. But how do you not find a federal inspector when you need to subpoena them?

I'm pretty sure you... But that was their excuse. That's crazy. Well, I'm sure that she didn't want to testify because she wouldn't lie under oath. Right. That seems like you should be able to compel that witness. Of course you can find them. They have a federal job.

On a new trial with real lawyers, we're going to. Yeah, right. I mean, you would have to compel that. So it just seems like to me that there's so many different failures on the part of the prosecution here that should open a door to at least at the very least an appeal being heard or a new trial. Yeah, you know before my trial they already made a deal during my trial that I couldn't talk about Carol's missing husband which is what started our argument. Yeah. Okay that's what our fight was all about. I couldn't bring up

Jeff and Low with Jeff and James and Lauren what they were doing at the zoo raping people and credit card fraud. I couldn't bring up nothing. They wouldn't let me talk about nothing. So the jury never heard my side. Right. Well, I guess they were they saying it was extraneous to the case matter, right? They're saying it doesn't apply to the same beef. So much means you're gonna hang up in 30 seconds. But hey, would next Tuesday be good for you? It would be great for me. Joe. Call us. I'll put you down for 10 o'clock next Tuesday. That'll work. I'll talk to you at 10

o'clock next Tuesday. Joe send my people a link to this right? I sure will man. I'll get it to you. Okay. Thank you Joe. Thanks. Bye bye. And there you go. There is the latest from Joe Exotic is case. What's going on with him? Pretty wild listening to it huh? Yeah, it is crazy. Yeah. Well, you know again, I struggle with The the guy having a life sentence when I look at the people who aren't in prison You know, they're like looking at letting them and Nendes brothers out. They they they aced their mom and dad You know what? I mean? Now they've been there a long time, but I'm just saying that you know You're gonna make this guy sit there for a lifetime for a what a Contrived murder plot. Yeah, I mean if you look at the story honestly, you know, they they they gave him three grand you know to give to the guy and

To make it happen. He never made it anywhere. I mean he didn't even get anywhere near happened. He never made it anywhere. I mean, he didn't even get anywhere near Carol Baskins or anything like that. It just seems to me like a ridiculous sentence that they just wanted to hammer the guy because he evaded him so long. And he was pretty loud about it. I mean, let's be honest, he's pretty sensational. He's bombastic as hell. Yeah, I mean, he says things that you're like, okay, you know, that's that's pretty, pretty wild wild but most of what comes out of his mouth Well watching the show that's all He's an entertainer first and foremost and you know, he uses compelling language to get the job done

Yeah, I wore my shirt for him today. I knew we were doing the episode the second episode Joe would like that I wore my shirt for him today. I knew we were doing the episode, the second episode today. So I wore my- I don't think Joe would like that. My cool cats and kittens. Joe's not gonna like that. Why not? He doesn't like Carol. That's why he's in prison.

Carol Baskin saying, you cool cats and kittens. He likes the cool cats and kittens. He may not like her, her little phrase, but he likes the cool cats and kittens. I mean, he might not like my kittens, but you know. Well, no, he doesn't need to, no, he's more of a Python guy.

Yeah. Hey, let's talk about this real quick. This is crazy, man. Spanish infants are developing werewolf syndrome due to their parents taking a popular over-the-counter hair loss remedy. Navarra Pharma's center has called 11 cases of hypertrichosis that's commonly known as werewolf syndrome in babies throughout Spain has found 5% topical monoxide or minoxidil was used

by each of the caregivers. So they're using this topical to grow hair. Right. And it's somehow causing their kids to be grown with this werewolf syndrome. That's crazy. So it's going through the skin because it's topical. You rub on absorbing into

the body and passing through to their infant in utero. That's interesting. I mean, it's not like that's that products not used here. Yeah. Now anywhere else. Yeah. interesting. I mean, it's not like that's that product's not used here. Yeah. Now or anywhere else. Yeah. No, I mean it is, but I don't know.

Maybe it's a Tmoo version. Well, sometimes they're, you know, they hijack things and, uh, they don't necessarily follow the exact recipes and it could be, could be too powerful, too potent or whatever. Now it may be growing growing hair like crazy clearly it's growing it on their baby we should get some of that stuff here I wonder I wonder if that cures the the baldness of the baby altogether obviously I've got hair everywhere well I'm just saying I got hair everywhere except the top of my head okay so as that can happen trust me you a package deal with the Botox.

The baby Botox. The baby Botox. Yeah, no, that is, baby Botox is a big thing now to get. You have to, you can't have babies with wrinkles. You just look stupid. You really can't, ew. All right, yeah, no, it's embarrassing to do that. It really is.

Now let's talk about this, because I find this fascinating. OnlyFans top earner, her name is Sophie Rain. She says she's a virgin and a devout Christian to boot. She's from Florida, she's 20. She recently let fly with the stunning reveal that she'd pulled down 43 million in a year. Without having sex.

Without having sex. Without having sex. She said I'm a virgin. I'm a virgin to this day. She said I'm a Christian. I know it seems odd, but I don't do anything else with anyone. I'm only fans. It's just me. One unnamed doesn't matter what one unnamed fan said.

But she's very popular on TikTok for example. Her most popular TikTok has 96 million views. What do you think Christian OnlyFans, is that fine? Is it possible? Does it matter? You didn't make 43 million OnlyF fans by being a devout Christian. Well, you know, she might have been praying for you while she had her button here. Yeah, well, I mean, she could have been. How do you know? How do you know? Only fans. What now?

Forty three million. It just seems not possible. It is possible. It happened. They track it. I mean mean they know what they make. They have to pay taxes on that shit. So they send them a, you know, a 1099 basically, yeah. They get a 1099 for 43 million. What's the code for that, you know? Cause you know, you know, there's the code, right?

It's, what's your only fan code? Oh, a code. Butt work code work code yeah like for with the government Oh, I got you when I was in painting. I had a code you know for taxes and registration all that. I'm sure they've got a code Yeah, it's crazy Yeah, can you be a Christian only fan star do you think it it's fine or do you think it's a challenge? You know, I not to sound like a grandpa, but you know, I've learned in my 28 years that people are going to do what people are going to do. And so I just, you know what I mean?

I just let them do the thing. You know, that's too reasonable, Luke. And that's why people like you so much. That's the real Christian way. Well, I mean, I'm not saying I'm against it, you know, you do you. Yeah. What you said is not what you're doing. Your mouth is saying one thing and your butt hole is on there.

Yeah. You can't say, oh I'm a Christian and I'm a good person. It could be holy. Here's the thing. You get my point? It's holy. I don't, I mean maybe it's like new Bible study, you know? OK.

And they're taking it through the Bible together. How about this? Trying to get rid of Luz. I doubt there's anything in the Bible about OnlyFans. Okay, what if she's been over, right? And then she reaches back and she pulls, it looks like a fortune, but it's a prayer. And she just reads a little Bible verse. Aww. Or she like shoots them out of her hoo-ha? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you pick the ping pong ball and one of them has a Bible verse. Oh, or she like shoots them out of her hoo-ha. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Like you pick the ping pong ball and one of them has a Bible verse. Yeah, that'd be great. Is that church enough? I don't know. I mean, there's nothing in the Bible. I mean, in Mary, no, Mary Magdalene, some accounts. Well, she clearly was. Well night clearly not everybody agrees with that. I don't know I wasn't there So, you know, hey Seuss was full support of of sex workers. So yeah, I know I mean clearly he defended their rock Yeah, I think adolescent baby Jesus would have would have been pro only fans adolescent baby All adolescents are pro only fans adolescent baby Jesus All adolescents are pro only fans Every one of them. They're just a walking exactly the batch of hormones

Exactly. This is why I pray to adolescent Jesus and not baby Jesus Adolescent Jesus was going through a lot about twelve and a half to maybe about fourteen and a hundred You don't know if you're gay, if you're straight. All you know is you just want to rub on something. Yeah. Something that ain't you. Yeah. You know, anything, anybody anywhere, just rub on me, please.

Yeah. Jesus, I want to play too, because that mother fucker. Motherfucker. We are losing our minds in here today. That guy was going through it. We're losing our minds. Does your cat hate you? No, we're not even doing that. We're not even doing that.

I'm not even doing that. I'm done with that. So, uh, $43 million later, yeah, your cat hates you. Yeah, your cat definitely hates you. Listen, if you need a heat and air, Cabot Mechanical is who you want to go to. Funny name, great service. Uh, you can go to CabotMechanical.com. David Lindsay is a super guy.

So if you want to save money and make sure your air conditioner works and listen they can come out and just do a tune-up on your HVAC and it's not very expensive but it'll damn sure extend the life of it. You should do it at least every couple years reach out to him 502-2720 or Cabot Mechanical.com and while we're on the subject if you're looking at roof you need a roof I show a lot of houses that that's the number one question people ask when we're buying a house when they're looking at houses I believe far and away with with a bullet it's number one is how old is the roof

yeah it's what they ask, they wanna know, because you know why roofs are expensive? So if you're gonna get one, you want one that's A, gonna last, and B, the great thing about Titan Roofing is that they have a 10-year transferable warranty. So if you bought this house and you fixed it up a little bit, you put some equity into it, right?

Now you're ready to sell it. Well, guess what? When you can transfer that warranty, that's huge. That is huge. It's worth literally thousands of dollars to have that in your pocket when you sell that home. These guys are great. So go to TitanRoofingCompany.com. It's TitanRoofingCompany.com. When they come out, tell Josh and Jeremy that you're one of the people and they're going to take good care of you, all right? And don't play around with that. There are insurance companies, especially here in Arkansas, that are dropping people

because of the age of their roof or the appearance of their roof. They're not insuring the roofs and all that. Right. That's a fact. And that warranty that you're talking about that transfer And that's it's huge and huge and I'll tell you another thing too People don't think about it if you haven't added your roof changed out, you know in the past, let's say five seven years Have you had a hell storm has there been a storm?

Because if you have any hell damage on your roof, there's a good chance you can get it replaced Yeah, and you're gonna pay the deductible and nothing else so maybe what five hundred thousand bucks and you get yourself you know a ten fifteen twenty thousand dollar roof are you kidding me we have one of the Sophie Rains supporters oh do we okay well I'm making an assumption little doggy no I love that yeah he says that she doesn't even do nudity like she's PG-13. Is she really? Says that she lies and will say in her advertising that she's nude or having sex but it's a lie. He heard it from a friend's kid. Oh he heard it from a friend. Nothing like 50. No wasting money on that one.

This kid is part of that 43 million million wait till mom's credit card comes in scammed people out of 43 million as a good christian thank you no she hey you don't know she could be giving that money to jesus we got a comment yeah i see that uh yeah okay this uh comment from uh we just had a mind a matter of fact we're going to be sharing the interview and single from them that they performed live John Bailey and the Heathen or revolution or revival I mean Luke Shoemaker helped me promote a single using public urination it says so the other day when I was in town me and Alex and his girl Katie all went to go get dinner and afterwards Alex had to take a leak He just opens up his truck door so nobody sees him

and just does his business and so I pull my phone out and I'm like new single by John Bailey and Ethan Revival out now That is great That is awesome man. That video probably would be great to use believe it or not. Oh they put it on TikTok. Yeah, that's exactly what you would do. I would have absolutely have done that. That's how those viral things happen man.

What's the coolest viral video that you know stuck with you over time? Everybody has one at least that sticks out to them. They like man I always love to watch it I've got to think um like funny or just cool doesn't matter yeah I think think about it about you what's the question a viral video that sticks out to you that day you remember it and you're like, man, I love that video. I've watched it maybe a hundred times. The funniest one that I remember was not a video. It was a picture. And it was a co-worker.

When we worked at McCormick, he was the skinny guy. Dark filler. And he's in a hotel room taking a picture. We worked at McCormick. Okay. He was the skinny guy. Okay. Dark filler. And he's in a hotel room taking a picture. He got his muscles up, you know, and the girls behind him in the mirror, and he don't see that.

They put that on the web. It was everywhere. I didn't see the picture from him. I seen it on the web and screenshotted it and sent it to him. I'm like is this you? He's like man where'd you get that? Oh no they they they posted it on. She was a heavy woman and it was just it was I thought it was great. Did God love him. That's awesome. That's amazing. Yeah

and that's great. That's great. How about you Amanda viral videos that that stick out? I mean honestly, there's only two things pop into my mind. One is my friend Lucy who went viral during COVID. She had a COVID baby and there was some, you know, hashtag trend going on of, you know, ugliest baby contest and she went viral. She went viral because I mean, real talk, Reese was ugly AF when she was born. She just was hideous baby.

Hideous, hideous baby. Sorry, Reese, wherever you are. Lucy went viral for this video. And I thought that was hilarious. And then I was thinking about after after Taylor Hawking died and they were doing the tribute concert or whatever and his son was up there playing drums on My Hero and those are the two things that popped into my mind.

Those are good ones. That made me cry. Taylor. I think I finally remembered it. Okay, what is it? So there's a YouTube guy and he does TikTok and all that stuff too but his name is Ross creations, okay, there's like pranks and all this stuff and He hired a plumber to come over to his house and what he did he He took the lid of the toilet off and he took a dump in that part of the toilet and then

Cooked like a batch of cookies, but I'm on a cookie sheet, and he put those on the sink, but he took a dump in the sink too, and just had the cookie sheet covering the dump there, and he calls the plumber, has him come over and be like, my toilet's screwed up. And so this plumber comes in and he's like trying to figure it out.

Then he opens this lid and just sees a log. Oh no. Oh my God. And then the whole time this dude's offering him cookies and all that and finally he looks at the cookie. Oh no. He sees that in there. Oh, the funny thing was the plumber was the nicest guy

the whole time in the video. Like didn't get mad at him. He didn't, he wasn't like like man. What's wrong with you? This is the same dude that like he filled up his computer with beans and then hired an IT guy So like oh my over to his house kind of funny. Yeah, I do like some of the funny Yes Ross creations Like lose his shit. Oh, yeah, he got super like pissed and everything Twisted a little tight well, you know I see sometimes

you know some of these videos where you know the creator has a lot of money or sponsors and So they'll do things to people that you know like one of them was the dudes car Mr.. Beast just you know the guy didn't even know they're they're setting up some kind of thing where they're going to shoot at these things out in the you know the field and the guy doesn't realize till he starts lifting up he's got his car from the parking lot lifts it up and they're going to start shooting projectiles at it and this guy's like wait that's my car man and they blew his car up they literally blew his car up and uh and they lower it down this guy's like, wait, that's my car, man. And they blew his car up. They literally blew his car up. And they lower it down, this guy's beside himself.

And then they gave him another car. But I was like, man, it's still kind of violating. You freak out, you lose your mind. That's what they did to Ross, too. Someone finally pranked him back. They took his minivan and flipped it upside down and put it in the same parking spot that it was in just making it upside down is hilarious by itself because you just walk around like what

that's crazy man I keep on trying to tell Patrick that we need to get him to film some pranks and content yeah no We've just started talking about this week, Gunnar and I have been working on a couple things behind the scenes where we can start doing some fun content things that, you know, will air during the show and otherwise on the videos. Should we be concerned? There's one that I pitched in that I think is pretty funny. Yeah, no, I think it's great. I don't want to tell anybody, though, don't tell anybody because somebody will steal that idea. It's so simple, but it's so good. My favorite viral video right now is because when I recently saw and I'm still watching it, I probably watch it right now once a week because it's so funny to me and that's not my chair, not my problem. It's the lizard,

the mushroom guy that they made a video with and they made him a cartoon lizard. I think it may even go back to the Vine days. But it's hilarious, man. It's just weird, wacky, wild. And my wife had put it on for me when I was in daycare mode recently. Yeah. And it just was so good. I still think about it. It makes me laugh every time I think about it again. I just start laughing going, yeah, that was a good night. A lot of fun.

Yeah. You have to talk and all that. Yeah, of course I do. So there's a, you know, Nutter Butter, the candy bar. Yeah, of course. Yeah. They have a TikTok page and it's the most cursed thing you'll ever see. Really? If you get bored, you gotta to just over at Nutter Butter. Yeah.

It's great brain rot. People are like just going doing stupid things. Oh, I can't even describe it. Like there's not a way to articulate. Like, I have to look at this now. Words being used. I'm intrigued. Hold on. Yeah, please. Illuminate us. I'd like to know more, please. I don't know what the unforgivable videos are. I don't know either Latasha said I watched a video about people addicted to stealing. They can't control themselves. They say yeah kleptomania. Oh my

They are on acid They definitely are there I don't know who they're appealing to, but it ain't people that are sober. Yeah, most folks are. No, you'll be lost over there for a while. Yeah. Down the rabbit hole here. That's Nutter Butter on TikTok. Who owns that?

Oh, it's like the Nutter Butter page. Like, it's on there. Who owns Nutter Butter? Is it some wacko out of Denmark or something? Does that look like some kind of wacky Danish stuff? The funniest thing ever. Hola amigos, Kevin said. John Bailey said, by the way, when you do that,

when you poop in the back part, it's called an upper decker. Yeah. Yeah. Mondelise International. So I own stock in that company. Thank you, Nutter Butter. Mondelise Internet. Mondelise, yeah. You own stock in that company. Thank you, Nutter Butter. Mondalize Internet. You own stock in that?

I do. Oh really? Yeah, so my grandmother, you know, didn't make you cookies or hug you or, you know, tell you how proud she was of you. She gave you stock. Oh, I wish I had that, Grandma. Thank you, Grandma. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, it took me years to, you know, really truly honestly understand. I took ass whoopings every day to get that in.

That was her love language. For that, I'm grateful. No, my dad, when he died, you know, when he left, bills. Bills. That was it. Just some bills. Can you pay my bills? Yeah, yeah.

This is Bob. Bob has no arms. Who's there? Well, it's not Bob. That's a fair statement. So Luke, tell us about some other exciting stories from the road and from writing and from some of your friends in the rock business, things like that, that have been really interesting as you're coming up. Let's think about that for a second. Well, there's been a couple of different things. Well, well,

funny enough, um, you know, my guitar player, Kellan, he plays in Memphis, like I said earlier, and they just announced a show over at the hall. And what's funny about that is like a year or two ago, we were having lunch at Chipotle one day. We were just like talking about what spots in Little Rock like to play at and all that he had never heard of the hall before. And so I'm talking to him. to him and so you know it was funny seeing that pop up and all that but I think probably in recent like kind of memory you know hanging out with Corey Taylor was pretty cool um that was over at Louder Than Life and you know that was my first time meeting him and all that yeah that was super super sick. So you said y'all when you hung out with them y'all just like went

to eat or just hanging out basically right right? Or is that someone else? Well, so that was with Chad from Okay. Yeah, with Corey, it was a little bit more of kind of like a little bit crazier of a day because it was at Louder Than Life, which is like a big like radio festival. Yeah, and he was literally flying in from somewhere in California, I think.

And so he flew in just a couple of hours before their performance. And so we had just kind of a little window a little window of time but even just that window was super super sick but yeah man it's been great you know dude like being a national man you just run into so many different people and like you just never know who you're gonna run into any given day I ran into Marcus King last week yeah yeah you just you never know who you run into now when you see these folks you just see them or do you, do you fan a little bit

to go, Hey, how you doing? Or I love your music or anything. Or do you just move on? Well, it depends on the vibe. Most times like, you know, people in Nashville are so kind of accustomed to seeing people out that most of them. Like New York. Yeah.

You just, you don't really bother them. It's like the unspoken rule is like, if you see they have their kids with them, you definitely don't bother them. You just leavepoken rule is like if you see they have their kids with them You definitely don't bother him. You just leave him alone do their thing. Yeah have their kids with them Yeah, you know like if you're backstage at a show and you run into someone it's normal to like go up and introduce yourself But not like in like a fanboy kind of way. Yeah, that can kind of kill the vibe You know what I mean like even though they appreciate it still like when you're meeting some of these people Like just having the dynamic of meeting them like a normal person like me and you talking. Yeah appreciate it still like when you're meeting some of these people like just having the dynamic of meeting I'm like a normal person like me and you talking. Yeah, it's like real real. It's a cool thing

it's I think it's an interesting thing too because Celebrities believe it or not even though they're celebrities and that's what they wanted a lot of time The last thing they want to talk about is being a celebrity Yeah, straight up, you know They just want to be have conversations that don't involve will tell me about this or tell me about or what about this what about you know what I mean it's just it's gonna be normal folks and feel normal a little bit enough interviews like yeah kind of one of the unspoken rules backstage is like you just don't talk

music when you're backstage like yeah if you run into one of those dudes like talk about literally anything else anything but music yeah like you know like you you know there was one time the first big band I ever met was stained Okay, and you know it was that you know a certain spot that we all used to go to it was Like Aaron sat down next to me and I was like man. I'm you know, I'm really excited for the show tonight He's like thanks dude. I want to talk about anything other than music. Let's talk about Stuckart and duck hunt. Okay Okay, so I kind of learned from them, you know, yeah, that's interesting. That's that's what he said Yeah, wow every year to go duck hunt. I didn't know that Capital the world apparently I know a lot of people come there

But you know, it's amazing when you think about how many celebrities do come in and out Arkansas and you never even know that they're here. I'll tell you one thing, the Capitol Hotel downtown is where a lot of times celebrities will stay when they come here and they do it because those folks understand discretion. Like nobody else. Yeah. They are built around that model that nobody's gonna know. Nobody's gonna see you. We've got an entrance for you. Otherwise that is not accessible to everyone else.

Yeah, I remember when we were at Riverfest one of the last years that it was done and there was a shooting that happened. I don't know that anybody got hurt, but somebody was shooting a gun. And we were walking, we were coming back. We had parked at the Capitol Hotel because I kept, I had a relationship with them at that time because I put a lot of comedians there

when they would come into town to perform. And so, you know, we're standing out front there talking to the door guy or whatever. The shots happen. Listen, that guy, because everybody started yelling and running. That guy grabbed us like we were Bill and Hillary Clinton. And said, Come on. And all of a sudden, I'm being dragged and we're running. I didn't even know, you know, what's going on yet.

You know, I don't know if he saw something. I didn't, but this is just their protocol. And they took us down under this tunnel, through this thing, uh, back up the backside and, and, and, and came out the backside of the parking lot where somebody else was pulling my vehicle up. And they're like, there you go. Get out of here, man. Get out of here.

I was like, holy shit. This is what happens when you're cool. You know, yeah, like in Nashville, there's a whole like, I don't know if they call it like tunnel system or whatever, but like, you know, the CMAs were just last week, right? And they're over at Bridgestone, but there's like music city center. And that's where they all pull up to go there, but's a way that they go under yeah, yeah, they found out in Alaska they have a

Rental car place called rent a Rick Okay, they got pictures of all the famous people on the walls in there that come in and rent cars from them Yeah, like Burt Reynolds pulling up in a 92 station wagon And it's been pretty smart. I mean, honestly, if you're a celebrity and you want to go unnoticed, buy a piece of shit or rent a piece of shit car that nobody's going to lose, going to look for a celebrity in a piece of shit, you know, for station wagon. Nobody. That's the idea.

Yeah, that's no, that's brilliant. That really is brilliant. They you know, they had tunnels to come to find out from the Playboy Mansion. They had tunnels there for people to come in and out of the Playboy Mansion celebrities undetected. For them ditty parties you know that's that's where that's the OG ditty party there. Yeah no telling what was happening there you know. I mean I don't think their drugs were were secretive you know those were probably just out to smell. No they I think they were on tables and stuff yeah. Gold platters and what drugs were secretive. You know, those were probably just out to smoke. I think they were on tables and stuff. Yeah, gold platters and what?

They were quite open about it. No, they were probably bringing plates around like my buddy was in high school. Here you go. Want some of that? Want some of that? Yeah. Back in our Legends days.

Yeah, back in the Legends days. Is that what we call it? The Legends days? No, when I worked at Legends. Oh, OK. I was going to say, I didn't feel like a legend in high school. Maybe you did. I think it's retrospective. Yeah, it probably is. Probably is. Yeah. What did you like when you were in high school? Did you like going to school, man? You know what?

No, I hated school. I didn't even go to high school. No. Okay. Well, that's good. You got out of there before it was too late. That's smart. You escaped. Yeah. no, no, I just gotta scream. And look at you now. You're co-owner of Legion Scaffold, baby. Look at you now, huh? Heck yeah. Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Amanda, did you love school or no? I did until I got a night job. Until you got a night job? Yeah. What night job did you have when you were in school? P's and Q's. What is P's and Q's? Is that a strip club? It is a strip club.

How were you in school? This was back in the day baby. This was in the day. This was in the late 90's bro. You could do that in the 90's couldn't you? Yeah in the late 90's you could do that. Especially whenever your boss wanted a copy of your driver's license. Yeah, hold on. Not to see it.

Yeah, hold on though. So I know that they couldn't go, but the dudes in your school, did they know? I didn't have dudes in my school. You didn't have dudes in your school? No. Where were you going? Mount St. Mary. Oh! She went to that. Mary. Oh, wow.

You were double. Yeah. I went to the all girls, heaven and a little hell. Wow. That is amazing. Yeah. So did the guys over at the other one? No, maybe.

I don't know. They were too young to get in. No, they couldn't get in. So that's what a down low secret that had to be for a while. Oh God, I felt so cool. Did you, I was a legend. What about you? Well, you are a legend. What about you? Did your parents have any idea? My, um, my mom worked, you know, um, like a 7 30 AM shift. And so she, I mean, she just was in bed and I mean, so nobody knew, nobody knew. And if they did, was in bed and I mean, nobody knew, nobody knew. And if they did, it was a head in the sand kind of situation.

Like, let's not look at it. Let's not address it. Which is like being a drug dealer. Yeah. Pretty par for the course in my family is like, we don't talk about it. We hear no evil. Yeah. No evil.

Exactly. No evil. Something happens and we got to get a lawyer, you know, we blame everybody else. Yeah. Oh yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.

Or at least, yeah, I mean, my mom was one of my biggest enablers. I love her. I love you, mama. If you're on here, um I'll see you later. That's a wild story that, you know, I, I thought I was bad because I was smoking weed when I was seventeen. I mean, you. Now, I was working at a strip club. I shouldn't say bad but you know, if you're sixteen, seventeen working at a strip club, it's probably not optimum. Yeah. To be honest with you in life. Well now you did develop some skills though.

Oh, so many skills. So, so many skills. But I mean, this was something that I knew I wanted to do. Yeah. I absolutely knew I wanted to do when I was probably 12. Well, about 12 or 13 years old, I'm at home on like a Saturday afternoon, right? And you know, back in that day folks,

you didn't have streaming, you didn't have on demand or anything like that. You watched what was on. You had the shit that was on and that was it. And there was a movie on called So I Was a Playboy Playmate or something like that. Okay. And it was it was the story of three different women who, you know, one was a lawyer, CPA, one was a professor, and one was a stay at home mom. And, you know, they were all in these, you know, pigeonholed into these identities and da, da, da, da, da. And then they ended up posing for Playboy.

There was like open calls for, you know, models. And I watched that movie and I was like, I want to do that. I mean, the very first legal tattoo I got, no, wasn't even legal, that's a lie. Because I got it like 17. But I got a Playboy bunny on my ankle. Because I was like, and I was at work that day. And I walked next door to Santa Cruz tattoo,

because they were next door to us. And got, you know, we were slow at the club and went and got a Playboy Punny tattoo. Uh-huh and where's this where was this at? Peas and Q's by the way. Crystal Hill Road. Oh this is North Little Rock area. Yeah. Okay. Okay wow. It's not there anymore. No I clearly. It was Miss Kitty's at one point. I do remember that. Miss Kitty's that was Peas and Q's. Okay okay yeah. Now I know we still have, I think the paper moon is still there, right?

Yeah. Okay, and then you have visions. Is that, and then there's one in Hot Springs, I know. Is that it, or are there more? There's Centerfolds and French Quarter in Hot Springs. Oh, in Hot Springs. There's two in Hot Springs. Yeah, they get buck-necked there.

They do, that's a BYOB spot. Yeah, they get nearly. They are nakey-nake naked. You want to know their zodiac sign you'll see it. Illusions, peppermint hippo, paper moon and I think that's that's pretty much that's pretty much it. There used to be one in North Little Rock over off the Boerther I think called Foxy's or something. Oh the Foxy's? Yeah. Yeah. It's still there. Is it? Yeah. It's a strip club? Yeah. Really? No it's not. Yes it is. Is it? I mean I doubt it's shut down in the past you know four years. We can google that. Anybody know? Come on y'all know y'all know. I don't. Oh Susan knew where it was. Yeah, across from Wild River country. You show right, girl.

What was your stage name? I'm just kidding. Ha ha. What was your stage name? Let's see what the let's see what the people are saying here real quick. Let's see. Oh, Mike said he got bonds from his granny. Oh, Susan Briggs, I know Susan. She's a nice lady.

I'm sure she is. Yeah, I believe her. I know her. Her and Aaron. Yeah, they're good folks. They closed this year. Did they really? Which one? Foxy's. OK, so now I can say now I can say what I wanted to say, which is I always understood that was not where the better dancers were. Oh, that you weren't considered a very great dancer or you didn't stay there long if you were. Even their A squad was like another.

It was like a C minus squad. Yeah. Yeah. In the 70s we had the A squad and the B squad, which was basically, you know, day shift and night shift. All right. So, so clearly, you know, you've've you've had a copious amount of time in exotic entertainment venues. So what are you really talking to? No, no, I'm talking to you.

I've not been dancing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody wants to see you dance. Yeah. So tell me at least two or three wild stories, crazy things that happened that you saw when you were there. So when I worked at Primetime, for it being such kind of- The primetime, I forgot when it was called the primetime, baby. Man, it was amazing. You could always bring the porn stars over there. That's what I was gonna tell you.

Okay, okay. So the porn stars that come out there, they would come and have a feature. And the porn star, and they got this room in the back and whatever. But I mean, they, um, they, those were always just a lot of fun. They never really did anything. I think we had gorgeous George. We had the rest George.

Yes. We had gorgeous George come. That was probably the last one that I saw and she was the best one. She actually danced. She actually had a routine. It was fantastic. So what did most of them just came and sat and signed autographs? They'd get up there and they would just take something all, you know, take their clothes off.

Okay. And then they'd like sit in front of people and like rub their tits and something and then come out and have drinks, sign, whatever her... I didn't even say a bad word! No, I know you did great. It was because I did those. They would sign, you know, Bush McCollots and everything. And, man, the dope dealer lived out the back door. So, you know, the way it was set up,

we had our dressing room. And when you came out of the dressing room to turn to go out to the bar, if you just kept going straight to the emergency exit that had no siren on it, you would keep walking straight to the dope dealer's house. So like, Oh, he had a house back there. We just live man. What a smart dope dealer. Yeah, straight up. Like I, I mean, I'm grateful to be sober today. I have 100% but I had a lot of fun. Like we, oh, God bless America.

Now you had a lot of fun. I'm not condoning the use of methamphetamine. What about people acting up though at the strip club? There would be people that would like to throw change. Change? Who's going to throw change at a street? Throwing a change at the B squad. You get your ass beat, what happens? Somebody wanting to get clocked upside the head with an ashtray. That's what would happen. Like you throw any change, head with an ashtray. Yeah, that's what would happen like you throw any change

We're throwing ashtrays at you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I threw a beer bottle at somebody at visions because they threw some change at one of my at the girl that was before me and I was I mean I'm on like Day two or day three and we're drinking Jaeger and doing blow and I was like let's go We're I'm red dye and I mean and I was like let's go we're I'm red dye and I mean and I just actually didn't throw it I kicked it it was a full beer it just been sat down I'm like I'll spin it right they asked me to go home that night the thing yeah because the beer hit him yeah yeah pretty good oh so you you feel go kick it into him. He kicked his beard straight into his face.

Oh, wow. Don't throw change at my girls. Never, never. And there was one that we had at Legends. OK, this is before we even, this is, yeah, plenty up top. Did you ever see her? No. Plenty up top.

No, I haven't. I'll bring you a picture next time I come through. But I mean, I'm going to blow your mind. She had very large breasts. Oh, I have I'll bring you a picture next time I come through. But I mean, I'm going to blow your mind. She had very large breasts. Oh, I was shocking. I'm shocked by this. We were all living at Colony West Apartments. So me, the baby daddy, we don't have a baby yet, but me and him. And then, you know, Brown and basically like everybody that worked at Legends

and a couple of regulars all lived at Colony West. Okay. So Pliny up top stayed you know obviously at Mike's and so she wants to go to the pool. Okay the swimming pool. Yeah. And they asked to borrow a bathing suit from me. It's like I don't. I don't have the same amount up top you do is what I'm trying to tell you., so she ends up wearing like something I would used to strip in and we this is an apartment complex Yeah, there are children About yeah, and I mean her chest was Easily and I assumed that the whatever she was wearing probably wasn't even barely covering anything

Yeah, I mean it barely covered anything on me let alone her you're right Always say love when I see the swimsuits now that the popular trend it looks like they're too small Yeah on the top it just it's like a square that covers the nipples and that's it and I'm like really that's a swimsuit No, when when I worked in Memphis So remember when Metallica's video for turn the page and he's got the lady in it. Oh, yeah, like you okay? her She was there. She was there performing. She was their feature Yeah, I thought that was the coolest thing ever like some chick from a music video for Metallica's

That's cool. Oh is here and I was like, this is the coolest thing ever It is this for the rest of my life like Tawny Catan showing up. Yeah, so cool Yeah, that's great. That's some of my stories. All right Susan said no stage name just she had a girlfriend Yeah friend girl a friend girl. A friend girl? There's a difference between girlfriend and friend girl.

What's the difference? I don't know. No, there is one. Okay. Speaking of comments on here too, Galen, I just saw where you commented on here. I miss you buddy, love you dude. Oh, what up, what up, what up Galen?

Yeah, he's with the the Darphin day one. Yeah, I know Galen. Galen Klein? Yeah, of course with the the Dar from day one. Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, of course. That's a real one, man. I miss you. He is a real one. Yeah. Yeah, for real. Yeah. All right. All right. Let's see. We've got just a couple of minutes left here.

So let's let's do this before it's too late. Oh I'm here, lying lunched on a dumb guy's knee Oh, a big hard valk drowned in some honey Why you laughing? Why you laughing? This shit ain't funny What? This shit ain't funny What? This dude, that's this dude right here, y'all.

This is, that's this dude. Ringtone. That's this dude right here. Hell yeah. That's that dude. Callback songs. Yeah, that's that dude right there, y'all. That's the key maker if you want him.

Yeah, we all just need to be listening to Luke all the time. If you aren't following him on the all the things do it. Yeah, no, you are. Oh, thank you. This is the this is the nightmare story right here. This is the ID channel story. These are the stories that parents is just the worst you could imagine. A Colombian school bus driver allegedly there's no allegedly

here abducted a seven-year-old girl held her captive for more than a decade until she escaped earlier this year the suspect Carlos Higuita is now facing charges of kidnapping a lot of charges okay you know all the kind of how long would they how long would they lock him up? They should I don't know I know they should kill a different place. So They probably have killed him already the man who worked as a school bus driver Detained a seven-year-old girl in early 2012 took her to a house in the city center He psychologically manipulated and assaulted her, made her

believe that behavior was normal. During the girl's captivity her name was changed. She was taken to various buildings in the city. She was kept out of school. When she turned 16 she complained about the treatment she got and in retaliation she was locked up in a house from which she managed to escape in February of this year. 12 years later, she finally escaped. Mr. Higuida was arrested by the national police. I said during the preliminary hearings, he didn't accept the charges, meaning he said

he was not guilty but he's clearly guilty and if he's not dead now I'm sure he will be soon he didn't accept the charges like no yeah it's always weird when when you know you see him not guilty it's like you got caught with her. Yeah. And there's no not guilty here. We saw you on camera, man. Yeah. But that's, that's a nightmare story for a parent. I mean, that, I mean, that is terrible just to even imagine that. Yeah, that was, yeah. Former My Chemical Romance drummer found dead in his Tennessee home. I heard about that. Yeah, man. Bob Breyer, 44, he joined the rock band back in 2004.

Longest drummer on record for the band, by the way. He had last been seen alive November 4th. It replaced the original drummer. But the cause of death is not available. But animal control was called to the house to take away two dogs. They said the body was pretty badly decomposed. They don't expect pal play. So I would guess in all likelihood he probably OD or, or some kind of health issue that caused heart failure or something.

And maybe an aneurysm. Yeah. I mean, it could be, it could be, I don't want to, you know what, maybe it wasn't an OD that seems likely, but it may not be, could be, I don't want to, you know what, maybe it wasn't an OD. That seems likely, but it may not be, you know, may not be. It's sad that that's like always kind of the first thing you think about. Well, if you die alone by yourself and you hadn't been found, I mean, it's, you know, typically you're 30 years old. Yeah. Most, most people that age have a lot of friends and people hanging around them, especially if you're a rock star.

So to go that long probably means you've alienated a lot of people around you. Or they thought you were somewhere else on vacation. Yeah, I mean, I guess that could be. All right, and let's see if there's one more here. No, I don't think there is one more I wanna do. So we'll wrap that up and, hold on. I don't think there is one more I want to do. So we'll wrap that up and hold on.

For men. When choosing a restaurant, ask her what she wants. And then gently suggest somewhere with burgers, beer, and TV. Who has good dim sum? Hooters. This has been Manners for Men. Who has good dim sum? Hooters. That been manners for me who has hooters that's great that's great yeah have you thought of the coolest line you've written or the coolest line you've you've heard you know I was thinking about it I think

I've got it so I'll drop a little sneak peek on some new VR stuff oh there's a there's a song that is gonna be on the next batch of stuff for Vantage Ruins and it's called Everywhere Nowhere. And the story from that one is I was on Broadway one day hanging out with a big group of my friends and one of my friends, Bridget, was there. And she said, man, it feels like I've been everywhere and nowhere all at once. And I was like, oh my God, that's a song right there. And I wrote the song about trying to encapsulate

what anxiety feels like in the moment that you're feeling it. And I heard her say that, and I'm like, that's a damn song. Yeah, that's great. I was like, I'm gonna use it. And so the chorus is everywhere and nowhere at once, standing still with a mind on the run. And it keeps on going.

That's a good line, standing still with a mind on the run. That's a real good line right there man. And so like I'll let y'all hear it whenever we're off and all that but uh but no that that's one that I'm I'm really really stoked for because it's just it's it's got a similar feel to the one that I let you hear in the truck. Yeah but it's it's I I here's the problem I have with the one I hear in the truck. I need to hear it more and I can't. I'll send it to you. Yeah, that'd be awesome. No, I'll keep writing it. Yeah, no, I keep, in my head, I think I got the words wrong.

I don't know, I'm still singing it, but I'm not sure I'm even close anymore. So yeah, I would love, man, it's that, I'm telling you, you'll want it too. It's like, as a matter of fact, I'm probably gonna have to give him money when he sends it to me, I imagine. As far as the song I wish I had wrote though, there's there's two that come to mind

Lifeline by bad wolves. That's will forever be one of my all-time favorite songs It was the first one they had with DL on vocals in the band after their lineup change. Yeah Oh, yeah, they're great. They were they were just in town and then a newer song that just come out that I'm so jealous I didn't write three days grace just dropped their first single with both vocalists yeah with Adam and the new guy and it's called Mayday and it's it's killer it was them and Howard Benson and all the guys over at Judge and Jury and I had been like I'd been hearing through the grapevine for about the past two years that Adam was eventually gonna work his way back.

Yeah. And like, so I knew it was coming. And even with knowing it was coming before they announced it, I still wasn't ready for how good the song. I'm gonna have to I haven't heard that one yet, but I'm gonna go listen to it. Oh, it's so good. It's it's it's Adam and Matt, like, like, Matt's not leaving the band and right, and they're gonna do the two singer thing. like Matt's not leaving the band and Adam's not joining, they're gonna do the two singer thing. Oh, that's awesome. And that's real interesting too, to be able to incorporate both of them. And look, I mean, let's be honest,

they probably have enough money to do that. Yeah. So that's cool. And I mean, they both have, I mean, just a stupid amount of number ones under both their belts. So it's like, and they all get along, so why not? So their egos aren't involved. Exactly. That's amazing. Yeah, like, you know Adam had all his hits

Matt had all his and imagine Sammy and Dave sharing a stage You know what I mean? That's not gonna happen Did you yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, who was it that was here Reuse it just the other day was saying they liked the Van Hagar version better And I was like, oh, that's interesting, you know, it's it's real interesting, but that's what he grew up with You know, I just I love Sam. I do I think it's amazing I just I don't it's the keyboard II part of it is a little much for me at that era Eddie's son Wolfgang It's the keyboard part of it is a little much for me at that era.

Eddie's son Wolfgang, his band. Oh, they're amazing. Oh my goodness. I mean, he's, he's kind of like you. He plays everything. Oh, thanks dude. Yeah. I mean, what do you do? You play everything except what drums?

Yeah. God didn't want me to use my hands and feet. Me either, man. I tried out for drums in school. I didn't have any rhythm. Wolfie kills it on his stuff though. And he actually funny enough uses ultra bridges producer and all that stuff. So it's, and they they're like Creed and seven dust and Wolfie. All those guys are on the same management. Like it's all just super small world. Yeah. How is his, um, you know, obviously he's playing,

you know, big places, but are they, are they progressing to headliner status? Are they headliner status now or they're definitely headliner status and something like the hall. Well, right, right, right. Like that. I, you know, he's already had multiple Grammy nods with the band being super new. So like, it's gonna be, he needs a couple more big hits. They're really mainstream out, right? Yeah.

Like it's not a, it's not a question of like caliber of talent or anything like that. It's more so just about like having that one song to break out that. Yeah. You know, cause like, it's funny. I'm, I'm friends with all the dudes in tantric and they had the one song breakdown like forever ago, but they're still out there. Like they just did Creed. Cause this past summer somehow correct me if I'm mistaken.

I may be Tantric and days of the new. There are, isn't there a connection there somehow? There might be. I don't know it myself only because the guys that Tantric has been through a ton of lineup changes right here. And so the guys that I know are some of the newer guys in the band. Okay. So I, you know, I don't know of it myself.

I want to say that, that maybe that there is some correlation between the early tantric and days of the new. I don't remember, but uh, days of new at that one mass massive hit song. I'm trying to remember the name of it off top of my head. I'm not, but it's damn good. But anyway, I digress. Uh, what's going on at the break room today? Anything today?

Nothing's going on today. Um, I have, I'm not open today. I'm spending the day with my mother. Oh, that's lovely. That's lovely. What are your, you all got big plans? Are you going to strip together? No, we, no, we, uh. Hey mom. Yeah, no, it's uh, we always spend the third and the fourth together. The third is my brother's birthday and the fourth is the anniversary of his

death. So we, you know, I think we're going to get our nails done, mani-pedi, you know, just really spending time together. We don't, we don't put a lot of parameters on it. You know, it's just like be together and support each other. I think that's great though. That's awesome. I'm not sure what Reggie's talking about on on the thingy? Oh, don't mind.
