WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.639 Welcome Back News Radio eight forty w h as Tony Venetti, Dwight Witt, 2 00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:10.240 and Dave Jennings out till tomorrow. Rick, of course is in with us. 3 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.279 Rick. Have you seen slap Shot? Slap Shot? I don't think 4 00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:22.920 so. Come on, Rocky team Now. I did text Dwight and Dave 5 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.600 over the weekend and I said, here's the thing I noticed about a slap 6 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.280 shot some reason. It was in my timeline on one of my services, 7 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.000 and I said, it's Saturday afternoon. The Famili's left me alone for a 8 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:38.039 while. Slapshot. I figured out that in the mid seventies there were no 9 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:45.039 attractive people. Everybody in that movie, even Paul Newman in this movie looks 10 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.439 like crap. He's got the fur coats on and the leather pants and leather 11 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:54.000 jacket. Seven looks terrible awesome. Look at the guys on the team. 12 00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:59.200 That is an ugly, ugly group of guys. They're the best looking ones. 13 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:00.960 Come on, oh dude, look at the rest. So when I 14 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.840 was playing hockey, I went out and I met the Hanson brothers, all 15 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.239 three of Yeah, yeah, they turned that into a moneymaker. Oh boy 16 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.239 did they? They signed about chiefs Jersey the works. I think the movie. 17 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.120 This is the first time it sort of hit me that I think the 18 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:22.719 movie is smarter than people give credit for. They just want to give it 19 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:29.719 as a super macho, misogynistic, raunchy film about hockey right, and in 20 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:38.599 reality it is it is that it's there. They're talking about showmanship versus playing 21 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.400 the game in its purity right, like the fighting versus of your playing hockey 22 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:48.680 right right, old time hockey. Putting on the foil coach, putting on 23 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.680 the full coach. What are you doing that for? Okay? Best best 24 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.879 one to blake any shore. Best one though, is when they get in 25 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.719 a fight. Was before the anthem were just right out of the gates, 26 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.959 Yes, warm ups. Everybody gets in a fight, and that the ref 27 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.960 skates over one hands and brothers. During the anthem he goes try to hear 28 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.919 the song. He says something else in there too. So it is also 29 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.639 a snapshot of what these small towns all over America looked like. There was 30 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.199 always the mill, right they remember there was closing of the mill that men's 31 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:30.680 the hockey team might not make it. All of these river towns in America 32 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.319 had these mills attached to them, and that's what drove the cities. When 33 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.639 those little mills started to close down and shut down. These towns have gone 34 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:50.120 to crap, and it is interesting to watch it from that perspective of And 35 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.680 I think Paul Newman's character, I think he's one of his best performances. 36 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.360 That people are like, are you nuts? It's Paul Newman? How did 37 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.039 they talk him into doing this movie in the first place? But I think 38 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.360 the movie is smarter than you think. I'm going to somebody's driving and go 39 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.240 I'm gonna watch the damn thing we got to. I own the movie. 40 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.639 I love it so much, is it right? Look, don't watch it 41 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.360 if you have seven, if you have sensitive millennials or general gen Z in 42 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:21.599 there, if you have anybody in your household that are sensitive gen Z millennials 43 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.879 in there, don't watch it with him. And you know what, watch 44 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.840 it and tough and the little Pansy's up if you ask me. But I 45 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.599 gotta say I enjoyed it a lot. All right, Speaking of movies, 46 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.599 let's do the box office receipts going on, and even the sex versus violence. 47 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.599 I'm sorry in the end when the guy, the Princeton guy rolls around 48 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.000 and gets naked. It's the European versus American, Like Americas want to see 49 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.960 violence in Europeans are okay with sex. It's like even that diconomy. Yes, 50 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.560 so this is on streaming right, Yeah, slap slap shot. Just 51 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.919 look up slap shot on any ear. Just google slap shot and what platforms 52 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.879 are on and it'll come up. Okay, I've told you listen. Please 53 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:08.039 don't use college words like what did you say? Let's do the top five 54 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.039 box office receipts. Speaking of movies, coming out, number five is The 55 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:18.360 Watcher's three point seven million. Is that a scary movie? Hey?

These two in the middle, come on Garfield the 58 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.639 Movie. And then coming in third is another Player of the Apes movie. 59 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:42.759 You see the cat loves Lasaya so funny, so imagine you don't want to 60 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.319 see he makes fun of the dumb dog too all the time because the dogs 61 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.720 just trying to be his friend. Right, Oh my gosh. Then comes 62 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.040 in uh, number three, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. That 63 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.120 brought in five people. By the way, Garfield brought in five million, 64 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.040 if I didn't mention that last week's number one is now number two. Bad 65 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:08.160 Boys rided that Ride or Die still brought in thirty three million. Oh good 66 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.480 for them. And then Inside Out Too? Did that come out this weekend 67 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.639 or last week? No? Last weekend? It came out last came out 68 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.480 last weekend? What did it make? And this is even more impressive. 69 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.560 Inside Out Too brought in one hundred and fifty five million dollars. Has got 70 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:26.519 to be the biggest opening weekend. Since that's a big opening since talk on 71 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.199 the second top gun, I like a nice big open No, that is 72 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.399 a cute movie. It's it is obviously based after the original Pixar which is 73 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:42.319 Disney Pixar or whatever about Inside of a teenage Girl's Mind. Doctor Oz came 74 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.279 to the rescue you at a recent flight from New York City to Cabo San 75 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:51.199 Lucas, Mexico. Wow. The minair healthscare involved a man who lost consciousness. 76 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:58.399 That's when doctor Oz sprang into actions used with his usual tree Oz. 77 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.920 He was able to get the guy back. He checked his vital signs, 78 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:06.240 a little oxygen, little OJ, and the man set right back up and 79 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.319 he was fine. He does recommend that he gets checked out by a primary 80 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.399 care physician. But pretty cool. Doctor Oz was on that. I forgot 81 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.959 doctor Oz ran for office. Why would you do that? I don't know. 82 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.079 If you're a doctor, you're making twenty million dollars a year on TV? 83 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.079 Why are you running for office? My luck? If I were to 84 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.040 pass out or have some kind of airline, it wouldn't be doctor Phil. 85 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.720 Doctor Phil is still doctor Oz. And he would come over and go, 86 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.560 what are you doing with him? Anyway? To Susan, you're okay, 87 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:39.800 let's cut your parts off, and I'm gonna ask you what did he do 88 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.000 to bring this upon himself? Susan, you wouldn't even have a doctor. 89 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.800 You'd have the what's the judge lady's name? I have y? Hey, 90 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.759 judge, Judy, judge. Okay, I got it once again. Let's 91 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.000 look up her net worth. It's it's astonishing. She's good. I can't 92 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.680 stand. I bet you she's worth three hundred million dollars. Okay, hang 93 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.399 on, maybe more. I might be wrong. I think it might be. 94 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.519 I think three hundred is a good number. Three hundred million. All 95 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.160 right, let's see, because I just remember it was staggering. It's going 96 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:14.720 to Forbes goly four hundred and forty million dollars dollars just for being a B 97 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.560 word to people, because I have a uh, well what people love seeing 98 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:25.560 other people's problems. I guess you're right. People love thinking they're hamrder than 99 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:30.120 other people. So our buddy Jamie Adkins here in Louisville, he was on 100 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.680 and we were watching this, of course in the Fox studio. Yeah, 101 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.639 of course he was. And he went before Judge Judy and she asked him 102 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.120 a question and he said, yes, sir, no, ma'am, no, 103 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.360 ma'am in her eyes got real. Bit you start a light well Wells 104 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:50.199 Fargo workers are getting fired. Now over a dozen Wells Fargo's workers that work 105 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:58.000 remotely have just been given the boot. The company accused him of simulating keyboard 106 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:03.199 activity. It's fantastic, No this existed. Uh and it might be a 107 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.399 band name coming up in here in this Storytastic smell a band name in this 108 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:16.319 Wells Fargo determine that those employees that they fired were creating a false impression of 109 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.639 active work online. Here's the story. There's something called a mouse jigger jiggler, 110 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.360 mouse jiggler. Yeah, yeah, that's a band name. Yeah, 111 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.480 it moves the cursor on the screen, so it looks like you're working. 112 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.159 But a band name, a band name mouse Jiggler. Yeah yeah, yeah, 113 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.919 right, definitely. So anyway, evidently the mouse jigglers sell for only 114 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.279 twenty dollars, and when the working at home skyrocketed because of the pandemic, 115 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:50.759 evidently these mouse jigglers went way way up in sales. These are the people, 116 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.360 well, frankly like us that in school said, if you put the 117 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.320 time into getting out of the work that you get out of the work to 118 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:07.080 just doing the work, cry you you'd get an a you'd be done by 119 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.799 now. But you're trying to game the systems and you're spending more time and 120 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.639 money doing that. How long did it take you to make that cheat sheet? 121 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.919 Right, yeah, a little tiny cheat sheet. Just study, just 122 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.480 read the material. It's funny because I was taxing with old friend over the 123 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.519 weekend. I'm just goofing with him. At the end, he says, 124 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.600 you know, like aunt such and such passed away. I'm like, oh 125 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.679 my gosh, had I known, I wouldn't have been goofing with you. 126 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.600 And he said, no, no, no, no, you're a nice 127 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.080 distraction. I said, Finally, I said. All of my teachers used 128 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:48.360 to say he's a constant distraction in life in the classroom, not gonna apply 129 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.639 it to life. Florida is now taking flight when it comes to mosquitoes. 130 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.840 They're using drones in Broward County. Drones are being Countyward County. Sorry, 131 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.919 but the local is called b I don't think so. Yeah, they do. 132 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.480 The Broidians do is actually what you call them. Drones are being used 133 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.480 to get in the hard to reach places where mosquitos like the lat nest and 134 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.080 their eggs. Trucks can't get through it and you had to whack through all 135 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.000 kinds of brush to get through the eggs. Now they're using instead of machetes 136 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.200 and men working, they're using drones. They're able to travel exactly where the 137 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.480 eggs are being laid and then spraying the pesticides whatever. I'm fine with this 138 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.480 as long as it's some guy you know, with glasses or something going on, 139 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.480 and he's some of the more claminos that's way and he's controlling it. 140 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:43.440 It's not some kind of AI you know, a drawn with poison. I 141 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.480 don't rick to you. I don't know if you guys remember when they were 142 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.879 trying to control mosquitoes, especially in Florida. When I would visit my grandparents 143 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:56.320 in q West, the tanker that looks like a water tank or you know, 144 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.600 they would have the pipes coming out of the back and they turn on 145 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:07.200 the mist. Do they remember that d T or something right, and they 146 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.919 would smoke. It would fill right well. Back in the seventies, they're 147 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.720 like, oh, go play in the smoke. Can you go in there? 148 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.639 And like Vietnam or something, we would run. We'd run through this 149 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.480 mist of deadly gas and our parents on the front porch drincken the beer going 150 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.960 ah, kids at play, It's fantastic. But that's what they would do 151 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:35.279 to try to control mosquitoes. Because again, mosquitoes have killed more people than 152 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:41.679 all of the other reasons combined. No, absolutely, mosquitos through human history 153 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:50.080 have killed more people than wars, religion, disease, natural disaster. How 154 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.919 come there hasn't been like a mosquito man villain, you know, like batman, 155 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.000 I think there has been a mosquito man. I think there has been 156 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.279 a mosquito that bets you. There is sucks, But mosquitoes have killed more 157 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:16.799 people than anything else, all things combined. Okay, I mean building the 158 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:24.320 Panama Canal. That was the number one reason for thousands of people died building 159 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:31.759 the Panama Canal because of just the mosquitoes. Hell, when in the Second 160 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.600 World War, when they were fighting their way off island to island, mosquitos 161 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:43.080 were part of the issue. People were getting malaria constantly from what mosquitoes the 162 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.480 problem was. Okay, so stan Lee, not Stanley, but Stanley Lee. 163 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:56.519 Correct. He did try to make mosquito man a thing, but evidently 164 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:03.600 it was blocked by Spider Man. There's gonna be a mosquito man. I 165 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.159 guess they said, no, Mosquito man makes sense. It's the thing stab 166 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.759 drinks your blood. Well, spider rose up in the web and then side 167 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.000 note, side note. I was at the zoo yesterday. I went and 168 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.000 saw the vampire big huge vampire bats. I don't care what age you are. 169 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.480 They are scary as hell. I love our We have their gigantic Oh 170 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.480 we have bats in the back. No, I don't care. There are 171 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.879 ones that look like the Bromstokers. Yeah, Dracula ones. They have like 172 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.600 ten of them at the zoo. I think they're cutsy would see, Yeah, 173 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.919 they are not. Remember mosquito landed on me. If it would fly 174 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:45.399 away drunk, uh, probably explode. I bet his cholesterol would go up. 175 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.960 Do you think it would get drunk though? If the mosquito, I'll 176 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.200 say, Saturday, I'm out to pull naked and he's out doing his mosquito 177 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.240 things. He goes, Wow, that's a target. It's very hard to 178 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.960 miss. Do you think he'd fly away drunk or there's a blood that much? 179 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.919 I think that they probably they probably know. They're like, ooh, 180 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.679 don't bite him, he's gonna die soon. Okay. So I heard a 181 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.879 horrible story down in the Everglades. They have these hunting camps right and at 182 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.039 the turn of the century, they had these guys that people that worked there, 183 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.919 and they called them jelly's. And the reason they called them jellies is 184 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.600 because they would so when they would eat outside. It's like nineteen oh seven. 185 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.840 So when they would eat outside, they take these workers, the waiters 186 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.120 or waitresses, and they would get them stripped down naked and they would rub 187 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.120 jelly all over them. And they say, go stand over there, and 188 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.960 they have their hands out like they're on a cross. But they're just standing 189 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.480 there with their hands out with jelly all over them, so all the mosquitoes 190 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.120 would go over there while they ate, while they ate their dinner and drank 191 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.799 their bourbons. Look, if that's not humiliating enough, can't they just wear 192 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.720 shorts and at least to be a jelly. I think it's one of the 193 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.919 sickest things I've ever heard. They told the story like there was no bea 194 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:05.440 and then all the mosquitoes would go over there. So I'd sure dad do 195 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.879 for a living. Well, interesting, you ask who we have? Ye 196 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.519 have zero resk, zero resk, baby, That's what I'm talking about. 197 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.200 That's what I'm spraying.

It's gonna be a good interview. 210 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:15.919 Stick Around News Radio eight forty whas Hello, Courtney Donahoe from the Bloomberg 211 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.320 Money Minute. I was wondering where you all are. Sorry, we're in. 212 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:26.039 I was in the bathroom. Roll guys, takes a minute. We'll 213 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.600 get it again. They get it. They spent millions of dollars on these 214 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:34.360 beautiful new studios and put one yurdal in. What the hell are you doing? 215 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.879 Yeah no, but that's like the lady's room too. You know at 216 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:44.080 Bloomberg World headquarters, there's always a line after a certain hour, and you 217 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.360 know, being on the air, you have to time everything. People understand 218 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.080 that, that's right. I tried to explain that to my dad, about 219 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.240 how I have to time going to the bathroom. And he's like, that 220 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.399 doesn't make sense, and I said, I know it doesn't, but it's 221 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.440 part of the it is, and part of your job is giving us some 222 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.640 sort of good news at eleven thirty. Yes, well, first of all, 223 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.079 it's June seventeenth and it's national take your Cat to Work Day. Oh 224 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:17.160 that is a terrible idea, exactly, absolutely awful. I say the line, 225 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:22.279 don't do it, don't one gender takes their all right, sorry, 226 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:27.240 stop, all right? So take your cat to work Day is a terrible 227 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:33.119 idea. Yeah, So at least let me give you some good news besides 228 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.319 the terrible ideas that we have. What's a better idea is five time Olympian 229 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.759 Sean White is launching a professional snowboarding tour. Oh good, what the hell? 230 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:48.799 This is awesome news. Well, they want to make a little bit 231 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.359 of money. You know, it's exciting during the Olympics, and then nobody 232 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:56.640 cares about I know it's not going to start till March. She said, 233 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.200 she said, it's exciting during the Olympics, is it? Well, I 234 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:07.000 thought they did. I thought the one. I thought no, no, 235 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.960 no, I think I think that no. I think the snowboarding added a 236 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.440 little bit too much or no, I'm sorry, added a lot to the 237 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.960 Winter Olympics. The Summer Olympics, though, we have to break dancing is 238 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.680 now an Olympic sport, and and at one point they wanted to eliminate wrestling. 239 00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.039 I just I don't know who these people are. I want to see 240 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:29.839 Dwight break dancing. Oh is he? Oh? I guarantee you he's still 241 00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.599 got the outfit. Yeah. Nice. And the little piece of aluminum cardboard. 242 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.440 Yeah, the little cardboard you put electric. What my name was, 243 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.240 Cozy d That was my break. You don't understand, Corny donahoe. We 244 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.400 tried to. We pitched. We pitched the idea of to the mayor of 245 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:55.519 Uh. We got a guy delivering pot belly sandwiches and he goes, what 246 00:18:55.559 --> 00:19:00.880 are you looking for? Already he's got sandwiches. Uh, he's lost. 247 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.160 He's got a giant bag of sandwiches. We should just tell him we ordered 248 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:10.200 it. Damn it, damn he'sa wait, he's outside our giant window, 249 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:17.440 our giant window that's not bulletproof. So I am eating I am eating my 250 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.519 pork, which is way better. But anyway, we pitched a commercial and 251 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:23.200 then go get the food. I just want to say one real quick thing, 252 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:27.039 be when we get to your stupid boring money numbers, you're welcome, 253 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:33.119 and you're welcome. Doss High School. My high school actually had a breaking 254 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.559 team, a breakdancing team called the DOS Breakers. And here with some stupid 255 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.920 boring numbers. It's Courtney Donaho in k We would we pitched to the bay 256 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.960 Or. I said, you know what, we need to get these gangs 257 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.119 together, and we need to talk to him and say, instead of killing 258 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.279 each other, what we need to do is have a breakdance competition in breakdance 259 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.319 fighting, breakdance fighting, breakdowns fighting. Of course, yes, I remember 260 00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.960 that breakdance fighting. By the way, Speaking of the Olympics, Kate tug 261 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.759 List, look for her in the Olympic swim trial. She's very, very 262 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.079 good. She's one of my neighbors, so one of my neighbors. Cool. 263 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.880 We'll see hopefully from wonderful Pelham, New York. Hopefully she'll be able 264 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:12.759 to do it well. The Olympic Trials are going on right now for swimming, 265 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.400 and I was just an Indian. I was like, how is the 266 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:21.160 Olympic Trials for swimming? Inside Lucas Oil they put the Olympic pool on the 267 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:26.039 football field. It's ridiculous. It's cool. There is a great article that 268 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.920 I'm forgetting. I don't know if it's Reuter. So the Wall Street Journal 269 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:34.160 did on the whole entire process of building that pool. It was just Google 270 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.319 it it is, I mean it was. It's a very long article and 271 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.720 I read the whole entire thing and it was a lot of words. It 272 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.240 was great, but it really it just showed it took them. I think 273 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.720 they only had like two or three months to be able to build this, 274 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.519 and then one of the pools is getting sent to Italy and other pools getting 275 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.200 sent to the Caribbean. At the end of it all, they had to 276 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.480 take out a bunch of seats in to where the peace was. Kind of 277 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.039 crazy platforms, Yeah, it's kind of crazy on real definitely Google whatever. 278 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:10.440 Yes that anyway, one more story, let me give you apparel retailer Express, 279 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.559 remember them back in the day. Yeah, that's where we wore a 280 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.440 lot of the club clothes. One bankruptcy court approval. Don't sell itself for 281 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.880 one hundred and seventy four million dollars. That includes its mall, Landlords Landlords 282 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:27.680 Run and everything The company says the deal saves thousands of jobs, so that's 283 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.839 good news, and nearly all of its existing stores will remain open, so 284 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:37.759 good news for a lot of the employees. Express Well, again, who 285 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.160 you want to be in your mall? It reflects on what stores are in 286 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.480 there. Yes, okay, that's just the bottom line. When you have 287 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.759 high end you know, like von Maar in those type of where a tie 288 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.960 is three hundred dollars, that's the clientele that will go there, right, 289 00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:56.119 So if you have a Chuck e Cheese, you're going to get families, 290 00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.559 right. So it depends on what you what you put in your mall. 291 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.720 But the problem with it is not a lot of people are shopping. They're 292 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.000 getting whatever they need off Amazon or having it delivered to their home. So 293 00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:12.640 a lot of them malls have to remake themselves or try to look for experiences 294 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.680 or other ways to be able to keep people inside the mall. So they're 295 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.680 hoping maybe this is one of the retailers that will great keep. Yeah, 296 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.920 we turned our seers into a top golf. That's what we did there. 297 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:26.759 You go, well, that's a smart idea. Top Golf's pretty popular. 298 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.240 Yeah, we're starting to move higher, so good news on the markets now 299 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.599 up forty points after being lower throughout most of the morning. Tomorrow, we 300 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.359 have a key report on retail sales. I was about to say consumer prices 301 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.559 because I'm so used to saying consumer prices over the past week. But they've 302 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.759 been cooling, so that's good. The S and P five hundred up two 303 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.599 tons of percent. Tech really supporting things today with the News Radio eight forty 304 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:57.240 whas Bloomberg Money report on Courtney Donahoe. I don't think Michael's ready for your 305 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:02.039 this interview. That's a difficult wanted to pull off. Michael, Hey, 306 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.799 Michael Sweet Striper, what's going on? Man? How are you? What's 307 00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:07.839 going on you guys? How are you? Mike? Hang on before I'm 308 00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:14.160 listen, I want you to understand Dwight is one of the most respected journalists 309 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.799 to Kentuck. He is. This is a fifty thousand why Clear Wade station. 310 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:21.960 That means probably twenty seven states can listen to our voice right now on 311 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.319 the Eastern seaboard. And he's gonna kiss your ass for the next time. 312 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:30.519 I tell you it's gonna be a fanboy experience interview, So get ready, 313 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.000 Michael Sweet from Striper joins the show. You're hearing one of the new singles, 314 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:40.359 Amazing Grace from the new album to Hell with the Apps. It's acoustic, 315 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.119 Hey, Michael. First of all, I wanted to bring you in. 316 00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.640 That's the single that you guys released. I wanted to bring you in 317 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:49.440 with another song of a favorite of mine on that record. No more hell 318 00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:52.240 to pay, but I'll figure it out. That's prettying in with a single, 319 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.319 but well done. And you're by the way, You're going to be 320 00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.559 in concert tomorrow night at the Mercury Ballroom here in Louisville, Kentucky. I 321 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.039 guess before you get into I won't get into the beginnings. But is it 322 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:11.119 more difficult to get an acoustic album? There's less, like, there's less 323 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:17.720 effects and pedals and technology to lean on. Is it more difficult recording a 324 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.079 stripped down album? It is because you have nothing to hide behind. You 325 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.359 know, when you have the big amps and drums and all that stuff, 326 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.519 you've got a little bit more noise to hide behind if there's a mistake or 327 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.000 you know, a mishap or what have you. And when you're doing acoustic 328 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.079 there's nothing, and especially live, you know, we're out here playing this 329 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:42.000 stuff live, and if you your voice cracks or you hit a sour note 330 00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:47.559 or whatever, everyone hears it. But that's the beauty of it. It's 331 00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.400 very organic and bare bones, and it kind of just showcases what the band 332 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.240 does and what the band can do. And it's you know, for a 333 00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.359 metal band, it's not an easy thing to go out and play the song 334 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:06.079 acoustically. It's really not. He's a co founder of Stryper, over ten 335 00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:10.359 million albums sold worldwide. But I want to go back to the beginnings with 336 00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:15.880 you, particularly your dad. He's this rail railroad railroad worker, and he 337 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.359 used to come home and he would blast Jerry Lee, Lewis, Elvis, 338 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:26.759 Chuck Berry and then going to Black Sabbath and Hendrix. Did your father's musical 339 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.240 choices influence you, oh, one hundred percent. I mean I used to 340 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.839 air guitar jumping up and down on my bed when I was a kid, 341 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.839 to Chuck Berry. Yeah, So Chuck was my first guitar influence. You 342 00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:44.720 know, I don't play anything like him, but that's what inspired me and 343 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:47.680 Elvis as well. I saw all this at the LA Forum when I was 344 00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:52.119 twelve, same night led Zeppelin at him, so I have this upbringing musically 345 00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:59.480 from my dad and from my mom that really helped to shape me as a 346 00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:03.359 musician. And it's quite eclectic. You know. I love everything from Elvis 347 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:10.279 to to Black Sabbath to Judas Priest, to Pavarotti to uh, you know, 348 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.359 I love Tammy Wyett. I mean, country, pop, rock, 349 00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:17.039 you name it. If it's a good song and a good voice, I'm 350 00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:18.680 there. See. That's how I was coming up to get anything I could 351 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.519 get my hands on. But I want to I want to talk more about 352 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.440 your father. And by the way, Tony's right super fan. So if 353 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:29.400 I get any of this wrong, forgive meg me crag me on the air. 354 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.319 But for what and for what I understand just gleaning over the years, 355 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:40.359 is that your your father somehow started watching Jimmy Swagger because he liked his singing 356 00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:42.680 voice, and then it trickled down to you guys. Any truth to that, 357 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.200 Well, yes, but it's a little different than that. We all 358 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.759 started watching Jimmy Swagger and it was based on the fact that we liked his 359 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.079 voice. He sounded a little bit like Elvis Presley, and he played a 360 00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.519 little bit like Jerry le Lewis. Because their cousin. So that's what drew 361 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.519 us in, was the musical side of Swagger, Jimmy Swagger, and then 362 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:11.119 we heard him preach and it really struck a nerve and got to us hit 363 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.000 our hearts, and we went out and we found a church, a Southern 364 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.319 Baptist church, because that's what Jimmy Swagger is and was, and we got 365 00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.000 saved and the rest is history. As they say, I kind of left 366 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:25.599 the church, my brother and I once we got caught up in the la 367 00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:32.079 club scene and that was I started playing clubs when I was fifteen years old. 368 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:37.480 So between between the age of thirteen when I joined my brother's band in 369 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.599 twenty, I kind of walked away from the church. And then we rededicated 370 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.799 our lives and devoted the band Striper, to God, and here we are. 371 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.240 That's beautiful, and there's more to the story, by the way. 372 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:55.200 So Jimmy Swagger, he's instrumental in getting you and Jesus in the same room. 373 00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.920 And then ultimately you make it in Stripper, tremendous success. You're on 374 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.559 MTV, you know, you're in the hits charts, and then when you 375 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:11.200 at the higher popularity, the very guy that influenced you somewhat. Jimmy Swagger, 376 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.880 he comes out against you, all. I gotta think, I gotta 377 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:19.480 think that's that's brutal. Was it a crushing feeling when Swagger came out against 378 00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:23.559 you? It was, And I would even go as far as to say 379 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:30.160 that that was probably part of the reason why we kind of walked away again 380 00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:37.640 from the church. And during our against the Law period in nineteen ninety ninety 381 00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.599 one, you know, we'd go and perform at Hammerjacks, for example, 382 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.720 in Maryland and tell people about Jesus and then the minute the show is over, 383 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.799 we'd get drunk with them at the bar, right you know. So 384 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:52.400 this was going on, and you know, I don't blame Jimmy Swagger for 385 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.359 that, but I do think that it did crush us. It did hurt 386 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.759 to see him holding up our albums telling people not to go to our shows. 387 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:06.000 They would come and protest our shows with bullhorns everywhere we went. I'd 388 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:08.279 go out and speak to them and say, have you ever even seen us? 389 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.960 And they would say no. I'd offer him tickets. Most of the 390 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.759 time they'd say, now we don't want to see it. They didn't even 391 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.039 know what we were about, and they were judging us and telling people we 392 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.240 were evil and wolves and sheep's clothing. You know, yeah, a culture 393 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.359 personality and I got to tell you that. What's uh? And by the 394 00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:30.400 way, I'm a Christian as well. But what strikes me fascinating about that 395 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.599 is if Swagger was to come out against I don't know, Iron Maiden or 396 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:40.799 any kind of other band, their sales would triple. But now he's attacking 397 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.920 your very base. Did it hurt you guys in the pocket book as well? 398 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.759 It did not? Oh good? I mean that was the one that 399 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.400 was the one thing and is the one thing that still happens to this day, 400 00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:57.680 and that is you can't stop what we do. Like so many bands 401 00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:03.640 speak out against this, you know, we're we suck or this or that, 402 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.960 But yet somehow the train keeps rolling down the track. And maybe it 403 00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:11.920 upsets a lot of people. I don't know, and they're they're envious, 404 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:17.119 or maybe there's a little jealousy in there. I have no idea, but 405 00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:19.599 you got to be real careful when you go out and you point fingers at 406 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:26.240 people and you judge other people because we all have garbage in our closets and 407 00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:27.519 I've been saying this, lady, but it's so true. You know, 408 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:32.440 if we just focus on that, we'll spend the lifetime cleaning out our closets, 409 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.599 our own closets about someone else's. Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, I 410 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.400 just left. I just lost what was a father figure to me since fifteen 411 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.480 years old. And on his deathbed he said, remember three c's. Don't 412 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.599 criticize, don't complain, and don't condemn. And I got to tell you, 413 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.640 I've been trying to practice as extremely difficult as we're talking to Michael Sweet 414 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:57.279 from Striper see Striper Tomorrow Night like you've never seen them before, stripped down 415 00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.480 acoustic very to support the new album To Hell with the Apps. But I 416 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:08.480 got to ask you, Brad Delp, if you asked me one of the 417 00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:15.599 most recognizable voices Boston's lead singer, one of the most talented singers in my 418 00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:22.759 opinion. Unfortunately he takes his life, his own life suicide hotline nine eight 419 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.000 eight, by the way, Brad Delps takes his life. And then somehow 420 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.519 you wind up fronting Boston. Were you and Brad Delp friends or how did 421 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:36.079 that come about? You don't believe it or not. I moved from California 422 00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:41.279 back to Boston, Massachusetts, back in nineteen ninety five, and we lived 423 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.480 in the same area, but we never met. Our past crossed many times, 424 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.759 we knew all the same people, but we never met. And he 425 00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.480 meant a lot to me as a singer. That the Boston album was the 426 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:57.200 first album I ever purchased with my own money. Wow, And it really 427 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:05.519 really shaped me as a musician tremendously. And basically years later, he takes 428 00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:08.160 his life and they were going to do what was the last going to be 429 00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:14.039 the last Boston show. They invited Sammy Hagar, Ann Wilson, Mickey Thomas, 430 00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:17.680 all these singers they called me. Wanted me to come out and sing 431 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:23.000 a song called Higher Power, and of course I was willing to do that 432 00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:27.319 and ready to do it. And all the other singers dropped out and I 433 00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:30.119 wound up going and singing you know, more than a feeling long time peace 434 00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:35.000 of mind rock and roll band. Yeah, So it went so well. 435 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.000 I learned all the guitar parts too. They didn't know I played, and 436 00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:43.279 I walked in there ready to go, and it went so well they asked 437 00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:46.240 me to join the band they wanted to continue on, so we did Wow 438 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:52.559 listen. So I was baptized. What year was that? What's that? 439 00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:57.240 What year was that? That was? I joined in two thousand and seven 440 00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.319 and we toured in two thousand and eight fifty six shows with sticks. Wow 441 00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:05.119 Wow listen. I became baptized April two thousand and five, and there was 442 00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:07.200 a verse that says, I want you hotter code. If you're luke warmon' 443 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.400 spit you out. And that drove me just to want to evangelize to anybody 444 00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.680 I could. And I was doing rock radio. I had backstage passes, 445 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:19.839 access to shows. But Rob Zombie comes to town. I say, you 446 00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.279 know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give him the book that led me 447 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:24.480 to Christ. It was Billy Graham's The Journey. I'm gonna give him a 448 00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:30.119 Bible. Now it's Rob Zombie. So I'm absolutely petrified on how this is 449 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:31.640 going to go. I go back there. I say, look, I 450 00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:35.079 don't know your heart, but I told you my story. I gave him 451 00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.440 the two books. One of the most genuine and grateful guys there was. 452 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:40.240 Don't know if he threw him in the trash or not. I say all 453 00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:45.200 that to say this at one point, and I can't remember where you sat 454 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:51.440 down with Kim Peterson King Diamond, lots of satanic imagery, lots of inverted 455 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:55.599 crosses, the works you all meet. How does that meeting go your polar 456 00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:01.079 opposites did? Was it awkward? Or how did let that go? Well? 457 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:05.039 You know, his dressing room was right next to ours, and I 458 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:09.159 saw that and I said, man, I can't leave here without meeting Kim 459 00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:15.639 and saying hi. And I walked over. I went over and I extended 460 00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:16.960 my hand. I said, what's going on? Man? And he was 461 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:22.800 just really really nice and pleasant and a sweet guy. And we talked for 462 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:30.880 maybe five minutes about the weather in our hometowns and just normal stuff. And 463 00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:32.960 he was the nicest guy. And I took a picture with him and posted 464 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:37.480 it. I lost a lot of fans when I posted that picture. A 465 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:42.320 lot of people unfollowed me and stuff. But you know, I'm the kind 466 00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:45.920 of guy literally, and with all due respect, you know, I don't 467 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:50.159 care. Honestly, I don't care if I lose all my followers, because 468 00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:53.320 that's not why I'm here on earth just to have followers. I'm here to 469 00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:58.320 make a stand and be an example. And if it pisses people off in 470 00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.960 the process, so be it. He's Michael Sweet. He is the front 471 00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:07.719 man with Striper over ten million hours. So the new album is spectacular, 472 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.239 well done. It's called to Hell with the Amps. Catch Striper tomorrow night 473 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.639 like you've never seen him before. Just strip down acoustically at the Mercury Barroom. 474 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.400 Hey, Michael will probably come by and say hi tomorrow night. Thank 475 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.400 you so much for the time I reached out and you were gracious enough to 476 00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.760 come on. I can't thank you enough. Okay, oh guys, thank 477 00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:29.360 you so much as well for the time. And I look forward to seeing 478 00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:31.800 you and come on out. Anyone out there listening, come on out. 479 00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:35.199 It's gonna be a great show. We can't wait for looking forward to it. 480 00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.679 I promise you won't regret it. There you go, Michael Sweet. 481 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:42.679 Thanks Piper, take care of man. Who do we have? Man? 482 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:44.679 We'll see you, right, We'll see you in town. All right. 483 00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:49.480 We are gonna be live a carriage forward on Friday for a live show for 484 00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.440 the tent show. Hit my dingy all right, thank you. We had 485 00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:55.480 two dinghies. Somebody start by dinging. I don't know what's going on. 486 00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:00.960 So we will be live from nine to noon in Southern Dana Lewis and Clark 487 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.280 park Way. Carriage Ford come on by its best by a coachry mile. 488 00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:09.639 Yes, Marty will have a apron on cooking hut dogs for us. Yes, 489 00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.559 good cooking hot dogs for us on Friday. Remember the hired the Wiener 490 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:20.599 King one year, Marty is your listening Get the winner King and then that's 491 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:24.400 Winters. I think it's a good idea, right. So basically they have 492 00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:29.599 the finance people there. They want to use car, new car, use 493 00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:31.960 truck, new truck, doesn't matter. They want to sell every car and 494 00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:36.599 truck on the lot that weekend, which is Friday and Saturday.
