That's that today, April Fool's Day. I'm Kevin Turner, That's Dandy
Baylis, that's Mike's Roy J. J. Jackson. Ever, Fool's Day
is a tricky one because I a am not a big prank Well, I'm
saying pranks for fun as long as they're not mean spirited. I actually didn't
really love punked. I always thought it was kind of Hey, I didn't
fully believe all of it, although I do think it's authentic. But I'd
rather see, for instance, i'd rather see Johnny Knoxville get shot off a
cannon or you know, we man stick his dog and a bike spoke.
Then god, well, I mean it's just horrible. Then did you really
do that? He put it's a jackass, you know, just you know,
I don't know to see stuff like that then kind of mean. And
I know some people like I did the Drop interview and that's a little maybe
it's a little mean spirited, but it comes from a place of asking someone
to do an interview and they do it. I think someone said yes,
I think some of the best but also kind of mean pranks are the ones
that end up wasting someone's time. That's if that's the biggest sin of it.
I think that's a great one. Yeah, because you know, the
time is currency these days, I would like some of us have less of
it than we used to. I guess we all have less time than we
did before, that's true. But yeah, it's like when you waste somebody
like one of those damn drop interviews, or when Mosquito and the Hulk waste
some guys or out of their day. I mean, that's a prank.
They're rarely a prank phone call that goes on for forty five minutes. They're
rarely, if ever, coming from a place of a being mean, no
b They have agreed to do an interview, so it's like they've given permission
and signed up for something. Soon as we'll take them on a ride.
You don't worry about that too much. The April Fool's Day prank. Hate
it do If anyone goes for that on April Fool's Day, I absolutely hate
it. Well, it's very popular, someone's gonna do it, and companies
are gonna do it. I was trying to check Twitter. It's hard to
tell this early in the morning. Who's who's up to their their funny pranks
again? Oh, Dorito's is gonna send a million Doritos through the roof of
the building. Yeah, but what we knew about you read last week?
Yeah, seven eleven's hot dog flavored Seltzer water is like kind of funny.
Yeah, the new Big Bite hot Dog Sparkling Water, which is brought to
you by House of Miracles. Okay, that's funny, that's really fun their
side project. Are these actually real though, because I'll go buy a can
of this just to have it on display. That's funny. Big Bite hot
Dog Sparkling Water. Happy, Why would you produce that? Why would you
waste the money to produce that? First people talk about it, We'll talk
about it, and then they remember that's true. Oh yeah, I just
passed a Volerro to pull into a seven to eleven and get my gaye.
It combines a mouthwatering experience of seven eleven's iconic Big Bite hot dog in a
one refreshing beverage ketchup and mustard included. Okay, which we have learned that
mustard and catch Up are best friends. That's funny. Malcolm taught us he's
a little tiny genius and choose at some point the people that mix mustard and
catch up, and that's something wrong with them. You didn't say you put
them together. They just are always next to one another, like salt and
pepper. Salt and pepper are best friends too, Yeah, they are.
They have to hang out a lot. You know, we all thought Bert
and Ernie were best friends. Turned out they were really gay. No they're
not. No, No, We've just it doesn't matter. Have you ever
heard of Kevin's Natural Foods? Yes? I have? Kevin. What's their
bit? Oh, you're like Jesus, They're gonna put some carbs into their
food for the first time. I speak Kevin, Do you speak Kevin?
Kevin's Natural Foods has their new line of personal care products inspired by food dishes,
including Korean barbecue deodorant. Come on, that's funny, cilantro lime toothpaste,
yuck or tick a Masala sunscreen. I mean there having a little fun.
I look, I'm not gonna say I'm on team having fun and then
point view, its stupid, that's stupid, super stupid. Stupid. I
agree with you. Those don't hurt anyone. There's no victim to that.
It's just a write up. That's fun. That's not a prank, though,
that's just a pr thing. What's a prank? What's a real good
prank? Prank is rooted in getting someone two We've done one hundred pranks.
I know. Pranks are a staple of radio stations. Really we should have
done more around here. Maybe I will crank one up all right, then
put the little cricket and cat sounder into the wall again, and let's hope
that we're not fine because of damage done. Just make sure they're all gone
by Friday. Yeah. I love a big prank, I'm telling you.
I love it. The action, I love it. I hate it on
this day when it's contrived. Yeah, okay, that's fair. I know.
Yeah. A part of the prank is getting someone when they don't know
what's coming. I think it's harder to I think it's harder to execute a
prank today. I ain't good just too. Everybody's on guard, right,
yeah, oh absolutely absolutely? Are you on guard? Oh my god,
every day you're on guard every day, head on a swivel. I did
declare myself years ago unprankable, But I that's very cocky, and I don't
know that that's true anymore. I don't think I'm on it on guard as
much as they used to be. But I don't think you're gonna I don't
know anything worthy of like tricking me. I don't think I would fall for.
But I don't know. I've done some things too, like low hanging
fruit, like interns back in the day that I I, well, you
got the audio, so it's great. One kid. We basically we had
cam Smith freak out like he was head of the company and freak out on
an intern that he was looking at porn on the company computer. And he
basically said, well, this was Kevin's computer. And then the intern was
like, well, does Kevin need to lose his job? You will get
the producer role of this show if and the guy actually was like, no,
he didn't do anything wrong. It was the sweetest thing. And then
I lost touch with the guy. But I felt so bad. It was
a little too high pressure. Didn't we have the multi level prank on Corby
that Dirk was mad at him. Oh man, that was because her involved
and Corby was just throwing out just a conversation a sad movie that the one
that came to mind was Shindler's List, which is about some uh his German
atrocities. Yes, in the past, they were going through some changes,
so we got him to believe that Dirk was so mad at him that he
was pulling out of like Dallas dogger events and tennis tournaments, crap Corby was
involved in. He it's kind of the thing that he was on the verge
of tears multiple times, knowing more so just knowing that he upset Dirk.
Yes, that he disappointed Dirt, and we had Cuban involved Dirk. So
fun, that is fun, but also like that's the one thing like if
you were going to trigger a response that well, back in the day,
you didn't execute a prank unless you could produce audio of it to play on
the radio. That was the whole point. I've been the victim of a
couple of those, have been you know, part of pranking other people,
and you know, I always go back to one of the most genius ones
of all time was the night that we or the afternoon that we broke into
Mike Rener and Greg Williams' motel room at Port Charlotte for spring training and hid
alarm clocks, battery operated alarm clocks in different areas, probably about eleven of
them to start going off at about three thirty in the morning every fifteen minutes.
These little digital alarm clock, you know the sound. One started at
three point thirty, and I think there were about ten of them that went
off every fifteen minutes, and then there was a lull after the last one
of about ninety minutes. So at about five forty five in the morning,
a big radio clock that we had duct taped underneath a counter was set to
the classic rock station and cranked to ten. So they spend all night trying
to clear their room of these, and you can never get them all.
So you're like, you think you're in the clear, and you go back
to sleep. It's like you find the first one, you find it,
it's like, okay, they got me. Then the second one goes off
and you realize, okay, this is a terrorist attack, and then you
realize that they're probably everywhere. So you tear the room apart and maybe you
get three or four of them, but you don't get all of them.
And then there's another one, and then you keep tearing the room apart,
and then you think you finally got it all done. You're asleep for an
hour and a half, and then at five forty five in the morning,
the clock radio the bigs with the speaker, big speaker cranks on and it's
tell me Lies by Fleetwood Mac, just blasting on ten throughout your entire motel
room. And then you're just like, what, I got no sleep,
I'm mad And this song is stuck in my head forever that anytime I hear
it, I'm gonna go back to that place. Ask Mike Rinder about that
song. That's what he will tell you. He'll tell you that entire story,
and it's one of the best. And then there's always prank retribution.
Like you get pranked, you immediately want to get the person back. Most
people will be we'll lie like assassins in the reeds and wait for their opportunity.
Not the hammer. The hammer wanted instant, instant retaliation. So the
next night he breaks into our room while we're away during the day and we
walk in our motel room. That night after an evening of crushing karaoke and
port Charlotte at a strip mall bar get back at around two in the morning
and we walk in. It's like something's not right in here. We both
pull back the bed spreads to our bed to reveal that Grego went to Tom
Thumb and emptied out the seafood department and put raw seafood in our beds,
and we just got to look at it. It's like at your grouper,
Okay, cool, I just take this sheet off, fling the seafood out
into the yard and then go to housekeeping. They brought us another set of
sheets and slept fine. Really cost us about ten minutes, but that was
the hammer. I'm going to get them right. You just see him sneaking
in dressed like Chris Farley and Beverly Hill's and Ninja. But we even reverse
that one because you know, those old motel rooms have those air conditioning units
that are kind of like run underneath the main window. Then they have those
vents that bring in the outside air to cool it. We just stuck all
the seafood into those vents, so their rooms smelled like seattles next morning,
your mom, ye, your mom, okay, So you know, but
a prank is a comedy staple, sure, right, let's add in farts.
Farts are a comedy staple as well. I'm not overly fart gab.
I do think farts are funny. Many people who don't think they're funny.
I mean, you'll test it out the waters a fart free Friday every once
in a while. We'll back the old challenge grooves whose hands are shaken back
there, okay, dude? And then we we do. We do stories
like there's a gas leak in Arlington, Hey, an overturned truck uh least
twenty eight cases of beans under the highway. A farm produced more methane than
cows. And he's just he's like Jordan Peel and the memes. This is
where the roads meet. For me. I got an email a couple of
years ago. I've been what I've wanted to play this for you guys for
a long time. An email a couple of years ago from a listener,
and he explained to me what he does. And I went to his Instagram
account, looked at it's all black screen, you know, pitch black,
And basically what he does on his account is he rips one in the room
with his girl and gets her response and she doesn't know what's happening? And
his account was fart school dropout. It was already amazing. Here example one
of the about twelve I'm to play for you here. Please air out,
will you please? Okay? No? Mm hmm what please air it out?
Don't air out there? Okay, please air it out? Eaning wafted
the black to the left, so terrible, this is uh, don't air
it out over here. So she's singing a song or something right here,
bab I was singing a jam? What e I can smell it, babe
please. She's one of those chicks that ends every word with uh, stop
baby. He's also trapped in a part relationship, but as you can't get
out of you know. He's in her Instagram now at this point, now,
no, not at this point, and he had collected ten to fifteen.
One of them is all funny, had a message it's a hard time
right now with COVID and everything, but I promise I will get back to
providing you the content that you all want. Because there's ten followers. That's
so funny, it's so great. I promise part school drop out will turn.
You've been stronger, stronger, louder than ever louder than ever. I
labeled this one the deep what you could make your own part machines, Yes,
spartan, what the f well? Also to start my own Instagram.
Page two would deliver an email, sorry, you've got fart. It's amazing.
Uh. This one is okay. So this is like a double attack
right here. This one gives you a question which this is added the groups
and Christine and probably JJ's library. The question for babe, Oh my god,
go like grass, I'm serious, babe, ba wait is that the
one that we have? This is the question for Yeah, this is okay.
It should be yea, that's from him. That is such a hoomie
babe. Oh my god, god. So they're laying in bed for this
one. This poor girl get her on. They're waiting in bed for this
one. Okay, well yeah, okay, yeah, they get up out
of it. This is uh, this is go get the air freshener.
Oh my god, babe, please go get please go get the air freshener.
It's pointed at me, at me, I like how you can just
hear him a little. Yeah, he doesn't really talk, does He's got
his phone turned over, he's just record. He knows what he's about to
do. He's got a plan. Yeah, and this was his life.
He does it for the ten followers. Is wrong with you? I'm done,
I'm down with this relationship. And then it smells ew I'm done with
you. That's a big one, genuine her. Yeah it is. She's
getting mad done with this? Wow, please air it out? Okay,
uh wow, Then you have two sep a serial killer would have. You
can tell you too. When the post dates he had spread it out,
like if you're doing this every single day, she might know something top he
may babies be one of those people who are comfortable doing that around each other,
which I've always found to be weird. But whatever, But there the
dates were all kind of spread out, like two weeks later under the blanket
here? Want you want to be that growing Get out from under the blanket
with me right now? Yeah? Sorry, I'm sorry. She's mid conversation
there, but but she doesn't want to be for Halloween. Had a stupid
grin on his listening, not listening to a damn word, just brewing one
up. I'm doing something more important, Hoping that the phone's placed in the
proper, proper area to get optimal recording tech quality, making the perfect Brownie,
the greater, the greater. Good here told you want to be growing,
you don't want to be that frollowing Get out from under the blanket with
me right now? Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry sorry, And that
one was just the beginning because she's talking. He laughs before he does it.
Listen to his little told you want to be growing, you wouldn't want
to be that h Get out under blank it with me right now? Yeah,
it gets out. She's mad. It's not necessarily because of the two.
It's because she knows that he was not paying a bit of attention to
anything she was saying, and his mind was thinking about how can I perfectly
time right in the middle of her sentence? All right, last one?
Maybe I was literally inhaling a yawn when you did that. Now, Danny,
your favorite golfer is Tommy Fleetwood, right, yeah, sure, Ryder
Cup pictures a few years ago, European teams hanging out. Okay, God
should have seen Tommy Fleetwood park like Lee Westwood, Rodrick Carrington. Maybe it's
incredible. Let's see this happened in a Memphis Grizzlies post game show Thursday Night
seven, o'clock Grizzlies life some power through um pretty sure. Mike garroflow get
busted on the NFL network one time. I am also told that he told
the players that he acted like a quote bleephole idiot, which is kind of
redundant and not grammatically correct, but I think he did it to make a
point here and and and really he's beating himself up just as much. Okay,
he is talking around it. You can hear the smile enter their speech.
Yeah, really waked up on Mike's that well, you know, yeah,
no, it's strange, like the Tyler Fleet wouldn't make sense. Yeah,
that's fine, that's I don't know. Uh, you know the dick

the theme sound to Jaws. O. That was getting some pleasure on the
company submarine Slam two torpedoes and our hide chief. I O don't know.
That was a little fun. So that was a lot of fun. Underestimate
yourself. That was a lot of fun. Yeah, we're generally fart free
here. But let the guy fart free. Let the guy that lead the
backstretcher Joana that one. You know, those things are like you go back
