Speaker 1: War on rats in town.
Speaker 5: Mister maror, man make a suggestion, yes you may.
Speaker 4: I know this guy that plays the flute and all
Speaker 4: these rats. God, yeah, he's good and the rats just
Speaker 4: love the guy.
Speaker 1: He's good.
Speaker 4: If I may suggest that he just plays his flute,
Speaker 4: has the rats follow him all the way over to
Speaker 4: Jersey and then you whack the floutest.
Speaker 5: That's what.
Speaker 1: I lived in one building that had so many rats.
Speaker 3: How many?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: There he is right there. His name's Ian Anderson. I mean,
Speaker 4: I mean his name's Jethro.
Speaker 1: So the I lived next to the elevator shaft. So
Speaker 1: I would when I start sat down to watch TV
Speaker 1: in the evening, when I got home, I would have
Speaker 1: like a shoe, my wallet, my keys, and like anything else,
Speaker 1: because where's the other shoe? Because the other shoes there too.
Speaker 5: He's waiting for.
Speaker 1: It to drop right, thank you. You know what take
Speaker 1: a dollar? Yeah you know, I mean one dollar gets
Speaker 1: one ding wow.
Speaker 5: Hey.
Speaker 1: So I would wait because they would gnaw on the
Speaker 1: wiring in the walls. The rats would go and at
Speaker 1: first I called down. They're like, oh, that's just rats.
Speaker 5: And then Tony would ask the rats, are y all
Speaker 5: done yet? And they went.
Speaker 1: No, no, get it. So I would. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: If you threw something at the wall or banged on
Speaker 1: the wall, they'd stop for about fifteen minutes, so you
Speaker 1: can watch back. Hence the pile of stuff. So I
Speaker 1: was so lazy at twenty two years old. I would
Speaker 1: sit there and I would just I was so lazy.
Speaker 1: I would pick up my wallet. I would just throw it,
Speaker 1: throw it at the wall, and he would hit the
Speaker 1: wall and they would stop for ten or fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3: I could simply watch two words tennis ball.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, then think of that. You just solved a
Speaker 1: problem right there right yeah. But if it didn't bounce
Speaker 1: back to me, I'd go, oh it's right over there, okay,
Speaker 1: but somebody else to go it's three feet away, pick
Speaker 1: it up.
Speaker 5: I don't know they caught it. Tennis balls, tennis balls.
Speaker 4: I had a DD movie a DVD called tennis Balls
Speaker 4: in her nightstand.
Speaker 1: Right. Uh, So that that summit is and I don't
Speaker 1: know what the strategies will be, but there's gotta be
Speaker 1: not There's probably not a building New York with without.
Speaker 4: Rats, right, it would surprise me. Well, you know, I
Speaker 4: mean super rich ones.
Speaker 1: You ever seen when they get stuck in that little glue.
Speaker 6: And their little.
Speaker 1: So creepy.
Speaker 5: I would not do that.
Speaker 1: Glue traps are cruel.
Speaker 3: Flip.
Speaker 1: When I was order in a restaurant, it had flipped over,
Speaker 1: so the thing was just hoppy, right, it was just hoppy,
Speaker 1: and I was like, we're all like what is it?
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 1: And we're all back there, We're like, I turn it over.
Speaker 1: So we took like a little like a broom and
Speaker 1: we're like flipped it over. And the rat was like
Speaker 1: it's stuck in the in the stuff till it dies.
Speaker 5: Why would you tell me that story man? Stop doing
Speaker 5: the rat?
Speaker 6: Screen?
Speaker 1: That might have been been that actually sounded a lot
Speaker 1: like Thomas House singing.
Speaker 3: But so I got a list. He's so mad right now,
Speaker 3: you don't want to come in.
Speaker 4: Oh I just what bitch and moan for one second.
Speaker 4: This goes out to our buddy Special Forces buddy Rick
Speaker 4: Gunny Fowler, I'm doing a new favor, and he goes,
Speaker 4: he said, thanks M l and R.
Speaker 5: I'm not with these stupid ass.
Speaker 1: L or maybe later, maybe maybe later M l and R. No,
Speaker 1: maybe might lick no rear.
Speaker 5: There it is there, it is no. I texted him.
Speaker 5: I said, what the hell is MLR? He goes much
Speaker 5: love and respect.
Speaker 3: Well, if you have that, then might lick rear makes sense?
Speaker 1: And if Gunny's doing it's the rest of the world
Speaker 1: against you. Man. Yeah, sorry, dude, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: What's the list? That's right?
Speaker 3: It list our relationship red flags that you really should
Speaker 3: have noticed but you ignored.
Speaker 5: I think I heard a fourteen year old girl sneeze?
Speaker 1: Is there a It was me because I seemed like
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old girl.
Speaker 3: You're selling cookies. I got three fitty.
Speaker 1: Three fit Wait.
Speaker 3: No, it's two fitty. His mom told me not to
Speaker 3: marry him. She said if it were her, she wouldn't
Speaker 3: wait for him because he will not be worth it.
Speaker 3: Three years later, I realized she was right and got divorced.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, but you don't know if the mom
Speaker 1: is sabotaging it, because she's that kind of mother in
Speaker 1: law where she doesn't like you. She loves the son,
Speaker 1: but she doesn't like you and want to marry him,
Speaker 1: so she's sabotaging it.
Speaker 3: So you gotta sat red flags people ignored. He asked
Speaker 3: me to move in with him while all of his
Speaker 3: wife's clothes were still in the dresser and closet bras, underwear,
Speaker 3: sock shoes, wedding dress, everything.
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, no, I don't think so. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: red flag you ignored. And guess what probably didn't at.
Speaker 1: It's a giant, giant signal of people that just can't
Speaker 1: be by themselves. Yep, you know those people that go
Speaker 1: right into another relationship. It's like, why do you do thing?
Speaker 3: I always needed long pauses?
Speaker 1: No, dude, Well mine only lasted two or three months
Speaker 1: at a time, anyway, That's true, real long terms.
Speaker 3: He refused to introduce me to his parents and sister
Speaker 3: for so long during our first year together. I finally
Speaker 3: gave up asking. After all, we hung out with his
Speaker 3: brother sometimes, so that was fine. Well, a family wedding
Speaker 3: came up and I met them. He was furious that
Speaker 3: I told them we'd been dating for four years. He
Speaker 3: wouldn't let me see them again after their wedding. We
Speaker 3: broke up after he cheated on me. Apparently I was
Speaker 3: a side piece. Oh, you're not even my number three.
Speaker 1: You're not even my number three. Why would he take
Speaker 1: Why would he take her? Because you know, someone at
Speaker 1: the wedding's gonna say, so, how long you guys seen
Speaker 1: each other? Four years? Four years?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry?
Speaker 5: What what?
Speaker 3: You're gonna love this one? When I first found out
Speaker 3: I was pregnant, he wanted to draw a chalk outline
Speaker 3: of me and gave me a year to get back
Speaker 3: down to that size.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what, Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, I'm not grasping this. He drew a
Speaker 5: chalk out.
Speaker 3: Line of her when she first got pregnant. Still skinny.
Speaker 3: You got a year to get you fit back into the.
Speaker 1: Back end of this chalk line. That's uh, that's when
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm not allowing you to be near our son. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when it's born.
Speaker 3: He tried convincing me it was my fault. He got
Speaker 3: a speeding ticket on his way to the store because
Speaker 3: I didn't want to go with him.
Speaker 1: Uh, that is uh your.
Speaker 3: Fault, your fault, you see, you would You got me
Speaker 3: mad because you didn't want to go, and I so.
Speaker 1: I sped up.
Speaker 3: So I got mad because.
Speaker 1: Of you, and then I got.
Speaker 3: This being Dick's your fault. Your I don't even have
Speaker 3: to say, do I your your fault to apologize to me?
Speaker 1: You're paying this.
Speaker 3: He used to compliment other women in front of him,
Speaker 3: not like you look nice, but damn, you look fine today,
Speaker 3: or you got a great body baby.
Speaker 5: Uh frowned upon.
Speaker 3: Reirst of all.
Speaker 1: You can't do that in these days in time anyway.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. I think that depends on how long you've
Speaker 1: all been together. If you've been been married twenty five years,
Speaker 1: he did the looked like, I guess the wife's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I get it, she's hot.
Speaker 5: Here's my favorite. Hey Tina, how you feel fine? Girl?
Speaker 5: You look fine.
Speaker 1: Dwight still thinks it's okay to yill that out loud
Speaker 1: in the middle room. He all his coffee going, damn
Speaker 1: he girl sales girl looking good. Dye, You're like, we
Speaker 1: can't can't do that anymore, dude, Hey, apparently you can.
Speaker 5: I wish I had a milkshake like that on my
Speaker 5: front porch.
Speaker 1: By the way, that was always the dumbest I hated that,
Speaker 1: saying you got some shake with or you got some
Speaker 1: fries with that shake? You got them from making sixty eight?
Speaker 5: Sure like? Sure like surfries on my front porch. Swing.
Speaker 1: No, it's.
Speaker 3: I was with my ex for almost three years. Because
Speaker 3: of some strange circumstances, I felt the need to search
Speaker 3: through his phone. So I found a message saved on
Speaker 3: Snapchat with his best girlfriend saying he wanted to see
Speaker 3: her naked. I talked with him about it. He told
Speaker 3: me that he said that because his friend's group was
Speaker 3: planning on going to a nudiest spa. I believed him
Speaker 3: and forgave him.
Speaker 5: Uh, you kind of get what you deserve there, right.
Speaker 1: The problem is if she if he found that on
Speaker 1: her phone, he would have lost his mind.
Speaker 5: Or here's here's the play.
Speaker 4: Okay, did you really send Karen a request for a
Speaker 4: nude Yeah? I did because I wanted to find exactly
Speaker 4: how good are friends you all were?
Speaker 5: Would you do this or not? So you know what
Speaker 5: I think? I think?
Speaker 4: This speaks volumes on your friend, Karen, And you're welcome
Speaker 4: for me weeding your friends out.
Speaker 1: It's a very good tactic.
Speaker 5: Thank you. That one's for free.
Speaker 3: Guys ignored red flags for some reason. After being exclusive
Speaker 3: for a few months, he casually scrolled Tender. He was
Speaker 3: confused why I would be upset. He said, I never
Speaker 3: said no tender.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that's called insecurity. And he wanted to put
Speaker 1: it back on her, But yeah, you're you've been dating you.
Speaker 3: You never said no tender.
Speaker 5: All right, Well, I mean, hey, you never said. This
Speaker 5: is just one big understanding. What is your stance on cousins?
Speaker 1: Thank you Batch. Here's the thing. I have no idea
Speaker 1: because I can't I've never never was on Tender. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what it is. I know it's a
Speaker 1: dating app, uh, but I don't know the rules of
Speaker 1: that thing, So I can't answer that on that Really.
Speaker 3: He had papers in his car that listed personal items.
Speaker 3: I soon realized it was the paper they used to
Speaker 3: detail your personal possessions when someone's arrested. The arrest did person.
Speaker 3: A woman had a different last name than he did,
Speaker 3: but she listed him as her husband. He said, I'm
Speaker 3: just your friend. Turns out they've been married for years.
Speaker 1: Oh damn, that's hard, that's terrible. Oh man, how do.
Speaker 5: You not know?
Speaker 1: How do you not know?
Speaker 5: I think they already know.
Speaker 3: These don't want to know, willfully ignorant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then there's times I just look like I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is weird or not. But I
Speaker 1: get Jaggen. I know. I mean, we know each other
Speaker 1: where everybody is. How do you have an affair and
Speaker 1: the other person doesn't know where you are for like
Speaker 1: an entire day.
Speaker 5: I don't understand what the only time is Susan and
Speaker 5: I are not together?
Speaker 1: Did you not spend those weekend with someone?
Speaker 4: It's like, well, yo, she'll do that, but it's always tennis. Really,
Speaker 4: like ye heard her guy tennis coach will go off
Speaker 4: for these tennis camps.
Speaker 5: That's tennis. You know, tennis.
Speaker 3: But you can't fall behind on your lessons. You can't, can't,
Speaker 3: you can't. She's a busy politician.
Speaker 4: The passionate about her tennis. So they have these different
Speaker 4: tennis caps.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of them are poolside. What does
Speaker 1: drinks and bikinis?
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's because of the warm climate. It's uh,
Speaker 4: it's better for tennis and.
Speaker 3: They don't bring their rackets because these are more calisthenic camps. Right,
Speaker 3: you don't really need the racket.
Speaker 5: Everything explained to them.
Speaker 3: Makes sense.
Speaker 1: She's a saint, right.
Speaker 4: And listen, here's the thing about playing tennis. Well, you
Speaker 4: get done with tennis, your hair is really messy because.
Speaker 5: You're shaking it around. Yeah, and you're not his and
Speaker 5: you're hitting these low balls and you're run.
Speaker 1: It's tennis head tennis head, not BedHead tennis head.
Speaker 5: So it makes your hairro messy.
Speaker 3: It does. In the first six months of dating him,
Speaker 3: he punched a car because he saw me talking to
Speaker 3: a friend of ours at a party. He then wrote
Speaker 3: me a detailed letter, calling me every awful word he
Speaker 3: could think of. I dated him for five more years
Speaker 3: and was married to him for another four.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: And then I got therapy and left him.
Speaker 1: Oh honey, honey, honey, what are you doing? And you
Speaker 1: know her friends too, are just like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: He's a douche? And then everyone too, Come on.
Speaker 3: She told me it was okay to have sex because
Speaker 3: she was going to break up with her boyfriends in
Speaker 3: a few weeks. Anyway, oh boy, because I'm doing and
Speaker 3: what did the guy do you go okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, That's that's the difference. Girls. Girls could just
Speaker 1: walk out the door. Anybody, anybody. Hey, you guys got
Speaker 1: groceries intent, Yeah, I have sex drops the groceries.
Speaker 5: Sure.
Speaker 3: And finally, she was always furious at something. Sometimes it
Speaker 3: would be her dad, mom, friend's work. Then for seven
Speaker 3: years of marriage it became me nearly constantly. Toward the end,
Speaker 3: I realized she was just angry at herself and projected
Speaker 3: it on everyone else. Get rid of negative people in
Speaker 3: your life.
Speaker 5: She's always pissed off.
Speaker 4: It was miserable, And now I'm starting to think I'm
Speaker 4: doing that to Susan. Yeah, I get home, I'm pissed off.
Speaker 1: We nobody thinks that's gonna last me and Susan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 1: You'll run her off at some point.
Speaker 5: Did you guys get a square board on me?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got dust on it because you've lasted way
Speaker 1: longer than we thought. But some people have some squares
Speaker 1: out there that are still available.

Speaker 4: when I was a kid, I listened to rock music.
Speaker 4: I listen to any kind of music I get my
Speaker 4: hands on, But I also I would listen to any comedy.
Speaker 5: Record that could get my hands on.
Speaker 4: I mean, Red Fox, Don Rickles, you know you name it,
Speaker 4: Richard Pryor, and it was just better than watching a video.
Speaker 4: And the other night, the wife and I were having
Speaker 4: some number one tequila and we just put on a
Speaker 4: put on a Norm McDonald album.
Speaker 5: And listen to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice choice.
Speaker 4: Our albums coming back because I love it this way
Speaker 4: I think it, if you ask me, I like it
Speaker 4: better than a comedy video because it's theater of the
Speaker 4: mine and you picture the crowd yourself.
Speaker 5: Are albums making a comeback for comedy, you know?
Speaker 2: I can't say for sure. I hope. So you know,
Speaker 2: it's almost coming full circle where you know, the specials
Speaker 2: and and all of that, and all the videos maybe
Speaker 2: of you know, oversaturated of uh in the entertainment world.
Speaker 2: Now it's nice to get back. I said, almost. Just
Speaker 2: close your eyes and listen to the comic work and
Speaker 2: and uh, I think a lot of people found comedy
Speaker 2: those way. I did the same way. I'm forty years
Speaker 2: old and I found it the same way with George
Speaker 2: Carlin and guys like that. So yeah, I hope it's
Speaker 2: coming back. And I was proud to do it that way.
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, well, I'm glad you did.
Speaker 4: And we had a comedian on a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4: He just did an album too. But I'm not kidding.
Speaker 4: When I was a kid, that's everything I wanted to
Speaker 4: do is just sit in my room and listen to
Speaker 4: records and listen to comedy albums.
Speaker 5: You know I wanted.
Speaker 4: You got an interesting life because and if I get
Speaker 4: this wrong, please correct me. But you I think the
Speaker 4: town you came.
Speaker 3: From Harvest, Alabama.
Speaker 5: Harvest, Alabama.
Speaker 4: I think it's a population around two thousand people, right, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's more of a community than a town.
Speaker 2: You know, it's one of those things where there's a
Speaker 2: a couple of really good gas stations and post office
Speaker 2: and a big high school and yeah that, but it's
Speaker 2: you know, it's only about ten miles outside of Huntsville, Alabama,
Speaker 2: so you know, it wasn't too far of a drive
Speaker 2: to get us somewhere. You know, my my fiance, she's
Speaker 2: from Kansas, so I don't say I live in the
Speaker 2: middle of I grew up in the middle of nowhere anymore,
Speaker 2: because I visited where she was from in Kansas, and
Speaker 2: I stand corrected. Yeah, I've never been anywhere like cann
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, she's and I tell everybody you
Speaker 2: should get you a partner from Kansas. They are easy
Speaker 2: to impress.
Speaker 4: Right they I brought you stick. Hey, listen, so, h
Speaker 4: you grew up in a town of two thousand people?
Speaker 5: No, Derek.
Speaker 4: When I was growing up, two jobs I wanted radio DJ,
Speaker 4: Morning radio DJ, or comedian. But you know, if you
Speaker 4: are being a lawyer, you're going to law school, doctor, medical.
Speaker 4: There's no real school to go to get either of
Speaker 4: these jobs. I went to a car wash and just
Speaker 4: gave up on my dream for years. Did you give
Speaker 4: up on your dream of being a comedian or did
Speaker 4: you always know you were going to be a comedian?
Speaker 2: Oh? I kind of fell into it, you know. I
Speaker 2: didn't know how that goes. Yeah, I didn't really. It's
Speaker 2: not something I chased, you know, I uh, you know,
Speaker 2: and I talk about it on this new album About
Speaker 2: fourteen years ago. I got two DUIs in six months,
Speaker 2: and then that you got to become pretty silly when
Speaker 2: that happens to you, and uh, and so that led
Speaker 2: me to comedy because I lost a lot of things
Speaker 2: and I realized that the only way that I mean
Speaker 2: in my mind, that I was going to be able
Speaker 2: to make any money or have a job was maybe
Speaker 2: be a comedian. So I kind of backed my way
Speaker 2: into it. But uh, being a Southerner, we're the funniest
Speaker 2: people in the world.
Speaker 5: Amen.
Speaker 2: So if you grow up in the South and you
Speaker 2: know you're around that, I mean, it's a pretty natural thing.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'll get on stage and people tell me a
Speaker 2: bit's funny, and I'm like, that's not even a bit.
Speaker 2: I was just describing that restaurant. That's just part of
Speaker 2: being a Southerner.
Speaker 5: Right, right, right.
Speaker 4: And sometimes I'll say something just like a normal saying
Speaker 4: I'm gonna clean up for the radio.
Speaker 5: I'll get frustrated.
Speaker 4: Yeah you know, well kiss a pig where I'll say poops,
Speaker 4: kiss a pig with and people go, oh, that's hilarious.
Speaker 5: Well, all that's just the saying I'm sorry, I stepping right,
Speaker 5: see exactly right.
Speaker 3: See, if you've opened for Nate Pergatzi, clean comedian, Larry
Speaker 3: the Cable Guy, clean comedian Bert Kreischer not a clean comedian,
Speaker 3: do you alter your set based on your audience?
Speaker 2: No, not as much anymore. I used to, uh, but
Speaker 2: just to keep it a consistent show for people that
Speaker 2: are buying tickets and such, I'm I'm I keep it
Speaker 2: pretty clean these days. But yeah, I mean working with
Speaker 2: Bert Kreischer and then working with Nate Bargatzi is two
Speaker 2: different worlds. Yeah. You know, when you're out with Bert,
Speaker 2: you know, you wake up in the morning and he's
Speaker 2: got beer bongs in there and nobody has a shirt on.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that sounds a little bit more buttoned up.
Speaker 5: At fifty six. That sounds miserable. God, bless you look
Speaker 5: talking to Derek Straup.
Speaker 4: Derek Straup's new album Eating Dinner Twice is already out.
Speaker 4: You can get an iTunes, Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music, YouTube,
Speaker 4: all the usual suspects. And I want to talk about
Speaker 4: a couple of dates, one this weekend and one in
Speaker 4: December where you can actually catch him live and don't
Speaker 4: miss this show. But when you go to do this,
Speaker 4: record this album, this comedy album, sometimes your hometown or
Speaker 4: your home state isn't your best home field advantage, meaning
Speaker 4: sometimes you're more appreciated in other states.
Speaker 5: Where did you record this at?
Speaker 4: Do you have a certain market where you do really
Speaker 4: really well at and you knew it would be a
Speaker 4: home run, or did you do it at your home state?
Speaker 2: I did it in Colorado. I'd actually did it a
Speaker 2: Comedy Works, which is my home club in Denver, Okay.
Speaker 2: And yeah, and so yeah, and I mean that that
Speaker 2: was a fun experience for me. That's a club that
Speaker 2: I came up in. But I mean this next time,
Speaker 2: I'm going to shoot a special in May and I'll
Speaker 2: definitely be doing it somewhere in Dixie, you know, somewhere
Speaker 2: you know, probably in Tennessee or Alabama, But yeah, that
Speaker 2: does matter. But I have been in Denver the last
Speaker 2: ten years, so it was a cool experience to do
Speaker 2: it that way.
Speaker 6: Why do you go.
Speaker 4: From Alabama to Colorado? As Colorado turned into a huge
Speaker 4: market At one time, Louis of Kentucky was a huge
Speaker 4: comedy market, mainly because of one talent manager, Tom Soble.
Speaker 4: He'd watched Sinbad, Roseanne, all kinds of people out of here.
Speaker 4: Steve Harvey, as a matter of fact, credits late great
Speaker 4: Tom Sobol.
Speaker 5: With his career.
Speaker 4: Why Colorado is Colorado a hot market right now for comedy?
Speaker 5: Is it because of the week?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I got out there, Well I got
Speaker 2: out here, you know, ten years ago. But no, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't call it necessarily a hot market. But it's definitely
Speaker 2: a very healthy comedy scene and comedy works. The club
Speaker 2: out here is gonna be one of the best clubs
Speaker 2: in the country. And you're gonna want something. You're gonna
Speaker 2: want a home club that's gonna curate, you know, a
Speaker 2: great atmosphere to grow in, have great crowd, have great
Speaker 2: headliners that come in and show you the way, and
Speaker 2: comedy works is I mean, it's absolutely, it's top not. So,
Speaker 2: I mean I got lucky. I didn't know all that
Speaker 2: when I was moving out here. I was just trying
Speaker 2: to go somewhere where I wasn't gonna get swallowed alive,
Speaker 2: like La or New York and and at the time,
Speaker 2: Denver seemed like a smart decision and it ended up
Speaker 2: being that. And I've I've been really lucky.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, Josh Blue was the first guy to take
Speaker 2: me on the road when I came out here. So
Speaker 2: it's been a good journey.
Speaker 4: Talk with Derek straup his new album Eating Dinner Twice,
Speaker 4: it's already out And I got to ask you, man.
Speaker 5: If I'm off on this, let me know. But you know,
Speaker 5: you never know stories are correct when you hear him.
Speaker 4: Is there a story out there about you and another
Speaker 4: guy somehow breaking into Cambin Yards?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what happened with that man? What's the story?
Speaker 2: Well, me and me and John christ we were gonna
Speaker 2: go just take a picture of Camden Yards and we
Speaker 2: pulled up and there was some type of event going
Speaker 2: on where or these people paid money to hit golf
Speaker 2: balls inside of Camden Yards and we just were kind
Speaker 2: of walking around looking through the fence, and the closer
Speaker 2: we got, the more we realized that nobody was paying attention.
Speaker 2: And we were like, you know, if anybody asked us
Speaker 2: any questions, we're not gonna lie. But if nobody asked
Speaker 2: us anything, we're not gonna turn around. And so h
Speaker 2: we just kept walking and walking, and then we ended
Speaker 2: up in a line and we told him that we
Speaker 2: lost our registration, you know, and they signed us up
Speaker 2: and then before we knew it, we were hitting a
Speaker 2: nine iron into the left field. It was the most
Speaker 2: unbelievable experience. I mean, I could not believe it. I
Speaker 2: got to be honest with you. Is it just a
Speaker 2: confidence like a make a wish?
Speaker 4: Is it just like a confidence thing where you act
Speaker 4: like you're supposed to be there, nobody questions you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean it's one of those things where
Speaker 2: if you just you know, you just blend in, you
Speaker 2: you know, act like you're supposed to be there, nobody
Speaker 2: says anything.
Speaker 4: Buddy of mine that used to do morning radio with
Speaker 4: Jim Bullet, and then Jim Bullet went on to tea
Speaker 4: He's got these places and he'd wear like, you know, sunglasses.
Speaker 4: Whatever he would is back into the old huge cell phones.
Speaker 4: He take a huge cell phone, put it to his
Speaker 4: ear and have a clipboard, and he would look pissed
Speaker 4: off and he would just walk past these security gates
Speaker 4: and it worked like nine to ten times.
Speaker 2: Man, Holy cow. Yeah, I've got a buddy brand Tobler.
Speaker 2: He's snuck into a bunch of concerts. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: got some unbelievable stories. And he said that that's the
Speaker 2: key to pretend like you're supposed to be there. Just
Speaker 2: keep your head down.
Speaker 5: Derek straps our guest.
Speaker 4: The new album he's got out, check it out, Eating
Speaker 4: Dinner twice. You got two options to see him. One

Speaker 5: News, ready to wait forty whas Oh this is a
Speaker 5: little dreamer.
Speaker 4: It is indeed baby, then Haylen, I'm Dwight Whittingen. That's
Speaker 4: Dave Jennings. Right here is Sieman Johnny. So now we've
Speaker 4: got round two. Yesterday Masad had like a bunch of
Speaker 4: pagers blowing up right, and yeah, they made these explosive
Speaker 4: pages over over.
Speaker 6: Four thousand people injured, twelve killed.
Speaker 5: Whoa whoa, whoa wha. Yesterday it was twenty eight hundred,
Speaker 5: So that's grown.
Speaker 6: It's grown.
Speaker 7: The latest report on the the ABC News stories I
Speaker 7: was running this morning was four thousand with twelve people killed.
Speaker 5: Wow, okay, but didn't stop there. So now there's no more.
Speaker 6: It is not stopped.
Speaker 7: There's ABC and Fox News both reporting that there are
Speaker 7: handheld radios in walkie talkies, some of them at the
Speaker 7: funerals for the terror for the Hamas terrorists that died
Speaker 7: yesterday that are going that are exploding this morning.
Speaker 3: I can just see.
Speaker 5: I'm due.
Speaker 3: I got great deal, free walkie talkies with pagers.
Speaker 4: So so, so okay, they're gonna be too scared to
Speaker 4: touch any form of technology.
Speaker 5: I'm guessing after today and yesterday.
Speaker 7: At this point they're gonna be They're gonna be reduced
Speaker 7: to and I'm only.
Speaker 6: Slightly joking about this carrier pigeon.
Speaker 7: I mean they went low tech with the flip phones
Speaker 7: and the pagers to try to get around Massads spying
Speaker 7: on their smartphones. Apparently the Masad who the US is confirming.
Speaker 7: There's a US intelligence source confirming to news.
Speaker 3: Why are we doing that? By the way, why are
Speaker 3: we confirming that confirming what? I don't know that Massad's
Speaker 3: behind it.
Speaker 6: Because someone wants to be in the headlines with Masage.
Speaker 4: I think Massads sent out a tweet yesterday saying, hey,
Speaker 4: sorry if we didn't get back to you today, we've
Speaker 4: been busy with our pagers or that's their joke site.
Speaker 6: There's a parody. Okay, I did that, but that was
Speaker 6: that was humorous.
Speaker 7: So it's continuing today and it's really I've seen a
Speaker 7: couple anti terrorism experts, former SF guys that I follow
Speaker 7: on social media saying this is a masterclass on counter terrorist.
Speaker 5: It really, it really is. It's gonna come to the
Speaker 5: point where.
Speaker 7: They're gonna be reduced to communicating by carrier pigeon. And
Speaker 7: you know who else has to be scared right now
Speaker 7: is Hamas This is happening to heblah in Lebanon, and
Speaker 7: one of the people that was wounded yesterday was the
Speaker 7: Iranian ambassador to Lebanon.
Speaker 6: He had many pages that they set up.
Speaker 5: Well, that's kind of telling.
Speaker 7: And Hamas has to be sitting back in the West
Speaker 7: Bank and the Gaza Strip wondering what is going on
Speaker 7: with their devices and probably inspecting everything right shore.
Speaker 5: Those conversations like this going on. Hey, hey, Dave Jennings,
