Welcome to the Tuddling Client Show.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Alvin, yes sir.
Speaker 3:Let's do this. That was so fun last week.
Speaker 2:The last two episodes have been a lot of fun. Are you kidding me? I know.
Speaker 3:We've had a great time the pilot episode that can be seen on the, uh, fuzzy Mike, and then, uh, what we've done now in terms of episode one. I mean, this is a lot of fun, buddy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a blast, and the reception and the feedback has just been overwhelmingly positive, so great.
Speaker 3:I can't. I can't even believe it. Is Houston not the greatest city in the world? It's a favorite city I ever lived in. Literally, they can take three dudes or, excuse me, two dudes who haven't done a radio show together in three years and make them a top 10% podcast in seven days.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, you're not wrong in saying three dudes. I mean, I've never heard any voices in my head.
Speaker 3:dude, it could be it could be 10 dudes. I know, trust me, I know Kevin Klein, but uh, that is just so phenomenal and, um, we got a lot happening that we're going to get into. Um, the response Uh, last episode has been so great that, uh, we're moving forward. We got merchandising available. I mean, uh, go uh like the and follow the Tudlin Klein Facebook page. It's got explicit instructions on how you can get. Well, we have a neat logo. I love the logo.
Speaker 2:Our logo has been around for wow. What's about 20 years is when we constructed that.
Speaker 3:Yeah about 20, 25 years.
Speaker 2:It is really cool and a lot of people have been uh, have been liking it. You know, with the L it just makes, uh, the Tuddle and Klein, we both have an L in there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, somebody uh messaged me and said we should make that L like a radio tower or something like that. I'm like, uh, we're not going back on the radio probably Now hopefully not yeah we're going to, we're going to do this podcast and make this uh you know home base and we're loving the heck out of it. Uh, another big thing that's happened, kev, since uh episode one aired is we're starting to get sponsor interest.
Speaker 2:This is amazing, all of a sudden out of the box. But uh, I got to thinking about it. Timmy, the first sponsor that signed on. I've got some great words of uh, uh, uh. Praise for them.
Speaker 3:Air innovations.
Speaker 2:Yeah, man, you know what Think about this. Okay, you've been with air innovation since what? 2012 or something.
Speaker 3:I've been with them for a good six or seven years. They have supported uh our show. They've supported me personally in the aftermath of uh me leaving radio. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and think about that. That's loyalty right there. Okay, so, and they paid Tim for his advertising purposes. Okay, if they care about somebody that they're paying, think about how they're going to care about you. Who's paying them?
Speaker 3:And that's their big thing, Kev. They've been in business, a family owned business. These are Houstonians that put this thing together in 2005. And their number one thought is taking care of people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can tell.
Speaker 3:I mean, last summer was the hottest summer in the history of Houston and they had people ready 24 hours a day. Because, let's face it, when you have that kind of heat, kevin Klein, people can get hurt or people can die.
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely, and they.
Speaker 3:They had 24 seven and just think about these, uh, and they'll never be any folk songs written about them. You know they'll never be any parades for them. But just think about these technicians. It's 110 degrees outside. Look at the places they have to crawl in and look at the stuff coming out of the places they have to crawl in, you know, like snakes and spiders and everything like that, in unbelievable sauna, like heat. But they did it with a smile on their face to get Houstonians up again. And I love that about air innovations 24 seven and always given a great deal.
Speaker 2:You know, I don't think it's going to be as hot this year in Houston, and so the air innovations technicians probably won't have it as difficult. Reason I say that is because wasn't Sheila running for mayor last year and she was talking a lot? Right, it's a lot of hot air.
Speaker 3:That could have been it. There could have been something like that. Uh, you know, I guess. Fortunately for a lot of people, she did not win.
Speaker 2:No, I couldn't believe that.
Speaker 3:I thought for sure she would you know she's got to run right now. She may not be able to recapture her house of representatives gig. Is that right? Yeah, it's neck and neck right now. So you know, she's struggling for her political life and she's got to be thinking oh my God, I got to keep this train going. What do I got to do? But anyway, kev. Air innovations phenomenal people family operation available 24 seven in case you have an emergency, and you can call them right now 281-830-2412. 281-830-2412 air innovations.
Speaker 2:And if you're watching this on YouTube, you can see their logo in the bottom right corner bottom left corner.
Speaker 3:I love it and you know we've had some other people inquiring about sponsorship. If you uh, you know want to know anything about uh, you know information about rates and what we're doing and everything like that, just message us or comment on any of our social media and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Now, what did, what did you notice about the mics last week? Kevin Klein is the king of observations and you know, when you get some kind of Rorschach ink thing happening in your head, I cannot wait to hear this.
Speaker 2:Well, I was thinking about the uh, the Rocco Soprini uh comment that you made last week and while I was editing these I was looking at the microphones and it totally makes sense that you're the one with kids in this. Uh, in this partnership I don't have any kids. Um, you're very up to date with your microphone. It looks kind of like you know 2000 and plus playboy. I look like I'm going back into the eighties with mine, seventies and eighties with my microphone.
Speaker 3:I you know, kev. Yours has personality, though.
Speaker 2:It does have personality, but holy cow man Looks like it needs a trim.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yours. Yours looks like uh, I don't know shafts afro.
Speaker 2:Well, it's supposed to look like Don King's hair. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, it's. That's what I thought of it when. When I saw it, I'm like, oh, don King's hair.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, I like it and you know I may have to get something neat. I look at your background and everything like that. I mean you have that whole studio thing happening. You know I'm I'm the guy in the uh in the apartment, uh, you know piping it out. Do you know who built this studio?
Speaker 2:Who. You're looking at him.
Speaker 3:You built your own studio.
Speaker 2:My brother-in-law and I, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:I love it. It's great.
Speaker 2:We took this out of the studs.
Speaker 3:Is it real? I mean cause I initially I thought you were just using some of that, you know CGI graphics type stuff that is like everything is built there. That's a door.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And that's. That's the sound cancellation phone and all of that stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the door goes to the uh supply closet, so I've got all my extra supplies back there. You know like, um, oh, you know what I bought for us. What'd you buy If if I can never figure out how to use it I bought an instant replay 360. Get out of here. I did, man. I know how much you loved playing with that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Kevin Klein, um, for for 25 years was our edit guy and he just loved getting his hands on raw audio, so he can just make it absolutely perfect and I can't believe. So you're investing now.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay, listen, it is very and more important than ever, because Kevin Klein, when he invests money, um, we need to do something to capture the funds. So, sponsorship, if you want us to sponsor, it will take care of you. Go get some merchandise. Right now we have, I think, the coolest logo in all of podcasting. I really do. So go buy some merch so we can help Kevin Klein recover some of his funds that he's outlaying.
Speaker 2:It's no big deal. It's all for the benefit of our listeners, it's all for the benefit of my mentality and my, my, my sanity.
Speaker 3:Yes, this is a giant 90 minute therapy session once a week so we can keep Kevin Klein off of ledges. We don't want him to jump. Speaking of which, kevin, this is so timely. I have a, a friend of mine, a buddy of mine, um he um found out his wife was was cheating on him. No, yeah.
Speaker 2:Can't imagine.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was one of those situations where he walked in oh he's a, he travels a lot, um, he's all over the place and he got in early and it was a Valentine's type thing. He wanted to surprise her, so he had a massive bouquet and everything like that and he was so excited and he walked in on Valentine's day and his wife was doing him wrong.
Speaker 2:Mom, that's not a surprise, you want.
Speaker 3:And her guest was doing other things.
Speaker 2:I bet.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so he is. I literally had to talk him off the edge off the ledge, you know. I can imagine I, you know he's, he's in love, and not only that, they have a little boy together and and now he's, he's out, you know that kind of thing, cause he travels all the time, so she'll get custody of the boy and you know he'll get visitation and everything like that. But because you know, so everything completely went upside down on him. I just I felt so, so bad for him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, how can you feel good for anybody that has to go through that kind of situation? But he's come to the right place.
Speaker 3:Well, I, I, you know what I I like to turn things around, you know, especially since I've been meditating and looking at life in different ways. And I told him, I said hey, look, everything is going to be okay. You're, you're in a, you're in a bad dark area right now, and I've been there myself, buddy, and there are ways of turning this around. And I told him, I said you know, for example, let's talk about your bucket list. You know what are the things that you have wanted to do all your life and you really never had the opportunity to do it. And he said, he said skydiving, oh cool. And I said well, I'm, I'm going to take you, because I've gone skydiving three times, kev, you were there for one of them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you landed it perfectly.
Speaker 3:And that is one of the greatest releases. I mean, you go up 10,500, 11,000 feet, you jump down tandem, you're with somebody who's a professional, so you don't have to think about anything or worrying about or worry about anything. You do a 60 second free fall and you're doing like 120 miles an hour and you actually feel weightless and it's just the most to me. I wasn't alive until the first time I skydived. That was the first time I was alive. I was born.
Speaker 2:I've heard you say that numerous times.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so to speak. And, by the way, I'm so happy that the tandem, that the professional, is hooked to you, because I was going through such euphoria I would have forgot to pull the shoot.
Speaker 2:I think that's why they do it. Your first time always has to be tandem, because you would forget.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, and now and now, kev, since then they've had transponders put in that automatically fire the shoot at I don't know what it is 1500 feet or something like that.
Speaker 2:They automatically fire it. Oh no kidding oh that's cool.
Speaker 3:Okay, so it's a nice measure. There are really authorities, are really against you, splatting in unknown places. That could get bad. I mean you could. The powers that be don't want you like flying through the roof of one of their eyes wide shut party. Yeah. Of course, and so they've made that a rule that they want the transponders in there.
Speaker 2:So are you going to take him to skydive baseline?
Speaker 3:Well, little he got. You know, I talked to him off the ledge and now he's like well, I have everything to live for my son and everything like that and I'm going to put this behind. As a matter of fact, tim, you know there's this very attractive lady, now that you know she's found, she found out what happened, and she's, you know, kind of looking and everything like that. And he says now he's a little bit worried about skydiving. You know he's like now I don't want to die, I don't want anything to happen. And I told him, I said look, I said the stats are clear. Yeah, you have much more of a chance of being struck by lightning than than, you know, having anything happen negatively when you're skydiving. And you know what he said to me.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:When I was 17, I was struck by lightning.
Speaker 2:Oh well, maybe what did you forego, that skydive of that jump?
Speaker 3:And I just thought about it. It's like. It's like because they use that, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning. You know to negate any like negative activity or whatever. What do you say to these people who've actually been struck by lightning? They're like, they're going to kill me. This thing's definitely going to kill me. I've been struck by lightning, yeah.
Speaker 2:There is really no. You have a better chance to win in the lottery, yeah.
Speaker 3:And then I got to thinking further on it. Kevin, I'm just thinking to myself, you know, because I had to talk him down from the ledge and you know the lightning strike. You're thinking, yeah gosh, it's God here, yelling like God.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I can't. I can't kill him, I can't bring in the experts bringing the experts. The women know how to do it.
Speaker 2:Hey, you said something in that conversation that I'm kind of curious about, and I'm sure there are people out there going through that similar situation. How long does it take to get over that? Do you ever? Do you ever?
Speaker 3:It depends on your feelings for the person.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:It's happened to me twice where they've left me or they've split with me. One of them. I was like yeah, I saw that coming. I had readied myself. I was getting signals that was coming. Now the exact what happened and the details, like that, that was total bullshit. That's another story for another time. The second one that hurts man. I mean, I'm still not over that one.
Speaker 2:Oh, really Okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, amazing beautiful woman fits me absolutely perfect. We always have great conversation and good laughs. The physical aspect of it there's no quote unquote, freak gap. We both are in sync. In regards to that, I think it just depends. I don't know, in all honesty, if I'll ever be totally over that one, because that was the one where it was like, okay, this person was probably put here for me, but I am just so screwed up, I'm so annoying after a certain period of time that they don't have to put up with it.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying I get that, I get that, but I mean, if you're compatible, I think you can overlook that.
Speaker 3:Kev. Here's the deal. And you know, you know my issues. You know I've been actually diagnosed with adult autism level one. Really, yeah, Okay, oh, who didn't see that coming? I mean, you know I'm growing. When I grow up I used to play by myself. I had a huge family, brothers and sisters, but I would play by myself. I would throw the tennis ball against the wall and catch it and simulate baseball games in my head and everything like that, or I'd be out in the backyard playing basketball, you know so.
Speaker 3:I was alone a lot. I enjoyed being alone a lot. I couldn't even look people in the eyes. I was so socially awkward. Until adulthood I never looked people in the eyes.
Speaker 2:Oh well, this is good information to know. I always thought you just hated hanging out with me. But no hanging out with everybody.
Speaker 3:And so you know, and here I have you, a lifelong friend. You know we've been friends for 28 years going on now, and you know my brother, Todd, is a great, the greatest guy ever.
Speaker 2:He's amazing.
Speaker 3:And yet I only have intermittent contact with you guys. You know hit and run contact with you and I hate that about myself, but there's something going that goes on in there that makes that happen.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm the worst. I'm the worst at communication, though. I mean I move out of sight, out of mind, see, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, I see, and that's the thing. And, and, kev, you know my origin story too. I mean, I'm I'm so shy and and and everything like that, plus you add the fact that I went to three different high schools and was moving around a lot. You know, I basically, in order to get over it, developed a character to make me, you know, socially acceptable in high school. Yeah, and that care that character is, you know. Han Solo, uh huh.
Speaker 3:You know the moment he said to a Prince, Princess Leia, after she says I love you, han, he goes. I know, and I I heard the laughter in the theater. I was like that's who I want to be.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. And then a little bit of Bert Reynolds smoke in the band, that that you mix those together and that's who I became a character and in all honesty, that character was so good that that character became a radio personality and has given me a fantastic career.
Speaker 2:Well, you know. Think about it, though. If you didn't go to three different schools growing up in high school, I bet you that's probably where your comedic chops started, because you could either go up and curl up into a ball, or you could try to make people laugh, to ingratiate yourself and make friends quicker.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that, because I had an accounting teacher in high school and he saw and I just moved there and I'm new and I'm awkward and I'm goofy and he saw that for half of the semester the first semester I got there and he was pretty strict. Mr Mr Blackwell, he was pretty strict and he I cracked a joke one time in his class, which not a lot of people do, because he's, he's, you know, he's an accounting teacher, for God's sake. Yeah.
Speaker 3:And it got a huge laugh. And he looks at me, he goes, he goes. Mr Tuttle, can I see you after the class please? And everybody in the classroom go, oh, oh, you know what Mr Mr Blackwell said to me after the class. He said you know, this is a tough school and I noticed that you're new and you're struggling a little bit. He said I usually don't like this and as long as you keep it on control, go ahead and you have a great sense of humor. Go ahead and joke a little bit and that'll help ingratiate you to your fellow students. Yeah, and I loved him forever for that. Like he let me, he let me work on material as a 16 year old in his classroom.
Speaker 3:And the next thing, you know, you know I've grown now. I'm six one and I'm muscular. I feathered my hair back from the bull haircut. I'm cracking jokes and now girls are looking at me. I'm like now I know what to say to just make them laugh. Yeah, yeah, make. Unfortunately for me, I some of my issues are is I'm quote, unquote never serious, it's always joking and that's caused a problem. I mean, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. With the beautiful women that I've been with. I mean they don't have to put up with anything if they I mean they they can find any dude that they play next, exactly, clean X, exactly, you know the, the one that I'm talking about. That I was talking about where it still stings. I mean, while I'm with her, david Charvet from Baywatch, you know tries to hit her up on FaceTime.
Speaker 3:She's got major league baseball players DM in her, pga tour players DM in her. You know she doesn't have to put up with with. You know socially awkward, weird dude who can't shut it off and is never serious, ever. Well it's exhausting, are you? Do you still talk?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we're fine. So if that's the one, how can you deal with that?
Speaker 3:There are more extenuating circumstances. Okay it's, it's just it's. It's the wrong time. It was a wrong time, wrong place, wrong situation and she, she deserves the optimal situation.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you want the best for somebody.
Speaker 3:Exactly. Oh see, that's the difference. That's the difference when you really and I've never been that guy you know me a little bit of a selfish guy. Me, me, me, me, me. That's that's how I know that I really like care about this person, is like okay, it hurts, it's like it feels like I'm being savagely wounded, but this is the best for you and that's part of that.
Speaker 3:Man well, that's part of the meditation to you know, something I've come up with is is you know, with, with, with any such, I never under. I now I do not understand the angst towards the x thing. I don't get it. I mean, sometimes it's just not meant to happen. And if one person is not happy, you don't want them staying in the relationship. If you don't make them happy, you want them to go find their happiness.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So in all of my relationships, I choose to remember the things about them that I really liked, that that made made me attracted to them, and I and I choose to remember the good times and fun times we had, instead of having any angst towards them whatsoever, because bottom line is is either they didn't make me happy and I had to flush it, or hey, I didn't do it for them and they deserve it. That's what happens when you start going into meditation and really thinking. You know, four dimensional chess is you're more understanding and, plus, it gives you a chance to grow as a person. It's like, okay, what happened in that relationship? What can I work on? How can I be better? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I know exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so the next situation that I have, I mean, they're going to get the best version of me that has ever been out there, because you know, I know now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're learning as you go. I mean, life is a learning process that the entire, from the day you're born until the day they put you in the ground or throw your ashes somewhere. You're constantly learning if you're open to it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean. So you know now if I have a time machine Cav yeah yes, I still do cruise back to November 22nd 1963, go to the grassy knoll and I put a bullet in the actual shooter's head that that killed Kennedy. Okay because, because everything changed after that for the worst in this country. It's never been the same. That's the number one thing, the number two thing I go talk to 17 year old me and say what. I have a long it's a long conversation.
Speaker 2:Well, we've got time.
Speaker 3:I would just basically say hey, man, you've got a lot coming for you. You know you have a, you have a very, you have some success coming. You have great opportunities coming. I know you have a weakness for pretty ladies. This is how you should handle it, though. You know this is what you should do. I would just step by step.
Speaker 2:Isn't it crazy how experienced is such a teacher?
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know. The unfortunate thing is I was such a rebel at 17,. You know, at 17 year old me would say back. F you fuck you, old man. Get in your little portal and head back to 2024. I'm gonna do it my way.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna do it my way until you get to that age where you're like man, I could go back and talk to 17 year old now, because, I know it, you brought something up in there that leads me to the top three that I had for you this week.
Speaker 3:Oh wow, we sort of thematic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, it's. It's based on last week, where we built our Mount Rushmore of comedians. Okay, yes, well, this week and you brought it up already, I want to. I want to talk about the top three presidents who aren't on Mount Rushmore. Obviously obviously JFK, you just mentioned it.
Speaker 3:Okay, this is easy for me.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 3:Number three I would probably have Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:Why Well, the great hair he's got?
Speaker 2:some great hair.
Speaker 3:And that would just look so cool and rock. You know, actually he was awesome, he was a good, he was a good president. I mean, we were feeling like garbage as a country. We were down, you know, the oil crisis, the, the Iranian hostage crisis, which I'm. I think it's hilarious because the day he was going to be inaugurated I think it's the exact day or somewhere around there Iran said oh, this is totally cool, we're gonna let you have him, because you know why? Because Ronnie Reagan was going to go bury them. Yeah, if they didn't give us our hostages back. So, you know, I got to go run on Reagan.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:And then he's he's a Republican and I mix it up. I mean JFK man, yeah, is number two to me. Jfk didn't want the Vietnam War and that's what got him killed. Federal Reserve is evil. He wanted to shut that down. That got him killed. He wanted to take the power away from the CIA, actually fired Alan Dolis and now look at all the crap the CIA does to us in our name, you know. And he won the FBI, same thing, all that reform, you know he wanted to get back to the true Republic that we could be and you know the equality and everything like that. I JFK that that that is a very brave man. Okay.
Speaker 3:So number one, donald Trump, really Dude. Just look. Forget about the mean tweets, forget about yeah, he's rough around the edges. Yeah, probably not going to invite him to the Thanksgiving family meal, but performance wise he is the highest performing president we have ever had. Just look at it from raw statistics. What he did we got us completely off of other countries Energy, other countries energy. We were so taking care of ourselves. We were no longer energy reliant. They had the economy just popping and going crazy, taking regulations, stupid regulations, away. And he's putting the evil forces who have very evil and nefarious intent for us in their place, and that's why he gets so much resistance. So I don't know To me when the most evil entities, individuals and organizations on planet Earth hate you, make up lies about you and want to take you down in any way that they can. I like you.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's mine. Yeah, mine only differs in one. I mean, I've got Reagan. Reagan was the first leader to ever inspire me to want to do something to better humanity. Right, you know, I mean he was a motivator man. What a great speaker I he, he was. You know, I didn't really know much about policy back then because I really didn't care, but, man, he inspired me. He did Frank, j, j, f, k, and then, yeah, fdr.
Speaker 3:You got FDR on there I do.
Speaker 2:I mean, you know, if you stop World War two.
Speaker 3:Well, actually technically Truman did that.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, but I mean he sat down with Stalin and in Churchill.
Speaker 3:No, he basically FDR did the right thing. He let his generals do what they need to do, and you know they put together the Normandy D day plan and everything like that, and you know he let generals be generals and he's like you know we're, we don't care about rules. I mean, we got an evil SOB sitting there in Berlin and this thing's got to be stopped immediately.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that would be my list. So we only differ by one, so that's pretty, that's pretty good.
Speaker 3:That's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. Not bad at all. By the way, we want to hear what yours are, or if you take issue with anything we said. We don't, we're fine. Yeah, we love to have feedback. Good, bad, ugly. Go ahead and comment on our social media. Hey, you forgot.
Speaker 2:Woodrow Wilson was phenomenal, you know yeah, yeah, for sure, you know, speaking of being able to take it, I was insulted yesterday by a client that I'm working with and yeah, I just I brushed it off you what. I was insulted by a client who insulted you.
Speaker 2:So I was some guy. So I'm, I'm, I'm narrating some medical stuff, and it's always professional when you don't know a term. You asked the client to phonetically spell that out. So I asked and I said you know, I'm having difficulty with these words. I want to get it right the first time. I don't want to have to recut this. Can you give me the phonetic pronunciations? You know what his reply was what Are you fluent in English?
Speaker 3:Oh, hold on. What is the word Kevin so curious?
Speaker 2:Oh, there's numerous words, the F, l, e, a, v, a. How would you pronounce that? It's a drug? L E, a, v, a, a, v A, slava. Yeah, that's why you asked, because that's not it, it's FLEVA, fleva. I asked, and so he writes it F, l, e, e, hyphen A, hyphen, va. I'm like that doesn't tell me much of anything. Where's the inflection, where's the emphasis? Is it FLEVA or is it FLEVA, you know? And he says well, I thought you were fluent in English. And then he writes back. He goes oh, I looked at your video, yeah, you are. So I message him back and I explain to him and then, at the very end, I'm like and you're a dick.
Speaker 3:Did you say that? Yeah, you said you're a dick. Yeah, you said that, yeah, kevin.
Speaker 2:Klein, yeah, I messaged him back and I said I'm just trying to get this right. I am very fluent in English. It's my native language. I don't appreciate your attempted humor. You're the only one laughing. I don't find it funny. Give me these pronunciations. I'll get this done for you as quickly as possible, because you're a dick and I don't want to work with you.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, that's unbelievable. Kev, that is first off. That's somebody that I don't even know. That Kevin Klein.
Speaker 2:Well it's highly unprofessional, but so was he.
Speaker 3:Yes, can he give you a bad rating now and kind of mess you up?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, he can, but he's getting one too.
Speaker 3:Okay, let me just throw this out here really quick. It is more important than ever that you tell everybody about the Tuttle and Klein podcast and by our merchandise, kevin Klein is going guns-ablazing now.
Speaker 2:Now you know what it is, tim, and it kind of goes back to what you said the very first time we got back together, three weeks ago. As you get older, you give a shit less.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:You know, yes, you just do, I don't got time for insults.
Speaker 3:I don't care anymore, I just don't. You have your opinion, I have my opinion. It's not going to change who I think I am. I know who I am. When you get to be our age, you know who you are. Yeah, the other people can't define you or try to define you. You are who you are.
Speaker 2:Let me go back to what I just said. I don't I don't got time for insults, but I'm the one that said you're a dick. So I do got time for insults.
Speaker 3:That's kind of funny, though, because if he was joking, some of me is like hey, Kev, why don't you laugh with him?
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I do laugh with him. He actually messaged me back and he said I apologize for the insult. I actually thought after I sent it it was insulting and that's why I kind of made the joke, because I wanted to kind of ease the edges.
Speaker 3:Okay, sounds like you two are on a path of recovery.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I'm going to get done with this today, and then I'm going to be done with him and give him a shitty rating.
Speaker 3:Okay, you don't do that Kevin does voiceover work for those of you unaware, he does voiceover.
Speaker 2:He does voiceover for somebody in Houston after they heard that story.
Speaker 3:Well, Kev, you know, there's some people, there's some clients that would respect your candor. Yeah. And it would be okay with it. Okay, hey, I'm curious about this. You said, hey, tim, remind me to bring up something going on on how inflation is affecting homeless people. What are you seeing out there?
Speaker 2:So we pulled off the highway three or four days ago and there was a panhandler with a sign that said need 99 cents for a cheeseburger. Where the hell are you getting a cheeseburger these days for 99 cents? Dude needs to up his sign, Right, Right.
Speaker 3:Can you go?
Speaker 2:anywhere and get a 99 cent hamburger? I don't think you can Exactly.
Speaker 3:I think they're a minimum of two bucks now. Even the cheap McDonald's like hamburger, cheeseburger, you know, the single skinny little patty with buns and mustard and ketchup and onions on it and you can throw some cheese and pay an extra dime or something. I think those are about two bucks now.
Speaker 2:Exactly. So see, inflation is just killing the panhandling business. Well, maybe, Kev.
Speaker 3:just maybe that's the sign he's had since 1995. Exactly, he can't afford to get a new sign because of the punch.
Speaker 2:Exactly so I would have put. Need 99 cents for new cardboard.
Speaker 3:Oh, feeling it, you got it, feeling it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because then he can up the price.
Speaker 3:Did you give him any money?
Speaker 2:Oh no, he was in the opposite side of the freeway.
Speaker 3:Gotcha.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I used to give money all the. I don't give money anymore.
Speaker 2:Okay, you give advice.
Speaker 3:But you're full of advice. They're probably looking and going. You're driving by yourself Listening to Pantera. I don't think I'm going to take your advice. To be honest with you, that's funny, I don't. I just I used to give all the time I used to like, especially when we started to do well and, you know, make money. You know, when we started Kev, we, you know we didn't make anything, we made shit 50 an hour.
Speaker 2:That's right, we're in government housing.
Speaker 3:We lived in, exactly, we lived in government housing. This was the year 2000,. Even the early 2001. Yep, and Audrey was on the way, my little girl, audrey, was on the way and I can remember specifically, you know, her mom saying, yeah, tim, this nothing, 50 an hour in government housing, it's getting a little. You know, we got to buy a crib, we got to do this and then, right then, the Birmingham thing came like two days later. Yeah.
Speaker 3:It's like. It's like God, you know, see what's going on. It's like, okay, well, let's, let's help him out a little bit. But yeah, I don't, I don't give, because the one time I gave the guy, I gave the guy 10 bucks and about an hour and a half two hours later I'm driving back in that area, going the other way, and he's walking with a case of Bud Light under his arm and I'm just like I kid that was bad, that's bad.
Speaker 2:You know, when I was when I was living in Rice Military and I would go run over Memorial Park, right on the 610 feeder road and Memorial I don't know if he's still there, but the original Spider-Man would sit there and I would always wave to him. I'd be like hey, spider-man. And he waved back. And one day I just got sick of doing that and so I changed my route. I went over and I said, hey, spider-man, I'm always saying hey Spider-Man, waving, and you're always waving back. I'm like tell me your story. And he's like well, yeah, awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm like hold on hold on.
Speaker 3:Did he go? Well, I was bit by a spider.
Speaker 2:No, he did not. No, he said he was raised by his parents and they both died in a car crash and he had no discernible skills and so he just became homeless and became a guy that asked for money on the street corner and he said you don't have to call me Spider-Man anymore. He goes, but I am the original Spider-Man. There's another guy that thinks he's Spider-Man, but I'm the original one. He said you can call me Larry and I said well, larry. I said I'm going to make a deal. I'm going to make a deal with you. My name's Kevin, and every time I run by and I go hey, spider-man, if you say I said, because I'm doing this, because I can tell you're a prideful man. I said you know who was showing me his, his license, that he, he's the only one that could sit at that corner because he pays $20 a month to have a city license to panhandle that corner.
Speaker 3:Really, is that a? Thing?
Speaker 2:That's a thing. He showed me it and I said Larry, I can tell you're a prideful man and if circumstances were different you probably wouldn't be here. So I'm going to make a deal with you. When I run by and I say hey Spider-Man or hey Larry, if you say hey Kevin, I'm going to give you five bucks every time, every time. And it did it. It, yeah, every time, that's awesome yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I got his story. I'm like so he's diabetic. I said you got any kids? He goes oh, I'm missing. Kevin ain't got no. Kids Fucked a lot of women ain't got no kids. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I should have bought his book, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure. So, but no, that was the deal we made.
Speaker 3:See, here's the thing that I would do, though. See, if I, if he tells me, hey, don't go to the other Spider-Man, I'm the original Spider-Man. The next time I came by and I rolled down my window and I'd be like, hey, I just gave some money to you, no.
Speaker 2:No, he can't do that, spark the Spider-Man Wars?
Speaker 3:Yeah, of course. Wait, hold on, kev. Did you just go sensitive on me with this guy? Yeah, I think you like him.
Speaker 2:I do like him, larry and I would. We would hug after, we would talk, we would hug and I'd be off the day before Thanksgiving. I asked him, I said how you spending Thanksgiving? He goes oh, mr Kevin, this is the best day of the year for me. He goes.
Speaker 2:I wake up and I go to the, to the shelter, and I get my, I get my turkey and gravy and then later on in the afternoon I go to the church for dinner and they give me the ham and the turkey and stuff. I'm like well, what are you eating tonight? And he said well, I got $15. He goes if I get five more dollars I could have dinner and stay in a hotel room. He said but right now I'm just, I'm just trying to get the hotel room. I said tell you what, what do you want to eat? And he goes oh, let me some fried chicken. So we went over to Randall's right there on San Felipe and got him a whole fried chicken. We got him some mashed potatoes and gravy. We got him a water and brought it back to him. By the time we went through the underpass and came back around, it was gone, dude, it was gone. He was mowing that thing down.
Speaker 3:Hey, can I ask you a question? Yeah, Just by chance is Larry an older black gentleman.
Speaker 2:Larry is an older black gentleman. Yes, sir, yes.
Speaker 3:You know, you know, because that's your older black gentleman voice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I would do that for Larry. Yeah, and he would laugh. I'm like you got such a distinct voice and a distinct delivery. I'm like can I try and impress and impersonate you? And he goes oh, mr Kevin, that would be funny.
Speaker 3:Kevin, the reason why I me I would call him John Rogers. Yeah, you wouldn't get that one. That's the same voice Kevin gives John Rogers. When Kevin and I were in Birmingham and you'll hear it, I think I even said it at the top of this show I said Calvin. Yeah, and I would tell it the reason why we do this is about 20 years ago we were doing a morning show in Birmingham, alabama, and there was a a congressman. Was he a congressman or was he local?
Speaker 2:No, no, he was congressman.
Speaker 3:Okay, his name was John Rogers. He's a older black gentleman and he was running for reelection and I guess things were tighter for him than they've ever ever been he's, you know, he was a lifelong congressman and never had any problems whatsoever. But I guess things were getting tight for him because his people told him, quote unquote hey, you got to go on this uh Tuttle and Klein show. Even the brothers and sisters love this show and are listening to them. You know we need all the votes we can get John. So you know what they armed John Rogers with was a little note with our names on it. You know he didn't listen. He didn't know who we were.
Speaker 3:So he would, he would look over and I would ask him a question and he'd go that's, that's a good question.
Speaker 2:It was.
Speaker 3:And then Kevin would ask a question. Like they, he go Calvin. I like how you're thinking right there, and I think the same way for the good people of Birmingham Alabama. So Kevin and I just got a kick out of that. The whole time he's calling us Calvin and Tutley and we're not going to stop him.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:And then we were doing a rock show, so we were dicks and B. It was just so fun because our producer and the knuckleheads in the other room were just laughing their asses off. So we're not going to stop that.
Speaker 2:But what was really funny was uh, we got him to open up. He was very candid with us after a while and he was uh proposing a higher taxes. And you said to him do you remember this?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I said, man, I said I said, uh, uh, representative Rogers, everything you're talking about very, very expensive. Uh, obviously, uh, obviously you won't kind of need to raise taxes on that. And I'm just when does it ever stop? I mean, you would probably want all of our money, every single penny, and then do with it what you want. Uh, if you could get it right. Yep, yep. And what did he say? What?
Speaker 3:did he say he goes, he goes Tutley, that's probably a good idea. I would make sure everybody's taking care of her, but you know, most folks don't know what to do with all their money and they wasted and do so. Yeah, yeah I. 100% tax rate. That would probably be a good thing.
Speaker 2:Did not deny that.
Speaker 3:I was like okay, here we go. Here we go, here we go, if they, if you give them a chance, they'll take it all.
Speaker 2:So but it was uh. He ended up becoming a pretty decent friend of the show he would. He would come on often.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, and eventually he got our names, because I think somebody probably told him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but we still talking about it to this day.
Speaker 3:After about the third or fourth time, turtle Klein, you can tell he was like practicing in the green room before going in Turtle Klein. Love that guy, john Rogers. What happened to him, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I'd be surprised if he's still around.
Speaker 3:Did they ever get the dome? Uh, he got a little bit of dome.
Speaker 2:They didn't get the dome he ran on that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, birmingham never got the dome.
Speaker 2:No, never did. No, he wanted to build a dome. Because he wanted to build a dome so it would attract a major professional sports team, and that's what he ran on Right. I will. You might have been a dome.
Speaker 3:Right, uh, hey, kev, I got to tell you this. Um, for those of you unaware, kevin Klein is a massive long distance runner.
Speaker 2:You still doing that, you still, how much do you do? I just ran 13 yesterday. So yeah, I'm. When I'm in peak I'm running between 70 and 120 miles a week, so figure, 90 a week.
Speaker 3:Right, yeah, dang man, that's crazy dude. I mean I'll do. I'll do three mile, uh, fast walk cardio, uh, probably about four times a week, and then three times a week after I lift I'll do a two mile cardio. But you're off the charts, man.
Speaker 2:Uh, just, it would be a great uh endeavor for an adult uh with level one, all uh autism, because you're by yourself three to four hours a day.
Speaker 3:Well, kev I'm, I'm by myself A lot more than that, buddy.
Speaker 2:At least you could laugh about it.
Speaker 3:Oh man, you know what you have to. I'm actually enjoying it. All of my adult life has been one relationship to another, to another, to another. No pause, no break.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 3:And I'm actually, for the first time ever, in a chill mode. For now it's been like, well, I don't know, seven, eight months or something like that. I mean, I still, you know, I still you visit, yeah, like I get it, kev, you know my current situation.
Speaker 2:I do.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's a great situation? I'm sure it is, it is. It is a wonderful situation.
Speaker 2:Now the confidence you must have.
Speaker 3:It's. You know I have I, that's. That's the one thing you know. I've always been able to, when the chips are down, rise to the occasion. Anyway, back to running. I told you this that Audrey, my daughter, is a little bit of a runner too. She did her second half marathon yesterday at Walt Disney.
Speaker 2:That's an amazing race. That is, if you want to just see what an A list race is, try and get into Disney because you start. The worst thing about Disney is the start time that's four in the morning, because they closed the park down. They literally closed the park down for the marathon and half marathon.
Speaker 3:Are you kidding?
Speaker 2:I'm not kidding at all.
Speaker 3:Are they making enough off of the entry fees for that to be viable? Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, geez, I think when I ran it in 2010, 2009, it was 250 bucks. Then Are you serious For the full marathon, for the full marathon?
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, audrey's got a job now, so you're not paying for that. No, she does well yeah. Yeah, but no, they closed the entire park down and every mile you can stop and get your picture taken with a Disney character, because they're all out there.
Speaker 3:Why would you?
Speaker 2:stop, aren't you going for a time? Well, not, really Not at that one, because it is such an event and it's so unique. The surface is perfect to run on. It's a little softer than concrete, a little softer than asphalt, but the start is amazing because they have a whole fireworks display at the start. It's a really cool race. So I was really happy to find out that she was running that one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, and she enjoys it, hangs out with her friends and everything like that. But it's so funny it was like just a couple hours actually the day before, maybe about 12 hours before actual race time she texts the group text her mom and me and Jonas and her boyfriend, and then her stepdadder on and says I'm thinking of getting a tattoo on my ankle. Oh Well, she already has a small one, which is no problem, but now she's taking that Accutane. What is that? Accutane is for blemishes and everything like that, and it is a crazy substance because there's so much crap that you can't do when you're on Accutane. I mean you've heard all those commercials. I mean it's the worst, probably commercial ever.
Speaker 3:Well, rectal bleeding, projectile, leprosy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know everything, like don't get pregnant, your child will be a mutant, you know all that stuff. And she's saying you know, hey, I'm on the Accutane, can I get the tattoo? My doctor says no and we're like okay, the stuff for a second here. So you're bypassing the guy who went to school for eight years at an internship, his advice, and you want to go to a family who has no background whatsoever. And you know I don't know whether she did or not. I don't think she did, because I think her mom and I talked her out of it, but I was just thinking for all the stuff that could go wrong. I mean, and I even told her this, I said it sounds like, from all the disclaimers and your doctor and everything like that, it sounds like getting a tattoo on Accutane sounds like an origin story for a Marvel villain.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, what was your name, that villain I'm?
Speaker 3:glad you asked, because I've written the outline already. Sweet, I'm going to send this to Marvel, the new Marvel villain Accutainted.
Speaker 2:Accutainted, and what would that Accutainted look like?
Speaker 3:Oh, I'm glad you asked that it would be a young lady, very muscular blonde, probably like Audrey. She could play the role. But anyway, she does a marathon and leaves the Kenyans in dust. Then, after finishing 26.2 miles in 12 minutes, she takes 12 minutes. She takes Mickey Minnie, donald Goofy and Pluto hostage.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh, oh, so she's a villain, yeah.
Speaker 3:She's a Marvel villain. You think Accutane and a tattoo is going to make you a good person?
Speaker 2:No, that's true, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she's a villain. So she takes them hostage and she demands that the Department of Defense uses its newly developed time machine to go back in time and allow Thanos to live. Thanos, yeah, yeah. She threatens to cut off Mickey or Minnie's ear one of their ears every hour until Thanos shows up at Disney World, so they can begin their reign of terror.
Speaker 2:So they basically just have to last four hours. She's going to cut off Mickey and Minnie's ear one and one and hour.
Speaker 3:Well, the Department of Defense has a hyper turbo. Oh, they do Okay Time machine, it goes, it goes really fast, it goes really fast. Anyway, while the hostage situation is, in fact, she causes dissension among the Disney friends. She actually asked Pluto how he can accept being Mickey's pet dog when Goofy's also a dog that gets to hang out and go places with Mickey True that Anyway.
Speaker 2:You have a lot of thinking time, don't you, buddy?
Speaker 3:Anyway, there's, there's. There's a little mock-up outline for you people at Marvel. If you, if you go ahead and green light that thing, you can buy that. I just need a million, five million, five, a million, five, that's it.
Speaker 2:That's nothing for them. I know, yeah, a million five Don't you want don't you want any back end, don't you want any residuals from the sequel.
Speaker 3:Kev, what I do with groupies is completely separate to this entire situation. Okay, why? Do you have to bring that up.
Speaker 2:Hey, you know you said something in that when you were talking about Accutane. Next time you're watching TV and a medical, a medicine commercial, comes on, count how many times. Count how many times you hear could result in death, and count how many times you hear could result in anal leakage.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that's right they do not.
Speaker 2:I found this out from a drug, the husband of somebody who makes drugs. They have to submit all these drugs for name approval for what possible side effects they can do. They literally shutter when these FDA people come back and say, yeah, anal leakage, it causes that, and they're like, can you just not put that in there? Can you put that? Is that like so minor that we can overlook that?
Speaker 3:You know, in all honesty, because they own our politicians and they own the media too. I mean, look at every commercial.
Speaker 2:Oh jeez, it's constant.
Speaker 3:Basically, you watch a TV program and that's just something that interrupts a prescription drug commercial. That's what it is. I mean, content is literally made today just so they can push drugs on us and they have immunity from civil suits. I mean they have all of it. So I'm surprised that stuff is even there but most people don't read because look how fast they do it. It causes anal leakage, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:But they don't. And you're like, what Rarely will you hear that?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's like what did he just say right there? Because I have that problem. I, you know I could use something like that, but what? Let me try to read. Slow it down. No, because it's either legios.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no Death. But it's crazy that the drug manufacturers don't care that it might cause death. They'll put that in there, but the other side no we don't want to hear that they don't want the anal leakage. No, because people won't buy it then, yeah, they'll take their chances with their own life, but they won't with their butt.
Speaker 3:You know I'm cool with the dirt nap. Yeah, Go ahead, dying's okay, but I do not want anything coming out of my butt without me specifically ordering it out of the butt.
Speaker 2:So true.
Speaker 3:That's funny. That's sad too. That's actually funny Okay.
Speaker 2:Find a way to put that in your routine. That's good, I like that I like that.
Speaker 3:I don't know how you got to be honest with me here.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:I really liked your feedback last week in regards to presenting you my stand up material.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:Are you okay with it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, for sure, dude. Let me tell you something. My mother-in-law and my wife we watched this episode together. Okay, because I want to see their feedback. All right, my mother-in-law is 74, 75, maybe 76, somewhere in that neighborhood. So if we're hitting with her, then that's really telling. And then, trish, obviously she's heard my shit for 30 years, she's heard you for 28. Yeah, so you know, if we can make her laugh, then that's really doing something, dude, they were crying, laughing on the Jonas story, percy. And then when you did the line dad don't be a cock block, dude, it was uproaried, it was glorious.
Speaker 3:That's great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because they didn't see it coming either.
Speaker 3:That's good. Yeah, that's good. Okay, I'm glad, all right, and I like doing this and you know, for those unaware, I'm getting back into stand up comedy. Yeah, I'm going to start doing some open mics as soon as I have five absolutely solid minutes of material. They call that a tight five, right? And you know, right now I have, I probably have, I probably have three minutes that I'm very comfortable with.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:And, and I told you this last week, there's a couple of MCs and you know they're people that have been in the stand up comedy business for a long time, two separate people. They didn't get together to present this to me. I, you know, I heard one back in 2019 when I was doing open mics and then recently, when I said I was going to get back into it, they said, well, you'll never, ever be a successful comedian, tim.
Speaker 3:Because, yeah, I said well why? And they said well, you know you're. You're tall, handsome guy. The audience will not think that you feel pain they. The reason why most comics are successful is the audience can relate to them and feels pain with them.
Speaker 2:Okay, I get it.
Speaker 3:And yeah, but you know, I thought you know there's been some handsome comics, right? I mean Jaisal Nick's pretty handsome dude, right? Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, they're out there for sure. But the the overriding thing is pain is comedy. Yeah, pain can be torturous or pain can be comedy, and true comedians draw upon their pain to make us laugh. So Right, yeah, and everybody's got hardships, Timmy, everybody has it.
Speaker 3:And so what I did, I put together and you know this is rough I mean I've never. I mean, this is like I threw this out on a stream of conscious about 10 days ago and over the past 10 days, I'm tightening it here and I'm adjusting it there. I mean, this has never been spoken out in public ever. This is me bringing this to you, kevin Klein, and you've given me a initial feedback on it.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:And we'll go through it kind of slow and you know, piece by piece, because it's kind of a large chunk.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 3:And it's, it's it. I would love for this to get so good that I could do this out of the box so I can this, swage that whole. Yeah, yeah, he has no pain thing, right? So when you do something out, basically the formula for comedy is your best stuff goes last. Mm, hmm. You go out on the bed with your best stuff and your second best stuff right out front. Right.
Speaker 3:And then in between, you know you have all the rest of it. So this has got to be good. Okay, you ready, I'm ready, you know. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've told a woman it's not you, it's me. Then she pulled out the old, shaggy and scooby-doo legs turning and peel out and bailed on me like a brainstorming banshee, is right on my ass. Okay, but now I've fully come to realize it is me. Let me know if anybody can beat this sterling track record. My last three X's all three of them have unfollowed and unfriended me. Oh, really, yeah, two out of three of them say little big town song. Better man reminded me, reminded them of me. Oh, now, don't get me wrong, I'm kind of flattered by the. Sometimes in the middle of the night I can feel you again. I just miss you. I'm flattered by that part, but I wish you were a better man. Part cuts me like Gus Fring cut Victor in the basement lab.
Speaker 2:You're breaking bad reference, I love it.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, we'll have some fun. Initially. I do possess a certain set of skills that make eyes roll into the back of heads and I can make you laugh like a toddler blowing fart bubbles in the bathtub. But in the end it's the same old story. I'll treat you to an amazing lunch at Sugarfish in Manhattan, new York City. I'll have a helicopter fly us to the Hamptons for a four day weekend. Then on the last night you'll run through a laundry list of my character flaws that annoy the shit out of you. The next day, after I hand you your luggage from baggage claim, you will walk out of the airport and I will never see you again. How do I know this? Because that shit actually happened, oh man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I would love to have known that very detailed and frighteningly organized list of things about me that annoy you before I drop enough coins to actually make the national debt counter go backwards for a few hours.
Speaker 2:For sure.
Speaker 3:I like that one. I will treat you to some amazing lower level seats for Game Six of the World Series, where we'll watch the Houston Astros take down baseball's most coveted crown. But none of that matters. Hell, I could get you front row seats to watch the Astros shower after the winning and winning the World Championship, but you're still going to reject me the way Europeans reject soap. On the bright side, it looks like I'm this generation's. Good luck, Chuck. You know that movie, Dane Cook and Jessica Alba.
Speaker 2:OK.
Speaker 3:All these beautiful women seek him out because word has gotten around that right after they dump him they find their forever guy. Each of my three X's found their forever guy immediately after we split. I'm not sure if it's because it's just the way the universe is currently aligning, or if these ladies are so shell shocked by being exposed to me, they'll take anyone that is less frustrating and has a pulse.
Speaker 2:That's good.
Speaker 3:Regardless beautiful ladies that are looking for your forever guy, I apparently am now the gatekeeper. Yeah, I can deliver six to nine months of fun travel and satisfying physical relationship until that one day you've had enough of my shit, you wake up and decide to go Ariana Grande, and hit me with thank you next. Aw. Nice, Then you can happily ever after the hell out of me with your new life starting your bonding process with the new guy by telling him about the lunatic you were just with. You're welcome.
Speaker 2:Putting them on the path. Buddy, what do you think? We need to get into it a little bit quicker. The beginning is not as solid as the end, so we need to figure out how to, because the end I think about halfway through was really starting to kick.
Speaker 3:OK, yeah, so like we're a Gus friend, cut Victor in the basement.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that's what I. What was the couple of things before that?
Speaker 3:Little big town Better man. Yeah, was that slow, was that slow?
Speaker 2:For people who don't know a little big town that's going to go right over their head. But even if I'm giving the lyrics, yeah, yeah, I was getting ready to say you did explain it very well with the lyrics and you singing. That's always going to bring the house down.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 2:So definitely keep that.
Speaker 3:So you're talking like maybe getting right into it and going let me know if anybody can beat my Stirling track record with women yeah, my last three X's. So if I get right into it there, yes indeed, Instead of the whole, the whole. It's not you, it's not me, scooby-doo.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:That can go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it doesn't need to be there.
Speaker 3:No, I'm good, because what I?
Speaker 2:want, because the back end is so much stronger than the front end. Just get right into it.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 2:Just get right into it.
Speaker 3:OK, I like that.
Speaker 2:So let me hear it. Let me hear it the way that it would go now.
Speaker 3:All right, anybody here in a relationship? Yeah, you'll always get some people. Yeah yeah. Anybody here for break up with anybody? Yeah, yeah. So let me know if anybody can beat this Stirling track record. My last three X's have all unfollowed and unfriended me. All three of them, damn. Is that a better way in?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's so much quicker, so much faster, and yeah, you hit it you hit it with the, and I can do that like right.
Speaker 3:You know, as soon as they welcome to the stage.
Speaker 2:Tim Tuttle yeah, let me do that for you. Let me do that for you. And now, ladies and gentlemen, your feature act of the evening.
Speaker 3:Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, not feature, okay, your headliner for the evening.
Speaker 2:No, no, no.
Speaker 3:Opening for Bill Burr.
Speaker 2:Yes, he's Bill Burrth, right hand man. He's selected. Bill Burr chose him out of everybody else in the world. Ladies and gentlemen, longtime radio host and now professional comedian, tim Tuttle.
Speaker 3:Calvin, thanks Calvin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, it's so cool to hear your name and then have to go out there, isn't it cool?
Speaker 3:It is. It is, even when it's open mic and there's only like 30 people and even if you don't like, even if, like, only like three or four clap, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, it's probably harder when there's less people.
Speaker 3:It is Kev, let me tell you this. It is so scary, yeah. And what people don't understand is when it's just and I'm more impressed, in all honesty, with stand up comics than I am musicians they have a band, they have instruments. You know, when you're a stand up comedy comic, it's you and a microphone, and if you don't make them laugh every 15 to 20 seconds, you're dead, you're at war. It's actually a war. Uh-huh.
Speaker 3:You're going into battle, for sure, and you'll use you know you'll use every weapon that you possibly can. And I was actually having a discussion with Jonas about this, you know Jonas was asking hey, you know, some of that gets pretty personal, dad. And I said son man, you're at war. Yeah. And if I have some personal stuff, that is a weapon, like I told him. I said Percy, your Percy story is a nuclear bomb. Yeah, I mean every single time, to every single audience, even if they've heard it before, will laugh.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, because it's that is so relatable. You know how many times have people or parents been embarrassed by something their infant child has done or said? It's just got to be everybody.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and even if you don't have one, I mean, come on man a kid a kid running in target thinking he's saying I want Percy, but he struggles with his Rs. I mean that's, do you have that? That was an unbelievable moment there. The funny thing about that is, as many times as I've told that story since 2007,. The people that were in the target that day, including the old guy that said, no, we all, son, they've had a story forever. They're telling it to for sure, I guarantee it. And I actually had somebody, because I think I think I related that story within the last three years of us being doing morning radio together on 93 Q and I actually had somebody approach me on it and said I was in the target. He said he said.
Speaker 3:He said that's a great story, Tim. We heard you talking about it a couple of months ago on the air. He said if anybody ever says, oh, that's not true, that's, that's bullshit, that's a bullshit, you have them email me. I was there back in 2007.
Speaker 2:Give them my number.
Speaker 3:So yeah, that's anyway. I told them. I said, yeah, you're, you're at war and you will pull out any weapon, that you have to win that war. And that's I'm at. You're at war with the audience. You have to make them laugh or you're dead. Yeah, and they kill you with your, the honesty. Like that's not funny. They kill you with that. They're not fake laughing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's only a couple of people that I know that could actually rebound from that, from from nobody laughing. Norm MacDonald, oh, he loved it.
Speaker 3:We loved it. We loved it, I know. Remember I asked him, I said do you specifically bomb on purpose because you love that awkwardness? And he admitted it. He did. He said. He said, yeah, I'll throw out a stinker just just to make the room honest. Yeah.
Speaker 3:And that's what he said too. He said. He said I don't want people laughing because, ok, it's Norm MacDonald weekend update guy here and you've laughed at something I did. I want people laughing. I need them to laugh at these specific jokes right here. So he'll throw out something he knows is going to bomb and he wants to hear dead silence, a because it makes him laugh, because it's awkward, and B, he wants to know if the audience is giving him honest feedback.
Speaker 2:There's two things that to to illustrate this point, Go watch the video of Norm hosting the correspondence dinner in Washington DC. That was the most awkward comedy you'll ever see, that's awesome. And then when he roasted, when he was on the roast for Bob Saget, who was his best friend, yeah, and he refused to roast Bob Saget, so he went up with index cards of dad jokes.
Speaker 3:That's hilarious.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was funny. But nobody got it, nobody got it.
Speaker 3:And Kev, I had forgotten. I remember when it happened many years ago, but when he was on Conan it was 1998. He's on Conan. Andy Richter is over to the right of him, to the left of him. In the guest chair is Courtney Thorne Smith.
Speaker 2:From Melrose Place.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she had. Just she's on her last season of Melrose Place. This is before she was in the Jim Belushi sitcom and the other stuff that she did. She made a movie with Carrot Top called Chairman of the Board and she's even gone on record saying she knew it was a turd and she had to go out and promote it and everything like that and she is so happy that Norm took over he totally did.
Speaker 3:And it became a classic. Should we tell some of the stuff he said, or should we let people go look it up themselves? It's so classic yeah.
Speaker 2:Geez, I mean you want to tell people that what happened. But I mean, if you can go ahead and tell it, because the way Norm delivers it is just that's what's funny.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, she says. She says that she has some love scenes with Carrot Top in the film and Conan goes oh, it sounds like it's kind of like nine and a half weeks and Norm McDonald goes with Carrot Top. It's probably nine and a half seconds.
Speaker 2:Like that, like that. It wasn't that there was no pause.
Speaker 3:Just like boom. I mean, he's so quick and none of this is rehearsed.
Speaker 2:None.
Speaker 3:It's just Norm McDonald being Norm McDonald and you got to love that about him. And then Conan goes well, she's going to be on this still unnamed film and Norm goes I got a name for it.
Speaker 2:And what did he say?
Speaker 3:Box office poison and she's, she's laugh, you know you could tell she's a fan of Norm McDonald and just honored that she's using her appearance, he's using her appearance to get laughs, and then she, she butts in and goes. Well, actually, there's a name for it it's called Chairman of the Board and to which Conan, to which Conan says do something with that smart ass.
Speaker 2:Yeah he looks over at Norm. What do you got smart ass.
Speaker 3:And he goes. Well, the board is spelled B O R E D. That quick, everybody in the house.
Speaker 2:Yeah, conan almost fell out of his chair, oh Conan.
Speaker 3:You know, you could tell Andy Richter is like oh my God, this is unbelievable. And Courtney Thorne Smith, I thought she was going to pee her pants. She was laughing so hard.
Speaker 3:And you got, you got to love that that that I became a fan of hers, you know, when I saw that Because she's got a great sense of humor, there's a lot of Hollywood starlets that would just be like, oh my God, I'm trying to promote my movie. You just told me you just destroyed me, but she is just laughing her butt off. So I thought that was really, really cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And for what we were talking about. What makes it really really good is that he got into it so quick. You know that that so just, and that was something that actually a comedian in Houston, ted Vincent, actually told me that I tried a couple of things out on him and he's like you got to get in faster. Yeah, no, that's good, that's good, and you know, especially when you only have five minutes and you got, and you got to be, you got to be quick.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like have, because you did some stand up comedy. Uh huh. Have you ever had a heckler?
Speaker 2:Um, no, I can't. No, I can't remember one, uh, no.
Speaker 3:I was. I was uh, you know I was asking this the, the, the comedian who hosted the open mic. I said you know, you know you ever have hecklers. You know it's because it's open mic, it's, you know, people get drunk and everything like that.
Speaker 3:Oh sure he goes. Yeah, we got hecklers all the time he got. He looks at me and goes. I wouldn't worry about it, though I mean, the people look at you and think, oh, I'm not going to heckle him. He's going to come out in the audience and kick my ass, which I wouldn't no, of course not, but I would hit him with stuff.
Speaker 2:But you're quick enough. You're quick enough to to diffuse that right away.
Speaker 3:I, I, Kevin, I am actually praying to God that I get a heckler eventually.
Speaker 2:Well, if if you don't anytime soon, okay, and you want one, I'll fly down and I'll sit in the back and heckle you and you can just throw out that material then.
Speaker 3:Oh, that would be great.
Speaker 2:Just use me as a plant.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, that would be great.
Speaker 2:Dude, would it be funny.
Speaker 3:Particularly, you know, particularly if it's an audience that that isn't responding, like like they should be responding, and then you just throw out a heckle and then I see it, I'm ready in such a way that that could turn everything around, you know, oh yeah, and by the way, tell me if I'm wrong the greatest response to heckling in the history of comedy is Bill Burr in Philadelphia about 15 years ago.
Speaker 2:That that's not a response, that's a soliloquy.
Speaker 3:It was so good for you know. For those on a while I'm just going to. You know I'm not going to tell you what he did. You know you need to look up Bill Burr, philadelphia. That's all you have to Google.
Speaker 2:That's it. Bill.
Speaker 3:Burr, philadelphia, and you know what they were. They did is they did a festival in Philadelphia, comedy Festival, massive crowd, and it's late in the day and the crowd is, you know, completely taken over the situation. They're heckling and booing legendary comedians leading up to Bill Burr. And Bill Burr is the kind of guy where, like I'm not taking this and he ripped in to the Philadelphia crowd for 11 straight minutes. You know they were doing 15 minute chunks, they 15 minute sets. So the first four minutes he's trying to deliver his stuff. He's trying to and he's finally he's just like, okay, and he just starts ripping them. He's like, well, I'm still going to get paid. And he's counting it down as he's ripping them 10 minutes left, nine minutes left, and he's just shredding Philadelphia. And to me he's so genius that to think of these scenarios like completely off script, to just go off and destroy, you know, 15, 20,000 people in front of them and their city.
Speaker 2:But by the end what happened? They are cheering him Exactly.
Speaker 3:He ripped them to shreds. You know, basically calling them every name in the book. You are the most racist people in history. You know, here, here you have a legendary boxer from Philadelphia, Joe Frazier, but you're going to put a statue up of an Italian guy that's never boxed before Rocky.
Speaker 2:Balboa.
Speaker 3:You are so racist and he's just shredding them. I mean everything I hope and going really deep, I hope each and every one of you die a horrible death. And going into details and what, and I'm just like wow. And by the end of it, that whole crowd, they didn't want him to go. No, you can hear it. They gave him an ovation.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and from that point on Kev he was not. That turned him around forever. But not only that he is now the comedian's comedian.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, and he's a lot of other people's comedian too. He's actually coming to coming to Springfield, missouri, in about a month.
Speaker 3:Are you going to check it out?
Speaker 2:I might, I might, I might just try and see if I could go go interviewing for us. Do it, yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3:For those unaware, kev, you have this right here. You'll, you'll, you'll put it up. As you can see from the family tree, we were both. Both Bill Burr and I are related to Aaron Burr About a few generations ago. When it gets to Mary Burr, she goes, you know she goes. It takes me to my line, you know. There's my sister, tina Tuttle, and I'm obviously her brother so, and he has Mary, had a brother, and that's his great, great, great great grandfather. So we're like fifth or sixth cousins.
Speaker 2:She had a little lamb too. I don't have any kids, but it's still a dad joke. Thank you, you're welcome. Yeah, dad jokes.
Speaker 3:I actually saw him with my ex in San Antonio December of 22. So I don't think he's had a special since then. So I think it's same material or maybe he's got more. He's always building material, but you're gonna love it, man. He's hilarious.
Speaker 2:You know, one of the things that I one of his stories that I like, is when his girlfriend brings home the pit bull.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's hilarious, he's like. He's like. He's like I bought a pit bull. They were talking about getting a dog. I bought a pit bull and he's like I'm on the road, you think I should. I should probably be there for that. And then she says now, you didn't think this over, clearly, because I'm gonna fly back into town. You've been bonding for three or four days with this pit bull who God knows what's happened to this pit bull. You know what's floating through the head and I'm gonna try to gain entrance into our place. What do you think's gonna happen, honey?
Speaker 2:Yeah it is a really funny bit. It's really funny.
Speaker 3:Bill Burr is awesome. Dev, I wanna show you this round. Next month and this is just an amazing opportunity for me I'm gonna be shooting a TV show.
Speaker 2:You have mentioned this to me and I'm really anxious to see it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, about the time end of January, early February, when I was talking about getting the itch and coming back and doing something creative. And then what's happened between Kevin and I over the last few weeks has been amazing. But immediately I got an offer to host a TV show and I'm excited about it. I can't give any details yet because we're gonna have an official press conference about it. It's a nationally syndicated television show, okay, and I've given you the details, and it sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?
Speaker 2:Dude, it's right up my alley. Right up my alley. I really love this kind of stuff, and so I can't wait. Like I said, I can't wait to watch it.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So it's gonna be really really cool. Nationally syndicated. It'll be on different network channels in different cities, like it may be on the ABC channel in Austin, it may be on Fox and Phoenix or whatever. It'll be nationwide. Gonna shoot the first eight episodes in April and Kev. This is no fly by night operation. I got a picture for you right here. This is what the set looks like. This is the kind of sets that this production company does. That looks expensive, doesn't it?
Speaker 2:That looks like it cost a lot. Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I'm feeling a little pressure, man. I'm like, oh boy, you know, it just looks like from one of these situations that a lot of people's livelihood is online, based on what this radio clown slash podcast clown delivers to us.
Speaker 2:Dude, you've never felt pressure in your life.
Speaker 3:No, I'm gonna nail this shit, of course, of course you will. I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it. I gotta get a little-. Especially not with your meditation Exactly. I'll visualize every single scene. I will, yeah, because when you do a big time production like this, there's a lot of stop start, of course, and that gives me a chance to go back into the trailer and go into my meditation and visualize my next segment. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I know exactly what you're saying. They call it editing, yeah. That's correct, and post production. That's correct. They're gonna shoot you until you get it right Exactly, so there's no pressure at all.
Speaker 3:Exactly, but when we have the press conference we'll play a little clips here if you wanna see them. See the official press conference releasing it. And yeah, I'm continuing to really ramp up my workout regimen. You gotta get in TV shape, gav. You gotta be, you know-. You're not in TV shape, not almost Almost. I've leaned out. I was two silverback gorilla there for a while. Okay, so, I've leaned out and, yeah, I should be fine by April. But that's gonna be a fun thing and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 2:So when you shoot in April, when does it start airing, do you know?
Speaker 3:Probably be around the fall. It'll start airing around the fall. Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, we're gonna shoot eight episodes. They purchased eight and they're actually talking about expanding it to 13. So it may actually be 13 already in the can, edited, ready to go for a fall schedule. Nice, yeah, I'm excited, but you know, of course, gav, I'm really excited about our podcast. I love this.
Speaker 2:Same here, Dude. It's so much fun, you know, and it just like we have a plan of what we might talk about. Dude, we've hit two things today. That's it, I know that's it. I mean nowhere on our sheet did we say we were gonna talk about anal leakage today.
Speaker 3:And it just happened Boom, suddenly. You're talking about anal leakage. I mean it just it could happen to anybody. I know a lot of you are like. Well, I've never been in a conversation with anybody where anal leakage would come out Pardon the pun. And suddenly you're talking about anal leakage. You could be in a job interview and it might rear its ugly head. Oh, that would actually be funny, gav, wouldn't it? Though, holy cow, you just gave me an idea for a possible YouTube campaign where I have no idea what are you laughing?
Speaker 2:I can't see where this is going.
Speaker 3:Where I have no intent. You're gonna go? No intention whatsoever of taking the job, but I just get these job interviews on challenges to work in phrases like anal leakage. And if I could get the job interviewer to say anal leakage, that's hilarious.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 3:Oh, we can like present it to our podcast audience too. I could be like okay, if I can get a donation of $500 and we'll have a little donate button or whatever to the podcast, I will go out and do this. And if I can't get the, if I can't get the person to say anal leakage, then we'll give you a you know, a tuddling client T-shirt or a mug or something like that.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 3:I love that.
Speaker 2:See, an idea was born.
Speaker 3:That's awesome. By the way, speaking of ideas, you know we want your feedback in regards to the podcast. We would love for you to each of you to go on social media. We're on Facebook. We're on Instagram. I just opened up a TikTok account.
Speaker 3:A few days ago and all you have to do is search Tuttle and Klein. You know the sign is easier. I think the A and D will work too, and we would love for you to like, follow, download, subscribe, rating when you go on one of the podcast platforms and on YouTube. Please do that for us. I know you've heard that a lot and I've heard that a lot too, but I didn't realize until we started getting into the podcast how very important it is for your audience to like and follow and download and subscribe and give a rating. That is so important and it'll allow us to continue to do this.
Speaker 2:It's how people find out about podcasts. You know, as the popularity of a podcast grows, as the audience engagement grows, more people come to the table. You know, and yeah, we like our little club but we want to expand that little club, you know.
Speaker 3:It'll only make the show better. And I'll tell you this I don't know whether they're saying that there's a thing called Patreon where you have membership.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And I was thinking you know, if you message us and you're one of the paid members or something like that, with any question about us or our radio career, that you want a completely honest answer and we have to honestly answer it. But I'm just thinking how dangerous that could be.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I mean, it's as dangerous as you want it to be or allow it to be. But I've known about Patreon now because I've had the fuzzy mic since 2017. And I've known about Patreon because our old boss, john Lenick, told me about it and I'm against it. You know I'm against it and the reason I'm against it. Now, what you're proposing, I can handle that because we're giving them something back. Okay, you make a $20 donation. Ask us any question. Well, I hate asking listeners to pay for something that essentially, we should be giving them for free. And it's our responsibility to go out and get sponsors, as we have with air innovations.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I agree. I mean basically by you listening, particularly if you're still listening and watching this late in the podcast, you're already paying us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, big time. Yeah, and that's the promise that I would like us to make is we will continue to deliver high quality podcast content. You just go out and share the message.
Speaker 3:That's it. Yeah, for those of you who have listened to us for many years, please reach out to people that you know have listened to. Maybe you've had discussions about second date update. Maybe you had. Please let them know, because we'd love to keep this thing going. We just need to keep moving up. Thank you for making us top 10% listen to podcasts in the world on our first episode, debute, debut Our debut, but now we got ahead to 5%.
Speaker 3:You know, yeah, so we need more. We appreciate it if you'd help get the word out. And another thing is our merchandising.
Speaker 2:Merchandising.
Speaker 3:We got some really neat merchandising. I love the color scheme, the logo, the stuff is high quality. We will not sell garbage. It is high quality stuff. You can go to the Tuttle and Client Facebook page and it has details exactly how to order some of our neat merchandise and I'm gonna back up on that. We're not gonna answer any question that you have, honestly, no matter what it is, because the statute of limitations on some of it has not run out.
Speaker 2:It has not run out. Oh, can we give a shout out? Please do, Desi. Thank you so much for being the first person to purchase a Tuttle and Client shirt.
Speaker 3:Are you kidding? Somebody's already bought something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my friend Desi.
Speaker 3:We just put it out.
Speaker 2:We just put it out. She was the very first person.
Speaker 3:Thank you very much.
Speaker 2:Thanks, Des.
Speaker 3:That's awesome, Kev. What do you have coming up this week?
Speaker 2:So coming up this week, on Friday and Saturday, the hockey team that I'm the public address announcer for Drew University, my wife's on my mater, they're playing the former college I went to, they're playing Oklahoma State. So I'm announcing both of those games, friday and Saturday. And then a new episode of the Fuzzy Mike comes out tomorrow and it's a tough one. It's about mental health and my guest and I talk about our suicide attempts. Fun for the whole family. Fun for the whole family.
Speaker 3:That's hilarious.
Speaker 2:It's. You know it's true, It'll help people.
Speaker 3:But during that time he promises not to bring up anal leakage once.
Speaker 2:We did not talk about that. No, I've recorded it already and there is not one mention of anal leakage.
Speaker 3:That's hilarious, oh and.
Speaker 2:Kev yeah.
Speaker 3:And I don't want to make this. You know every podcast, but you just brought up something and I have to present a regret.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, with you, with me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, when you bought up Oklahoma State. I hate, still hate myself to this. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but why do you hate yourself?
Speaker 3:I just I hate. We were doing edgy content and you know, I, I, I, I, I. We take no prisoners. Kevin, you know, you know, was all proud Oklahoma State. Didn't you donate to a lot of alumni and thing?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we were thinking about making our own baseball scholarship. Trish and I were going to make our own baseball scholarship because I played baseball for one season there.
Speaker 3:I was such a dick live on the air. When we were in Birmingham, we called the Oklahoma State Alumni Association and and we said, well, Kevin Klein went to Oklahoma State. What was it? One year 8889. And 8889. Yeah, 8889. And he's, you know, wanting to do some stuff as an alum and he's presenting himself on the air as an alum. Is he an alum? And they said, well, did he? Did he graduate from Oklahoma State? And Kevin, you had to, you had to tail between your legs, you had to say what.
Speaker 2:No, no, he didn't. No, he went one year.
Speaker 3:And then they said, well then, he's a former student.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they're very passionate people, our former students, but they're not alumni.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we actually have a separate sticker for them, for the car. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and I could just.
Speaker 3:I could just see this Oklahoma State. Like Alvary, if you put an alumni sticker on there, kev, they would pull you over and be like no, here is a former student sticker, sir.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 3:But I am so sorry that I did that.
Speaker 2:No worries, man. No worries, it's all good Cause you were not. I know you were not happy, no, but you know what In my heart?
Speaker 3:You're still in our twenties.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but in my heart I know that I went there. I know I played one season for them and I mean I'm closer to an alumni at Texas State University than I am. Yeah, Because I went. I went, that's where I finished. Yeah, I got 142 college credit hours. I don't have a degree.
Speaker 3:Isn't that hilarious. I see, I have 125 credit hours. I have a college degree. Kevin, we have 140. What?
Speaker 2:142.
Speaker 3:And has no college degree. Yeah, but let me throw this out to the Oklahoma State Alumni Association. I think enough time has passed since that phone call where you could declare Kevin Klein an honorary Oklahoma State alum because he is the only person in history to have played footsie with one of your greatest alums, Barry Sander. Have played footsie with him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, every Wednesday I would go to fellowship of Christian athletes, which was held in our weight room, and they would always do some sort of an ice breaker at the beginning so that you could meet people, and so on this particular night I was there and they decided the ice breaker was going to be you pair off with somebody you don't know. You're going to stand arm length apart from each other, and then who's going to stomp on each other's toes? Okay, and I didn't know anybody there. I'm the last kid picked. And who is my partner?
Speaker 2:The guy that shows up late, barry Sanders, during his Heisman Trophy year. Now, there's no wind for me on this. Okay, because if I beat him in toe tag, I run the risk of maybe breaking a toe or something and putting him on the injured list. And if I beat him in toe tag, barry, how quick are your feet when this dude can beat you? So I didn't have to throw the competition because he schooled me right away. But yeah, barry Sanders stepped on my feet three times. That's hilarious. He went on to win the Heisman Trophy that year.
Speaker 3:And then became one of the greatest running backs in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And I'll tell you this a lot of people don't know.
Speaker 2:Super cool guy, by the way.
Speaker 3:Don't know this story. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame Gold Jacket, canton, ohio. Kevin, of course, feeling that he's bonded with Barry Sanders, flew there for the induction and just prior to approaches Barry Sanders say, hey, barry, it's me Kevin. And Barry Sanders is like I don't know who are you. And Kevin took off his shoes. Barry looked down and said, oh my God, it's Kevin Klein A former student. Yeah, he's like oh, somebody whisper something his ears like oh, I'm told I can't really talk to you because you're not an alumni.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 3:You're a former student, so here's your sticker, All right man, let's go out on that, Kevin. It's been fun, it's been a blast bro, and again we will have all this stuff up for you right away, let me tell you this, but just to end it, you, sir, I don't ever want you to be down on yourself. You are the greatest former student of Oklahoma State University that has ever walked the face of the earth, pal. Thanks, buddy.
Speaker 2:I'm out.
