Welcome to the Tudlin Klein Show.
Speaker 2:Good morning to you, Calvin.
Speaker 3:How you doing, buddy? I'm doing well, I'm doing well.
Speaker 2:I love that shirt. You got the Tudlin Klein Hawaiian Brazier. It's Thomas Magnum meets the chaos of Tudlin Klein.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was the link a while back. I didn't know if you wanted, but I bought three different ones. So over the next three weeks, when you log on to the YouTube account and watch this video, you're going to see three different Tudlin Klein shirts.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I have to ask do they sell it in Smedium for me?
Speaker 3:Oh, they sell it in like I think there's like eight or nine different sizes. So yeah, you could definitely get one for Smedium.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 3:And your shirt. Today it led Zeppelin, your all time favorite band. Correct A little foreshadowing, Timmy. What do you got? Kevin Glein, Do you want to just jump in the top three right now?
Speaker 2:Oh well, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1:Just when you thought they couldn't count any higher. It's Tudlin Klein's top three.
Speaker 3:All right. Based on the conversation that I had last week with Phil Sussan, who played with Jimmy Page, this is the top three that when I started doing top five, top three lists in my head when I was running this is the first one I came up with not influential, innovative top three. Most innovative guitar players of all time.
Speaker 2:Joe Satriani.
Speaker 3:Okay, what made him innovative?
Speaker 2:I couldn't believe how fast his fingers were moving when I saw him. Okay, now you, if you haven't heard about Joe Satriani, I mean virtuoso oh yeah, he's amazing. I don't think you can even like connect him to any specific bands. Kevin Glein.
Speaker 3:No, he's been a solo artist.
Speaker 2:He's just the guy that people would bring in for special things. You know, he's that guy.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:If guitarists were assassins, he would be like the number one assassin that they would call in if they had a really big job they needed to do. Uh-huh.
Speaker 2:That's who Joe Satriani is. But yeah, kevin, the finger work. I couldn't even believe how quick he was and just how crisp his notes sounded. There was no muddiness and in terms of mud, that's okay. I mean, jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin had a lot of muddy stuff. Sure, I mean, just play some of this mud right here from in the evening from Led Zeppelin, jimmy Page, just really, really muddy.
Speaker 3:I think that's derivative of the blues because you know there was muddy waters one of the blues players. Blues has always been kind of muddy, you know yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. But Joe Satriani just crisp and clean, I got to have him on it. Innovative, what was the specifics?
Speaker 3:again, I can't remember the most innovative, not the most influential, most innovative. So who took this instrument to a new height, to a new level? Eddie Van Halen, I was going to say right out of the box, come on.
Speaker 2:He was so innovative, kev. I don't know if you remember this or not, but initially, when he was doing it, I mean, I think Van Halen won their first three records. A lot of times he would just turn around during live performances. He didn't want other guitarists stealing his methods, do you? Remember that I totally remember that there were two guys in history that used to turn around during performance Jim Morrison, from the Doors when he started because he was so shy. Uh-huh.
Speaker 2:And then Eddie Van Halen, because he was so innovative he didn't want other people jacking his stuff. I mean, it was unbelievable what he did Eruption oh, do you remember like seeing him play Eruption though? And you were just like oh okay, we're in a different world now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, that, and also one of the best guitar solos ever is in Thriller.
Speaker 2:Yeah he did Thriller with Michael Jackson, and did you know that he didn't get paid a penny for it?
Speaker 3:Really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because they weren't supposed to do side projects. He didn't even tell you know, david Lee and Mark Anthony and his brother what he was doing. He just popped into the studio because, you know, michael called hey hey, eddie, I got this great song and I need a riff. I need a riff. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, shimon, you know, I called him and just like that. That was the exact conversation, right there.
Speaker 3:Exactly. Yeah, no, we have recording.
Speaker 2:And, of course, eddie Van Halen moonwalk straight to the studio and just just just, absolutely riff that and he never. You know, and Michael Jackson's I think it was Quincy Jones, wasn't he that produced through the Thriller album Absolutely. Quincy said hey, you know, eddie, we got to get you paid. You know let's talk about this. And he goes no, it's got to be off the record, because I'm not even supposed to be here. Wow, and I heard Eddie Van Halen say that that's one of his biggest regrets is he never got a nickel from his. His beat it riff and it's one of the most recognizable riffs in history.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think he did OK for himself.
Speaker 2:You know, he's not really missing that thriller money, he never had to go to the soup kitchen, never Like like, like out of necessity. Now he may have been there to help out, but he's never completely had to and he's, he's OK and you know he took care of Valerie Burton, nellie and his boy Wolfie.
Speaker 3:Wolfie yeah.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, I got to have Eddie Van Halen on there. In terms of innovative, oh, yeah, yeah, hey Kev, because it's innovation, and you know, rock and roll in itself was innovative. I mean, don't you have to have Chuck Berry?
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, man, you're going, you're going really up here kind of. But Chuck Berry was amazing Stainless boy. Yeah, yeah, don't you?
Speaker 2:I mean don't you have to. I mean, he freaked the world out. It didn't Chuck Berry and Little Richard, didn't they invent rock and roll?
Speaker 3:Well, if you're familiar with the movie Back to the Future, when Michael J Fox plays with the high school band, he's playing Chuck Berry. Yes, that's what he's playing.
Speaker 2:And he freaked out the high school band. Yeah, and with his solo. And remember he goes, he goes. You may not have liked that, it may have freaked you out, but your kids are going to love it.
Speaker 3:That's right. Yeah yeah, chuck Berry is amazing. Have you ever seen when he was alive? Did you ever see him playing concert?
Speaker 2:I never saw him play, did you?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I saw him playing in Columbia Missouri and I had a little little inside track to get some behind the scenes stuff. So Chuck Berry, when he played live from city to city he would go and he would ask the club owner where he was playing. Hey, give me a drummer and give me a bassist. That you know really well. It's like what you're not bringing a band. He goes no, I played by myself, but I just recruit people in the area. So he, the club owner in Columbia Missouri, gets a bassist and gets a, gets a drummer, and they meet with Chuck that day during sound check and Chuck says you guys don't have to worry about anything, just follow me.
Speaker 2:Oh, I love it.
Speaker 3:Isn't that crazy.
Speaker 2:I love it.
Speaker 3:Isn't that nuts man? Oh my.
Speaker 2:God, that's just, that's awesome.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And just as a tangent, kev, you know that that whole, you know, find me somebody locally. Uh-huh. I always thought if I was a professional golfer?
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I would go to every course and I would say who's the current club champion? I want them to caddie for me this week. Oh, because they, they know the course Absolutely More than anybody. They know all of the nuances, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I definitely know what you're saying is something I'd never thought about.
Speaker 2:And it has nothing to do with my uh, you know, level one autism inability to connect with people and not wanting to caddie the same caddie over. It has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 3:No, nothing at all.
Speaker 2:He just wants the inside edge.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I get it, Kevin, you're.
Speaker 2:you're so hip with music. I cannot wait to hear your top three innovative guitars of all time Well, mine are kind of boring compared to yours.
Speaker 3:Uh, van Halen was number one on my list. Okay, yeah, number two on my list, tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine.
Speaker 2:No, that's a good one. It's not boring at all.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's not. I mean he freaked people out in the mid nineties. I know he was really good I could. It was a very distinctive sound, very different, very fast, very angry.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He's like one of those, one of the first guitarists where it's like, oh he's pissed.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, well, the whole band was.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the whole band. And why?
Speaker 3:they called it Rage Against the Machine.
Speaker 2:You know, the funny thing, though real quick, about Rage Against the Machine, kev, is that one of the funniest things I ever saw is uh, is they? They had their first tour after COVID. Uh huh.
Speaker 2:And they were tweeting demanding that everybody get the vaccine. Ah, and I tweeted back and I go. Are we changing uh uh rage to now with the machine? Now with oh yeah, became the machine. Ah, there you go, became the machine. That's it. We're sweet. Exactly I, I, I tweeted that uh to um. It got deleted. They, they didn't like that. I can't imagine why that would have gotten deleted.
Speaker 2:But, uh, you know, I, and I was just like you know, um gosh, what is it? Uh, what is their? Their song? With the F, u at the end constant, that can't even remember the name of the song.
Speaker 3:Do you know the movie Love Actually?
Speaker 2:Yes, I do.
Speaker 3:So I bring that up because you're talking about, uh, the rage against the machine song. Um, you remember the? Uh, the Billy Mack? Uh, christmas is you know the, the song he's trying to get to make number one? Yes, over in the UK they have a thing where whatever song is number one at the end of the year that song gets to be played live by the artist in a concert. Okay and so, yes, and so this whole storyline is about rage against the machine, because rage against the machine and the song that you're talking about killing in the name of that's it that was. That was the number one song in England for that particular year, and rage against the machine came over and played a concert. They played that song ad nauseum on British radio and made that number one at the end of the year.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, what did the queen think?
Speaker 3:I probably did not listen to it, but that's where that storyline comes from. And yeah, that's how progressive uh the uh the radio folk over in the UK are. They actually played that all day long. Wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did not know they did that. But they don't get as a bent out of shape about language as the FCC. That uh.
Speaker 3:Well, you can say the F word, you can't say bloody stupid.
Speaker 2:Is that weird?
Speaker 3:Remember when we were on with Christian O'Connell.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, oh gosh, that was great. For those unaware, uh, we used to have a rivalry with an London radio station. Uh, back when Kevin and I were doing an alternative rock morning show and they lost a bet or something like that. And they actually won the bet and we had to sing God save the queen on their airwaves in London and Kev had a completely different version of it that the whole nation was angry at Tuttle and Clown. Do you remember that?
Speaker 3:It's one of the highlights of my career and, I think, of our career. I still know every word of that song and I'll sing it to my stuff every once in a while.
Speaker 2:That is on, Do you? I mean, can you give it to us real quick?
Speaker 3:Yeah, sure. By the way by the way, though, the bet that we lost was with the British Open, and Tim said no, uh, no UK golfer will finish in the top five, and I'll be damned if Ian Woosnam didn't.
Speaker 2:Woosie did that's right.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, and then, and then you know, so we lost the bet, so we're on live in London. I mean, he put us on live.
Speaker 4:Yep.
Speaker 2:Uh, their audience. And he was hyping it up for the for the whole day or something like that, saying these we, we got these. Uh, we got these colonists, these Americans going to call in. They have to sing God save the queen. It's going to be a great moment. So he was hyping it up, so all of London was just waiting for this moment and we decided, okay, we're going to sing God save the queen, but you know, we're creative, we're Americans, we're rebellious, we're assholes and we're a rock station and we're Tuttle and Klein and this is God save the queen.
Speaker 3:Now hang on a second, because before I get into this. So uh, tim says, tim calls me the night before and he says dude, you know you can't sing God save the queen. And I'm like, what are you talking about? And he's like dude, you have got to change the lyrics. He says you can't do this. He goes we were belled against them. You can't sing their national anthem. I said okay, up to the task.
Speaker 3:And so they did not know that this was coming. God save our gracious queen, although her teeth aren't clean. God save the queen. She was victorious in the world war. Too fuss, it was because of us. We save the queen. Oh, sir McCartney, rise. Your chick has just one thigh and just one knee. You fight in a straight line wearing red all the time. A tactic not sublime. We laugh at thee. All of your football fans, considered hooligans, throw bricks for glee. Your turnee, wimbledon. When was the last you won Handman, your chosen son? No victory. And then we bring it home with this. You introduced Mad Cow hoof and mouth. For about our beef is rich. We left you years ago. We dominate, you know. Last thought before we go you are our bitch. That was saying on national radio in London, in London, england.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I have. It's still to this day, one of the most I mean I remember reading back. Back then they didn't have direct messaging, we had email remember?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we had email.
Speaker 2:I remember reading so many angry British emails. They were so pissed at us.
Speaker 3:God, they were, but it was awesome.
Speaker 2:I mean, you know, it got around in America what we did too, and we just had all kinds of patriots coming out and saying that was the the freaking best shit we have ever heard on the radio.
Speaker 3:Yeah. And then they, they demanded equal time. Oh, we demand equal time. You can have your tea and crumpets.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we're like. You can demand all you want.
Speaker 3:So then they came on the next week and they played, they did our national anthem with a D, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d D.
Speaker 2:D, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d D D.
Speaker 3:D.
Speaker 2:To Woodstock. Are you kidding me? Yeah, are you kidding me. And just some of his sounds, I mean some of the things that he's doing, just go, you know, fire and obviously purple haze and Foxy Lady. I mean just those riffs right there, unbelievable.
Speaker 3:Well, the Wind, christ Mario is gets me. I love that one, love that one. It's so soulful with an electric guitar.
Speaker 2:And the wind screams.
Speaker 3:Mary, and that's why I sang the National Anthem.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm so sorry. Sometimes I forget we're like doing a podcast. I think we're just like talking. I'm sorry about that everybody.
Speaker 3:Dude, that was awesome. Yeah, that was good, I love that that was Tim's all time dream job was to be a lead singer and a rock band.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's all I mean, and I had one shot at it. It was my roommate, kurt Friedholt. He was the guitarist for a band called Blitzen. Great name and in at Ball State, my sophomore junior year lead singer graduated and wanted to go get a real job. So they needed and they got gigs. Blitzen was getting gigs and you know he said he said, timmy, we're going to give you a shot, we're going to audition you and, as Led Zeppelin, the ocean is what I had to sing.
Speaker 3:Oh, easy song right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, I went with Robert Plant. What a dumbass. I know what. Why didn't I go ACDC back in black? I mean, come on man. Anything but black. I mean, that's already better than Brian Johnson.
Speaker 3:Yeah. As a matter of fact, they've already hired Tuttle for the 2024 tour.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I remember I made sure I knew the words but I listened to it like 40 times in a row just to make sure I had every word down. And I get in there at the audition and literally the first verse, the drummer stops. Greg Baradis, you son of a bitch Baradis. He stops and he goes. Nah, it's not going to work, just stop. And you know, my roommate, kurt, is like well, let him finish at least. Greg and Jeff Howerton he was on the basis. He's like yeah, timmy's got some other skills, he's got good stage presence. He can handle the crowd really good. I mean, he's stocked the stage and everything like that. He'd be really good at it, greg. And Greg's like it's my band, no, wow.
Speaker 3:It was brutal dude. Damn Greg, have a heart. I know, man. You killed a guy's dream.
Speaker 2:It was destroyed right there. I think you got the last laugh.
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah.
Speaker 3:He's pushing paper somewhere, and you were on the radio.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I ended up having a million and a half listeners and he ended up with male pattern baldness.
Speaker 3:There you go. Yeah, that'll teach you to say no.
Speaker 2:Victory is mine, hey Kev. I want to share this with you.
Speaker 3:Please.
Speaker 2:If I could. Oh, by the way, before we do that, just want to thank our good friends at Air Innovations.
Speaker 3:Absolutely. Thanks guys.
Speaker 2:Air Innovations taking care of Houstonians. We're in that zone right now. You've got to make sure that your AC unit is ready for the war and battle. It's going to fight for the next six to seven months. I mean, we got a little taste of it last week in the 80s and everything like that. It's going to be in there again. It's going to be mid-80s 90s before you know it, and your AC unit is still probably reeling a little bit from what they're calling an AC unit world. They're calling the War of 2023.
Speaker 3:I remember those days and it brings up something that I read the other day. Tim is that the South and Southwest will be hotter this year. It's projected to be hotter this year than it was last year.
Speaker 2:You're kidding. That was all. It was. Record breaking heat. Now you're ready.
Speaker 3:You're ready for more records. What that means is get your AC service now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're standing by. They got the technicians ready to do a preventative maintenance on it. It's very inexpensive to do a preventative maintenance, just to make sure your AC unit is ready for the War of 2024.
Speaker 3:And that's the official TV package.
Speaker 2:War of 2024.
Speaker 3:So we're a fighting country.
Speaker 2:Also keep in mind if you don't end up doing the preventative maintenance any time during the summer, you have any issues whatsoever. Just remember in your mind air innovations, air innovations, air innovations. Why? Because, kevin, they are available 24 hours a day. They have technicians that'll go there in the middle of the night to make sure you're up and ready when it's 105 degrees the next day, which you want. It's very dangerous here in Houston, so make sure you're smart about it. Air innovations take care of Houstonians since 2005. Take care of the community. Thank you to Air Innovations for that. Kevin Klein.
Speaker 3:Yes, sir.
Speaker 2:I did something last week that I almost didn't do, but it's one of those things where it's like you almost just completely abandon it and you're glad afterwards that you didn't, because it worked out.
Speaker 3:I can't wait to hear what you did.
Speaker 2:It was 10 PM on Wednesday evening and to settle down, I'll get on my phone, hop on Facebook and I never look at these. The suggested friends thing. They suggest friends. Yes, I came across this lady who I don't know whatsoever. I don't know anything about her whatsoever, never heard of her, not even sure why she's on my friends thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:And.
Speaker 2:I just kind of stopped. Now I sent you a few pictures of her. Oh, ok, ok, yes, you see her, very lovely lady. So obviously the attractiveness is there.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:But I just had just this feeling. I mean, kev, we're in Texas Attractive women Dima does I mean. But there was something about her that just made me like throw a DM together and I just don't do this stuff. So I DMed her, I and I basically said hey, I swear I never do this, but you came up on my friend's role and I just have this feeling about you like a vibe, like I should get to know you. So I decided to press the button. After typing this, I said if you're in a relationship I was very, very cool about it I said, if you are in a relationship, I apologize. I salute to whoever has your heart and I'll move down the road. If you aren't, I'm interested in getting to know you.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 2:Well, she replied, she did. Yeah, she replied and was very, very cool about how I went about it and everything like that. But by the way, just sending that DM right there my son Jonas. When I had lunch with him yesterday I told him about it. He said, dad, you got so much Riz, it's unbelievable Riz. So I went along with I was like, yes, son, I am Riz guy.
Speaker 3:You know what Riz is right.
Speaker 2:Well, I had to look it up later.
Speaker 3:It's short for charisma.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 3:The ability to charm yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you knew that right away.
Speaker 3:I did.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, because it was the 2023 award of the year.
Speaker 2:Shit man, I did not get that email.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, I only remember because I was outraged. It's not even a word.
Speaker 2:I don't remember the award ceremony where RIZZ got up from the audience and went up to the podium and said, thank you. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3:I don't remember.
Speaker 2:Thank you for recognizing my Riz, but anyway you said, dad, that's serious, riz, what you did there. I mean that is wow. And I was like, oh yeah, that's cool, yeah, I mean. So she responded and we had a lot of texts back and forth and everything like that. You know, I guess it's a big deal when you switch from the DM on Facebook and exchange numbers and start texting.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh Sure.
Speaker 2:Now I haven't heard from her in a while. Maybe I shouldn't have told her I loved her after only three days and we still have not met in person yet. I mean, oh, you haven't met yet. I'm just kidding, I'm totally joking about that. We met on Saturday and she is awesome, oh cool, she's awesome. I mean, let me get the Kev. Yeah, let me tell you the coolness of this. She's very intelligent, she's an entrepreneur, she has her own business Actually, she has two different businesses and she's really smart. And we text a lot and you know, one of the things I do is I text those getting to know you questions. Being in radio, we interview people all the time and I'm, you know, that guy Right, so I texted her. I asked her hey, if you could be any animal for one day, what would it be? And then, in the same text, I said also what would your warning label say?
Speaker 3:That's so loaded.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. So she replied and I have it right here. She says dolphins are smart. They get high for fun and have sex for fun Definitely the animal lifestyle. And then she said as far as the warning label, that probably have to state that there's a 90% chance that I'm going to forget whatever has been said. My memory is shit. Wow, is what she said. And I replied when she said that text, or I said well, I hope you never forget that time you told me you wish we were both dolphins.
Speaker 3:What was their reply on that one? She laughed, yeah, of course.
Speaker 2:Hey, kevin, and that's a good response. Just because I'm in the whole stand up comedy writing mode, everything that I look at right now is I'm trying to be, I'm trying to write comedy lines, sure.
Speaker 3:I get that.
Speaker 2:Because I'm in that zone right now of I'm trying to put together punch lines. I'm basically trying to punch line everything.
Speaker 3:If you're not in that zone 24-7, then you're not really practicing. And the brain is a muscle and the more you work it out, the more creative it gets.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, I don't blame you for doing that at all.
Speaker 2:And another example of this and I got to tell you this is you know that I've told you this, that I do cardio every day. I got to lean out just a little bit. I'm going to be shooting a TV show. I'm hosting a TV show beginning in April, so probably about six weeks from now. So I got to get in good TV shape.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:And I'm doing my fast cardio. It's a fast walk, so I come upon people and groups of people all the time from behind them and there were two ladies, probably mid-20s, late-20s, that were walking together and I guess I was really ninja, because when I came upon them they freaked out like frightened. You know, it was just before dark, hit, it was at dusk. So they were freaked out and I immediately wanted to calm them and let them know everything was going to be okay. So I said to him I said, hey look, I'm not a serial killer, I'm not a murderer, I'm not here to kill you.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then they got to look at me and I was, you know sweat dripping shirt off, kind of thing, and I'm looking okay, even for an older guy and they looked at each other and then looked at me and said, well, if you do kill us, can you rape us first? No, I swear they said that and they were laughing, oh wow.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So, me being in standup comedy writing mode, I immediately said well, too bad, I'm going to kill you and then have sex with your corpse.
Speaker 3:Wow, Very uplifting conversation you had right out of the gate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I actually didn't say that to them because I didn't want police called.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I let them get that whole flying in and let it go. But you know, as a standup comedian mind that I have right now. I'm just thinking of the wine.
Speaker 3:No, it's one of my favorite things to do. I call it Tim Rofelia.
Speaker 2:I got a tag here. I'm just going to stand here on the street corner and just rattle off a five minute chunk. Just stay right there, ladies. I know it's getting dark, I know it's getting dark and I'm six, two, two oh five, and you're two fatigued, but everything's going to be okay.
Speaker 3:Have you had this situation come up before, where you're passing people and you're startling them?
Speaker 2:Yes, all the time.
Speaker 3:Can I help you out with that?
Speaker 2:You want me to put a bell on my neck?
Speaker 3:No, no, no, no. All you have to do is, as you're approaching them, just say speed walker on the left or runner on the left, that's it. And then, when you get up past them, just say didn't want to startle you, and then just go on. Okay see, always pass on the left and always say speed runner, speed walker, runner.
Speaker 2:And that's what I did. I passed on the left, but I didn't know that that's an etiquette thing. I mean Kevin Klein, for those unaware runs like 90 miles a week, 120 miles a week or whatever. So this happens with you all the time.
Speaker 3:All the time.
Speaker 2:And you're supposed to just let them know that you're there. Yep. So you don't scare them or so they don't like do a quick mace move on you, because that would be the worst.
Speaker 3:That would be. Yeah, that would ruin a run.
Speaker 2:Because, hey, let's face it, everybody these days are watching true crime on Netflix and true crime stuff and everybody's freaked out a little bit.
Speaker 3:Oh hell, you're in Texas. Conceal, conceal, that would suck.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, oh, my God, that would suck. I'm just trying to get the calories off, just trying to bust out a sweat, and somebody fills me up with three in the midsection and I'm like, hey, I got kids.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, this sucks. I swear I wasn't going to kill you. Oh, wait a minute. You're hot, can you write me?
Speaker 3:Jeez, what a world, what a world. What's wrong with me, cav? No, it's not you.
Speaker 2:Everything's got to be comedy. Yeah, what's?
Speaker 3:wrong with me? I give new girl three months.
Speaker 2:Oh, you know, Cav, I am really. This is one that I kind of want to hang with. Ok, like this is one that I'm seeing could go a long distance, wow.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean have you ever?
Speaker 2:I mean, obviously you've been the same woman for 30 years, but where everything lines up, you guys have so much in common, it's unbelievable. Like Cav, she loves Pink Floyd. Nice yeah. That's a good one, she loves Pink Floyd. I mean she is very smart, very quick-witted, very heady.
Speaker 3:Athletic.
Speaker 2:Athletic, as you can see from the pictures, very athletic.
Speaker 3:It's the gym. You guys could hit the gym together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just a yoga guru type thing. I mean she is like amazing, so the healthy lifestyle. Both don't drink hardly and when we do, it's maybe a little Cabernet Sauvignon OK, here and there. So there's so many parallelisms. I was like, ok, this, yeah, it was like I was supposed to be the guy with Riz and make that DM.
Speaker 3:I always say there's really no coincidence. Things happen for a reason.
Speaker 2:Do you really believe that?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I do actually.
Speaker 2:I believe everything is a puzzle and everything is supposed to happen the way it is happening, even the most hardcore pain that you feel is supposed to happen, to either test you, make you stronger for another challenge that's coming up or something like that. I mean, I believe in the same thing. You do Nothing To me. It's not random.
Speaker 3:It can't be. It can't be. There's too many signs that lead you to believe that this was meant to be and what you're talking about with the tragedies. I had my friend, joe Martinez, who's the UFC cage announcer. He's very spiritual and I asked him. I said well, ok, then why does tragedy happen if God is so loving? And he said then how else would you be able to appreciate the other stuff that happens if you don't experience hardcore pain or tragedy every once in a while?
Speaker 2:I was just telling Audrey that and she had made a post. Audrey has a new podcast.
Speaker 3:I know I listened to it. I want to talk about that.
Speaker 2:Oh OK.
Speaker 3:She's good man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she is. So I mean, can you believe the poise for 22 years old? Yeah, yeah, I mean just amazing. And again, I've told you this for a long time my kids will far outdo anything that I have ever done and I've had a successful life.
Speaker 3:As a parent. That's what you hope, though.
Speaker 2:Yes, you know, I want you to be better than what I was, and they are much better like up and down, like from Audrey down to Timmy. I mean, just these four kids will kill whatever I've done.
Speaker 3:Well, that's why I said, when you posted that you were getting a creative itch, I said you should do a morning show with your daughter. You know she's the most talented total in the world. She has the talent.
Speaker 2:That's what's funny. But I mean she's like squeaky clean, sweet, nice, and you know, yeah, I mean if we were on your shoulders she would be the good one going oh, don't be nice, be cool, everything's fine, do the right thing. And I'd be like get her, get her, it's fun.
Speaker 3:Feels good, you know, but therein would lie the show, right in the middle.
Speaker 2:Right, right. But anyway, I told her that last week in a post I said how can you ever truly celebrate your victories if you've never had defeat?
Speaker 3:So true.
Speaker 2:It makes it so much sweeter. I mean, and Kevin Klein, the best example that we have. After Michael Jordan won his first NBA championship in 1991, after seven years in the NBA, and they were just saying, hey, you're just a circus act, somebody that can dunk and score a lot of points, you'll never win a title. And when he won it, he's on the floor crying and holding the trophy and his dad is consoling him. I mean that right, there is the display of you lose so much and then when you do finally have a victory, it's sweet you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 2:It made me wonder why Tom Brady was so good. Because he's so used to winning. It's nothing to him, and Mahomes is getting in that zone right now too.
Speaker 4:Right.
Speaker 2:Do they appreciate the victory as much after that much success? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I think they do appreciate it and I think they have a different way of appreciating it. Hey, I'm one more step closer to my goal. I'm one more step closer to my goal. I think that's where the appreciation comes from. I don't think the appreciation anymore comes from the fact that they're winning titles. I'm one step closer to my goal.
Speaker 2:OK, I get that. I get that. Ok, yeah, but yeah, that's nothing. Yeah, nothing is completely random in that way, and I thought I was one of the few that think that Everything is happening for a reason. It's like God has a script and he looks down every so often. He looks at all of his 7.7 billion people he has in his little play and just make sure everybody's staying on script and he'll intervene if you're not on script. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Yes, of course.
Speaker 2:It's like he'll say wait a minute, wait a minute For Kevin Kline. He doesn't have enough pain yet. He's going too high, he's going to doing too well. Let's knock him down a little bit so he appreciates it when down the road, where we have in the script, where he's victorious, you know what.
Speaker 3:I'm saying yeah, and I've also looked at it like I'm experiencing this pain because somewhere down the road I'm going to experience something really, really good and I've got to be able to appreciate it even more. Yeah, that's kind of what I've always gone through.
Speaker 2:And it's another reason why I really believe in karma equal deposits, equal withdrawals. I believe in that. You know, like the Beatles, the love you take is equal to the love you make. I believe that if you do screwed up things and mess with people, that eventually down the road the universe gets you.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 2:And you actually want it during this lifetime. You want it to be evened out because you don't want to take a negative balance into the next life. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I know exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 2:Because that's why you, that's how you come back as a dung beetle, or that's how you get buggered by Hitler in hell for eternity. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3:Yes, exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 2:You want to have a positive balance in that thing, and I've, admittedly done some things in my life where I was in a negative balance for a while, but, boy, I'm glad that I'd evened out. The universe and God are just like, well, you're going to pay for that, tim, and he made me pay, yeah. So think about your life is do I have a negative karma balance? Do I have a positive karma balance? If you have a negative balance, you need maybe to do some things to get positive, get back in the black on the ledger, because you don't want to take that into the next world.
Speaker 3:How would ACDC describe that right there?
Speaker 2:Back in black. Yes, hit the sack. It sounds. Good to me Sounds great. And my earbuds Kev. It sounds like Brian Johnson.
Speaker 3:Yeah, earbuds might need to be replaced. Well, you're a jerk. That's negative karma, right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you've got some paying to do Kevin Glyne. Speaking of which Kev, another one of our really good people who have our back is Chris. He's the owner of Home Video Rescue and he absolutely loved what we did last week. He really enjoyed it. The fact that we're getting the word out about people who have very precious and priceless belongings in their closet in their garage somewhere, and that is a decaying asset that needs to be addressed as soon as it possibly can.
Speaker 3:I wish this service that Chris provides would have been around in 1992. And I say that because when I worked in college radio in the 90s, we recorded on VHS All right. Well, in 1992, one of my roommates decided, oh, I need to record this program. So he just popped in my first ever airshift and recorded over it on a VHS tape. I will. I'll never have that back. Ok, and if Chris's service would have been around and I would have known about Chris in 1992, that all could have been avoided, because you can't overwrite digital.
Speaker 2:That's terrible.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I couldn't confront him because he was a professional bodybuilder at the time and now he's serving a life sentence for Merck Right? He's just up the road from you, Tim, in Huntsville. Is he really? Oh yeah. Yeah, he's never getting out.
Speaker 2:Wow, ok, so you let it slide on that one. Yeah, that's. That's funny. You should say that Kev, because we had on home video on tape Audrey's birth, which was born in 2001. I did a lot of filming, you know, not inappropriate stuff, didn't flash to the wrong things. But, you know, a short time after that her mom taped over that and it was gone.
Speaker 4:I mean all these birth was.
Speaker 2:So you're right. I mean, basically, chris and home video rescue can handle all of the different mediums that are, you know, basically decaying and wilting in your closet, including VHS, beta 8mm, a bunch of different ones. As a matter of fact, we have in our description the website link If you want to check out all the details on how you can turn your precious memories into something permanent, turn it into digital, before it withers away to nothing. I mean, the clock is running. You got all that stuff. You know you got. You got the. You got the time. You did the tight rope thing when you were seven years old, from roof to roof in the neighborhood and you fell down about 15 feet and it's on VHS and you've always wanted to show your friends that moment. But you know you can't because you don't. Nobody has a VHS anymore and this is your opportunity to do it. Home video rescue, they'll take good care of you. Also. Good friends of the Tuttle and Client podcast.
Speaker 3:Thanks, Chris.
Speaker 2:Thank you very much, chris Kev. I sent you this last week and I definitely want your perspective on it.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 2:Because you always have interesting takes. Steve Harvey did an interview. The comedian Steve Harvey, yes, the show host. He did an interview and the interviewer basically asked if you know he has any female friends.
Speaker 4:All of my friends are men. I don't have female friends. I don't. I'm incapable of that. Why? What do you mean? Well, because you know. Come on. Because you have a wife.
Speaker 4:Well, I have a wife and I don't I don't really have female friends because look, ok, let's get rid of this. I want to know why. Ok, I'm going to tell you this, let's get rid of this. Right there, you're an attractive woman. There's some guy somewhere saying, yeah, we're friends, no, that's not true. He's your friend only because you have made it absolutely clear that nothing else is happening except this friendship we have. We remain your friends in hopes that one day there'll be a crack in the door, a chink in the armor, and trust and believe that guy that you think is just your buddy. He will slide in that crack the moment he gets the opportunity. Because we're guys.
Speaker 4:You guys don't think this way. 99.9% of us think that way, Kevin.
Speaker 2:I believe you probably have the opposite viewpoint.
Speaker 3:I do. The majority of my friends have always been women. Yes, yeah, I married my best friend.
Speaker 3:And we were not we when Trish and I were, when we met honestly and people don't don't really believe this we were friends before, like. We were like solid friends before anything. And why I proposed to her was because I had gotten a job transfer and I was due to leave for Denver, colorado, in three days and as the third day got closer, I'm like, man, I can't leave without my friend. You know, we were, we were not romantic then. I'm like I can't leave without my friend.
Speaker 2:Hold on, hold on a second. So you got a gig and she's working in.
Speaker 3:Springfield. At the radio station in Springfield.
Speaker 2:OK, this is. I did not even know this. So you guys have never been dating or anything physical or anything like that.
Speaker 3:Nope, nothing nothing. Yeah, and I'm like I can't leave without my friend, and she was raised staunch Catholic. You're not living with a guy unless you're engaged, married, that kind of stuff. And I just said, and if I feel this way, I can't. I just got to propose and so I did.
Speaker 2:Wow, you, you propose. I didn't see, I didn't know this either. You had never been with her intimately, nope, and you proposed her. Yeah, that's, that's. That's that's how. Hold on a second. I just got to tag you. That's a lot of res.
Speaker 3:Well it's. It's really not, though, because and I think this is why we've lasted 30 years because we went in with with no romantic expectations. You know, we weren't trying to impress each other, we were just ourselves, and I just knew that that was what I needed in my life.
Speaker 2:In all honesty and thinking about it, that's probably the best way to do it If you want a long, lasting relationship.
Speaker 3:I bought.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking about my, my last four. I've basically been in four like serious relationships in the last 30 years of my life.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 2:Number one. We did it Messed around. The very first time I met her.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 2:Second one messing around at work. Third one About, about third date.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 2:And fourth one about the first time I saw her In person.
Speaker 3:Wow OK. So, that you may have some risk.
Speaker 2:Hold on a second, so you may have something there. Sir, it worked for me and this one that I got going on right now, you know I'm I'm, I'm a slow walk, this thing, ok, I'm like, like, even if she's like day Kev. You know what I you know I am in the end of may end up doing is just like complete. Oh no, no, I don't want to. I don't want to. You know, even when she's like, if she's like all over me, you're like nah, can't do it, you got to be yourself.
Speaker 3:That, that's not you. You got to be yourself.
Speaker 2:You know, and that's what I'm getting at is but if I, if I'm myself, I've already blown it. Maybe not you know, yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3:Maybe, not.
Speaker 2:We both are very similarly thinking. So there you go, but I can't.
Speaker 3:I mean, and I guess, going back to what we said, those previous four relationships, that's what you had to go through to find maybe this one True To go to go the distance.
Speaker 2:Exactly the learning about myself in the aftermath, you know, of failed relationships. It's like you know and I've done that with the meditating it's just like what did I do wrong there? And I went through it and I was like, ok, you can't do that again. I mean, I literally have a checklist in my head we're not going to do that again. We're not going to do that again. We're going to maybe go that direction If something comes up in the future, and I'm definitely never going to do that again. You know what I'm saying, I know.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I have a you know, it's not a written down list, but a list in my head of shit that I'm never going to do again. Yeah, but yeah, I, I, I. When I heard Steve Harvey, I was like, well, he's totally right, you know you had a saying growing up.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you want to share that saying, but I was, you know when I was, when I was a teenager and you know early twenties. I mean, there were two types of women Women I wanted to have sex with and women I didn't talk to, and I'm not proud of that. And I've come a long way since then. Uh huh, yeah, like literally, I'll talk to a couple others. You know, customer service cashiers. I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding you. You can't, kev. It is impossible as an evolving human to maintain that kind of viewpoint Anything past teens and early twenties. You can't, you can't, you cannot maintain that.
Speaker 3:No, Huh, it's always been funny when I when I heard you say that though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you know we have social media now and everybody can talk to everybody and go and he is a total dick.
Speaker 3:You know. So, yeah, yeah, it gets around, it gets around even faster now.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I think to a to a point, to a certain degree. I don't know if it's 99.9%, but it's up there in a majority I don't know 75, maybe 80%, where, if you're an attractive woman and you you think you have a guy friend, I mean he is waiting. He is like, hey man, I'm cool being your friend, but if you, if you know you get dumped and you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm going to my pants, are going to my ankles too. That's how a lot of guys think a lot, not all, I do not think that.
Speaker 3:Um, in fact, like I said, the majority of my friends are women and my concert buddies are all women, except now. Jeff is one of my top concert buddies, so I guess I got to throw Jeff in there and he's not a woman. But yeah, and if my wife doesn't want to go to a concert with me she doesn't like the band She'll be like hey call Morgan, hey call Mary. See if they'll go with you.
Speaker 2:Oh really.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, Yep, and so she's a saint, she's amazing dude.
Speaker 2:She is a great woman. Yeah, thanks, man, if you got. If you got somebody like, uh, like Kevin's wife, that has your back, I mean, she's working hard to cover you and take care of you, and then that's that's amazing. A salute to you. Um, which leads us to the big, a big question that, uh, that I have Kev uh. For those unaware, uh, kevin Klein last week professed his love for love uh to his lady, saying he wouldn't even take a playboy playmate over her.
Speaker 3:Yep, that's what I said. I said as beautiful as Karen McDougal, playmate of the year, is. That's how beautiful my wife is on the inside and how much I love her and I'm not going anywhere because I can't breathe without her which, by the way, you said it should be a song. I remember it wasn't Billy Ocean. I can dream about you, I can dream about you. I can dream about you. Yes, okay, well.
Speaker 2:I can't breathe without you, yeah, yeah you, you're already writing a parody song.
Speaker 3:No, I just that came to mind while I was thinking about this Wait a minute, Is that?
Speaker 2:is that, uh, Billy Ocean?
Speaker 3:It might not be, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know if that's Billy Ocean. I remember that from some soundtrack Eddie and the cruisers. It's from that soundtrack.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:You know the, you know the song, where they are on the dog side.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, john Capri and the Beaver Brown Band.
Speaker 2:That's it, john Capri and the Beaver Brown Band. And I can dream about you is another song on that soundtrack.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:It was impeccable memory by a black band in the movie.
Speaker 3:Okay, I, I again. I don't remember the who did it. I thought it might have been Billy, but probably not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so, um, I thought that and everybody thought I mean Kev. I have a bunch of people that have DM me and told me in person that they thought that that was a precious moment, that you declared your love for Trish in that way, Um, but she didn't give you the reaction you thought you were going to get.
Speaker 3:No, no, she did not. We're sitting on the couch and we're watching the episode and I can't wait for her to hear this. You know I say it to her every once in a while, but like I'm professing it to Timmy T.
Speaker 2:And thousands and thousands and thousands of podcast listeners.
Speaker 3:After we get done watching the entire episode, I look at her and I'm like what'd you think she goes? How can we didn't tell me you got a message from a playboy, playboy, playmate. I'm like that's what you got out of it. I gave, I described how much I love you and that's what you come away with. I'm like number one.
Speaker 3:I'll tell you why I didn't tell you, because I didn't think it was a big deal, because I figured, like 99% of my celebrity requests, they're thinking that it's my uncle. Why would I even concern you with that? And number two what well, where am I going to meet her? I'm not going anywhere. Where am I going to meet her? She's like well, you always just tell me stuff.
Speaker 2:Kev, basically, is in the middle of nowhere. He lives in the. I mean, Kev, you'd be a great place for you know somebody to hide if they're running from the law. Exactly, If I was ever a fugitive, I'm going to Kevin Klein's place.
Speaker 3:There you go yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, in the middle of the middle of nowhere. Trust me, a playboy playmate is not. Well, I'm just going to meet you over by that tree over there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you see the. You see that Fox TV show Farmer Once a Wife. Yeah, Well, that's suburban compared to where we are.
Speaker 2:Kev, even from prison Ted consists. He's like, hey, that's a great place to live, that's right. The unabomber's going to. I should have done that, kev. Exactly they never would have found me.
Speaker 3:But can you believe that that's what she took away from that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, I know you gave her a soft moment and she shoved it right down your throat, but it's the same woman who says gay, call Morgan, she's 26.
Speaker 3:Take her to a concert, she says she's 26. Well, when Morgan and I were going to concerts when we were living in Houston yeah, Morgan will be 30 later on this year, in October.
Speaker 2:Gotcha.
Speaker 3:But yeah, she's here. I'll call Morgan for you. I'll call Mary for you.
Speaker 2:Oh my.
Speaker 3:God. So that's either how much she trusts me or hates my music.
Speaker 2:Or just think he is such a geek and nerdy has no shot whatsoever.
Speaker 3:Well, that's. Probably it too.
Speaker 2:I mean she would probably like dig on him or something and he's so clueless he would have no idea what's going on. Nothing. Hey, let's go get some nachos. She's like kissing Kevin's neck. Hey, let's go get some nachos, yeah. Oh, by the way, did you ever find out what Karen McDougal, the Playboy Playmate from 1998, I think it was did you ever find out what you want?
Speaker 3:No, I have not found out what she wanted, but I do know that she checked out my LinkedIn profile after she sent me the message.
Speaker 2:Well, did you? Did she want to connect?
Speaker 3:Well, we did connect.
Speaker 2:We're, we're, we're so you're now friends, yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean we connected on LinkedIn. I don't think that means we're friends. I think it just means that you know if she needs, if she has a business need for maybe a voiceover or something like that, which I can't imagine she wouldn't have come to me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you have to do this.
Speaker 3:Yes, please.
Speaker 2:Yes, you got to send her a DM, okay, and say I swear I never do this. But you, I have this feeling about you, a vibe like we should know each other. You should totally do that.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:All right, I will, I will. Um, yeah, I love that. Okay, hey, kev, yeah, uh, thank you very much again. Uh, you have been pivotal in uh me developing my standup comedy act. Uh, I'm confident now that I have five good minutes, a tight five, where I can begin to go on stage, and I'm looking to do it for sure, this week Are you going to bring the new girl?
Speaker 2:Oh no, she I even. I talked about it like asked about it when we hung out on Saturday and I said, hmm, not initially, oh really the last thing I wanted. I think one of the reasons why I had some issues back in 2019 is because my then girlfriend, laura, was with me on.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Like, like you know, sometimes you just got to go handle some things in a loan initially, but she, she brought that up. She goes oh, I got to, I got to come in, I got to, I got to watch that. You know, you know, and I'm like well, let me make sure that I have good material first. The last thing I want to do is take a dump on stage in front of the, uh, the woman who, uh, I'm, I'm talking to, and just starting something out with. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:It was good to have a friendly face in the crowd, though, bro.
Speaker 2:I know, but I would probably have Audrey and Jonas there before her at this point.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Because the last thing I want to, I'd want to do is you know, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:I love the fact that she's already thinking that way I got, I'm going, let's go.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I love that, I mean. So she's thinking, hey, we're vibing too, you know, obviously right, right. So I think that's cool, but I have, um, I have the uh tight five. I actually sent you what I'm thinking, yeah, and.
Speaker 3:I do like the way that you have constructed it. I haven't read it all. I just saw that you had constructed it a little differently than what we had talked about, and I think that you've got it right. You're, you're.
Speaker 2:you're reason for starting with Percy is absolutely right yeah, like like when, when you go to do uh um open mics or anytime you're doing a comedy situation where they specifically aren't paying to see you. I mean, if they're paying to see uh, tim Tuttle, then I can finish with my best stuff right. But when you're in one of these situations and you're at war, you've got to make sure in the first 20 seconds you get a laugh, otherwise you're dead for the other 440. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4:You're dead.
Speaker 3:And and plus the you're, you're going outline of the entire thing. You know, trolling for Unis, that's like. That's like if it's not one a, it's one B. So yeah, so you've. You've got a great book in there.
Speaker 2:Okay, so that book solid and not, you know, I've, I've cut out some stuff and I know you leaned it. I leaned it out just so I you know I'm trying to, every 15 seconds, get a laugh. 20 maximum there's a couple of setups that take me a little longer but every 15 to 20. And bam, bam, bam bam.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:That's perfect.
Speaker 2:Now, because I was working on that uh vigilantly, um, last week I haven't really written a new chunk.
Speaker 3:Okay, I've got some uh outlined stuff and I just I want to run past you if I could, yeah, yeah but like you said, like you said in your email to me, you want to make sure you know this material like the back of your hand, so you really don't need to be working on new material. You need to be honing this and making sure that it's committed to memory.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:And I'm sure that's what you're doing.
Speaker 2:And not not like a thing. I made a mistake the very first time I ever went up. I tried to deliver memorized material.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, uh-uh.
Speaker 2:No, whereas all I need to know are my punch lines and then I craft the setups, just riff them. Sure yeah you know what I'm saying, that, so that I'm going to do that, I'm going to work hard on that and you know, today, tomorrow, and I'm probably going to go up on Wednesday and, yes, I'll record it.
Speaker 4:Sweet.
Speaker 2:And let you all listen.
Speaker 3:Hey, let me ask you this when, when you go do an open market like Rudger, like you said you were going to do, typically, what's the, what's the size of the crowd, or does it completely vary?
Speaker 2:Uh, it varies, Like like one time. The first time I was there was like 15.
Speaker 3:That's pretty good.
Speaker 2:The, the. The second time I was there was like 30.
Speaker 3:Wow Okay.
Speaker 2:Um, and then you know, there was another play I can't remember it, it was and that's the Monday night place. There was a Tuesday night place that I went to that had like 75 people.
Speaker 3:Oh wow, that's, that's a crowd.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so those are the two places that I've done multiple times.
Speaker 3:Are they all comedians waiting to get up on stage? Because that's even more daunting, because comedians are jaded man.
Speaker 2:I would say maybe one out of five you could even categorize as anything close to being a comedian.
Speaker 3:Okay, but they're waiting to get up on stage. Yes, they're trying their hand.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes yes, okay, yes, each night. There's probably about 15 to 20 that are waiting for their five minutes.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, and you saying maybe one in five might be able to consider them or call themselves a comedian. Well, they're going to be even more jaded because they think they know but they don't.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Exactly, that's a tough crowd. Man, that's a tough crowd.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you'll know and I record. I wish I had the recording of the stuff that I'd done before. I did record all of my sets before, okay, and I was analyzing immediately what hit and what didn't hit. I mean, I went through it scientifically what hit, every single joke.
Speaker 3:But you recorded it on VA Chast, you put it in the player and it automatically broke. And now you really wish you would have known, chris.
Speaker 2:Dang it. Home video rescue. I should have had you then, but I have some concepts. Do we have time? I mean, I got a couple of concepts we're rocking man, we're good, okay, and I just want to get your vibe and feel on them. There's one is there's an African guy that I lift with, that I work out with. He's always there.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And you know, we talk every so often about kids and everything like that.
Speaker 3:You spot each other.
Speaker 2:No, but you know what I'll? Because I've had personal trainers when I was, when I was at Equinox, and I have a lot of great programs and he's a little rudimentary with his stuff and I'll show him new exercises and tell him about form and everything like that Cool. So I've helped him in that way and then he's helped me get a perspective on America.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Because he basically he said to me last week he goes. You Americans you're afraid of clowns and high bridges and commitment. You know, because I used to have to run from lions and tigers and shit. Did he really Okay, so he oh, wow, yeah, he like, he like laughs when he sees and hears about our phobias, like with clowns.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh, yeah, you're not a big fan.
Speaker 2:I'm not not the hugest fan and you know, and, uh, you know, he's like. When I was in Africa I almost got killed three times a week. No bullshit to me. Three times a week you get killed. I mean, you would just be walking down and there you would see in the brush, the brush would move and you just know, hey, this could be it.
Speaker 3:Nope, I'm moving.
Speaker 2:Yeah and um, it's so funny because the next day I mean it all sealed up and I'm like he is so right because a spider crawled out from under my couch, a big like big, nasty, hairy one, and it caused me to make it the weirdest noise that I have ever made. I mean, kevin, I'm embarrassed to do it, but I have to let you know the noise that I made.
Speaker 4:I've heard you that noise.
Speaker 3:I've heard you make that noise before, but never in a startled. It was always as a mocking kind of noise.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I'm. Just as soon as I did that, I thought of my African friend, his name's Oscar. I thought of Oscar. I was like, oh my God, he is so right. You know, I mean, here I am, I lift a lot, but they're just show muscles, that's all they are. I'm soft and I'm weak. I just, I just literally made that noise with a, with a spider. That is no threat to me at all, none, yeah. And I'm also thinking to myself, my ancestors. They're turning in their graves.
Speaker 3:Of course they are.
Speaker 2:They are. I'm a director of the center. He was like in 10 duels. Yeah, he was like in duels where they're shooting at you. You know, and he killed Alexander Hamilton. You know he's in duels and you know I got tunnels that are war heroes, I mean, you know off around history.
Speaker 3:Oh, your brother, your brother.
Speaker 2:Todd Black Hawk helicopter pilot. You know he did tours and he's a hero and he's phenomenal and you know I've had like farmers of 300 acres you know in the ancestry of course and tell they fucked up and bet the farm.
Speaker 3:That's right and lost.
Speaker 2:Thinking Joe Lewis is going to get his butt kicked. Anyway, that's another story. You know that story and I'm like that, literally. I look at my, my, my tree and my sister's done a great job checking the genealogy out. I mean there's alpha males everywhere and I hear a noise. I hear, I mean I see a spider and I make a noise.
Speaker 3:It's kind of a kind of a cross between Michael Jackson and in in mocking Klein. It's terrible.
Speaker 2:But anyway, I have a developed specific setups and punches for that. But that's the. That's the next. That's a chunk I want to put together.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, that there's. There's definitely some bones there to work with.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And one other thing, and then we'll be done with the standup this week. That I kind of threw a pasture and again it's very rudimentary, it's just an idea. You've seen those pictures of presidents when they take office for the first time, at their inauguration and then their last day as president.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And the years put on. I mean Obama, all of them just completely gray. They have bags like like. They have like like sacks potato sacks underneath their eyes, you know, oh yeah. Yeah. And I'm just, I'm just thinking, you know those, those guys, they need to have more fun. You know presidents need to do stuff. You know, like like just show up at random places and freak people out.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like, for example, like, like, if, like you're, you're just you're minding your own business. You're in the farmer's market, you're buying some local honey, and then the president just shows up and goes, hey, how you doing, and just to freak out everybody in the farmer's market, you know, and just you know, just clown around and have a good time and you know, put on a show and whatever, and then just get in his little Air Force, one helicopter and bail.
Speaker 3:Air Force one is the plane, marine one would be the helicopter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean can you? Climb your red pen and me what a dick. Thank you for the red pen, no I. What we want on this, on this podcast, is 100% accuracy. We want everything to be 100% accurate.
Speaker 3:We've always been about that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know, kev, you're taking your kids. It's a laser tag. And so the president shows up and it's laser tagging with you and your family.
Speaker 3:At 81 years old. You really want your leader Kev.
Speaker 2:I'm talking about real presidents. Oh wow, I'm talking ones that are actually elected.
Speaker 3:Oh, I'm sorry, great, there goes our listenership.
Speaker 2:Oh shoot, god dang it, god dang it Kev. You dragged me in, you set me up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I set him up.
Speaker 2:You set me up? No, no, I think that'd just be funny as hell. Is you know, just like a president starts shooting at your laser tag and having fun with your family. And how many?
Speaker 3:times have you and I after a president gets out of office. We love their personality after they get out of office.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:It's like if you could just act that way in office.
Speaker 2:While you're president.
Speaker 3:While you're president.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, wouldn't it be cool like a sitting president, kev, you're at your 28th Cannibal Corp show and you're getting into it and suddenly you look over and the president's like bobbing his head up and down with you Exactly, that'd be awesome. And then, just like five minutes, and he gets in his little helicopter and he bails. Yeah, I think the president should do crap like that more often.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, look at what Clinton did. He used to go into McDonald's and order McDonald's all the time. That always made news, always made news.
Speaker 2:And everybody loved Bill Clinton before they found out through what he really is, but when he was a president they loved him. Even a lot of Republicans are like ah, he's a cool guy.
Speaker 3:He was a great orator.
Speaker 2:Kev, we're not going to go into the Epstein Island stuff, okay.
Speaker 3:I knew it.
Speaker 2:Stop it, stop it, don't drag me into your hell.
Speaker 3:I won't, I won't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was thinking about that as a concept, developing that whole idea as a chunk.
Speaker 3:I would do this. If you're going to develop that as a chunk, think of like two places where it would be kind of weird to see the president, but not completely abnormal, you know like it possibly could happen. And then the third one's just got to be like totally random.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3:Like the third place.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:It came over to the little league field, came over to some in the movie theater and then some at the bunny ranch. Yeah, I was like that.
Speaker 2:And he said it's all on me and pulled out his credit card. I got to write that one down.
Speaker 3:There you go.
Speaker 2:I love it. Okay, All right, so I'm glad. I'm glad I got that down. I'm excited about exercising the the tight five and seeing where I'm at. So that's good stuff. Anything else happening? Kevin Klein.
Speaker 3:Well, I am curious about something that you sent in the in the show prep thing You're too youngest or breaking mom's heart. Timmy and Dal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, you know, timmy and Dallas, my, my two half Mexican children, could be breaking their mom's heart, Obviously, you know, with me being whiter than white. I mean, look at my ancestry right here, kev, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm a little out of color.
Speaker 2:Have you ever seen a more white human being before in your life? No, but, but anyway, you know, their mom is their mom's Mexican, so they're half Mexican. And I passed by a Mexican restaurant on the way to dropping them off at home. It's one that's right down the street from where they live and I asked, I asked the boys well, you know how is that place? Is that place any good? And Timmy and Dal, they go. No, we don't like it. I was like wait a minute, you two are half Mexican. That's the only Mexican place. And Timmy goes. Well, I think that place is for full Mexicans.
Speaker 3:Well, there's his addition to your comedy routine, right there.
Speaker 2:Is that another tip? Do I have another, jimmy? Oh my God.
Speaker 3:Yes, that's gold.
Speaker 2:And and and Kev. You know Dallas. His like real legal first name is Dallas Cowboys Uh-huh Um. He has a favorite football team and he wants their jerseys and he loves our logo because it's the same color. He is a Miami Dolphin fan, a Dolphins fan. He hates the Cowboys.
Speaker 3:Oh wow, oh wow.
Speaker 2:His mama named him Dallas Cowboys for a reason.
Speaker 3:Yeah, her favorite, unbelievable.
Speaker 2:So I Kev, I yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, I used to love the Miami Dolphins because of their colors too. It was the first bathrobe I ever wore the Miami Dolphins, are you?
Speaker 2:serious.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, got it for Christmas one year.
Speaker 2:I I'll tell you this I loved watching Marino. I don't care what anybody says, I mean he was the best like at passing I've ever seen. Yeah, he was one. I know he was only at one Super Bowl and he only he lost his second year. But that guy right there, Dan Marino was was physically the greatest quarterback, Unbelievable release, so accurate it's unbelievable. I mean, if he had any kind of defense he would have won multiple Super Bowls because he put up the numbers, yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, they had a running back in Larry Zonka. I mean they, they were well, they went 17-0.
Speaker 2:17-0 back in 73.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Of course Dan Marino at the time was in third grade at that time.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We're not going to mix the eras up.
Speaker 3:No, no, no See, that's he's. He's great on years.
Speaker 2:I suck, yeah I mean, I'm not going to mix it up because it involves numbers. Right, I keep your numbers, yeah, and I'm just. I don't want to be critical, but Dan Marino was a seventh grader at a Pittsburgh elementary school at that time.
Speaker 3:Okay, but he did have Mark Clayton and Mark Dupre.
Speaker 2:They were on.
Speaker 3:They were on his team.
Speaker 2:Yes, they were phenomenal. Yeah, you do remember that and I can't they. I cannot remember their go-to running back. It wasn't Mercury Morris, that was again before him, but I can't remember they had a decent running back too. That was a good safety belt Anyway. So yeah, that's how they're breaking. Mom's heart is Mexi. They don't like Mexican food.
Speaker 3:And. Dow doesn't like his name.
Speaker 2:And they don't like the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3:Oh, he's not alone in that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:A lot of people don't like them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, but they say a lot of people love them too.
Speaker 3:So oh, yeah, yeah, a lot of people claim to.
Speaker 2:I've been to one of their games Thanksgiving day and, yeah, trust me, they have a following.
Speaker 3:Did you really go on a Thanksgiving day?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I took my ex to the Thanksgiving day game, not last year, but the season before 2022. Oh, that's cool and they fill that place and people buy that merch Like it's unbelievable and they're fine. They don't care if you hate them or not.
Speaker 3:Well, no, they're. I want to say that they are the highest valued, valued, yeah franchise in the world.
Speaker 2:In the world. Yeah, they're up there. One of the soccer teams, I think from Europe is.
Speaker 3:Manchester United.
Speaker 2:That's it.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like Manchester United and then the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3:So Manchester United, owned by the Glaser family that also owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who just gave Baker Mayfield a hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2:Oh, did they sign him? I didn't know they signed him or not.
Speaker 3:Three years a hundred mil.
Speaker 2:See, now that he got the contract, he'll suck next year. That's how it goes. As soon as they give you, as soon as they give you that guaranteed money, you don't care anymore. You're like I'm not getting hurt.
Speaker 3:You're a math guy and you deal with economics. At what point is it just going to be too much? Can they sustain this kind of growth?
Speaker 2:Kev, they can double it and be okay. That's how much the NFL makes, that's how much these franchises make. Yeah, kev, they can sustain it.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And it'll continue to be that way. But my issue is and I've told you if I was a general manager of an NFL team, when I have a player hitting their Apex, I trade them for whatever I can get from, which is a lot. Imagine taking people like JJ Watt at his zenith and saying I'm not going to sign you to a $200 million deal. We're going to see what we can get. You could get three great players and three great draft picks for JJ Watt at his zenith. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think that kind of Belichick had that theory as well with the majority of his players, not Tom Brady. But let me ask you this though if you're continuously doing that, it's a cycle of you initiating or ingratiating new players into a system.
Speaker 2:Can you win that way? But if the system is good, you got to make sure you have a good system. And to me, Kev, I've always been like control the line of scrimmage. I put all my money into the offensive line and the defensive line, that's it. You put all your money on there.
Speaker 3:Oh, look at where your winners come from.
Speaker 2:Exactly I got lines If you can't throw a pass around your back If you give the guy behind you four or five seconds to go through progressions. A lot more quarterbacks are successful if they have that time. Sure, you know, that's it.
Speaker 4:Totally get it, totally get it.
Speaker 2:I can't believe an NFL team has not hired me as General Manager yet. Yeah, I mean, I'm sitting here talking to you once a week instead of putting together a dynasty. It's sad, it's sad.
Speaker 3:We're only doing this for 90 minutes a week. You could still do both.
Speaker 2:That'd be awesome, wouldn't it? Yeah, and you can help me with some of the deals. Yeah, kev, I got this clown outside line Bakery. He comes up to me and he goes I want 27 million a year. Fuck you, dude.
Speaker 3:And that's why you're not a General Manager.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:This has been fun. Oh my God, dude, it's supposed to blast. I always look forward to Monday.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm having a blast. I mean, I used to hate Monday. We hope that you're having a blast too, that if you're watching on YouTube or you're listening to us on a podcast.

Speaker 3:Well, think about this. It goes back to what we were saying earlier it's good positive karma deposit.
Speaker 2:And a deposit in our account, but that's not why we want you to buy it, which we need to pay expenses. Do you know what these podcast providers charge us?
Speaker 3:That is true.
Speaker 2:I don't know, because Kevin's wife handles all that and she knows.
Speaker 3:That is true. That is true. It is not free for us to do this.
Speaker 2:as a matter of fact, yeah, what do you have coming up on Fuzzy and Mike?
Speaker 3:Something that I mentioned to your daughter, Audrey, because Audrey's podcast called your Hype Girl talks about positive mental affirmations and just being positive overall. I have a guest this week and she escaped a very, very traumatic upbringing and now all her messages is about self empowerment and how to positively think in the light of negativity. It's a really, really interesting, interesting conversation.
Speaker 2:Good deal, all right, so click on the Fuzzy and Mike support Kevin in that way. Anything else happening Announcing any hockey games.
Speaker 3:No hockey season's over what?
Speaker 2:are you going?
Speaker 3:to do. Well, we're helping the team. We're putting together a golf tournament coming up on May 20th, that we're doing that. But I'm going to run and I also get to do what I really, really enjoy doing Timmy, destroying trees. Yes, get to cut down some trees where we started a burn pile yesterday.
Speaker 2:Oh and, by the way, I know a lot of you are like. Well, kevin Klein, he's a sports announcer. You know PA announcer. How does he stay sharp during the off season? He goes down the street when the kids have local games and they have little pickup games and everything like that, and he'll do some play by play before, as long as he can, before a parent comes out and decides to call the police.
Speaker 3:Exactly, I usually get about a quarter in.
Speaker 2:He gets a quarter in and suddenly he's out of there.
Speaker 3:Yep, he's gone.
Speaker 2:All right, Kevin, great stuff.
Speaker 3:Well, I got questions for you.
Speaker 2:Okay, what do you have?
Speaker 3:I'm thinking about going up on stage.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking about going up If I know my material. See, I know what I'm doing now and I got I'm not going to half ass it, man. I'm going to really know this shit and I'm going to act it out and I'm going to kill it.
Speaker 3:What if you ever half-assed anything in 30?
Speaker 2:years. Well, Kevin, if you're twice divorced?
Speaker 3:Oh, that takes two to tango, brother, you know yeah. I'll be on you.
Speaker 2:But if during the tango, one of them is doing a lot of foot stepping, that shit's going down.
Speaker 3:I mean, as far as work ethic goes, you've never, you've never slacked, never slacked.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I'm going to. I think I'm targeting Wednesday night open mic.
Speaker 3:Cool.
Speaker 2:Which is tonight.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely. Well, we record these on Monday, so when we don't want to have muddy our minds up with space time continuum.
Speaker 4:No, so you know.
Speaker 3:so okay, we're going up tonight, so to speak. And then my other question is how many times will you see new girl this week?
Speaker 2:Well, you know it's spring break and you know I got some other stuff to take care of and she's. She's got out of town, guests in and, in regards to her business, she's got to take care of some things in regards to her entrepreneurial venture. I'm hoping that I'll maybe see her one time this week and hang out with her.
Speaker 3:That's a good amount of time.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, okay, kev, you know, with Tim Tuttle it's less is more. I'm your best friend for an hour and a half by, but by about an hour and 45,. You're looking at your fucking watch.
Speaker 3:There you go. There's another thing you could put in your routine.
Speaker 2:I know, kevin, I need to go.
Speaker 3:We record these, obviously, and go back and look and you know, there's about I bet you there's about five things in this, this particular show right here, that you could go back and hone.
Speaker 2:Nice, okay, well, I'll look through it. Usually when I play these things back, though, I'm just, you know, checking out how I look, of course, but I should check some of the words that are being said to, should not.
Speaker 3:Let me tell you, you look the same this week as you did last week, maybe a couple hours younger actually.
Speaker 2:Middle aged, middle aged motherfucker.
Speaker 3:Well, you hid the arms this week, though Last week you had the, the sleeveless on, but I mean, if you're going to hide the arms though it lets up. It's a good reason to do it.
Speaker 2:You can't, you can't go full douche all the time. Wow, I have the only reason I do it, let me. Let me just clarify the only reason you'll ever see me in the sleeveless is cause I'm going to lift right after. Okay. Right, like like today, I've got to go run an errand before I left. Oh but I'm, I'm going to lift, um, if, if you see me in sleeveless, I'm like literally shutting down the podcast and going and lifting.
Speaker 3:Man, I give you credit for me. I'm going to do that, man Cause if I don't get my workout in right at the beginning of the morning. I ain't going to do it.
Speaker 4:Really.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, if I don't, if I don't do it in the first thing of the day, I ain't doing it.
Speaker 2:No, I see I like I'll do it. I'll do a set. Since we started the podcast, I do um. You know I'll trade my algorithm and you know, before I trade my algorithm, I'll have a nice meditation.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And then, after the podcast, I'll have a second 10 minute meditation, you know, visualizing the rest of the day.
Speaker 3:You got to get that client out of. You Got to meditate that client away.
Speaker 2:Got to, got to purge that shit out of there. All right, man, it's been fun.
Speaker 3:Had a blast, bro. Thanks for all the support.
