Tuttle & Kline
Ep #6: Tales of Whimsy and the Wonders of Everyday Oddities
Every so often, you stumble across a conversation that meanders through the quirkiness of life while unearthing some profound truths. That's precisely what you'll find in our latest episode, where we leap from discussing the aerodynamics of haircuts and speed walking to reflecting on the nostalgic highs of college basketball in Indiana. But it's not all fun and games; we also confront societal issues head-on, questioning cultural prejudices and the tantalizing notion of a world free from envy, taxation woes, and even pesky ticks.
The tapestry of our dialogue is rich with contrasting threads, as we share comedic trials and tribulations alongside personal growth stories, weigh the pros and cons of digital privacy, and chuckle over the unexpected adventures of dogs with escapades worthy of their own film franchise. Special mention goes to Audrey Tuttle, whose insights on happiness and polite refusal to let Kline tag along on her marathon are just the sort of charming moments that make this episode a heartwarming listen. We've all been there, navigating the ebb and flow of work relationships, and in this chat, we pay homage to those unique bonds and the sometimes eyebrow-raising moments that inevitably arise.
Wind down with us as we recount powerful family narratives, the nuanced impact of words, and the resilience we discover along the way. Whether it's the humor found in a mischievous German shepherd's antics or the resolve to face our digital addictions head-on, our stories are a reminder that life's roller coaster is best navigated with a mix of laughter, reflection, and a touch of readiness for the unexpected. So come join us, lend an ear, and perhaps you'll leave with a fresh perspective on the comedic, the heartfelt, and the downright peculiar facets of life.
welcome to the Tuttle and Klein show. Did you get your hair?
Speaker 2:cut. Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2:I can tell aerodynamic now that'll help you speed walk exactly so I can frighten people when I come up upon them. And I did it again last week too. Oh really, maybe that's your thing. Yeah, I'm just like hey man. And I did it again last week too. Oh really, maybe that's your thing. Yeah, I'm just like hey man, I'm just trying to keep you on the ball, that's right. All right, everything sound good, everything look good. Oh, everything's great Wonderful. Kevin Klein. Yeah, I was a little bit frantic this morning, so I'm sorry I'm a little bit behind. No worries, man, but the Cougs are in the Sweet 16.
Speaker 3:That was a nail-biter for a little while there.
Speaker 2:A&M almost got them.
Speaker 3:Dude man, if you're walking on campus today as that kid who hit that three-pointer to send it to overtime, you're just a legend.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. There are people, kevin, that make those big buckets, that live forever off of it, like Paris McCurdy at Ball State.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He made some key buckets against UNLV and against Louisville when we made the six sweet 16 run when I was in college and then chandler thompson had to put back, dunk uh, over unlv and and he could walk around anywhere in muncie, indiana, and get a free meal. Seriously, you know, and he's our age and he can walk right in and go, how's it going? And they're like oh, it's Chandler Thompson, the 6'4 guy who had like a 45-inch vertical and he's the guy that can jump on the top of the backboard and make change. Not just take a quarter, but change.
Speaker 3:He can make change for it. Leave four quarters is what I'm trying to say, of course. Yes, yes. And who? Can forget that all-time great basketball player robbie benson what was that movie?
Speaker 2:one-on-one one-on-one that was it, yeah, you know the better one, though, and I I it gets me every time. I saw it when I was a kid. A bunch of times it was one of those when you first get uh hbo that it's on like four times a day.
Speaker 2:Uh, ice castles oh, I remember ice castles with lynn holly johnson yeah yeah, uh, and you know she goes blind, and then she, you know, comes back from being blind. But they forgot the flowers yeah, forgot them when they forgot the flowers. I mean everybody, colleen duhurst, tom scarrett, you know everybody. Just niagara falls. Yeah, I remember ice castles for sure yeah.
Speaker 2:Robbie Benson was actually a good hoop guy too. He was good. He was no Jimmy Chitwood, that guy was the baller man. You know that. You know that, uh, they shot the uh movie Hoosiers when I was in Indiana. That's why I brought it up. Yeah, yeah, they, they, they shot. That's why I brought it up. Yeah, yeah, they shot it. And did I ever tell you this story?
Speaker 3:I don't know what is it.
Speaker 2:You know the other teams that played the Hoosiers. You know they were taking. You know people from Indiana that play basketball, yeah, and you know using them on those teams. And I got rejected immediately because I had, you know, I I played two street to be believable for the 50s of course, yeah, nobody played that type of game yeah, you know, because my influence you know, michael jordan was god of course. So everything was walk the dog, rock the cradle, double pump. Well, nobody did a fucking double pump back in the 50s, it was.
Speaker 3:It was the bob koozie set shot, yeah, or or maybe the granny shot even so first day.
Speaker 2:They're just like we can't. You, you play, you don't play 1950s ball, you, you play modern ball and it won't look right. No probably not it won't look right. I mean, there's some small towns in indiana. If you played like that, they would run you out of town. They'd get a pitch for it? I'm sure they would. Yes, and they would for various and sundry reasons.
Speaker 2:I was going to say the birthplace, the birthplace of the KKK, exactly Martinsville, and I had a guy named Larry live right on my hall, howick Hall at Ball State, and he was from Martinsville and he lived it really, yeah, it was bad. It was bad. I mean, I finally I just had to interject.
Speaker 2:He, he was friendly with with me because I was white uh-huh but you know he just I was just like, hey, dude, I mean you can't be that way, man. I know your dad you, you know has four teeth in his head and runs the shine still From Martinsville up to Anderson. I know he does that and I know that's a big thing in your family and you know that's a very nice Confederate flag you have there. And I know you're just celebrating heritage, but you know this is the eighties now, bro.
Speaker 3:Yeah, different way to celebrate now pal, different way.
Speaker 2:And I'm bringing my girl back and you know you're, you're looking for your hood. It's just not, it's not a good vibe, not at all, it's not. It's it's you're not helping me get laid as a freshman in college, buddy, that's right. So you know, you live, you live. You live like right down the hall, like like catty corner.
Speaker 3:How funny that you brought this up, because this kind of actually could very well fall into the top three idea that I had today.
Speaker 2:Let me just say this air innovations are a very valued brown floor sponsor. Such fine people, five-star reviews everywhere, and one of the things I really love about them, kev, is if you get a quote, uh, from another uh, you know, hvac outfit, you've always got to back up with their innovations, because sometimes you don't need a whole new system, sometimes you just need parts and a little bit of love, you know.
Speaker 3:Are you telling me that Air Innovations is trustworthy? They will tell you what you need and they're not going to try and upsell you. That doesn't happen today.
Speaker 2:Troy and Kelly are big on that. They know how times are, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah on that. They know how times are Inflation and just unless you're a tech billionaire with seven yachts, things are rough and they know that and their technicians are trained on that. Hey, let's do what we can to not have to fit them into a new system. Let's see if we can tweak it, and they do that all the time. They'll say that. They'll say, hey, I can make a new system, let's see if we can tweak it. And they do that all the time. They're good, they'll say that. They'll say, hey, I can make a couple moves. It's going to cost you one 10th of what a system does, or something like that, and then you're going to get three or four years out of it. They did that with my uh, my ex's place in Cyprus. You know everybody came out there their own whole new system 100 million dollars.
Speaker 2:You know, yeah, and she's like, well, I don't have 100 million dollars, and they're like, well, looks like you're gonna have a hell of a summer. And then you know, uh, good people at air innovations, one of the technicians come out and he looks up and he goes I could probably get you done for 328. You just need a couple parts and it'll last you for about four more years.
Speaker 3:See, because Air Innovations knows that it's about relationships and they're local, family owned and operated. They know that once you become part of their family, you're going to stay part of their family, and they know that they're not going to be able to do that if they come out and say, oh yeah, you need something new. And then you go and find somebody else and they say, no, no, no, you didn't need that. That's why Air Innovations is telling the truth.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're. They're one of the organizations and they're very rare where they don't care about one sale. They want to take care of you for a lifetime Exactly, and your family and your family's family, and so on and so on. A lot of their stuff is word of mouth. People just like I can't believe it. One guy came in here and basically said they got to take my firstborn child to get me an AC unit, and Air Innovations came in and said it's $428 and we can make you last for four years.
Speaker 2:Do the math All right. So we've got them in the link, their website in the link. Just click on that. We've got the phone number right here and it's going to be up there for the next few minutes. Air Innovations, ground floor. Sponsor of the Tuttle Kline podcast. And we're so happy to have them aboard. Kev, let's go ahead and do that. Top three and sure, fantastic little graphics.
Speaker 3:while I get my earbud back in, Just when you thought they couldn't count any higher. It's tunneling clients top three, all right. This is wide open this week, uh, and I'm curious to see where you're going to go and what kind of wanted me to bring this in was. You were already talking about, uh, racial aspects in america. You have a magic wand and you can eliminate three things in the world eliminate three things in the world.
Speaker 2:First off and I know this is going to be right down your pipeline, kevin klein children with cancer is just ridiculous to me okay, thanks yeah it. It is the idea that a child, an innocent child, can be afflicted with something that can kill them within weeks, months, short years or whatever.
Speaker 3:That, to me, is one of the most heinous things in our society, so please get rid of that if you would, and a shout out to one of our good friends, amy Lejeune, who lost her daughter, paige, and she is a big fan of the show Amy is and we met Paige during a radiothon when we broadcasted from Baybrook and Paige ended up becoming a major inspiration for a running friend of mine, Jean, and we've just always had that relationship and it's sad that we started the relationship under under tragic circumstances. But it's nice that we can still talk about page and we can still be friends with the, with the Lejeune family.
Speaker 2:We were at the mall broadcasting that year. Remember we were. I do remember for radio thunder. They came out, they had that fudge. Remember that fudge.
Speaker 3:Yeah, man, holy cow, it was good stuff, you said I mean stuff you said I mean sell it.
Speaker 2:I, I can't believe that was. That's really good. So yeah, good people, and yeah, I just gotta eradicate that man. I mean, that should be top priority. You know, I you hear all these rumors that they got a cure and everything like that. They just they, they're making so much money off the, the, the, uh, chemo and all that stuff. They'll never give it to us and only the, the elite, get it. You know, and all that stuff, that's the case. Can they at least give the kids?
Speaker 3:the juice.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I know what you're saying, brother.
Speaker 2:Because that's a painful thing. So it was top three things you want to get rid of you would eliminate.
Speaker 3:yes.
Speaker 2:I would eliminate also if I could, you, can You've? Got the magic wand.
Speaker 3:I got a magic if I could, you can. You've got the magic wand, I got a magic wand. Yep.
Speaker 2:And I obviously have a time limit because we want people to continue to listen. So I want to be quick with this. I'm going to go with it, and this is a hard one too, because it's like the genie with the three wishes. You don't want to fuck it up, that's true, and then have genie wish remorse 20 minutes later.
Speaker 3:Oh, you'll have it later.
Speaker 2:Oh, totally, yeah, totally. And, by the way, you know, because we're thinking, I have to think in a hot box right here, we're going to miss something. So go ahead and leave comments on what you would have eradicated from the planet, Kev, I would say taxation of any kind.
Speaker 3:My God, from the planet kev I would say taxation of any kind, my god you've just taken two of mine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you took two of mine. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, the idea that, uh, that a centralized um control freak organization can just basically cut your earnings in half is total bullshit. It should be illegal and it is shameful that it's part of our society. I know a lot of you think well, how will you get the roads and how will you pay for military and all that stuff? You can have a usury tax on things. If people are purchasing things you can have, but anything past 10% on any purchase you can't do. Know, but you know, anything past 10 on any purchase you can't do. And you cannot touch anybody's income ever. You cannot touch their inheritance ever. You can't touch any of that shit. I mean, if you're, when you start digging into that, you are an out of control leviathan organization that needs to be put in its place.
Speaker 3:Period. He said it better than I would have said it. But, yeah, taxation, jesus, do you believe this country was started because we didn't want to be taxed on tea? Yeah, all the crap we take now. Now they're hitting me because I sold property and made a profit on that property, isn't that?
Speaker 2:terrible.
Speaker 3:Now I fucking owe this year out of the wazoo because I made a good investment, isn't that? Isn't that terrible? Oh my god, dude it's unbelievable it's like. It's like they want us to revolt but they know we won't to a point, I think there's a flash point, I think, in their minds that they think they got it.
Speaker 2:You know like, oh, all the drones and robot killer dogs that we have, you know, plus enough of the military and police force, you know we could probably take you, I don't know, ninety two million armed Americans who love the Constitution, a large chunk of the military and police, who are sworn to uphold the Constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic.
Speaker 3:He's right.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying. I know what you're saying. Yeah, I don't know that. I don't know how to handicap that one, and once, once, their arrogance pushes, pushes it to that point. I hope they don't. I hope they don't, cause it's going to be a nasty three or four weeks. Three or four weeks.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, geeks, oh yeah, it'll happen quick. Uh, in your third one, uh, my, by the way, just just to make, I'm not calling for that, no, I am. I am a futurist, kev. You've heard me for many years tell you what's going to happen before it happens, and it happens yes, he is a the nostradamus of the modern era I can read tea leaves. I can read chatter. I can, you know, I know history, and when history is repeating itself and holy shit, it's repeating and not in a good way- Nope, not at all.
Speaker 2:That's all I got to say. All right, final thing to eradicate before I get swatted in my apartment, I would have to say I don't like envy. Okay, can you do that? I mean, that's not, that's not really a tangible thing, that's. That's kind of intangible but it's a thing. Yeah, I, just I. I I never understood jealousy. We should celebrate other people's fortune and their success, not be jealous of it. So if I could just wave the wand, just be, hey, man, nobody's going to be envious anymore. There you go all right so what are yours?
Speaker 3:that gene, mine. Well, you took two of mine, so that's going to leave me uh with, with, uh, two extras. Um, I'm going to get rid of ticks, ticks, love it, ticks. What do they? What is their?
Speaker 2:purpose. Yeah, there's a few like that man. Yeah, like, like you know, a lot of people get angry at sharks because they may have bit their uncle's leg or their leg or something like that. But a shark's just being a shark and he's part of the ecosystem and everything like that. But there are some worthless things that like what do mosquitoes do? Well basically, they just spread disease.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I read a. I read a news article not too long ago because I was wondering what is the purpose of a tick. And it really didn't have a purpose except to, uh, control animal population. We are animals. But the article, the headline of the article, was thank the tick for sex. Basically, because ticks kill, they force us to have sex or other animals to have sex to proliferate their species. I'm like that's such bullshit. Yeah, I'm not thanking a tick for anything.
Speaker 2:I like the idea of you know anything that's not of use just going by by. I mean, that's more of an umbrella than your specific tick thing. But you know why not get rid of mosquitoes? Vice presidents, third string quarterbacks you know we don't need them.
Speaker 3:Blind. There was a time in the 28 years that we've been together that he would have said that Now he won't. Now he won't.
Speaker 2:Kev, I would have only said it out of jest.
Speaker 3:You've never, of course you've never been in an appendix, no matter how many times I've told you jokingly that you are an appendix uh, and the the other one since, uh, since we both agree on cancer and we both agree on taxes, I'm gonna go and take another one. I know we say left lane drivers, but I'm to go with the people who pass on the right. Okay, because it's dangerous. It's dangerous Exactly that. If you talk to anybody in Germany Andreas Van Breven, remember him, tim, he was our intern in Nashville. He listens to the show what's up, andreas? He told me a long time ago that the only reason that there aren't crashes on the Autobahn is because nobody passes on the right. That's why there's crashes in America. People pass on the right. Look, if you're going fast in the right-hand lane and there's somebody going slow in the left-hand lane, get behind them, they'll move. If they don't move, then they're the dick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Don't you be the dick who killed people Right by passing on the right. Don't do it. I love it, Kev, You're so caring, You're so caring. There's a lot of scary stuff. I mean I just, you know, going to and fro the comedy club last night had a bunch of right lane freaks and I'm just like I'm going to get killed trying to go make people laugh. This is not bad.
Speaker 3:Now that you brought up the comedy club dude, I wish I still had the conversation that you and I had on text message on Friday evening that you and I had on text message on Friday evening, I mean every. Thursday, thursday, thursday. The enthusiasm that you had in that text message was like if you could bottle that and sell it, dude, you'd be richer than Musk.
Speaker 2:I felt bad because I felt like I was bombarding you.
Speaker 3:No, dude, I was dude. I was so excited that you were having that experience. I really was man. I showed it to Trish. I'm like can you just you can. Can you feel the enthusiasm in his body right now, just on the words that you were, you were sharing? It was dude. I was so happy for you, man, so proud.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did, uh, I did my tight five, uh on Thursday night and yeah, this is what I got right here. I got my text. I text Kevin as soon as it's over. You know you're glowing in the dark. Your hand is shaking a little bit. Oh, it's shaking a lot it's shaking because you just killed. They were just laughing and then you got people walking by you quoting stuff from your act. You know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know I said Kev. And by you quoting stuff from your act. You know, yeah, I said, I said kev. This is so awesome, the audience loved it. The host said damn, I'm going in the dark right now. Oh my god, I feel like I'm high. I fucking own the audience there you go yeah, and and kev goes. Awesome. It's a rush, no question about it. Way to go, buddy. I'm not done there.
Speaker 3:No nor should he be.
Speaker 2:I said, my hands are shaking, adrenaline is coursing through my veins right now and klein goes. I can tell just after a few. You could tell huh yeah I said everyone's looking at me and whispering and shit. I crushed the other 15 in front of me there. I said there, there was a lady going on after me and she had deer in headlights. Look, she bombed.
Speaker 3:Man.
Speaker 2:And then Kev goes, set up a table and sign autographs. I said, oh, I didn't get. This is where I was bummed out because I looked. Then I looked at my phone because I pressed I thought I pressed voice memo and but when you get up there, kev, you're so you're nervous, I know. And you put the phone on the stool and you think you pressed voice memo but I didn't engage it, it didn't record it. So I said, damn, I didn't court it. I was a little nervous when I put the phone on the stool. I didn't press record button correctly or something. I said I'm going to ask her to see if anybody has a recording. Audience was bellowing and laughter. It was guttural. You have to hear this client I'm, I'm like going to the host and a couple of regular guys and you know and everything like that. Hey, do you guys recording anything? They don't like recording anything but their own, because it is considered uh rude that your people think you're trying to steal from them.
Speaker 2:That is completely understandable yeah, so nobody records anything but their own sets. And I said then I you know I started, dude, you helped me with this. I'm so appreciative. Blah blah blah. They asked me to come back. Blah, blah blah, but timmy's got a baseball game. I'm gonna go up sunday, different place, new audience. I think I'm gonna end up pretty good at this and I'm just, I'm glowing man, it's great I can tell sorry if I'm rambling, I'm so jacked.
Speaker 2:Right now people are walking past me saying trolling for unis which is the last line of your, of your set yeah and it brought down the house and my suggestion was uh, you said? You said uh, hey, thanks, that's my act. I'm Tim Tuttle and I'm selling Trolling for Unis t-shirts out front.
Speaker 3:That's right $20. You're missing an opportunity if you don't man.
Speaker 2:I don't want to be that guy. Why, yet, yet, okay, I'm still just trying to break in Kev. Now, that was a great night, I mean Thursday, like, okay, I can do this, you know, it taught me that, hey, I can do this, you know. Yeah, for 26 years I was morning radio guy but I was bouncing off of people. Now I can go with a microphone and a spotlight on me and I can entertain people just with my words, and that was reassuring, that was cool.
Speaker 3:It should be more than reassuring, it should be empowering.
Speaker 2:Then I went last night, by the way, I haven't gotten any sleep at all. I have not slept, oh really, yeah, I had so much coffee, I had, I had so much espresso, just to make sure that I was, and I just I didn't sleep a wink, but I got there and I was sixth up.
Speaker 3:You said there were 30 comics.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there were 30 comics.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And I was sixth up, so I'm like, okay, cool, kevin Kline, the five people in front of me were so bad.
Speaker 3:Oh really.
Speaker 2:That the audience there was a decent audience, I mean there was 15, 20 people and that's enough where I can get feedback on my jokes to see if they like them. But it whittled down, whittled down, whittled down. By the time I got up there, three people, all dudes. Two of the dudes were doing standup. Oh really, it was that's bad that is. I'm just like this is a completely blown trip now.
Speaker 3:No, no no, you still got out there and you still delivered, so it's practice.
Speaker 2:Kev. I have, over the past four or five days, practice hundreds of times. Good, you know, I you know, after I signed up and found out I'm six, I walked around downtown doing my act. Really my act, yeah, doing my act. So I know it like the back of my hand, yeah, but I know I know it.
Speaker 3:But delivering it walking around downtown and delivering it on stage, totally different, you know so, and that's what you know.
Speaker 2:That's why I want to video it, because I want to see am I doing anything that distracts? You know I'm, I'm trying to act out.
Speaker 3:Uh, some of the stuff, and you know some of it the acting out is, is getting some chuckles too well, sure but I don't want to be distracting from the words if people are remembering trolling for unis and you know laughing and telling you lines, they're listening. It's not getting in the way. So, yeah, but what you need to do is you need to have, um, you need to take somebody with you, whether it's uh, audrey, jonas, or uh, or new girl. Yeah, maybe it's time I or a new girl.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe it's time I Kev. I'm even thinking bigger than that, are you? Yeah, I'm thinking of buying my own club. Okay, no, I'm just kidding Actually. Oh, you know, what I'm really thinking about is because you know this place right here, the lease runs out in the fall.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I may move to Austin. Really, joe Rogan's got the mothership there. Yeah. Bunches of LA and New York comedians have moved to Austin. The mothership has become the comedy store of middle United States, nice. So I may do that, I don't know my man, you know cause. Audrey and Jonas are right there in San Marcos. And Audrey, audrey, you know she, she would stay in that Austin area more likely than not, same with Jonas, cause it's a big tech area.
Speaker 3:Sure, Absolutely.
Speaker 2:And then you know, just get Timmy and Dow, it's just an hour and a half, cause they're way out in the country on the West. You know, just get Timmy and Dow, it's just an hour and a half, because they're way out in the country on the West. You know, pat, you know in Houston, right? So I'm thinking possibly that that that I moved to Houston in the fall, you know October or something, moved to Austin. What I say Houston.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I'm already there. That's where you're there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I mean I may do that, that I don't know, or who knows I'm awesome.
Speaker 3:It's a great town, man.
Speaker 2:It's an awesome city three weeks from now I may be like I don't even like this stand-up comedy thing, because there's one thing, there's one thing about it kev is, my body is not used to midnight. Midnight, 30, one o'clock uh-huh and I gotta be funny. Yeah, it is a different lifestyle. I mean, I would. I would have to kind of like flip the script all the way around and and and go a vampire schedule to really get into it. But you know, who knows, I'm open to that too yeah, you can.
Speaker 3:You can nap during the day, that's it. That's it, yeah, um, I mean, dude, if you're enjoying it, you're having fun and it's exhilarating and exciting, then why why question it? Well, it's ailarating and exciting, then why question it?
Speaker 2:Well, it's a roller coaster right now. I mean I had it up, yeah, and yesterday was, but you know that motivates me more to see if I can, you know, get like a bigger gig with a built-in audience, like a regular bigger gig somewhere.
Speaker 3:You know we'll see A hosting gig would be perfect right now. A hosting gig you know you're the first one on you do five, then you bring up the co-feature or the feature, and then you come back out and do a couple and then you bring on the headliner.
Speaker 2:Yeah. It's perfect, that's perfect. That would be a perfect way and I can try new stuff all the time.
Speaker 2:Yep, right, there being a host. Yeah, okay, yeah, I'm going to look into that, you should. Kev, we talked about. You know the times we go into the rabbit hole, yes, and really dig deep on things and afterwards we're like gosh, why did I just blow an hour and a half, two hours on that? Oh, yeah, no, I know, and I think this may be a regular weekly thing for us is you know what rabbit hole did each of caught in? Okay, in the past week.
Speaker 3:Did you get it caught in any rabbit holes? Um, yeah, I actually did get caught in a rabbit hole, but it was you some of your hold on, some of yours you may not be comfortable talking about, because kevin has a very dark mind, no, this, this one, this one's fine, um, and it's, it's strange, Uh, but uh, I got a connect request on LinkedIn from another playboy playmate of the year Another one, yeah and she said she'll come on the fuzzy mic and talk about, uh, self-esteem and self-empowerment and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:And so it's not Karen McDougal, it's another one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's another one.
Speaker 2:Holy shit dude.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what are?
Speaker 2:you doing man.
Speaker 3:I, honestly, I figured out what it is. What is it?
Speaker 2:They think they think you're Kevin Klein, the actor.
Speaker 3:Nope, I uh, Karen McDougal might, but Brandi Roderick does not.
Speaker 2:Brandi Roderick.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I remember her.
Speaker 3:Baywatch yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, Wait a minute. So they linked with you on LinkedIn and she's going to come on your pod.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she says she is. She said, sure, I would love to and that'd be great, but so here's what it is. So this one service that I apply for to get guests for, uh, the podcast um, they had a woman named Deborah Driggs and she was a playboy playmate and she has her own website where she talks about, uh, self-esteem issues and all this kind of stuff. Well, I reached out to her and she messaged me back and she goes oh yeah, we can do this sometime in April. That's totally cool. I said awesome, looking forward to it. If you know anybody else that might want to talk about self-esteem issues, self-empowerment, please pass along my information. That's how it's happening.
Speaker 2:Okay, I got you.
Speaker 3:That's how it's happening Okay so that's how it's happening.
Speaker 2:Okay, I got you, that's how it's happening. Okay, so you're that guy. Apparently, go with it, man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, I don't know, I, I. But anyway, to talk about the rabbit hole, yeah, I've pretty much watched every podcast that Brandy Roderick's been on in the past three years. My God, there are some shit podcasts out there. Oh yeah, oh, my God, dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah. There's a lot of people that shouldn't be speaking in public.
Speaker 3:Yeah, god bless her for being on all those podcasts. I mean sure there's probably going to be somebody that watches mine and says oh my God, that's a shit podcast.
Speaker 2:But no, you're a professional dude. You're a 30 year professional. You know how to present information and have some compelling stuff.
Speaker 3:He was on this one podcast that they were doing a bourbon review. She was pounding bourbon like it was going out of style because she was so bored.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, so funny. Yeah, yeah, so funny. That's why I'm a little nervous. You know, everybody, everybody, you know, because they can buy a microphone at Best Buy. Thanks, well, I'm going to have a podcast. Can buy a microphone at Best Buy. Uh-huh, thinks, well, I'm going to have a podcast. Yeah, and I was a little nervous about Audrey having a podcast.
Speaker 3:Just a little bit. She's awesome, she's awesome, she's so good. Yeah, she's killing it.
Speaker 2:Throw that on the screen real quick. Hype Girl here.
Speaker 3:Your Hype.
Speaker 2:Girl, your Hype Girl, my daughter Audrey.
Speaker 3:She's like on episode three coming up and then episode four. Uh, they just cut it, her and jonas. No way I can't wait to hear that. Yeah, me too. Oh, by the way. By the way, uh, she, uh, could, uh be a politician in the future. Uh, audrey your daughter, um, the way that she let me down in an email was brilliant, dude. It was absolutely brilliant hold on.
Speaker 2:What do you mean? What did you ask for? And then give me this story. I don't know this story.
Speaker 3:Well, I, I, I always give her feedback on the episode. You know, told her it was fan. Oh, I do she's. She's so good, tim, she's really good. Yeah, I mean is that?
Speaker 2:is that genetic? Or is that like listening to her dad for her entire life? Or is that just like? Hey man, I know how to organize thoughts in my head and spit them out onto a microphone.
Speaker 3:It's a combination. It's a combination of both. Yeah, I mean, she's how old? Twenty three, twenty two, twenty two, twenty two. Go listen to your hype girl, audrey Tuttle, and it's it's not the, it's the, the voice of a 22 year old. She is so, so, mature and the information, the information is great. Okay, she's telling you how to be happy and, when things aren't happy, how to turn that around. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2:I got to admit I've jotted a note or two listening to her. Absolutely, I have and I was like I'm going to try that. Yeah, so it works.
Speaker 3:Anyway, I congratulated her on her half marathon and I said if at any time you decide you want to do a full marathon or skip the natural progression and just go to an ultra, I'd be more than happy to run that with you. I'd be honored, in fact.
Speaker 1:She messaged me back and she goes. Oh, thanks for that she goes.
Speaker 2:I've got a great group of friends that run with me Like like, yeah, I appreciate you, uncle Kev and I, you know, and you were one of the first person you were the first person outside of my mom and dad to ever hold me when I was a baby. But I don't want to be next to you for hours and hours and hours. You're good from a distance.
Speaker 3:Exactly, you're really good from a distance you know, but she did ask for suggestions on races. To do so, I sent her an email with uh eight different runs in, uh in in the states and then four different uh international ones that she might want to think about. But y'all, dude, it was so I. I told trish, I'm like man, she's so diplomatic too oh yeah, she, she knows, she knows the game.
Speaker 2:she doesn't. She doesn't want to burn you, yeah, but she, audrey audrey is a sweet human being, uh, but she knows how to tell you fuck you without telling you fuck you. That's right Bottom line, the rabbit hole I got in Kev, and I hope you can put just at least a little snippet, or whatever copyright will allow. I was watching videos of bulls jumping into the stands.
Speaker 3:What like bullfights or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it happens all the time. There is no shortage. And you know, next thing, you know you've watched 40 of these videos and you're like why do these people even go to these things?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't blame the bull If somebody is trying to stick a sword in you. I'm not going to run around the ring these bulls.
Speaker 2:Okay, first off they're put in a cramped dark space for a long time to get them worked up, to piss them off.
Speaker 3:Okay, really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then they come out and they're freaked out by the crowd.
Speaker 3:Sure.
Speaker 2:So they're adjusting to the light and the crowd, noise and everything like that. They're angry man, and some of them, you know, you see the muscles on some of those bulls, yeah, you see their muscles. They can launch themselves, man, and any fence that's too short and I got a funny feeling that a lot of these promoters know it's too short and it just adds to it and they get in there. They get in the stands, man, do they really? They get in the stands, they wreak havoc. I mean they're trying to. I mean a lot of them get like their hoof caught in some seats or something like that, or you know they'll slip down, but some of them they get a little action going on there and you know, next thing, you know you're, you're 10 year old, you know is is yeah, yeah, exactly Ouch. But I, you know, in watching so many of these videos, kev, I finally realized the pattern, uh, in terms of why these bulls are going into the stands. What?
Speaker 3:is it Maybe the red t-shirt giveaway?
Speaker 2:Not well thought of. Yeah, cause, when you think bowl fights yeah, Red everything's red. Yeah, don't put 70,000 of them around the bowl in the stands.
Speaker 3:Just an idea. I completely agree. That's probably the reason why you never saw a bull at a Chicago Bulls game because they were red.
Speaker 2:Funny stuff man. Right.
Speaker 2:Funny stuff. Hey, kev, another one of our sponsors. Home Video Rescue yes, this is so important I I actually have some high school college and you know friends I grew up with that are listening, um, and they reached out to me and they said I'm gonna get, or you, I'm still up in Indiana, tim, you know where we grew up. Can I send the stuff to him? You know I don't. You know, yes, you can. Absolutely. Home Video Rescue here's what they do. They take the stuff that's wilting and decaying in your closets, in your storage, in your garage. You know the Super 8, the VHS, the beta, and they make it digital so it'll last forever. And I got a buddy of mine, man, this guy was a great basketball player, kev, really, I mean, he, he white, he we called him white chocolate Did you Wow Okay.
Speaker 2:And he I mean I'm talking, he thunder dunks, man, I'm talking, this guy, I mean he had a reverse jam and just boom, and he, his head's almost up to the rim and he's doing reverse jams. I mean he was bad man, sounds like it. And he reached out to me and he said man, he goes. I checked in my garage after I was listening to the podcast and there's a one of his boxes of all his highlights water damage, toast. He said he said my sophomore and half of my junior year is gone. And and I said I said you got to get these things to home video rescue. They will put it on, make it digital. That's what they do, that's what Chris does. Okay, and I know a lot of you, whether it's have a basketball or whether it's, you know, your wedding or your kids growing up, your dang kids being born, that's all on like tape that is wilting and decaying. You got to do something about it.
Speaker 3:Well and think about this. I was thinking about this the other day. As a matter of fact, my brother has three daughters and they're both. Two of them are in college. One of them is going to be a doctor next year and then the other one will be graduating next year and it's. They've never seen their dad play baseball. They never did. And the grandkids, when they eventually have them, never saw grandpa play baseball. The grandkids, when they eventually have them, never saw grandpa play baseball. So I told him the other day I'm like, get those VHS tapes, get them digitized. I know the guy can do it. Home Video Rescue.
Speaker 2:Home Video Rescue. We've got it right here, the link right here, and they'll take care of you. Again, once it's gone, it's gone and then your kids are going. Sure, you dunked ball, dad bullshit. Exactly. There you go. So, uh, thank you to chris. Uh, chris is phenomenal, I love it. Uh, kev, yeah, your wife sent this story and it immediately triggered stuff. I think I know what you're talking about. Um real estate agent. There's a big story of some real estate agent almost burned down a $2 million house.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Getting ready to show the house and something that I don't know what it was. But yeah, they almost burned down a $2 million.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and a similar thing happened when we were moving from Alabama to Houston. Yeah, I mean, the home inspector came in and we had, you know, audrey and Jonas's mom had like a plastic container that had the cake in it. It was on the stove. Well, he just goes over there to test all the stove things and doesn't remove the plastic cake holder and it starts to burn. Yes and Kev, I forgot something. And I walked in and saw black smoke billowing in my house that I'm trying to sell and the home inspector's in there and I'm like dude, what's up, what's going on? He was a big listener to tuttle and client. He loved our show so his.
Speaker 2:His eyes are this wide. He's freaking out. He's going. Oh my god, tim, I'm so sorry man, I am so sorry, and you know I'll get it cleaned up and fixed up. I, you know I got, I got stuff out on my truck. We'll get rid of the smell and all that. I said that's fine, and I know that. Uh, all out, real nice Now, aren't they? He goes, I'll take care of you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Basically he. There were a couple of things that he didn't report because he stayed longer to fix them. Because of that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you had to have like major renovation done to the kitchen, uh, before you could sell it, he, he do some stuff to you know, the vent, the fan vent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. He had to go get another one and put the whole vent overhead roof vent thing on there because it was black and he couldn't get it off. It just turned black, Damn yeah.
Speaker 3:Bad day at work right there, man. It's a want-to-get-away moment, totally Ke they work right there, man, it's a want to get away moment.
Speaker 2:Totally, kev. Do you have any want to get away moments? I got, I got. I got a couple that are really that made me think about it. It's like, oh dang, dude, let me, let me hear yours, ok. When I was with Audrey and Jonas's mom.
Speaker 3:OK, yeah.
Speaker 2:And it was early on in the relationship. We were meeting her friends and everything like that. And you know me, BS or Timmy, meeting new people hey, how you doing. And you know some girls, some lady is acting all crazy. One of her friends and I'm like, oh, you're so crazy, you belong in prison, You're so crazy. Turns out she was facing embezzling charges at that moment. No way, it was a news story and everything. I had no idea, yeah, but I just. But I just remember the record scratch noise and just the room goes silent that's hilarious but you didn't know exactly.
Speaker 2:I got let off the hook because I didn't know and you know she was, uh, she was embarrassed trying to play it off and her husband wasn't happy, but he's like half my size, so what is he gonna do exactly? I, I didn't know man, I just, I'm sorry, I'm just a shucker and jiver. I'm a bs, sir, you know. Yeah, you're crazy. You belong in prison, oops.
Speaker 3:How long?
Speaker 2:did she serve? I don't know the aftermath. We didn't stay in touch with her. That was not a long-lasting friendship. There were no more barbecues Kev. Yeah, kev, not Kev. This one just happened not too long ago. Oh my God, I still, to this day, I go. Oh my God, I was golfing with somebody. I didn't know. He was a guy that just came out and unlike the second or third hole it's a 10 foot putt.
Speaker 2:Okay, he does this weak putt. It's like four feet short. Well, and you've heard this before, it's a common thing that's said in golf. It's like hey, does your wife play? Yeah, right, common Right, yeah. He says, instead of just letting me off the hook and go. I probably should have put some more mustard on that one. He said she died two weeks ago. Yeah, I know, dude, yeah. And I'm like, oh, sorry man. And then he goes. It gets worse. Oh, really, yeah. Then he goes oh, it's all good, it was a horrible marriage. I mean, she never let me play golf.
Speaker 2:I would never be out here if she was still around and I'm like okay, and then just trying to get a segue out of there and go well, you didn't kill her, did you? No? He said, are you a cop? Are you wearing a wire? And I had no idea. I mean, we played another 15 holes. I had no idea whether they were serious or not. I just stopped talking to him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I would. I would have shanked one in the woods and waited for the next foursome to come through.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I think it may have been and really looking back on it I mean, you've played golf with me many times I have. You know, I'm a little chatty, I like to talk yeah, maybe he was just one of those golfers that wanted the folks like a ben hogan type, you know, just doesn't want to chat or doesn't want to chat or whatever, and that whole thing was made up just to shut me up yeah, but why would he?
Speaker 3:why would he say oh, she died two weeks ago, just you know it. He, he opened the door for conversation right there. No, I, he, that's his fault. He opened the door for conversation you there, that's his fault. He opened the door for conversation. You say something like oh, can your wife play? Nah, that's funny.
Speaker 2:I do that all the time, though I know, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:My ex was like hey, can you reach out to the venue, see if I can get a meet and greet with this artist? And just goofing around, I text back to her and go, yeah, you can. But here's the thing I told them you were developmentally challenged, so you have to act that way until you're three feet within the artist and she's like what I do. So I do that kind of stuff all the time where I'm just BSing around like, like you know, he's, she's dead, she died two weeks ago. I mean that's, that's not beyond the realm of just goofing around, right, right, no, not at all.
Speaker 3:But, like I said, he said it, so he opened up the, the venue of conversation there, you know okay, he could have just let your, let your line slide. I mean, it is a common, common uh thing said on the golf course yeah, okay, yeah, I mean it's just and he's heard that before.
Speaker 2:Of course it's said just as often when you know somebody is addressing a ball on the tee box and it rolls off of the tee, and they say that's one. Yeah, you know it's lame, stupid stuff, but everybody says that I mean you hit a weak putt. Hey, does your wife play Now? I know there may be some hardcore feminists out there going it's nothing personal, nothing at all, nothing, nothing no. Not every guy is a beta male. There's still some alphas out there and you know we like to goof around.
Speaker 3:We don't mean anything by it. Actually, didn't Justin Thomas on the PGA Tour get in trouble for saying something like that to Tiger Woods? And the microphones caught him.
Speaker 2:Oh no, a tour get in trouble for saying something like that to tiger woods and the microphones caught him? Oh no, no, no, he used the f word. Oh, did he? You know fa word. You know I'm saying oh, yeah, he said. He said you hit that ball like a, you know.
Speaker 3:Ah, okay, that's what got him in trouble? That got him in trouble. You don't want to do that one. Nah, not at all. That's there, yeah, that's uh, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2:That's just south of the n word yeah close enough to it that you don't want to jack with it.
Speaker 3:Gotcha.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, that's the reason why. Yeah, it wasn't a shot, a misogynistic shot, it was one of those. No, no, no, no, no. We will take everything. Yeah. So yeah, he got busted on that one.
Speaker 3:That was the one Okay, I knew he got busted on that one.
Speaker 2:That was the one okay, I knew he got busted for something uh, kevin, you don't live in texas anymore no, miss it but uh, you know, a few days, a few days ago, um, texans who like to look up adult material on the internet, yeah, they got hit with a uh, a sign from all the major uh players.
Speaker 2:You know all, all the goliaths of smut okay uh, saying that texas residents, your ip's registered in texas, uh, you cannot watch this channel because of a texas law where they put the onus on them that they have to prove it's not a minor or anything like that. So they, you know, they, these all of them, you know, like, like, like porn hub. You. They pulled the plug completely, you cannot get those in texas.
Speaker 2:You can't get them anymore not anymore, because they have blocked all lone star state ips. Now I cab. That's why I heard right, yeah, yeah, you know, I just heard chatter. You know you're at, you're at a gas station filling your your car up and you know you hear some obvious porn guys over there totally yeah and they're like oh man, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 3:what are we?
Speaker 2:gonna do so yeah, I, I jump in while they're all upset. You know, over at the gas station, yeah, they're all upset, they're going. Oh my god what am I gonna? I can't live without it. They're junkies, Of course they are. They're addicts. That's a thing. Look it up. I said I think you're going to have to look for some genuine connections with ladies again, guys.
Speaker 3:Or get over to Louisiana as quick as you can.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Don't they have those vpns or something like that, like the incognito? Yeah? Uh-huh yeah, and then if somebody goes hey, we think your ip's in texas and you're like no, I'm not, I'm in oklahoma. What are you talking about?
Speaker 3:although, uh, google is supposed to be settling a class action lawsuit that even when you went incognito on Google, they could still track you. Yeah, there is. Kev there's no such thing.
Speaker 2:They love getting the data, they love being able to track you. I mean, we talked about this before. They are sociopath control freaks and they love having this over all of us. They do. Yeah.
Speaker 2:And they will, and it's going to be a thing until they don't and they'll. They'll be sorry that they did it, but we let it. Oh yeah, I, I'm, I'm not giving up the internet. No, are you kidding me? I, I, you know, I, I I actually, uh, put my phone down. Uh, it was probably miduary, early January. Okay, I was like, hey, once a week I'm not even going to touch my phone. Just one day a week I'll have the ringer on so I can hear it if it's an emergency, if something's up with the kids, but that's the only thing I'll answer. Okay, that lasted about two and a half hours, that's it. I am so embarrassed about that too. Oh, wow that, that I'm that addicted to information and having it out of my fingertips. I am, I, yeah, and they know that too.
Speaker 3:They know they got you. They got you. I went a half a year without a phone.
Speaker 2:I know, man, that's pretty amazing that that you had. You know what Kev, that had to be one of the best six months of your life. It was incredible.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I knew that I didn't have to get on a phone. I didn't have to worry about people calling me, emailing me, texting me. It was phenomenal. And the other reason I ended up getting a phone was because Trish, my wife, told me you know, with your business doing the voiceover work, people need a way to contact you. And she goes. I'm not going to be your secretary.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you finally had to relent, didn't?
Speaker 3:you, yeah, but you know, like Christopher Nolan, the guy that did uh, the, the, the Batman stuff and he did Oppenheimer- he does not have a computer.
Speaker 2:He doesn't have a phone. He yeah, it's amazing, and he's a brilliant artist. He doesn't need it for ideas exactly. His brain is not clogged up so he can come up with ideas like inception like inception exactly which, by the way, the greatest movie in history, and anytime you get a chance to talk about it, you better talk about it. I've never seen inception. Don't tell johnny chang that. Oh okay, that was the show. That's right. That's right, do you remember?
Speaker 3:that I do remember that I've never seen Inception. Don't tell Johnny Chang that. Oh okay, that was his show. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2:He loved that. Do you remember that?
Speaker 3:I do remember that he flipped out.
Speaker 2:He thought everybody on planet Earth was talking about Inception. He got mad. Johnny rarely got mad at us Rarely. He was our boss at 93Q. First off, let me preface this by saying if every single person American worker had a boss like Johnny Chang, there would be nobody driving to work hating their jobs.
Speaker 3:Very true.
Speaker 2:Greatest boss ever, but he had his moments. One of them was when comedian late comedian Ralphie May said Puerto Rican pubic hair, and Klein didn't quite have enough time to edit it out. Johnny Chang heard it and this is when we were first starting out. This is 05, 2005.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we had not been on the air long.
Speaker 2:We didn't have much juice, we didn't have much leverage. He came flying out of his office, running to the studio, just flip. Remember that, just flipping out.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I remember and he's getting in my face and I'm like my god, what do I do here? You know, I just moved here, I just got a mortgage, I got a, uh, two very small children. I mean, if he hits me, do I? I have to jack him back. My dad's watching, right. I mean, one of the one of uh, a tenant of fred tuttle's is if hits you, don't go looking for trouble.
Speaker 3:Don't.
Speaker 2:Nope, but if somebody takes a swing at you and it gets physical, you have to knock them the fuck out. That was a Fred Tuttle rule. They got to go down. So I'm just sitting there All of that's running through my head, right, because he looked like he was going to throw. Oh, he was not happy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he, yeah, he looked like he was going to punch me and I'm like oh my God, do I?
Speaker 2:fight back. What do I do here? You know what, what. What do they implicate? I finally decided I'm just going to take the punch and I'm going to sue the company. That's, that was the plan. That was the plan I'm going to. I'm going to sue the company for $4.27 million. I had it already in my head. It only took me about a millisecond to just make that decision. Okay, I'm going to let them jack me and I'm going 4.27 million, but you remember that right.
Speaker 3:Oh, I totally remember that. And then I remember that we had to have a meeting with our general manager afterwards to apologize to her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because, yeah, Caroline's old school.
Speaker 3:Very.
Speaker 2:I mean, I said that sucks one time on the radio and she's like you don't want to say that sucks. No, I'm like, really you should have seen what we were doing six months ago in Birmingham, alabama, exactly.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you could tell she did not have much of a say in our hire.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no. But yeah, the other thing he didn't, he flipped out because I guess he watched it over the opening weekend Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio, I know, yeah, yeah. And also the guy from Oppenheimer, the British guy, Peaky Blinders. He was in that too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he was in that too. And he after the show he was so mad. He's like everybody in the world is talking about this, everybody in the world. I mean they buried people on Friday. They've come back to life so they can talk about inception. I mean I'm like, oh, he kept going with it. He kept going with it. We were like, hey, so you know, didn't realize, you know. And then I looked at the box office. It was like 44 million know. So I did the, I did the math right there. I'm like maybe three million people watched it.
Speaker 3:The other uh, two, uh, the other 313 million didn't give a shit yeah you know, I know exactly, I totally remember that but that was that, was it.
Speaker 2:I mean, that was outside of that, outside of those two months. I can't think of anything where he flipped out no, oh he flipped out on me once.
Speaker 3:Oh, he flipped out on me once.
Speaker 2:What did he flip?
Speaker 3:out on you on. It was a Sunday night. Oh my God, dude, I will never forget it. He calls me at 945 at night. He's like it was during rodeo and the Jonas Brothers were playing and he wanted to know why we didn't have the Jonas brothers ticket giveaway on Monday in our Sunday night, in our Sunday promo. And I'm like, uh, I don't know I could complete miss miss site on our. I want you to go up to the station right now, right now.
Speaker 2:You drove up to the station to put it on Jonas brothers.
Speaker 3:Oh no, no, he's like. I want you to drive up to the station to put the jonas brothers. Oh no, no, uh-uh, he's like. I want you to drive up to the station right now. I want you to recut that. I'm like well, there's a couple things wrong with this johnny. I said number one. It's only gonna play twice more before we go on the air. He goes. I don't care, get up there right now. I'm like well, the even bigger issue I don't know how to produce it that bondra would need to go up there and produce it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we had a producer that did that stuff.
Speaker 3:Oh, then he flipped out even more. You don't know how to do your own production. I'm like. I've never been trained.
Speaker 2:On that particular system.
Speaker 3:I've never been trained.
Speaker 2:We're a big market morning show that has a producer.
Speaker 3:He got pissed, he hung up on me, wow, yeah, I had to call him back and and then I had to call our cohost, jenny, and I'm like how do I deal with this? I'm like I don't. I mean, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. She's like you got to call him back, you just got to explain to him, and Did you? Chill out 45 minutes of getting yelled at Three different phone calls.
Speaker 2:Why didn't he call me? I'm the quarterback of the show. Why didn't he call me?
Speaker 3:I don't think he liked dealing with you as much as he didn't mind dealing with me.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, pat, the least resistance.
Speaker 3:I'm a three-letter word guy. Yes, you're a two-letter word guy.
Speaker 2:No, no, fucking way, way. Let me look at my contract going into the studio at 9 45 and cutting a I don't see it in there anywhere, so that's a big fuck, no, yeah, and, and you know, now, now I'm laughing about it, but at the time I was like, and we're talking about the Jonas Brothers- Not even format, not format and again.
Speaker 2:But he would just get locked on these things and we couldn't read his mind all the time. No, and there were some times where it's like we thought, well, okay, what would Johnny fucking bust a vein in the forehead for? And we'd actually think about it. We'd actually. You know, we didn't want that to happen, but all fairness, hey, siri, these were rare. I mean, we had 17 years with a dude. You had 16 years with a dude, great boss, love him to pieces.
Speaker 3:I still get together with him whenever I come to town for coffee and stuff. Love Johnny Chang. I've often emailed him and told him you know cause I take personality tests and all that kind of shit all the time and I'm like dude, whatever hell I put you through. I am so sorry, I said, but I appreciated the way you managed me, because you didn't manage me cookie cutter. You managed me like you managed me, you know.
Speaker 2:No, that was another thing that it was great at, and I can't speak more kindly of him. And I do that too. And you know me, kev, I don't connect with anybody because I'm weird. Well, and you're level one level, one autistic guy that just very shudders at connections, and I, and I've reached out to him and said, dude, I love you, you were the greatest. Ok, so let's make that clear, right there, all right greatest.
Speaker 3:Okay, so let's make that clear right there. All right, dude, he more than buried the hatchet, he asked me to marry him to his current wife and you turned it into a roast.
Speaker 2:That was awesome, they wanted that. Yeah, that was great, they wanted that. There were some things where I was like oh man, I hope they're not recording that, because you were doing the broken chinese accent and all that stuff yeah, yeah which would you even?
Speaker 2:would you even do that today? Why not? Yeah, why not give us a little piece of it, just like do you remember? Because you always remember your, your best work? Yeah, we know that from you know, uh, god save the queen that you've. You got everything that, really, that you nailed, memorized, like some of the some of the stuff you were doing when you were doing the nuptials for our boss, johnny chang, and share yeah.
Speaker 3:So sharilyn, uh, his wife asked me to officiate. Johnny asked me to officiate and I said what kind of ceremony do you want? And sharilyn says we're coming to you for your comedy. We want I'm like guns a blazing. She's like guns a blazing. I said, okay, you got it.
Speaker 3:So Johnny's uh, uh, relatives from Korea were sitting in the front row and three of them did not speak any English. Okay, so I said basically, um, I said, uh, you know, welcome to the nuptials of Johnny and Sherilyn. Uh, they're very grateful for you to be here. I said you know, welcome to the nuptials of Johnny and Sherilyn, they're very grateful for you to be here. I said, if you'll just excuse me for a moment, we do have some foreign visitors in the crowd and I want to make sure that they understand what's going on. They were sitting in the front row and so I turned to them in the front row and I go oh, hello, hi, kevin Crine, I am employee of Johnny Chang, welcome to the nupturers of Sherilyn and Johnny Ni hao. And then I come back and I, okay, and so his nephews were there and they live in Los Angeles, and so they know they were cracking up.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, they're cracking up and uh and so, uh. Then I turned back and I said now Johnny and Sherilyn have said that they don't want this to be an overly religious ceremony, but they said I could inject a prayer or two. So if everybody would just bow their heads, we'd like to start this with a prayer. Dear President Trump, hispanics are taking our jobs and now Asians are taking our women. Please hurry up with the wall.
Speaker 2:Which you could. You could say that back in what 2017 or whatever it was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, whatever 2016, 2017.
Speaker 2:You can't say that now. Not anymore, not anymore, not even the control freaks. I want to control what you say and what you think they want.
Speaker 3:But you know, our vice president of operations for the entire company, kim guthrie, was there and she asked johnny afterwards do I need to have corporate hr talk to kevin? He's like no, no, we asked him to do that. Was she being real, though? Yeah, she was, yeah. And you know, the band perry was there, the band. They were mortified. Absolutely yes. Johnny told me he goes, kevin, you scared the band. Perry was there, they were mortified, absolutely yes. Johnny told me he goes, kevin, you scared the band Perry, they were mortified.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm so sad. People can't laugh. Why not laugh?
Speaker 3:And then do you remember the record rep, alex Valentine? He called me. He's phenomenal. He lives in New Braunfels. He called me the next week and he goes. Dude, that was the greatest, greatest wedding ceremony I've ever been to. He goes. And I'm performing one in a month. He goes. Can I use some of that material? I'm like, absolutely, dude, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, kev's like, it's Bob Hope. It's like Bob Hope, if you're stealing from me, it's been stolen twice. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome, I mean, I'm so. You know, it's so weird how people you know cause more likely than not, the band Perry and even Kim Guthrie you know, back in the day, when they were younger, they would say everything and anything and they, they just get that. You know it happened to my sister, terry. She lived in california too long. Oh, like I, I did a, I did a joke on her man. I said I said something like wow, terry, I don't know about your thinking you've been in california too long, didn't like that. Huh, he flipped man. Wow, she flipped man. Uh, and that, know that it hasn't been the same in our relationship since then.
Speaker 3:Seriously, oh, wow.
Speaker 2:Since.
Speaker 3:I just you know, is there anything that somebody could say to you that would offend you?
Speaker 2:Nothing. There's nothing. I don't you know. I was taught sticks and stones will break your bones. Words will never hurt you. And. I've always thought that if you show me somebody that gets offended by words and I'll show you a weak human being.
Speaker 3:Okay, let me ask you this though, and we don't have a point of reference on this but if, if we were black and we were brought up during the slave era and somebody did use the N wordword, which was a word that was used to put down that segment of society, I can understand the offense there. I can. Anything else I can't.
Speaker 2:I I just, I've always thought that the complete outrage. You just empowered that person. They that belittled you tried to belittle you by it. You've always said that, yes, if you just empowered that person, they that belittled you tried to belittle you by it you've always said that yes if you just laugh at it, go what?
Speaker 2:because I I've always been from the school of I. Nobody defines me but me and my actions, my work ethic. You can, I don't care, you can say anything you want about me. I know the truth, I know who I am and you can't define me. That's just me. That's not, and maybe I'm wrong in that thinking. Maybe I need to dial back the uh, in sense I'm like, cause I'm not, it's not sensitive to where I don't care. There's no, there's no group of words put together that would offend me Nothing nothing.
Speaker 2:No, I really can't think of anything. I mean you could say something horrendous about my mother or my kids or whatever, but they're just words. Now you raise a hand to my children, my mother, I'll fucking kill you but what about the argument that those words, the intent of those words?
Speaker 2:I, I, I just I can't, I can't think. And maybe somebody can paint a scenario for me where it's like okay, Tuttle, I mean to me, the only words you really can't say is you can't shout fire in a crowded movie theater. People will get trampled and killed. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that doesn't happen though.
Speaker 2:That goes law. People will get trampled and killed. You know, I'm saying, yeah, that doesn't happen, though that's a law. No, that's, that's a law. You can't. You can't say stuff that will cause pandemonium havoc and could get people hurt, physically hurt, just from your words. Can you think of anything? I mean, educate me here, cab. Maybe I'm just a fucking dinosaur.
Speaker 3:No, you, and I agree with this. I nothing could ever be said to me that would offend me nothing nothing, okay, you, you can blast.
Speaker 2:You can blast me with honky cracker you know, all that I laugh at that, but then again and and Eddie Murphy remember when he did, hey, I'm the white guy on Saturday Night, live his white guy guy stuff, and you know the Wayans brothers when they did the white shit, I don't care.
Speaker 3:No, it doesn't bother me, I don't.
Speaker 2:I know who I am.
Speaker 3:You know and here's the example that I was going to use to perfectly illustrate that you can't offend Tim OK, I was so mad when you did not tell me that you were going to Indiana for your dad's funeral. He didn not tell me that you were going to Indiana for your dad's funeral. He didn't tell me. Okay, I had to find out from a coworker that you went up to your dad's funeral. I thought I should have heard that from you. Now, this is when we were really new together and I was like. I was like I, I was hurt. Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but Kev, it was like two in the morning one in the morning I get it, I it, I get it. I know, I know that, I know that and and my mind is elsewhere my dad just died dude, totally understood, totally understood.
Speaker 3:And uh, now I understand it. Yeah, okay, but I I thought, well, you know he doesn't like me and you know he he doesn't respect me and and I don't mean anything to him, and so that was the chip that I was wearing and when you came back I did say I'm sorry and but my comment, and you got to understand, tim's dad was his fucking hero, he was his best friend man. That's the picture of him. Right there. There's Fred and uh, and and my comment because I was still butthurt was cancer, she's population control, and he did not punch me. He did not punch me.
Speaker 2:No, no, because I, yeah, yeah, that's a bullshit thing to say.
Speaker 3:It was.
Speaker 2:But I and this is how I think is I actually felt sorry for you that you had to go there and say that in order to soothe whatever shit goes on in your head. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I felt sorry for you. I was like, wow, man, you, that's, that is you. I mean, you just scraped the box you took, you took that pool skimmer and you went straight to the bottom where the scum is there, and I felt bad for you. I was like, man, because that that's something that probably down road you're like, oh, I shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 3:Oh I, I re that's probably. I don't have a lot of regrets. That's definitely one of the top three. Yeah.
Speaker 2:When you said when you said I'm glad your dad died, it's population control.
Speaker 3:I didn't say I'm glad he died. I did not say that.
Speaker 2:I said okay, that's that's how I have it in my head yeah that's how the story goes on. Yeah, here's what kevin did. He said he was so mad. He said I'm glad your dad died from cancer. And then he kicked my dad's corpse. Yeah, and he said, he said every single year on this date that he died, I'm gonna come to his grave and take a shit on it.
Speaker 3:That's what kevin said to me it's not, but, and and that's why I'm saying it you can't offend us, because if that didn't offend him, I don't think anything can see, I Kev, I know I told you this one is.
Speaker 2:I called my mom the B word when I was 17.
Speaker 2:And I I've my dad, you know my dad's, 40 years older than me, 40 and a half years older than me. Okay, 17 years old, you do the math, that's a 57 year old man. He came up the stairs like I, like he was jesse owens in berlin in 1936, I'm serious. And he, for for a moment I was not his son. He, he got like in position and fight position and he said what did you say to my wife? And I knew I was in trouble there, oh, yeah, Cause I was not.
Speaker 2:You know his golden boy, his slugger, you know the one who has a lot of great conversations with him, makes him laugh, and stuff like that. I was some dude who just chumped his wife. Yeah, you offended his wife, and he brought one up from Georgia. Oh, I mean, he bought one. That's the only time he ever touched me. He never, he never. My mom was a disciplinarian, but my mom was the belt spoon, lamp shoe, shoe. All that stuff was the belt spoon, lamp shoe. All that stuff my dad never did, except that one time. Because what did you call my wife? I'll never forget the look on his. He had the vein speaking of the vein popping in the forehead and I swear his eyes were red, Wow, and I was just like. I am so sorry, dad, I totally deserve that, and I will just go downstairs with my tail between the legs and I'll get a nice pack and I'll be okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, never did it again, did you? Oh, no, no, no.
Speaker 2:There's one thing I can tell you is uh yeah, nobody calls Dottie Tuttle a bitch.
Speaker 3:But let me ask you this Uh, so he, he, he punches you. But what hurt worse, the punch or the disappointment?
Speaker 2:oh, man, that's with my dad always the disappointment. Yeah, man, my dad's being disappointed in me was much more effective than my mom like like beating me with a belt much more effective. I the worst thing to do is is to have fred tuttle down on you. Yeah, yeah, I mean I, oh man, I'm sorry man.
Speaker 2:You hate that, ooh, I can remember sometimes, my heart just beating and I'm in a sweat going oh my God, how do I get out of this? How do I get out of this? You know how would I get out of this, and you know he would let me out, but you know he'd let me think about it for a while.
Speaker 2:You know, I'm not, I'm not going to buddy up, we're not going to go throw the, throw the football, we're not going to do that, not tonight. Wow, you know, he let me, he let me stew in it a little bit and you know, the next day, I, you know I'm so sad, I'm so, and he'd go come here slugger.
Speaker 3:But you know what, the mutual respect that you guys had for each other and the love that you had for each other, that if, if, if the disappointment didn't resonate with you it was a one-way respect, though very important.
Speaker 2:You understand that, like I, I don't, he, uh, he didn't respect me. You know, like like man to man. You know, even when I was getting old, I think that you know like like man to man. You know, even when I was getting old, I think that kev, you remember the, the tv show dexter yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2:Dexter's dad, you know, kind of guided dexter through life. You know he needed some help. He has these feelings, these serial killing feelings and everything like that, and dexter's dad was there. You go, you know I'm this awkward shy. You know they didn't have a name for it back then. They didn't call it level one autism, but I was strange and weird and he's just guiding me through it. He's like guiding me through it. And, to be quite honest, when I lost him, when I was 28 years old, I lost my there's I. I think back to uh so many times that if my dad was still around, things would have been completely different. You know, like, like, like he would, he would have, he would have talked to erica and you know, you know he's a very, very uh, persuasive guy, very intelligent guy he was an attorney yeah, he was an attorney and he would.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he, because I, I, I sometimes, you know, struggled with, you know, being able to formulate things correctly in terms of relationships, you know okay, yeah because, because I don't fully understand the nuances and everything like that, like you know.
Speaker 2:You know I'm saying I do, yeah, I'm just weird, I'm awkward and goofy and it's all inside and I get stuck in my head and something you know, and then I'm stuck in my head and then the wheel is spinning and I know I should be talking. I'm not ignoring you, but I got the shit going on. You know what.
Speaker 3:I'm saying I I.
Speaker 2:That was good therapy. That was interesting, wasn't it? Yeah, do we have time? There's one thing I want to do before we go. Do we have time? Yeah?
Speaker 3:Well, do we get a new girl update? If you're not going to give us a new girl update, at least give us a Cooper update. Tell us that story.
Speaker 2:Okay, Because when I found out about this, I immediately liked new girl. Well, the girl I'm talking to, you know, they're very, very sweet, beautiful woman, very smart and everything like that. She's very interesting and very funny too.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 2:And she, her daughter, actually found a German shepherd in the spring Cypress Kirkendall zone there in a neighborhood, bought it home to her. She lives in that northern region, montgomery County, and she is one of the nicest people, loves animals. I can tell.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she brought the German shepherd in, was taking care of the German Shepherd, trying to find its home and everything like that. And one of the things I love made me laugh is she's trying to familiarize herself with and bond with the dog and she doesn't know the name. There's no tags. So she like remember the name? There's no tags. So she like remember the movie ted? Yes, where you know marky, mark or, excuse me, mark walberg, I'm sorry you're younger kids, he's to me you'll always be marky, mark, right, and the funky bunch. Uh, good vibrations. Anyway, he goes. He's like naming the uh, the female names of ted's girl that you know, cashier, that he's interested in, yeah all right.
Speaker 4:Brandy heather channing, brianna amber, amber, sabrina Melody, dakota Sierra, bambi Crystal, samantha Autumn, ruby Taylor, tara Tammy Lauren, charlene Chantel, courtney Misty, jenny Krista, mindy Noel Shelby, trina Reba, cassandra Nikki Kelsey.
Speaker 2:Shauna, jolene, earlene, claudine, savannah, doing to the dog she's going come here fido. Okay, he didn't answer to that. Uh, okay, rough, come here rough. Oh okay, dave, and just rattling off a bunch of names to see if the dog reacted react. I thought that was hilarious of her that is, and that that dog, by the way, um some, um older gentleman a few days ago came by and adopted, not so fast oh, uh oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:It just reminds me of a movie scene and you're going to know what I'm talking about. He brings the dog home. Let me know what I'm talking about. He brings the dog home. Let me know if I see, cause I don't know if I'm inappropriate here or not.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:He brings the dog home. He puts the dog in his backyard right away. You make sure it goes back. The dog jumped right over the fence, gone, gone, oh no. So he had to to text her. She was so bummed out he had to text her saying he just, he just, he's gone.
Speaker 2:So yeah, that's the update on on cooper oh no, that dog just does not like to be caged that dog's a survivor, though man yeah I was with her, um, one day and we took him, uh, for a walk in the park and let me say this it took everything I got. Yeah, I mean, I I don't. You may not believe this, kev, but I can bench press a shit ton. Yes, I can tell, especially for my age that dog was giving me all I got and I was just thinking to myself cause she's, you know, she's five, eight, maybe a buck 10.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And I was like there's no way you can hold this dog. There's no way you can hold this dog.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you can tell he was powerful in the white.
Speaker 2:He's just so. So he him being out there and more likely or not, because he's a german shepherd, that's a high value dog. He's probably had a home within a half hour, yeah um but if he's not, he's fine. I mean, there's, there's probably a trail of uh, you know, woodland animals and creatures that are dead, and that's probably the best way you can find him he was beautiful yeah, he was cool, he was cool, but you know, she, she, she's interesting.
Speaker 2:I mean, she, something that makes me laugh. She got a speeding ticket, oh, and had to take, uh, defensive driving, uh-huh, and she was taking the defensive driving course while driving. No I was like what.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she's a busy woman. Busy woman, right yeah?
Speaker 2:yeah. Yeah. And then you know she talks about, she does a lot of hikes and stuff like that Cool, and she takes them alone. You know like places, like you know Costa Rica and the jungle in Belize, and I'm like you're all alone, I mean you have some kind of like bear spray or some kind of defense. She's like, oh no, no, I'm. I'm the kind of person that would try to pet the bear. I don't think that's a good idea, not at all.
Speaker 3:Not at all.
Speaker 2:I'm like listen, I'll go hiking with you. We may do one of these one day, if we end up being a thing, but I'm going to be armed to the teeth Because the pictures that you're showing me right now, out in the jungle, it looks innocent enough, but trust me, around the edges I can see eyes. I can see eyes. The last thing I want to do is to be shit out by a Python.
