Buckle up for a whirlwind of excitement and laughs on this episode of the Tuttle & Kline Show! Tuttle narrates his near-miss driving adventure which leads us to a light-hearted take on the rich cultural diversity at his Houston community pool.
A heartwarming tale from a baseball game, where a teenage boy's act of kindness stole the spotlight, leads us into a discussion about parenting principles and the timeless wisdom of a Beatles lyric. We also take a playful jab at the quirks of the younger generation, pondering their readiness for the workforce and the odd phenomenon of bringing parents to job interviews.
Journey back to our wild days of alternative rock radio with tales of outrageous stunts and hilarious pranks that shaped our careers. This is not for the easily offended or the faint of heart as we relive the craziest moments that defined our show.
This episode is packed with laughter, nostalgia, and the chaos that made the Tuttle & Kline Show legendary.

Welcome to the Tuttle Kline Show.
Speaker 2:How are you Phil?
Speaker 3:Wonderful Andrew Phil.
Speaker 2:Really, really good Started off the morning with a nice little trade in the NASDAQ 100.
Speaker 3:All right.
Speaker 2:So I had a little swing position. I caught a 1-2-3 reversal pattern at support and it just started to explode up and I'm just like, instead of scalping out, I'm going to ride this thing. So I decided to ride it, and I'm glad I did Okay.
Speaker 3:In English, please.
Speaker 2:Instead of scalping just for a little bit of cash, I went big this morning.
Speaker 3:Okay, all right, speaking of English, do you remember last week you were talking about that presentation that Jonas had in San Francisco? Yeah, okay, and you posted the title of the presentation on your Facebook page. Yeah, I showed that to my brother-in-law on Saturday and I said can you just translate this into English? Do you know what Jonas was doing? Tell me, he is improving AI. His presentation was all about the inefficiencies and errors that are occurring in AI and he is rectifying that with his presentation.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's a big deal to him and I love that about him. He's you know, when you're talking about that space right there, you've got a lot of I don't know scary people in that space that have very different worldviews than you know most Americans. Okay have somebody with a good heart and a good soul that's in there going. Yeah, let's not have this thing set up where we discriminate against different opinions, where we, you know, launch thermal nuclear wars, intercontinental ballistic missiles to wipe out. Let's make sure we don't do that.
Speaker 3:That would be a great uh be a great uh goal to have.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so he's. He's somebody that's got a good head on his shoulders and he can always be the conscience in the room, you know.
Speaker 3:Very nice. So, yeah, my brother-in-law was very impressed with that presentation.
Speaker 2:You should hear it. Audrey was there. She was in the room and she recorded it. I can't even understand a fucking thing he's talking about.
Speaker 3:Well, that's why I asked my brother-in-law, because that's what he does for a living yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2:Uh, kev, yes, sir, um, I gotta tell you this I was I took the, uh the boys home to their mama last evening dallentimmy, dallentimmy, okay and I had um an experience on the way back. I had one of those Rodney Dangerfield, no respect experiences.
Speaker 3:That's the story of my life no respect That'll get. No respect at all.
Speaker 2:You don't have to no respect at all. Uh-oh, I was literally almost run off the road by somebody that had a choose life bumper sticker Was it on purpose? Tried to run you off the road. I, I, kev I think that they were on their phone, of course, I think they just had no idea. You know, I was caught in a little bit of a blind spot and they just came over and you know I'm doing 70, they're doing about, you know, 75, trying to get on, and just didn't see me and I made an evasive maneuver. I always drive like everybody's. A fucking idiot, you have to.
Speaker 3:You definitely have to. It's called defensive driving. They teach it to you in school.
Speaker 2:And I just laughed because I got to look at the sticker. I'm like choose life. I guess for them that's more about what they're looking to snuff out rather than a pro-life position.
Speaker 3:You're right. Yeah, that would have been a disastrous wreck at 70 miles an hour.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I was, uh, fortunately I was paying attention. They, they did, they did realize what they did. Oh did they wave and gave me that little hey. Sorry, I almost fucking killed you, wave yeah that's always kind. It's always nice. You know that's the least you can do. If you do that is always give the hey. I'm sorry I almost fucking ended your existence on this mortal coil wave.
Speaker 3:You know, when people let you in, do you wave to them Always, always, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And people who don't do it. I mean, I immediately regret letting them in. Yeah, yep, like I want to follow them to where they exit and just have a chat with them. Hey, listen, I'm semi-retired now. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I just followed you an extra 17 miles. We got to talk about something here, oh, do we? Yeah, exactly, son, you're in Texas. We don't have to talk about a goddamn thing. You're right, sir. Have a nice day.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh.
Speaker 2:Kev, this is such a funny story. I, I, uh, I was laughing my ass off after really thinking about it. We were at the pool and you know the pool is. I just love being at the pool watching and listening. Uh, it is. I mean, the the community pool I'm at is a slice of the United Nations. We got everything. Okay, I mean we got. You know Houston is one of the most as a matter of fact, I believe it is the most diverse city in the United States of America Total melting pot, and my pool reflects that. Like, literally right like 55 feet to my right is the pool and it's a big luxury pool and on the weekends, beginning like about Friday at about 4 pm, it just becomes this amazing little, I don't know, like a Petri dish of the world.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, a little microcosm of the planet, sure, yeah, and.
Speaker 2:I was, I couldn't help over here. And there was, there was a high school kid. He's a black kid.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And he, uh, they had. In February was black history month.
Speaker 3:Correct.
Speaker 2:And they had to do a report. You know, choose, you know, you know a biography or something like that and give a report. He worked on it for a long time, I mean he was very proud of his report. He gets gets up in front of the class and he does a report on the Wright brothers. He does a report on the Wright brothers.
Speaker 2:As the two brothers prepare to attempt the first catapulted takeoff, man's age-old dream of flight becomes a reality, and at first the teacher is like thinking, because he's a little bit of a jokester too, but it turned into a thing where you know it looked like he may have been expelled or something like that. Really, yeah, it got it got. It got silly, like like he was, like he was mocking Black History Month and finally, you know his, his dad came in and they were talking about it right there His dad came and says look, you know my son. Wright says look, you know my son.
Speaker 2:right, brothers he, you know he thought brothers yeah, he thought that was the coolest shit ever that a couple black dudes who were brought you know, a couple brothers, uh-huh uh, were the real pioneers of flying no yeah, no they and he, you know, he, everybody was like crying, laughing at that point right, I'm sure because the kid was so scared he couldn't tell he.
Speaker 2:He to himself couldn't tell you know, hey, uh, brothers, brothers don't you know, brothers, you know know he couldn't do that. Oh yeah, okay. So his dad had to find he just, dad, came in and just said misunderstanding here. So they actually gave him a good grade on it, cause it was a really good report.
Speaker 3:It shouldn't matter. It's the kid's report. It's who we wanted to do one on and, by the way, I defy you to find any Africanrican-american black folk named wilbur or orville exactly the whitest names you'll ever find.
Speaker 2:Holy shit, man. Okay, cam, that that's uh, that's just as white as some of the big names in my uh family. We got ebeneezers. Yeah, we do, legit, you know right, obviously, frederick, you know that one, and there's, uh, there's a couple of, uh, black fredericks.
Speaker 3:Who was the the frederick?
Speaker 2:uh, frederick douglas, that's the one I'm thinking of yeah, frederick douglas, yeah, okay, yeah, all right, yeah, I'll give you that. We don't, we don't want to, we don't want to uh names here Except.
Speaker 3:Orville and Wilbur, except Orville there.
Speaker 2:You should know that that's a fucking white guy and his brother another white guy. Have you pointed out something here? And I remember this when it happened 10 years ago when the kid didn't get the ball, that was flipped up into the stands.
Speaker 1:What are the chances anybody in orange was going to get that ball?
Speaker 3:for.
Speaker 1:Favaro None chance.
Speaker 3:Yeah, little guy's bum. Yeah, If we were closer we'd give that guy a ball.
Speaker 1:Yeah, nope, thank you, I'm still not happy.
Speaker 2:See Giants fan, there you go. Save the day, Is that?
Speaker 1:not the best.
Speaker 3:And it's resurfaced for some strange reason and it has just caused division extraordinaire on the Internet strange reason and it has just caused division extraordinaire on the internet.
Speaker 2:Okay, is our supply of outrage, you know, for divisive entities and pussies out there? Is it so low that they got to go back 10 years to find something to be outraged about? Is that? Is that where we're at? Is that where we're at? We've canceled everything, everyone. Let's go in the time machine so we can be victims and outraged and upset.
Speaker 3:Apparently. That's what's going on.
Speaker 2:I mean, what's the issue here? I got an idea of what it is, but what has divided the Internet?
Speaker 3:So the issue is so if a kid cries, he gets what he wants.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that is an issue.
Speaker 3:What lesson are you teaching that kid If you give him something because he's crying? You know, life is unfair. The kid didn't get the ball, live with it. That's, that's what. That's what the divisive nature of the comments are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I see that. And, Kev, you know, as a father, that's always been a big principle of mine If you whine or cry that you want something or you beg for something, you automatically do not get it. I, as a good father, cannot reward that behavior. I will not reward it. Right? Jonas used to, when he was really little, have an issue with that, Dad, dad, you know please, dad, dad. And he finally figured it out. He's like, okay, I just let dad know I want something. If I beg for it, I don't get it. And he but he knows he has dad's got a good memory, he knows I want that.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying yeah, no, I know exactly what you're saying. And now Timmy's issues with it, here and there that he'll grow he'll grow out of it oh yeah, you know, dallas, it tries to tell him, and jonas says it too. When jonas is around, it's like you don't beg dad no, and but here's.
Speaker 3:Here's the thing that with all the comments, you know it wasn't the dad that was rewarding this kid. The dad just let him sit there. The dad's watching the game. Kids got his head in his face or his face in his hands. It was was another kid from a section over. Nobody was commenting on that. Nobody was commenting on what a great standup thing that this complete stranger did this teenage boy everybody's commenting on. You don't reward that. And you know kids got to toughen up. No, I get it. I thought it was a great example that that teenage boy set.
Speaker 2:No, it was very it was. It was a random act of kindness to a stranger that we all need. Yeah, there's no need for divisiveness here. Yes, if the father would have done that, yes, then there, you know, obviously it's not the best parental move. You're, you're creating a monster. But if a random stranger, another kid, a teenage kid, you know, notices that and has the heart and uh, and is compelled to do that, that's a completely different ball game.
Speaker 3:Yes, I agree, and the announcers who saw this uh, they, they commented on it. And then, during a commercial break or in between innings, they got one of the people that was working for the team told her about it. She went down and gave the kid a game ball. Instead of a souvenir ball that he bought, he got an actual game ball. Andrea, one of the folks who works here for the D-backs, came up to our booth. We gave her a ball. She gave it to him and life is good. That's cool. Yeah, you know what, when you give, the rewards you get back are immensely greater than what you gave.
Speaker 2:You have a big saying that I've always had, and I don't know if I've told you this or not. I've always said the love you take is equal to the love you make. It's a well-known Tim Tuttle quote.
Speaker 3:That would sound so good in song, I think. What are you talking about? What if you put music to the end of it and started singing that you?
Speaker 2:know you have some kind of weird smirk on your face. What are you? Well, no, has that been done or something? It does sound awfully familiar.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Somebody did that Beatles.
Speaker 3:They ripped you off. It's another. Who Wait a minute? Who A band called.
Speaker 2:The Beatles? I've never heard of the Beatles.
Speaker 3:Really Well, have you heard about this line? Because I think it's kind of similar you get what you put in and people get what you put in and people get what they deserve you get what you put in and people get what they deserve. You've heard that, but you haven't heard the.
Speaker 2:In the end, it's equal to the love you make how fucking old do you think I am Kevin Klein that looks 60s and shit laughing? How fucking old do you think I am Kevin that looks sixties?
Speaker 1:and shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I always get a kick out of that, cause you know, I, I, I, uh, I'll play a song and it's, I mean, it's just like a classic, like whatever, and you know my kids will be like well, I don't know that, it was before I was born. I was like you still got no history though. Yeah, like you weren't born yet around World War II, but you know we had the Axies versus the Allies and you know it's history.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and didn't Guitar Hero bring back a lot of music that they would have not heard had it not been for that game?
Speaker 2:One of the coolest things that I ever saw was my son Jonas, probably about four years old, playing Paint it Black by Rolling Stones, Nice, and he's just going and I want to paint it black and I'm like this is cool.
Speaker 3:There's a game worth having, yeah. Yeah, this is cool. There's a game worth having, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was awesome. You know there's little Audrey doing and this is the one I had a little issue with Audrey's doing Talk Dirty to Me by Poison. And I'm like you're six years old kid. I know CC had a good riff right there. I know let's go over to the painted black. One kid.
Speaker 3:Exactly.
Speaker 2:I love that. I love that. I am a little bit worried about their generation, though. Kev, I sent you a graphic oh my gosh, In the middle of the week last week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, here it is up on the screen right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was on Fox News, fox News, and that is frightening stuff. During job interviews, employers say recent college graduates have struggled with eye contact. Yeah, they don't look at you, they don't all have autism, they're just used eye contact. Yeah, they don't look at you and they don't all have autism, they're just used to screens. Exactly, they're used to screens.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 2:Uh, unreasonable compensation. They automatically want 72,000 a year as soon as they get out of college. Where's my 70? Way I got it figured is I'm going to need $6,000 a month that's $72,000 a year to do all the stuff that I want to do.
Speaker 3:Good luck with that.
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't get $70,000. My philosophy major doesn't get me $72,000 a year. Dressed inappropriately 47%. And Audrey commented on that because I sent her this and you know she she hires uh these social media workers who go out and do social media for texas state athletics and they're great. These, these uh young men and young women uh really cover uh texas state athletics really really well from a social media viral point of view. But she said somebody came in dressed inappropriately and I I can't remember she I think she had like a like a halter top on and some spandex or whatever and Audrey's like I get why do you? What do you? Yeah, what are you doing? You know?
Speaker 3:Well, that is pretty standard attire at Texas state. Actually, that's more clothing on somebody at Texas state than I saw when I went there. Man, I'll tell you what man. There are some, uh, there are some small bikinis on that Guadalupe river there.
Speaker 2:Uh, indeed, kev, but you know you're, you're not about to float the river. You want the university to hire you and pay you a set a wage, you know.
Speaker 3:Very true, very true.
Speaker 2:So, and this one, this one inappropriate language, I mean, that's a give me. Yeah, you don't drop F-bombs on interviews. No, and and Kev, can you imagine this? You're interviewing somebody for a gig and they will not turn on their camera during the virtual interview. Yeah, that's stupid. Why, why, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 3:And the interview right then, and there Can you turn your computer on. No, I'm not turning it, okay, good luck.
Speaker 2:And then this one Kev, right here is the huge one, and this brought a parent to the interview.
Speaker 3:What's the number on that?
Speaker 2:One out of every five Jeez interview. What's the number on that? One out of every five jeez have reported that, uh, they actually brought their parent to an interview. Is that crazy?
Speaker 3:it's well, it's sad. Really it's really sad. I mean, yeah, I my jaw hit the ground when you sent that to me and I saw that I was like you got to be kidding me. But then, the more you think about it, the more sense it makes.
Speaker 2:How, how does that make sense?
Speaker 3:Because kids are coddled today, tim, I see it all the time. I was at my niece's softball game over the weekend. You would not believe the coddling that goes on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know there's coddling, but, Kev, is it really to the level of? I'm a 22-year-old college graduate bringing my parent to a job interview? Coddling level.
Speaker 3:Yes, because they have been so sheltered, they have been so helicoptered, they don't know how to think for themselves. They can't do anything without the tether.
Speaker 2:That to me is bonkers, I love it.
Speaker 3:It's terrifying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Kev, maybe we do need World War III.
Speaker 3:Aren't we on the verge?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they got to do that. Well, you saw what happened in Europe, man, all the totalitarian fascist people got voted out. Macron and everything like that. All the communists, socialists, totalitarian fascists. We will control everything. We will control you, we will control your speech, we will control your thought Went bye-bye. To quote, unquote right wing, which I get you know, kevin P, I guess people who aren't like like communist freaks, socialist freaks, control freaks or whatever, that just want freedom and want their lives, I guess they're referred to as right wing now.
Speaker 3:Oh, is that what it is?
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's no middle anymore. You're either I'm a totalitarian, fascist commie or I'm a right winger.
Speaker 3:Oh no, there, there hasn't been a middle ground for decades. Now I'm trying. I try to think back. Who was the last president to reach across the aisle, really?
Speaker 2:Um well, clinton reached across a lot of things well, yeah, he did, he did hey, we'll, we'll put this together.
Speaker 2:Hey, we'll go, we're gonna make this work. Come here, baby, but you know. Anyway, getting back to what you were saying at world war three, yeah, I mean, that's the only choice of the top of the triangle. Evil power elite is oh yeah. Well, we got to have a World War III now because we just got our fucking ass smoked and it looks like we're going to get our ass smoked again in November in the United States. Let's have a world war.
Speaker 3:I hope it doesn't come to that.
Speaker 2:I hope it doesn't either. I hope it doesn't either. I hope at some point they're just like you know what. We've garnered billions of dollars and have these great lives. Do we want to sacrifice everything to get rid of the virus? These people?
Speaker 3:you know, the people are the virus.
Speaker 2:We are to them. Look at their own writings and their own writings. They say that read their white papers, man, and once you read where they're coming from, you'll see how everything makes sense. That has been happening since Kennedy was whacked, man.
Speaker 3:I would just prefer to listen to the White Album.
Speaker 2:I don't really want to read a whole bunch of stuff. Who did the White Albums?
Speaker 3:The Beatles. Never heard of them, never heard of them.
Speaker 2:All right, kev, let's do a top three big boy.
Speaker 1:Just when you thought they couldn't count any higher. It's Tuttle Klein's top three.
Speaker 3:It really doesn't have a rhyme or reason. I was just thinking about this the other day. Top three inventions.
Speaker 2:Top three inventions.
Speaker 3:And you could take it from that have impacted your own life or that you think have benefited society.
Speaker 2:Just top three inventions four that you think have benefited society? Just top three inventions. Well, your top three, uh, inventions that have benefited, you know the modern era, who we are as a people now, are eli whitney with the cotton gin that started the industrial revolution and turned us from agrarian to industrial.
Speaker 2:That's a, that's a monster, uh, second one was um, probably the car okay the vehicle and then the assembly line henry ford right, and the third one I would third one's probably the iphone 2007. Really, I would say that those three are the biggest ones Societally wise.
Speaker 3:Uh huh. I would go with electricity. I think that's a pretty important one. We're no longer living by candlelight. You know we could flip a switch.
Speaker 2:Oh, we can see You're jumping in the way back machine. I get it okay cool.
Speaker 3:Oh, henry Ford and the Eli Cotton gin Isn't the way back machine?
Speaker 2:yeah, but yours is the way way back machine oh, I'm gonna go even further.
Speaker 3:Then the radio gave me a career. Thanks, marconi. Thank you, marconi.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then, uh, the toilet yeah with oh and cav shit man. It had me think, it got me think, you know, I I live in houston air conditioning air conditioning. Yeah, that's a big one as a matter of fact, you know, last night it my, my place didn't cool off as much as it it used to cool off.
Speaker 3:So I'm sweating that a little bit I was gonna say your neighbors must have flood warnings.
Speaker 2:I might I guess you might get a flood warning we were under them, yeah, this past weekend yeah yeah, so uh, yeah, I mean the ac. I. I don't know what we would do without the ac unit. What is your temperature down there in houston? We're mid 90s. Uh, now we're mid 90s, bro dude, can you believe what it?
Speaker 3:was in in ph the weekend 113, 115. So the earliest in the year that they've ever had that high of a triple digit. And they're saying that 99% of people in Arizona have air conditioning, 1% of the population does not. And they say if this is a sustained heat dome for over 30 days, you'll see about 18,000 to 20,000 people die in Arizona. Wow, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, all right, dal, and Timmy's mom is from Arizona and they were talking about it this weekend and I was like I didn't. I didn't realize it was that big of a thing. I just I don't watch current events as much as I used to. Okay, you teach me more on Mondays now than I learn by myself the rest of the week. Yeah, so you?
Speaker 3:know the heat dome is right Because that's what John Rogers does, john Rogers need money for it. Our Alabama representative friend. He ran for reelection on this campaign. I need your money for the dome. He wanted to build a dome.
Speaker 2:That's all he said. I mean, hey, hey, john, this is my, my business partner, kevin, kevin John Rogers. We need money for the dome.
Speaker 3:Cause he thought that if they got a dome in Birmingham, alabama, it would attract a professional team, it would attract these conventions. He didn't get his money for the dome they weren't going to attract.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not quite. Not quite. Big enough, not quite. Let me see, we can either put a football team in houston who just lost their oilers, or birmingham, alabama, and then the cardinals leave to ari. Okay, we got another choice here. Where are we going to put the Rams? We're going to put the Rams in St Louis or Birmingham. I think we're going to go St Louis, thank you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but what happens with the heat dome is that this, uh, this hot air uh goes over a certain area like a dome, and then the sun hits it and it magnifies the heat inside the dome. So that's why you're going to see, you could see temperatures up to 120, 125.
Speaker 2:Now, yeah, that's a different kind of heat, though we're used to the wet, nasty, humid heat here in Houston. I'm hearkening back to the record we had last summer, I mean the record highs, and just it was the hottest summer in the history of Houston. That's worse than Phoenix because it's dry, you know, and Tucson because it's dry, right.
Speaker 3:It is a different heat, but when you're getting up to 125, 120, 120 to 125, that's dangerous.
Speaker 2:The hottest heat that I remember, and it's probably because we weren't used to it yet. You know, we lived in Nashville at the time and both of us were from the Midwest when we saw Tyson Holyfield in Las Vegas 1997. It was June of 1997. That to me, I remember, was the heat where we walked outside and you felt like you hit a brick wall.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was stupid heat.
Speaker 2:That was insane.
Speaker 3:Yep, yeah.
Speaker 2:And no wonder Tyson's so angry and wanted to bite shit.
Speaker 3:Oh man, I'm just just outside.
Speaker 2:I'm going crazy right now crazy from the heat. Yeah, do you remember, though, that to me, was the hottest I've ever felt dude, it was insane.
Speaker 3:It was insane. It was so crazy heat. It was I, I think it was. Was it 105, 108, 105, 108? Yeah, it was nasty.
Speaker 2:I just remember, you know, I was outside doing something I can't remember. I was walking to another casino or something like that. Just walking from one casino to another, I come in and I'm dripping you know me, cal, I'm dripping, and then there's Nev Campbell. She walks past me and I'm just she's, she's, I know, and I'm a mess. I can't even walk up to her and say hi to her because I'm just like. I mean, she would immediately like security, right, so I couldn't even have my nev campbell. No, wait, a minute, it wasn't. Nev campbell was. Um, who's the other one?
Speaker 3:denise richards oh yeah, charlotte sheen's xy denise richards.
Speaker 2:This is uh, wasn't that? That was right? Uh, as they were doing um that movie with matt dylan and nev campbell, but she had already done starship troopers okay and I and I just remember her walking across the lobby at the mgm grand as I'm coming in, just sweating profusely and she looks, uh, she looked amazing. Yeah, I, I would you know if I wasn't a total mess, I would you know, go up there and talk to her, because I'm back then, I'm in my mid-20s and I'm a fucking idiot.
Speaker 3:I'll talk to anybody yeah, we didn't realize at the time that all of the hotels and casinos there are connected inside.
Speaker 2:You can just keep walking I know yeah I know, yeah, they told me that a little too late. Yeah, just a little bit too late. So I that's uh, that's freaking hilarious to me. All right, kev, I'm a little nervous about this one. Oh, don't be, I'm a little nervous, you have, and I want to give you a thanks because you know I was going to do like a brainstorm last night, but you already had a list available.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, what did I forget? Because I had forgotten something.
Speaker 2:Kev, I had forgotten most of that. Really, there were just a few and I'll tell you as you go down them, the list on them. You know the ones that I had forgotten. Okay, and some of these you'll have to explain to me again because I forgot. We promised last week that we would reveal some of the bits that Kevin and I did. Now for those unaware, Kevin and I, for our first nine years together, we were alternative rock morning show guys. We did alternative rock shows, morning radio shows, and it was a different time also, so we did extraordinarily edgy content Content so I guess, graphic that there's no way you could do this stuff at all anymore, ever.
Speaker 3:But here's the funny thing about it. Okay, when we did this stuff in Tallahassee, florida, they're called ratings and if you get a five share, that's huge. Okay, we had a 20 share. One out of every five persons in Tallahassee was listening to us. That's big stuff. Oh, it's massive.
Speaker 2:And it was really edgy content. It was back when you could do that kind big stuff oh, it's massive and it was really edgy content. It was back when you could do that kind of stuff and it was when we were doing all talk and we played no music whatsoever nothing.
Speaker 3:The only break we got was when we had commercials yeah, commercial break and I I can remember those days.
Speaker 2:We would just be exhausted after the show because you know that was. That was four straight hours of cranking out content, which it was great. I'm glad we were young when we were doing it. But but there are. There were bits that we did we're going to reveal right now. And again I want to give you the explicit warning that this is not the 93 Q second date update. Tuttle and Klein this is the stuff we did when we had long hair and earrings and very edgy, edgy content.
Speaker 3:This is the stuff that got us hired to be the second date update Tuttle and Klein.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we were doing this stuff, and Johnny Chang's like, hey, I got to have these guys here in Houston, so, kev, what do you got man? Let's go down memory lane right now. Real quick, though. Audrey and Jonas, my kids tune away for the next 10, 15 minutes or so.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you're forbidden.
Speaker 2:You cannot listen to this crap.
Speaker 3:Where do you want to start? Do you want to start in Tallahassee?
Speaker 3:And just go through the progression of Tallahassee. Yeah, start in tallahassee and just go through the progression of tallahassee. Then, yeah, this is tallahassee. Uh, we were in tallahassee, uh, 2000 and 2001. Okay, let me play the sound effect for those listening and downloading. Okay, the warning is there now, thank you. We will start with uh. This was when survivor uh first started, and so, uh, we decided that it would be really cool if our station vehicle was a bread truck and we thought let's get about six or seven people in there and do Flatulence Island, and the last person sitting standing would win.
Speaker 2:And we would be feeding them tacos and burritos and everything like that, and they would just, they were literally trying to gas each other out of the bread truck to see who won. It was a great prize, though I can't remember what it was. I don't remember what the prize was either.
Speaker 3:But yeah, we chose our contestants the day before so they had all night to load up on beans and burritos and Taco Bell tacos. And then we put fart mic in the middle of the bread truck and they all sat inside the bread truck and then, uh, they would, we would hear it.
Speaker 1:That was so hilarious man.
Speaker 2:It was so stupid. I can't believe that. And it was. It was huge. Everybody loved it. Oh my God, it was great. Our big boss, the general manager, john what was his name? John Hunt. He was like he said. I laughed my ass off. You guys are crazy, because that was like one of the first things that we did when we were there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, very early, very early. Then we had this thing because in Tallahassee it's Florida State University and Chris Wienke, who won the Heisman Trophy that year, was the quarterback. So during the college football season we had our what we called knucklehead. His name was Bullet, real name was Aramis Ferlin Jr. He's from Brazil and we would have him take a football and go out on the streets and just pick a random person and say go long, go long. And then they would and he would throw this shitty pass. Nobody could catch the pass it was that bad and then he would get up in front of their face and go oh man, dude, that's terrible, you suck. That's for good luck for the Tallahassee or for the Florida state Seminoles and you didn't catch it. Now we're going to lose this weekend.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and one guy got pissed at it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and chased him, chased him around the block.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we thought we were going to get somebody. We thought we got bullets. Ass beat man Yep. Yeah, he was panting on the phone with us. Yeah, kev. The next one was that, the Blur song.
Speaker 3:Yes, sir, blur song two. Blur song two is about two minutes and 15 seconds long and we were talking about how short that is. And some guy calls us up and says, if you let me come into the studio, the station he goes, he says if you let me come into the studio, the station he goes, I guarantee.
Speaker 2:I can masturbate in climax in two minutes and 15 seconds before.
Speaker 3:Blur Song 2 ends, and so he came into the station. He came into the station. Now here's the thing. Ok, because neither Tim nor I wanted to watch this, so we had our knucklehead monitor, so our knucklehead's sitting there in the corner with this guy who's stroking himself to time it?
Speaker 2:I can't remember. Did he get it? Did he finish in time? He did, he did, yep, yep and he put that on his resume and he ended up being but that led us to another thing, and, and we had this guy, who he was?
Speaker 3:he was creative, but he always talked like he was mentally slow and his name was Merle and he called himself the Wakulla Patriot. Uh, because he lived in a little city called Wakulla and he would get on the mass transit bus and take the bus 45 minutes into our studio and just do things with us. Yeah, and so Tim got this great idea that, well, let's see, a guy can masturbate and climax in two minutes and 14 seconds. Let's see if Merle can get a lap dance and not get hard.
Speaker 1:Yes, so Merle comes in.
Speaker 3:We had strippers yeah.
Speaker 2:Very, very attractive strippers dance for him.
Speaker 3:Well, they didn't have to. They didn't even have to. Do you remember? Yeah, then they walked in and you're telling, you're like, looking at Merle in the face and you're like, okay, merle, you can't get aroused. Okay, you'll win the prize if you don't get aroused. You can't get aroused. Okay, you'll win the prize If you don't get aroused. You can't get aroused. He sits down in the chair. Mr Tim, I'm already aroused. You lose. She didn't even sit on his lap.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what about the one? I, I, I, I'm just recalling one right now. They went. You know, snorkel, one of our knuckleheads. He finally gets a girlfriend.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And he's like oh, we're like congratulations. Oh, by the way, we have a bit idea with your girlfriend.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because his girlfriend liked one of our listeners who was a personal trainer. We called him personal trainer Joey. His name was Joey and so we told snorkel we wanted to test the severity or the sincerity of her in the relationship. So we said we told Joey to come into the station. We got the girlfriend into the station and we said make out with Snorkel's girlfriend, she was all about it. She was all about it, Made out with Joey, right in front of Snorkel.
Speaker 2:She was all about Made out with DeJoy right in front of Snorkel. Here's Snorkel's girlfriend making out with this like fit. You know guy who works out all the time right in front of Snorkel and he's just going.
Speaker 3:I hate this yeah, you guys are jerks man.
Speaker 2:Oh, I know I feel so bad for some of the shit that we did to our knuckleheads, you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they stuck around, though, and they didn't have to.
Speaker 2:Oh, and then we were done with snork. Remember that one time we had them streaking around the building.
Speaker 3:Well, that was our very last day on the air. We had already given our notice that we were moving to Birmingham and they let us finish it out and we said you know, we want to leave with something in their minds and so yeah, so we had a.
Speaker 3:Our offices were basically a square and the square started at the reception desk at the front doors and then he just went down the hallway and just kept making right hand turns and our general manager's office was way far in the back but his door was always open. So we told Snorkel, dude, take a close up and streak the place and go into John Hunt's office and just ask him hey, when's Tuttle and Klein's last day? Today, today. But he does. He did it right and we got called into John Hunt's office the general manager and it wasn't because we had snorkel, streak his office. He's like guys I I couldn't have cared less about that he goes. That was actually pretty funny. He goes. But you had him go in the lobby, yeah, where listeners come in to get their prizes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and there were a couple listeners that were getting their prizes yeah, and they you know it was a, it was multi it wasn't just our listeners, right? So that that was his concern. I mean, if they were our alternative rock listeners it probably wouldn't matter.
Speaker 3:But it was our last day and we were already done, but you know it did leave an impression on us to. You know, think before we act in the future, uh, but um, I, kevin, I'm just remembering um the, the one where we had the uh very hot uh girl.
Speaker 2:She had her lit pierce live on the air. Remember that one, I do remember that, and she almost passed out, or she did pass out.
Speaker 3:She did pass out and that was the thing she wanted to get a piercing. And we said, yeah, we'll be happy to help you out with that. We said, but you can't pass out, you know, you just can't. What'd she do? Get your quick pierced and passed out. I mean, she was out. We thought we were going to have to call the authorities, thought we were going to have to call paramedics.
Speaker 2:It was bad. I know I was not good. She came too, though it was good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she came too, and she was very happy that she did it. She came. Then we had a guy who worked for the Tallahassee Parks Department. His name was Terry I don't remember his last name, but he was from Minnesota and he was a big Fran Tarkenton fan and we used to do this thing and it was really the name of it Make-A-Wish With no Foundation. Why should the? Terminally, it'll get all the fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, make-a-wish With no Foundation. With no Foundation, yeah, why?
Speaker 3:should the terminally, it'll get all the fun. Yeah, that's a wish. With no foundation, with no foundation yeah yeah, and so we would get these unique prizes or situations and we would offer them to our listeners. But they had to do something special for it. So we had this fran tarkington card. He's a hall of famer. So we told terry, what do you want to do for this? And he goes uh, I'll come down and piss my pants. We we're like okay. So he's like can I come in the studio?
Speaker 2:We're like no, no no, he stood outside of the window of our studio and just pissed his pants.
Speaker 3:We had Florida ceiling and we said, come down at six o'clock and you will have from six o'clock until 10, six o'clock until 10, 10 in the morning to piss your pants. If you do, you get the Fran targeting card three hours past and he's nowhere near he's drinking water Like it's going out of style.
Speaker 2:And if you think about it, it's harder to do than you think it is. On purpose, exactly. And I would challenge anybody that's like, oh, that's not a big deal, to do it themselves sometime today, cause you, there's so many psychological and even physiological barriers to doing that. Now, you know, as an adult, you just can't just sit there and piss your pants.
Speaker 3:No, because it's unnatural now. So he comes down there wearing khaki pants and 30 minutes left in the show. He's been trying to pee for three and a half hours and all of a sudden I think I said to him.
Speaker 2:I said to him well, I'm just going to tear up the Fran Tarkington thing. If you can't do it, you're going to tear up the car.
Speaker 3:I'm going to tear the car up, rip it in half, in 30 minutes. Uh-huh, and all of a sudden, just streaming down his leg, that khaki turned dark brown. That was awesome. And then the other thing that we used to do. So we mentioned Merle the Wakala Patriot. Well, he had an on-air rivalry with another listener of ours and his name was Bradley Kerowish, but he was from Britain and he did not have a good set of teeth.
Speaker 3:And so Tim named him yuck mouth. Now he not only embraced this name after we left, he got his own radio show as Tallahassee, as yuck mouth, and he recently passed away due to illness. And do you want to know what the online, the funeral parlor they actually put up? You could write comments about what Bradley meant to you in your life. And they didn't say Bradley, they said tell us what Yuck meant to you in life On his deathbedbed, on his funeral. But he and Merle had a back and forth, because you got this British guy who you know he played up the character he thinks he's better than everybody, and then you got Merle, who's a simpleton from Podunk, florida, and so they would go back and forth and we actually had them on a wrap off that's so funny, that was so.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, uh-huh. You know you had a british guy and a guy who could barely put a sentence together trying to rap. You know, freestyle.
Speaker 3:Well, Merle broke this one out. If heaven ain't like Wakulla, I don't want to go. You can take me to hell and make me sleep with Yuck Mouth's wife. It'd be about the same to me we were, just like horrible ring, masters of this crazy circus you know, uh-huh and then uh, yuck mouth actually had a a another feud with our, our knucklehead snorkel, and so we set up a boxing ring in a parking lot with no padding no nothing. No headgear, no nothing.
Speaker 2:they boxed each other oh my god, that was amazing yeah, that was bad, that was pretty dumb that was. That was amazing, man. I mean I, I, I have no idea, I blame management cav. Oh, do you really there's got to be somebody? Uh, one of the suits is just going. Okay, these guys are going to end up either killing somebody or causing a riot or something like that. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think it was irresponsible management.
Speaker 3:Irresponsible management. Nah, all they saw was one in five people are listening to them, and these are our new rates for advertising.
Speaker 2:Here's our new rates yeah, for advertising here's our new rates. I mean, when we, when we uh, when we gave note, I remember we gave notice that you know we said we're signing a deal with birmingham, they're like don't sign anything yet. I mean they were trying to work some deal where we would be like clear channels, alt rock guys yeah and they're gonna try to get us into miami sometime, and then we'd pipe out from Miami to all these alternative rock stations Because we were. I mean, that was the biggest numbers we ever had.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, biggest numbers they ever had too. So, anyway, those were the things that we did in Tallahassee, and then we get our job in Birmingham, and Birmingham was a little different because it was an older demographic that we were going for and a little bit, I guess, a little bit more upscale, because we played more AAA stuff. Yes, yeah, more adult alternatives.
Speaker 2:We were doing 18 to 34 in Tallahassee. We were more 25 to 54 in Birmingham.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah. The one that really stands out to me was we had a premium concert package and we decided it would be great to have people do the milk challenge, where you drink a gallon of milk and then you try and hold it in for an hour and then, because you can't't, it's virtually impossible to drink a gallon of milk and not throw it up we remember the vomit mic yeah, our, our producer, doc adams, developed a milk mic, vomit mic took a mic and wrapped it around in the plastic or something like that, so if somebody had to throw up, they would throw up right on them and you could hear them oh, the sound was amazing.
Speaker 2:The most, probably the most amazing sound I've ever heard on the radio. People's throwing up, Throwing up milk and the splash Cause. I mean when you throw up, like if you're chugging milk and you throw up, I mean it's just, it's technicolor, I mean it's projectile, it's a ton of liquid.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this is what it looks like If you're watching on screen. This is creosote from Monty Python's the Meaning of Life. This is what it looked like A new bucket for monsieur.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it. That was great. That was like one of the first things we did, so birmingham got a taste of tuttle and klein right off the bat, yeah, right off the bat, uh, and then uh.
Speaker 3:So, but we did actually have somebody do it. Somebody actually did drink the gallon of milk and held it down, yeah, yeah now.
Speaker 2:We were told at a later time that we could have killed people doing that yeah, well, drinking too much water can kill people yes, we saw that, yeah, we saw that too.
Speaker 3:That was not us that was not.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we, by the way, even though there were a lot of close calls during our nine years as alternative rock morning shows we did we never killed a knucklehead or a listener no to our knowledge, to our knowledge To our knowledge, yeah no, and we were never sued.
Speaker 3:So hey, all good. We had tickets for fish, and neither Tim nor I are big fish fans, but we wanted to make fun of their listeners, so they're typically called tree huggers. So for fish tickets, we had people come down and hug a tree. Not just hug a tree, but you had to stay connected to the tree, and the last person standing hugging the tree got the fish tickets. It lasted, was it 18 hours or something?
Speaker 2:18 hours hugging a tree. How do do you remember these Kev? Is there a list? Something? I don't remember some of these.
Speaker 3:Oh no, I just I remember them Seriously. Yes, sir.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's amazing. I mean, I don't. You're doing awesome with the recall. What else did we do in Birmingham Kev when we were, you know, young kids?
Speaker 3:Our general manager was kind of a pervert, kind of Terry Bond, yeah, and he had heard about the clitoral piercing and the strippers dancing in Tallahassee and he wanted nudity in our studio.
Speaker 2:He flat out had a meeting with us after the show early on there and said I want nudity, I want naked women in there. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And so, uh, we had a um, we had a trip that we were given away and he wanted nudity and we thought, well, you know what, we'll just do the body hair way off, women only body hair way off. And it was whoever could take the most hair off their body and we would weigh it. Yeah, put it in a plastic bag and we would weigh it. And, uh, you know, girls were getting naked in the studio. They were shaving all over the place. Yeah, I felt bad for the four girls that came in and did the whole shaving and stuff, because the fifth girl comes in and she's got crystal gale hair down in the middle of her back and she's just like, takes her best friend and says, here, take the scissors, cuts off all of her hair, never took her clothes off, never shaved, didn't do anything boom, game over, game over.
Speaker 2:We, we win. Yeah, where are the fucking tickets? That's right, and I like how she waited until right to the end too. Like you girls, go ahead and waste your time just like knew, knew she had the nuclear bomb so and then we had a.
Speaker 3:We were doing this thing where we were going to broadcast from Orange Beach. Was it Orange Beach?
Speaker 2:yeah, we had a beach house, yeah, and we had some games going on at the beach house.
Speaker 3:Right, but in order to qualify to get into the beach house and it was girls only because, again, our general manager, and so they had to answer questionnaire and stuff like that and then see how far they would go to get this week long trip, and it was all expenses paid and all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 3:And um, they, uh, we had, uh, what six, six girls, three on each side, Okay, and we were doing some games down there and one of the games was it was it was based on survivor basically, and one of the games was whoever, it was based on Survivor basically, and one of the games was, whatever team won, they got dinner cooked by me and we served them. You know, the guys served them. So I did the cooking and Tim got all of the serving and stuff ready. But what Tim decided to do was have our big. He was very tall and, uh, apparently very well endowed as well. Uh, so the first course was just picture like a prim and proper waiter coming over with the stainless steel uh top, and so he, he comes over to the table with the three girls who won?
Speaker 3:takes the top off of the serving container and there's his member laying right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it was kind of like bachelor party. Nick the dick.
Speaker 1:Here's your orders. Ladies, you can help yourselves.
Speaker 3:Is that the football?
Speaker 1:And then some.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was so funny too, that was I remember big trouble for that oh yeah, we got in trouble for that one. I guess we weren't supposed to have um listeners contestants touching a penis.
Speaker 3:That was bad yeah, so yeah uh, then we, uh, then we had. This frightens me still to this day, because the aftermath of it was just the site was terrible. Uh, what would you do for? I don't even know what the prize was, but it was what would you do for? And some guy calls and says I'll, because our frequency was 1057, okay. He says I will, I'll have my buddy stand 107.5, okay, 107.5 that's right.
Speaker 2:So he, I'll have my buddy stand One oh one.
Speaker 3:Oh, seven, five. Okay One, oh seven, five, that's right. So he says uh, I'll have my buddy stand 10 feet away like a free throw and I will take 107 paint balls to the chest. They're like you're an idiot. He goes no, I'll do it.
Speaker 2:Comes down and sure, point blank, point blank.
Speaker 3:Yeah, takes 107 paintballs. I mean, his skin was ripped wide open, he wouldn't stop. We were like begging him to stop after like 50. He's like no, I'm going. Yeah, I made a promise.
Speaker 2:That's right. I follow through. I'm here to do what I got to do.
Speaker 3:His chest was all bruised, it was bloody, it was. I mean, I can still see it in my head. I can still see it in my head. Yeah, that was hard, man, god man, I just. And he didn't win. No, he didn't, he didn't win. We weren't judging, we had actual judges, okay, and the one that won, uh, one, was a young lady who decided she was going to bathe in clam sauce and then drink it. So she gets clam juice, like hundreds of bottles of clam juice, puts it in a metal trough, gets in it, starts swimming around in it and then just starts dipping a ladle and drinking it. That's so crazy. I mean, how do you think of that Number one? I don't know, man, dummy shit.
Speaker 2:I don't know, man. I mean, how do you say, hey, I'm going to piss my pants in front of a window for a friend?
Speaker 3:I mean, you know, we brought out the best in folks.
Speaker 2:I know I mean. Where does it come to? Hey, I can jerk off in two minutes and 15 seconds. You know what I'm saying. Know exactly what you're saying brother, it just Kev, it wasn't us, we just enabled it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, hey, it was Jerry Springer on the radio.
Speaker 2:I know man, it was so bad.
Speaker 3:And then the other thing that we did, and we would have our knuckleheads do stunts for us. So you know, it's it's audio, and so they had to be very descriptive. Well, this one, uh, was a total Tim idea, but man did it hit. It hits so good. Uh, we took one of our female knuckleheads and we had her go to a department store and go in the dressing room with her cell phone and she had to call the front desk and say hey, I'm back in your dressing room and I need a little help. I crapped my pants. Oops, I crapped my pants.
Speaker 2:Oops, I crapped my pants. Oh my God, that was awesome, that was so. Oh my God, that was so. I can remember I was in tears laughing. I was in tears did because didn't we have it piped in where we could hear the phone call. Yeah, yeah, we, yeah, she called customer service of the store. Uh-huh, and yeah, because we could hear. You know what? I can't remember the she had us on speakerphone.
Speaker 3:Oh my god, that's hilarious and we could hear everything the customer service rep at the front desk was saying.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry I'm back in the dressing room and I crapped my pants. Need a little help. Need a little help. And God bless that lady. She was like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry they ran pants back towels. I'm so sorry. You know we'll get you. They ran pants back towels and everything like that. You know, yeah, that was a. That was a good customer service rep. I mean, I'd imagine if you did that today they'd be like so can you stay in there until the next shift?
Speaker 3:comes. Yeah, man, Our, our, our girl got a free pair of underwear and a free pair of pants.
Speaker 2:Hilarious man, I felt terrible for her. Oh my God, that was awesome. Yeah, yeah, that is a great. Uh, walk down memory lane man. That was great.
Speaker 3:We still can't believe that we got away with some of that stuff.
Speaker 2:No, no, some of it you know, some of it is, uh, you know how? How did the FCC? Where's the federal government when you need them?
Speaker 3:Well, the federal government, uh, they, they got in. We got in on their act too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we were down in Florida, tallahassee, ground zero for the uh the election, uh Al Gore and uh George Bush, and uh, our, our knucklehead snorkel actually got on CNN and got beat up by Shep Smith.
Speaker 2:Yeah, shepard Smith. Uh, umepard Smith elbowed him and get to get him out of the way. Got pushed away by him while he's on the air, yeah, while he's on the air. Yeah, so that was so funny, man, it was just so. Such crazy times. Good times, kevin Kline. We should write a book sometime, but that sounds like a lot of work, so we won't.
Speaker 3:No, not anymore. All you got to do is just talk and then it'll write it for you.
Speaker 2:Exactly, it writes the shit writes itself, man.
Speaker 3:Matter of fact, I'm going to have that transcribed by AI, Right right.
Speaker 2:Boom.
Speaker 3:There it is.
Speaker 2:Can have it printed out on a PDF. It'll be available on Amazon. There you go. That's hilarious man. I love it. It's good stuff, Good stuff. Hey, before we go, we got to talk about our weekly rabbit hole. People like it when we tell the rabbit holes we were in the last week.
Speaker 3:It's strong. It's a great segment.
Speaker 1:I love it. What rabbit hole did you get caught in, Kevin Klein? I put a video on my Facebook page and it was six guys line up on a line and they run across this yard and it's called Dog Collar Roulette or Invisible Fence Roulette.
Speaker 3:Only two of the six collars were connected to the invisible fence line and when they make, when two of them make contact with the fence, the shot collar goes off. And uh, she just posted it. And then all of these people start commenting oh wow, if it hurts humans, just imagine what it does to the dogs when you put it on them. And it became this whole dog lovers versus dog, not lovers or dog, and I just got sucked into that whole argument and stuff like that and both points, both sides, made valid points. You know the, the people who actually?
Speaker 3:There was one lady who says I would never put something on my dog that I wouldn't put on myself. So I've done this before. And she says I turned it on one and then I turned it all the way up to 16. She's like, yeah, if you do it on 16, it's going to be animal cruelty. But she says if you do it on one, two or three, the dog still feels it and it's better than to feel it, than to run out and get hit by a car. That's true. That's what I said. That's a valid point. That's true. You're not doing it for abuse, you're doing it to notify the dog that, hey, you don't need to be going there.
Speaker 2:Hey man, you can't give your dog an electric charge. Really, how would you like your dog under the fucking wheel of a truck?
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I thought that was a valid point. And then the other one was just last night I was looking up running shoes Again. Oh shit, tim, I spent three hours looking up different running shoes.
Speaker 2:Don't you know it already?
Speaker 3:No, because they change versions every year. Now you got the more V4 version 2. Now you got the. You know.
Speaker 2:I figure, don't you have an endorsement? Deal with somebody. I wish Damn those things are expensive. Hey, kevin klein is one of the premier distance runners in the united states. If there's anybody that's listening to this, that's either in or know somebody that's in, the running shoe business. Give klein an endorsement all right yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2:by the way, that gives me an idea for next week. Remind me of that. Endorsements Okay, Just put endorsements and then I'll do my plan, my game plan. But my rabbit hole, Kev, was. I just wanted to see To me, I thought it was urban legend about people getting murdered doing Craigslist stuff. Oh no, that was real.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I was wondering if it was like, because it just seems to me like when you do a Craigslist transaction, when you go to somebody's house or somebody comes to your house, it's like both people that are on the defensive they're expecting to get murdered. You know, uh-huh. I mean in your mind frame is okay, I'm going to sell that gaming chair right there, somebody's going to come over. They got $95. I've got to out-murder that murderer. Better be quick. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So everybody's like that, everybody's like really on the defensive. I mean, know, cab, I I was actually. I actually did sell something and I had my shotgun. Yeah, and you know I had. I had my nine and my small on my back. I had my shotgun literally around the corner. I had, I had everything barreled and ready to go. Man, all I had to do is squeeze Just for somebody to come over and buy one of my golf clubs.
Speaker 3:We sold something last week on marketplace and I had to go with Trish to meet the buyer at a neutral location. I'm like, yeah, I'll go with you, but what the hell am I going to do? You're the dude in this relationship.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like, yeah, I was like's, like. Well, she's probably thinking, yes, I would have to like spring into action if something went down, but it may be a deterrent having, you know, a guy there, even though the guy's a little pussy you know what am I gonna do?
Speaker 3:I'm wearing a floral paisley shirt. Dude's gonna look at me and go. I got no problems here, man, he's listening to strice.
Speaker 2:and you know I wasn't gonna attack you, ma'am, because I saw you brought this gentleman here, but seeing who he is, I'm just gonna go ahead and rape you and he's going to watch, yeah.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, but no, there was a Craigslist serial killer, yeah, yeah. But you know, and then it sprung some copycats too. There was some other stuff happening. So that's just so funny. Because you know, I sold the golf club. And then after that I'm like, is that really a thing? Cause the guy who came, you know, is it a cab? You know, a mid thirties executive type? Yeah, I mean, he's a golfer, for God's sake, Right, and he was on edge too. He was like, hey, what's going on here? And then he sees me and I'm a bigger dude and he doesn't want to come in and I'm like you know, okay, you know, whatever you had him come to the house.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean he, he lived, he lives, uh, I I said something um uh at in the weight room here. Yeah, and you know his, his buddy lives here. You know was looking for the three wood I had.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:So you know, I didn't put it on a Craigslist. I don't put shit on a Craigslist. Right this was word of mouth.
Speaker 3:This was safe, it was word of mouth, and somebody that lives in your complex it was a friend of theirs.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't have, yeah, I just said okay, I wouldn't have, yeah, I just said okay, but he was a little nervous though, man, and I was like I don't know who this is either. So I'm ready. Well, sure, so you know I'm. I'm even practicing Kev, pulling from the small back. Pull from the small back, I am, I am small back. Bang, bang. Okay, and then how quick can I get the shotgun?
Speaker 3:How quick can Crazy? Well, it makes me wonder is it worth it to sell something If you got to go through that amount of stress? A couple hundred bucks, okay, all right.
