(02:54):
way or another here today in Hollywoodswinging. They're all disastrous stories, all
right. Some are large disasters,some are small disasters. This first one
pretty big scale disaster. If youask me, I personally am scared of
roller coasters. I don't really liketrams, buses, buses, things.

(03:21):
There was a big I know,there was a big jump there from roller
coasters to trams. And I didn'tused to be this way. It used
to just be a fear of rollercoasters. But now I just feel like
disaster is striking so much more,and when you're putting your life in somebody
else's hands. And now maybe alsobecause I'm a mom and I'm a worry
wart, is it striking more oris it just easier for you to find

(03:43):
out about it? Well, Idon't know one or the other, I
guess, or I'm finding out aboutthe fact that it is just striking more.
But there's another disaster that has struckand this has to do with a
tramp. Has to do with atram. You get on a little tram
at the theme park. You thinkyou're gonna have a nice, grand old

(04:05):
time. You got your camera aroundyour neck, your Universal Studios Hollywood.
Is that what happens? Tram disaster? Tram disaster? What kind of tram
disaster? Well, there was atram at University Universal Studios Hollywood this past
Saturday that crashed. It sent fifteenpeople to the hospital. A tram crash.

(04:30):
Authorities are believing that this crash happenedin the studio back lot while making
a turn and the last car hita guard rail and it tilted and ejected
multiple passengers from the tram. Tram. Fifteen people go to the hospitales driver
going too fast? Probably one couldhave been Yeah, was this on the

(04:53):
studio lot tour ride? I thinkso that's a classic. You've been on
that? Oh my, I'm anAmerican. I haven't they got jaws?
Well, you know, I Imainly I have been on it as an
adult. I mainly remember it fromwhen I was a kid, and I
would anticipate that Mike's childhood predates UniversalStudios. What about you groups Have you

(05:16):
been to Universal Studios? Yeah?I was pretty young, so I don't
remember it greatly. Do you rememberthe wonderful heat coming off the fake pyrotechnic
explosion when Jaws pops out of thewater. That was pretty cool. It
was pretty cool. Oh, okay, I was gonna say I hadn't been
there, but I feel like thatin your memory something I know, right?

(05:38):
Yeah? Could that have been it? It wouldn't have been at Disney
Universal Studio. That's because I knowI've been to the Disneys. They got
rid of the Back to the Future. I don't like that Back to the
Future ruled. What's the movie thathad the Little It might have been Back
to the Future, the Little Gizmo, the Little Oh Gremlins, Yeah,

(06:01):
grem Yeah, So that would probablybe at a Universal Studios if I saw
something We're I think so Gizmo wasthree D and popping out in front of
me, and I thought I couldpet it, And then I was really
sad when I realized I couldn't.Yeh, I'm perpetually sad that I can't
pet Gizmo? Are you? Ilove that movie so much, it's so
cute. Grandparents owned a wide numberof hs's when I was a kid,

(06:24):
and i'd go visit them, andonly one of them was worth watching.
There's Gremlins, So I've seen itabout two hundred times. Okay, so
I must have been to university.You never gave any of the others a
chance. No, it's all adultstuff, not that kind of adult stuff.
These are my grandparents. But likeJFK the movie, I'm not watching
it as an adult. I've seenit. You know, I've got my

(06:48):
problem with Oliver Stone. But doyou just see how a nine year old
has no interest in that? Whatabout busting the babysitter three? Yeah,
a nine year old would probably beinterested. But I think that cabinet's locked.
Well, this all went down onSaturday, and it sounds like,

(07:09):
I don't know, pretty harmless.I guess there were no uh enough,
no alcohol and drugs were considered tobe a factor in the crash, So
we don't have a story of likea crazy tram driver that was drunk or
whatever and going crazy. I willrun over you. I guess the crash

(07:33):
happened though, right after the trampassed Jurassic Park cars. Here you go.
I really heightened the feel. Youknow, you already kind of got
that in your mind. Mm hmm. How their tram didn't work in the
time when you really needed it too, mm hmm. Yeah, well,
I don't know. I recently Iremember hearing about like one of the riverboat

(07:55):
crashes on one of the river ridesat Disney. I just feel like these
things are happening more and more,and I fear them. I fear the
riverboat, I fear the tram,I fear the bus. Are you the
helicopter? Definitely the helicopter. Ijust feel like there's such a big leap
between everything else you said and bus. I know, but the common denominator

(08:16):
is somebody else has control. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don't.
I don't necessarily fear like an uber. So I don't know. Maybe
it doesn't make any sense. AndI think that most of the time,
most of our lives, if therewas an accident on a Disney ride,
you just wouldn't hear about it.It's not you know, like if it

(08:37):
used to be that the morning newswould need to report on it in order
for you to know, or thatlike it's on CNN like that stuff just
not making. It's still not makingthe Morning News or CNN. But now
you can get on TikTok. Youcan see cool video of it. But
it doesn't It doesn't mean it's happeningmore. It just means easier to find
out about. You're not in anydanger, not anymore a danger. Are

(08:58):
you in favor of the TikTok?No, it's the best app in the
entire world. I love watching TikTok. Yeah, would your life be shook
if TikTok was banned? It wouldbe worse. Maybe you'd go outside and
play. Would you think about movingto Russia? No, it's a question.

(09:20):
There's probably a lot of in betweenoptions. Right I could just go
back to Ireland. Yeah, youcould, and I might. All right,
So that was the first disaster.I have more disasters to tell you.
Just let us know. We're goingto need a new fill in if
you do. You can't leave this. This one's not a not a huge

(09:43):
disaster, and really only one personwas maybe injured. But I love a
good tump. I love when peopletump over. One of my favorite things.
Now I have tump over. Yeah, yeah, tumping? What fall
down? Oh? Oh, okay, I love it when people tump over.
Yeah, if I fall down,it's hard to square with your fear

(10:05):
of buses. Is the thing you'reafraid of that you'll tump. But you're
you're saying I love thumping. Yeah, I don't personally love too. Tump.
I had a pretty good one.But no, it's been a year
or two, but I had apretty good tump while trying to run with

(10:28):
my dog. Oh how many timesdo you generally tump over per year?
Do you think? Like one ortwo? Like good tumps? Yeah,
just a good old fashioned tump.But this one was with my dog,
and my dog's too, so Iknow that this happened within the last two
years. All right. So whenyou tump over and you're out in public
with what do you do? Lookaround to see who saw? Hope that

(10:52):
nobody saw, and if they did, run away. When I tummed with
my dog, I thought that Iwas alone. It was like, you
know, the sidewalks in my neighborhood, and I think most neighborhoods are probably
not always even. Yeah, Andso I was running with the dog and
started get going at a good paceand kind of just started getting in the

(11:16):
zone and all of a sudden andoh yeah, herd. I scrapped up
my leg pretty bad. Ah.But I held onto the dog thankfully,
because I don't know. I don'ttrust her to let go over. She
could have ran away and done somethingbad. But I look up and the
first thing is like, you lookall around. And I thought I was
in the clear, but there wasa car driving by, and the car
stopped and was like, are youokay? And then you laugh it off,
right, That's that's the second step. First look around. Second,

(11:39):
laugh it off, even if you'rein pain. Yeah, I was doing
that. I was like, ohman, that's funny. No, you
go on with your day, allgood, nothing to see here. And
then the second there around the corner, you're just rolling around. Ah ah

(12:00):
pretty much. Yeah. Our uh, our friend Dan McDowell. I used
to watch his house from time totime whenever my dog was young. I
was running with the dog in Dan'sbackyard and we reached the deck and it
was a little higher than I hadanticipated, so my ankle like flush hit
the deck and then I just wentdown and I was forward, yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah, and uh, no one else was in there.

(12:24):
I was the only one watching thehouse. It's in, you know,
pretty spread out area of South Lake. I felt confident I could react.
However, I wanted to uh,and then realized later that he had security
cameras back there. I think I'veseen it. Yeah, thanks, I
feel like I've heard about this.I haven't seen it though. Yeah.
I spent a good five minutes justand forth. It hurt a lot.

(12:52):
It made me. I think ofit every time I see an athlete hurt
in a game, like every basketballgame, where they like go up to
do something and don't quite have theirfeet under him and just hit the hardwood
full on and then just pop uplike I'm fine, that's well, Like,
how would they react if no onewas around? Though, They'd be

(13:13):
like yeah, yeah, I thinkthey'd be like, that hurts. It's
a good tump if it makes youroll around on the ground and make that
noise. Yeah. So who elseis tump? Brian? He did.
He did two time CMA Entertainer ofthe Year, Big Giant country music superstar

(13:37):
Luke Bryan tumped over on stage Andit's better obviously if you can see it,
but I do have the audio.So he was playing a show in
Vancouver, Canada part of a Vancouver, Yeah, part of a country music
festival. Kind of like country musicup there. I guess they do.

(13:58):
They do not like the country music. Well he's been here for so long,
but his brother that still lives upthere, does they have They have
different country music, like I mean, they have people like Luke Bryan that
go everybody knows. But they havesome of their own country music, you
know, stars that we don't know. One of them called Blue Rodeo I
was introduced to. I really lovethem. Canadian country Rodeo you have They're

(14:24):
Canadian. Canadian country music sounds likea nightmare. Why just it's it's Would
you say that about like Minnesota?Yes, yes, I would, I
would. Uh huh, Well,look I'd rather listen to Minnesota, you
would, because it's George Washington andeverything. You know. What's really funny

(14:46):
is this is the second time GeorgeWashington. We're American, They're not.
There's this country music festival about You'regood. There's a c music festival going
on in Canada. It was asecond time that I heard about it this
weekend, because the other time wasa tweet that I saw that I thought
was really funny. Because the Predatorsand the Canucks are playing in the first

(15:09):
round of the playoffs. And itwas like this Nashville reporter that said,
like, he lives in Nashville,he went to Vancouver for the game,
and he was like, man,I was just so excited to get out
of country Nashville and not have toworry about any of this dumb country stuff
and go see another part of theworld and in another country, and go
up to Canada and experience what Canadais all about. And then got to

(15:31):
my hotel and there's a country musicfestival outside of my hotel going on right
now. And that's this same countrymusic festival where Luke Brian tumps. All
roads lead back to Luke Bryan.Yes, this guy takes like a vacation
to India and the same thing happens, and then there's another country music festival
his weekend. Brian, there's aninvisible string that's attaching this reporter in Luke

(15:56):
Bryan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're out their life. Thank you
Singapore. Right oh man, Okay, Well, I have the audio of
Luke Brian tumping over and you canhear. I just want you to listen
to the crowd because you can hearthe crowd like Luk Brian and then and
they kind of get freaked out,and then Luke Brian pops up and he
tries to save it by making allkinds of jokes. He's like very rapid

(16:18):
fire, just firing out jokes becauseI think he didn't know what to do.
And it's kind of funny. There'sthe fault and still playing. All

(16:40):
right, it's okay, will be. I got to see it. He's
looking at someone's phone to see whathe looked like tumping over. Oh god,

(17:04):
he saw him so fall up onsomeone's phone right there. So basically
so he felt because someone threw theirphone on the stage and he tripped over
the phone. And that's why yousaid, my lawyer is going to be
calling to the person who threw throwyour phone. I don't know, I
don't know. Maybe they were doingthe drugs. Later you would think,

(17:26):
why, I've never had done adrug that made me want to give my
phone to someone else. Everybody differently, that's true, that's true. Well,
at least he can look on thephone and find the number and figure
out whose it is. I wouldn'twant it at that point. This is
my phone now mm hmmm, Idon't have to give it back. Yeah,
I know who to sue. Hewanted to see what it looked like

(17:51):
when he tumped on stage, andI highly recommend if you're listening and want
to see Luke Brian tump on stage, google this fall because it's a good
one. And he falls straight ontohis back like it looked like it really
hurt. And I bet after thisshow he went home and rolled around on
the ground and was like, ah, oh yeah. But in the moment
he was like, jokes, Igotta make jokes. Show me that phone.

(18:11):
Let's see what it looked like.Everybody, do you do you have
more tumping stories. I don't wantto spoil anything if you're about to do
it. No, I I thinkthe same thing happened to Kid Cuddy at
Coachella this weekend. Oh really,yeah, I saw video. It was
someone on the first row where he'strying to do a cool thing where he
goes down to the crowd and huh, he's there's kind of like it's the

(18:33):
stage, and then something that hethinks is more solid than it ends up
being that he steps onto and thenso it's like, all right, I
really don't like what's going on,but I can't stay here, so I
need to go down. And thenhe does and he doesn't get back up.
Oh no, you could crumpled inthe ball with the rest of the
song playing for a little bit.Well, and I saw on Madonna's current

(18:53):
tour she tumped over because she wentto sit on a chair and the chair
wasn't in its normal spot. Ohno, you one. All the way
down, people be tumping every peoplewill be tumping. You think it's embarrassing
to tump when nobody's looking. Canyou imagine tumping on stage? That'd be
tough in front of all of yourfans. Be glad you've never tumped Mike
with petty theft or have you?He probably? I don't think I have.

(19:18):
You've maintained your feet for one hundredpercent of every Petty Theft gig.
I believe, so doesn't pass muster. Wow, I don't buy it.
I hope we didn't just jinx it. No, I can't. I don't
remember. Well, yeah you wouldn't. Yeah, I would too. Just
the way you get drunk at thesegigs. Yeah, if you're if you're

(19:41):
pumping over drunk, you know it'salways the strongest of possibilities because I drink
so much at those gigs, right, yeah, you get black out.
I fear that worse than anything.Sure me too. Did you like a
rundown of the this stage beforehand,just to see where any tumping danger zones

(20:03):
might be and stay away from them. I'm very mindful of it, okay.
And I'm very mindful as I maymove around up there, you know,
looking for cables or anything else,making sure shoes are tied and what
you know, anything that could happen. I try to be mindful of it.
It sounds like you've done a goodjob of that thus far. Congratulations.

(20:27):
All right, Well, we've gota more tumping over talk coming up
next because we got to talk aboutthe Mavericks and they kind of tumped over
yesterday in LA. That's next inthe best damn Sports segment period
