Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, if we were on break, we're talking about
the different things. And I want to tell you this.
So in your business, when you pay that actor that's
a prima donnor the actor that just you know is
easy going, do you ten nine nine them or do
you pay them on payroll?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I don't make I don't pay people enough over the
course of the year to worry about it.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
To do I have to do it ten nights. Okay.
So with that being said, so I think HR departments
and attorneys have killed the workplace. And here's why I
want to say this. Everybody's like what probably is, attorneys
in HR have blanketed everybody is the same, no matter what.
Now that sounds bad, but let me explain why I'm
saying that. When I was in the automotive business, every
(00:41):
salesperson I treated differently. I wanted to know if you
had baby mama drama. I wanted to know if you
had deadbeat husbands. I wanted to know if you were
behind on your bills and you were worried about your
car payment. Rather than taking a customer and selling a car,
so I was able to manage everybody individually because I
wanted to know their story. Right in your industry? Do
you you have to do that too, But do you
(01:03):
get ever, say, persecuted for well, you won't hire her
because she's known to be a problem child and she
can sue you.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now, you know, I haven't gotten too much of that.
I know there are people who watch kind of how
people are casting and how people and people being other
theater groups, including mine, how they are being cast or
how you know, what kind of people they're using, and
they you know, and they're all interested in you know,
how many people of color do you have?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
How many? They do ask you that? Well, you know
what you get asked that.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Let me tell you grant applications, grant applications, Yes, how
many people of color on your board? How many people
of how many are transgender? How many identify? Is this
that or the other thing? And they ask me, I
don't know, I don't know, but you know, if you
want to get the grant money, you have to ask
answer those questions. And I don't mind answering those questions,
(01:54):
but you know, you answer these questions and you're thinking,
am I answering the right?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I mean? Is this what they want to hear? That?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It really should have no bearing on what I or
any of the theater company or any company in the
world is doing counting how many people you have who
identify to a certain thing.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
What if what if we Okay, that's funny you bring out,
because what if the NBA? What if we sued the
NBA and said there are not enough white players?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
On me?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Now, I would argue with anybody, hands down, my black
athlete friends are ten times better than anything I've ever
done on any field or quarter or anything. I mean,
my buddy did know, he's five eleven, he can dunk. Sure,
what you mean like an oreo into million? So what
why does the NBA able to do well? I know
(02:45):
why because the money And they're the better athletes right period.
But that makes me I don't care, right, they're better athletes.
If you don't believe that, turn on. And I asked
my buddy, that's of color. I so, how come there's
on a lot of people color and hockey? He said,
because there's no ice skating rinks in our neighborhoods. I went, oh, okay,
(03:06):
and that's okay, that's just a fact. Sorry if I'm
offending anybody, but that's the facts, right. But that's why
that's offensive. What Yeah, but you have to have certain
percentage to get a grant. You're saying, that's what Christmas?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, I mean they don't say, uh, you you have
to have a certain percentage in order to get the grant,
but they want to know how many percentage of your board,
of your staff.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Does that come from?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, I mean it comes from wokeness in the left
wing ideology.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So so years ago, for two Christmas in a row,
I gave away a lot of money to people at
the gas pumps. I reached out to all the major
TV channels, and the first thing out of their mouth is,
we would love to do this story, but how do
you know how many gays, how many Blacks, how many Hispanics?
Are you going to give them money to as a
hold on, I don't know. I explained that to you.
(03:58):
We were going to go to a gas station. I
was going to go in and give the ladies at
the casher man at the cash register, whoever came in
and put ten dollars in their car. The reason I
know that if you walk into a gas station typically
and give them a ten dollars bill to get gasoline,
that tells me you have no credit cards. You don't
have a debit card, or you would be lazy, especially nowadays,
(04:19):
they're too lazy to walk that far in nic coldness.
Is in December, I said, I have no way of telling,
because the lady behind the counter, she would rub her
head with her right hand and point as the person
walked away. Now what we come to find out, though,
is we went back to look at the tape. We'll
call it Cammy, me and a few other people that
did this. And out of ten people the first day
(04:42):
ready for this, three were black, two were white. One
guy I think was gay, but I don't go but, hey,
are you gay? So I give you money? And the
other person was a Chinese oriental site Mexican type. I
couldn't tell you. I don't know. She was a mixed
heritage and she but she wasn't white, okay. And I
(05:05):
got thinking about it, I said, you know, I would
love to go back to the TV stations and show
them how we didn't make it exactly the way they
wanted us to. But it ended up being that way anyway,
that way anyway, And I mean, people in need? Are
people in need? What does it matter?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I know?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So I went around if you're if your criteria and
that's singular for helping somebody as they put in ten
dollars worth of gas for in cash.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, and you're not saying it. Well, that person's black,
so I'm gonna hold off on that. Oh there's a
white person. Oh yeah, I mean white. So how about
the person was in need? So we went to a
store down in the South End and I walked around watching,
And here's how I picked the people. I looked at.
They were struggling. There was a black lady with like
(05:52):
five kids and she was looking at toys and she
had them all sepparate. She could tell she was stress.
And I walked there, rest excuse me, she's yeah, she
gave me your look first, and I said, well, well what,
I just want to ask, what are you boots? No, no,
she didn't know. I said, what you What are you
doing here? She goes, oh, well, it's Christmas time. There
was Stinky's presents, but I don't have enough money for
all of it, so I'm trying to be equal on
(06:12):
all the kids. And I said, so if you had
all this right here, that would make a perfect Christmas
sent So oh yeah, that'd be great. Kids, weren't even
pay attention every run around, just be kids. So I
slipped for four hundred bucks. Wow, I said, that'll give
you an extra three hundred for whatever. She says, why
are you doing this? I said, we do this every Christmas.
Merry Christmas. And I walked away. And I walked up
(06:33):
to the lady I do this with and someone else,
and I said, and she was black, make sure you
write that down. Even though that had nothing to do
with it. I saw five children that were well behaved
and a mom that looked like she was a good person,
and she was stressing. That's what I looked at it
and go, oh, but wait a second. I didn't ask
her credit score and asked what she was dry. I
(06:53):
didn't care. I knew that she had a bunch of kids.
Now we could sit in ridicule all day long, said well,
why she had some kids? Why did of my business?
The deal is we're helping people. That's right, and that's
what it's all about. And in fact that you got
to go through that, I hope Trump fixes all that.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Well, you know, I'm optimistic in certain ways, but the
left has doubled down and they are getting more adamant
about shutting out other points of view.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Wow, so we'll.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
See what happens. I mean, we've survived for almost ten years.
Next year will be our tenth year.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
That's so awesome. So have you ever thought about going
against the grid of yourself and saying, I'm not going
to call conservative anymore. I don't call it conservative anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I call stage right. No, stage right that stays. I've
had people ask me, you know you're calling attention to it.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yes, that's correct. You ever thinking about this calling on
stage theatrics? No, no, you're never to stand down. I
love that.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
No, no, no, But you know I used to call
it the Conservative Theater Festival, and now we just call
it the stage Right Theatrics Theater Festival.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Everybody in town knows what we're doing anyway. But again,
I think you're putting yourself out there, and you should
in my opinion, because I've been to some of your
stuff and it's not conservative really at all. It's facts
of like facts.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, I mean, it depends on your definition of conservative.
I mean, I do think what we put on has
conservative leaning, but the fact of the.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Matter is or it's it speaks to something that's not woke.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You know, but you know, I just want to put
on good shows that make people.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
If you had a female part and there was a
transgender guy that looked like a female and did the
best acting in that particular part, and you you would
pick them, right if it's not obvious that they're transgender.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Oh, it's not obvious they're transgender. I mean, because I've
seen things like this where female traditionally female characters played
by a guy in Dragon. It looks terrible, that does
Oh it looks terrible. Yeah, yeah, I mean you'd really
have to convince me. I mean, I'm strange that way.
If it's a female character, I want a female playing it,
not somebody who identifies as I want a female person
(08:53):
because my nephew.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
My nephew, they couldn't find someone in a Wizard of
ozzs at the school played to play Dorothy, and he
was Dorothy and he knocked out of the park. He
was Dorothy. Dorothy. Did he change his name to was
it a male character or no? It was just did Dorothy?
And he just squeaked his voice up a little bit
and did really well. Really yeah, but I first I
watched it on she sent me a video. I was like,
wow that I didn't think I was him at first. Wow. Okay,
(09:18):
damn did you wear a dress? Yeah? I had the
blue dress on with Toto and the whole gang. Okay,
you know what, far be it from me to make
any count there you go, be right back after this.
Mini and Boots always brought you by in feed in
America made tattletale on news radio six ten w TV.
Actually back to the station that Ashley. Don't Ashley, I
(09:44):
don't here. But Ashley's back right good? Okay, Actually is awesome,
she is, but she's not there. She's not answering answering
the phone. We got Dick from Dayton. Hey, Dick from Dayton.
What you got for me and my brother? How you been?
I haven't talked to you since yesterday. Dick with Ashley. Dick, Oh, Dick,
(10:04):
Dick from Dayton. Dick going once, could go twice. We
don't know what Dick Actually, he's probably walked away from
the office. Yeah at six ten, she's got a lot
of things to do. It's like a chaos mess down
there or somethings. What's Dick's excuse? Uh, Dick, Well, he
has to hit the button someone hits the button, you know,
(10:27):
Oh yeah, that goes so mayor Tim I got an
old buddy. He typically sends me text during the show.
So see what he had to say. Okay, what he
asked about mister Wilson. How am I supposed to answer that?
What is that mister Wilson owned the Wilson Garden Center.
I don't know if he does or doesn't. So that's well,
that's important news that the gang's going. So and she
(10:50):
didn't answer. Uh so, So if people want to get
hold of your company and then come up with the
update because you don't have show till September, you said,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
In September, we're going to be doing a full length
played by Eugene O'Neil called Under the Elms.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's steamy entertainment. You'd want to come see sire under
the Elms. Yeah, yeah, it's one of his. So that
sounds kind of a couple making out in a.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Tree in in very unorthodox ways. Yes, it's not. It's
not what you know.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's not it like Jack and Diane. Yeah, well it's
let me Bobby Brooks. Is that under Bobby Brooks? Jack
and Diane? Jack and Die I don't know, go out
and move on, Bobby Books. Let me do what I can.
You know, I know what you're talking about. But so so,
when you have two actors male and female have to
make out, is that awkward? Uh? It can be. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
We don't have a lot. We don't have too many
plays where people have to make out. Although in Desire
under the Elms is probably going to be some steamy scenes.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And it's not folks out there listening saying, oh my god,
I don't want to come see something like that. This
is nineteen twenty five. At the time it was written,
it was very Uh, it was you know, and there
was an uproar, but it's you know, there's nothing too
promiscuitous going on. It's just you know, a guy and
and his kind of that mom But you know, I
got to you're an actor, any even in this business.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
If you have, like if I had to do a scene,
say with Jennifer Anis, and I to make out with her, yeah,
I don't think I could get over that. I think
that would be like a positive PTSD or something. Okay,
do actors are they have to have emotions when you
kiss another human being? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean, look if you're an actor, you're supposed to
kind of get into the character. It's really not me
kissing her or him, it is the character kissing him.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
What poorn guy say, it's not really me. It's not me,
it's you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
But you know, they also have people called intimacy coaches. Yeah,
that's the industry. No, no, no intimacy coaches and no,
this is absolutely true, and these are people.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Look if I got to make out with the girl
from Modern Family, the Brazilian girl or Jennifer Anis, and
I don't need no coaching, Okay, I do just fine,
no coaching, they would throw up.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
She right says, you may not need coaching, but counseling,
she would no. But they do have people who are
intimacy coaches to help you with, you know, holding each other,
touching each other, to do it in appropriate ways on stage.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
This is absolutely kidding. We remember Bruce Willis came to
the set of Ghost because he's worried Patrick Swayzey. Did
that meanmore we get too busy? Is that right? Yeah?
I remember, like a tabloid stuff or whatever. But I
remember he would get very jealous because I mean his
face of Patrick Swayze was a lot better looking and
Bruce Willis I guess, so yeah, and you don't want
your wife, you know, making out with that guy, right
(13:30):
especially now, I mean kind of hard, you know, like
like we had Jesse James on Auto Smarts and he
was married to a porn star and we were just
dying asking him about that, Like, I mean, what do
you ask him when he gets home from work? How
was your day? Hard day? No? But he did, I mean, really,
what do you how do you you know? I don't know,
(13:52):
Thank goodness, I'm married to a proofreader and editor. You know,
I know I'm not married Ja James. No, No, but
I wouldn't want that. I don't know. And again that
goes back to my question. And you know, my good
friend Lexi mcalo's from as she Rest in Peace. She
was on the Bachelor and we had she was making
good with inviting these couples to Columbus and we had
(14:16):
we ever in Graham View or whatever, and we were
just fancy at Woki Restaurant and everybody's making over these
two because you know, she she got the final rose
Vice versa whatever. The whole time I'm looking, I'm thinking
about the stayovers. The sleepovers. So I'm sitting back going, uh,
wait a second, I gotta ask this. So I looked
at the dude and I said to him, I said,
(14:36):
does it bother you that she had sleepovers with four
other guys before she picked? She was basically she got
busy with four other guys. Oh my gosh. It was
like I had a foot grown out of my face.
They were like evil. It was funny, funny, funny. Let's
go to Ray real quick before we go to break
what you got from me? Ray?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Well, I thought it was talking to Auto Smarts, but
all of a sudden I hear by Jennifer Aniston, and
I think, Sophia, Now.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
This is this is raw, This is Audus Smarts on Saturday.
But go ahead.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
But I do have a quick question for Boots, and
it's just something that bugs me. Whatever happened to the
window tinning laws? I mean, I grabbed so many cars.
All the windows are just like totally black, even the windshield.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's so funny you say that because they just had
this conversation the other day. Our police officers are told
to back off. They can no longer enforce the law.
Window tent was originally to protect them, and unfortunately, in
a woke world war in if it protects police, it
doesn't matter. Now if it was hurting the average joe,
(15:45):
then they would make a big deal of it. But
they are dangerous and it is hard to see at night.
And my windows are tinted, but they are tinted barely,
just right at the point of being illegal, so because
I want to be able to see out at night.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
So you're right, Yeah, there's so many I know people
that have gotten tickets back in the eighties, I guess
in nineties when it's law with an effect, but it's
just nobody seems to care anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, it's like the Jane Mansfield bar. They put them
on all eighteen wheelers because remember she went underneath and
that oldser pontie and got decapitated, so every truck's required.
She didn't get she was almost a capitator. Okay, all right,
ninety Well, well I'm here as the fact checker. Are
you the fact that you're But they have those now,
But the problem, the problem is with the window tint.
(16:37):
Now trucks are getting lifted higher than ever and the
window tint's out of control. I think what's going to
be sad is when a duke finally come down on
it and start pulling people over and start writing tickets,
it's going to become a big They're just picking on
the poor people because if you go in a sketchyer
part of town, everyone's illegally tended. It seems like you
said at one sixty one to Cleveland Avenue, it's like
(16:58):
holy mackerel, terrible, terrible. So good question, though, but I
will keep you updated. We'll cover that auto smarts as
time goes on. I'll ask the police officer next time
I on the phone, or if they will answer the question.
All right, my brother, we're gonna take a break when
we get back. We got doctor Cohen joining us this
second hour, and he's always full of great information. This
is uh Raw with Indian Boots on News Radio six'
ten
All right, if we were on break, we're talking about
the different things. And I want to tell you this.
So in your business, when you pay that actor that's
a prima donnor the actor that just you know is
easy going, do you ten nine nine them or do
you pay them on payroll?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I don't make I don't pay people enough over the
course of the year to worry about it.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
To do I have to do it ten nights. Okay.
So with that being said, so I think HR departments
and attorneys have killed the workplace. And here's why I
want to say this. Everybody's like what probably is, attorneys
in HR have blanketed everybody is the same, no matter what.
Now that sounds bad, but let me explain why I'm

you you have to do that too, But do you
(01:03):
get ever, say, persecuted for well, you won't hire her

my buddy did know, he's five eleven, he can dunk. Sure,

why does the NBA able to do well? I know
(02:45):
why because the money And they're the better athletes right period.
But that makes me I don't care, right, they're better athletes.
If you don't believe that, turn on. And I asked
my buddy, that's of color. I so, how come there's
on a lot of people color and hockey? He said,
because there's no ice skating rinks in our neighborhoods. I went, oh, okay,
(03:06):
and that's okay, that's just a fact. Sorry if I'm

that's offensive. What Yeah, but you have to have certain

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, I mean they don't say, uh, you you have

They were struggling. There was a black lady with like
(05:52):
five kids and she was looking at toys and she
had them all sepparate. She could tell she was stress.
And I walked there, rest excuse me, she's yeah, she
gave me your look first, and I said, well, well what,
I just want to ask, what are you boots? No, no,
she didn't know. I said, what you What are you
doing here? She goes, oh, well, it's Christmas time. There
was Stinky's presents, but I don't have enough money for
all of it, so I'm trying to be equal on
(06:12):
all the kids. And I said, so if you had
all this right here, that would make a perfect Christmas
sent So oh yeah, that'd be great. Kids, weren't even
pay attention every run around, just be kids. So I
slipped for four hundred bucks. Wow, I said, that'll give
you an extra three hundred for whatever. She says, why
are you doing this? I said, we do this every Christmas.
Merry Christmas. And I walked away. And I walked up
(06:33):
to the lady I do this with and someone else,
and I said, and she was black, make sure you
write that down. Even though that had nothing to do
with it. I saw five children that were well behaved
and a mom that looked like she was a good person,
and she was stressing. That's what I looked at it
and go, oh, but wait a second. I didn't ask
her credit score and asked what she was dry. I
(06:53):
didn't care. I knew that she had a bunch of kids.
Now we could sit in ridicule all day long, said well,
why she had some kids? Why did of my business?
The deal is we're helping people. That's right, and that's
what it's all about. And in fact that you got
to go through that, I hope Trump fixes all that.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Well, you know, I'm optimistic in certain ways, but the
left has doubled down and they are getting more adamant
about shutting out other points of view.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Wow, so we'll.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
See what happens. I mean, we've survived for almost ten years.
Next year will be our tenth year.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
That's so awesome. So have you ever thought about going
against the grid of yourself and saying, I'm not going
to call conservative anymore. I don't call it conservative anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I call stage right. No, stage right that stays. I've
had people ask me, you know you're calling attention to it.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yes, that's correct. You ever thinking about this calling on
stage theatrics? No, no, you're never to stand down. I
love that.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
No, no, no, But you know I used to call
it the Conservative Theater Festival, and now we just call
it the stage Right Theatrics Theater Festival.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Everybody in town knows what we're doing anyway. But again,
I think you're putting yourself out there, and you should
in my opinion, because I've been to some of your
stuff and it's not conservative really at all. It's facts
of like facts.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, I mean, it depends on your definition of conservative.
I mean, I do think what we put on has
conservative leaning, but the fact of the.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Matter is or it's it speaks to something that's not woke.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You know, but you know, I just want to put
on good shows that make people.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
If you had a female part and there was a
transgender guy that looked like a female and did the
best acting in that particular part, and you you would
pick them, right if it's not obvious that they're transgender.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Oh, it's not obvious they're transgender. I mean, because I've
seen things like this where female traditionally female characters played
by a guy in Dragon. It looks terrible, that does
Oh it looks terrible. Yeah, yeah, I mean you'd really
have to convince me. I mean, I'm strange that way.
If it's a female character, I want a female playing it,
not somebody who identifies as I want a female person
(08:53):
because my nephew.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
My nephew, they couldn't find someone in a Wizard of
ozzs at the school played to play Dorothy, and he
was Dorothy and he knocked out of the park. He
was Dorothy. Dorothy. Did he change his name to was
it a male character or no? It was just did Dorothy?
And he just squeaked his voice up a little bit
and did really well. Really yeah, but I first I
watched it on she sent me a video. I was like,
wow that I didn't think I was him at first. Wow. Okay,
(09:18):
damn did you wear a dress? Yeah? I had the
blue dress on with Toto and the whole gang. Okay,
you know what, far be it from me to make
any count there you go, be right back after this.
Mini and Boots always brought you by in feed in
America made tattletale on news radio six ten w TV.
Actually back to the station that Ashley. Don't Ashley, I
(09:44):
don't here. But Ashley's back right good? Okay, Actually is awesome,
she is, but she's not there. She's not answering answering
the phone. We got Dick from Dayton. Hey, Dick from Dayton.
What you got for me and my brother? How you been?
I haven't talked to you since yesterday. Dick with Ashley. Dick, Oh, Dick,
(10:04):
Dick from Dayton. Dick going once, could go twice. We
don't know what Dick Actually, he's probably walked away from
the office. Yeah at six ten, she's got a lot
of things to do. It's like a chaos mess down
there or somethings. What's Dick's excuse? Uh, Dick, Well, he
has to hit the button someone hits the button, you know,
(10:27):
Oh yeah, that goes so mayor Tim I got an
old buddy. He typically sends me text during the show.
So see what he had to say. Okay, what he
asked about mister Wilson. How am I supposed to answer that?
What is that mister Wilson owned the Wilson Garden Center.
I don't know if he does or doesn't. So that's well,
that's important news that the gang's going. So and she
(10:50):
didn't answer. Uh so, So if people want to get
hold of your company and then come up with the
update because you don't have show till September, you said,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
In September, we're going to be doing a full length
played by Eugene O'Neil called Under the Elms.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's steamy entertainment. You'd want to come see sire under
the Elms. Yeah, yeah, it's one of his. So that
sounds kind of a couple making out in a.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Tree in in very unorthodox ways. Yes, it's not. It's
not what you know.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's not it like Jack and Diane. Yeah, well it's
let me Bobby Brooks. Is that under Bobby Brooks? Jack
and Diane? Jack and Die I don't know, go out
and move on, Bobby Books. Let me do what I can.
You know, I know what you're talking about. But so so,
when you have two actors male and female have to
make out, is that awkward? Uh? It can be. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
We don't have a lot. We don't have too many
plays where people have to make out. Although in Desire
under the Elms is probably going to be some steamy scenes.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And it's not folks out there listening saying, oh my god,
I don't want to come see something like that. This
is nineteen twenty five. At the time it was written,
it was very Uh, it was you know, and there
was an uproar, but it's you know, there's nothing too
promiscuitous going on. It's just you know, a guy and
and his kind of that mom But you know, I
got to you're an actor, any even in this business.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
If you have, like if I had to do a scene,
say with Jennifer Anis, and I to make out with her, yeah,
I don't think I could get over that. I think
that would be like a positive PTSD or something. Okay,
do actors are they have to have emotions when you
kiss another human being? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean, look if you're an actor, you're supposed to
kind of get into the character. It's really not me
kissing her or him, it is the character kissing him.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
What poorn guy say, it's not really me. It's not me,
it's you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
But you know, they also have people called intimacy coaches. Yeah,
that's the industry. No, no, no intimacy coaches and no,
this is absolutely true, and these are people.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Look if I got to make out with the girl
from Modern Family, the Brazilian girl or Jennifer Anis, and
I don't need no coaching, Okay, I do just fine,
no coaching, they would throw up.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
She right says, you may not need coaching, but counseling,
she would no. But they do have people who are
intimacy coaches to help you with, you know, holding each other,
touching each other, to do it in appropriate ways on stage.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
This is absolutely kidding. We remember Bruce Willis came to
the set of Ghost because he's worried Patrick Swayzey. Did
that meanmore we get too busy? Is that right? Yeah?
I remember, like a tabloid stuff or whatever. But I
remember he would get very jealous because I mean his
face of Patrick Swayze was a lot better looking and
Bruce Willis I guess, so yeah, and you don't want
your wife, you know, making out with that guy, right
(13:30):
especially now, I mean kind of hard, you know, like
like we had Jesse James on Auto Smarts and he
was married to a porn star and we were just
dying asking him about that, Like, I mean, what do
you ask him when he gets home from work? How
was your day? Hard day? No? But he did, I mean, really,
what do you how do you you know? I don't know,
(13:52):
Thank goodness, I'm married to a proofreader and editor. You know,
I know I'm not married Ja James. No, No, but
I wouldn't want that. I don't know. And again that
goes back to my question. And you know, my good
friend Lexi mcalo's from as she Rest in Peace. She
was on the Bachelor and we had she was making
good with inviting these couples to Columbus and we had
(14:16):
we ever in Graham View or whatever, and we were
just fancy at Woki Restaurant and everybody's making over these
two because you know, she she got the final rose
Vice versa whatever. The whole time I'm looking, I'm thinking
about the stayovers. The sleepovers. So I'm sitting back going, uh,
wait a second, I gotta ask this. So I looked
at the dude and I said to him, I said,
(14:36):
does it bother you that she had sleepovers with four
other guys before she picked? She was basically she got
busy with four other guys. Oh my gosh. It was
like I had a foot grown out of my face.
They were like evil. It was funny, funny, funny. Let's
go to Ray real quick before we go to break
what you got from me? Ray?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Well, I thought it was talking to Auto Smarts, but
all of a sudden I hear by Jennifer Aniston, and
I think, Sophia, Now.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
This is this is raw, This is Audus Smarts on Saturday.
But go ahead.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
But I do have a quick question for Boots, and
it's just something that bugs me. Whatever happened to the
window tinning laws? I mean, I grabbed so many cars.
All the windows are just like totally black, even the windshield.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It's so funny you say that because they just had
this conversation the other day. Our police officers are told
to back off. They can no longer enforce the law.
Window tent was originally to protect them, and unfortunately, in
a woke world war in if it protects police, it
doesn't matter. Now if it was hurting the average joe,
(15:45):
then they would make a big deal of it. But
they are dangerous and it is hard to see at night.
And my windows are tinted, but they are tinted barely,
just right at the point of being illegal, so because
I want to be able to see out at night.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
So you're right, Yeah, there's so many I know people
that have gotten tickets back in the eighties, I guess
in nineties when it's law with an effect, but it's
just nobody seems to care anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, it's like the Jane Mansfield bar. They put them
on all eighteen wheelers because remember she went underneath and
that oldser pontie and got decapitated, so every truck's required.
She didn't get she was almost a capitator. Okay, all right,
ninety Well, well I'm here as the fact checker. Are
you the fact that you're But they have those now,
But the problem, the problem is with the window tint.
(16:37):
Now trucks are getting lifted higher than ever and the
window tint's out of control. I think what's going to
be sad is when a duke finally come down on
it and start pulling people over and start writing tickets,
it's going to become a big They're just picking on
the poor people because if you go in a sketchyer
part of town, everyone's illegally tended. It seems like you
said at one sixty one to Cleveland Avenue, it's like
(16:58):
holy mackerel, terrible, terrible. So good question, though, but I
will keep you updated. We'll cover that auto smarts as
time goes on. I'll ask the police officer next time
I on the phone, or if they will answer the question.
All right, my brother, we're gonna take a break when
we get back. We got doctor Cohen joining us this
second hour, and he's always full of great information. This
is uh Raw with Indian Boots on News Radio six'
