What starts as a casual conversation about celebrity encounters spirals into KT’s unforgettable story involving a broken-down SUV, a fake mechanic moment, and none other than Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant.

this story.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
This was.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Have y'all ever seen Robert Plant in concert? Oh? Yes,
did you go to the twenty sixteen show at the
Bomb Factory? Yes? I did. Okay, So I went to
that show and uh, you know, that was down at
the bomb Factory, So it was down in deep Elum.
So after the show, we went and got drinks whatever,
and we're kicking around. So I kind of left, probably,
I don't know, an hour after the show, headed home
(01:57):
and on one of those side streets when you tried
to get out and get onto the highway, there was
a really nice I don't know cars. I mean it
was it was like, you know the kind of car
that would whisk people around. It's like tended windows and
all that. And it was pulled color blind and car blind,
car blind. Yeah, I just don't know makes of cars.
Four wheels. I've ever been good at that. Yeah, my
(02:17):
wife knows the make and model of every car. I'm like,
okind just too, it makes no sense to what about mufflers.
Muffler's is not good on that either. Yeah. So, so
one of those cars was pulled over on the edge
of deep Elum and the hood was up and steam
was coming out or smoke was coming out of it,
and you know, you kind of sometimes you're in that
mode you're like, oh, I wonder if people need help.
(02:39):
You know, you've done that before. And so I pulled
over and I was just trying to see what was
going on. And when I walked up, the guy rolled
the window down and you know, the driver, and he
obviously had someone important in the back seat. And I
was like, do you guys need help?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
You know?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And he's like, well, we got a call in. He's like,
do you know anything about cars? And I was like,
you know, the answer is no, but I pretended that
I did. Why just because you're in the moment, what.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Were you offering there? What were you really there to offer?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
What? I just wanted to I just wanted to see,
kind of wanted to see who was in the expensive car.

a car guy for Yeah, what'd you say?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Popped the hood and then you went out there and
did the old Andy Samberger to hit it with like
a hammer?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah. So I looked at it, you know, kind of
did like in Fletcher, kind of gave it the bird's
eye view. And then I went back. And when I
went back, the guy in the back seat rolled the
window down and it was Robert Plant. Isn't that crazy?
So this is a limousine. It's not. It's like a
like a Silverado or one of those big suv. Yeah,
(03:48):
it's an suv of sometime, but I don't know what
model it was. And you know, he's got this old
British accent, and I can't exactly what it said. It
