the year. And you may think, oh, you like fall
or you maybe like summer. It's not that. It's more
specific than that. It is the fall Omaha Steaks season,

and then it's the Father's Day Omaha Steaks season. But
just you know, we've been partners with Omaha Steaks for
years now and that's generally when we really start pumping
them up, you know, during the holidays and then around
Father's Day. But yeah, this is it now, This is
(00:52):
it holidays with Omaha Steaks. And it's not just because
you know they advertise this or whatever. We've been talking
about Omaha Steaks for years and we love it, just
absolutely love it. They have these top I mean the
top quality meats like filet mignon burgers that are gourmet,
(01:15):
and they also have the gourmet hot dogs and desserts
and side dishes. If you've never been to Omaha Steaks

Speaker 2 (01:40):
So usually by the time Christmas gets there, because we
get the first Omaha package we ever got was from
my wife's grandmother. She sent it to us as a
gift and we were like, what is this and she
had passed now, so so that was probably the she
was kind of mean, that was the best thing she
ever did, you know, for us?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Why you got to throw her under the buzz like that?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
She was she I mean, she gave me all kinds
of grief, did you all the time? Yeah, about everything
from politics to the way I dress, I mean just uses,
you know. But she they said, that's because she loved me.
That's how she showed it by picking on me and
torturing me and whatnot. But I would gladly take all
(02:27):
of that for the Omaha Steaks gift box that I got.

when when people take heed to what we're saying, and
then we hear back from them how great they think
Omaha Steaks is. Because it is, and it's one guaranteed.
That's how you know that they're they're standing behind what
they do. Your dad loves them, Riggings, you love them everybody.
(03:32):
I don't know anybody who doesn't.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, And you're so right. I would put up with
my mean grandma too. If she was gonna bring me
Omaha Steaks to have them deliver it to my door,
I'd put up with it too.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You're so right.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, And so since she had it delivered, I didn't
have to even put up with any insults from Jody's grandmother.
Seven sure told me in person that I didn't deserve it,
all right, So there are more The Monkey's on the
loose now and people dealing with him. Uh. One lady
(04:05):
had to deal with him in the ultimate way, and
we'll explain that coming up next.

dally dose of funny is just not enough. Thankfully we

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Minkful, mink Hey, I gotta I don't know. Maybe it
may be a difficult conversation to have with the program
director and my other job, but I don't I don't
know's it's kind of a dilemma for me. So tomorrow
(04:56):
is election Day, but it's also fun. If you call
it erection day. I've always found that to be humorous.
And so being on a news talk station, it's a
big deal. I mean, it's just wall to wall coverage
on election night and it's an all hands on deck
(05:21):
kind of thing. And he sent around the schedule of
how it's going to work, and then you know parts
of it. It's like then we'll go to t J,
Vince and you know, Pete for their opinions, and you
(05:44):
know coverage and blah blah blah blah. Well that's not
my thing. I'm not an election desk kind of person.
That's not the type of the type of host that
I am. And so he's such a nice guy. I
don't know whether he's including me in that because he
(06:07):
really needs me and wants me and my opinions and
all to be part of it, or he is just
not wanting me to feel like I'm not included.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
You know, which he needs to know that you don't
care about that.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
But then I don't want him to think I don't care,
like you know, I'm trying to get out of doing something.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
No, it's just that you or not. You never care.
If you're you don't have to be nice and invite.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
You, right, I don't have to be, you know, a
spotlight on me all the time. If I don't get
the spotlight, it's not going to bother me.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
So I need to call him today and figure out
a way to say, hey, look, I'll be there. I'll
do it if you really need me to do it,
if you really think it's going to be beneficial to
the to the station for you know, me to be there.
Commenting on things even though it's not. I don't know
(07:12):
how much help I'm going to be because that's not
my thing. Uh and I've never done it. But if
you just are including me, to be including me and
you don't really need me, I'll be fine with that
as well.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Or you could just fake sick.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Have you thought of that? Have you thought about faking?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Said? I haven't thought of that one.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Well, see, I think he knows what you do on
the radio.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
So is there a way to incorporate like what you
do into something like is it live? Like they were going? Now, really,
where are you supposed to be while that's happening.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
In the studio in your radio? No, I'll have to go, yeah,
into the big dangerous city for that.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
And don't they have a note? I mean you mentioned
a lot of people. That's a lot of people like that. Yeah,
they got it, you do.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
But I again, though, I just don't want him thinking
I'm trying to get out of something or I'm too
lazy to go in there and.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Do it right. But you would rather do your own
This is at the time of your show.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, yeah, and that's another thing he may be thinking. Okay,
so we're taking over his time slot and everything, So
we need to have him in there, you know, so
we're not just pushing him aside like we do for
ball games.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Yeah, but that's tricky, tricky.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Who's going to be like a correspond Is somebody gonna
be like talking to you, like what's happening out there
and you're just supposed to react to it?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Or how does that even work?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Really don't even know. I know they're going to be
people who are because of the station. It's a full
service news talk station, so they have reporters and things
like that that are going to be out. I'm sure
it'd be different precincts and polling places and all that.
And then there will be the the anchors back at
(09:12):
the studio who will be controlling all of it and everything.
I just I figure it will be just say, okay,
so we're seeing, you know, with them this many you know,
precincts or districts, whatever, polling places reporting, we have this
person is as a lead, and what are your thoughts
on that? And I'm not one to go well, statistically
(09:35):
it looks like that. But and in the last election,
this this district went completely for the Republican and so
they haven't reported yet and I don't know any of
that stuff. Yeah, you know, mine would strictly be I
can't believe these people have elected Roy Cooper again talk
because he's rotten, you know. And I don't think they
(09:55):
want that on election night. I don't think they want
They want the full, you know, opinionated commentary.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, that's probably true.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Well, let me conjure up a plan. I got you
got you fake your own death. I've got some things
in my bag of tricks.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Okay, I think he'll be cool. He's such a nice guy.
If he'll understand.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, but if not, I have some use.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
But I go to everything else. You know, I've gone
and done everything else they've they've ever done. They wanted
me to be a part of I do that, but
I just don't think this is my strength. I'll be
in the way, I really think so.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
But they I mean they did election night coverage with
the View one time. I think the last I was
like they got the whole panel of the View doing
like late night election coverage.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
WBT did that my station, No ABC.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
And that ABC is supposed to be news, and it's
like you've got Joy Behar and you know the rest
of the whoope, Goldberg is commenting, Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
You care about what they're saying, like yeaheah.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
At least you're a qualified person, right, you.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Know, you've got the qualifications. Yeah, just maybe hold back
a little on the brutal honesty.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, yeah, sure. It may just be a fun conversation
to bring back.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Maybe they need that. Maybe they're looking for that spice
comic relief.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah sure, it's on at seven. Yeah, maybe they want
to It's been all day election coverage, so now they
want to lighten it up a little bit with some
commentary from TJ.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
That'd be kind of sick, Yeah, because who wants to
sit there and talk like non comedic about that.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I think pretty much every listener, Oh that's turning in
for election coverage, they don't want to hear, you know,
some some glorified DJ.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
On there to want me to call in.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yeah, I want you to call in.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
TJ's bringing the comedy. That's why I listen. Yeah, that's
all I know. I don't know anything about any kind
of election thing.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Or you could just poop your pants, you know, go
to the old standby. What are they going to say?
They're not gonna let you go home when you poop
your pants. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't want to have to drive in there to
begin with for nothing, you know, I don't want to
have to drive in there to make a fool of myself,
or to be in the way, or to poop in
my pants and.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Then drive home with your pants.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I mean, I could poop in my pants here and
then just send them a picture they need.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Okay, no poop, let's not poop.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Are you just saying this because you don't want to
do election covering?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
No, Look, I swear it's everywhere. You think I would
do this just to get out of work, I don't
think so.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
I hate too many leafy greens or whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't even watch a lot of election coverage now anyway,
you know, just to turn on and see who's I mean,
I don't I don't like the when they go to
the panel and they're talking about all the analysis and everything.
I just just show me the numbers. That's all I
care about. Yeah, and then every now and then I
want to know, you know who, how many how many
(13:31):
votes are still out there? How many votes have they counted?
How many are still out there, that kind of thing
I don't need to know about. You know the map
and what time these places close, and you know all
of the in depth stuff. Yeah, you just tell me
who's winning.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Right, But you're probably you're probably if the same or
more qualified than a lot of people they are going
to have on to be talking about it at least.
Maybe not the numbers and the figures and stuff. But
I would trust your analysis of a political situation more
than most people.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Thanks, Yeah, and if I cared, I would too.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, Riggans, you just say that because you love me.
You just don't know those other people.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
No, that's not true, you know, I know, not at all. Okay,
I don't know those Oh no, I do love you.
But that's not why
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Teaching Riggins extra funny
