Speaker 1 (00:00):
I was a little nervous Number one, that I had
oversold it from eight years ago. Number Two, that it
wouldn't hold up to what I remembered from eight years ago,
and that you guys would hate it because of my
over selling it. No, not at all.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
It was great.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah, like we said it earlier. We packed in so
much stuff and got to experience quite a few things
that the city had to offer.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
And if anybody has ever been to Zinzinnati, which is
the whole reason we went, because we kept trying to
get to Germany and that didn't happen. So we went
to America's Oktoberfest.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Which you talked about maybe three four years ago for
the first time on the show.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yes, and I will tell you this and listen. Obviously
we've never been there before for Oktoberfest. And if you have,
they moved it so like now it's down right on
the water, like in that little park area, so it's
on the if you're looking at the water, on which
side you're on.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Anyway, it goes, well, are you in Kentucky? There are
you in Ohio?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
And by the way, can I say can I say
this about Kentucky?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I don't. We didn't spend a lot of time in Kentucky,
but we did go to Covington. That one street that
we were on in Covington, Kentucky is freaking awesome. Yeah,
that is a cool little street. I don't even remember
the name of the street.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Well it wasn't It referred to by a couple of
people as just like Main Strauss Like that's just like
the stretch that goes through the center of town with
the retail and the restaurants.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
It's awesome, It's awesome like that. That stretch was great.
That little stretch of stuff was awesome, very lively. And
I don't know. Listen, I'm not a big bourbon guying.
I like Jack Daniels, but I'm not a big bourbon guying.
But what was the was it the old Kentucky bourbon bar?
If you like bourbon, I can't imagine, Like, I've never

(01:57):
been on the Bourbon trail. I can't imagine what that's
ike this bourbon joint, Oh my god. And by the way,
they have a bunch of other stuff that isn't bourbon. Like.
I didn't drink bourbon while we were there. I just
I'm not a bourbon guy. But I sent pictures to
like Bigsie and Coast Guard, Kurt who who love it,

(02:17):
and sweet and Nelly eleven the they were like, oh
my god, look at that. It is walls and walls
of bourbon. Well, it was amazing. It was amazing.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, if you want it, they've probably got it.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
So, like that bar was cool. And then what was
that other the other bar that we hopped into under over?
Was it under over? No? Upover or up over? I
don't know whatever. The guy was dressed like you the
but even like that little bar was cool above up over, Yeah,
that bar was cool. Like that strip was was awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
And there were a ton of people at other restaurants
eating outside. It was just clearly that's a cool little
cru of Covington night life.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
The now, let me tell you this. Let me tell
you this. Greaters was fantastic. That's the first thing we did. Yeah, yeah,
went right to Greaters ice cream. Skyline was fantastic.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
The U was the last thing we did. These are
good book.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Ends, Yeah, it really is. It really is.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Because there was the disappointment of the Skyline location downtown
being closed.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, what are you doing there?

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Don't do that?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
But that's the greatest location. That is Fountain Square Square exactly.
That's pretty neat with the concerts series they have.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
They had three bands playing outside. It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
It was great that fountains pretty cool too. And you
know who, you know who, I need to think our
opera girl, Ashlyn. Yeah, she sent over a buck of
buck a bunch of recommendations.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Oh my god, pages of it.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
She was dead on. I mean, I found a lot
of plays on my own, don't get me wrong. The okay, well,
I knew to go to the zoo. The zoo was great.
By the way, if you go to Cincinnati and you
don't go to the zoo, and I know for a
lot of people zoo may not be on the list,
But how did tell me how you get home and
look yourself in the mirror if you don't go to

(04:16):
the zoo and see Fiona. Yeah. No, I'm happy that
we made it a part of him. Yes, yes, we
saw Tucker and I pointed when Tucker made a big duty.
So I'm all bb Tucker fontz Fritz. I made eye
contact with the hippos. We went and saw the silver backs,

(04:37):
the gorillas.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Those are impressive animals, not down there.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
They aren't.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
They got nothing going on, the little wings.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
And they know it, like they know we know you
could tell at one point, did you see how big
are they? Though? He has his arms.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Crossed like kind of this is the life I've been given?
But can I throw two grand pianos?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
There? He is? I'm not spreading eye legs? Can I
lost this though? Like I don't know what I was
expecting them to do? The silver Backs? But do they
just sit all day.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Or eat?

Speaker 1 (05:12):
They eat seven times a day? Yeah, they're fed seven times. Yeah.
And we did hear one that wanted to go inside.
He was banging on a door that was that was loud.
But you know what I mean that big boy not
big down there, but that big boy.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
He sat there, and.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
You know they're like sort of like kept their distance.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yea, well that's but the but like what are.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
They even thinking? Like they don't have a mind like
I do. So they're not like going through and being like, oh,
you know what, like I wonder what the Reds are doing? No,
they're like they all saw that article the but like
can they even think, yes, yes, what are they thinking?

Speaker 5 (05:50):
How am I going to eat next? When's my when's
the next they know.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
They get fed? Like do they are? They bored? And
he's got plenty of room. It's not like he's being
held down or anything, right, but this was like, dude,
get off your ass. What the fact that hot he
was so visible, Yes, was cool, it was great, But
he just sat there. I would I'd be so bored.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Zoo probably prefers, especially that one, when their gorillas stay
where they are.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
We saw cheetah. That cheetah is awesome.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
That cheetah also became pretty famous during COVID because of
its friendship with their zoo dog.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, they threw a dog in there. No no, no,
no no. But during COVID they were like, hey, let's
let's see what happens. So they put a dog in there,
and the two of them became really good friends. Now
the dog is no longer there the cheatah.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
No no, I don't know what happened to the dog.
They just move him.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
And the dog was not with the cheetah in its enclosure.
They had it in the back running like tracks. Oh yeah,
well never mind whatever, whatever, it was cool. I didn't
read all the signs. Rosie was the cheetah and my
palm and Daisy was the dog, right.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
But the zoo, the zoo's very cool. The zoo's very cool.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
But before even getting after the zoo, he went to
Finley Market. You know what, Finley Market's cool. That's a
nice little place. That was nice.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I had a crepe, yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
From Taste of Belgium. Was delicious. I had a awful
you know what was good. What was the name of
the fried chicken joint? The eagle Eagle? Yeah, that's good.
Get the hot honey on the side.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Over the rhine and use it or as you only
refer to t R. He would never say over the
rhine you know why.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
The well, no, because that's what locals say. See, I know,
but what was I going to say? Oh, I'll meet
you in over the rhine. Now I'll meet you O
t R. And then they would look at me and
they go all right, sweet, and I'd be like, in
Diane's O t R. Then where's Diane O t R?
Graters No, what was the name of the baker Baker? Yeah,

(08:00):
the bakery, which Ashton said was the greatest bakery she'd
ever been. You got to get there early though, they
sell out of a bunch of stuff. We knew that.
Though I have one regret that I didn't get the
cinnamon roll, that's your regret, that's my regret. It looks
so good.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
But we knew that if had you gone earlier, there
were gonna be lines.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Right, which I'm not. I'm not gonna go stand in
line at a bakery.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
So we went later and they were very honest. They said,
this is what's left for the day. And you know
what was delicious, that cream sickle short bread. That cookie, Oh,
the cookie was good. I ate an oat cookie that
had a lot of chocolate in it.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
And then across the street you went to your bar,
long Fellow. I like Longfellow. Longfellow's good. Longfellow's really good. Now,
I'm telling you, Cincinnati lived up to everything I wanted
it to be. Everything I wanted it to be. I
really liked that city.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
I liked the art everywhere. That was totally unexpected for me.
What art like murals everywhere and they paint the sides
of buildings. No, but I'm just saying, like I saw
James Brown. For me, I didn't think that's what you
would see there.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I think of Cincinnati as being a very art centric city.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Oh, I didn't at all, Elliott what and you didn't
need that?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Apparently it was a decade long campaign to pay this
beautify the city from twenty seven to twenty seventeen, and
they're continuing it. But it was a dedicated ten year attempt.
Was it really to do all of those murals? There
are so many murals everywhere, Like we had one right
around the corner in Rockfell. I don't even pay attention
to it, the ones in but the ones in Cincinnati,

(09:31):
those are nice, really cool. Like some of them. You
look at it and go like, I want to do that. Wait,
I want a mural a building you do? Why not
a commission or you don't want to do it? Yeah?
These were really well artists. Yeah, some of them were
so good it almost seemed fake. The well they all
are fake, Like that wasn't really a picture of James Brown.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's a painting of him.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I'm saying that they were not maybe done by hand.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Oh yeah, would they let us mural this building?

Speaker 6 (10:02):
No?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Why not the whole building? There's windows on the like
in between floors.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Just so we'll be between floors like it's Christmas displays
where it looks like snow and.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, well, I don't want to make it look like
snow or something, but we should mural the building.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Well, we don't have any artistic talent.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Well speak for yourself. Sorry, excuse me. Oh and my
shower had teets and a vagina in it. Line one, Hi,

But we did.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
We tailgated, We hit the zoo, we hit we hit Cincinnati,
which that Octoberfest was awesome. Yes, and we were just
in Germany over the summer, so it was a cool comparison.
And then we went into Newport On in the evening
and hit the Shiners, which was cool.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Oh you know what good for you? Hey, let me
ask you this. Let me ask you this. And we
saw some of the tailgating. We saw the I thought
it was cool. They had the two skydivers go into
the stadium for the beginning of the game. I mean,
I'm assuming that's where they landed. Did you like the zoo, Fion,
we saw Fiona and Fritz change your life? Kangaroos change

(12:05):
your life?

Speaker 6 (12:05):
Oh yeah, no, that was it was. It did change
my life. It was that was all I wanted to
do once. Once we saw the hippos, we went.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Over to the october Fest. But yeah, it was life changing.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
It was pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Do you see all the diabetes kangaroos? No, I didn't
do the kangaroos.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
We did see all the diabetes, thank you. There might
have been some conversations around that.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh my god, damn, there's a lot of diabetes in
the zoo.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
The now, let me ask you this. When you made
your way over to Cincinnati, so I said, far and away,
my my, my number one highlight of the entire trip
was seeing Fiona, my little baby hippo. Beautiful, beautiful display,
beautiful display. Number two. Though, when you were in Zincinnati,
did you take part in the chicken dance? We did not.

(12:53):
We did not loser. We missed that. I am I am, yes,
So my second favorite highlight. Hey, by the way, I
appreciate the phone call. I'm glad you were there this weekend.
Does your kid like the University of Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
He does, He likes it a lot.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
Is there for engineering?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Good? Good? Good for you, good for him? All right,
very good. I appreciate it. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
So we make our way to Zincinnati.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Some of us more dressed up than others. The Christian
was dressed up. Tyler was dressed up. Tyler blue as shoe.

Speaker 8 (13:28):
Did I lost a heel? I lost the whole shoe. Yeah,
the whole bottom came off. But now, thank god it
was at the end of Zincinnati. Correct, And I did
I do owed Tyler an apology. I wasted his money, Yeah,
because they were selling these I guess I didn't know
you were supposed to keep them these commemorative We were

(13:49):
buying beers and they come in plastic cups.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
So I was done. I threw my cuff out.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I didn't realize that I was supposed to keep my
souvenir plastic cup, right, So I threw mine out and
then well, yeah, no, but I didn't realize. I didn't
know you were supposed to keep them. But anyway, so
we're walking around. We have to find the river the
river stage, and we're walking around. We think we found

(14:16):
and there's several stages and then some guy he works
on one of the TV stations there, what's his name,
like Mourning Todd or.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Something like that, Good Morning Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, but what's his name? Isn't it like Mourning Todd
or something like something like that? Whatever? Anyway, was he there?

Speaker 4 (14:31):
He is three down on the right. Isn't that him?

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh, Bob Herzoc, Yeah, yeah, he was good.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
He was good. He's over overdone anyway, because he wore
a letter HOS and like I did, the no, but
he was I thought more people at the Octoberfest would
be in letters.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
So if you had to say, like what's the percentage
of those who were dressed up, I would say maybe
like three.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Thirty thirty percent had had it. Later hosted on no dresses.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
No, you're high five percent.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
Maybe it was more than five die in, I may
be generous with thirty five percent.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
It was more than five percent. There were a lot
of the most common agrove sty percent the okay, yes,
we were four out of eight hundred thousand people don
didn't have on toxin where the no A lot of
Cincinnati Reds jerseys. Now the game was a blowout. A
lot of people left and just went to the event.

(15:30):
I saw Joe Burrows, right, But anyway, anyway, so we
get to we get to the river, the river stage
and it's like a built in amphitheater where it's just
like big cement things and Herzog whatever his name is,
and this Bob and this gets me to highlight number two.

(15:52):
He gets on the mic and he's like, oh, Rawana, Well,
well we're gonna do the We're ten minutes away from
the Chicken Dans and he's like yelling at people to
come join it.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
Dehydrated the Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Oh my god, I get it, dude. People are also adults.
They know to drink water.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
It was hot.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
We were in the direct it was hades. It was
very very hot. Oh ya, don't forget their mirror and
thirty two water stations.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
I thought he was really likable. The Kenny played weird.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Al yeah, okay, he didn't play it. The people running
the festival played it well.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
It was his bed. But they said one thing from
the top when we were still at the top of
the Amphitheater where you have to go down.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
It's very Shakespearean where you have to go down to
the water.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
But Bob Herzog let loose with one thing and we
got a lot of famous celebrities. Ikey Woods is here, Diane.
I threw my hands in the air and I went
running down the stairs.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
I was going to see Ikey Woods in person.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
So now I'm doing two things at the Chicken Dance,
and my my mood went from an eight and a
half to a ten and a half like I was
to be there. But when they said Ikey, I went
immediately to a ten point five on a scale of one. Detack.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
You were bouncing around before he even started the attempt
for the world record.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Because up on stage, I'm looking at and listen. I
didn't grow up a Cincinnati Bengals fan, not at all.
But you didn't know who Ikey Woods was Oh my god.
So anyway, remember he played with our buddy Boomer. He
was the running back to Boomer's cornerback. So anyway, they
were like, Ikey's gonna be here. I was like, Diane,

(17:33):
follow me. I went running down those stairs. I wanted
to be up front. And then Bob came out. He
was like, worry bad strow the gin and dance. When
they started the chicken dance, it was great. I was
I'm part of the world record. We all are. We
did have to pause at one point though, because Kristen

(17:56):
knocked the table with all the beer over. It was
so funny, and then I urged you guys dancing, get dancing,
don't blow the record. What you guys to be the
cause for them not to set it? Here we go,
this is when we docy dough and watch Kristin's arm right. Nope,
we gotta circle back the other way and there goes
the table. Oh my god, he dancing. Keith dancing, and

(18:24):
now it looks like just a big puddle is on
the table. Yeah, and on my leg.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Who was the random guy that started grabbing us? He
had chickens on his head.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Because people were dancing. You gotta find somebody to docy
do with.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yes, not John. We knew John in the white shirt,
but there was another guy. Yeah, John's moving to Dallas.
We're all going to with the dosey do part. You
kind of weave your way through the crowd. Yeah. I
was connected to Kristen and then Kristen took out the table.
Some people were only there at the event for this record, right, well,
you want to be part of the record.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
The girl in the chicken out said. I was like,
Oh my god, how hot is she?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
If she didn't die, I don't know how she did.
She was wearing a full on, like furry outfit. Yeah. No,
it was awesome. It was great. It was great. I
got I got my hat that I wanted to buy. Yeah,
we had to walk along and Ques. That's probably why

(19:20):
my shoe blew out. That's one hundred percent while your
shoe blew out. I took my picture with Cincinnatis, the
patron saint of Cincinnati. Yeah, it was awesome. It was great,
A lot of fun and just feed the people there.
Very nice time, very very nice. It was crowded. It
was definitely When you got down towards.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
The river, you could eight hundred thousand people there.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
You had to take your time, especially when you were
near the vendors or the food, and nobody got upset
with a little no bumps and maybe trips that were
going on.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
And you got to remember there was also a baseball
game going on, so that adds another two were three
thousand people, but there were there were eight hundred thousand
people at the at Cincinnati or a Cincinnati. It was amazing.
And I will say this, and I know some people
were like, hey, be careful in this area. I felt
unbelievably safe in Cincinnati. Left it. Yeah, unbelievably safe. Also,

(20:18):
everybody in Cincinnati loves a Corvette. It's so many. If
I could register one complaint about downtown Cincinnati open more
places to buy cigarettes, that's my only complaint. I couldn't
find any. Thank god I traveled with. It was so
much fun. Yeah, so much fun. That's a great city.

(20:39):
That was a good time. That's certainly it made up
for not going to Minneapolis getting canceled. But you know
what it also did doesn't make me feel like I
missed anything in Munich. It made me realize again how
ridiculous our trip to Disney was. Oh, yeah, in one day,
because it feels fast.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
When you fly Friday. Everyone knows this from weddings too.
When you flash for Friday and then come back on Sunday,
it's fast fast. We did Disney in one day.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, not even a whole day. Yes, Where am I going?
Line too? Hi? Ellie in the morning?

Speaker 7 (21:16):

Hi? That Anne? Yes, Joeyanne? What can I do for you?

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (21:25):
I've lived in Cincinnati for twenty four years or years.
Moved here to Maryland five years ago. But you are
amazing to have hit all of the best spots that
I remember in Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Oh, it was great in such a short time. Oh,
it's fantastic.

Speaker 7 (21:42):
You shit everything the Eagle is phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
I'll tell you what that is. Some good chicken. That
is some good fried chicken out there.

Speaker 7 (21:50):
Yes, wonderful. But I need to tell you about the murals.
My son is an artist, and when he was in
high school Coleraine High School in Cincinnati, he was part
of Cincinnatia has an art foundation and they bring in
students with an artist to paint the murals. So he
was part of the Fruit and Vegetable mural on the

(22:13):
Kroger Building.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Oh that was the three D looking one.

Speaker 7 (22:19):
Yes, yes, it was amazing. And they actually painted that
when the temperatures in the summer were over one hundred
degrees so Criner kept bringing them water and data, egg
and everything else because they were up on scaffolding and everything.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Oh that that was a really impressive one.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
You know what, that's cool, that's very cool.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Good for you.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
Yeah, most of the murals were painted by that art foundation.
Others were just artists in the area. But I wanted
to share that with you all.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
I will say this again. It does give a cool
look to to like that downtown area. It's very cool. Hey,
what is your what does your son do?

Speaker 5 (22:56):
Now?

Speaker 7 (22:58):
He actually went to s gad in Savannah and he's
trying to start a company.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh you, good for you.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
Good for you.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
By the way, Diane, how do you remember seeing that,
because I remember pointing that one out to Kristen.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Oh really the effect that one? Oh I must have
been driving when we went by it, which, by the way,
I give up. I drive too slow, Diane gets mad,
I drive too fast. Diane gets mad. Red the what's
wrong with left on red? Left on red going one
way to one way is legal, that is how you
do it. That's okay. And then I didn't know which

(23:33):
way we're supposed to turn, so I stopped in the
middle of the road and people honked and Diane was like, oh,
you gotta go, there's no making you happy. Thank you, ma'am.
And again people were very very kind and interactive online,
so thank you too many. You couldn't get back to him.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
The Oh, it was crazy because David was chasing us
all over trying to follow us.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
We finally met. He was very nice.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
He was very nice. And his wife Laura, Yeah, no,
they were great. So what's up next?

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Bowling? Bowling? Diane has to get a strike in? How
long does she have? Twenty four hours? I think, And
I mean listen, I didn't like we still I haven't
even started putting it together. But wouldn't it make the
most sense to do it at Uptown alley? It definitely
would like to me, that makes the most sense. I

(24:28):
don't know where else we're going to get a bowling alley,
so I'm not just saying like, oh, let's just throw it.
But we've done stuff with them. Yeah. Also, and they're
very nice people.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Exactly, And when the excitement of Diane's thing starts to
fade fast.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Like after the first fifteen minutes. Yeah, we've had good
times there when Diane's like, my arm hurts and don't
need to rely on Diane for our entertainment. Here's my
only question though. If we do it, though Number one, like,
what time does Uptown Alley close at night? What's da day?
Are you hoping to do it on a Friday? We'll

(25:02):
get off work, we'll drive to, We'll drive to We'll
drive to Richmond.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Looks like is it four to eleven?

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Oh? I see one here?

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Oh maybe you must be a different location the I need.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well, I mean that's a big difference. I see one am,
one am.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Thank you Uptown Alley Richmond dot com. Yeah, so if
Diane isn't done by one do they will they extend hours?

Speaker 4 (25:31):
No, you're right, Yeah, it's during the week. It's eleven,
but you're right.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Friday, Okay, yes, one am?

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Or is it like we saw this happen with Wardian
on the Appalachian Trail last week. He had to come
home and then go go back. So I have to
go to the hotel and then go back in the morning, Like,
does she have to start it up again at ten
am Saturday morning.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, I think that, I like. I hope that doesn't
happen and they're open again till one am Sunday morning. Yeah.
All right, it's one strike, Diane.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Y'all are putting all this pressure on me.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'm not putting any pressure on you. Just throw the
goddamn ball down the Oh, it's.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
One strike is not pressure. No, I told you it
would be a stretch.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
In twenty four hours. Yeah, to get one strike.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
You think by our four my arm ain't gonna be tired.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
But maybe maybe you will be.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh my god, oh my god. Please don't let me forget.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
I haven't gotten to my highlight from Cincinnati yet.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Were you talking about Ikey and the zoo?

Speaker 1 (26:34):
The yeah, no, no, but my highlight with Ikey, my
highlight with Ikey. I'll get back to it. No, no, no,
so Diane would start. However, whatever time we got down there,
we get Diane going no. No. But maybe once your
arm goes dead, your mind will too, and you won't
overthink it. What do I always tell you?

Speaker 2 (26:51):
At times?

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Don't think, just speak, don't think, just throw the ball
or just roll the ball bowl the ball be the ball.
No no, no, no, no no, just throw the ball
down the thing. Would you feel better because I talked
to you? This is this is the God's honest truth.
I talked to Mike Jones about this because he and
his wife bowl. I know it's hot and sexy. They

(27:14):
have people at his bowling alley that you could take
private lessons from. Should you take some lessons before we go? No?

Speaker 6 (27:28):
Do you?

Speaker 2 (27:28):
But at least to get the motion down.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
I told you I used to do pretty well on
we bowling. Completely different game, starting animal.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Starting with actually bowling right. But you have to be
able to get a strike. Jess. We're going to be
like the losers who sit all day and watch Fiona
with like factoids thrown in here and there. Factoid that's
her seven hundredth gutter ball factoid. But I think, I think,

(28:02):
and again I this is day one of starting to
put this together. But it would make most sense to
do it at least. Here's part of my problem. I
don't And I'm not just saying this as like a
The only bowling alley people I know other than Mike
Jones is Uptown Alley.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Would they give us a lane to use?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Though? I do believe. So that's gonna be the hard
part because they like people go bowling, not Diane, but
people do go bowling.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Oh, because you go bowling. When's the last time you bowled?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Anyway? Okay, No, I'm trying to think probably within the
it's got to be within the last year.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
Liar, No, No, when in the last year have you
gone bowling? Because we would have heard about it.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
I don't remember the exact date. Anyway, the rolled another
three hundred no, no, but I just I'm gonna need
them to give us a lane. I think we can
arrange get it done. All right, very good, Very good?
Am I going to line one? Hi? Ellie in the morning.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
Hey, this is Jessica from Midlothian.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Hi, it's you guys.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
Go to Uptown Alley. You need to come on Wednesday
night so we can all line dance.

Speaker 7 (29:14):
When you get bored with the bullying.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Oh so if we started, if we started the bowling
at five, I can start line dancing at five oh
five when I'm bored watching Diane just gutterballet. No, no, no,
I mean it's gonna have to be on a Friday.
It's gonna have to be on a Friday. That's the
other thing that will be Well, you could go on
a Friday.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
And who's to say it doesn't imprompt to break out anyway?
Line dancing it.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Very well, made it very well.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
May well listen, I will line dance with you.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Guys if you go on a Friday. Actually, don't get
ahead of yourself. Don't get ahead of yourself. Don't get
ahead of yourself. Yes, no, no, no, I haven't even
talked to anybody yet. I've got talked to no one.
I haven't even talked to my wife. But yes, we'll
get it figured out. I was just thinking in terms
of that is what's next. Yes, and if we're gonna

(30:07):
do it, which we are, that we have to think.
I think we go to Uptown Alley. It makes the
most sense for us, So we'll figure that out. Can
I go back to Ikey Woods for a second. Two things?
Ikey did exactly what you wanted him to do. What
do you mean, Well, not only did he do the
chicken dance, he was up on stage and he did
the chicken dance.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
But what did he do at the end, Well, he
was asked to do the shuffle.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Come to the bar. He didn't. He was not the
goofy like no, but he was pukey. Ikey did the shuffle.
It was awesome, or as I said on Instagram, the
Ikey shuffle. It was unreal. I've seen it on TV
a million times. He did the Ikey shuffle. See it now.
Has Ikey put on some weight since he played Yes,

(30:53):
But seeing him do the Ikey show and he still
wears all his Bengals get up and I did learn something.
And I don't know if he's always like this, but
apparently Ikey doesn't like to take a lot of photos
because I'd be lined for Ikey after the after the
the Chicken dance.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Does he do that?

Speaker 5 (31:13):
So it's not to create like a massive crowd scene
doing that. I or like one person gets a photo,
then everybody wants.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
I was the only person around him and he was there,
and I tapped him on the shoulder and I said, hey, Ikey,
do you mind if I get a quick photo? And
he said, I ain't taking pictures, son, son, But you
were excited by the exchange. I don't even care that
he said, no, I don't even care. I don't care well,

(31:40):
and there's a picture of me talking to Ikey, but
that's if you could read his lips, he's saying, I
ain't taking pictures. Son. I talked to Ikey Woods. It
was amazing.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
So I don't even care that I got the heisman,
which he never won ever did.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
But yeah, I, oh my god, that is an all
over print. Oh and I still have my uh my
souvenir muggs.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Two things in there that didn't happen. You keeping that
mug and you getting a real close up by the way.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
You know what I didn't.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
I cropped out his family that you sort of stepped over.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
The I had to get him out of the way.
The But you know what I didn't realize until seeing
the picture. Yeah, he doesn't look happy. Well, it was warm,
it was very warm. I'm also behind a.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Barrier at this point asking if I could take a
picture with him.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
You walked right by Bob Herzog. I walked by Bob Herzog.
I walked by the gates who I walked by everything
setting up for a live shot. Hey set up the camera,
got I got all the odd old newsers and you.
It just blew right by, right by him. And that's
me getting h shoot away by Ikey. Yeah, but you

(32:55):
have the like you said, I have proof that Ikey
said no and you got to see the shuffle live.
I ain't taking no pictures son when he oh my god,
when he broke out into the shuffle.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Oh that was that.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
That's a highlight. And he did so like the picture
of you I made on contact with Fona and Ikey.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
I will say this to he. When it came to
the Chicken dance, he did it. He didn't just stand
out here and wait for the check to do.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
I don't cash.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
I don't feel like he was. He moved as well
as we did, but he did.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Do it well. He didn't want to bump into a
table the Christian did. Yeah, Christen shattered the whole thing.
I also thought Christian was a loser mind when they
played hang On Sloopy.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Oh oh oh, you know what.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
I have never seen so many like oh hi, I
don't even know what to call them, like Ohio related
shows of unity from her in one weekend.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Oh it's all it's brotherhood. I know.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Marilyn loves their flag. Marylyn got to learn from Ohio.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
And obviously we're not in Columbus, but we are in
state right at Greater's I ordered something called Buckeye Blitz
because I knew it was going to be an in
house flavor, and Kristen was like.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Damn, are you a fan now?

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Like you didn't. We were barely off the plane when
when she shouted.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Oh wait, yeah, we were waiting for our bags gate
check because they were too big, not Elliott goes fit
had no problem, no problem. You had shoes in your bag.
How little clothes did you bring?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I brought two T shirts, a pair and a pair
of pants.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
That's it. Yeah, and I mean underwear.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
You could have used a laptop bag for your clothes.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
No, I thought about it. Actually, yeah, I didn't bring anything.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
What do I need? And you didn't bring anything home? No?

Speaker 5 (34:53):
No, Like every time I turned around there was another
thing to make o hio too. I was like, what's
this sloopy song?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
You don't know this?

Speaker 4 (35:03):
Now I don't know this?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yes, there she goes. We've played that in here and
you can see her. Oh getted up and you would
sit hear me And this played before my own money
got three minutes? Get your water?

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Was this before we're now?

Speaker 5 (35:30):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (35:31):
By Oh you yell at Chrispin, turn yourself on? But yeah, no,
every and everybody do what The old guy in front
of me, who by the way, I think it's the
first time he's walked in years, but he got right up.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
It's like he was born again.

Speaker 9 (35:49):
Absolutely, it went this chicken dance, kiky shuffle, taking no
pictures song, Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Christians, I'm in love with you. That's so said, oh ahead,
