an off the air conversation where soif he can't say, and of course
(00:23):
we made him tell us what hewas trying to not tell us. And
it's crazy. We ain't done yet. It's time for the past year,
completely uncensored and unacting filtered except forthat part the show's after show starts.

we don't have to travel. It'snice. You know, it's gonna be
(01:47):
super easy to go to the conferenceand all that stuff. But it's bad
because it is sort of a littlegetaway for us from our families and you
know, we get to hang outwith each other outside of work, which
can close by ourselves, great dinner, yeah, which we still will.
Yeah, it's different. It's weirdbecause it's here, like I could literally
drive home. We're still getting thehotel room because it's in our contract.
(02:08):
What's up, and so we're stillgonna take advantage of everything that comes with
it. Yeah, but it's justgonna be just a different vibe, if
you will. But all good,it's still gonna be good. So we
were talking about different things that is, and it's coming up in August,
so there's still some time and we'retalking about different things. When you walked

about? He goes, no,the Wednesday before the conference, and I
go, what's it? What isit? He goes, that's it.
I go, well, whytch,you bring it up? You know this
is what he does. And soI also know if I continue to pester
(02:51):
him, he will tell us becausehe will say it inside of him.
Well, in case he he wantsto talk, he has to get it
out. He has to, butthen he will self censor. But he
has no ability to keep it in. No, true, And so I
just kept going, what is it? What is it? And then Emily
got in there and she's like,what is it? What is it?
What is it? What is it? So we kept saying what is it?
And then we took the silid approachfor a few seconds too, and
(03:13):
then we made it awkward for him. Yeah, and he goes all right,
and he told us and we arestill in shock, honestly. Yeah,

the conference starts like normally early inthe morning, you know, Thursday morning.
I know it feels early. Igot to be there for that first
panel. It's all about stats,you know. I love good stats.
(03:57):
I usually come rolling in around ninefifteen. What this guy's locked in with
their pen taking notes to pay attentionwhen they're talking. Bro, we can
talk after, Okay. Got torespect the person up there talking. Yeah,
I mean, it's not a nationOkay. Anyway, So I I
was talking to my wife and thatnight is the Food Fires concert pet Co

okay, you don't have to doso I have nothing planned. Wednesday night
(04:41):

you develop your Smoky Robinson? Yeah? Like, were you a big fan
a while? You develop that?Okay, not going to so I'm not

I might. We'll see but then, but then what's he doing. There's
no chance she's gonna make him,by the way, I imagine if Robert
didn't work. And then he alsorefused to take me to my work thing.
(06:08):
That's insane. Like, I mean, he won't refuse if I tell
him, like, dude, yougotta do this, but he'll be like,
oh, are you sure it wouldbe so relaxing for you? You
know you can, like he justhe always tries to bullshit like how it's
something better for me? Like Isee right through you guys. You just
don't want to drive, so whatever. Okay. So we were talking and
(06:30):
then you know, she's like,yeah, we can go out to we
could do dinner, maybe at thehotel or something that's cool. And I
go, you know what'd be cool? What? Oh god, what would

(06:54):
show up as somebody else. I'msorry, you really no, you really
fuck skuy up? Oh my gosh, well this was our reaction off.
Oh wag, I'm sure that.I'm sure she's gonna have some sort of
outfit, which would be something shenormally would sware. Yeah, is she
going to have a backstory? Ohooker is Yeah, we're going for so
(07:16):
is she coming Wednesday? Now?Just watch this play out just so you
know I'm there. I would Iwould tell you guys, like take video
for you from a distance. Itwouldn't turn out, wouldn't it. So
that's the plan right now, she'sgonna she's gonna kill me for saying this.
Now is the vibe actually for herto like kind of pretend to be
a hooker. We're not going tobe at the hotel bar? Yes,
(07:39):
Like I realize that there's gonna bea lot of people that we know in
that hotel bar. I don't knowif you can somebody really knows me,
they know you. They don't knowHayley. So if they see you going
up to a girl that looks likea hooker, well, like I said,
all show today, their own businessand let me do me okay,
(08:00):
door was merry, Yeah, butit would be yeah, it's my wife,
so they don't they don't know that. So if the rumor starts,
let me know it's definitely going tospread the room. Definitely go around to
people. Hey, you're about four. If it goes well Wednesday and night,
we'll do it again Thursdays. Doublehooker. Yeah, she's already looked
(08:20):
at some We have wigs in theQ on Amazon. There's four of them,
so I gotta pick color. Color. She's going to kill me.
I really hope she doesn't listen tothis. So she has like blonde.
Yeah, I love her hair.I love her hair, but I got
a thing for redheads. Is thatwhat we're doing? So we have that's
(08:41):
orders. Sorry, he just orderedit. It's in the cart. Gets
a really super curly wig. Wehave long we have long wine red wavy
wig. We have long ginger redwig with braids, and then we have
a red wig with long wavy synthetichair. So three weeks, I'll tell
you what I'm going to keep mywife away from. Four I would I
(09:05):
was making me very uncomfortable. Imean, this is fascinating on a few
different levels. Number One, thoughI don't know if you remember this story,
but Sky at a radio conference inNew Orleans was mistaken for a hooker.
I don't know why. This isa very legendary story from back in
the day. We're in New Orleans. Yeah, right across the street from
(09:28):
the hotel that we stayed at wasa Harrah's like, which is so legit,
a casino right across the street.Nobody actually went at the conference because
everybody just went over to her andwe were right next to Bourbon Street,
so between the Haras. And that'swhy it hasn't been back in New Orleans
in a while, because nobody wentto the conference. So Sky very weirdly
(09:50):
decide, you know what, I'mgoing to go over and walk across the
street to Harris. But I don'tknow if we had a dinner or if
you were killing time. I don'tremember, why did you bring the book?
So I was killing time, andso I had already blown through my
budget of how much money to gamblewith, so basically I had run out
of money, but I had nothingelse to do, and I knew everybody
(10:11):
kept going across the street to thecasino. And I was really into these
Nora Roberts novels at the time,so anytime I traveled, I would bring
a book with me to read onthe play sex books right, Oh yeah,
well, they're like mom sex.Yeah, you and you were dressed
up because we were going out toour dinner. Then so she walks over
(10:33):
and she's in the hotel bar andit's so hot it's August in New Orleans.
So dressed up. It's like ashort dress, like you know,
it's for Scott, for me,there was a lot of that. She
was wearing her one pair of heels, what she wears now years ago,
classic timeless. Okay, So she'sover there, she's dressed like that,
(10:58):
reading a book, which is weirdand and it was sort of a thing
that I guess prostitutes do in NewOrleans so to wait for their clientele.
They're just chill and I guess Idon't know, but they're they're like in
the hotel bar like, yeah,he's chilling. Yeah, I guess that's
a thing if you're looking for ahooker. We found out look for a
(11:18):
woman sitting alone reading a book atthe bar, and I guess that's cracked
up. The conversation work at thedeal you get to go. It is
so Sky not knowing this and beingthe goofball that she is, goes over
there, sits there and guess whathappens? Having a drink her her John
(11:39):
came up to her and struck upa deal, and and I like cut
I in a way, looking backat it, I think I kind of
encouraged it first with the book.But you know me, how bad I
am at remembering people. So whenthis guy approached me, I thought he
was a guy from radio boot Campthat I just didn't remember. So I'm
being like, oh, really friendlyand asking him questions and all of that.
(12:03):
This is the worst hooker. Ipay you to stop talking about.
Well, good luck, thora I'mexcited. This is months away customer who
knows if it's going to happen now. I mean, we listen, We're
not blowing up your game. You'redoing this here. This is awesome.
I want to watch, not thesex part.
