Speaker 1 (00:11):
Progressive rock, little math rock at the end there, do
you see that? Yeah, it was still a long time.
I don't know. I played every note I could think of.
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I was a Hall of Fame mouthlicks right there.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I had to overcompensate a little bit, and I'll tell
you all why in just a moment. But thanks to
you the listener for joining us today. You know, the
show goes a Chris Lucks. I want to kick it
with two of my Cral digital buds of yesteryear with
me today. All the way in North Hollywood, California, back
back from a cruise to the edge.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
I was, I was so close to the edge, dude,
cruise there.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Dawson was on a cruise with a bunch of flat earthers.
We'll talk about in just a moment, but give it
for Mike Dawson.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Hello, happy to be here, really really stoked to be home.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah, I bet I know how you feel. And then
all the way in Long Beach, California, like myself, it's
Kaylin Bean.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Hey, Kaylen good see buddy?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
So yeah, the mouth flicks. We're a little extra, as
the kids say. The reason being was we are two
members short at the moment. Matt Fondelier is not here
and Gary Smith is not here. Gary has some work
stuff he had to do today, so.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
I think he's working on a new position. So I
think they're really giving it to him over there at
the moment.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
And then Matt, I don't know why he wasn't able
to make it today, but he's had a rough week regardless.
You know, I'll let him talk about it more, but
just give him some love because he informed us this
week that his dog Taco has passed away, so he's
really going through it. So please let Matt know that

(01:58):
you're thinking of him, because that's that's really tough. So
we're thinking of you, buddy. I know you listening because
you always do this probably the third time, the third
pass at this particular episode. So we love you, dude,
and we'll hear from you next week. Uh yeah, look
it it sucks. I mean Dawson posted a picture of
Boo not that long ago. This is Yeah, it's like

(02:19):
this stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
It hits. It hits hard, so.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
No, it never it you know, it gets a little easier,
it does, but it never never goes away.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
So anyway, well, we'll hear from Matt next week as well.
But DAWs, you had a fifteen hour travel day yesterday.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, dude kicked us off the boat at seven am,
and we got to get off with the crew. So
it's like we are we are the first one. Well,
these my people, the first one's off and then and
then you know, just flying. I hate flying.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
You had my.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Ears got full of altitude, Chris, and I I couldn't.
Nothing I could do would pop my ears. So I
was just miserable the entire time. And then you landed Lax.
Never book a flight the lands today Llax at four
fifteen pm, especially if you live in the valley. I

(03:16):
didn't get home until seven o'clock. But I did a
new thing. And I don't know how you guys feel
about this, but one of the guys on the cruise
told me he does this, he said, since the uber
thing at Lax is such a mess, what he does
is he gets off and he just jumps on the
nearest hotel shuttle and gets to a hotel and calls

(03:39):
an uber from there. There were no hotel shuttles at
my terminal, so I jumped on an Avis rent a
car shuttle. And they took me out to a horrible
place by lax and it still took it just took
forever to get an uber. But at least I was
out of lax. But I was checked.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
And you know how your your iPhone crap gives.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
You, uh, your your circle of fitness or health or
how much you move?

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, your your fitness monitor.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
I checked it.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I checked it.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Over the last five six days, I walked seven miles
a day.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Close them rings, Stephan.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Now now Apple thinks, I'm like, dude, this guy must
be really into exercise.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Now let's increase his stuff.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
So now I can't even close the damn thing because
I let to walk the dog.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
But uh yeah, over seven miles every day.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
But you're going the other way with that, honestly, cruise
and you're on a flight, and then thought you were
gotten lesser. But I didn't expect the over.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I was expecting like a quarter ring scaling. So that's
I mean, look, there are a lot of stairs and cruises.
I remember when I wore my watch, it counted all
the flights of stairs that went and everything too so
and but I mean travel that you're sitting on a plane,
your ears full of altitude.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, walking around too much. No, No, did not walk
that much after that, but.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
It was awesome.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I introduced, introduced like twelve bands, did a couple of
hosted a couple of Q and ASH with artists.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
That I knew nothing about, nothing about.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
This is this kind of music, although I dig it, it's.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Not my wheelhouse. It's very intricate rock.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
And there was a lot of progressive metal on this boat,
like Haken and a band called Calidile's Horse and they
were just so fucking good.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
But yeah, every note was played.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
So anyway, doing my first Q and A with a
band called IQ, and I'm like, great, IQ, Yeah, let's
just fucking lead it off with the smartest people in
the genre that I know nothing about. But at least
I have a level of confident confidence from broadcasting that
just led me to say, you know what, I don't
care man. You put me in the room with anybody

(06:03):
and I can carry on a conversation. But so I
did two of those, and then I'd host every single
theme night that we did. Me and Izzy hosted every
theme night. They had a they had Cape Night, Cape Night. Yes,
Cape Night was pretty awesome. Rick Wakeman from Yes judged

(06:25):
the winner of Cape Night.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Uh we had, we had, oh.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Dude, kind of controversial, bro. When I saw that this
was happening, I was not really in favor of it.
But then again, I don't make the rules, and I'm
not going to tell a five year old and seven
year old girl that they cannot win. Some adult was

(06:54):
very smart. An adult and his wife were very smart,
and they put apes on their cute little girls and
paraded them around. And Rick Wakeman shows the little girls
to win the free cruise next year.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Oh so Cave Night was fixed.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
That was that was there.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
There was a lot of complaints, dude, You've never seen
so many. Not so many, but there are a lot
of one more.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
There are a lot of.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
You know, sixty plus year old prog ladies who are
very entitled and they want to tell you how to
do your job. And I literally got yelled at after.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Well some of the feedback tell me about these debriefs here.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Well, I got yelled at by an old person last
week too, But.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it was just it was just about,
you know, just about the cake guy. This lady comes
up to me and she says, you know, how could
you let that happen. How could you let it happen
that two little girls win? And I'm like, I understand. Look,
I don't make the rules. Makes the rules. Who makes
the rules? You're the host, You're the one with the microphone.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
You should be.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Making the rules. And I'm like, you know, if you
really have a problem, you can talk to my boss.
Who's your boss?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
And I'm like, and I tell him my boss's name,
and I'm like, I hope you have a great time,
and I hope this doesn't ruin your cruise. And then
I walk away and walk up to one of my
friends and I'm like, tell that bitch to go say
the same thing to Rick Wakeman.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Go tell that bitch to tell a five.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Year old and seven year old girl that I'm sorry
you can't win.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
I was, I was so angry.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Was she wearing a cape when she was yelling at no?

Speaker 3 (08:35):
She was not even participating in cape night.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
There was one night was they called it Prague of
the Dead, and I was wondering, like, the what the
hell is progue of the dead? It was zombie night
on the ship and one guy, one guy actually made
out of toilet paper, made paper mache out of toilet
paper and completely turned his face into a crusted zombie.

(09:02):
You could see this on the Cruise of the Edge
facebook page.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
But there is, uh, there's a picture of me.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
That will be coming out soon where I'm like freaked
out by this guy and he does the whole walking
dead walk and he had it down, dude, and the
makeup was perfect, and I was fifty percent acting and
fifty percent legitimately frightened to death of this dude.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
The mushrooms probably didn't help.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
No, I didn't take any mushrooms, dude.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
I was where I had way too much work to do,
so I didn't I didn't partake in any of that.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
The progue didn't bring You didn't bring the weed microphone.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
He was just like at a balcony, dude. I of
course I brought the weed microphone.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, he showed it to us, that thing.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Yeah. Now, I smoked a few joints on my balcony.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
You know, usually in these cruises we get we might
get a window cabin, but well we don't get balconies
a lot of the time. And so the cool thing was, I,
you know, you never go back to your room because
there's nothing to do in there but sleep and you
got to work anyway. But I would go back to

(10:21):
my room for like fifteen to twenty minutes at a
time and just go sit at the balcony, stare at
the ocean, catch my breath, and go, okay, I'm ready
to go back to work.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
And it was super cool.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Thank I missed the cruise life, so I'm glad. I'm
glad that you got to do it. And yeah, it's
a well here's I'm glad that those kids get to
do it next year as well.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, here's the good news.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Good news is I have been informed and asked to
join the hosting crew on the Monsters of Rock Crews,
which is the catilet Tesla headlined last year.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Next year we.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Got so Cadillac Tesla. What else?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Uh yeah, nice night Rangers playing.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
It's all, it's all those great eighties mostly rock metal
bands like uh, you know, Slaughter and Faster, pussycat.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Y and t.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Stuff that you know, you guys were three when it
came out, but it's still.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
You know, I was not born yet, Dawson.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
It's all. Uh, it's all.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
It's all the people who are still part party at
the Rainbow Bar and grill.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
And uh so that's gonna be fun.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
And now I get to do three cruises and one
music festival with them every year. And uh they informed
me that cruised and that Monsters of Rock twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Actually, I probably shouldn't say this.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
I don't want to. I probably shouldn't say this. I'll
say it on the page. Now, I'll say it on
the Patreon. I really do not want to.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
I stayed.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
That's the thing, man, with this company, you stay in
your lane, you do your job, and then you won't
get in trouble. And I'm just I'm I'm super blessed.
It certainly is a charmed life.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, I'm so pumped for you, mannybody fall off the boat.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
No, dude.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
However, there's a weird thing I was thinking about you
guys when I was standing on the edge of my balcony.
I was on deck nine, so it's quite a quite
a drop, and I was like, it was an irrational fear,
but it was a very very small fear. But there

(12:47):
was a little piece of me that was like, what
if I just momentarily lost my mind and jumped off
this balcony.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
When we were on the cruise, and I would look
over I would think the exact same thing, and it
would scared it. I would be scared to look at nighttime.
At nighttime that was like, oh if I just jumped
over here, I'd just be gone, whatever find me and
I would be dead.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Well.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
I asked Izzy about it because, uh, you know, a
couple of months ago, about a month ago, uh Tamy
Down's fiance uh Tamy from Faster Pussycat, his fiance jumped
jumped off the balcony of.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
A cruise ship. They were in a fight.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
She was drinking and it was like, well, I'll show
you and fucking jumped. And I asked Izzy, I'm like,
what do you think was going through her head when
she was in the water and the boats leaving and
isz He said, Oh, the impact had to kill her,
Like you hit the ocean from that that high up.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I don't think you're that high up. It's like the
Golden Gate Bridge.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
That's seems to be the consensus that.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
I have heard rumors that you lose consciousness before you
before the impact, even because the shock, I.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Feel like it would need to be higher for that.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I would I think, yeah, yeah, dude, because I'm pretty.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Like you have like a heart attack or something before
you even hit the ground. But that's from a much higher.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm pretty sure that would be more. Jason Patrick did
do that in speed to Cruise Control and he survived.
So yeah, so I don't know.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
You know, somebody needs to check.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Their facts, but I do.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I do have those weird feelings as well, like, oh,
man if I just had just a split second, even
when on the second floor of a mall, just looking
over the looking over to the first floor from the
from the railing there, like, man if I just go
crazy for one second, just jump off and boom, I'm done.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Well, it's good to know you guys think that too,
because I actually.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
That you haven't thought that.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
That was their first time. It's like it's like when
I'm driving up the Big Bear and you're going up
those mountains and you're like, hey, what if I just
turn the car off the side of this mountain and
go tumbling down. I think about that too, like if
I just go crazy.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Maybe.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Angel of death not now, not now?

Speaker 3 (15:16):
And I thought I should just recommend that he does it.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I mean, he's looking over okay already thinking about it.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
By the way, guys, do I do I clean there
real quick. Okay, that's doll mm.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
That wasn't me. I only do humans. Okay, So my
cousin Jesse, he's the one that does animals. He's on
a bitch. We hate him every time we see him,
things differing.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
He's the worst. So I just want to let everybody
know that that wasn't me. That was Jesse, and we
all hate him anyway.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
So stam, I like, I like that you guys are
at least still celebrating holidays in hell.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
That's got to show up rat.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
But anyway, Yeah, talker was not me. Just want to
make that clears. Those people could start me. Okay, they'll
kill me.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
That was me. I'm sorry about that.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Geez oh.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
As I was running around introducing bands, I always try
to think of new ways to introduce a band, right,
And so if I didn't have anything, you know, to say,
I just go backstage and I just pace for like

(16:40):
seven eight minutes, and then finally something would come to me.
I'd be like all right, and I rehearse it out
and I'm like, okay, that's what I'm gonna do. And
there's always a there's always an opening a middle and
uh bringing the band on, you know.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
So hold on, we're holding off button. But sorry, I'm fighting.
I'm fighting the cruise crud.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's called the virus. But yeah, cr crud. You're not
You're not sick yourself. You'll be fine. There you go.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
I'm not sick. I'm just you know, beating down the
cruise crud. Anyway, I this one introduction came to me and.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
I got it on video. I'll share it.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
I brought my my roadmc's Wireless Love, and I set
up my phone to record from like front of house,
plug the Wireless Love into it, and then set the
other end of the wireless lave at front of house.
You could hear you know, both things me backstage or

(17:48):
on stage very clear.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
And then what's coming out of the house system.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
And so anyway I thought of I thought of this intro,
and I said, really simple. I said, science has taught
us there is no sound without atmosphere here to provide both.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
And then I introduced the band.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
And it got to a point where every band, five
dudes whatever walking on stage, they're all fucking high five
in me and they loved every intro. And then by
like day three, if a band saw me walk backstage
and they knew I was doing their intro.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
They started going, yeah, dude, all right, you're here.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
So it pumps them up just knowing that they're gonna
be brought brought up by you.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Yeah, and you know, my only job is to serve
as the transition between house music and next show. The
job is you gotta do some business things, you know,
tell people about a charity auction or what's going on,
you know. But you know, my only job is to
get people excited and to cheer and to make a
lot of noise so that so that the the artist

(19:04):
feels good.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
When when you're talking to a big crowd like that,
do you pick somebody to look at or you just
talk it like just as if it were a big
blob of.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
I ease. I do two things.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
I look at the people in the front, I.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Mean, where are you from?

Speaker 5 (19:22):
What you do?

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Know?

Speaker 4 (19:22):
But but I make I make eye contact with most
of the first two rows because I can see them
the best. And then but most of the time I
just look over the backs of everybody's heads. I look
at the top of everybody's heads and just kind of
scan the crowd.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
But yeah, it's a badass.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Man, So I'm glad.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'm glad you had fun. I'm glad it was access
a success.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
And you'll be at the Monsters faking.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yeah too bad Tesla is not going to be on
Monsters year.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Well I thought were dropping stuff on Patroon.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
I love that band.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Well I'm sure, I'm sure they're gonna have a banger
real yeah. Yeah, so you'll be all right. But okay, well,
look you're you're in reasonably good shape for somebody who
just got back.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
I'm in remarkably good shape.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
I had this conversation with one of my friends, and
my guardian angels are working overtime right now because all
things considered, I should be dead right now. Oh not
that bad, not that bad, you know me, I exaggerate
from time to time.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
But I got a total of.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
I didn't get more than five hours of sleep in
any one night. One day, I got to take a nap,
but I couldn't fall asleep. So you know, I slept
twenty five hours in five days, and then worked from
nine am to midnight usually.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
And it's all good people, good times.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Great people.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
And these these this particular crew, they don't micro manage you.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Everyone who does.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Their job is the best at their job, and you
just get a list of the shit you got to do,
and you're expected to get it done, and and you.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Always got to check in production.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
I would check in in production like twenty times a
day and go and find my bosses Dana in April
and I say, hey, what can I do to make
your life easier right now? And a bunch of times,
my favorite thing is Dana will be like, I need
a cruise announcement made sweet. So you go into into
this room behind the lobby desk of the ship, and

(21:49):
you know, hold this button and it goes bing bong,
and then I'd be like, good morning, Hermanos and sisters.
This is Dawson with another other awesomeness update on Cruise
to the Edge. You know, I don't remember anything I
said on this cruise, but one cruise we went to Mexico.

(22:12):
We got back from a day on shore and I
got back in and I said, I said, did anyone
else try to use their high school Spanish? Apparently there
is no biblioteca in Cosmo?

Speaker 3 (22:25):
And then just moving on and then I'd walk out.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
I'd walk out of the of the room, and I'd
see people in the hall and then people would stop
me for the next ten minutes. But dude, it's so
much fun. I'm telling you, dude, I am the luckiest
dude alive.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah. Stopped in two places. We went to fucking Haiti.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
No, we went to the Dominican Republic, but the Dominican
Republic place is just to Both of our stops were
strictly tourist places that the cruise line built and supports,
So essentially you're getting off a boat and getting on
another land boat, you know. So we got off on

(23:11):
the first one. We got off on the first at
porta Plata in the Dominican Republic, and me and Izzy
and this dude Brian and his wife Erica, and their
security guard Guy, and and he was the security guard
for karaoke every venue, all artists.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, his name is Guy.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
So anyway, were we had had like four or five
shots at tequila already, and and we were just kind
of walking through, thinking about going back to the ship.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
And I see a sign that says I love.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Taneo Bay, except the A and Bay is a lower
case A. And I see it and I just glance
at it and I say I love Tano Boy and
we all started laughing. And then we of course had
to make a fictitious boy band.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
We are now the Tano Boys and uh and and
we have promo shots and uh and everything. It was
a lot of fun in karaoke one night. And I
don't you know, I stay away. I go to karaoke
and watch and laugh and enjoy some stuff. Some people
are really good, some people are really bad.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
But what's your song?

Speaker 4 (24:33):
You got on every cruise? I do both parts of
the duet? You don't bring me flowers?

Speaker 2 (24:43):
And so it is.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
It's Neil Diamond and Barber streisand.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
And it was your best time.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
It was the best time.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
You know what mine is?

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Come on, what's yours?

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Nice, Chris? What yours?

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I've gotten the best feedback from either mister Bright's Side
or Love Song by Sarah burrellis okay? Yeah, you know,
I like to keep people on their toes. Speaking of karaoke,
what do you prefer people to be good or them
to be bad? Is it lame when somebody's good?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
When somebody's good, it's great.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
But it really depends on the song they choose, Like,
do you know the song all by my sl Dude,
this woman did that on the boat and freaking nailed it.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
I mean.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Just and it stretches out like dude, it goes, it
goes and octave up at the end and she hit
every single note and you know, she left the stage
to a broarious applause. And then when people are really bad,
I love it. It's the middle ground people that I
don't like. The people who can kind of sing and

(26:08):
they choose a week song or one that everyone can sing,
and it's like, you know, I hate it when people
sing Frank Frank Sinatra really because yeah, like you're not
that good.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
You'll never be that good.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
If you could sing like Frank, you wouldn't be doing
it in a fucking karaoke. But one guy did Frank,
and I was like, whatever, dude.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I like, yeah, Personally, I like the people that are
into it. I don't regardless of their pitch or their performance,
it's fine. I don't like people that just want to
cater to their friends. Yeah, not interested in that, Like
where they're just like laughing and you know it's like
an inside joke between them and their table. It's like,
what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Get out of it two guys.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Two guys did Tenacious du tribute and did it.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
All perfectly and it was hilarious.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Yeah, well, yeah, it's good times.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Damn. I want to think some karaoke with you guys.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
That's the thing, dude.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Karaoke starts at ten thirty and doesn't end until one thirty.
And then on another stage, you've got what's called Late
Night Live where all the cruisers themselves have been working
on songs via zoom with a music director and cruisers perform,

(27:36):
you know, great sets, and that's going on until two am.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
So music starts.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Music starts at at ten am and doesn't stop until
two am.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Every day. Oh, check this out on my schedule.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
At nine o'clock in the morning one day I had
to and there was a question mark to my name
has just said Dawson and it was Women of Prague
photo where just the chicks who are on the boat.
And I don't know why we did this in the theater.
We could have used this cigar lounge because this is

(28:19):
of a ninety percent dude's cruise, but all the women
of Prague got together in the theater and I was there.
We were taking a picture of them with this big
banner and.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
I was asked to be there.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
I had just to host it and welcome everybody and
coordinate the taking of this picture. So the first thing
I said was I said, welcome to the Women of
Prague photo shoot. You may be wondering why a dude
is talking to you. I say, I'm here so you
can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Most of them laughed.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
I was charming.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Well, I'm glad.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
That's such a good time, dude.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yeah, sorry, lots of stories. Don't mean to uh sounds
like fun. They just they just I just.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Keep remembering these things as as we're talking about them,
and uh.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
That is a sign of a good trip. If yeah,
you're you're you're making that many memories and everything is
just reminding you of another one. So I'm glad, dude,
and uh, yeah, you're gonna you're uh, you're gonna keep
doing this and I'm pumped for you.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
Man, as long as as long as this cruise keeps going.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
I got a job.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
So, Kaitlin, you were yelled at by an old person
as well.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
I was, Yeah, it's uh, it's a pretty much story.
What did you do if I was in the wrong here?
Let me know, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't worth
getting yelled at. I uh, I decided to uh get
a little exercise in. When I exercise, I like to
ride my bike pretty much down the river, like the

(30:01):
river bank that's all cemented off. I like to ride
my riverbank all the way down to the beach. I
knew a little exercise. Yeah, So I haven't done it
in a while. So I was like, oh, I need
to go get my tires filled. There's a bike shop
right around the corner from my house. So I rode
my bike over to the bike shop. It was Sunday,
it was closed. I was like whatever, And I'm riding
back on the sidewalk about there. It is. Yeah, there's

(30:22):
a group of about the three kids in front of me,
and I'm coming up behind him, and so I do
I just go around him, you know, I hit the grass,
go around him, keep driving. And as I'm pedaling up
to this old guy with earbuds and I could see
I got my headphones on. I got these headphones on.
Actually I'm listening to music. And I could see him.
He's waving his hands and his face is angry. It

(30:43):
is angry, and he's waving. Why I chose to stop,
I don't know. It should have just kept kept going.
But he clearly saw me go around these teenagers. And
I go up to him and I take one little
headphone off, and he immediately starts yell. He goes, you
are a vehicle. You need to be in the street.
You are not allowed to ride your bike on the sidewalk.

(31:05):
You need to move over to the street. By the way,
this is like a two lane, very busy street. I
didn't have a helmet on or anything, but that's not
an excuse. I wouldn't have gone into the street anyway.
And he starts yelling at me, and I just told
him to fuck off. Whoa I told, how'd you say it? Yeah,
I said, oh, fuck off, put my headphones back in.

(31:26):
I heard him say hey, asshole. And as I was leaving,
I told him to go fuck himself.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
And yeah, yeah, I don't yeah, I don't let that
slip out to anybody really characteristic. It felt. It felt
kind of good. Yeah, I got a little steam off.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Wow. Uh, yeah, you're wrong.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
Man.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Now, look as as.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
A a couple questions, first, these kids that you went
around that sparked this old person to yell you where
they're wearing. Were they wearing capes of any sort? Because
this is I.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Think one of them had something on that was kind
of close to a cape, to be honest.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Number number two, As a driver, I do get nervous
because some of these bikers will veer pretty far left
out of the bike lane to where I'm like, my
side mirror is just gonna clip this guy.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Well, first off, there is no bike lane where that
street is. And as a driver myself, I always fucking
hate having to go around bikers. It's always very nerve
wracking and you always got to kind of swerve into
the other lane. And I just as a driver, hate
fucking having to deal with bikers, and so like, I
never take the street when I'm on my bike. I

(32:44):
always just go sidewalk.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
I think kids can take sidewalks, but yeah, an adult,
I mean, look, I've seen you bike too. You're like
a full speed guy, like you're you just you You're
a just time. I've seen the go pro footage.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, I go pro all my rides, So.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I uh, yeah, I understand what he's talking about. But
you know, I got it is weird that he had
to stop you and yell at you. It sound like
he wanted to get some steam off as well.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Look like it.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
But man, you must have really got under his skin
when you fought back.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I did.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Oh yeah, So dang, dude, you're taking the bike. That's good,
and I.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Will not be taking it onto the street either. I'm
going to be maintaining the sidewalk.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
He's gonna like he's gonna put booby traps like strips.
I mean, if I was him, I was like, this
never happening again.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Guy, I don't care what you say. Check he checked
next door.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
If you complained about you, No, he should go next door.
There's probably a few posts about you. I think I
saw a couple of them. Yeah yeah, right, but yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
You know it.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Uh, he's probably just protecting those those kids. They needed
his protection and they got it.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah yeah, yeah. What would those fifteen year olds have
done if.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, I don't know, I don't fifteen year olds terrified?

Speaker 4 (34:09):
They were fifteen year olds, yeah they were yeah, oh jesus.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Seven eight year old? Yeah, these are young. These are teenagers.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah, okay, whatever did Yeah, teenagers they don't count.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
They're fine, They're they're kids to me.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah anyway, okay, Well, I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad
everyone's okay. Everybody's safe.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah, I got some steam off. He got some steam off.
I didn't run over the kids. Everyone's good.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, you guys, you guys just let each other release
a little steam.

Speaker 2 (34:40):

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah, you were cathartic for each.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
It's very nice. Yeah, so everybody, everybody won.

Speaker 2 (34:48):

Speaker 2 (37:46):
The dude, the.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
Dude who won the Cape Night was Gandolf the Gay.
That's how he introduced himself. This is a big, huge
gay dude. But yes, staff and everything, and he was
wearing one of Nana's moomoos in a wizard high.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Was he a Tano boy?

Speaker 3 (38:02):

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Bro Don Powell says, I hate being a nerd.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
F it.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
No, I don't. Matt, big fan, jeez ball enthusiast. You
said quote another Marvel hero and then brought up the
first Marvel hero of the conversation. Batman and Superman are
DC heroes. So when you said, oh, here's another Marvel hero.
And you brought up doctor Strange. Gtfo Man. I may
have filled in some of those blanks, but yeah. And
then Mike jan Nilsen says Doctor Strange doesn't have a cape.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
It's called the cloak of livitation.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
I thought you called yourself a.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
That's some really good nerding, you guys. That's really good nerding.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
This is I thought I was a nerd.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah, I need some really nice guidance from the real wall.

Speaker 5 (38:48):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
You guys should be on Cruise to the Edge next
year March fourth through ninth, twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
I want to hear from them what Pete cape is
because I feel like they got a couplet up their sleep. Well, yeah,
they told us doctor Strange cloak and exactly right. Let's
see here.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Stuart J. Moore says, as a former DC Metro commuter,
Chris do it. Sorry, Oh Gary, the doors break all
the time. Just be glad it wasn't a hot car
where the ac is broken. Oh nice?

Speaker 5 (39:25):
All right?

Speaker 4 (39:25):
So yeah, but they don't always break because someone sticks
his skateboard in it.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
And.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
That's very embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
He all.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
And then David Broce Howers Smith six 's nine says,
this guy gets the guy who works at seven eleven's MySpace,
but not the date in this trip diary. Chris, do
you even journal? Bro Oh funny because I don't write
the dates on my journal. I just wrote it, but
I did have the guy's HD his MySpace address Willard

(39:58):
for twenty. That's funny. But thanks David, glad you're liking
the bust and makes me feel good. And then he says, Dawson,
I'm gonna need to go ahead. I'm going to go
ahead and need you to explain the connection between no filters,
wildfires and chemicals getting in you when you're smoking a cigarette.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Thank you in advance, it's a joke.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
They good, David, But thank you for subscribing to Patreon, buddy.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
And then I was thinking.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Of smoking today actually because I went to a farmer's
market earlier this week and they had roasted peanuts in
the shell, and I thought, I'm gonna get me some
roasted roasted pea nuts in the shell. And I've been
eating them all week and they are leaving just a
mess of just shell remnant because when you crack them,

(40:54):
it's like Lebron James doing his little chalk thing before
the game. It's just like it's just a plume of
peanut pieces that just go everywhere to where. Now I
have to get the handheld vacuum after I'm done my peanuts.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
And just now are you?

Speaker 4 (41:08):
Are you a suck the salt off the shell and
then break it open or you just break it open.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
I'm a sucker, break it open, eat it, and then
suck the salt.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
I do it all from the This is from the
farmer's market, so they just got unsalted. They're just freshly roasted.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Baseball game. Man, I'll just toss those things in.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
I suck, I eat, and then I suck some more
and then I and then my mouth has like sores.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
All over it by the end of it. But whatever
been there.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Yeah, Kilan knows.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Got one right now.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
See you always have one. Man.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
It's on my tongue and it hurts the talks right there.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
And yes, it's it's acid.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Man.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
I can only I love I love having just like
lemon in my water, as you know. And I can
only have one a day otherwise they pop up. So
I need to time out. When I'm gonna put my
one lemon in my water throughout the day.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
You gotta see you really have to use use it wisely.
But anyway, I feel like so when I was vacuuming
up every time I've been eating peanuts this week, I'm like, oh,
it's like when smokers would have to like freshen the
air or like clean clean up after themselves, are like
throw them in, Like there's a ritual now between my addiction,
my and uh and what after thatwards? Yeah, smokers did

(42:28):
stuff like that. I don't know. You smoke, didn't You
never did that though?

Speaker 5 (42:34):
What was it again?

Speaker 3 (42:35):
I don't know if I ever did it?

Speaker 1 (42:36):
If like if after you smoke, you like, you know,
hit hit a little air freshener in the area or no,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
I've never seen a smoker do that.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
That doesn't happen. Breeze my car every now and then.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Oh yeah, I guess that counts clean.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Are you play a little colone on you? Maybe when
you're trying to hide that you were smoking. Maybe That's
what I'm thinking of. Let's see. Peter Morrow says completely
ran it. But I was watching Food Networks Tournament of
Champions six with my wife and the battle protein was
lobster one of the chefs kept talking about the claw meat,
and I kept hearing it in Gary's voice. I don't
think I have that drop.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Paul.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
Yeah, anyway, miss Gary, I know I missed you too, buddy.
All right, well, I think those are enough comments for today.
Just because we got to get going with the Patreon.

lack of staff, but we'll be all right, We're gonna
get through it. So why don't we go around the horn,

as like, oh, we can't get guests normally we take
the week off. We're like, all right, well, let's just
do this instead. And we had so much fun the
first time that we are now saying, Okay, we're doing
