Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh yeah, and it's ready eight forty whas Dwight Whitning,
John Howden, Daniel Bligh, Austin Montgomery from WMZ hanging out
here at Southern Comfort hot tub where the spring sail
is in full of fact. But you gotta come down
today or tomorrow at least start talking to them. Here's
why they're getting rid of all the twenty twenty fours
(00:22):
on this spring cell. It's probably the biggest sell they
do all year. They've got hot tubs marked down thousands,
literally thousands of dollars. Also, swim spots, you swim all
year round, you got sunas people are doing the cold plunge.
I'm looking at a cold plunge right now in this
code plunge. It could be a cold plunge in the
morning that you hit a dial and it's your hot
tub later that night. I'm also looking at another one
(00:44):
right now that is dual. One half of it is
a hot tub, one half of it is a cold plunge.
What's the ticket on this only one hundred and nine
dollars a month. You're gonna love your cell to cover
hot tub and today and tomorrow only start talking them
to him today or tomorrow because when you pull the
trigger on it, on this particular cell, they're gonna gift
(01:05):
you up to sixteen hundred dollars in accessories to go
on with your hot tub or your hot tub slash coat, plunge,
whatever it might be. Uh, we use ours just about
every night. You're gonna love your Southern comfort hot tub. Uh.
The reason we played that is, and let's not get
into specifics on which restaurant. Daniel Bli, our engineer, you
(01:26):
were telling me that you went to a sushi joint
and it's uh was it twenty bucks and all you
can eat?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, it's twenty bucks all you can eat.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It's called Sumo.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's off I think four Street near Churchill Downs.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It's a great restaurant. I went there there to day
and you can literally.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Just tell me you want this kind of role. You
want this role. You want some soup and you want to.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But you said, okay, but here's the kicker and this way,
and I like this by the way, because I'll like,
I'll go to a We rarely go to buffets, but
when we used to, especially whatever refroider reason, Chinese buffets
or people will get all this food, they'll keep it
and then we'll get another plate. Then ultimately, without question,
most people always lose. They leave like a big gigantic
(02:08):
plate of food there every time. So you sit on
the sushi joint. If you leave food, then you get charged.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, per pound.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I think that's fair. That's pretty different.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I Nurse City four.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Let me ask you this question. And then, by the way,
I'm gonna get into uh. By the way, Greg Warren
Comedian is going to join us. He's got a brand
new special that drops today. As a matter of fact,
we'll talk to him and we'll also be doing this
Day in History. But I gotta ask you a question.
When you go John Auden, Austin Montgomery, I want you
to chime in on this too. When you go to
(02:41):
a Chinese restaurant, are you one of the people that says,
you know what, I got to use chopsticks?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
No, I couldn't tell you if I've ever been to
a Chinese restaurant for my own.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well, whoa stop hold on you? You never do a
Chinese buffet?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
What do you what?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
They're great? Man? You get fried rise, you can get
you know, all these these Asian dishes.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Dwight, You remember the old Eastern House on Dixieiway, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But here's the thing about these Chinese buffets. You get
all the Asian food and all at the very end
they got like fish sticks and pizza. Yeah, so they
got something. Then they have ice cream. They had the
ice cream ice mean ice cream machine. Never really pans
out for me at these Chinese uh buffets.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But so you've never been to a buffet, John, not
any of the any of the Chinese buffet.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I've picked it up for my wife before, but I'm
not a big Asian food lover.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We just got commonists or something. Who does Who doesn't
go to the Chinese buffet?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Sea General So's Chickens, Low Maine.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So my wan.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Fun fact, my wife has a text chain called the
crab ring Goon Goons.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I means just the crab rag Goons.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yes, the crab Raggoons.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Okay, I don't. I don't use chop sticks and this
is my wife.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I'll only use them if I'm eating sushi and if we're.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
A white sushi with them. Man, you know they've invented
the fork rights, right, That's what I go with. Yeah,
you grab it by your hand, you dunk it in
your own soy sauce or with sabby or mixed or
whatever you can do that to throw did you eat
a part of the sushi to throw the whole damn
thing in your Yeah? I throw the whole thing in right.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But we used to see people go to the Chinese joint.
They're using chopsticks for their noodles and the rice, and
I'm like, I want to walk over and go, hey,
did you notice we've invented the fork in the spoon and.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You eat it grain by grain, But you don't.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You don't use them, like you don't go home and
say let's get some spaghetti, honey, you get the chopsticks out.
So why are you doing it at the Chinese joint?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That's a good point. Well, I went to the Korean
barbecue last week and I was always it was uh
No's top one. That's what I'm talking about getting Oh yeah,
go go, yes, yes, yes. But I asked my fiance
the same thing. I'm like, are they not going to
bring out like forks or whatnot? And I don't know
what that's disrespectful to ask for them because if they
out chop sticks, I'm gonna eat it. But I was
(05:01):
the exact same way as you when we went out
to go eat you know, Chinese? Right now, Why can't
we just use a fork? I don't know. I guess
somewhere down the line, I'm morphed into knowing how to
use chopsticks. And every time I asked for it, if
she doesn't think that it's elegant, so I gotta make
her happy somehow.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I think that might be. That might be that, John
audit is that the first time the word elegant has
ever been used on this show?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Maybe? Yeah? So this is wait, I just broke ground.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Can you Mark? Can you work that down for it? Okay,
let's do this day in history. Lots of stuff happened
on this day in history, May sixteenth, Oh, John On,
it always quick on. Let's use that. I sprung it
on the guy. Yeah, I just spring it on the.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Guy and he go to a Chinese restaurant. Next.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It was today all the way back in eighteen sixty eight.
That's when President Andrew Johnson was acquitted during a set
of impeachment by one vote. His impeachment was as an
unprecedented situation. Various political disagreements over reconstruction policy in the
wake of the Civil War. In the end of thirty
(06:09):
five out of fifty four senators found Johnson guilty of
high crime misdemeanors, but they didn't have all the votes
to get there. Ten days later, after two articles of
impeachment went down in defeat as well. So they kept
trying and kept trying. It was today, nineteen twenty nine.
(06:30):
May sixteenth, nineteen twenty nine. This is when the first
Academy Awards were presented. And Academy Awards. If you're listening,
and I know you're not, pay attention to this, especially
the end ready for this. Douglas Fairbanks hosted the first
Academy Awards. During the total of the show, there was
(06:54):
twelve awards given out for the entire presentation. The entire
event took five minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Usually the Academy Awards, there's like a pre show. It's
like a ten hour ordeal, right, Hey, best okay, let's
see who got best guy standing next to the table, frank,
you know. But anyway, the entire event only lasted for
five minutes. It was today May sixteenth, nineteen thirty nine.
(07:27):
A new plan was tested in Rochester, New York. It
provided food aid to fourteen thousand families. Here's what it was.
A number of foods were designated in surplus to be
provided to families with a blue stamp or blue stamps
issued by the government in hopes that would help distribute
surpluses of food to those that were hungry in the
(07:50):
Great Depression. My uncles and my fathers told me about
this as a matter of fact, and they lived through it,
but they said they wouldn't have survived without this. The
idea of the plan worked and it became the New
Deal program nice. So that's where that came from. In
nineteenth green New Deal. No, not that green New Deal,
(08:11):
just the New Deal baby. And today May sixteenth, nineteen
eighty eight, that's when a report released by Surgeon General
see Everett Coop. He had that big funny beard. He
declared that nicotine was addictive to similar ways as heroin
and cocaine is.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And let me tell you, man, I got the nicotine
in right now.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I've been well, I've been nicotine free for five years
and graduately well, I started with well, hang on, it's
been a roughy road since thirteen years old. I've been
on one form of nicotine or the other, and I
got to tell you I miss it every single day,
and there's you know, I quit and then all took
was one cigarette and right back or one dip and
(08:55):
I'm right back.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And here's what I'll tell you about nicotine. I've been
off it for five years and I still miss it
desperately every single day.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
When absolutely you get like with draws doesn't make you sick.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Sometimes I'll just have a hardcore craving for one, or
when we're leaving the studio, we'd love to do there's
certain people to be out there smoking. I'll walk through that.
It'll re engage me. And I miss it so much.
And it's been five five years. I was listening to
an interview with Slash from Guns n' Roses and they said, hey,
(09:28):
you know you've had heroin addiction, cocaine, all these drugs.
What what was your hardest addiction to kick and Slash said,
without a doubt, it was nicotine.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, that doesn't shock me.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
What if you think about it, you know, if you
go to the store, you know, and you say, hey,
give me ten dollars on pump five behind the guy
on the counter, it's not you know, big signs going
heroin and nicotine. It's nicotine, you know what I mean.
So I don't know, But anyway, it was tough for
me to kick and I guess I still haven't kicked
it all the way. It was also on this date,
same year, nineteen eight the US Supreme Court ruled the
(10:02):
police did not need a search warrant to search garbage.
I don't know if you want to go through my garbage.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
It's pretty gross. Some interesting stuff in there, it's pretty gross.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It was today this day in history. In nineteen ninety
sad day death claimed entertainer Sammy Davis Junior. Baby like
nobody gets that reference with me.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He was the one I love.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, okay he seven days. Junior died at the age
of sixty four in Los Angeles, California, on nineteen ninety
in this date. Also on the same date, Muppet creator
Jim Henson died in New York. He was only fifty three.
This is near, this is far, this is near. We
wouldn't have had Muppets with that right way. But Grover
(10:49):
Saysame Street. That wasn't Henson though, was it? Just imagine
that being a Muppet reference?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It was a day in twenty thirteen, it was revealed
that Angelina Joe Lee went underwent preventative surgery. What was it.
It was the preventative double mass sectomy. And here's why.
She learned that she had an eighty seven percent risk
of developing breast cancer due to a defective BRCA one
(11:16):
gene that she had. So she said, I'm not taking
any risk at all on this had a double masectomy done.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
In that way, she was risk free. Good, good for her.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It was a big story back then.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I remember that. Actually, you said, twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Twenty thirteen, yep, what a great year. Uh okay, one
last And I had forgotten to this at least maybe
I blocked it out of my memory because it was sickening.
It was today In two thousand and eighteen, May sixth,
twenty eighteen, Michigan State University agreed to pay five hundred
million dollars in claims to three hundred survivors of sexual abuse.
(11:50):
Oh yeah, involving that coach there, Larry Nasser. It was
the largest sexual abuse case in sports history. Yep, that
was a It was a mess man. And how what
year was the Patrino thing? Was it close?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Patina or Joe Paterno. Yeah, that was like two thousand
and nine.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Ten was somewhat reasonably closed.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, I don't know. It wasn't far off, wasn't far off.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
But anyway, that's this week or this day in history.
I will say I went a little bit further. I
did seventeen. What happened on this day in history on
seventeen and tomorrow? I forgot what year it was, but
the very first Kentucky Derby ran and I found odd
because it ran on the seventeenth of May, and obviously
(12:37):
that's not the first Saturday in May.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
What was one hundred and fifty one years ago? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
The man rain Man Joe seems like Daniel Bloberg definitely
eighteen thirty four.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Technically technically technically.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Uh, listen, I don't know why they changed it to
begin with HBO Max. Everyone. Look, you build a brand
like HBO. They were the first. They were above showtime everybody.
You know, even in the seventies, HBO was a thing, man. Uh.
But then they decided they're going to change their name
to Max.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Did they merge with Cinemax or something? Why Max?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I don't know, because for a long time it was
HBO Max, HBO Max and it just went to mass.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That was just went to Max. Well, but dently it
was a bad business decision because HBO Max streaming service
has decided to go from Max back to HBO. Uh
is a well, man, you're a flip flopper. You're you're
a you know what you are, You're a wishy, washy
flip flopper.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
But think about HBO. It's Coca Cola. I mean cop
Coca Cola did do that in the eighties. They had that.
They came out with new coke and everybody hated it.
Why you changing something doing to be changed?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Right? Well, I always got confused because we have we're
loyal HBO Max subscribers, and it's on my phone and
it's also on the uh the Roku TV. Every still
to this day, I want to type in HBO and
it doesn't lead it anywhere. You have the type of max.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
No idea. I did too, And I'll even see the
I'll see the tab on our screen it says Max.
I'll have to remind myself, well that's HBO.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, because you're not you're looking for HBO. You're not
looking for the Max.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You also reminds me of when Twitter went to x
Y that was because of Elon Musk, but there was
no reason to do that.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I feel like, well, here's the thing. You get old
stupid people like me, and I still call Twitter like
say like people, well, people go to the A t M.
The very first ATM I used was called the Quest.
It's called quest, so I still call. I still told
my wife, Hey, I go to the Quest machine and
(14:41):
get some money out. She said, will you talk about
quest machine just called at M? I said, no, honey,
I'm I'm a neanderthal. I don't evolve. You can call
it whatever you want. I'm calling it a question. I
like the Quest machine anyway. The HBO uh social media
announcing the the app. It's gonna be the same app
with a newish name, which is really.
Speaker 3 (15:00):

Listen, Southern covered hot tubs. They've been in business right
here in Louisville, Kentucky for over forty years, for decades.
They know what they're doing. They can answer every single question.
They're there for you if, by chance, you have any questions,
they're your resource. It's one stop shopping. Here's what you
don't want to do. You don't want to buy a
hot tub from an organization that's a fly by night organization.
(18:10):
They come into town for two days and then they're gone.
Then if you have questions, where do you go go
with a place that's been in the community for forty
years and not to mention, that's when they sell me
so hot tubs saunas, cold plunges, cold plunges. So when
you talk to somebody about one of these spots, you're
talking to somebody about a spa. They're not pulling somebody
(18:31):
over from lawn and garden or wherever you're the experts.
I want to particularly talk about this tub real quick,
because I absolutely love this. It's because Susan and I
did the cold plunge in Cabo and we're addicted to it.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
We started every morning with hot tub than cold plunge,
hot tub than cold plunch, and man, we felt great. Yeh.
You have a tub that you can use in the
morning as a cold plunge, get you going, get your
day moving, and then it can also be a hot
tub later that night. But this specific one, it's cold
plunge in.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
A hot time side by side, so two separate units
made in one unit. So it's got one cover, so
the one cover has two separate sides, so you fold
it over you can see it there kind of setting
in the cover lifter. Again that's included with the tub purchase,
and what that does helps you take the cover on
and off just by yourself. So if it was just you,
(19:23):
or if you wanted to get in with Susan, have
her take the cover off and you guys.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Jump in, it's just it's just uh.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
It's one ten plug and play.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, so technically this could even go inside.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Yeah, it runs off one, one, ten. You just plug
it in and it's digitally controlled. Off of that top
side there, you can control both sides, keep one side cold,
one side hot, and it filters.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's just one of them. But listen this particular one.
It's a code plunge on one side as a hot
tub on the other. But listen to this. It's plug
and play. You're ready to go, no electrical work needed.
But listen to this. It's one hundred and four dollars
a month. That it's it one hundred and four dollars
a month. Yeah, but that's just one of the many examples.
Swim spas, you have uh saunas, you have massage chairs that.

tomorrow where you can get these six up to sixteen
hundred dollars in accessories. If someone came in today or tomorrow

That's a little Greg Warren for you there, Greg Warren,
News Radio eight forty uhs. The new special It comes
out today. Baby, it's called the Champ. Let's bring him
in right now, Greg Warren, how you doing, man? Hey?
What's going on? Man? How's it going? Excited about this special?
Excited about the interview? I love that bid. I'm sorry
to eat up some of your time with it, but
(24:17):
I had to share it with the listeners because it's
absolutely hilarious. And you know something about sports too, because
you're an American All American wrestler right a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
That was my senior year at place seventh in the country.
And wow, this special talks a lot more about my
early years as a college wrestler, and they were less
successful and more humorous. In retrospect, it wasn't all. It
took some beatings.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Let's let's talk about the special tonight the champ. It's
talk about the It's it's gonna be on YouTube. But
let'sten talk about filming. Filming, Man, how stressful is when
you go and you say, hey, I'm want to film
the comedy special. You don't know? I mean, you're you're
literally up to the the task of the audience. If
(25:11):
you've got If you draw a bad audience, then you
might be screwed. Or do you do several dates in
a row to film the special?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Two shows one night, And to be honest, the first
audience the first show that night was a little They
were fine, but they I had to work to get them,
and I'd rather not work on my own specials, so
we used predominantly the second show. You know that the
first show that it got to be fun, but it
(25:38):
was a little bit of work the first ten minutes
and then you're all these things are going through your
head like I've done this, I've done this five hundred
times and it killed.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And now's the night when it's.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
Not gonna you know, like every doubt that you've ever
had starts going through your line.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Well well not to mention that, but also Greg uh,
you know, you go out, you finally win the audience over,
but it's not what you wanted to be. And now
you're probably obsessing, Hey, what about tomorrow night show? Is
it gonna be the same thing? And I always use
this as an example. One of the great comedy films ever,
in my opinion, is Richard Pryor Live on Live on
the Sunset Strip. Brilliant, brilliant piece of comedy. But the
(26:17):
first night he goes out, he absolutely bombs. And I
think he's the variety of saying. They say, Richard Pryor,
he's over, his career is done, and there's there was
nothing salvageable for it. But he goes out the next
night hits a home run. And that's what we have
right now for Live on the Sunset Strip by Richard Pryor.
Does it get in your head at all? Man, or
you just got to push through no matter what, Right, yeah,
(26:40):
I would say both.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
You got to push through no matter what.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Does he get in my head?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, I mean I'm a I don't know. Sometimes I
think I'm a maniac.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
So yeah, everything, I.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
Think everything gets in my head, which it shouldn't, but
it does.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
But yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Definitely. I think when you have some kind of creative
element in your life, it could dominate you. For example,
like you know, I do radio, you do comedy. Sometimes
you know, we'll get twenty five people comment positively on
a show, and I'll get one person go after me,
and I obsess over the one damn person and my
(27:21):
wife's like, what are you doing? Look at another twenty five.
But I want to talk about the beginnings of this
because from what I understand, this started in college. Well
I didn't, at least the bug did. The story I
get is you're attending college and then one night you
end up going to a show up or go up
type of a comedy deal. You get in a contest,
(27:45):
and then you win the damn contest. Is that when
you get hooked because of the audience reaction or what
hooked you on comedy? Man, Well, you know that's kind
of true. I didn't win this contest.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
But I was in college and I was wrestling, so
I had all this other stuff that I was really
focused on. But it was I had a ball that night,
but I couldn't really pursue it until after college. And
then after college I got I don't know, I was
just still a little bit lost, and I felt I
didn't feel comfortable like jumping into the insecurity of a.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Show business career.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
And yes, I kind of wish I would have maybe.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
I had some friends that did that, and you know,
that forces you in another set of decisions.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But I took a regular job and.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Worked there for ten years and just sort of did
it part time until I got better at it.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
What is it selling? Jeff Peanut Butter and Pringles? Is
that your job? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Jeff Peanut Butter, Pringles, Duncan Hines, Crisco, Polger's Coffee, all
the big.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Ones coming to. Greg Warren joins the show his new
comedy special, The Champ. It's out today free streaming on
YouTube and listen. I want to talk about your uh
your past a little bits too, because uh, well you
know what. Before we do that, can you share the
(29:08):
story of tricking Nikki Glass in a Starbucks restroom. Is
that something your colors laser?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, that I'm trying to think. That was a while back.
It was during COVID and uh.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Oh is it a Starbucks?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
And I think during during COVID at Starbucks, like you
weren't allowed to go in the bathroom, like you could
go there, but they did did the bathrooms right open
to the public, but they were there and the staff
was using them. So it's basically like you just sort
of go like like just going there. And I'd go
right to the bathroom before they said anything. I was
(29:46):
already in there. I'm like, too late, guys, you can't
you can't face you can't get me. So we go
to the bathroom and uh and Nikki's like, I got
a pee.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I'm like just go.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
She's like no, they're you're not supposed to.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I'm like, Nikki, just go.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Nobody's gonna say anything. Just act like you know what
you're doing. By the time they realize you're already be
in the.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Bathroom, that's just really I go, yeah, yeah, really.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
So she starts walking to the bathroom and she gets
like two steps in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I go ma'am, you're not supposed to go in there,
and and then the Starbucks store goes He's right, man,
you cannot Now we have mob wrong.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I didn't mean for the joke to work that well.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
Like I like.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
She was, she was pretty upset with.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Comedian Greg Warren joins the show. Don't miss his new
special Extreaming. It starts today the champ It's on YouTube.
Uh and listen for two decades, over over two decades,
you've been doing this. So you're great at what you do.
But you know, everybody has uh an interesting past, and
yours is really quite interesting. Because were you a cadet
(30:58):
at west Point? Uh?
Speaker 7 (31:02):
That's a I went to West Point and I was
a cadet at west Point for a year, one full
year year, and then I quit. So yeah, I there's
people that completed the program I did not.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Well.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
As I say, I get west Point doesn't seem like
they would be a fan of smart assery. And when
I think Greg Warren, I think smart assery. What's the
tough on you? Man? Did you do a lot of
push ups, a lot of marching in the rain or
what did you stay in trouble? Greg? Yeah, yeah, I
got in trouble.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
It's funny because the Army was it was very Yeah,
they didn't have uh they didn't tolerate much, especially from
plebes is what we were called.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But the Army does have a sense of humor.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
They're they're very it's that sort of gallows humor. But
that I mean, there's a lot of things things I
remember it funny. My favorite was, you know, you stand
in formation four times a day and you're there standing attention.
You're supposed to be looking forward, not looking around, looking forward, uh,
standing attention. And you know, every now and then my
(32:04):
eyes would wander around and I was looking at something
and this this upperclassman gets behind me, goes, are you
looking to buy this place?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Warren?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
One of my favorite things ever.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
But you know what, west Point man, it's tough to
a buddy of mine. He's retired Special Forces, a couple
of decades Special Forces. He was hand picked by generals
for missions, the whole bit. He tried to get his
kid in West Point. Uh couldn't do it. You know,
you got to get signed letters from senators to Congress.
Were your parents pissed, Congressman? Yeah, were your parents pissed?
(32:36):
When you when you leave West Point. My mother certainly
was not.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
She was very happy I left. My dad, I think
was a little disappointed, but still supportive. But I think
he was I think he thought, you know, I was
turning my back on some opportunities.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
But it all worked out, man, you know what, It
all worked out and and and that's a hard A
lot of people try to pay for place. Yeah, I mean,
Greg Warren joins our show. Uh. The Champ is the
name of his brand new comedy special, Uh. And it's
(33:13):

number one to kilas and enjoy a great comedy show. Greg, listen, man,

question as a comic. Sure, right now, this Sean P.

Diddy trial is starting to unravel. Will this summer just be?
Is it gonna be comedic go for guys like you?

don't talk of anything like that.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
It's Yeah, it's not at all.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, Yeah, I won't touch it.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
There's some comics and some friends of mine and some
guys that I think are hilarious that'll they'll skewer the
whole thing and uh and it'll be a gold mine.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
But yeah, I won't touch it. Yeah, I gotta That's
what I was gonna say. I got I gotta think
it's gonna be uh, it'd be risky to navigate those waters,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Yeah, it's just I mean, and you know, everybody does
their own form county.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
That stuff.
Speaker 7 (34:13):

There you go. Don't miss this special the Champ It's
airing right now, started today. I want to tell you
about grill Master's Supply. If you follow me on Facebook,
you know I love to cook, and you know I
love to cook outdoors. It's my favorite place. I will
(35:17):
tell you I bet ninety to ninety five percent of
the stuff that I eat it comes off my smoker
from grill Masters Supply. They're your resource. Maybe you've never
smoked anything in your life. They'll get you started on
They have grills, they have propane grills, they have all
the charcoal you need. It's where I get all of
my rubs, my Dano's, my meat church, my weather Bees
(35:38):
o weather Bee's rubbed. I use that twice a day
as a matter of fact, on my eggs in the garden.
At the go buy ten four zero eight Shelbyville Road
or check them out online at grillmasterssupply dot com. And
by the way, Father's Day is right around the corner.
Perfect gift all right? Oh? Is that it is gonna
(35:59):
be all right? John Alden. We are out the door
seventy five o one Presston Highway, cellar cover hot tub.
See him today or tomorrow, John Alden, thank you so much.
On vacation next week, so I will see you on
the twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Man, that's gonna be a while. Enjoy your time off.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Gonna be a while until then. On behalf of John
Alden and Tony venedis Dwight Witt and saying see you
on the twenty seventh. I love you, Ma,
Oh yeah, and it's ready eight forty whas Dwight Whitning,
John Howden, Daniel Bligh, Austin Montgomery from WMZ hanging out
here at Southern Comfort hot tub where the spring sail
is in full of fact. But you gotta come down
today or tomorrow at least start talking to them. Here's
why they're getting rid of all the twenty twenty fours
(00:22):
on this spring cell. It's probably the biggest sell they
do all year. They've got hot tubs marked down thousands,
literally thousands of dollars. Also, swim spots, you swim all
year round, you got sunas people are doing the cold plunge.
I'm looking at a cold plunge right now in this
code plunge. It could be a cold plunge in the
morning that you hit a dial and it's your hot
tub later that night. I'm also looking at another one
(00:44):
right now that is dual. One half of it is
a hot tub, one half of it is a cold plunge.
What's the ticket on this only one hundred and nine
dollars a month. You're gonna love your cell to cover
hot tub and today and tomorrow only start talking them
to him today or tomorrow because when you pull the
trigger on it, on this particular cell, they're gonna gift
(01:05):
you up to sixteen hundred dollars in accessories to go
on with your hot tub or your hot tub slash coat, plunge,
whatever it might be. Uh, we use ours just about
every night. You're gonna love your Southern comfort hot tub. Uh.
The reason we played that is, and let's not get
into specifics on which restaurant. Daniel Bli, our engineer, you
(01:26):
were telling me that you went to a sushi joint
and it's uh was it twenty bucks and all you
can eat?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, it's twenty bucks all you can eat.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It's called Sumo.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's off I think four Street near Churchill Downs.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It's a great restaurant. I went there there to day
and you can literally.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Just tell me you want this kind of role. You
want this role. You want some soup and you want to.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But you said, okay, but here's the kicker and this way,
and I like this by the way, because I'll like,
I'll go to a We rarely go to buffets, but
when we used to, especially whatever refroider reason, Chinese buffets
or people will get all this food, they'll keep it
and then we'll get another plate. Then ultimately, without question,
most people always lose. They leave like a big gigantic
(02:08):
plate of food there every time. So you sit on
the sushi joint. If you leave food, then you get charged.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, per pound.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I think that's fair. That's pretty different.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I Nurse City four.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Let me ask you this question. And then, by the way,
I'm gonna get into uh. By the way, Greg Warren
Comedian is going to join us. He's got a brand
new special that drops today. As a matter of fact,
we'll talk to him and we'll also be doing this
Day in History. But I gotta ask you a question.
When you go John Auden, Austin Montgomery, I want you
to chime in on this too. When you go to
(02:41):
a Chinese restaurant, are you one of the people that says,
you know what, I got to use chopsticks?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
No, I couldn't tell you if I've ever been to
a Chinese restaurant for my own.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well, whoa stop hold on you? You never do a
Chinese buffet?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
What do you what?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
They're great? Man? You get fried rise, you can get
you know, all these these Asian dishes.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Dwight, You remember the old Eastern House on Dixieiway, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But here's the thing about these Chinese buffets. You get
all the Asian food and all at the very end
they got like fish sticks and pizza. Yeah, so they
got something. Then they have ice cream. They had the
ice cream ice mean ice cream machine. Never really pans
out for me at these Chinese uh buffets.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But so you've never been to a buffet, John, not
any of the any of the Chinese buffet.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I've picked it up for my wife before, but I'm
not a big Asian food lover.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We just got commonists or something. Who does Who doesn't
go to the Chinese buffet?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Sea General So's Chickens, Low Maine.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So my wan.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Fun fact, my wife has a text chain called the
crab ring Goon Goons.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I means just the crab rag Goons.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yes, the crab Raggoons.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Okay, I don't. I don't use chop sticks and this
is my wife.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I'll only use them if I'm eating sushi and if we're.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
A white sushi with them. Man, you know they've invented
the fork rights, right, That's what I go with. Yeah,
you grab it by your hand, you dunk it in
your own soy sauce or with sabby or mixed or
whatever you can do that to throw did you eat
a part of the sushi to throw the whole damn
thing in your Yeah? I throw the whole thing in right.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But we used to see people go to the Chinese joint.
They're using chopsticks for their noodles and the rice, and
I'm like, I want to walk over and go, hey,
did you notice we've invented the fork in the spoon and.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You eat it grain by grain, But you don't.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You don't use them, like you don't go home and
say let's get some spaghetti, honey, you get the chopsticks out.
So why are you doing it at the Chinese joint?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That's a good point. Well, I went to the Korean
barbecue last week and I was always it was uh
No's top one. That's what I'm talking about getting Oh yeah,
go go, yes, yes, yes. But I asked my fiance
the same thing. I'm like, are they not going to
bring out like forks or whatnot? And I don't know
what that's disrespectful to ask for them because if they
out chop sticks, I'm gonna eat it. But I was
(05:01):
the exact same way as you when we went out
to go eat you know, Chinese? Right now, Why can't
we just use a fork? I don't know. I guess
somewhere down the line, I'm morphed into knowing how to
use chopsticks. And every time I asked for it, if
she doesn't think that it's elegant, so I gotta make
her happy somehow.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I think that might be. That might be that, John
audit is that the first time the word elegant has
ever been used on this show?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Maybe? Yeah? So this is wait, I just broke ground.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Can you Mark? Can you work that down for it? Okay,
let's do this day in history. Lots of stuff happened
on this day in history, May sixteenth, Oh, John On,
it always quick on. Let's use that. I sprung it
on the guy. Yeah, I just spring it on the.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Guy and he go to a Chinese restaurant. Next.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It was today all the way back in eighteen sixty eight.
That's when President Andrew Johnson was acquitted during a set
of impeachment by one vote. His impeachment was as an
unprecedented situation. Various political disagreements over reconstruction policy in the
wake of the Civil War. In the end of thirty
(06:09):
five out of fifty four senators found Johnson guilty of
high crime misdemeanors, but they didn't have all the votes
to get there. Ten days later, after two articles of
impeachment went down in defeat as well. So they kept
trying and kept trying. It was today, nineteen twenty nine.
(06:30):
May sixteenth, nineteen twenty nine. This is when the first
Academy Awards were presented. And Academy Awards. If you're listening,
and I know you're not, pay attention to this, especially
the end ready for this. Douglas Fairbanks hosted the first
Academy Awards. During the total of the show, there was
(06:54):
twelve awards given out for the entire presentation. The entire
event took five minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Usually the Academy Awards, there's like a pre show. It's
like a ten hour ordeal, right, Hey, best okay, let's
see who got best guy standing next to the table, frank,
you know. But anyway, the entire event only lasted for
five minutes. It was today May sixteenth, nineteen thirty nine.
(07:27):
A new plan was tested in Rochester, New York. It
provided food aid to fourteen thousand families. Here's what it was.
A number of foods were designated in surplus to be
provided to families with a blue stamp or blue stamps
issued by the government in hopes that would help distribute
surpluses of food to those that were hungry in the
(07:50):
Great Depression. My uncles and my fathers told me about
this as a matter of fact, and they lived through it,
but they said they wouldn't have survived without this. The
idea of the plan worked and it became the New
Deal program nice. So that's where that came from. In
nineteenth green New Deal. No, not that green New Deal,
(08:11):
just the New Deal baby. And today May sixteenth, nineteen
eighty eight, that's when a report released by Surgeon General
see Everett Coop. He had that big funny beard. He
declared that nicotine was addictive to similar ways as heroin
and cocaine is.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And let me tell you, man, I got the nicotine
in right now.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I've been well, I've been nicotine free for five years
and graduately well, I started with well, hang on, it's
been a roughy road since thirteen years old. I've been
on one form of nicotine or the other, and I
got to tell you I miss it every single day,
and there's you know, I quit and then all took
was one cigarette and right back or one dip and
(08:55):
I'm right back.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And here's what I'll tell you about nicotine. I've been
off it for five years and I still miss it
desperately every single day.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
When absolutely you get like with draws doesn't make you sick.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Sometimes I'll just have a hardcore craving for one, or
when we're leaving the studio, we'd love to do there's
certain people to be out there smoking. I'll walk through that.
It'll re engage me. And I miss it so much.
And it's been five five years. I was listening to
an interview with Slash from Guns n' Roses and they said, hey,
(09:28):
you know you've had heroin addiction, cocaine, all these drugs.
What what was your hardest addiction to kick and Slash said,
without a doubt, it was nicotine.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, that doesn't shock me.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
What if you think about it, you know, if you
go to the store, you know, and you say, hey,
give me ten dollars on pump five behind the guy
on the counter, it's not you know, big signs going
heroin and nicotine. It's nicotine, you know what I mean.
So I don't know, But anyway, it was tough for
me to kick and I guess I still haven't kicked
it all the way. It was also on this date,
same year, nineteen eight the US Supreme Court ruled the
(10:02):
police did not need a search warrant to search garbage.
I don't know if you want to go through my garbage.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
It's pretty gross. Some interesting stuff in there, it's pretty gross.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It was today this day in history. In nineteen ninety
sad day death claimed entertainer Sammy Davis Junior. Baby like
nobody gets that reference with me.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He was the one I love.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, okay he seven days. Junior died at the age
of sixty four in Los Angeles, California, on nineteen ninety
in this date. Also on the same date, Muppet creator
Jim Henson died in New York. He was only fifty three.
This is near, this is far, this is near. We
wouldn't have had Muppets with that right way. But Grover
(10:49):
Saysame Street. That wasn't Henson though, was it? Just imagine
that being a Muppet reference?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It was a day in twenty thirteen, it was revealed
that Angelina Joe Lee went underwent preventative surgery. What was it.
It was the preventative double mass sectomy. And here's why.
She learned that she had an eighty seven percent risk
of developing breast cancer due to a defective BRCA one
(11:16):
gene that she had. So she said, I'm not taking
any risk at all on this had a double masectomy done.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
In that way, she was risk free. Good, good for her.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It was a big story back then.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I remember that. Actually, you said, twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Twenty thirteen, yep, what a great year. Uh okay, one
last And I had forgotten to this at least maybe
I blocked it out of my memory because it was sickening.
It was today In two thousand and eighteen, May sixth,
twenty eighteen, Michigan State University agreed to pay five hundred
million dollars in claims to three hundred survivors of sexual abuse.
(11:50):
Oh yeah, involving that coach there, Larry Nasser. It was
the largest sexual abuse case in sports history. Yep, that
was a It was a mess man. And how what
year was the Patrino thing? Was it close?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Patina or Joe Paterno. Yeah, that was like two thousand
and nine.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Ten was somewhat reasonably closed.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, I don't know. It wasn't far off, wasn't far off.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
But anyway, that's this week or this day in history.
I will say I went a little bit further. I
did seventeen. What happened on this day in history on
seventeen and tomorrow? I forgot what year it was, but
the very first Kentucky Derby ran and I found odd
because it ran on the seventeenth of May, and obviously
(12:37):
that's not the first Saturday in May.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
What was one hundred and fifty one years ago? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
The man rain Man Joe seems like Daniel Bloberg definitely
eighteen thirty four.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Technically technically technically.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Uh, listen, I don't know why they changed it to
begin with HBO Max. Everyone. Look, you build a brand
like HBO. They were the first. They were above showtime everybody.
You know, even in the seventies, HBO was a thing, man. Uh.
But then they decided they're going to change their name
to Max.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Did they merge with Cinemax or something? Why Max?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I don't know, because for a long time it was
HBO Max, HBO Max and it just went to mass.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That was just went to Max. Well, but dently it
was a bad business decision because HBO Max streaming service
has decided to go from Max back to HBO. Uh
is a well, man, you're a flip flopper. You're you're
a you know what you are, You're a wishy, washy
flip flopper.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
But think about HBO. It's Coca Cola. I mean cop
Coca Cola did do that in the eighties. They had that.
They came out with new coke and everybody hated it.
Why you changing something doing to be changed?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Right? Well, I always got confused because we have we're
loyal HBO Max subscribers, and it's on my phone and
it's also on the uh the Roku TV. Every still
to this day, I want to type in HBO and
it doesn't lead it anywhere. You have the type of max.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
No idea. I did too, And I'll even see the
I'll see the tab on our screen it says Max.
I'll have to remind myself, well that's HBO.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, because you're not you're looking for HBO. You're not
looking for the Max.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You also reminds me of when Twitter went to x
Y that was because of Elon Musk, but there was
no reason to do that.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I feel like, well, here's the thing. You get old
stupid people like me, and I still call Twitter like
say like people, well, people go to the A t M.
The very first ATM I used was called the Quest.
It's called quest, so I still call. I still told
my wife, Hey, I go to the Quest machine and
(14:41):
get some money out. She said, will you talk about
quest machine just called at M? I said, no, honey,
I'm I'm a neanderthal. I don't evolve. You can call
it whatever you want. I'm calling it a question. I
like the Quest machine anyway. The HBO uh social media
announcing the the app. It's gonna be the same app
with a newish name, which is really.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The old name, all right.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Should have changed, should have changed in the beginning with

Dinners that what this is. It is TV Dinner's Easy
Time News Ready to eight forty ooh whas. I'm at

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Listen, Southern covered hot tubs. They've been in business right
here in Louisville, Kentucky for over forty years, for decades.
They know what they're doing. They can answer every single question.
They're there for you if, by chance, you have any questions,
they're your resource. It's one stop shopping. Here's what you
don't want to do. You don't want to buy a
hot tub from an organization that's a fly by night organization.
(18:10):
They come into town for two days and then they're gone.
Then if you have questions, where do you go go
with a place that's been in the community for forty
years and not to mention, that's when they sell me
so hot tubs saunas, cold plunges, cold plunges. So when
you talk to somebody about one of these spots, you're
talking to somebody about a spa. They're not pulling somebody
(18:31):
over from lawn and garden or wherever you're the experts.
I want to particularly talk about this tub real quick,
because I absolutely love this. It's because Susan and I
did the cold plunge in Cabo and we're addicted to it.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
We started every morning with hot tub than cold plunge,
hot tub than cold plunch, and man, we felt great. Yeh.
You have a tub that you can use in the
morning as a cold plunge, get you going, get your
day moving, and then it can also be a hot
tub later that night. But this specific one, it's cold
plunge in.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
A hot time side by side, so two separate units
made in one unit. So it's got one cover, so
the one cover has two separate sides, so you fold
it over you can see it there kind of setting
in the cover lifter. Again that's included with the tub purchase,
and what that does helps you take the cover on
and off just by yourself. So if it was just you,
(19:23):
or if you wanted to get in with Susan, have
her take the cover off and you guys.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Jump in, it's just it's just uh.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
It's one ten plug and play.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, so technically this could even go inside.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Yeah, it runs off one, one, ten. You just plug
it in and it's digitally controlled. Off of that top
side there, you can control both sides, keep one side cold,
one side hot, and it filters.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's just one of them. But listen this particular one.
It's a code plunge on one side as a hot
tub on the other. But listen to this. It's plug
and play. You're ready to go, no electrical work needed.
But listen to this. It's one hundred and four dollars
a month. That it's it one hundred and four dollars
a month. Yeah, but that's just one of the many examples.
Swim spas, you have uh saunas, you have massage chairs that.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
You absolutely patio furniture that Dwight just got right.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And I love it. I love it, I love it.

We made it easy, all right. So it's today and
tomorrow where you can get these six up to sixteen
hundred dollars in accessories. If someone came in today or tomorrow
and talk to you and then eventually bought it next week,
could they still get that deal or not.
Speaker 5 (20:32):

mentioned your name. Just know that we charge doubles, so
Dwhite just say you heard from a friend somewhere that

Speaker 1 (23:55):
That's a little Greg Warren for you there, Greg Warren,
News Radio eight forty uhs. The new special It comes
out today. Baby, it's called the Champ. Let's bring him
in right now, Greg Warren, how you doing, man? Hey?
What's going on? Man? How's it going? Excited about this special?
Excited about the interview? I love that bid. I'm sorry
to eat up some of your time with it, but
(24:17):
I had to share it with the listeners because it's
absolutely hilarious. And you know something about sports too, because
you're an American All American wrestler right a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
That was my senior year at place seventh in the country.
And wow, this special talks a lot more about my
early years as a college wrestler, and they were less
successful and more humorous. In retrospect, it wasn't all. It
took some beatings.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Let's let's talk about the special tonight the champ. It's
talk about the It's it's gonna be on YouTube. But
let'sten talk about filming. Filming, Man, how stressful is when
you go and you say, hey, I'm want to film
the comedy special. You don't know? I mean, you're you're
literally up to the the task of the audience. If
(25:11):
you've got If you draw a bad audience, then you
might be screwed. Or do you do several dates in
a row to film the special?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Two shows one night, And to be honest, the first
audience the first show that night was a little They
were fine, but they I had to work to get them,
and I'd rather not work on my own specials, so
we used predominantly the second show. You know that the
first show that it got to be fun, but it
(25:38):
was a little bit of work the first ten minutes
and then you're all these things are going through your
head like I've done this, I've done this five hundred
times and it killed.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And now's the night when it's.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
Not gonna you know, like every doubt that you've ever
had starts going through your line.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Well well not to mention that, but also Greg uh,
you know, you go out, you finally win the audience over,
but it's not what you wanted to be. And now
you're probably obsessing, Hey, what about tomorrow night show? Is
it gonna be the same thing? And I always use
this as an example. One of the great comedy films ever,
in my opinion, is Richard Pryor Live on Live on
the Sunset Strip. Brilliant, brilliant piece of comedy. But the
(26:17):
first night he goes out, he absolutely bombs. And I
think he's the variety of saying. They say, Richard Pryor,
he's over, his career is done, and there's there was
nothing salvageable for it. But he goes out the next
night hits a home run. And that's what we have
right now for Live on the Sunset Strip by Richard Pryor.
Does it get in your head at all? Man, or
you just got to push through no matter what, Right, yeah,
(26:40):
I would say both.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
You got to push through no matter what.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Does he get in my head?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, I mean I'm a I don't know. Sometimes I
think I'm a maniac.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
So yeah, everything, I.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
Think everything gets in my head, which it shouldn't, but
it does.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
But yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Definitely. I think when you have some kind of creative
element in your life, it could dominate you. For example,
like you know, I do radio, you do comedy. Sometimes
you know, we'll get twenty five people comment positively on
a show, and I'll get one person go after me,
and I obsess over the one damn person and my
(27:21):
wife's like, what are you doing? Look at another twenty five.
But I want to talk about the beginnings of this
because from what I understand, this started in college. Well
I didn't, at least the bug did. The story I
get is you're attending college and then one night you
end up going to a show up or go up
type of a comedy deal. You get in a contest,
(27:45):
and then you win the damn contest. Is that when
you get hooked because of the audience reaction or what
hooked you on comedy? Man, Well, you know that's kind
of true. I didn't win this contest.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
But I was in college and I was wrestling, so
I had all this other stuff that I was really
focused on. But it was I had a ball that night,
but I couldn't really pursue it until after college. And
then after college I got I don't know, I was
just still a little bit lost, and I felt I
didn't feel comfortable like jumping into the insecurity of a.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Show business career.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
And yes, I kind of wish I would have maybe.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
I had some friends that did that, and you know,
that forces you in another set of decisions.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But I took a regular job and.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Worked there for ten years and just sort of did
it part time until I got better at it.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
What is it selling? Jeff Peanut Butter and Pringles? Is
that your job? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Jeff Peanut Butter, Pringles, Duncan Hines, Crisco, Polger's Coffee, all
the big.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Ones coming to. Greg Warren joins the show his new
comedy special, The Champ. It's out today free streaming on
YouTube and listen. I want to talk about your uh
your past a little bits too, because uh, well you
know what. Before we do that, can you share the
(29:08):
story of tricking Nikki Glass in a Starbucks restroom. Is
that something your colors laser?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, that I'm trying to think. That was a while back.
It was during COVID and uh.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Oh is it a Starbucks?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
And I think during during COVID at Starbucks, like you
weren't allowed to go in the bathroom, like you could
go there, but they did did the bathrooms right open
to the public, but they were there and the staff
was using them. So it's basically like you just sort
of go like like just going there. And I'd go
right to the bathroom before they said anything. I was
(29:46):
already in there. I'm like, too late, guys, you can't
you can't face you can't get me. So we go
to the bathroom and uh and Nikki's like, I got
a pee.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I'm like just go.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
She's like no, they're you're not supposed to.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I'm like, Nikki, just go.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Nobody's gonna say anything. Just act like you know what
you're doing. By the time they realize you're already be
in the.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Bathroom, that's just really I go, yeah, yeah, really.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
So she starts walking to the bathroom and she gets
like two steps in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I go ma'am, you're not supposed to go in there,
and and then the Starbucks store goes He's right, man,
you cannot Now we have mob wrong.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I didn't mean for the joke to work that well.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
Like I like.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
She was, she was pretty upset with.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Comedian Greg Warren joins the show. Don't miss his new
special Extreaming. It starts today the champ It's on YouTube.
Uh and listen for two decades, over over two decades,
you've been doing this. So you're great at what you do.
But you know, everybody has uh an interesting past, and
yours is really quite interesting. Because were you a cadet
(30:58):
at west Point? Uh?
Speaker 7 (31:02):
That's a I went to West Point and I was
a cadet at west Point for a year, one full
year year, and then I quit. So yeah, I there's
people that completed the program I did not.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Well.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
As I say, I get west Point doesn't seem like
they would be a fan of smart assery. And when
I think Greg Warren, I think smart assery. What's the
tough on you? Man? Did you do a lot of
push ups, a lot of marching in the rain or
what did you stay in trouble? Greg? Yeah, yeah, I
got in trouble.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
It's funny because the Army was it was very Yeah,
they didn't have uh they didn't tolerate much, especially from
plebes is what we were called.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
But the Army does have a sense of humor.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
They're they're very it's that sort of gallows humor. But
that I mean, there's a lot of things things I
remember it funny. My favorite was, you know, you stand
in formation four times a day and you're there standing attention.
You're supposed to be looking forward, not looking around, looking forward, uh,
standing attention. And you know, every now and then my
(32:04):
eyes would wander around and I was looking at something
and this this upperclassman gets behind me, goes, are you
looking to buy this place?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Warren?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
One of my favorite things ever.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
But you know what, west Point man, it's tough to
a buddy of mine. He's retired Special Forces, a couple
of decades Special Forces. He was hand picked by generals
for missions, the whole bit. He tried to get his
kid in West Point. Uh couldn't do it. You know,
you got to get signed letters from senators to Congress.
Were your parents pissed, Congressman? Yeah, were your parents pissed?
(32:36):
When you when you leave West Point. My mother certainly
was not.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
She was very happy I left. My dad, I think
was a little disappointed, but still supportive. But I think
he was I think he thought, you know, I was
turning my back on some opportunities.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
But it all worked out, man, you know what, It
all worked out and and and that's a hard A
lot of people try to pay for place. Yeah, I mean,
Greg Warren joins our show. Uh. The Champ is the
name of his brand new comedy special, Uh. And it's
(33:13):
on YouTube. It launched today. Make sure you take advantage
of it. It's a rainy, rainy night here in Louisville, Kentucky.
So let's if you ask me, grab a couple of
number one to kilas and enjoy a great comedy show. Greg, listen, man,
I appreciate the time. Let me ask you one more
question as a comic. Sure, right now, this Sean P.
(33:34):
Diddy trial is starting to unravel. Will this summer just be?
Is it gonna be comedic go for guys like you?
Or is a savor say away from it? Yeah? I
mean you won't touch it. I have I won't. I
don't talk of anything like that.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
It's Yeah, it's not at all.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, Yeah, I won't touch it.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
There's some comics and some friends of mine and some
guys that I think are hilarious that'll they'll skewer the
whole thing and uh and it'll be a gold mine.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
But yeah, I won't touch it. Yeah, I gotta That's
what I was gonna say. I got I gotta think
it's gonna be uh, it'd be risky to navigate those waters,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Yeah, it's just I mean, and you know, everybody does
their own form county.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
That stuff.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
That's just such such horrible things that happened.
