6.18: Attorney Christine Miller on Judges & Accountability, Comedian Jamie Lissow, and a Leaf Blower

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, Welcome back News Radio eight forty whas the Tony
and Dwight Chill brought to by the Kentucky Office of
Highway Safety. Please buckle up and put the phone down.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Bucket, let's put the phone down.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Baby bats Meller time, Baby Christine Miller is in the house,
and you're working on something I think would be a
daunting task and if you ask me, would be impossible.
But you sit here, I am I'm gonna do it.
I'm talking about transparency when it comes to the judges.
It's no big secret to the Hall of Justice in Louisville, Kentucky.

(00:32):
It's a revolving door. These poor men and women of LMPD.
They risk their lives night and day, and it's the
story over and over and over one thousand dollars bond
or whatever, and you just let out you want transparency
with all judges, and you've taken on a task for that.
What's going on, Christy.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Well, we have started Judge, which is judge dash Wi
dot com and we are looking for stories. So the
goal is to have attorney reviews, litigant reviews, and court watching.
We need to know what's happening within the judiciary. And
hold the people accountable that are elected and make six
figures in the city and across this nation.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Do they feel too comfortable at this point? Is that
what they don't feel like there is any repercussions if
they look. We do the stories every week of cases
that don't make any sense. How could you lower the
bond on this guy or girl? How could you set
them home with homecarceration instead of putting them in jail?

(01:31):
These are bad dudes.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Well, and I'm a former public defender, so obviously I
believe in the presumption of innocence and the judges need
to follow the law. But what we have a right
as citizens to know is what is happening. Are you
working full time? Are you running an ncise, which is
an out of state thing? The little boy that was
murdered in the suitcase, she had an out of state
warrant and it's unclear whether the judge even ran that. Now,

(01:55):
if you know someone's out on a felony in another
state has come to Louisville, is accused of a felony,
why are you ro RD which means released on your
own recognizance?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
So I gotta ask you this look on this show
Tony and I both we can be quite brutal on
the judges because what we're upset about it the city
of Louisville, they're upset about it. So I know for
a fact, if I were catch a charge on something,
I'll be in front of one of these judges and
they'll throw the book at me. See you, dude, I
gotta tell you no. I know that's constantly in back
of mind. But whatever your trade, by nature, your your trade.

(02:30):
As you're an attorney, this is quite risky for you.
I gotta think, or is it.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I gotta think it is.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Oh absolutely, I mean it's extremely risky. And at first
I was scared. But the reality is, I'm a first
generation attorney. You know, my grandmothers were amazing, my nanny
and my nana, and they couldn't go to law school.
And so why become a lawyer to be a yes woman?

Speaker 5 (02:49):
You know?

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Why just do what I'm told when the reality is
people are hurting. You know, I practice criminal law family
law in this city for a decade and I cannot
go anywhere in this community. Dennis the hairdresser McDonald's to
get a sweet tea without hearing what these family court
judges have done to people, and I have a duty
to speak out in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Otherwise, what give me an example.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
I mean, they are taking children without due process, They're
having hearings without swearing people in. We have all of
this delegation of judicial authority, authority to these third party people,
these focsgls, which are attorneys appointed to represent the children's
best interest. These people are not meeting with the children.
Sometimes they're making recommendations. We're imposing our socioeconomic beliefs. I mean, people.

(03:35):
There is one case in Louisville where the fact that
the mom was writing Bible had the children writing Bible
verses during the pandemic. That was concerned because she was
a religious fanatic.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh my gosh, what they didn't take the kids, did they?
They did? They took the kids because she was they
were they were writing Bible verses.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Well, y'all, So this is a case where there was
a domestic violence order entered against dad. Dad now has
sole custody. The judge said, and I quote, the domestic
violence between the parties did not affect the minor children.
In what world? That is a fundamental misunderstanding of domestic violence.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Uh, Okay, Wait a minute, so we're clear here. What
are the different courts? So you're talking about family court,
there's district court, yes, certain court. What happens in district court.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
So district court is misdemeanors and minor financial.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Undercat thousands okay, and then circuit court circuit court.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Is what over that amount, and then felonies okay. And
then family court judges are technically circuit court. So we
have ten family court judges thirteen I think circuit court
judges and sixteen district court judges. So over six figures,
you're talking four million dollars of our taxpayer money. Then
you have a former judge mckayshavan, who is the court administrator,

(04:53):
who is essentially a spokesperson to cover up anything that
they do, and what I mean by that is not work.
He shouldquash his stories. I know for a fact he
got rid of the WDRB story. On the TikTok judge.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
What's the TikTok, I'm not familiar with TikTok.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well, we're not on TikTok. Somebody said we should should
we I'm on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'm not getting onto TikTok. We might need to too, stupid.
I don't know, Mario, can you get me on the TikTok?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Mario's not the TikTok? Who is it?

Speaker 4 (05:25):
So it's Denise Brown and she's a family court judge.
So she is the reason that all of this started.
She I ended up had a situation with her where
she retaliated against a client because she expartayed me. I
filed to have her recused and then I was in
front of her a week or two later and she
took it out of my client and I just said,

(05:45):
I'm out, I'm done feeling. What's a mess?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
It can't happen.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
No, I mean my client. What did they do? You
know what I mean? And there's a long backstory to that.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
But why is she called the TikTok? Put does she?
What does she put on TikTok?

Speaker 4 (05:58):
She is obsessed with being a social media influencer. She
does makeup. She used to record from the bench, like
she would be like, okay, dorsing Stanley products.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
She acts from the bench.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah okay, Because I was gonna say if she does
makeup tips and whatever on her own time, no big deal.
But she makes videos from the bench out of that's
kind of a bad look in my eyes. I don't
know what's right, what's wrong. It's not my it's not
my world. But let's go ahead and talk about I
want to go back to.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
This TikTok judge. So how do you.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Get wind of it? And what makes you want to
pursue that particular judge? But is this all judges right?

Speaker 4 (06:38):
This is for all judges absolutely. But I was at home,
it was after Super Bowl Sunday, and I saw that
she had secretly selfie recorded a domestic violence hearing and
hashtagged it or TikTok thing.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Oh wait, is that legal?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Well, I mean there's a difference between legal and tactful obviously.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I mean I think it's a bad look.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
But wow, So our courts are open and there are recordings. Now,
I'll tell you right now, if you went down there
and put your cell phone and tried to record, you'd
be in trouble. And so she was doing this. I
think she was doing it more frequently than what she posted.
I mean she has hashtag domestic violence like making a
mockery of it. And I reached out to all the
family court judges, prior judges. I thought surely to goodness

(07:22):
this is enough right to hold her accountable. She records
in chambers and it was crickets, and so I filed
a complaint. And all I can say about that, obviously
I'm an attorney, I have ethics, is that there was
no private or public reprimand. And she is still on
TikTok and still on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
How old the average age do you think these judges are?
I know that's hard to sort of. I guess it
runs a gamut totally.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, I would say, I mean, Denise's sixty seven, I think.
But we've got a lot of young district court judges.
You only need two years experience, which is terrifying.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
How much of this is leadership like all all these
judges under michael'connell. Well, or am I wrong with that?

Speaker 4 (08:04):
There's separation of powers. I actually studied under Justice Scalia,
which was like one of the most amazing things in
my life. But the judiciary is self policing, you know,
much like old school law enforcement. So their duty is
to hold themselves accountable and well explain a lot exactly.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Well, thank god they don't let us to be self
because they would go wrong. But we're a talk show host.
We're not judges that have people's lives in when you
take my stomach got sick when you said taking kids
when they didn't deserve to be taken. That's like a
nightmare movie.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
And y'all, I mean there are problems in district court.
District court predominantly. The problem is they don't work. Okay,
they work part time. I mean it's a hot mess.
But also they get away with it. I mean, I
think during the pandemic they were able to set a
schedule so they could essentially kind of do this week on,
week off. I mean there was a vote about extending
the ten day time period, which is a rule. And

(08:57):
these judges, you know, they're sixteen of them. I'd say
today Wednesday, eleven fourteen, there's probably eight court rooms if
that open.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Soif running about fifty percent capacity.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
And there's a backlog. I mean, I used to practice
in eastern Kentucky and y'all, we were doing video arraignments
in twenty ten and they can't even get it together
to do that.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Actually, are you saying COVID was a watershed moment and
everything changed after.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
They were able they realized, hey, I get six figures.
I can sit at home, I can play with makeup,
I can do dances, you know, And there's the media,
for whatever reason, doesn't seem interested in reporting on it.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, well let me touch on that for a second.
And I'm not a reporter. We tease that we're the
journalists and the whole bit. But there was a certain
case that I wanted to find out about, and I
called the Hall of Justice and it was a five
hour ordeal and I got.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
The answer on the Well, it was a simple question.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
There's a simple question. Who was the judge on this case?
And I got bounced around. You'd act like it was
Act of Congress for me what I'm asking, And then
they got r I's rule it on this five hours
I've invested in my life just so I could talk
about it on the show.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I do it, and I get the name.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
The next day I crucified judge and I find out
it's not even that judge. I was given the wrong
name after five hours of my own time. It's quite
frustrating that there isn't transparency. Do you think that what
you're doing now is going to lead?

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
How do we get accountability? Because I hate radio shows
and everybody else that just we go on there and
we tell what the problem is. What's the answer.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
The answer is transparency, I think bringing awareness. So I
blew up on TikTok. There was a judge, Judge Lauren Ogden,
that removed a baby from dad in open core after
no hearing and hearing had been canceled. Dad wasn't present.
And the realization when you see what these judges do
with your own eyes, that will change the accountability, that

(10:48):
will change who runs against them. And as far as
the Hall of justice, I mean, we have a serious problem.
They don't even want to put their printed name on warrants,
You and I and everybody in Louisville, in this country.
He has a right to know who signed what warn't
absolutely well, I think.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
About how scary is this somebody took your baby. Look
if I lost track of either of my kids when
they were little in Target for two minutes, I was panicking.
You imagine you don't know where your child is. They
took your child from you. Where is my child? We
can't tell you that?

Speaker 4 (11:15):
What and they in family court? We don't have any
checks and balances. You can't even send it to the
box or send it to a jury. So these judges
know they can get away with basically whatever they want
to do.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
So I'm a bit of a pessimist.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's a shock.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
But anytime I see, like, I don't know, five or
six stories about bad judges, I always say, well, that's great,
that's what we know. Imagine what we don't amen, and
I imagine the bottom of an iceberg of what we
don't know. For example, in the past, I think it
was the past few months or at least this year,
maybe there was a judge and there was a criminal

(11:53):
before her, and she said, I'm gonna call your mother.
I'm gonna ask your mother should I lock you up
or should release you to her? So she calls the
mother and by a shocking twist of fate that she
answers yeah. The mom says, oh, you know what, I'm
gonna throw you a curve ball here. I don't think
you should lock him up. So now the guy gets

(12:14):
he gets released to his mother. I saw that video,
and the worst part about that is this, not only
you're teaching criminals well, you know what, there is no
consequence for your actions, but number two, what is that
person going to do?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Down the road.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
How many violent offenders get released on bonehead moves like
this and then go back and there were repeat offenders
on a violent crime.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Well, judges have a godlike complex. They think if they
say something, then that is the outcome. So they'll be like,
don't no further acts of domestic violence, you know, no
further crimes. Don't use drugs or alcohol, And that's not
how drug addiction works.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
What was what was the blind judge's name? He used
to call him the show all the time. Good job man,
and I hope he's listening.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Okay, what's the guy that saved your life? What's the
guy that saved your life?

Speaker 1 (13:00):
When we were joking, Jim u all that's not true,
Jim Bannon, all right, So what would this website look like?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah? And what is the webin?

Speaker 1 (13:08):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (13:09):
So it's Judge Judge dash Wi dot com.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
I go there and I want to find out.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
So right now we are just looking for stories and
we've already got so many submissions. We are Judgy on
TikTok and Instagram and then I am Kentucky Christine on
TikTok if you want to see some of these cases,
but we will have an app and I do think
in Kentucky everything is recorded, so we are going to
put up there. When you go to court, you're going
to be able to look at your judge and see
their demeanor on the bench, see how they roll, look

(13:36):
at every time the Court of Appeals has overturned them,
the Supreme Court has overturned them. So they're social media posts.
Who's donating to their campaigns because that is huge these
endorsements Cfair and uaw. I mean I did run for
judge of grassroots and you realize quickly, like I've driven
a Ford most of my life and the Ford endorsement
went to Tracy Davis, Who've got a du at seven

(13:58):
in the morning in a Mercedes.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah again, I've seen you just showed me a video
of some of the family Cort folks dancing and a
Christmas video. I just grew up in a different era
where the judge was you know, he didn't speak, he
didn't speak in public, he didn't do anything. He would
he or she would go in and then you knew
he was in charge or she was in charge, right uh.

(14:20):
And there was not stoic, but there was just a
thing to the judges to where you know his his
word or her word was final, and you knew you
were getting justice is blind. That's why I wanted to
go with with the our old judge friend. Justice is
supposed to be blind and you answer whatever the law is.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Absolutely, And just to be clear, that video you saw
was posted on Judge Denise Brown's TikTok. That was her handle,
so you knew when you're scrolling that is a judge.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
What was the video? What is the video?

Speaker 1 (14:50):
They were dancing for a Christmas video.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
It was kind of into sexy read Yeah, what a.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Sexy red it's a song.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
No, I don't know she's an artist, Yeah, sexy reads
the art, yes, and it's inappropriate lyrics.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
That's where I was going because a lot of Dad's
music it has a questionable lyrics in it.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah. I don't even want to say Okay.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Well, but in the bottom line, no one will vote
them out because no one thinks about this stuff until
they get in the voting booth and they don't know
anybody's no. But I hope this website would give them.
But we do this with the school board too. I mean,
the last time you had four different we had opportunities
to flip the school board. Not one of them flipped
because people don't pay attention to it until they have to.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
I do think time's up. I think these judges have
gone too far. I mean this is something that resonates
with literally everyone, people with money, without money, children. I mean,
there isn't Like I said, I cannot go anywhere without
someone telling me.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
It's affected the entire city. I mean, look what it's
done to the entire city. The revolving door that is
the Hall of Justice.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Judge David Hilton oh Holton Holt.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Holton, Well, he was a good guy. We had a
case with We love be out in private practice. He's
a nice guy. And Andrey his wife's lovely South End guy.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Y he's calling our show all the time when we
had legal questions. He would just call the hotline.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
A great guy. All right, we we love what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, So one more question on this.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
So the website is going to be Judge j u
d G E Dash Why judge e dot com. People
go here and they start posting their experiences, you all
shift through that and then you're going to disseminate what
information you should put up. And I'm sure, you're going
to verify it the whole bit. What's the evolution of this?

(16:34):
Is it going to be an easily navigated website where
I could go on instead of spending five hours of
my time and finding out what judge did, what bonehead decision?

Speaker 2 (16:45):
I can just go there and get it myself.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Absolutely create me out.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Man.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Cops like this idea.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Oh the sheriff's office, yes, I mean they know that
when they act as quote unquote baylifts, I mean their
sheriff's office, and they're extremely legitimate and they're amazing. They
know if they behave like this, it'd be on the front.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Page of the current Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
But judge is going to judge the judges like they
judge you.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Oh nice, Are you gonna make recommendations down the road
on the website?

Speaker 2 (17:08):
How will that work?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
You know, we haven't got that far. This has been
such a grassroots effort, I mean, just to be clear
and for the judges listening, because I know y'all are
The billboard that went up was a donation because everybody's
tired of you, and there'll be more and y'all are
just seeing the beginning.

know they always like block traffic. You know, they like
the traffic. I don't think that's gonna make me listen

(21:34):
to your point. No, if you're blocking, right, So my
suggestion would be Sam driving on the road, You hop
in my car and you go, hey, let's take the
carpool lane. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
That's so smart, that actually makes sense.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Jamie Lisso is our guest hilarious guy. You were also
in the original series Real Rob with a Rob Snyder.
He listen, Man, I you never know, but some people
you just think, you know what, he's a real deal,
regular guy. It seems like Rob Schneider's is the real
deal regular guy. Is he really that down to earth man?

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Oh yeah, man, Rob, Rob is the best all I
would say all of those guys. Sandler Spade, Norm was
like this. It's like the opposite of don't meet your heroes.
Like if it's those guys, go to meet him. Rob
is just he's my first phone call if I need
to punch him a joke. But he's also my first
phone call. Like when I got divorced, He's the guy

(22:27):
that was there for me that was not you know,
like when something bad happens, you notice that all your
friends it's going to voicemail. Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's weird.
Everybody seems like they're busy. Rob is the guy that
calls you first. And I actually stayed with him for
a couple of months after I got divorced, and yeah,
he's a he's a very very good friend. I just
don't I know, I do the Netflix show with him.
I just told want people to think all I do

(22:48):
is ride off the success of Rob Schneider. I think
people think that because that's a lot of what I do.
But I also have stuff that I do completely on
my own. I just want to make sure that's great.
You can check out all that stuff on my website,
Rob Schneider's friend dot com.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
He's been around forever. He's been around forever. What is
your story?

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, so I started, man, I just started
doing I dropped out of law school to try comedy
wow back in the day, and was actually encouraged by
my father. I'll never forget this. I did, got paid
like no kid in fifty bucks, free bowling and a
daze in hotel room. And I couldn't couldn't believe I
was getting paid to do comedy. And I was in

(23:30):
law school for a week at that time, and I
drove home and I said to my dad, like, I'm
just not seeing this law school thing. I'm gonna end
up owing three hundred grand like, I don't know if
I can do it, and he said, let's go get
your stuff, and he moved me out of law school
and released a year more horrible parenting. I did a
great yet, yes.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
But then again, but if it doesn't work out, you
can blame him later.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
That's a great point. That's a great point.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Well, wait a minute, what's what would you think is
harder making it in comedy or going to law school.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
That's a great question. I would say law school. I
think you have a it's a little bit more objective,
where like, if I complete these things, get these scores,
I can probably get a job. I feel like comedy
it takes a lot of there's a lot of luck involved,
you know, Like I feel like I just happened to
I was doing morning radio. Rob Schneider called in. I
told him I was a huge fan. I loved his

(24:23):
comedy and he said, you want to do a guest
set tonight at the show, and I said, oh my god,
I'd love to. And I watched him and he told
me he was just getting back in the stand up
and so I did my set. It went pretty good.
I sat in the audience and I wrote him thirty
jokes wow during his set, and at the end of
the set, I just said, hey, I wrote you a
bunch of jokes, and fast forward. I ended up opening
for him for years. We did the TV show together.

(24:44):
And it's wild, man, because this tour a lot of
these theaters I'm doing, like just like in Louisville, I
opened for Rob at these theaters and so it's really
wild to go back. There's just like so many memories,
like I go, oh my god, right there, that's where
Rob had me carry his bags. You know, so many memories.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
How did you get caught up with the Greg Guttfield
because he's got quite the popular show and you do
a lot.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Of appearances on there? Man? How that come about? Did
he call you? You call him? How does that work?

Speaker 5 (25:13):
So in all cases I call them, okay, just if
there's any follow up, I'm always calling people. No one
really calls me, but it was. I actually did an
audition at Gotham Comedy Club in New York for his
old show called Red Eye and True Story. I get
off stage and I was wearing like the you know
that remember the comedy Starter kid in like the early
two you would.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Wear a blazer, shoes, and jeans, and they would say, please,
welcome to comedy Starlings.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
James Lizzle, you got it.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
The only thing you missed was the empty wallet. Oh yeah,
but yeah. But I got off stage and I went
to this darning store and this guy comes up and
he goes, heymn, I'm great, guts old your audition to
do my show? And I go, what do you think
of my set? And he goes, I was taking a
leak during your set, you know to be I swear
to God, I swear to God. And then he goes.

(26:01):
He goes, but I'm going to put you on the show.
And I go, why if you didn't even see my comedy?
And he said people kept coming up to him telling
me he was really funny, and he had not even
gone on stage that night, and it was because he
was wearing that comedy starter kit and people thought he
was me and enough people told him he was funny
that he goes, I'll just put you on.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Man.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
He goes, that's a bunch of people came up.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Hey, you're out on tour right now. Actually, Louis was
lucky to get enough a date on this. Don't miss it.
It's gonna be October the tenth October a tenth and
the name of the tour. Go ahead and give him
the name of the tour.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
So I like it.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Name of the tour is better off Dad, And I
will say I have actually performed in Louisville before. It's
just no one else was there, but big fan of
Big Lukel is a killer comedy town. Oh yeah, I
remember we'd always hit Louisville and Lexington on the on
the way through. So it's been a minute since I
used to do like the comedy caravan.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, Tom Tom so right.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
Tom Tom Sole is the man. He's a legend, and
it was a He's very very kind to me and
so very very cool to be coming back to do
a theater there. So definitely the word of this one.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Wow, So hang on, how's h And I assume Rob
Schneider gets this a lot? How sick of him is
because some of his lines and movies are iconic. How
how many times does he get there? You can do it?
I can't imagine that people want him to do that
line or is that not a case?

Speaker 5 (27:22):
So they absolutely want him to do that line all
of the time. But I will say, you know, there's
like you know, Jimmy Walker doesn't like saying dynamite correct,
and I respect that. But Rob Schneider, we will be
at Whole Foods and someone could come up and say
I loved you in whatever, and he will do all
of the lines. I think he's very grateful to his fans,

(27:43):
and so I mean sometimes even when I'm staying at
his house. Sometimes oh yo, you can do it when
he's in the bathroom and uh just but he is
one of those guys where it doesn't bother him to
be asked to do those lines. He'll even do it
at the end of his set. Sometimes he's like, all right, I'll.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Hey listen, best of luck, and we can't wait to
see on the tenth. Enjoy your honeymoon. Man, we didn't
know you had you were calling on your honeymoon.
