Speaker 1 (00:33):
I started thinking that saying, and I was like, if
it's raining, I got to run to the Gouldhouse. I
was a guy. I'm gonna break my rule right right
at that moment.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So you're too cheap to park at the Goldhouse in
the parking spot.
Speaker 1 (00:45):

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I don't know if that's the politically correct term anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Oh, please, come on, I think people No, you're probably right.

Oh, I could guess.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Now you're probably right. I guess you're probably right.

somebody will send an email.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
They may No, I'm not going to say yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So I love the co buying a house idea. Figure
it out, because that's who I keep telling the young folks.
Figure it out. Also to Mario, do not rent for
the rest of your life. That is the dumbest thing
you can do. It's the only way for a normal
salaried person in America to build some wealth is through
real estate. So definitely buy a house when you get
if you can just swing it. We wanted to buy
(02:11):
the crappiest house in the best neighborhood we could. That
was our that was our thought pattern, and we bought
the crappiest house in Trinity Hills fixed it up over
the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
But oh, that's fixed up.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Radioactive Shrimp.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But that sounds like a superhero, right, or at least you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Know it's a band name for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It's definitely a band name, Radioactive Shrimp.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I got of the dun dun Dumbess. No, I know,

needs an overhaul.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah doesn't.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, it's played again. Let me hear it. It's a
great dune done perfect.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Uh, there's yet another warning about Radioactive Shrimp. Last month,
it was at Walmart. This time it's linked to packages
sold at Kroger Aquastar Corporation. That sounds like it's like
the That's Aquastar from film.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's band list.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, uh is we're calling it's Kroger Raw Easy
peel shrimp, Kroger Medicago cooked shrimp, and Aquastar shrimp skewers.
The FDA says the shrimp sold in more than thirty
states maybe contaminated with radioactive material radioactive.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well, why is the why at what part of the
progress taking a shrimp from a shrimp home in the ocean,
putting on the shrimp boat, then getting it on ice,
driving it into the shrimp factory. What part does the
radioactive stuff?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's insane. No illnesses have been reported yet, but they
they're fearful that there's something, so they're going overboard obviously
on recalling this shrimp. So be careful. Aqua Star and
Micardo Cook No, maybe it was Mercado.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, yeah, so we didn't do the story.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You know, who shrimp isn't contaminating? Who's gump for a
gump shrimp? John Silver shrimp. Oh, they're delicious.

Shrimp Taco on October the sixth, and then October seventh,
I'll leave for Baja.

peg legs.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I don't know. Maybe it, Maybe we'll get the CEO
on again.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, we didn't do the story. We teased it. What
we never did. I don't think the World Stone Skimming Championship.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh yeah, we touched on it and never did the story.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You never did the story the way if you if
you've recorded this spoiler alert, so I know there's a
lot of stone skimming fans out there. It was rock
this year with controversy the World Stone Skimming Championships with
a cheating scandal. Several competitors were disqualified and sent packing
(05:29):
after it was determined their stones had been tampered with.
They've been smoothed down to make them more circular. And
after we teased this story, a buddy of mine, Todd Howard,
said that I think this guy's from Louisville, we got
to get him on right.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Kyle Matthews, I don't. I mean, other competitors complained that
they noticed the stones looked suspicious. Kyle Matthews, a local
doctor who runs the event, contacted the cheaters. They all
admitted what they were doing. They got kicked out of
the competition. Jonathan Jennings from Kentucky won the men's division. Okay,
(06:06):
he became the first American champion.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
So that's who.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Todd Howard sent me the number Jonathan Jennings. All right, Howard,
you know what, when you got caught, at least he
admitted it. These competitions, it's like that. Did you remember
a couple of years ago the bass fishing competition, which
is unbelievably millions of dollars, somebody complained and said, those
fish don't weigh that. Remember they cut them open and
(06:30):
found those lead balls, right, yeah, the lead balls in
the fish. And it was just and the guy just
sat there and everyone was screaming at him, and they
were as they were cutting the fish open and pulling
these lead balls out, and they were just screaming at him.
But he had won hundreds of thousands of dollars on
these competitions. Those bass boats cost three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
They're crazy, That's what it was too. It's a Jonathan Jennings. Jonathan,
I'm gonna be giving you a yell soon. We gotta
get you on the show.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh you know what I want to see? What I
want to see those bass competitions in these million dollar boats, right,
and they're all geared up and they have their sponsors
all over them. And then I want two old dudes
in a dinghy to win it, to go out there

one last leap into the air and into the boat
and spears the fisherman. Wow, have you not seen that?
Speaker 6 (08:21):

Speaker 2 (08:22):
But I had a buddy that a buddy of mine
caught one down in Cabo and he came back and
the first thing they did was the meat. They had
some of it for dinner and the rest of it
went to.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
A local.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Charity down there to feed the homeless. But then he says, well,
I'm getting this thing mounted taxidermy, you know. And he
did it, and I went over looked at it. It's
like the whole thing's plastic. I don't even even I
think it's just like a plastic fish. I don't think
there's anything on the fish that's really Maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Cant is way worse than imagine.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Michael Kidting is the only Batman. When do you talk?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
So the dialogue is so dumb, and there are the
special effects, and I have a feeling that maybe they
were doing they were dumbing down the special effects to
make it look like the nineteen sixties TV show or something.
But the special effects like he grabs the joker, Nicholson
grabs the guy and he burns up. But it's like
they do the lights that are like hanker on his face.
(10:54):
And I was like, how can you watch this?
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Still?
Speaker 1 (10:58):

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I still remember the trailer when they cut to Jack Nicholson,
he goes way they get old of me.
Speaker 1 (11:05):

But I don't it's not bad, it's terrible.

somebody mindless? And is that why it works? Here's the

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Number four is Ben Aflack. Number three Christian Bale.
Speaker 1 (13:09):

I guess right.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
But Frankenstein would have been like a really good looking guy. Yeah, okay,
And he's misunderstood. You know what he's just misunderstood Frankenstein

it all. We're going to autograph it and everybody. It's

good good cause, and it'll be great.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
So here's what's going on tonight. This is gonna be
a hell of a show. Because anytime you're on the bill, man,
I got to tell you you Keith McGill and Mark Klein.
But ye know, here's what you never because I've been
to situations like these comedy shows where it's for a
benefit or if it's in remembrance of a comic that
(22:51):
just passed. I've been to enough of these to know
that you don't know who might just show up and
say let me do five minutes. So yeah, my point
is we could tell you we could tell you all
day long and twice on Sunday who's going to be
the show. But to be honest, you never know what
comic's gonna show up. And I've seen big names just
coming out nowhere.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Yeah, and you know what, and I and I and
I don't want to speak for Mike, but I believe
I heard a rumor that he's actually going to be
there tonight. So you might even see Mike himself get
up and uh and and and one acknowledge the gratitude
for the community to come together for him, because he's,
let's be honest, he's been He's been making this community, community,
(23:32):
and this entire nation laugh for a long time. So
I think it'd be great to see you know, his uh,
his reaction to to the outpoint of love. And and
then I guess any he gets on stage and does
something Mike always great.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, I've been I've been friends with comedian Mike Armstrong
for going on thirty years now. As a matter of fact,
he actually did a benefit for me at one point.
But here's the thing that, uh, you know a lot
of artists that are out there, and I don't know
if this is the case of Mike or not. But
you and I have both lost a lot of friends
(24:07):
that are comedians just because of the fact that they
don't have healthcare and and they don't they don't number
one either know to invest in it or something comes
up and we and you know, once you get something
the serious man, if you don't have health care, it
can take you down pretty quick. Is there any kind
of a comic organization out there has been formed to
look out because this? I got to think that's a
(24:28):
national issue.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
It really is. And and you know, I I don't
know of it, but I but I'll tell you this, y'all.
Being an entertainer myself, it's people look at it and go, oh,
those guys got to be doing well. And sometimes it's
because some comments you got to go they got to
be doing horribly. But the truth is, in entertainment and comedy,
this was what I know. It's feast or famine. It's
feast and famine. And I've been doing it thirty five
(24:52):
years and and I've had feast and I've had famine,
and guess what, I'll have famine again. And I mean
thirty five years. I literally have been never declared bankruptcy,
but I lost a home one time when I left
California during the eight crisis, and There's been at least
three times that I've been broke as I could possibly be.
(25:13):
And you know, two years late, three years later, I
opened Number one Tequila, so things start going well. But
it is it's hard to find insurance. We're self employed.
There's not a comedy union like Afterra or SAG, you know,
and we don't fall under that because we're the bastard
children of entertainment, right. I'm sure there's something out there.
I've never found it, you know. I've always purchased my
(25:35):
own family's insurance, and then Obamacare kind of took us
out of there, you know, where we couldn't afforded. And
it's it's a struggle, you know. And as I think
everyone listening knows, and some people probably don't, But look
at your neighbors. I always say, every house in your neighborhood,
no matter how nice or nasty your neighborhood is, I
(25:57):
would say, seventy percent of the people eighty percent of
the people in your neighborhood, including yourself, are you know,
four months away from being homeless? Oh?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Absolutely tragic, tragic.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Can happen. And that's when I like to say, you know,
I grew I'm Mexican, right, so my family, when tragedy
would happen to one member and aunt, an uncle, a cousin,
you kind of hall pulled together. You pull together and
you make things happen. And it's amazing what you can
do when you pull together. And that's kind of what
(26:27):
we're doing now for Mike, and we'll probably do for
me later or some other time, you know, and some
other comic and it's.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Just that's kind that's kind of where I was going.
As comedian Alex Romando joins the show, and by the way,
he comes to this via Mexico, via Dallas to Louisville.
But I consider you a Louisville citizen because you've been
here for so long living in Louisville.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
You've been here thirty years now.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Absolutely incredible. But I want to ask you this because
you see this a lot in Louisville, Kentucky with the
entertainment and industry, and it makes my heart just swell
every single time. If there's a musician or if there's
a comic, somebody in the entertainment industry that needs help.
I have never seen artists step up like they do
(27:12):
in this city. It's amazing what the folks do that
are in the entertainment industry from this city or whether
they're living here or they fly back. I saw Mat
King when we honor Tom Sobl. There was a lot
of big names that flew in from Vegas just to
be here to honor the memory of Tom Soble. It's
amazing the heart and the dedication that these entertainers have
(27:35):
to others.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Well, you're absolutely right. It's a great community. We all
stick together. And you know what, and don't take yourself
out of that conversation, because you are the leader of
all of that. You know, you contribute to anything and everything. Man,
I've always loved that about you. You've got the busiest
schedule in the world. People think you just work. I'm
noting the noon, you know, four days a week, and
(27:57):
no you don't. You're always somewhere money for dogs. It took,
it took whatever it may be.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You're quite busy too, but I remember it was just
it was two days ago. It took us three hours
to connect on the phone. I'd call you be in
a meeting, You'd call I'd be in a meeting, but
let's talk about what's going on again tonight, because it's
not just yead go.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Ahead, just talking community. I just I had to yell
at somebody real quick. I'm out in my yard picking weeds.
Uh because I'm real Mexican and uh. But my male guy,
who's been gone for like four months, he just wait, hey, Alex,
come back. And that's that's the community that I in Louisville.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
No, that's right, that's exactly.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
So I felt bad that I had to flip him
off and tell him too busy to talk to him.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Shut up, I'm pulling weeds. Comedian Alex Raymondo joins the show,
and then four or five nine, double O double two
is the Caravan comedy club. Folks were trying to raise
money for comedian Mike Armstrong. He's been a headliner, I do.
I've known him for thirty years. Brilliant, commit great And
here's the thing about Mike Armstrong and his beautiful wife,
(29:04):
they're sought of the earth people. Uh, they're about as
good as it gets.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Tonight, one of my I don't want to hack his joke,
but one of my favorite lines. I don't know if
he still does that. He talks about being married, and
he is, you know. He talks about being in the mall,
which no one goes to anymore. But he says, and
again this is decades ago, but he says that he
sits next to some other old guy, I.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Mean the old guy.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Uh. He looked at the old guy and says, how
long have you been married? He was all, damn day's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I think my favorite Mike Armstrong line is when he
talks about uh tasing and they like he's he should
like to tase elderly people and then get over the
top of him, go, we thought we lost you, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
When they come to he also had to give his
whole show.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Let's just give us act away.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
He goes to the high school reun and it goes
and sees his high school his wife's high school sweetheart
punches him in the stomach and he goes, that's for
not being committed, or that's not for being.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
You for not hanging on to her.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Alex Raymondo see him.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
To talking community. Yeah, community, can I throw something out?
Please do?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
We're talking about we're talking about you know again, I've
been here thirty years Uh, I've lived in Fern Creek,
I've lived in Hunting Creek. I've lived I'm you know,
this weekend, I'm going camping, so I'll be homeless. But
but Colonel Sheriff, Colonel John Aubrey, when I first came
to town, he uh, he scared me. I thought he
(30:44):
was going to have me killed because I teased him
that I had no idea. It was him at the
at the comedy Caravan and I roasted him and and
his lovely wife Bobby. I didn't know who he was.
I came off the stage literally going. The biggest response
to people are like, do you know who that was?
I said, some guy with the horrible haircutter is who
it was? They were like, no, that was the sheriff
cut too. He invites me the Knights of Columbus and
(31:06):
this is this is twenty something years ago, and and
what did you do besides being I can say this
now because I'm known him forever. He's just a he's
just a wonderful man. And I'm I'm sure some people
you know have a different story. But but he welcomed
me to this community.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
He made me an honorary sheriff. That day Wow, which
at the time, which at the time he told me
that I've only done this four times. I was the
fourth guy, fourth person that he made an honorary sheriff.
And when I would see him, he would he would
drink tequila and I would drink bourbon in honor of
of kind of coming together, right, two communities coming together.
(31:43):
That's that. That's who he was, at least to me,
and so I'd be I'd be upset with myself if
I didn't mention.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I still remember the day that he made I still
remember the day that Sheriff Aubrey made you a sheriff
because you came over to my house and you taxed
me on. I'll never forget that. Listen tonight and folks,
this is going on. But tonight is Alex's only show

was a guy. I'm gonna break my rule right right
at that moment.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So you're too cheap to park at the Goldhouse in
the parking spot.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Now you're probably right. I guess you're probably right.
Speaker 1 (01:40):

we're gonna run suicides on the on the court, and
somebody will send an email.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
They may No, I'm not going to say yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So I love the co buying a house idea. Figure
it out, because that's who I keep telling the young folks.
Figure it out. Also to Mario, do not rent for
the rest of your life. That is the dumbest thing
you can do. It's the only way for a normal
salaried person in America to build some wealth is through
real estate. So definitely buy a house when you get
if you can just swing it. We wanted to buy
(02:11):
the crappiest house in the best neighborhood we could. That
was our that was our thought pattern, and we bought
the crappiest house in Trinity Hills fixed it up over
the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
But oh, that's fixed up.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Radioactive Shrimp.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But that sounds like a superhero, right, or at least you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Know it's a band name for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It's definitely a band name, Radioactive Shrimp.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I got of the dun dun Dumbess. No, I know,
you really very bad at the dun dun dumb You.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Need to put the mouse right over it.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well, plus we need we need to get the U
an updated dunt dunt dunt machine because that one just
needs an overhaul.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah doesn't.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, it's played again. Let me hear it. It's a
great dune done perfect.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Uh, there's yet another warning about Radioactive Shrimp. Last month,
it was at Walmart. This time it's linked to packages
sold at Kroger Aquastar Corporation. That sounds like it's like
the That's Aquastar from film.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's band list.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, uh is we're calling it's Kroger Raw Easy
peel shrimp, Kroger Medicago cooked shrimp, and Aquastar shrimp skewers.
The FDA says the shrimp sold in more than thirty
states maybe contaminated with radioactive material radioactive.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well, why is the why at what part of the
progress taking a shrimp from a shrimp home in the ocean,
putting on the shrimp boat, then getting it on ice,
driving it into the shrimp factory. What part does the
radioactive stuff?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's insane. No illnesses have been reported yet, but they
they're fearful that there's something, so they're going overboard obviously
on recalling this shrimp. So be careful. Aqua Star and
Micardo Cook No, maybe it was Mercado.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, yeah, so we didn't do the story.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You know, who shrimp isn't contaminating? Who's gump for a
gump shrimp? John Silver shrimp. Oh, they're delicious.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I can't wait to have the long John Silver's Baja
Shrimp Taco on October the sixth, and then October seventh,
I'll leave for Baja.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I'll tell you the chicken, the everything planks, the chicken
that's wrapped in that whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I forgot to see. They had peg legs though, what's
a peg legs? It's like a drumstick, like actual bone is. Yeah, yeah,
peg legs.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I don't know. Maybe it, Maybe we'll get the CEO
on again.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, we didn't do the story. We teased it. What
we never did. I don't think the World Stone Skimming Championship.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Oh yeah, we touched on it and never did the story.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You never did the story the way if you if
you've recorded this spoiler alert, so I know there's a
lot of stone skimming fans out there. It was rock
this year with controversy the World Stone Skimming Championships with
a cheating scandal. Several competitors were disqualified and sent packing
(05:29):
after it was determined their stones had been tampered with.
They've been smoothed down to make them more circular. And
after we teased this story, a buddy of mine, Todd Howard,
said that I think this guy's from Louisville, we got
to get him on right.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Kyle Matthews, I don't. I mean, other competitors complained that
they noticed the stones looked suspicious. Kyle Matthews, a local
doctor who runs the event, contacted the cheaters. They all
admitted what they were doing. They got kicked out of
the competition. Jonathan Jennings from Kentucky won the men's division. Okay,
(06:06):
he became the first American champion.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
So that's who.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Todd Howard sent me the number Jonathan Jennings. All right, Howard,
you know what, when you got caught, at least he
admitted it. These competitions, it's like that. Did you remember
a couple of years ago the bass fishing competition, which
is unbelievably millions of dollars, somebody complained and said, those
fish don't weigh that. Remember they cut them open and
(06:30):
found those lead balls, right, yeah, the lead balls in
the fish. And it was just and the guy just
sat there and everyone was screaming at him, and they
were as they were cutting the fish open and pulling
these lead balls out, and they were just screaming at him.
But he had won hundreds of thousands of dollars on
these competitions. Those bass boats cost three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
They're crazy, That's what it was too. It's a Jonathan Jennings. Jonathan,
I'm gonna be giving you a yell soon. We gotta
get you on the show.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh you know what I want to see? What I
want to see those bass competitions in these million dollar boats, right,
and they're all geared up and they have their sponsors
all over them. And then I want two old dudes
in a dinghy to win it, to go out there
with the Halliday just a little tiny what is that
troller molder?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No, the Holliday Roast.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, competition.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Like a uh.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Carl and Carl and Carl and Lenny, Lenny and Carl
when they're bass fishing.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Okay, as you I was looking up, there's an annual
down in Cobbos and Lucas. There's an annual Bisbees Black
and Blue Tournament, a fishing tournament. It's from Marlon, you know.
And I got I got friends that get in on this.
I don't know what they what they pay, but the
prize is four million dollars. It gets over four million dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, well that you can die doing that sport.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, because the.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
No to self send susan marlin fishing this year.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Sold fish. It's a sold fish. So the fish. Have
you ever seen those videos where the fish does that
one last leap into the air and into the boat
and spears the fisherman. Wow, have you not seen that?
Speaker 6 (08:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But I had a buddy that a buddy of mine
caught one down in Cabo and he came back and
the first thing they did was the meat. They had
some of it for dinner and the rest of it
went to.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
A local.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Charity down there to feed the homeless. But then he says, well,
I'm getting this thing mounted taxidermy, you know. And he
did it, and I went over looked at it. It's
like the whole thing's plastic. I don't even even I
think it's just like a plastic fish. I don't think
there's anything on the fish that's really Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't think you're I don't. It's it was all
(08:58):
like there's like a plastic rep lo of the fish.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
He caud By the way, those radioactive shrimp, yeah, any
of them go like turn into like a Godzilla or
like the sure. Instead of it looking like a Godzilla,
is just a giant shrimp. I don't know what shrimp buildings.
I think they actually have one of those, Like Godzilla movies.
There's a shrimp monster.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Guy, Well there was a moth.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
There's a list.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
How do you get little Mathra. All you gotta do
is turn off all the lights and let the next
city turn their lights on Marthra's god.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Problem solved.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Problem solved. Man. Let's see, how is there well Mastra?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I think he like he does oh and like the
waves come out of his mouth and crushes his enemies.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That sounds right. Is there a shrimp Godzilla monster? Yes,
there's a giant shrill monster that battles Godzilla.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Name it Apria Apria.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Oh no it is, and it looks so realistic.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, dude in a shrimp outfit.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh my gosh, I forgot how hokey these things are.
I've seen pictures of Godzilla.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I love them. I love those guys.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
You have it.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I used to watch them on forty one all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah that and Ultra Man.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Ultra Man was awesome. Ultra Man was awesome.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So let's do this. Batman's the greatest Batman's of all time.
You sent me a text this last week and you said, Hey,
I'm watching the nineteen eighty nine Batman. It's horrible.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Cant is way worse than imagine.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Michael Kidting is the only Batman. When do you talk?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
So the dialogue is so dumb, and there are the
special effects, and I have a feeling that maybe they
were doing they were dumbing down the special effects to
make it look like the nineteen sixties TV show or something.
But the special effects like he grabs the joker, Nicholson
grabs the guy and he burns up. But it's like
they do the lights that are like hanker on his face.
(10:54):
And I was like, how can you watch this?
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Still?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I'm terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I still remember the trailer when they cut to Jack Nicholson,
he goes way they get old of me.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Great, that's one line and it is what it is.
But I don't it's not bad, it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It's a great movie.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Turn it back on and tell me you like it's awful.
I will watch awful awesome. And then who was the
assistant manager on the Bull Durham? He's like the main reporter,
Bill Cox.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Thank you Carl it is Bill Cox.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So no, I couldn't. I couldn't get through it. I
put I put dumb movies on hers, you know, mindless
movies on while I'm doing notes. Put me in the
mood to do the notes for the next day.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Does make you feel like you're in the room with
somebody mindless? And is that why it works? Here's the
top seven? Well, it's the only seven Batman's people played.
There's been seven Batman's coming in Dead Last as he should.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It's Batmanfleck Batman. No, it not Ben, it's not Batman's.
It's Batman Batman seven Batman. Well, Batman's doesn't work. Maybe
it's correct.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm not a bit at expert.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
We'll ask Tina from accounting during the break, uh, number
seven the worst Batman George Clooney.

Kilmer was okay, but it wasn't a good It wasn't
a good one.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Number four is Ben Aflack. Number three Christian Bale.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
No way, Christian Bale's the best. Christian Bale is the
best because it's dark, the dark Knights. It's the dark
part of that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Christian Bale is the best Batman. Lock it down. Number
two started that.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Number two is the best batman. Michael Keaton. Who started

The Twilight Guy?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
It is Robert.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Robert Pattinson.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I watched that the other day, The Sparkley Vampire Guy.
He's not bad at it.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's not better. He's not better.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
He skinny guy though, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
But I like him. He's cool. He's cool.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Who was a skinny batman?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
He said he almost got fired halfway through the Glitter
movie Vampirelight Twilight Movie because he was just like he
thought it was kind of dumb.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
What is dumb? What kind of vampire walks in the sunlight?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And he was being like really serious and all that
kind of stuff, and they were like, look, you you're
gonna get fired. Like we filmed half the movie, but
we're going to fire you because you're terrible. And he
was like, oh, okay, I thought I was trying to
play this character. Hey, I like him.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Vampire, don't go out in the sun, it'll burn you up.
I have a different vampireless And I think they was
part of I get Sparkley in the sun.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
There was probably part of him they understood taking this
part was going to pigeonhold him to people like us
that went Au and mcley don't like him. He's like,
I gotta play this role where I'm a vampire.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And how much mon did he make off all of
those uh oh Twilight movies?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
There's three? I think there's four. What was the teams?
Because it was the wolf, wolf Man, and the vampire.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I never watched it was team Jacob, the werewolf and
then whatever his team Edward Edward was his name.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Can they have like a Frankenstein guy come to town
and you know and expanded a little bit isn't And
how when was the last one?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
They was really popular when I was in elementary school,
all the girls the books.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yes, and it's about time for it to get remade,
I guess right.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
But Frankenstein would have been like a really good looking guy. Yeah, okay,
And he's misunderstood. You know what he's just misunderstood Frankenstein
and why people are afraid of him. And when somebody
pulls out a vape instead of lighting a thing, he.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Goes Pella Windows and Doors. Why Pellow Windows and Doors.

All right, we got an answer here. My brother in
law says, a couple of years ago, remember the Japan flood. Yeah,
were these shrimps? Were the shrimp? Were these shrimps? Were
the shrimps are caught?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
There a shrimp, the shrimp.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
May have been caught near Japan where where all that
radioactive stuff went in the water. That stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Then that begs the question, is there a Godzilla size
shrimp out there? Because that's where Godzilla came from.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
May it could be a good question. All right, Elin
and Elin talking about them all morning. One percent commission rate,
Those rates are coming down. They're looking at four and
a half. Maybe you're getting near the four and five
point mark where it is really is conducive to buying
selling homes. So Eland and Eland five nine nine twenty
eight hundred. Why one percent commission rate? Keep the equity
(16:47):
in your home? Eveland and Eveland sold one half of
all the one percent deals last year were with Eland
and Eland real Estate Brokerage five nine, twenty eight hundred.

Extraordinaire and very funny comedian Alex Raymundo. We're gonna do
some good for the neighborhood. The hilarious Mike Armstrong. Unfortunately
he's battling cancer and we need to step up and
try to help out Mike Armstrong with his bills. They've
done this, and I think Bob and Tom did one
(18:41):
in Indianapolis. But the Caravan Comedy Club is actually going
to donate proceeds from tonight's show, two shows on Friday
and two shows on Saturday, total of five shows to
benefit comedian Mike Armstrong. If you want tickets for that,
go to the Caravan Comedy Club's website or give him

good for the neighborhood and help out our dear friend,
comedian Mike Armstrong. We'll find out more about that when
we come back News straight away at the bottom of
the hour, and then comedian Alex Ramundo joins the show.
Tony Venetti, Dwight Whitten, John Auden, News Radio eight forty
(19:25):
whas it's time for me to talk to my favorite Mexican,
my dear friend, one of my favorite comedians and my
boss at number one dequi la Alex Raymundo. Alex, what's
up man? How you doing?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Brother? Oh my god, I'm always I'm always anxious, surprised
and happy as hell to hear the intro that you
give me.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
A comedian the song.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I heard the song start and I was like, what's
this there?
Speaker 6 (19:54):
It is.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Comedian Alex Riemundo. He's in town for a few days,
well a couple of days at least. I've been doing
a lot of West Coast work, man, been out in
LA and Hollywood and doing a lot of big West
Coast run out there. How's it been going out on
the road.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Man, It's crazy in California and I had to come
back to sanity of Kentucky. You know, it's it's the
world's crazy, and I'm here to inject some laughter if
i can, wherever I can, wherever I can go. But
we're do you know, as you know, we're doing tonight
for a good reason, to help support a great local comedian.
(20:34):
There's still a controversy whether he was ever a police officer.
Some people say he was, some people say he wasn't.
I had the inside scoop. My mother in law worked
and he was a security guard at some little some
some little place I can't remember. But anyway, we're here
to support Mike Armstrong and and and it's gonna be fun.
It's a lineup. I think you I don't know if
you know the lineup, but every night's different. Tonight I'm
(20:56):
on the show with Mark Klein. I think Keith McGill
is on tonight and Friday and Saturday. There's two shows
each night. But here's the cool part. Number one Tequila
is going to donate a bottle each show and raffle
it all. We're going to autograph it and everybody. It's
gonna have a Dwight Whitten autograph on it. Is part
(21:16):
of Number one Tequila.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
That devalues the bottle.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Well, you know, it does a.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Little bit, but it's way better than a Tony Vannetti.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Comedian Alex Romando joins the show. He's in town just
for a couple of days, come in just so he
can help out on this this benefit tonight for comedian
Mike Armstrong. He's battling cancer and of course, listen, man,
I got to tell you those bills they pile up
pretty quick and pretty high, and that's what him and
his lovely wife are dealing with right now. Every show
(21:48):
is going to be different, but tonight Alex is on
the show, and that's a hell of a show.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
You.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Keith McGill and Mark Klein has three headliners in one show.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yeah, and there's a couple other great comics. I just
don't know the lineup. But so it's gonna be good
and so and Mark Klin, everybody, I'm sure you know
if you live in this town, is very very clean
comic and I'm there to dirty things up.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
That's right, I'm there.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
So somebody doesn't go this is a kindergarten comedy show.
No all mad problems to Mark. But what I'm trying
to say is you'll get a little bit of both experiences.
So come out, have a good time and for a
good good cause, and it'll be great.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
So here's what's going on tonight. This is gonna be
a hell of a show. Because anytime you're on the bill, man,
I got to tell you you Keith McGill and Mark Klein.
But ye know, here's what you never because I've been
to situations like these comedy shows where it's for a
benefit or if it's in remembrance of a comic that
(22:51):
just passed. I've been to enough of these to know
that you don't know who might just show up and
say let me do five minutes. So yeah, my point
is we could tell you we could tell you all
day long and twice on Sunday who's going to be
the show. But to be honest, you never know what
comic's gonna show up. And I've seen big names just
coming out nowhere.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Yeah, and you know what, and I and I and
I don't want to speak for Mike, but I believe
I heard a rumor that he's actually going to be
there tonight. So you might even see Mike himself get
up and uh and and and one acknowledge the gratitude
for the community to come together for him, because he's,
let's be honest, he's been He's been making this community, community,
(23:32):
and this entire nation laugh for a long time. So
I think it'd be great to see you know, his uh,
his reaction to to the outpoint of love. And and
then I guess any he gets on stage and does
something Mike always great.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, I've been I've been friends with comedian Mike Armstrong
for going on thirty years now. As a matter of fact,
he actually did a benefit for me at one point.
But here's the thing that, uh, you know a lot
of artists that are out there, and I don't know
if this is the case of Mike or not. But
you and I have both lost a lot of friends
(24:07):
that are comedians just because of the fact that they
don't have healthcare and and they don't they don't number
one either know to invest in it or something comes
up and we and you know, once you get something
the serious man, if you don't have health care, it
can take you down pretty quick. Is there any kind
of a comic organization out there has been formed to
look out because this? I got to think that's a
(24:28):
national issue.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
It really is. And and you know, I I don't
know of it, but I but I'll tell you this, y'all.
Being an entertainer myself, it's people look at it and go, oh,
those guys got to be doing well. And sometimes it's
because some comments you got to go they got to
be doing horribly. But the truth is, in entertainment and comedy,
this was what I know. It's feast or famine. It's
feast and famine. And I've been doing it thirty five
(24:52):
years and and I've had feast and I've had famine,
and guess what, I'll have famine again. And I mean
thirty five years. I literally have been never declared bankruptcy,
but I lost a home one time when I left
California during the eight crisis, and There's been at least
three times that I've been broke as I could possibly be.
(25:13):
And you know, two years late, three years later, I
opened Number one Tequila, so things start going well. But
it is it's hard to find insurance. We're self employed.
There's not a comedy union like Afterra or SAG, you know,
and we don't fall under that because we're the bastard
children of entertainment, right. I'm sure there's something out there.
I've never found it, you know. I've always purchased my
(25:35):
own family's insurance, and then Obamacare kind of took us
out of there, you know, where we couldn't afforded. And
it's it's a struggle, you know. And as I think
everyone listening knows, and some people probably don't, But look
at your neighbors. I always say, every house in your neighborhood,
no matter how nice or nasty your neighborhood is, I
(25:57):
would say, seventy percent of the people eighty percent of
the people in your neighborhood, including yourself, are you know,
four months away from being homeless? Oh?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Absolutely tragic, tragic.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Can happen. And that's when I like to say, you know,
I grew I'm Mexican, right, so my family, when tragedy
would happen to one member and aunt, an uncle, a cousin,
you kind of hall pulled together. You pull together and
you make things happen. And it's amazing what you can
do when you pull together. And that's kind of what
(26:27):
we're doing now for Mike, and we'll probably do for
me later or some other time, you know, and some
other comic and it's.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Just that's kind that's kind of where I was going.
As comedian Alex Romando joins the show, and by the way,
he comes to this via Mexico, via Dallas to Louisville.
But I consider you a Louisville citizen because you've been
here for so long living in Louisville.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
You've been here thirty years now.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Absolutely incredible. But I want to ask you this because
you see this a lot in Louisville, Kentucky with the
entertainment and industry, and it makes my heart just swell
every single time. If there's a musician or if there's
a comic, somebody in the entertainment industry that needs help.
I have never seen artists step up like they do
(27:12):
in this city. It's amazing what the folks do that
are in the entertainment industry from this city or whether
they're living here or they fly back. I saw Mat
King when we honor Tom Sobl. There was a lot
of big names that flew in from Vegas just to
be here to honor the memory of Tom Soble. It's
amazing the heart and the dedication that these entertainers have
(27:35):
to others.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Well, you're absolutely right. It's a great community. We all
stick together. And you know what, and don't take yourself
out of that conversation, because you are the leader of
all of that. You know, you contribute to anything and everything. Man,
I've always loved that about you. You've got the busiest
schedule in the world. People think you just work. I'm
noting the noon, you know, four days a week, and
(27:57):
no you don't. You're always somewhere money for dogs. It took,
it took whatever it may be.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You're quite busy too, but I remember it was just
it was two days ago. It took us three hours
to connect on the phone. I'd call you be in
a meeting, You'd call I'd be in a meeting, but
let's talk about what's going on again tonight, because it's
not just yead go.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Ahead, just talking community. I just I had to yell
at somebody real quick. I'm out in my yard picking weeds.
Uh because I'm real Mexican and uh. But my male guy,
who's been gone for like four months, he just wait, hey, Alex,
come back. And that's that's the community that I in Louisville.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
No, that's right, that's exactly.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
So I felt bad that I had to flip him
off and tell him too busy to talk to him.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Shut up, I'm pulling weeds. Comedian Alex Raymondo joins the show,
and then four or five nine, double O double two
is the Caravan comedy club. Folks were trying to raise
money for comedian Mike Armstrong. He's been a headliner, I do.
I've known him for thirty years. Brilliant, commit great And
here's the thing about Mike Armstrong and his beautiful wife,
(29:04):
they're sought of the earth people. Uh, they're about as
good as it gets.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Tonight, one of my I don't want to hack his joke,
but one of my favorite lines. I don't know if
he still does that. He talks about being married, and
he is, you know. He talks about being in the mall,
which no one goes to anymore. But he says, and
again this is decades ago, but he says that he
sits next to some other old guy, I.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Mean the old guy.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Uh. He looked at the old guy and says, how
long have you been married? He was all, damn day's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I think my favorite Mike Armstrong line is when he
talks about uh tasing and they like he's he should
like to tase elderly people and then get over the
top of him, go, we thought we lost you, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
When they come to he also had to give his
whole show.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Let's just give us act away.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
He goes to the high school reun and it goes
and sees his high school his wife's high school sweetheart
punches him in the stomach and he goes, that's for
not being committed, or that's not for being.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
You for not hanging on to her.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Alex Raymondo see him.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
To talking community. Yeah, community, can I throw something out?
Please do?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
We're talking about we're talking about you know again, I've
been here thirty years Uh, I've lived in Fern Creek,
I've lived in Hunting Creek. I've lived I'm you know,
this weekend, I'm going camping, so I'll be homeless. But
but Colonel Sheriff, Colonel John Aubrey, when I first came
to town, he uh, he scared me. I thought he
(30:44):
was going to have me killed because I teased him
that I had no idea. It was him at the
at the comedy Caravan and I roasted him and and
his lovely wife Bobby. I didn't know who he was.
I came off the stage literally going. The biggest response
to people are like, do you know who that was?
I said, some guy with the horrible haircutter is who
it was? They were like, no, that was the sheriff
cut too. He invites me the Knights of Columbus and
(31:06):
this is this is twenty something years ago, and and
what did you do besides being I can say this
now because I'm known him forever. He's just a he's
just a wonderful man. And I'm I'm sure some people
you know have a different story. But but he welcomed
me to this community.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
He made me an honorary sheriff. That day Wow, which
at the time, which at the time he told me
that I've only done this four times. I was the
fourth guy, fourth person that he made an honorary sheriff.
And when I would see him, he would he would
drink tequila and I would drink bourbon in honor of
of kind of coming together, right, two communities coming together.
(31:43):
That's that. That's who he was, at least to me,
and so I'd be I'd be upset with myself if
I didn't mention.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I still remember the day that he made I still
remember the day that Sheriff Aubrey made you a sheriff
because you came over to my house and you taxed
me on. I'll never forget that. Listen tonight and folks,
this is going on. But tonight is Alex's only show
at the Caravan Comedy Club. It's Alex RAYMONDO is Keith McGill,
