Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, one very quick thing before we get to where
you're going next, because it's a pretty huge story in
your life. But just give me a short answer to
the question I just asked you before we went on
the air, which was, did your family have anything to
do with all the military and space kind of stuff
around Huntsville? Your answer about Huntsville and the area is.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Interesting, Yeah, my folks. My folks didn't. My dad owns
the landscaping company, and my mother is an accountant, and
and I definitely got my dad's brains on that.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
But anyways, I it's such a unique area.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We'reros so and I love telling people this because that
Huntsville area more engineers per capita than anywhere in the country.
You've got missile defense there, You've got NASA, You've got
I mean, all these all these brainiacs. It's such an
interesting dynamic. Growing up, half my friend's parents were farmers
and the other half of my friend's parents were rocket scientists,
(00:55):
which has got to be one of the very few
places in the country. I mean, Jeremy Williams, his mother,
Wendy Williams, fleut to Houston once a week to meet
with astronauts personally. She was a rocket scientist and she
was also hard to communicate with, but you know, just
smarter than.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The rest of us.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
But yeah, it's a really cool area in that regard.
Like I told you, some of the smartest people you'd
ever meet in your life wearing camo in that area.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't think I properly reintroduced Derek when we came
back into the segment.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So Derek Stroup.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Joins me in studio, and he lives in Denver originally
from Alabama's we just talked about.
Speaker 3 (01:31):

going to talk about that in one second.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And Derek is playing well for the last time as
a Denver resident, Is that right?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
That's right?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
At Comedy Works downtown in Larimer Square this Friday at
seven thirty, nine five and Saturday at seven pm and
nine fifteen. And I'm guessing folks in your new place
might not understand Greeley jokes the way I do and
the way these audiences do.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
But where are you going?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, I am going to Astoria, New York. I'm going

not too far, you know, kind of wedged in between
Brooklyn and Manhattan there.
