Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
You are listening to the Monsters Mornings when we're already
on one on four point one. We have preempted trivia
for the fire that's gonna be the weekend of Ryan Holmes.
I cannot wait to hear what you did? Ryan? What
did you do?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Napped? Mostly?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I you told me before you did was kettle cord,
and that you only did that because I gave Angel
so much time. You felt like you got right.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Gave me four seconds. But you you go to break
you fifty two were fifty.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
All you had to tell me was that you napped
all weekends.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I knew there wasn't all what to say, There's I
did a lot. I went to the fest.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh did you? Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
See? I do think, well, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Tell me that the bell of the ball, how.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Did it go?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Tell me what you did till first? Starting off with
kettlecris could they screwed you over? Last week with kettle corn?
They moved screw me over?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
But they moved because of an event and it was
just I need like they didn't have things that I needed,
like power.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You didn't have power and
then they moved it. And when you move something like that.
People aren't used to going to a different spot. And
you were negative money.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You said has negative three hundred. That sounds like a screwing.
I don't know's it's not a screwing because normally I
would say no to that kind of thing. But because
the staff at the winter Park parks and wreck people
are so nice, I was like, Okay, didn't I will
do it. And so I, like I said, I normally
would have said no because I hate losing money. It's
just nothing worse in business than just a day where
(01:37):
you just work so hard and then you will come
up negative.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, it's not the goal. Yeah, that's not the that's
not the idea. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So this week is back to normal and I got
I got my other nephew back working for me again
because he had a stop for a little bit. Uh
because he was playing on the Lake Brandley football team.
Oh really yeah, so football's over for them and uh
so I got him back. It makes my life a
lot easier because that whole football season, Old Kod had
to work more and I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You know, I got employees, and so now they're going
into wrestling, right, football wrestling?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, My older nephew graduated high school. He was the wrestler.
So this my other nephew, Xander does he does. He
does band and football. I don't know how you how
you do both, that's quite unusual. Yeah, but he's very
good at both of them. And that I always find
that impressive because I was. I was good at banded,
and I always just assume, like the banned people, we
(02:32):
don't sports. So whenever like you can do both. I
always find that kind of dude fascinating. It's like when
I find comedians that are super into sports, and it's
like these two things don't feel like they go together,
but here we are. So Kelcorn is a great day,
beautiful day out there. If you don't, if you've never
been to the winter Park Farmers Market, give it a shot.
It's a nice little Saturday. It's right there by the
(02:52):
post office, big old field, lots of fun stuff. But
uh yeah, after that, I wanted to go to the
Bad Business beer Fest and check it out because I
like free things. I like two things. I like free
things and then being recognized as local celebrity Ryan Homes.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, did you wear a Ryan Homes T shirt at all?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Or an I wore my Ryan Homes outfit with my
monster hat's and it was good. I gotta tell you
I had. I had some really amazing interesting beers, and
I had some trash beers as well.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
But they're all free, all free. Do they do they
have like tip jars out or whatever? No, So this
literally is bad business.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Actually saw I actually saw Dan and Tom and I
was like, how's the how's the event going. They're like,
we have no idea. We don't sell tickets, so we
don't We can only tell by vibes.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well, I mean the the video that I saw, it
looked like it was successful.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, And so I saw them. I'll tell you the
best beer I had there is a beer can't buy.
It was very frustrated to learn this. There was a
I think they call themselves Brewers Anonymous. They're local like
brewery people that just like other home brewers, that all
like meet up and they discussed and they do recipes.
So they set up a tent. They were actually out
(04:08):
at the Science Center at their at the Science Center's
beer fest. And talked to them for a little while.
But they had butter beer, which I don't know if
you know what butter beer is, but the stuff made
up for Harry Potter, right, Right. They sell it at
Universal Studios, but you can't get an alcoholic version of
it at Universal Studios. Right. You can bring in your
own flash and add it later.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I always thought it wasn't even made to be alcoholic.
I thought it was because all they sell out of
the Universal it's like candy or something.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's like British people call root beer, so they call
it butter beer, you know. But this one was a
beer beer, like alcoholic butter beer, and it was straight
up the best thing I've ever drank in my life.
And I was like, Hey, how can I buy this?
Do you guys sell this anywhere? And they're like, nope,
we make it if you want to. If you want
to have this again, you have to get an entire
beer set up and give you the recipe. Will help
(04:55):
you out, but that's the only way you're going to
get this again. I was like, damn it. So that
was super frustrating because there's two things that I hate
when I when I get something so good that I
can't get it again, Like I had that with the haircut,
where I want to fly all the way back to
Germany just to get my hair cut right and then
this beer now is going to be with me for
the rest of my life.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So the beer festival was. It was near West End, right,
it was.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's a whole that whole sand street, that street like
right after holler back, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then it
takes up like two lanes all the way up to
the theater and all the way to West End. Yeah.
So it was it was great. The lines weren't too
crazy this year.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Good. Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You were able to get in and get out. But
by the time I got there, because I had to
do kettle corn everything pack up, I didn't get there
till three. So it starts at two ends at four.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Right in the middle.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
It's well yeah, but by the time I was getting stuff,
they're like, oh, we're out, we're out.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
But I saw it's a window, so like, like you said,
it's two to four and that's what it's all for.
But then then everyone switches and you can start buying stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So you didn't DJ on Saturday on.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Sunday, No, I've been the DJ for the Sulfa and sides.
If they've been doing it thirteen years I think I've
been the DJ for eight of them.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Okay. I also they had a kettle corn stand there,
and I don't normally, you know, mash the people's kettle
corn stand, but I swear to God, this is the
cleanest kettle corn stand. You learn some you learned something, well, okay,
so that's what and that's what I do. And my
wife made fun of me for this. But with my
kettle corn machine, the thing is literally thirty something years old,
(06:31):
right it is. It is black metal.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And when I when I clean it, I have to
sit there for like two hours at the end of
Saturday and sit there with a sander and I grind
out all the carbon. It's a pain in the ass
and I'm covered in black. I look terrible. They did
a whole shift of doing kettle corn and their machine
was clean, clean, clean, like like silver clean. And I'm like, so,
(06:54):
I'm like, I need to know. I never know how
you do that. Probably newer, No, it's not what. So
I went over there and I'm like, hey, guys, super
impressed by the way I do kettle corn myself a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know, I'm in the club.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I'm in the kettle corn club.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I hope you dropped that gym and this say, no,
we're not going to tell you.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, they wouldn't tell me what their stupid secret was,
and I got super mad at them.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh really yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It was like a little a lady and I'm assuming
her husband and I'm like, guys, you're you're set up
so clean. How do you keep it clean throughout the
whole day like this? I mean, it's honestly very impressive,
like we just used water and I'm like, okay, but like,
what are you doing? Like? And they wouldn't elaborate.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Further because again, you're the competition.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You've not the competition.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
No, no, no no, You've said every kettle corn uh
business is island to themselves. And so when you won't
roll up there and you want to be Ryan Holmes celebrity,
you already want to.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Did you drop the little jem?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
They've heard about you?
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yeah, I do kettle corn too. They know who they're
talking to. They're not going to give up.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well, that's messed up. I would tell people my seat
just so you know.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
If I if I went to your stand or their
stand or whatever, and I saw yours and yours was
was black, whatever, I would just think it's been used,
it's been seasoned. Yeah, like that's a real one. That's
a real one.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I will be honest with you. When you clean it
all the time, like that that makes the popcorn taste worse. Yeah,
like you kind of like you kind of have to
have a little bit of seasoning to it for sure.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
But I was just impressed by the shininess though. Also
at the same time, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I wouldn't worry as a as a consumer. I would
tell you if I saw yours and it's it's all
black and oh they use that, that's that's season that's
a good one.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah. No, it's just uh. And I've asked so many
kettlecorn people over time. I'm in a kettle corn Facebook
group and I'm always like, I'm like, how are you
guys clean your shoes? And these people are.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So you're in a kettle corn Facebook.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Oh yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not shocked at all.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, Well, I want what I really wanted to do
this weekend. They had Ayapka I think is the name
of it. Yeah, where it's the the Convention Center. Yeah,
and it's all the theme park stuff, but they have
Carney stuff there too, of course, and.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Of that when I had Party World, because we get
a lot of carnivals and stuff, and it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, there's there's new kettle corn technologies out there. People
were sending me the picture.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
We've been trying to get into that thing for Yeah,
we thought about it.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, yeah, I kind of forgot about it.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Yeah, this year snuck up on us. But I remember,
like typically in the years past, I would catch it
in the news and we'd bring it up.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh, it's amazing they've got because they got all stuff
all the way, these huge rides, they got the rides
and stuff. Yeah, it's it's it's a I'm probably a
multimillion billion dollar thing.

long ago that looked really cool. I was like, oh,

things maybe for next year. Yeah, probably sit down and

Oh wow, that's a Louisitton trunk and then one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
So back in the day that was like the epitome
of a fashion and style or.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Of letting people know that you were of wealth.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Right, and so if you look take it on like
a steamship.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
So you're coming across the country, you know, the continent
or the car, you know, across the Atlantic, and you're
you know, showing want of show in your status. And
then once you get to New York, you're taking a
train again. Uh you want to yeah, you get you're
showing your status with all that, so they are they
are kind of cool. Look, yeah, some of those vintage
ones like Ryan's shown, Yeah, those are those are the
(20:42):
ones that you'll get up into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
It's basically just a box. If you look at it.
This is a fancy, fancy box.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
But think of the of the of the work and
the craftsmanship. Those are boxes that were made in the
nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's crazy and they're still Oh my god, I think
she does.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What happened? Austin?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Austin?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
All right?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm working.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
The hell man.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You selling?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You just knocked the wall down.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Dumping dumpsters?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Oh well, Austin, is that what you do for a living?
To your dumpster man?
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Yeah, yes, sir, I went back. I used to be
a firefighter. I left just for medical purposes, so I'm
back dumping dumpsters.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
So we have a bunch of we had a bunch
of listers that dump dumpsters, and we.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Actually got dumping dumpsters. He's up in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, so what's the what's okay? Tell me what is
the biggest pain in the ass of dumping dumpsters? Austin.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Just people blocking dumpsters mainly, that's really it.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, and putting stuff in dumpsters like something I'm supposed to.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
You see, you see random things all the time. Man,
He's unthinkable thing.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Let me tell Let me tell you what we did
one time, and this is terrible, but we did it.
We had a you might you might have remembered this.
I don't know, but I'm just for the rest of
the audience. We had a bit that we did one
time and it was roadkill, right, So I had Savannah,
I think it was Tuttle, and I think it was
a couple other guys.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I wanted one of those shovels so bad.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And they did and they and they did a bit
where whoever got the most weight of roadkill won some
silly prize or something like three hundred bucks or something
like that from Stanley Shovels.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
It was all made up. It was Stanley Tooles. And
they had come out with, you know again the way
that you sell the bit. So they came out with
this amazing new shovels blah blah blah blah this or whatever,
and then you guys were gonna give away the shovels.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
But they had to read copy every time they picked
up the roadkill. Well they really did pick up the roadkill,
and like Savannah almost threw up every time because it
was this disgusting. So they brought all these carcasses back
to the radio station and then when the show was over,
they're like, what do you want us to do with
all these I don't know, just tow them in the dumpster.
(22:49):
So there was I mean, you know, like there was
half a bear.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
There was because people like getting up, people were rooting
for dunes. There were the people were rooting for different
because it was done but I think by Waight or something.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, I did it by weight. Yeah, so the Savannah one.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Yeah, so there were people that were dropping off roadkill here, dear, yeah,
to help Savannah out. And then all of that gets
thrown in the dumpster here in the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
So awesome. Imagine if you had to pick that up.
That's pretty disgusting.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Right, yeah, especially it sets over a couple of days
in the sun and summer heat. Oh yeah, yeah, we.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Didn't think that part out. Hey, how long you've been
listening to the.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Show, Austin, Oh, since at least twenty fourteen?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
There you go, well, we appreciate that, and then what
would you like to plug and promote and tell us about.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Oh, you know, we heard about a lot, but so
first responders. Man, I did it for a year and
a half. We see, you know, crazy unthinkable things. This weekend,
I saw that bad accident with that two year old,
and so you know, you can't get a step out
of your mind. Unfortunately, I never saw anything crazy like
pediatric wise, thankfully, but man, every day it's something bad.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And you know I heard people say that before I
met my wife, right, but now you know, I'm married
to a thirty year paramedic and she still has nightmares
to this day. Like PTSD is real. I mean when
you see, you know, an infant that has been you know,
I don't really tell you what happened, but like, like
like she saw, some things are horrible and they don't
make a lot of money and that stuff sticks in
(24:15):
their head forever. And you are so correct that that is.
And we don't think about that, you know, until you're
for me, until I knew someone that I'm like, wow,
this really has affected her for the rest of her life. Uh,
And you know the things you got, you know, the
horrific things you see. Okay, so how do you deal
with getting that stuff out of your head?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
To be honest, I don't have much trauma. Maybe it's
only been a year into it, but it's just nothing
really happened to me.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Like I said, I never had any pediatric stuff. I
have kids on my own, and if I had a
pediatric issue, I've probably been really messed up. But other
than that, just kind of just be in a good headspace.
Talk to your friends, make sure everyone's good. That really was.
I mean, fire service is a big brother and sister
type of family oriented thing. Is to stick with it.
Don't anybody. If you see someone down, talk to somebody
(25:05):
that's really it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
A lot of them drink a lot, you know, And
I know that sounds I'm not even trying to be funny.
I mean, it's that's what one way people deal with it,
you know, drinking a lot and do with it. And
they're some of the sweetest people. They're the most carrying
people in the world. But they've seen some horrible, horrific things.
So uh yeah, man, you make it make a very
good point. So think about your your first responders, because
they do a lot for us, and you don't think
about Angel question for Austin.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Austin, you just just in the process of our conversation
with you and then a bunch of our guys that
are texting. Then what would when you're working, are you
allowed to wear like anything you want?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Or do you have to wear? Do you guys got
like uniforms that you have to wear?
Speaker 6 (25:40):
It depends on the department, my area, where I'm at.
Where I was, we had a certain time Monday to Friday.
You had your class sees during this time of the
year where it's cooler, and then after five o'clock you
can wear T shirts and shorts. But if you're going
on a call, you had to wear your T shirt
and your pants. Glad to ram the station, you know,
hanging out, we can wear shorts and T shirt and stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right, buddy, Well listen, thank you for what you do.
We're gonna put you on hold. We'll get you one
of those which prize do you think you want to
take you with you?
Speaker 6 (26:08):

love it. It really is awesome. Now. I know we
got a couple of weeks, but there are a lot
of tickets still available. In every ticket that we sell,
they're gonna give a dollar to the car like a
cancer screening fund, which is very very nice of them.
But yeah, I'll be there. So if you see me,

All right, Austin, take care, man. We're gonna put you
on hold. We'll hook you up. I got a great,
really great story to tell you guys when we come back.

She just has like shorts on and a shirt that

I gotta tell you what. I want to catch up
with what you have any think, But I want to
get I want to get this story out because it's
it's kind of it's kind of interesting. So, uh, you guys,
remember a couple of weeks ago, we had comedian George
(27:50):
Wallace in here, Yes, now George Wallace. George Wallace came
in and was in for was it seven segments?
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Seven segments?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
The guy was absolutely not only did he invite Ryan
to headline for or not headline? I'm sorry to open
up for him to feature for him. That's what it was.
I'm sorry to feature for him. But then he after
he had Ryan feature, he kept texting me. First off,
he when he left, he texted me how much fun
he had. Then he texted me he goes, oh my god,
(28:19):
thank you for introducing me to Ryan. He did such
a great job. Then he texted me back and he
said he by the way, there were three other people
on thing. He was the best one. And then he
texted me and said, I'm leaving Orlando. I just enjoyed
you guys. I'm like, what a great guy, right, Yea. Now,
while I was talking to him that day, during during
one of the conversations we're having, you know, I did
my whole thing that I always do, you know. He
was telling me. I'm like, well, where are you gonna
(28:41):
be traveling? Where are you going? And he's like, well,
I'm going to I'm going to Egypt. I'm like, oh, Egypt,
they only have like a pyramids over there, right, and
he started laughing. He goes, oh, man, they got buildings.
They got buildings. I'll show you when I get over there.
I'm like, okay, sure, I'll be Damn. I want to
somehow be able to have this kind of attention to
detail and attention to to to people like that. Yesterday,
(29:04):
I'm sitting there, it's watching watching the movie that whatever
they Maryland want to watch, and I get a text
message like it's it's a it's a video. Now I'm
gonna play a little bit of it. It's like two
minutes long, and it's it's George Wallace and he's outside
on the balcony of the hotel that he's at and
he promised me he would show me, right, so he's
(29:25):
showing me and this is This is George Wallace remembering
that he had this little conversation with me, and taking
time while he's in Egypt to send me this. I'll
play a little bit of it. Okay, it's two am
in the morning here in Cairo. I'm not to Saint
Regis's Hotel, as you can see, pretty big hotel on
both sides.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
And that is the now River Renter in the middle
of the place, the world's longest running river.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
There's only two rivers that run back, but run of
north instead of south.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
That's the Nile in Carol, Egypt and the Saint John's
River in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Toldo, so look at the people down at two o'clock
in the morning, and.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
He goes on, and I mean he goes He shows
me the entire hote. He's got a beautiful, like sweet
hotel room and just trying to prove to me that
there are buildings in Egypt that people don't live in.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Uh in the.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Pyramids, which was you know, obviously I was, oh, you
got the video, Yeah, I hacked your phone. Well that's fine. Yeah,
I mean what does it take to be that thoughtful
and that good at remembering people's names and remembering that
he told me he was going to do that. I
had forgotten. I didn't think he was really going to
show me his hotel room and show me the building.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Nice ass hotel room too.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Oh well, I mean he's you know yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, yeah, and you know, because he's so down and chilled,
you know whatever, he's actually he's super successful at the
same time too. And that that view where he shows
down to the pool, yeah, that's I mean, that's in Cairo, Egypt.
I didn't know Kiro like that.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I didn't either. I thought it was like you see
when you see.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Do you think it was like Indiana Jones?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Did?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
I did?
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, I did, And he wanted to prove to me
that it was it, which was funny. And I, by
the way, I did text him back. I said, George,
I can't believe you remembered the conversation. Thank you so much,
associweet of you. By the way, our audience demanded that
you be fast tracked into the Monster Guest Hall of Fame.
We are ordering the plaque, you know, as we speak,
and we've already ordered the plaque. When it comes in,
(31:23):
I'm gonna give you a call, give you a text.
I'll show it to you if you want to call
a show and accept you know the you know, the
the the induction induction of the Hall of Fame. And
he sends me back on. And when he sent me back,
he sent me back, Uh.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Don't put me on the top row.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
No, No, two black thumbs up, two hearts and two
pieces of bacon, which I don't know what that means,
but uh. And he said, love you brother.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I'm what, what a classy.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
That's a good guy, good guy. That's old school man.
That's again.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I think part of that also is one of the
things that we were noticed. The guy's taking copious notes
while he's here, and he's writing these things down, and
I'm sure that he reviews them afterwards. You know what
I'm saying, I or somebody does for him.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
You know, you know, he wasn't writing notes when he
was in there, Angel, He didn't writ He remembered everybody's names,
he didn't write him down.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
No, no, I think the name thing he knew going in.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
I'm saying, I'm just writing, yeah, like just little you
know whatever shorthand he has of just little things that
stand out to him, you know, or or by the
same token, it could be that incredible to someone who's
traveled the world like he has. And he runs into
a guy who's like, who thinks that that Cairo doesn't
have buildings?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Bill, that's part of.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
His I say that everybody were crazy, but that I'm like, like,
they live in pyramids, right, like, no, man, pyramids, they
got buildings over there. He was laughing, but he wanted
to prove it to me, and he sends me that
that text.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
He sent me like fourteen thirteen to fourteen photos of
him just like touring museum in Egypt. He said, I
wish y'all could join me on the trip tomorrow. I'm
seeing the great periods, George. I'll do a guest spot
for free. I'll flop you go to Vietnam, I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
What does it take for a person to be that
though cares? I mean that is he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's a man who loves what he does.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
He barely knows, he said a day with us, but
he barely thought it was a positive experience.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
He cares.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, and a lot of the comedians in my experience
are self hating psychopaths. He genuinely enjoys what he does. Yeah,
you know what I mean, Like he loves every bit
of it. He he feels blessed, he talks about it,
he knows how lucky he is to be able to
do it, and I think he genuinely embraces it.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
So when you do, when you love that something like that,
you're gonna you're gonna put your all into it. And
I'm sure he's he's He talked about how he got
a lot of tricks as far as the name stuff
and doing sales and whatnot. But uh, you know, I
could see through ungenuine people. I've never met a more
genuine person.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I think he's very really genuine, like like like just
a super nice dude.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah. Every comic I've talked to since then all have
great stories of Ryan.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
I texted this guy. I always listen to his Ryan
H twenty am. And it's that noisy Cairo is like
New York, dude. It's in the sense of it's a
city that never sleeps.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I'll be honest with you, though I've only heard bad
things about like traveling there, So I'm curious. I'm curious
for to see what his experience is because her people,
people who go to Egypt, they leave there like like
going like, don't ever go to Egypt.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
If you go to if you go to our our instagram,
it's the Monsters of the Morning Instagram. You can see
the entire two minute and thirty second video, and he
talks about how he's enjoying himself there. He shows the
entire I mean, he's not cracking a lot of jokes.
He's just being George Walla, just being a cool dude.
And and he and he told me he would prove
to me they have buildings in Egypt, and uh, that's
(34:43):
what he was doing. I just thought that was pretty
damn amazing. And I need to be I need to
get I need to get like that man better. At Uh,
you were remembering things and being thoughtful, because that's you know,
that's a genuine thoughtful thing.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
And so he said thoughtful.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
You're either thoughtful or you're not thoughtful. Yeah, you're like,
you're not going to teach yourself to be thoughtful.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Now, that's the hard part for me is like this
stuff does not come naturally for me.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Yeah, for some people, that's just that's just inequality that
they have. That like the thing that you can do,
like for to be more detail oriented. There's things that
you can use r us like your notes app on
your phone, right, you can start using that and journaling
your day that way stuff, I mean, and use the
technology to that. But I think thoughtfulness is the kind
of one of those things that comes along with like
kindness or stuff, or one of those things where it's
(35:27):
a trait that you have.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well. Comedian George Wallace is probably one of the nicest
people we have met. Some people saying, who are you
talking about? I just tuned in. We're talking about George Wallace,
who was in here, and he sent me a video
of him in Egypt just to prove that there were
buildings there. Uh, you know, which is super nice. And
we did we did all decide that he should be
in the Monster Guest Hall of Fame. So there's another
(35:49):
one that we fast tracked in. Uh and uh.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
He appreciated and you hit seven segments with us on
a Friday. That's uh, you know, yeah, that's a sure way.
I think it was a thirdday, wasn't it was Thursday.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Thursday because Ryan was able to be there Friday night
and Saturday and feature for him, so and and he
loved what you did.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I mean, he said, and this is this is my problem.
This is the thing I need to get over in
my life. And it's very difficult. So it's like somebody
like George Wall he was He was actually texting me
over the weekend as well.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I hope you're not doing him what you do to us,
which is what ghost ghosting texts are leaving us on.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
The way.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
I'm not ghosting him on purpose. What it is is
then like my my brain goes into survival mode, Like
I start freaking out. I'm like, oh my god, he's
texting me. Did he mean to text me? Should I
text him back? And then I and then I'm like
sitting there having like a conversation in my head for
an hour, going like what do I send back? I wrote,
I wrote five things, deleted it, and I'm like coming back,
it felt like it kind of felt like I was dating,
(36:49):
Like I say, this sounds like he's trying to talk
to a woman. I don't want to scare Georgian. I
just want to spook exactly. So I'm like, I'm trying
to come up with a perfect I'm then asking chat GPT.
I'm like, here's what he said. I know that's the thing.
I am a genuinely nice person. I am are you.
It's so hard for me to get on this thoughtful
(37:11):
train because I overthink it's you, and then I end
up just freezing and doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Just your genuine you, don't you don't have to go
through chatchy BT to get the same I have to
be you and he will appreciate.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
That's a relationship that you should try to like foster
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
And I think I messed it up being cool. I
forge it's too long to be fair first message.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I know it's hard for you, Ryan, but you just
a cool dude. I know, I know, bro be cool.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
There is no bro be cool the most of them.
It's so funny. If you meet me out like you
met me on Saturday at the beer fest, I'm a
couple of drinks and it turns theism down, it turns
the crazy so I can have a conversation. But do
you see how if I'm if I'm doing this like
with like a sober person, and then it's it's somebody
I respect, and like there you know, career wise, I you.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Do to have beers to texted back?
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Is that what you're saying? One hundred God you're married,
because how you doing?
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Can you imagine being a woman have to deal with that?
Speaker 4 (38:11):
That's what I'm saying, Thank god you're married, because this
sounds exhausted, Like how do you still have hair?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Like terrible? Stress you out? Man?
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
No, I used to. I said, like because with dating
you have you have to have be cool bro in
you like if you it's the weirdest thing. If you
just like somebody, you could freak them out. So that's
you gotta like be like what's up?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I'm not even see how respectful it is like for
George Wallace to like text someone back right or way everything.
See how that's that's appreciated When you dole text back
and you it stands out. It's like I think guy's
a dick.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
But I know, and I don't want to be a dick.
But like I'm mentally a nightmare, so I needed I
need to Is there a class for this? I don't know.
It feels like everybody else got some kind of etiquete
classes that I didn't get.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Kylie Blake to teach you how to be cool.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
I'm not the person you ask to be cool.

I cannot wait to hear what you did? Ryan? What
did you do?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Napped? Mostly?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I you told me before you did was kettle cord,
and that you only did that because I gave Angel
so much time. You felt like you got right.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Gave me four seconds. But you you go to break
you fifty two were fifty.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
All you had to tell me was that you napped
all weekends.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I knew there wasn't all what to say, There's I
did a lot. I went to the fest.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh did you? Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
See? I do think, well, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Tell me that the bell of the ball, how.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Did it go?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Tell me what you did till first? Starting off with
kettlecris could they screwed you over? Last week with kettle corn?
They moved screw me over?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
But they moved because of an event and it was
just I need like they didn't have things that I needed,
like power.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You didn't have power and
then they moved it. And when you move something like that.
People aren't used to going to a different spot. And
you were negative money.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You said has negative three hundred. That sounds like a screwing.
I don't know's it's not a screwing because normally I
would say no to that kind of thing. But because
the staff at the winter Park parks and wreck people
are so nice, I was like, Okay, didn't I will
do it. And so I, like I said, I normally
would have said no because I hate losing money. It's
just nothing worse in business than just a day where
(01:37):
you just work so hard and then you will come
up negative.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, it's not the goal. Yeah, that's not the that's
not the idea. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So this week is back to normal and I got
I got my other nephew back working for me again
because he had a stop for a little bit. Uh
because he was playing on the Lake Brandley football team.
Oh really yeah, so football's over for them and uh
so I got him back. It makes my life a
lot easier because that whole football season, Old Kod had
to work more and I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You know, I got employees, and so now they're going
into wrestling, right, football wrestling?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, My older nephew graduated high school. He was the wrestler.
So this my other nephew, Xander does he does. He
does band and football. I don't know how you how
you do both, that's quite unusual. Yeah, but he's very
good at both of them. And that I always find
that impressive because I was. I was good at banded,
and I always just assume, like the banned people, we
(02:32):
don't sports. So whenever like you can do both. I
always find that kind of dude fascinating. It's like when
I find comedians that are super into sports, and it's
like these two things don't feel like they go together,
but here we are. So Kelcorn is a great day,
beautiful day out there. If you don't, if you've never
been to the winter Park Farmers Market, give it a shot.
It's a nice little Saturday. It's right there by the
(02:52):
post office, big old field, lots of fun stuff. But
uh yeah, after that, I wanted to go to the
Bad Business beer Fest and check it out because I
like free things. I like two things. I like free
things and then being recognized as local celebrity Ryan Homes.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, did you wear a Ryan Homes T shirt at all?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Or an I wore my Ryan Homes outfit with my
monster hat's and it was good. I gotta tell you
I had. I had some really amazing interesting beers, and
I had some trash beers as well.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
But they're all free, all free. Do they do they
have like tip jars out or whatever? No, So this
literally is bad business.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Actually saw I actually saw Dan and Tom and I
was like, how's the how's the event going. They're like,
we have no idea. We don't sell tickets, so we
don't We can only tell by vibes.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well, I mean the the video that I saw, it
looked like it was successful.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, And so I saw them. I'll tell you the
best beer I had there is a beer can't buy.
It was very frustrated to learn this. There was a
I think they call themselves Brewers Anonymous. They're local like
brewery people that just like other home brewers, that all
like meet up and they discussed and they do recipes.
So they set up a tent. They were actually out
(04:08):
at the Science Center at their at the Science Center's
beer fest. And talked to them for a little while.
But they had butter beer, which I don't know if
you know what butter beer is, but the stuff made
up for Harry Potter, right, Right. They sell it at
Universal Studios, but you can't get an alcoholic version of
it at Universal Studios. Right. You can bring in your
own flash and add it later.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I always thought it wasn't even made to be alcoholic.
I thought it was because all they sell out of
the Universal it's like candy or something.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's like British people call root beer, so they call
it butter beer, you know. But this one was a
beer beer, like alcoholic butter beer, and it was straight
up the best thing I've ever drank in my life.
And I was like, Hey, how can I buy this?
Do you guys sell this anywhere? And they're like, nope,
we make it if you want to. If you want
to have this again, you have to get an entire
beer set up and give you the recipe. Will help
(04:55):
you out, but that's the only way you're going to
get this again. I was like, damn it. So that
was super frustrating because there's two things that I hate
when I when I get something so good that I
can't get it again, Like I had that with the haircut,
where I want to fly all the way back to
Germany just to get my hair cut right and then
this beer now is going to be with me for
the rest of my life.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So the beer festival was. It was near West End, right,
it was.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's a whole that whole sand street, that street like
right after holler back, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then it
takes up like two lanes all the way up to
the theater and all the way to West End. Yeah.
So it was it was great. The lines weren't too
crazy this year.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Good. Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You were able to get in and get out. But
by the time I got there, because I had to
do kettle corn everything pack up, I didn't get there
till three. So it starts at two ends at four.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Right in the middle.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
It's well yeah, but by the time I was getting stuff,
they're like, oh, we're out, we're out.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
But I saw it's a window, so like, like you said,
it's two to four and that's what it's all for.
But then then everyone switches and you can start buying stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So you didn't DJ on Saturday on.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Sunday, No, I've been the DJ for the Sulfa and sides.
If they've been doing it thirteen years I think I've
been the DJ for eight of them.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Okay. I also they had a kettle corn stand there,
and I don't normally, you know, mash the people's kettle
corn stand, but I swear to God, this is the
cleanest kettle corn stand. You learn some you learned something, well, okay,
so that's what and that's what I do. And my
wife made fun of me for this. But with my
kettle corn machine, the thing is literally thirty something years old,
(06:31):
right it is. It is black metal.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And when I when I clean it, I have to
sit there for like two hours at the end of
Saturday and sit there with a sander and I grind
out all the carbon. It's a pain in the ass
and I'm covered in black. I look terrible. They did
a whole shift of doing kettle corn and their machine
was clean, clean, clean, like like silver clean. And I'm like, so,
(06:54):
I'm like, I need to know. I never know how
you do that. Probably newer, No, it's not what. So
I went over there and I'm like, hey, guys, super
impressed by the way I do kettle corn myself a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know, I'm in the club.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I'm in the kettle corn club.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I hope you dropped that gym and this say, no,
we're not going to tell you.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, they wouldn't tell me what their stupid secret was,
and I got super mad at them.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh really yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It was like a little a lady and I'm assuming
her husband and I'm like, guys, you're you're set up
so clean. How do you keep it clean throughout the
whole day like this? I mean, it's honestly very impressive,
like we just used water and I'm like, okay, but like,
what are you doing? Like? And they wouldn't elaborate.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Further because again, you're the competition.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You've not the competition.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
No, no, no no, You've said every kettle corn uh
business is island to themselves. And so when you won't
roll up there and you want to be Ryan Holmes celebrity,
you already want to.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Did you drop the little jem?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
They've heard about you?
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yeah, I do kettle corn too. They know who they're
talking to. They're not going to give up.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well, that's messed up. I would tell people my seat
just so you know.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
If I if I went to your stand or their
stand or whatever, and I saw yours and yours was
was black, whatever, I would just think it's been used,
it's been seasoned. Yeah, like that's a real one. That's
a real one.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I will be honest with you. When you clean it
all the time, like that that makes the popcorn taste worse. Yeah,
like you kind of like you kind of have to
have a little bit of seasoning to it for sure.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
But I was just impressed by the shininess though. Also
at the same time, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I wouldn't worry as a as a consumer. I would
tell you if I saw yours and it's it's all
black and oh they use that, that's that's season that's
a good one.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah. No, it's just uh. And I've asked so many
kettlecorn people over time. I'm in a kettle corn Facebook
group and I'm always like, I'm like, how are you
guys clean your shoes? And these people are.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So you're in a kettle corn Facebook.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Oh yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not shocked at all.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, Well, I want what I really wanted to do
this weekend. They had Ayapka I think is the name
of it. Yeah, where it's the the Convention Center. Yeah,
and it's all the theme park stuff, but they have
Carney stuff there too, of course, and.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Of that when I had Party World, because we get
a lot of carnivals and stuff, and it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, there's there's new kettle corn technologies out there. People
were sending me the picture.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
We've been trying to get into that thing for Yeah,
we thought about it.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, yeah, I kind of forgot about it.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Yeah, this year snuck up on us. But I remember,
like typically in the years past, I would catch it
in the news and we'd bring it up.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh, it's amazing they've got because they got all stuff
all the way, these huge rides, they got the rides
and stuff. Yeah, it's it's it's a I'm probably a
multimillion billion dollar thing.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
And they had they had a surf expo not too
long ago that looked really cool. I was like, oh,
that would be cool to That's probably one of the
things maybe for next year. Yeah, probably sit down and

They sell something different. A lot of French companies out
there mostly known for champagne. Russ did have some Cabassier,
which was a favorite of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Speaker 2 (18:38):

It's purely for status. Dollars for a trunk.

a steamship.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
So you're coming across the country, you know, the continent
or the car, you know, across the Atlantic, and you're
you know, showing want of show in your status. And
then once you get to New York, you're taking a
train again. Uh you want to yeah, you get you're
showing your status with all that, so they are they
are kind of cool. Look, yeah, some of those vintage
ones like Ryan's shown, Yeah, those are those are the
(20:42):
ones that you'll get up into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
It's basically just a box. If you look at it.
This is a fancy, fancy box.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
But think of the of the of the work and
the craftsmanship. Those are boxes that were made in the
nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's crazy and they're still Oh my god, I think
she does.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What happened? Austin?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Austin?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
All right?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm working.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
The hell man.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You selling?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You just knocked the wall down.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Dumping dumpsters?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Oh well, Austin, is that what you do for a living?
To your dumpster man?
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Yeah, yes, sir, I went back. I used to be
a firefighter. I left just for medical purposes, so I'm
back dumping dumpsters.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
So we have a bunch of we had a bunch
of listers that dump dumpsters, and we.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Actually got dumping dumpsters. He's up in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, so what's the what's okay? Tell me what is
the biggest pain in the ass of dumping dumpsters? Austin.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Just people blocking dumpsters mainly, that's really it.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, and putting stuff in dumpsters like something I'm supposed to.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
You see, you see random things all the time. Man,
He's unthinkable thing.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Let me tell Let me tell you what we did
one time, and this is terrible, but we did it.
We had a you might you might have remembered this.
I don't know, but I'm just for the rest of
the audience. We had a bit that we did one
time and it was roadkill, right, So I had Savannah,
I think it was Tuttle, and I think it was
a couple other guys.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I wanted one of those shovels so bad.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And they did and they and they did a bit
where whoever got the most weight of roadkill won some
silly prize or something like three hundred bucks or something
like that from Stanley Shovels.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
It was all made up. It was Stanley Tooles. And
they had come out with, you know again the way
that you sell the bit. So they came out with
this amazing new shovels blah blah blah blah this or whatever,
and then you guys were gonna give away the shovels.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
But they had to read copy every time they picked
up the roadkill. Well they really did pick up the roadkill,
and like Savannah almost threw up every time because it
was this disgusting. So they brought all these carcasses back
to the radio station and then when the show was over,
they're like, what do you want us to do with
all these I don't know, just tow them in the dumpster.
(22:49):
So there was I mean, you know, like there was
half a bear.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
There was because people like getting up, people were rooting
for dunes. There were the people were rooting for different
because it was done but I think by Waight or something.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, I did it by weight. Yeah, so the Savannah one.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Yeah, so there were people that were dropping off roadkill here, dear, yeah,
to help Savannah out. And then all of that gets
thrown in the dumpster here in the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
So awesome. Imagine if you had to pick that up.
That's pretty disgusting.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Right, yeah, especially it sets over a couple of days
in the sun and summer heat. Oh yeah, yeah, we.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Didn't think that part out. Hey, how long you've been
listening to the.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Show, Austin, Oh, since at least twenty fourteen?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
There you go, well, we appreciate that, and then what
would you like to plug and promote and tell us about.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Oh, you know, we heard about a lot, but so
first responders. Man, I did it for a year and
a half. We see, you know, crazy unthinkable things. This weekend,
I saw that bad accident with that two year old,
and so you know, you can't get a step out
of your mind. Unfortunately, I never saw anything crazy like
pediatric wise, thankfully, but man, every day it's something bad.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And you know I heard people say that before I
met my wife, right, but now you know, I'm married
to a thirty year paramedic and she still has nightmares
to this day. Like PTSD is real. I mean when
you see, you know, an infant that has been you know,
I don't really tell you what happened, but like, like
like she saw, some things are horrible and they don't
make a lot of money and that stuff sticks in
(24:15):
their head forever. And you are so correct that that is.
And we don't think about that, you know, until you're
for me, until I knew someone that I'm like, wow,
this really has affected her for the rest of her life. Uh,
And you know the things you got, you know, the
horrific things you see. Okay, so how do you deal
with getting that stuff out of your head?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
To be honest, I don't have much trauma. Maybe it's
only been a year into it, but it's just nothing
really happened to me.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Like I said, I never had any pediatric stuff. I
have kids on my own, and if I had a
pediatric issue, I've probably been really messed up. But other
than that, just kind of just be in a good headspace.
Talk to your friends, make sure everyone's good. That really was.
I mean, fire service is a big brother and sister
type of family oriented thing. Is to stick with it.
Don't anybody. If you see someone down, talk to somebody
(25:05):
that's really it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
A lot of them drink a lot, you know, And
I know that sounds I'm not even trying to be funny.
I mean, it's that's what one way people deal with it,
you know, drinking a lot and do with it. And
they're some of the sweetest people. They're the most carrying
people in the world. But they've seen some horrible, horrific things.
So uh yeah, man, you make it make a very
good point. So think about your your first responders, because
they do a lot for us, and you don't think
about Angel question for Austin.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Austin, you just just in the process of our conversation
with you and then a bunch of our guys that
are texting. Then what would when you're working, are you
allowed to wear like anything you want?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Or do you have to wear? Do you guys got
like uniforms that you have to wear?
Speaker 6 (25:40):
It depends on the department, my area, where I'm at.
Where I was, we had a certain time Monday to Friday.
You had your class sees during this time of the
year where it's cooler, and then after five o'clock you
can wear T shirts and shorts. But if you're going
on a call, you had to wear your T shirt
and your pants. Glad to ram the station, you know,
hanging out, we can wear shorts and T shirt and stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right, buddy, Well listen, thank you for what you do.
We're gonna put you on hold. We'll get you one
of those which prize do you think you want to
take you with you?
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Thank My mom's transfering orchestra trying to make it every
your things. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Trans Hiberian orchesd. Yeah, you get those tickets. You're gonna
love it. It really is awesome. Now. I know we
got a couple of weeks, but there are a lot
of tickets still available. In every ticket that we sell,
they're gonna give a dollar to the car like a
cancer screening fund, which is very very nice of them.
But yeah, I'll be there. So if you see me,

Speaker 6 (26:29):
Okay, yeah, I will thank you guys so much.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
All right, Austin, take care, man. We're gonna put you
on hold. We'll hook you up. I got a great,
really great story to tell you guys when we come back.

really great story about a text I got yesterday. I know,

Speaker 2 (27:28):
She just has like shorts on and a shirt that
I've never seen her like that. You look good, it

I gotta tell you what. I want to catch up
with what you have any think, But I want to
get I want to get this story out because it's
it's kind of it's kind of interesting. So, uh, you guys,
remember a couple of weeks ago, we had comedian George
(27:50):
Wallace in here, Yes, now George Wallace. George Wallace came
in and was in for was it seven segments?
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Seven segments?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
The guy was absolutely not only did he invite Ryan
to headline for or not headline? I'm sorry to open
up for him to feature for him. That's what it was.
I'm sorry to feature for him. But then he after
he had Ryan feature, he kept texting me. First off,
he when he left, he texted me how much fun
he had. Then he texted me he goes, oh my god,
(28:19):
thank you for introducing me to Ryan. He did such
a great job. Then he texted me back and he
said he by the way, there were three other people
on thing. He was the best one. And then he
texted me and said, I'm leaving Orlando. I just enjoyed
you guys. I'm like, what a great guy, right, Yea. Now,
while I was talking to him that day, during during
one of the conversations we're having, you know, I did
my whole thing that I always do, you know. He
was telling me. I'm like, well, where are you gonna
(28:41):
be traveling? Where are you going? And he's like, well,
I'm going to I'm going to Egypt. I'm like, oh, Egypt,
they only have like a pyramids over there, right, and
he started laughing. He goes, oh, man, they got buildings.
They got buildings. I'll show you when I get over there.
I'm like, okay, sure, I'll be Damn. I want to
somehow be able to have this kind of attention to
detail and attention to to to people like that. Yesterday,
(29:04):
I'm sitting there, it's watching watching the movie that whatever
they Maryland want to watch, and I get a text
message like it's it's a it's a video. Now I'm
gonna play a little bit of it. It's like two
minutes long, and it's it's George Wallace and he's outside
on the balcony of the hotel that he's at and
he promised me he would show me, right, so he's
(29:25):
showing me and this is This is George Wallace remembering
that he had this little conversation with me, and taking
time while he's in Egypt to send me this. I'll
play a little bit of it. Okay, it's two am
in the morning here in Cairo. I'm not to Saint
Regis's Hotel, as you can see, pretty big hotel on
both sides.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
And that is the now River Renter in the middle
of the place, the world's longest running river.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
There's only two rivers that run back, but run of
north instead of south.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
That's the Nile in Carol, Egypt and the Saint John's
River in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Toldo, so look at the people down at two o'clock
in the morning, and.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
He goes on, and I mean he goes He shows
me the entire hote. He's got a beautiful, like sweet
hotel room and just trying to prove to me that
there are buildings in Egypt that people don't live in.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Uh in the.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Pyramids, which was you know, obviously I was, oh, you
got the video, Yeah, I hacked your phone. Well that's fine. Yeah,
I mean what does it take to be that thoughtful
and that good at remembering people's names and remembering that
he told me he was going to do that. I
had forgotten. I didn't think he was really going to
show me his hotel room and show me the building.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Nice ass hotel room too.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Oh well, I mean he's you know yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, yeah, and you know, because he's so down and chilled,
you know whatever, he's actually he's super successful at the
same time too. And that that view where he shows
down to the pool, yeah, that's I mean, that's in Cairo, Egypt.
I didn't know Kiro like that.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I didn't either. I thought it was like you see
when you see.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Do you think it was like Indiana Jones?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Did?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
I did?
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, I did, And he wanted to prove to me
that it was it, which was funny. And I, by
the way, I did text him back. I said, George,
I can't believe you remembered the conversation. Thank you so much,
associweet of you. By the way, our audience demanded that
you be fast tracked into the Monster Guest Hall of Fame.
We are ordering the plaque, you know, as we speak,
and we've already ordered the plaque. When it comes in,
(31:23):
I'm gonna give you a call, give you a text.
I'll show it to you if you want to call
a show and accept you know the you know, the
the the induction induction of the Hall of Fame. And
he sends me back on. And when he sent me back,
he sent me back, Uh.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Don't put me on the top row.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
No, No, two black thumbs up, two hearts and two
pieces of bacon, which I don't know what that means,
but uh. And he said, love you brother.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I'm what, what a classy.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
That's a good guy, good guy. That's old school man.
That's again.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I think part of that also is one of the
things that we were noticed. The guy's taking copious notes
while he's here, and he's writing these things down, and
I'm sure that he reviews them afterwards. You know what
I'm saying, I or somebody does for him.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
You know, you know, he wasn't writing notes when he
was in there, Angel, He didn't writ He remembered everybody's names,
he didn't write him down.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
No, no, I think the name thing he knew going in.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
I'm saying, I'm just writing, yeah, like just little you
know whatever shorthand he has of just little things that
stand out to him, you know, or or by the
same token, it could be that incredible to someone who's
traveled the world like he has. And he runs into
a guy who's like, who thinks that that Cairo doesn't
have buildings?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Bill, that's part of.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
His I say that everybody were crazy, but that I'm like, like,
they live in pyramids, right, like, no, man, pyramids, they
got buildings over there. He was laughing, but he wanted
to prove it to me, and he sends me that
that text.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
He sent me like fourteen thirteen to fourteen photos of
him just like touring museum in Egypt. He said, I
wish y'all could join me on the trip tomorrow. I'm
seeing the great periods, George. I'll do a guest spot
for free. I'll flop you go to Vietnam, I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
What does it take for a person to be that
though cares? I mean that is he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's a man who loves what he does.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
He barely knows, he said a day with us, but
he barely thought it was a positive experience.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
He cares.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, and a lot of the comedians in my experience
are self hating psychopaths. He genuinely enjoys what he does. Yeah,
you know what I mean, Like he loves every bit
of it. He he feels blessed, he talks about it,
he knows how lucky he is to be able to
do it, and I think he genuinely embraces it.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
So when you do, when you love that something like that,
you're gonna you're gonna put your all into it. And
I'm sure he's he's He talked about how he got
a lot of tricks as far as the name stuff
and doing sales and whatnot. But uh, you know, I
could see through ungenuine people. I've never met a more
genuine person.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I think he's very really genuine, like like like just
a super nice dude.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah. Every comic I've talked to since then all have
great stories of Ryan.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
I texted this guy. I always listen to his Ryan
H twenty am. And it's that noisy Cairo is like
New York, dude. It's in the sense of it's a
city that never sleeps.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I'll be honest with you, though I've only heard bad
things about like traveling there, So I'm curious. I'm curious
for to see what his experience is because her people,
people who go to Egypt, they leave there like like
going like, don't ever go to Egypt.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
If you go to if you go to our our instagram,
it's the Monsters of the Morning Instagram. You can see
the entire two minute and thirty second video, and he
talks about how he's enjoying himself there. He shows the
entire I mean, he's not cracking a lot of jokes.
He's just being George Walla, just being a cool dude.
And and he and he told me he would prove
to me they have buildings in Egypt, and uh, that's
(34:43):
what he was doing. I just thought that was pretty
damn amazing. And I need to be I need to
get I need to get like that man better. At Uh,
you were remembering things and being thoughtful, because that's you know,
that's a genuine thoughtful thing.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
And so he said thoughtful.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
You're either thoughtful or you're not thoughtful. Yeah, you're like,
you're not going to teach yourself to be thoughtful.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Now, that's the hard part for me is like this
stuff does not come naturally for me.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Yeah, for some people, that's just that's just inequality that
they have. That like the thing that you can do,
like for to be more detail oriented. There's things that
you can use r us like your notes app on
your phone, right, you can start using that and journaling
your day that way stuff, I mean, and use the
technology to that. But I think thoughtfulness is the kind
of one of those things that comes along with like
kindness or stuff, or one of those things where it's
(35:27):
a trait that you have.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well. Comedian George Wallace is probably one of the nicest
people we have met. Some people saying, who are you
talking about? I just tuned in. We're talking about George Wallace,
who was in here, and he sent me a video
of him in Egypt just to prove that there were
buildings there. Uh, you know, which is super nice. And
we did we did all decide that he should be
in the Monster Guest Hall of Fame. So there's another
(35:49):
one that we fast tracked in. Uh and uh.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
He appreciated and you hit seven segments with us on
a Friday. That's uh, you know, yeah, that's a sure way.
I think it was a thirdday, wasn't it was Thursday.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Thursday because Ryan was able to be there Friday night
and Saturday and feature for him, so and and he
loved what you did.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I mean, he said, and this is this is my problem.
This is the thing I need to get over in
my life. And it's very difficult. So it's like somebody
like George Wall he was He was actually texting me
over the weekend as well.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I hope you're not doing him what you do to us,
which is what ghost ghosting texts are leaving us on.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
The way.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
I'm not ghosting him on purpose. What it is is
then like my my brain goes into survival mode, Like
I start freaking out. I'm like, oh my god, he's
texting me. Did he mean to text me? Should I
text him back? And then I and then I'm like
sitting there having like a conversation in my head for
an hour, going like what do I send back? I wrote,
I wrote five things, deleted it, and I'm like coming back,
it felt like it kind of felt like I was dating,
(36:49):
Like I say, this sounds like he's trying to talk
to a woman. I don't want to scare Georgian. I
just want to spook exactly. So I'm like, I'm trying
to come up with a perfect I'm then asking chat GPT.
I'm like, here's what he said. I know that's the thing.
I am a genuinely nice person. I am are you.
It's so hard for me to get on this thoughtful
(37:11):
train because I overthink it's you, and then I end
up just freezing and doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Just your genuine you, don't you don't have to go
through chatchy BT to get the same I have to
be you and he will appreciate.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
That's a relationship that you should try to like foster
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
And I think I messed it up being cool. I
forge it's too long to be fair first message.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I know it's hard for you, Ryan, but you just
a cool dude. I know, I know, bro be cool.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
There is no bro be cool the most of them.
It's so funny. If you meet me out like you
met me on Saturday at the beer fest, I'm a
couple of drinks and it turns theism down, it turns
the crazy so I can have a conversation. But do
you see how if I'm if I'm doing this like
with like a sober person, and then it's it's somebody
I respect, and like there you know, career wise, I you.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Do to have beers to texted back?
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Is that what you're saying? One hundred God you're married,
because how you doing?
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Can you imagine being a woman have to deal with that?
Speaker 4 (38:11):
That's what I'm saying, Thank god you're married, because this
sounds exhausted, Like how do you still have hair?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Like terrible? Stress you out? Man?
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
No, I used to. I said, like because with dating
you have you have to have be cool bro in
you like if you it's the weirdest thing. If you
just like somebody, you could freak them out. So that's
you gotta like be like what's up?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I'm not even see how respectful it is like for
George Wallace to like text someone back right or way everything.
See how that's that's appreciated When you dole text back
and you it stands out. It's like I think guy's
a dick.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
But I know, and I don't want to be a dick.
But like I'm mentally a nightmare, so I needed I
need to Is there a class for this? I don't know.
It feels like everybody else got some kind of etiquete
classes that I didn't get.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Kylie Blake to teach you how to be cool.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
I'm not the person you ask to be cool.
