Get in the batcave, Michael, those new red bull uh
or something.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
I can't hear you.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
I'm just a bains at what you're thinking about.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
This is m Z.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Now, Oh my god, what happened?

Speaker 6 (00:50):
I have no idea. Yes, crash, howling it I'm calling it.
Then let me say, hang on, this is what my
whole day is felt like. Actually, this has been my
whole week. What just crashes right in the middle of no,
like everything's just going along, like we're hanging out.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
All of a sudden, just everything stops the Xbox crash?
Is that what you're saying? No, No, I think I'm
more referring to this past week of work.

Speaker 7 (01:18):
Oh well, what I was going to come on and say,
if you imagine the music behind me, Yeah, imagine that.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
I can.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
So the music going on, and I'm going to say
something like that I am right now this No. No,
I mean well he's given.

Speaker 7 (01:38):
That I am this morning, I would have faded out already.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
And then then Eric's supposed say something like why why
what's going on? And I'll tell you. I'll tell you, Eric,
thanks for asking.

Speaker 8 (01:49):
I thought you were in good story. It's this whole time.

Speaker 7 (01:51):
Well, because I'm just I'm really really upset. I'm boiling
with anger inside. Okay, because for I don't know how long,
maybe the past year or two years, Taco Bell has
been teasing the caramel Apple and Panada that it's going
to return.

Speaker 8 (02:05):
Oh yeah, okay.

Speaker 7 (02:06):
Every time I go back, I see an advertisement for it,
I get an email about it. I go to the
Taco Bell next to my house.

Speaker 8 (02:13):
The one that's in the gas station, like as part
of it.

Speaker 7 (02:15):
There's not no, this is a standalone. They put some
money into this one. So I go there and I go, yeah,
I'll do a caramel Apple and panada because I love
those back in the day when they had them. We
don't have we're all out, or we don't. We don't
have those yet, is what they say. I'm okay, so
then I can forget about it for a little bit.
This morning I got an email from Taco Bell saying
they have the Y two K collection, which is the

(02:36):
cool ranch to Rito Taco. It's all the things we
got like in high school and afterwards or whatever. So
I'm like, you know what, I might give me a
little pack before I come to the studio and get
me a little with the cherry on top, the caramel
apple and panada. I go back to that Taco Bell.
They go, no, we don't have it. So I said, well,
forget I guess I'll just door dash it. So I
go to the e I go to door dash. I'm

(02:56):
looking up caramel apple and panada, and Taco Bell not
listed there. So then I go back to the email
that they sent me to day and hit the thing
that says order.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Now.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
It's not even on their menu on their website. So
you've been teasing me with the caramel apple and panada
and you don't even have it.

Speaker 8 (03:12):
I had it.

Speaker 7 (03:13):
So Taco Bell owes me a box of caramel apple
and panadas because of how much I've been teasing me. Oh,
come by and get it. I go buy and guess what.
I didn't buy anything when I went by this morning
because I was so upset. Yeah, you teased me, you
said you had it. I went by, I got it,
or tried to get it. You don't have it, and
you've been teasing it for like two years. I've been
teased a lot with a piece of pine, never gotten

(03:34):
eat yeah, so you know how I feel?

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Oh yeah, I get teased all the time with a
piece of pine and to eat it.

Speaker 7 (03:39):
Right, So what do you mean what you had one
already in the last year.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah, whenever they announced the like hys uk whatever because
they bring back because one of my favorite my tacos
is the double deck or taco.

Speaker 7 (03:51):
Yeah, so, which is what It's just a taco with
another taco around it right.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Soft outside, I got you, yeah, and basically like a
with like we fried bean smeared on it and they
put a taco in that. So it's like a bean
taco within a taco or a taco within a bean taco.
But they perfected when they did the cheesey gordy to crunch.
Way better than No, that not at all because it's

(04:19):
just melted cheese and a flat bread in a taco.
That's way better than that bean crap.

Speaker 8 (04:25):
No, that isn't.

Speaker 9 (04:25):
That isn't. The flavor is not like all of this
is an l because it's Taco Bell.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
This is no no, no, it's a taco.

Speaker 7 (04:34):
No, We're not gonna this is Taco Bell is the
finest Mexican establishment we have here now, no, no, No,
Ponchos above taco all right, all right, all right, yes, Tom,
Ponchos is better. You're right, but we have to drive
further to get Ponchos. There's only like three located.

Speaker 9 (04:49):
I have a Ponchos near me and in the parking lot,
same parking lot as a Taco Bell.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
And we'll see which one lasts longer.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
You know.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
The Ponchos has definitely been there longer. Yeah, yeah, But
how much longer?

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Though?

Speaker 5 (05:02):
That's the that's the key.

Speaker 9 (05:03):
Twenty thirty years?

Speaker 5 (05:04):
No, I mean, how much longer is it going to
be there?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
That?

Speaker 5 (05:06):
I bet you that thing's been there forty years? No,
I understand that. But what I'm saying is how much
longer is it going to be there?

Speaker 9 (05:11):
It'll be there longer, well, no, not in the time.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
I think.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
I think what the question is which is going to
fade out? First? Grandies or or poncho Grandies?

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (05:22):
Down the colors though, like yeah and red and white
now I know, and.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
It confleears me. I feel like they're trying to channel
some KFC vibes.

Speaker 7 (05:31):
All I'm saying is, Taco Bell owes me a box
of caramel apple and Panadas. Don't send me an email
if you say you have it and then I go
click on the email that you have. You don't even
have it listed on your website.

Speaker 9 (05:41):
Get them in your mail.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
I'd be well in the best.

Speaker 7 (05:43):
I want them on cold ice or whatever, it's well
dry ice, an envelope.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
I'd be willing to bet you could find something just
like it where on the catalog, oh catalog or.

Speaker 7 (05:57):
I'm sure yeah, I'm sure, you're right. Yeah, But I'm
just saying, and I want it from them. You know
you want to cook them their taco right right? I
want whatever for their taco frier the friar. I signed
up for this new it's like Factor of Meals, but
it's something different, other brand. And the only reason why
I did because I I got an offer in an
email and it was a pretty good offering. I thought
I'd try it because the foods would look like normal

(06:17):
foods I would eat if I wasn't watching when I
was eating. But they're healthier alternatives, so I'm like, okay,
So I went in. I ordered it. This is Thursday.
The website says it takes twenty four to forty eight
hours before it arrives at your doorstep. So I'm thinking
I'm going to get it on Saturday. It said I
wasn't get it on Saturday the eleventh, so I'm waiting.
I'm looking at the tracking because I'm trying to plan

(06:39):
out what I'm going to eat for the week. And
I'm trying to plan everything out. The thing hadn't even
shipped yet, and it was supposed to be here yesterday.
It's still saying label printed, we don't even have a day.
Ups like, we don't even have it yet. Government shutdown
must be the government employees. So I've already canceled my
subscription with them. I'm gonna forget it. You already failed.

Speaker 8 (06:56):
I'm going to send you a new I'm going to
send you a new one while you get a Disney bonus.
I do get a bonus, but it's actually.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
Really they are on time, like you you pick a
day when whenever you weren't your first box U huh.
It has come that day and they had their own
like people to come drop it off.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
So I'm interested because I do like Factor. I didn't
have a problem with a commercial right now.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Factor. I didn't have a problem with it. The food
was good.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
All that it uh the last like few boxes I
would get. They would have like I would order five
or seven or whatever it was, and it would be
like one thing that would come in. Now, granted they
credit you back, but there's always like a problem we
we oversold this box or we over and so it
threw up my whole week. And then so like I
understand it happening one time, but then it would happen
like the next week, there'd be a couple of blocks.

Speaker 8 (07:40):
I've never had that happen.

Speaker 7 (07:41):
And then one time they sent me a box and
I had already eaten the meal, and then they sent
an email going, hey, the chicken we have in that
meal has been recalled, so we give you a credit
for so, like you know, I mean, I know that's
not their fault, that's the supplier, but I just had
a bad taste in my mouth literally from it, and
I like, I'm out.

Speaker 8 (07:58):
I never had that happen. I order a factor like
for I a couple of months and everything was good.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
Yeah, No, everything was good up until the last few
weeks I had it. And then I was done because
I was paying like seventy dollars a week. Yeah, which
if you think it sounds like a lot, but if
you think about it, like when I'm up here, Spider
can attest too. We're up here, we're usually door dashing food.

Speaker 9 (08:18):
Yeah, you pretty much have to up here.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (08:20):
And it's like seventy bucks at least that we're probably
spending each in a week food, Yeah, in a week,
probably more than probably more. No wait, but I'm saying
you can get any more. But I'm saying you can
get more bang for your buck if you order these
kind of things. And then we found a hidden refrigerator
on the seventh floor here. Oh, this first block of
the show, which running out of time already, was going
to be really a recap of the fan Fest. So

(08:44):
we took the night Rider car to fan Fest for
two days just to kind of a recap. We didn't
plan on making it a whole shebang like it was.
It was supposed to be Clark and I pulling up
in the night Rider car, maybe Catherine out there passing
out stickers, and we were gonna be there for a
couple hours, then we're gonna drive off at a visible
distance and then tow the car out of there. But

(09:05):
then the convention was so nice they gave us a
booth right in front, and so, oh, yeah, right when
you walk in.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
And so we had to make an entire event in
literally two weeks or less, and we had a whole
lot of stuff going on. But I think overall it
came out really, really good. I think we thought of everything.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
There's not all.

Speaker 7 (09:24):
I mean, we have ideas of how we can do
this better in the future, but I think with what
we had, the time that we had, it was great.
We had Catherine was there as Michael Knight or MIKAELA Knight?

Speaker 5 (09:35):
What did we say your name was?

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Did we ever?

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Michelle?

Speaker 7 (09:38):
I like Michelle Knight. Her outfit was so great. So
I'm talking to somebody and in the corner of my eye,
I'm watching Catherine here standing up there, and then this
guy just walks up to her goes, I don't know
what they're talking about, but it looks like they're exchanging information.
So I'm seeing this in the corner of my eye
and I go, oh, that's interesting, and then I forget

(09:59):
about it, moving on to something else, and then like
a few minutes later, Cark.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
Goes, you just see what happened here? She has got
a phone number. Like what happened?

Speaker 7 (10:06):
So this guy just walks up to you and says, hey,
can I have your number?

Speaker 8 (10:09):
That happens and he gave it to him. Yeah, I
mean it was my dad.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
Oh yeah, there you go.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
But what's funny is I told her is really young.
This is what happens when you go out. If you
can leave your bedroom every now and then, you might
get a couple of numbers. And look what you and
now you guys are gonna I'm not gonna go to details,
but they're going out on their first Wait no, no,
they're going out to They're going out and they're doing
something fun to do. So they're gonna meet and they

(10:37):
haven't really talked since then. They just kind of text
a little bit. I'm not gonna give everything away.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
His name is.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
I'm just kidding, but I mean you got out, you
had a little outfit on, and look what happened.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
See, yeah, I should I should leave my bedroom.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
Right.

Speaker 8 (10:54):
She's not very enthused.

Speaker 7 (10:56):
I don't think she's into this guy's going but you know,
it's something fun. She's gonna go out. I told to
park way out so he doesn't know what you drive.
Just cause the guy turns out to be a creep
or something. But I mean, look what she was just
standing there. She wouldn't even talking or do anything. She
just looks exactly. She looks like right now, except without
the mini mouse out.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Well, I do have to give I guess the guy
props so like approach, yes right, yeahh so like because
you are a very beautiful woman and normally guys getting
intimidated by that. And she was addressed as Michael Knight,
which is even more intimidating.

Speaker 8 (11:25):
Yeah, so yeah, so I mean I guess it ticket,
you know, gets for him to approach her.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yeah, and and because she could have said no, and
she gave him the number.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
So there you go.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
Congratulations on that, Catherine, we watched. You know, they'll be
married in twenty years. We'll have a reunion special, how
we you know it's great.

Speaker 8 (11:41):
Well, he has to pass you know, like my checklist.
That's true, my background check.

Speaker 7 (11:45):
And Eric is very by the by the book. So
by the book, Eric, Yeah, Eric, you don't even know it. So, uh,
that was great getting the car, there was so there
was a whole friday almost got rid of the car.
Let me just put it that way. I'll I'm gonna
tease it and then I'll tell you the story when
we come back. But it was a nightmare getting it

(12:05):
up there. It was a nightmare getting it out, or
at least I thought it was gonna be a nightmare.
Getting out wasn't super bad, But I was really thinking
about getting rid of the car. But I met so
many great people that were either big fans of the
show or had built night Rider cars. I met this
guy from the UK. He has like a couple of
night Rider cars you built, And I was so discouraged

(12:26):
because I'm like, I don't even know what I have, right,
I just bought this antion. I have no clue if
there's a good car. I mean, I drive it once
a week, but you know, I don't know what's in here.
It looks like somebody kind of like maybe cut some
short cuts here and there to get it to where
I don't know what I have. The guy came out
and he goes, you have a really good replica here,
He goes, don't focus it on the little stuff like
I was complaining because it was the first time to

(12:47):
seeing the car underath these like shop lights, you know,
the convention lights, and you can see the kind of
the imperfections on the paint. I'm stressing out about that.
I'm a little ocd about stuff like that. And he
goes things like that, don't worry about it. No one's
going to notice it. And hees, especially because you're going
to be filming it all the time, it's not going
to show up on camera, so don't worry about it.
He goes, worry about the stuff. So, like, the dash

(13:07):
is something we have to get because people would go
and take pictures in front of the car and then
immediately go to the side of the car to look
in to see the dash. There's no dash in there.
So I'm like, all right, we're getting a dash.

Speaker 9 (13:19):
I'm gonna think somebody came with a piece of dash
and wanted to look at yours that take a picture.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
That guy was incredible by the way that guy is
building his own like he's building everything from scratch, he's
three D printing everything. Yeah, and he goes, if I
come across more parts, I'll give him to you. I
was like, well, whatever I can do to help you.
I mean, I'm not a night rider builder, but I
don't want anybody to think that I'm building this car
by any means I this is not my special somebody
is out. I'm not Michael. Even Michael Knight didn't do it.

(13:46):
He had he had the female to do it.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (13:49):
I'm I already know my I know my strength, I
know my weakness. I can take this entire studio apart
and put it together in a day.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
I know I can do that.

Speaker 7 (13:56):
But cars are not my thing, and I know that
for a fact. So so what I would rather do,
because it would save me time, energy, money, frustration, is
to buy these parts and let somebody who knows this
is their specialty they do it. And so all these guys,
I'm really impressed with all these guys that are building
everything from scratch and doing it.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
That's just not me. I can't do that.

Speaker 7 (14:13):
I don't even have the time to do it, even
if I wanted to. I had an eighty seven Chevy
Novle my first car in high school. It was given
to me for free piece of junk. All it needed
was a water pump. It sat in the driveway for
ten years because nobody could put the water pump in.

Speaker 5 (14:27):
I would try.

Speaker 7 (14:28):
Some days, I would get up there and go, I'm
going to put the water pump in. I'll figure it out.
The water pump, probably as it went off to the
scrap yard is still in there, halfway cocked into the engine.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
Because that's just not my thing.

Speaker 7 (14:39):
So a lot of people thinking they want to follow
the Bill journey and wow, he must know a lot
of stuff. I don't know anything, but I appreciate the encouragement.
So the UK guy says, this is the best thing.

Speaker 9 (14:49):
He said.

Speaker 7 (14:50):
He goes, you're a lot farther along than you think
you are.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
And that was all I needed.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
So now I'm like, we got to get the dash
and then I had and then I was like, well,
I think it about buying. There's a guy that sells them.
They're already ready made. You can just plug and play
the put him in. He goes, don't do that, he
goes buy it all in the pieces and let somebody
put together. So now I was all stress out again
because I'm like, who's gonna do do it? So then
I went on these night rider forms and I'm like, hey,
does anybody know of anybody in the DFW area that

(15:15):
can do it? Nobody had any answer. A lot of
people wanted to know the answer. Other people just said
why do you need somebody to do it? Just do yourself?
Like that's how I answer my question. Just stay off, Well,
you waste everybody's time. And then finally I got ahold
of somebody. I emailed somebody and I was like, do
you know of anybody in DFW that could do it?
And he goes, actually, I do. I have a really

(15:35):
good friend in Dallas that can do it. He's very
familiar with all the electronics and everything. So I'll pass
the information and I go perfect, And I even hit
Bob Mosley video Bob he didn't want to do it.

Speaker 8 (15:46):
Yeah, And it was the gas Monkey guys, the ones
that ask.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
So that's my I haven't asked them, but I think
if this guy doesn't work out, I'm gonna go to
gas Monket.

Speaker 8 (15:55):
Do we still have a show? Gas Monkey? Is this perfect?

Speaker 9 (15:58):
Like, I don't think they have a show. I don't
do that thing, but I know the concert place has
gone too. Yeah, they still have their shop.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
They have the shop, and they do have a new
like bar, but it's in like north that like the
Colony or something. But I thought about hitting them up
and just be like, hey, we can both shoot content
for this. Yeah, and it'll work for both of us. Uh,
if you guys want to do it, all you got
to do is the dash. It's not that big of
a deal. I mean I would do it myself, but
I'm not smart. Is that my specialty?

Speaker 8 (16:23):
If I was, that's perfect like right for content, right
damn and a good car here.

Speaker 7 (16:28):
Bob Mosley wouldn't do it because I think I don't
know for sure, but you know he what he does
is he builds the car and sells you all of
it together. He doesn't want to piece it, you know
what I mean. They don't want to do a part
of the work. And then it's a lot of stuff.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
So I get that.

Speaker 7 (16:42):
But anyway, so yeah, I'll talk about the nightmare of
getting the car there, and then we'll talk about everyone's
uh experience there, what they thought, and then Big Text
was going to call in, so that's always exciting. And
then I have to tell you something, okay about Yes,
don't plan your trip to Disney yet it's you play
you have insurance on it?

Speaker 5 (17:02):
No, all right, well you're gonna have to take the
l because I think this is gonna be something you
want to do.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Well.

Speaker 7 (17:07):
I mean I just found out about it today, like
literally ten minutes.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
For the show.

Speaker 7 (17:11):
Okay, well, I mean and we have to apply for it.
We may not get it, but I'll tell you. I'll
tell you when to come back.

don't there's no new ghosts. They're all the old ones. Yeah,
like you don't have like a brand new building that's haunted.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
I guess that limitations, you know. Yeah, of how when
you can hount in how long I think the haunting
period was? Oh you know what I mean, like it's
done well. Vegas was built in the middle of nowhere.
So yeah, like there's an Indian burial ground. I'm sorry,
oh tomorrow, Indigenous people, right, I'm so sorry. Yeah, it

Speaker 5 (22:09):
Is the hotel open like it's Is it functioning? Yeah,
it's a functioning hotel. You have never heard of it,
so it must be cheap. I gotta go to Vegas
next two weeks from now, so I'm circus. Circus isn't No,
it's called the l Cortes Hotel Casino L Cortes. Would
you you want to say, I mean, I'm sure like

(22:35):
we can go a different day than the days I'm going. Yeah,
but we're not even get the free e E meter
or whatever it's called. What do you mean the EMF
A metters or whatever? E meters scientology. Right, so yeah,
we're not we're not getting the ghost hunting equipment if
we don't go this time and we're missing it on
five right, I mean you can, but you got to
bring your own ghost hunting equipment, right.

Speaker 8 (22:56):
So what I think he's reading it for this like
a short time period like whatever.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
The ghost equipment.

Speaker 7 (23:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think they're just it's just for
that weekend. I mean, I'm not gonna and it's five grand,
well it split between two. I mean, you know, thirty
five hundred and whatever is left for you.

Speaker 9 (23:11):
No four point one rating on Google review.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
That's not bad. It's off the strip. It's an old
old I wonder what if what brought that down to
four point one? Would it be the ghost like we
have five? Yeah, see if you can find the bad
ratings on that.

Speaker 9 (23:25):
Yeah, let's see what the one stars are.

Speaker 7 (23:27):
Probably just like it was too loud. We try to
go in and we could place.

Speaker 9 (23:32):
There's a lot of thumbs down for sleep mm hmmm.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
Because I think it's right there. You know, Old Vegas
has got the old old strip or whatever. You know,
it's a lot of noise.

Speaker 9 (23:41):
Well, it's loud on the weekends. That's what people are saying.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
I can imagine, and that's probably that's probably what that's
code for.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
What.

Speaker 7 (23:48):
Well, we can all have to stay there, We got
to listen. If we got five brand, we can go
get a hotel down this, we can stay somewhere else.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
Yeah, but how can ghosts haunt people if you have
like loud noise happening?

Speaker 7 (23:59):
Like that's probably what they want us to be there for,
to help show that the ghosts are trying to talk
to us. But there's too many loud noises going on.

Speaker 9 (24:07):
This review says, worse sleep of my life. Seems like
they kept the same beds from nineteen forty one.

Speaker 8 (24:13):
That's real hot.

Speaker 7 (24:14):
Yeah, so we don't have to stay there. We got
some Cold War era mattresses. We'll go there, we'll shoot
their videos, we'll do a whole thing for him. They
pay us for that, essentially, and then we just go
back to, you know somewhere, a nicer hotel where it's quiet.

Speaker 8 (24:27):
The great thing's it a walk around?

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (24:29):
I thought it's not haunted here.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yeah, but it sounds like you're fleecing them on their
five thousand dollars. Okay, and it's America, So we do here.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
Yeah, we checked it out.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
China.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Yeah, no ghosts, no ghosts, ghost free the thumbs up.
We put a poster on the front. No ghost Yeah,
just faulty wiring. We did find some helpers violations in
here though.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
However it's actually a weather balloon. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (24:54):
So anyway, all right, back to the FA. I'll sign
us up and we'll see what happens. All right, fan Fest.
The plan was I was going to go on Friday.
We had to bring the car up there, so I
was gonna go take it to go get washed and
then have the tow truck come and pick it up
and go because I don't I don't really trust it
that much to drive it that far, and I don't
really want to put the miles on if I don't
have to. So I've had this car for a year.

(25:17):
It's only done a thing where it's just randomly died
maybe two times, and I drive it almost every weekend
this so Monday I take it to go get the
tea taps put in for the so we can run
the module off the auxiliary battery. And it died a
couple of times going there and after that was weird,
but maybe just a fluke. I'm not maybe I need
to put gas in it. I don't know, don't think
too much about it. Friday, I have to be up

(25:38):
here early in the morning, and then I rush home
to grab the car. I start driving down to the
car washes like three minutes from my house. The car
dies three times, and the first time it dies, it
won't turn back on, and I'm like, what am I
going to do? I gotta call the tow truck. I'm
not even ready to go to the convention to set up.
I still have missing I didn't put things in the car.
Do I call the tow truck? They pick it up
from here? How long is it gonna take? It's all Finally,

(25:59):
after five minutes of trying, it starts back up. I
drive around the corner, dies again, drive around the corner,
dies again. Finally get to the house, turn it off,
call the record, and I'm like, I'm just gonna spray
it with this detail spray and we're gonna get it
over there.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
We'll figure it out once we get it there.

Speaker 7 (26:12):
Because I was like, what do I do? Do I
do I call the convention. I'm like, I can't get
it going or I don't know what to do. So
luckily it worked. We got it to the convention, set
everything up, everything was perfect. I thought we were gonna
have like a deeper space where I thought the car
was gonna be more on the back and we can
angle it or something. They really just gave us like
a parking spot, but it was really long so we

(26:33):
could do all the things we're going to do. So
I had to kind of figure out what we're gonna
do there, and then got the car in. The car
came off the record, no problem, drove it in and
everything's about And by the way, I gotta be back
at the studio at five o'clock. Now it's four thirty,
so I'm almost done making perfect time. I'm like, you
know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna plug in the
battery with the guy told me to do, just to
make sure it works, so I know what to do
tomorrow morning. So I'm watching the video of him showing

(26:55):
me what to do. All I gotta do is plug
these little plugs into these little tea taps the line
he goes, push him in pretty hard because they're gonna click,
and then you know, you know it's in there. So
I do that and I see this pop happened. I that, oh,
the T tap fell off. I don't know how to
put this thing and hopefully it's not hard to put on.
So I'm looking for the T tap. T tap is

(27:16):
still on the the wiring. It's the wiring that broke
in half. So I'm like, now I have no choice.
I have no It doesn't matter what battery I ever
went off, it won't run. Now there's no lights, We're done,
so I'm like, this is like five minutes before I
have to leave, so, you know, I forget it. I'm
going to wrap up the car. I'm gonna go back
to see you. I'm not gonna think about it till tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
It is what it is.

Speaker 7 (27:39):
So I'm driving over here and I'm thinking, what if
I strip the wiring and put it into because it's
a contact in the T tap, So what if I
just stuck them together and then taped it all up?
Would it works? So I put it in you know,
I try to google it. I put it in chat GBT.
Everything seems like it's going to work. I talk to
people later on that evening that know a little bit
about this kind of thing, and they go, yeah, I mean,
it shouldn't it shouldn't have a problem with it, So I, okay, cool, Well,

(28:01):
I can't find the wire strippers. Spider and I are
looking for wire strippers up here, can't find them. So
I order everything and have it delivered like four in
the morning because I had to be at the convention
at eight point thirty because the door's open at ten.
I'm trying to get this thing run in before the
door's open. So we get up there. I got all
the repair kit that I need, and now I had
another problem. We didn't get the exhibitor pass the day before.

(28:23):
No one told us where to go, so I thought,
we go and check in, you know. The next morning,
we get the pass and we go in. He goes, No, No,
the past for the exhibitors are way in the back.
In order to get to the back, you have to
go in through this way, but you need to pass
to get in. So I'm like, I need a pass
to get to my pass. Is that what you're saying
is yeah? I'm like, how's that going to work? And
then another vendor comes up, and meanwhile the clock is ticking.
I got to fix this wiring. I don't even it's

(28:44):
gonna work. I gotta so finally they come to their
senses and they walk us back to the back to
get the passes. So we get the pass I go
to the car. In two minutes, I got the car working,
so problem solved. And then I also wasn't super concerned
because Sean with as Johnny five was there, and I
know if I couldn't fix the wiring, Sean could. Sean
built a whole talking AI robot. He can help me

(29:05):
fix one wire. In fact, he told me later on,
he goes, dude, if you need wires or yeah, connected
with what I got everything? Because I Johnny five breaks,
he's got to be able to fix it real quick.
But other than that, the show went great. Getting it
out really wasn't that big of a deal. We had
to wait a little bit because they had to make
a path for us, and then me and the Scooby
Doo guy had to go out, and then I had
to wait an extra hour for a record of the
record was was an hour late. But other than that,

(29:27):
everything worked out pretty good. Catherine, first time going to
a comic con, right, Yeah?

Speaker 4 (29:33):
Did you like it?

Speaker 7 (29:34):
I mean you were you got to experience it and
be part of the you know, like the show as well.

Speaker 8 (29:39):
Yeah, I loved it.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
I got I got a Kirby key chain.

Speaker 7 (29:43):
Did you really for free or did you buy it?
It's like, oh, okay, Eric Kirby showed up. I didn't
even know they were coming.

Speaker 8 (29:51):
I told you either Saturday or Sunday.

Speaker 7 (29:52):
Yeah, I mean I knew that, but I thought you
were going to forget about it. So Clark and I
are up stairs doing bits and then I get a
text of Eric like here we are. You're not here,
so we'd come back down and what did y'all think?
Like walking in and seeing the car for the first Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
I think, uh yeah, walking in the car and we
walk in the car. Walking in and seeing the car
like that was like it's pretty cool, right, Yeah, it
was really really cool. Like I would walk out and
walk back in and it was just I was like, wow,
that's just awesome. Like I still and everybody was like,
I can't believe you have this is your car. I'm like, yeah,
I don't either. I can't believe it either.

Speaker 8 (30:21):
And I was expecting me to see Catherine there or
someone that I knew, and nobody was there.

Speaker 7 (30:26):
No, we had you saw sav right the girl playing
in April. Yeah, but I don't know her, right, We
didn't either, Joe's we didn't. Joe's the one who recommended her.
And I'm like, oh, how she seems pretty cool or
whatever she was. I've only met her once, so we
didn't even really know her.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
Yes, I walked into the car and she walks up,
and then I'm all like hi, yeah, Like I'm like,
I know, I know who you are, but you don't
know who I am. Right, Yeah she should though, because
you know, right anyways, but no, yeah, and so I
was like okay, and then we walked the rest that's
the way around, just like looking up the different little

(30:59):
shops and vendors, kind of repetitive stuff. Yeah, it's all
I feel like.

Speaker 7 (31:06):
Honestly, we had the best booth, like interactive, right, yeah,
we had a person being like you know, it's like
it reminded me of Universal Studios. In fact, that's where
we want to take it.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
I was so busy.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
I felt bad because I was talking to a lot
of people, and I felt bad because, uh, I had
so much stuff going on in my head that I'm like,
you know that we had a lot of stuff happening
up here. That I wasn't really present. A lot of
times I was zoning out because I'm like, oh, in
five minutes, I got to get Like I left the
convention four or five times, maybe four times to come
up here to get something done and then go back.

(31:35):
It was a whole lot of stuff going on. So
somebody asked me on Sunday as we were leaving, They're like,
would you do this again? And uh, my initial reaction
was no, it's too much. Like but to be fair,
there was a lot going on that weekend. If we
knew we had plenty of time and we had everyone
lined up and there was like an actual schedule, and.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Yeah, you know, we could do we could adjust the studio.

Speaker 7 (31:55):
Yeah, if we had the time, we could do it,
and we could do it really well. Like I think
we did really really good one hundred percent. Thought it
was really really good. That was really for what we had.
And again the time we had, we did fantastic. But
I think we can do even better. Like I want
to do like have a guy behind the curtain like
Devin uh doing you know, like a Universal Studios type
interaction where we have a show at one five and whatever,

(32:17):
you know, yeah, and then we can do deals where
you can take pictures in the car. Once we have
the dash in. It's a lot of cool stuff we
can do moving forward. But I don't know my initiative,
just because there's so much stuff going on and then
the problems of getting the car there. I was ready
to get rid of it until I talked to all
these great people and then they encouraged me to keep
it and keep going.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
So that's what we're gonna do.

Speaker 9 (32:37):
You got to clean the wheels next time.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Yeah, I was gonna say that about.

Speaker 7 (32:42):
Did you miss the first part of the story where
I was going to take a car washed and clean
all that up, and then that happens.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
All was a details break once you get there. Yeah,
you still have to do that, Like there's go to
All I had was go to a car show. Go
to a car show and there's people wiping their wheels
down every hour because it.

Speaker 9 (32:59):
Did look really good. And uh, for one when I
walked in, I was like, Okay, all his videos weren't
AI because we hadn't seen that. No one had seen
the car yet, we videos.

Speaker 7 (33:09):
No one, no one here has ever seen the car,
so it was it was real, which was but it
looked really good.

Speaker 9 (33:14):
But yeah, the that was the one thing. I was like,
the tires are brown and the car is black.

Speaker 7 (33:18):
I did actually put that detail spray on the wheels
and tires, but you couldn't tell.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
That's because detail spray doesn't work on that's all.

Speaker 7 (33:26):
I had to get some arm I had a whole thing,
a whole an army of materials I was going to
do to clean all this thing up.

Speaker 5 (33:32):
My idea. Because you didn't bring the correct stuff, the
car didn't work. Go back and listen to you. You
can go. You could go to an AutoZone and you
could even have told me to bring it and I would.
I was, there's too many things fine that the total
I understand you were like, I didn't want for ten
days with a head. Yeah, three hours of sleep at night,

(33:58):
I was, I get it. I had to be appear
at six in the morning. It was crazy.

Speaker 7 (34:01):
But we're back to normal schedule now, so it's good.
So anyway, would y'all do you think we should do
it again? That's my next question. Yeah, okay, I don't
know why.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
This is what you need to do. You should have
sold that car to someone and then use the money
then get another car and just do the same bit
where basically you get the car, yes, and you kind
of fix it up a little bit, and then you
just it off on someone else.

Speaker 7 (34:27):
Honestly though, it really is like the little engine issue
or the air issue is probably gonna cost me like
two hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (34:33):
Like it's not. None of these things are.

Speaker 7 (34:35):
But yeah, like an air issue, right rear intake or
the air conditioning there's no, no, no, the air conditioning
is fine, or the car rator it's the uh, there's
there's an air intake system like a leak in a
hose or something. It's getting too much air and that's
why it was dying. It's so cheap to fix these cars,
you know what I mean. So it's not like I'm
in a money pit. I'm gonna show you the video

(34:55):
I met William Daniels. You know, we had them on
the show a couple of years ago. But I had
him signed and please straight for him. Uh eight to
ten or eight by ten.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
But fast.

Speaker 9 (35:04):
Remember somebody came in and said that someone had called
an ambulance. Oh Daniels.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
Yeah, during the show, I never confirmed that the ambulance
showed up.

Speaker 9 (35:14):
And he was like, I didn't call for this.

Speaker 7 (35:16):
Yeah, somebody thought he looked so bad on Sunday that
they called the paramedics. What Yeah, and the paramidy showed up.
He's like, I'm fine, Oh my god. But and honestly,
he looked he doesn't look ninety eight. He looks younger.
These guys probably shouldn't be doing this anymore, like you know,
it might. They must be doing it for the money,
because they have bills to pay and stuff like that.
And I feel like they should just do a goalfundme.

(35:37):
People would donate to it and then you know, let
them live their lives or he can get out what
do you call it?

Speaker 4 (35:41):
What is that?

Speaker 7 (35:42):
A video like cameo cameo? He already does those. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying. That they must have a lot
of like money, like downsize or something.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
I don't know. I want to help them. I don't
know how.

Speaker 7 (35:50):
But I had them signed the eight by ten of
our car, and then I had them sign the custom plate,
one of the custom plates on the car and in
the night rider plate. And what I'm gonna do is
I was gonna do like an acrylic clear clear coat.
I'm gonna spray that so it seals it and then
that well, we have it all everywhere. But anyway, this

(36:10):
is him sunny. Also, no prices on the table. I
didn't know what I was paying. Everyone else at that
convention was like thirty dollars or whatever, forty dollars something,
and I'll probably send one hundred and fifty bucks. I
was two hundred and fifty dollars. Like I said, they
need some bills paid. William Daniels kiss that's perfect, yes, yes, sir, yeah, yeah,
that'll be perfect. Sign yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. You know

(36:35):
he's not pulling a Dick Van Dyke, so yeah, I
just know her from the interview.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Right.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
The woman on the right his handler, she's just helping
the muscles security. She just I think she just works
for the convention. Okay, and then that's Bonnie's wife. Yeah,
you can just sign William Daniels. How was the trip
over here?

Speaker 7 (36:58):
No flights are easy.

Speaker 5 (37:00):
I hate traveling.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
I do too. We hate it and we almost didn't come,
but we will commit.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
Right this is the last one, this one. You could
just sign your name. You don't have to, you don't
have to personalize it.

Speaker 8 (37:13):
Just your yeah, yes, sir, just your name A great name.

Speaker 10 (37:19):

Speaker 8 (37:52):
Maybe he thought.

Speaker 5 (37:55):
Back is better. The guy in the navy shirt is
kind of laughing at that whole interaction. He can you
can see it. You're confusing on Michael, I just I
just repeated what I said. No, but yeah, you're confusing
because he's like, what do I write? And then's yeah,
just your name and you just keep talking. That's what
it was.

Speaker 11 (38:09):
Legendary actor, legendary name, legendary He's like what, Yeah, but
he was not. He was a very nice guy. I
do feel bad. Somebody should do something for them. I
don't know that they don't need to be doing that. Hey,
their bills for him or something to help them find
a house or something o their house. Okay, what were
you saying, Catherine, get them flowers. Well, I mean something
that helped their bills, but flowers might be nice to guess.

down on his back.

Speaker 2 (42:41):

drink there. Well, you know, times are tough, so where'd

Speaker 4 (45:31):
This real dark out there.

Speaker 5 (45:33):
Oh oh, poor big text.

Speaker 7 (45:40):
But uh, I was gonna go Tuesday because that was
the only day I had like a couple of hours
in the morning, and there's a couple of things on
the menu that I thought about getting. And then I
was just so white from the weekend and we had
so much stuff going on, Like I forget it, and
now I'm just done.

Speaker 9 (45:53):
Every year, like most of the time, these food things
are made by local people and they end up in
their rest.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (46:00):
After the fair, like like dipped was the main thing
I wanted a couple of years ago. They have a
whole shop, but they tell you to music factory. I
went down there and get it for way cheaper. And
the you can get the State Fair Texas, so It's like,
I don't corn dog. I don't really the corn dogs
aren't that great. So I'm gonna be honest with you,
corn dogs. I can just go buy some of Kroger
for five bucks or whatever you know to the no
name corn dog. Yeah, and I' about to have turkey

(46:21):
next month, you know what I mean. I don't really
need to go to the State Fair and spend all
this money and just the time it takes to get
through everything. The only reason I was thinking about going
was because there's no lines, is what I was, you know,
the impression that I had. But I just there's there's
I've never left the state Fair outside of high school.
When I will my friends was a tradition. I've never
let the state friend go. Wow, I'm really glad I

(46:42):
did that. Like, it's just I feel disgusting. One hundred
and fifty dollars less than what I came in with.

Speaker 9 (46:47):
Last time I have left the State Fair, I watched
the dude get his legs crushed between two cars.

Speaker 7 (46:52):
Oh my lord, wow, that would have been fun. At
least that's you know, you get that kind of st
last year, you got the horse that ran over that
kid or whatever.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
So you don't.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
I wonder if the guy that got his legs crushes
just as annoying as you are, or double annoying.

Speaker 7 (47:05):
Because he has he has two legs, right, or yeah
he did have two legs. He did have two legs,
and yeah, well I'm one of the whole. So you know,
I realized that moved on. I have to move on
to another like obsession. And so the leg thing, yes,
I bring that up every now and then, but now
it's a night rider car. Now we're trying to get
that on TV. So you know, all right, one last thing,

(47:27):
Eric's gotta What really grinds Eric's gear? Uh oh, right
now is yeah, he's got beef with Chili's.

Speaker 11 (47:34):
Is that it?

Speaker 7 (47:34):
Is it beef with Chilli's or did they do something
like you tell me because I saw the Instagram post
but I didn't read in it.

Speaker 5 (47:39):
Yeah, so they're getting rid of there or they got
rid of their chili the chili caseo. Yeah, terrible idea.

Speaker 8 (47:46):
That's been there for thirty five years.

Speaker 5 (47:48):
Least at least. I'm lacktose tolerance, so it means nothing
to me.

Speaker 9 (47:52):
Yeah, you think they use real teese?

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Probably?

Speaker 8 (47:55):
Probably? Yeah, I don't know why more than likely. I
don't know why they're.

Speaker 5 (48:00):
Doing it, but they're getting They got rid of it, okay,
and then shut down. We So we normally go to Chili's,
Me and Carry and Chilis every weekend, but they did.

Speaker 7 (48:09):
They came to the fan fest and then they go
all right, well we're gonna go. We gotta go to Chili's. Yeah,
didn't invite us, never brought. Never thought I could have
ordered Chili's, we could have the Chili's feast there, but
y'all went by yourself.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
It's a routine. I get it, okay.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:23):
And so we go to this specifically because of just
like the quality of the food, the service. You know,
everybody at the time, and the food comes out like
everything is like pristine, there's no nothing, nothing's wrong with
anything anyway. So yeah, so she had warned us already
that they were going to get rid of it before
they announced it, and we're like, okay, well I think

(48:46):
she didn't tell us, but she just said there's gonna
be some items on the menu that are not going
to be there anymore, the paparas or whatever.

Speaker 7 (48:52):
We're like, okay, anyway, So you know, she had a
not in her stomach too, right, She's like, I don't
want to upset these guys anyway.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
So she so we went after the the fan fest
or whatever, and we went actually, what do you call it?
They didn't switch it over entirely because we're like, well,
let's have one more hurrah right with the with the
chili caeso while it's still here. And then next Timeody come,
we're going to get the ranch on the new Queso.
So why we got there and we order it, she's

(49:22):
all like, not the normal Actually that normal waitress. She
was sick that day, so we had somebody else. So
then she's all like, oh, actually, we don't have the
chili qeso right now because somebody dropped it and the
last one I thought, I don't know the last one
or not the whole batch. Oh no, it was the
last one, the whole batch of the chili caeso. So

(49:48):
so so we can't we don't have it.

Speaker 7 (49:50):
They sold it on eBay. You know that's oh my god.
They bemboozled you. Sounds like taco bell to me. Yeah,
And then so we were like, oh no, we were this.
You know, we're going to try it before it goes away,
and then she was.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
Like, oh my gosh. She's like, well, I think we
have some like regular like the white caso they have,
not not the new one coming out, but it's a
regular white caso because they put on the like caso
cheese together and that's not that cas It is not
that either. So then we're okay, we'll just have that then.
And then I mean, we had a choice, really, and
then so she brings it out and then and then
she and then she said, oh, they had a little

(50:25):
bit left. I don't know how of the case it was.

Speaker 7 (50:31):
It was like whatever was in the bag that didn't
spill out on.

Speaker 5 (50:36):
Yeah, they toothpaste that I guess like into a ramikin
and then they put it in the mark awave and
that's what they brought to you.

Speaker 8 (50:42):
Okay, And we're like okay. And then so we had it.

Speaker 5 (50:45):
We were satisfied because we had two casoes now. And
then so now we went this past weekend and you
aren't you I am, but it's more like liquid like
ice creaming, ice creaming like liquid and play liquid milk milk. Huh,
it's flat.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
I can't hear you.

Speaker 5 (51:04):
You're only lactose and dollarn't the liquid.

Speaker 8 (51:09):
I am, but I am, but it's like I only
get a reaction.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
Like she She's.

Speaker 5 (51:18):
Like, even like yogurt, it would be different. Yeah, I
can like a no shake came out. Yeah, you get
that one, Catherine, you say what Okay, Catherine Daniels, she's
their daughter.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:39):
So we go to speaking or whatever, and then so like, uh,
we get our normal and they're okay, we're gonna get
the you know, whatever case they have. Now, you know,
let's try it and let's give it a chance. And
then so she was okay, well, now the wages that
we normally have is there. And then she tell us
about it or whatever, and I said, well, it kind
of sounds like it's gon to be like the case

(52:01):
on the border, because now that on the borders are closed, right,
they're closing down they are Yeah I didn't know that,
but they all, yeah, they're owned by the same company.
So then I was like, they have a picture of
the caso on the in the new menus and I
was like, oh, that looks like the on the border caso.
And then she goes, oh, what that's actually a good
you know, like what do you call it? Way to

(52:22):
compare it, Yeah, to compare it, and then so we
get it. And I got to promise you because I
used to go to on the Border, like religiously, I know,
I used to go with Yeah.

Speaker 8 (52:32):
Sometimes I think this is the on the Border Caso.

Speaker 5 (52:35):
Well, I don't know. I'm looking up right now. It
says probably is.

Speaker 7 (52:38):
It says the assets of on the Border were sold
to Papa's Restaurant. So you close Papa Papa Papasitos, So.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
They're probably just gonna take the real estate and turn
them all on the Papasitos, which honestly is probably better. Well,
it's Papasita's, the same stuff as chew the same stuff
as on the Border.

Speaker 7 (52:58):
I think Papasitas is better than Chewi's. I would say
so too, but Chewie is overrated.

Speaker 5 (53:03):
And then there's a throwl Phoenix in therel.

Speaker 7 (53:05):
Phoenix is pretty good, though that depends on where you go.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
I house is good. I think downtown is still good.

Speaker 7 (53:11):
Downtown is still good, and they're all the good thing
is it's all family owned.

Speaker 5 (53:16):
Like it's all family.

Speaker 7 (53:17):
It's a family that works for Martina's something.

Speaker 9 (53:20):
Yeah, but Matt's though that Martine is that one closed.

Speaker 5 (53:25):
Yeah, and that stinks.

Speaker 9 (53:26):
Know, that was my favorite.

Speaker 7 (53:28):
Yeah, but so you like the on the border Chili's,
so the new chick.

Speaker 8 (53:31):
Yeah, so the new casa at Chili's. I'm not mad
at it.

Speaker 7 (53:35):
Okay, we actually ate at all, So so it's better.
Would you say it's better for me?

Speaker 8 (53:42):
Let's get a case.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
So it was more like to me, it wasn't really
like ksoe like normal caso, like you could taste the
cheese or whatever.

Speaker 8 (53:50):
Yeah, this one the new one. You can taste like
the cheddar like in it, and I love Cheddar.

Speaker 9 (53:58):
So yeah, I don't give it a rating.

Speaker 8 (54:08):
I would probably say.

Speaker 5 (54:10):
I don't know, like.

Speaker 8 (54:14):
I don't know what to five stars, I'll probably say
like a four.

Speaker 5 (54:18):
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 7 (54:19):
I haven't been at Chilis in a long time, and
I I miss it. I missed Chili's.

Speaker 9 (54:24):
I ordered it, yeah, not too long ago. I guess
some pasta from there really good.

Speaker 7 (54:28):
I'll typically once a week I'll order the ten out steak.
It's only like three hundred and fifty calories, and I
usually I'm always craving like protein, so I'll get that
every now and then and that usually satisfies me. But
I want to go, like sit there have apps, you know,
have the whole thing. Yeah, I know, yeah, if they're
still there. Well, Clark got the other one fired, so

(54:50):
people the one from New York. Yeah, New Orleans.

Speaker 5 (54:53):
Yeah that's right. Kirby don't want to get like you
don't get a three for me, and like he'll get
the steak six on steak and then you can add
shrimp on it.

Speaker 8 (55:03):
And he loves it.

Speaker 7 (55:04):
The stakes so good, like it's overrated, it's underrated. The
steak of Chili's, it's really good. All right, I think
that's it for now.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
Now.

Speaker 7 (55:12):
I said, we're going to do a thirty minute show,
and we did an hour.

Speaker 9 (55:14):
Yeah, hour and fifteen almost.

Speaker 7 (55:16):
Well, by the time we cut it down, i'll be
twenty minutes. We'll have to cut all park stuff out.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Oh good, but.

Speaker 7 (55:22):
Yeah, success. I thought the night riding thing was success.
Now I got to get it to a mechanic. By
the way, the tow truck drivers, both of them, who
didn't know each other, I was like, hey, do you
recommend because that's the other thing. It's like, it's hard
finding a mechanic that works on old cars. Most people
will not touch him anymore. And I said, do you
know anybody that works in classic cars or anything like that?
And he goes, absolutely, I do.

Speaker 5 (55:43):
And he told me.

Speaker 7 (55:43):
About this guy with Clark, your driver. It was Clark's cousin.

Speaker 5 (55:47):
It was Mark.

Speaker 7 (55:48):
He's like, absolutely, I do. And then the driver going
back goes same guy. They referred the same guy. He said,
that is a guy would not trust anyone else with
your car except for that guy. And then the toad truck.
You know, I was talking about Russ Martin's Batmobile. Yeah,
And I talked to Dan O'Malley the other day and
I said, I was like, maybe a month or two ago.
I said, do you guys still have Like is it
part of the foundation, because at one point I would

(56:09):
like to own Russ Martin's Batmobile. I love Batman, I
loved Druss Martin. It'd be cool to try to own
it at some I couldn't buy it now, but I
would love to have it at some point. But I
need to find out where it's at. Who has it?
Dan says, the estate sold it. So I'm like, well,
I don't know. I'm every now and then when I
get some free time, I'm looking up online try to
find the Vin or something and try to get a clue.

(56:29):
And so the driver that was driving the night Rider
car to the convention, I go, yeah, you know, you
know Russ Martin. I would love to get his battle
bill one day. I just don't know where it's at.
He goes, I know where it's at. H I said,
where he goes, it's at the museum.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
He goes.

Speaker 7 (56:42):
I said, how do you know this? He goes, I'm
the one who towed it. So he told me where
it's at. I've already contacted the museum. I haven't called
me back yet, but I want to make sure it's true,
like they have a batmobile. I want to make sure
it's Russ's. And at some point I might be like, hey,
if you guys get rid of this, will you donate it.
Maybe I'd make a five oh one three C and
maybe you can donate it to that and get your

(57:02):
tax right off. Or I can buy it something you know,
down the road now right now. Also, I'm thinking starting
a five oh one C three uh called headphones for minorities.
I don't think minorities have access to headphones. It seems
like the like to play their iPhone iPad very loudly
in crowded environments. So I want to be able to
give quality headphones to minorities who may not have access

(57:25):
to it.

Speaker 9 (57:25):
Otherwise, something I can't participate in this project.

Speaker 7 (57:28):
No, sure, Clarks be the spokesperson. The only thing I'm
are you tired of browns and blacks coming away?

Speaker 3 (57:36):
On?

Speaker 7 (57:36):
Jesus Christ, let's cut that play. Yeah, if I'm gonna
make his mouth move with AI and I think South
Park at the Monday morning, can I see it our office?

Speaker 5 (57:49):
Please? Can you explain this real little.

Speaker 8 (57:51):
Bit over the intercom? He'd even know it's intercom system
in there, all right, And.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
