    LeMent Tonight 021226

    This Week Gemini said Bob LeMent hosted Canadian comedians and podcasters Darcy Fiander and Todd Van Allen, co-hosts of the O Show Pod (OK So Here’s One), for a wide-ranging conversation that blended comedy with anecdotal observations about life in the Great White North. The trio discussed the essence of “street jokes”—simple, classic setups like the “Guy walks into a bar” variety—and shared the origin of Todd’s podcast, which serves as a platform for celebrating these timeless bits. OSHOpod.com https://youtube.com/live/srbA_3h1CY8 Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody. It’s Lament Tonight. And tonight we got Darcy Fiander and Todd Van Allen with us. How are you guys doing tonight? Darcy, you were mentioned first. Go first. I did that on purpose. I’m good. Bob, it’s a delight to be here. Thank you so much for having us. Because Darcy usually doesn’t say as much. And so I thought I would just throw him out there. Yeah. Yeah. This is the most uncomfortable you’ve made him in his own house. Well, you guys live in Canada. He’s got an air conditioner behind him. I’m like, what is going on with this guy? No, no, no. When it dips to like minus 12 Celsius, that’s when you go, it’s too hot in here. Oh, okay. Yeah, I can see that. I can see that happening. So you guys are both from Canada? Yes. We just established that. We were actually talking about… Tim Horton’s putting his privates into a box for you on demand. And if anybody likes donuts and whatnot. And so, yeah, you’re here on Lament tonight. Thanks for being here, guys. We really appreciate it. And hopefully we’ll have some fun. And I think what I’ll do is I’m going to turn it over to you guys to do a little monologue for us of sorts. A monologue? Okay, well, actually monologues are not my forte. Darcy, what do you have? All right. What’s going on? What’s in the news? Darcy, for people who do not know, there it is. That’s exactly what I was going to talk about. We are the co-hosts of the O Show pod, which is OK So Here’s One, a podcast celebrating street jokes. What we do is we bring on a guest. Bob, you’ve done the show at least twice now? I think so, yeah. I think after the second time you said Don’t come back unless you’re bringing presents or something. Nope, that’s absolutely wrong. Every time your presence is there, that is presence enough. But we will also make sure that we get a street joke out of you. Do you remember what your first street joke was that you told us? Oh, I told, I basically, I told the Monty Python joke. That’s right, that’s right. That’s the essence of street jokes. Street jokes are just in the common, because they would have stolen that for their script. Right, oh. Right? So it’s just like, it’s jokes that are just out there. Guy walks into a bar, that sort of thing. You know, three chickens are sitting on a stool, like that sort of thing, right? Do you remember what your joke was? I do. Okay. What was it? It’s a call and response kind of joke. So my dog has no nose. How does he smell? Horrible. There we are. That’s the show. That’s the show. Well, we talk with people beforehand, and they can come on and promote the things that they’re promoting, right? Yeah. we forgot to do the promoting part. Oh, no, trust me like there was there were times on the previous essence of the of our of our podcast where publicity people would be in the room, and an hour in, we’re talking, and suddenly you go, like, what’s what’s that what’s that do you hear that? And that is just the publicist drumming their fingers going, when are we going to talk about the project when when does that happen? So we don’t do that now. And actually, it’s weird. For about the past month and a half, everyone’s been promoting their shows at Fallsview Casino. Oh, really? We have been on a run of a whole bunch of guests that have come on like they’re doing Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls. And so they come on and they’ve been promoting their shows. It has been great. It has been great. Again, you’ve been on. I don’t know if you performed at Fallsview Casino. You should. Not to my knowledge. I was up actually by Niagara Falls, and it was during COVID, and they wouldn’t let me cross over. Right. Sorry. Yeah. You’re sorry. I was sorry, too. It was right there. I couldn’t see it. You’re looking around, and you’re like, this is the shitty side. I did not want to tell you. I did not want to say. I’m like, the nice stuff’s over on the other side. I can’t go over there. I know there’s an Applebee’s. The shitty side has now got something these days. Because it’s so cold, the American side has frozen. No! Are you serious? Yeah. It’s running underneath it, but there’s a huge ice formation over the top. Really? It’s actually something to see. It’s like a sneeze guard for Niagara Falls. It’s just People coming in looking for the baby corn with the tongs. There’s a chocolate fountain around here somewhere. Yeah, exactly. I have friends that have just invested. I somehow got into this and I really don’t know how. There’s a bunch of people that I don’t even work with. It’s like a friend of mine who kind of works with them. And they have like a bi-monthly, it was bourbon tasting, but now since the problems, we’ve moved to other liquors and it was rye for a while. Now they’ve rotated around. But someone found… I’m going to ask you about the problems. Importing the things? Yeah, there’s that. There’s that. I have a stash of some things that I have been whittling my way through very gradually. I’ll put it that way. just in case the contraband police are listening. But they found a, like, you know, the chocolate fountain that you mentioned, which is just like this constantly cycling thing. They found one of those, but for old fashions. Oh, okay. So you make a, I guess, a picture of old fashions. You pour it in this fountain, and then you just Don Draper your way through the night. And it’s interesting. Yeah. Let’s talk about the new Camaro. The dead mill pen will tell you that it’s bitchin’. It’s bitchin’, that’s right. I can’t believe right now, at this moment, at this exact moment, we have now halved both of our audiences. There is no reason to watch either of these performances. there’s no reason well we will be at the casino yeah a couple weeks that is right. Well, I, you can cross the border now uh yeah i know it’s gonna be a question of which bridge, but you’ll be fine. You know, I might just walk the sneeze guard to be honest with you. Yeah, that’s true. Actually that it was actually to to darcy’s point um because the canadian side has, has much like what? 10 times the water that goes over. There was on record a time where it was so cold that it froze. There’s pictures. I’ve seen that. I’ve seen the pictures. That’s the easiest time to go over in a barrel. I don’t know. It’s like a slope. Maybe a little harder fall. I don’t know. No, because it’s soft at the bottom. It’s all that water. What if there’s stalagmites No, never even thought of that. Right. I can’t remember whose joke it was, and I’m going to butcher it. Someone asked me what the difference is between stalagmite and stalactite. I was like, well, stalactites have a C. They hang from the ceiling. And stalagmites have made me want to question every decision that I’ve gone through up to this point. Yes. Yes. That’s it. Oh, my goodness. So, yeah, I guess that’s our monologue. Well, what’s the weather there on this Canadian side? We got to get the weather report. We may have to do metric. I don’t know what the conversion metric is. No, just do metric. I’ll convert. Okay. I’ll be like an interpreter. So, we actually had a warm day today. It was minus 20. That’s about 35 Fahrenheit. No, no, that’s way lower. I know. Oh, no, no. That’s. Hang on. Double it. Net 30. So if I subtract this, it should be 15 degrees Fahrenheit. OK, 15. Well, I’m just making everybody feel comfortable. So like we were like minus 20. And so I actually got to wear a lighter coat. It was it was nice. Darcy, what was it in Toronto? Balmy minus seven. There you go. Jesus. So you were back in shorts. Well, you had the air conditioner on for Christ’s sake. You got that air conditioner. Just walking around the house and his wife runs the heat. Seriously, though, seriously, my window is open on the other side, further down the room here. The window is open with a fan blowing in air from the outside. Really? It does. Was energy free in Canada or something? I mean, for me, it kind of is. I’m not paying for heat. And it’s the old, old hot water radiators. Right. Yeah. So they were cranked up when it was really cold. And it takes a long time for it to adjust. So when the temperature goes up, it just cooks in here. Right. Wow. Yeah. Windows open. It’s like turning the Titanic. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And your answer to that is ice. Yeah. Ice. So. Well, there you go. The only application of that particular word that is actually working. It’s 40 degrees here right now. Okay, so that’s… Hang on. Fahrenheit. Yeah, so that means subtract 30. So you’re like 5 degrees Celsius. Yeah, that sounds about right. Wow, you’re good at math. Who knew? You know what it is? Literally, it’s double it and add 30. So when you go Fahrenheit to Celsius, you do the opposite. So you subtract 30 and then cut it in half. Yeah. That’s what you do. I think that old adage applies to many other calculations. Double it and add 30. Oh, yeah. That’s… Sweetheart, what’s my wiener and Fahrenheit? That’s, uh, yeah. Yeah. Everybody loves that one yep so so uh hold on a second, guys. We have a little, a message from the, uh, sponsors here. I don’t know i shouldn’t say sponsor because, uh, maybe it’s not a sponsor, but let’s, uh, Let’s ta

    William from Where Have You Been

    William A conversation between Bob and Bill, the creator of the Where Have You Been (WHYB) podcast. Bill explains that his show focuses on the personal stories and life-enriching experiences of travelers rather than just logistical tips and tricks. He shares his own late-blooming passion for travel, which was sparked only ten years ago by his wife, and discusses his upcoming 24-hour journey to New Zealand to visit his daughter. The two delve into the cultural significance of travel, comparing it to the way people in St. Louis use high school affiliations to quickly understand someone’s background. WHYB? https://youtube.com/live/sFVDiDvg_x8 Bad AI Transcript Hey everybody, welcome to a conversation with Bill from the Where Have You Been podcast or WHYB podcast. So where have you been? For a minute there, I was thinking just WHYB and I know that’s not the name of the show. So it’s kind of interesting the way it works out that way, WHYB. Yeah, I’ve had people try to tell me I should push it that way, and I feel like that would just confuse people more than I already confuse people. And at WHYB podcast on most of the socials, I guess, right? Yeah, pretty much everywhere. Oh, good. We’re just going to get these things out of the way. We’ll hit them again later, but I always like to just start off with that. So people, you know, they’re like, I don’t really want to listen to Bob. Bill’s the interesting one. Let’s just go listen to him directly and just forget this whole Bob situation. So then they’re all set, right? So they don’t have to think about anything. That’ll do. So, Bill, why are you asking people where they’ve been? Are you the government? Officially, no. But unofficially, I guess someday you’ll see. Honestly, it’s something that, you know, obviously… Well, maybe not everyone knows, but you were also a guest on my podcast as well. That’s how we met. And I wasn’t sure if you knew that. So now you do. Honestly, it’s just something that I have a passion for travel. I’ve had a passion for travel for many years and just found that having conversations with other people who are passionate about travel just turn into very long conversations and they’re very enjoyable. And so I thought, well, I have a radio background. Maybe we turn this into something fun. Oh, yeah. There you go. Look at that. I’m being all fancy here. So this is your website here. Where have you been? Yeah, no, that’s fun, though. I mean, it is interesting that, you know, sometimes people ask that question, but not all the time, right? So some people really aren’t interested in where people have been, but honestly, it tells you a little bit about the person, don’t you think? Whenever you find out, you know, if this person’s been to certain places, doesn’t it kind of like, Oh wait, this, you know, puts them in a little, and I don’t want to say categorizes people, but it certainly gives you an idea about them perhaps. Yeah, for sure. And I think that you and I may have even touched on this when we talked before that really travel, I think really kind of opens your eyes to, what’s really out there in the world and really can enrich your life in so many ways. And so when you find out that someone has traveled around, you know, even if it’s just around the U.S. or whatever, it’s still I think it does. It does tell you something about somebody. A, they’ve got they’ve had some funds to be able to travel. No, that’s not what we’re looking for. But yeah, it really does kind of tell you something about somebody, I think. And it doesn’t mean that someone who hasn’t traveled doesn’t have that. had some enrichment in their life or some fulfillment but it’s just a completely different thing once you actually do it if you enjoy it well but the other thing would be not so much not, but you, then you find out, well, they don’t like to travel. Maybe they’re like, no, I don’t want to travel anywhere. I don’t, I just stay home. And so then that, that says something as well. Right. So, um, not that there’s anything bad with it. It’s just, you know it everybody’s uh you know, kind of personalities are all different. And so all these things help make up your personality in St. I’m from, I’m in St. Louis, Missouri. And one of the, one of the weird things about St. Louis, I’m not originally from St. Louis, but I moved here when I was, you know, out of college. The, one of the things that people always ask people from St. Louis who grew up here is where did you go to high school? And they ask that question because then it gives them an immediate, huge amount of information on that person. Because depending on where you went to high school and depending on what era now, it’s becoming less and less relevant, but it was very relevant for people my age. And it gives the person who you’re talking to, okay, now we know you went to the county school. We know you went to a city school. We know you went to a private school. And so then it kind of shapes the conversation because then you go, oh, then maybe you know this person or that person or whatever. And so the travel question is kind of a similar setup, right? So you ask the person about that. You’re like, well, for me, I’m like, well, I’ve traveled mostly domestically, right? So then you go, oh, have you been here? Have you been there? And it’s like an almost immediate narrowing of topic areas for you, which, so you don’t have to sit there and go, well, you know, it snowed last week. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I’ll be honest with you though. Most of the people that I talk to, well, especially, especially when, with the podcast, I don’t talk to a lot of people who, uh, has, who says, uh, I traveled once or twice and I just didn’t really like it. That would be a very short podcast episode, but you know, I’m sure that there’s people out there that that’s happened. Um, a thousand percent. Um, My mom was one of those. She she enjoyed she enjoyed vehicular travel, did not care for airplane travel whatsoever. And so she was very limited. But so I guess I’m not really tying that together because she did, I guess, enjoy travel to some degree. But she just didn’t really want to do the long range travel, you know. So is this recently or in the past? Because I think airline. airline travel has changed drastically over the last 20 years. Yeah, it didn’t matter. It didn’t matter. But then, you know, my dad, who’s still alive, God bless him. He doesn’t really care about travel either. Like we used to take the family trips when we were young. We used to do Florida. I grew up in Western New York. So we would go to Florida every winter for a week or two or whatever. And in the summertime or spring, we would go to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. And that was basically it, unless we were going to see family somewhere. And my dad’s somebody who just, I don’t think he, you know, he might go see his brother down in Texas or wherever he’s at now. But again, it’s, that’s a trip to see family, not a trip to travel. And so. That’s interesting. And that makes a difference as well. Right. So because I think, I don’t know, statistically, I can’t answer this question, but I think families are more dispersed nowadays, like say in the 21st century here. than they were in the 20th century. And so there becomes a lot of travel just to see family because you don’t get to see them regularly. Like before where everybody was each other’s neighbors and everything. So that could be a change as well. And for some people like myself who are very lucky and blessed, you have family who lives in New Zealand, which is where I’m heading actually in a couple of weeks to see my daughter finally. Oh, wow. That’s right. Yeah. She’s a Kiwi. She’s a Kiwi then. I think you and I talked about it. I wanted to try to get there. Well, now I’m actually going. So thank goodness. Wow. Now, how long a flight is that? Start to finish from Pittsburgh, which is where I’m based. It’s about 24 hours each way with layovers and such. So where are you going to bounce from? Like, where do you go? Which is the points of switching or at least waiting? Well, they are located in Wellington. So I’ll bounce to Dallas and then it’s straight from Dallas to Auckland, which is at the very upper tip of the North Island coast. And then a little, just a quick flight from the tip to the southernmost part of the North Island. Yeah, there’s a show called Wellington Paranormal. I’ve heard of it. You should check it out. Maybe I should before I go, yeah. Yeah, just in case. That way you can avoid some nastiness down there in Wellington because it’s a comedy show. Yeah. But that’s a long way to go from Dallas all the way to Auckland. You’d think they would break it up somewhere in the middle. I guess there’s no real place to break it up. Not really, I don’t think. No, I think it is what it is, man. You’re going to load up in Texas and then be on the plane forever. Yeah, I just feel bad for those around me. I’ve got to find something to stop my snoring. So do you sleep on the plane? I guess you do. I would never. I have a hard time. I typically don’t. No, I typically don’t. So the longest trip I think I took, I’ve been to Europe a handful of times, but I feel like the longest flight, maybe it was just because it was my first ever international flight, was to Athens. And I did not sleep on the flight. And I had a really rough go. Because we only had like one day in Athens and then we were taken off for Santorini. And we walked and walked and walked and it was hot. And we wound up in a museum near the Acropolis or whatever it was. And I literally fell asleep standing up. Oh, no. Yeah, literally fell asleep standing up. And it was time to go get some coffee after that. Oh, my gosh. I’ve never done that before or

    Mondo Freako - Sallie House

    Sallie House The Sallie House, located in Atchison, Kansas, is widely regarded as one of the most haunted locations in the United States. Its notoriety stems primarily from the 1990s, when Tony and Debra Pickman moved into the home and experienced a series of increasingly violent paranormal events. While the house has a long history, the legend centers on “Sallie,” a young girl who allegedly died in the house during a botched, unanesthetized appendectomy performed by a doctor who lived there in the early 20th century. Although historical records of this specific death are debated, the activity reported within the walls is chillingly consistent. 1000 Crazy Questions https://youtube.com/live/X-c8hqst360 Transcript (AI transcription) I see you have a lot of lights there in your space. Do they ever float around the room? Yeah, but only when you’re not looking. You turn around, you look, and then they stop. It’s kind of like the boo thing from Mario. Yes and no. Yes and no. Well, that’s good. I’m glad it’s not too terrible for you. welcome to mondo frico i’ve got used to peers from 1000 crazy questions Podcast. We’re going to talk about some weird stuff tonight. But not a thousand things. Only one. I’ll let him do the thousand part. How’s it going tonight? It’s going good. It’s going cool. It’s a nice, warm winter day. uh over where i am uh i go by Houston, but i’m currently living in Colorado, so it’s it’s really weird. It’s really weird that i got you want to be dead with Pierce? It doesn’t have the same ring to it no it doesn’t uh but yeah no it’s it’s going cool it’s i mean it’s going warm. Yeah. You could be uh coors pierce that would be good. Coors? Oh, like Coors, Denver? Yeah. I found out that was actually a spot in Denver a week ago. Oh, really? Yeah, I didn’t know that. Coors is actually a city called Coors? Yeah, that’s the thing. Coors is a place. I just love the beer. That’s all I thought. Is it in Denver? I know there’s a place called Coors. I mean, somewhere in there in Colorado, but yeah. Yeah. That’s interesting. Well, we aren’t going to talk about Colorado this week. We’re going to, well, actually, I shouldn’t. Do you want to take the quiz first? You want me to tell you what we’re going to talk about? Let’s quiz. I’ll do this. Oh, he’s going to go right into it. Yeah. Confident in myself. Let’s go. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. I can’t believe he opted for the quiz right out of the gate. So this is going to be really interesting because he doesn’t, Houston doesn’t know anything about the topic tonight. I picked the topic. And so he’s going to try his luck at the quiz. Let me see if I can get this to work here, Houston. I’ve got some new stuff going on here. If I can find it, there it is. Oh, that’s the wrong one. Hold on a second. That’s not what we wanted. I was like, that’s easy. Yeah, that was easy. That’s a one question quiz. One question. I think it looks like a website. What is a website, Bob? Here we go. All right, there we are. Can you see that at all? Maybe not too big. Okay, I can see now. It’s coming into focus. Okay, good. So this is the quiz for tonight’s topic, which is the Sally House. The Sally House is in Kansas, and it is one of the most haunted houses in America. Ready? Ready? Are you ready for this quiz? In which Kansas town is the Sally House located? You got Wichita, Atchison, a very spooky Walmart parking lot, or Topeka? I’ll actually give you a hint if you want it. I’ll save my hint for later, Bob. I want to use up my lifelines all at once. I have a strong feeling It’s B, just because it sounds like a place that this would be. Atchison sounds creepy, decrepit, and spooky. Wichita, like witch, is a little too on the nose. All Walmart parking lots are haunted. They’re not special. So it’s not the most haunted. I know it’s not there. Topeka, maybe, but I’m just going to say B off of gut instinct of how that sounds very witch, I mean haunted-like. It sounds very haunted. B for Atchison. Atchison. Okay. Let’s see what happens. Oh, there we go. Sorry. I hit the wrong button again. That’s right. It is Atchison, Kansas. And the funny thing is I have actually been to Atchison and I’ve actually stood in front of the Sally house. Oh, whoa. Yeah. We’ll talk more about that later, but, uh, Move on to question number two. So you’re one up. I don’t know if you can see that little green thing there, but you’re one up. So there you go. Keep track for us here. According to the legend, what surgery was being performed on Sally when she allegedly died from the Sally house? A, a wisdom tooth extraction. B, a tonsillectomy. C, appendicitis. Oh, my. I thought I was doing so good. Appendectomy or D, a tragic accident involving a runaway unicycle. Oh, no. I have a hint if you want it. You can take a hint. Okay, I’ll take a hint on this one. I was feeling, but I’ll take a hint. It involves the removal of a small finger-shaped pouch in the abdomen. Oh, okay. I wish I had gone with my gut because this confirms my gut feeling. I think it’s the appendectomy. The C, the C one. That’s right. That’s right. The story says she died during an emergency appendectomy. Wow. Well, you’re doing great. You got two for two. Didn’t even know the topic. Yeah, I should have not taken the hint. I wanted to keep the streak of just hitting them without hints, but it’s too late. It’s too late. Too late. Yeah, well, I think I threw you there because I couldn’t pronounce everything. But here we go. This looks like I can get here. Which family lived in the house during the 1990s and brought the case to national attention? The Ghostbusters, the Winchesters, the Pickmans, or the Addams Family? I got a hint still. Oh, we have a hint for each one in case you need it. Oh, okay. Okay. So no hit this time, just cause I want it. I want to redeem myself. Uh, the ghostbusters are a team of four. I don’t know if they, they, they have a, Oh, you know what? I know. So I noticed the ghostbusters cause they have a firehouse. I know not to pick that one. In New York, not in Kansas. Exactly. You almost tricked me. The Evans family, no. I think this is the Winchesters. I’m saying that off of background knowledge from some paranormal show I saw one time. It’s a very out there name. Pickman’s is very normal. It’s either B or C, but I’m going to go with B. Want to go with B? Yep. Oh. Pickman. Pickman. No, it was the Pickmans. Tony and Deborah Pickman documented their terrifying experiences in the Sally house. Sorry. Dang. I should have taken that. Only one wrong but two right. So you’re still doing good. You’re doing great. Let’s move on to the next one here. Number four, what physical evidence frequently appeared on Tony Pickman’s body? A, passive-aggressive sticky notes. B, glowing green handprints. C, temporary tattoos of butterflies. Or D, scratches and welts. Oh, wow. This is interesting. I don’t know what to do here. I’ll take the hint this time. You going to take the hint this time? With no shame. This is tough. Think of the marks left by fingernails or claws. Okay. Oh, well, passive-aggressive sticky notes, of course. Are you really going to go with that one? No, I’ll go with D. I’ll go with D. D, scratches and welts. Scratches and welts. That’s right. i want to say the notes, that were funny. They found passive aggressive digging yeah tony was famously the target of aggressive physical attacks by an entity in the sally house. entity some sort of Classic haunting signs. Exactly. So we’re on number five of seven. You’ve got three. You get one more. Essentially, you’re gonna be a winner. So we’ve got two more tries here, or three more tries to get it, but you’ll be fine. We’ll see. Which 1990s paranormal show first featured the house in its investigations? The Great British Bake Off Haunted Edition, Ghost Adventures, X-Files, or Sightings? Ooh. Okay. No hint this time. I’m going to win this game, honest. And the Great British Bake Off… That’s a good one. Ghost of Interest, I think, came out in the early 2000s. X-Files, I know. Sightings, I don’t know. But I know it’s either C or D for this one. I’m going to say, oh, man, Sightings, actually, because X-Files is more about fictional supernatural things, I think, or stories more so. Yeah, I’m going to say Sightings. Sightings. Wow, I love the way you work your way through these things. That’s right. Sightings is it. Okay. Sightings ran multiple segments on the Sally House. So there you go. All right. You’re already winning, but we have a couple more questions if you want to just work through them. Oh, yeah. Let’s go. Who was the doctor that actually owned and lived in the house during the early 1900s? Was it Dr. Phil? No. Dr. Seuss, Dr. Frankenstein, or Dr. Charles Finney? I am going to say Dr. Phil. No joke. Because Phil is actually a common name. There’s not one of the odds it’s actually the Dr. Phil. I’m saying it’s Dr. Phil. I’m so serious. You want to say Dr. Phil? I’m saying Phil. It could be Dr. Phil. Okay. Oh, no. Dr. Charles Finney. Not every Phil is the Dr. Phil, you know? Dr. Phil Houston, you got a problem. Number seven, last one. You’re still a winner here. What is a common theory among modern paranormal investigators about the entity Sally? A, the ghost is just a very confused squirrel. B, is it a demon mimicking a child? C, it’s actually the ghost of a grumpy landlord. Or D, it’s a residual recording with no intelligence. Residual recording with no intelligence. Intelligents, yes. I’m going to say B, demon mimicking a child. The demon mimicking a child. And that’s right. There you go. Maybe believe the violent nature of the house suggests a darker entity. Wow. Great job. All right. Great job. You got five out of seven. And you won the night here

I’ll take one, one. could you leave me? So if i can ever get the miles to move on this idea, we just created two albums worth of songs that we are going to uh sing poorly yeah oh really i was going to try to get the music too, just for fun. Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We’ll sing poorly for everyone. um Just for fun. I will. Okay. Yeah. If I can never get him to sit down and actually do it. We did the easy work of coming up with the song. Like, you got to memorize the lyrics? Yeah. Or should we do it just karaoke style and just bet them out? Yeah. Let’s just make it up. Make up words. I touched myself. Yeah. Oh, we didn’t even include that one. I know. All right. Go back and redo the list. Yeah. You got to put that on the list, man. Come on. We’ll have to have a debate about it, so. I think you say that every goddamn day, man. You’re like, hey, Miles, you know what I just did? What? I touched myself. I honestly do. I honestly do. I honestly do. It’s almost unavoidable, you know. I can’t help myself. All right, you know, yeah, okay. When I think about me. Yeah. Touch my own self. Yeah, my butt yeah I got I got Gary Coleman syndrome. Yeah, you’re the king of all, man. You’re the king of all myself oh my goodness. This weather is getting me down man this what this uh cold cold cold weather Yeah. You drive me a little nutty. I don’t know what’s going on there. Don’t like it. Okay. First, last week he said about work. Now the weather. I mean, what’s next with this guy? Oh, I’m grumpy. Maybe if I took a car dealership errand boy’s advice, I would have a happier life. A happy ending. Well, I don’t know about that, but So I happen to be in, well, I was in Decatur over last week at one point. Not to brag. No, not to brag, not to, you know, I’ve been to Prague, I’ve been to Zurich, and I’ve been to Decatur. Yeah. Yeah, I was in Decatur, and when my wife, we were driving, and we were driving along out in the country because I took a slight detour to some old, you know, old stomping grounds. And I’m like, man, it smells like a skunk. Did we hit a skunk? Like bad. Like it really smelled like we hit it or something. And she’s like, we didn’t hit anything. And I’m like, I mean, I was driving. Are we sure? I’m sure I didn’t clip a skunk. And, uh, and so we we’re going down this country road. I mean, it just got smelling worse and worse. And then i’m like, well, maybe that, because we were behind this guy who was in a truck for a well-known car dealer indicator. I’m like, maybe that guy, uh, well, the bob brady guy is actually the bob brady’s name of the place. Bob Brady guy hit a skunk because it really smells real skunky. Bob Brady. Come on down to Bob. And she’s like, yeah, I guess it’s probably a Bob Brady. Let’s see if he turns off because we were coming up near Bob Brady. Yeah. And we’ll see if it smells better. And so we get up. Well, then he doesn’t turn into Bob Brady and he’s still in front of us. I’m like, well, he’s not turning off. I’m like, I mean, he’s going like the same direction we are. And so then we finally get to the point where he gets ready to turn, like the stop sign and everything. This dude is firing up. Like the whole cab is filled with smoke. He’s just smoking pot like nobody’s business. In the Bob Brady parts truck or whatever. I don’t know where the hell he was going. He passed Bob Brady. He went past it. I mean, this guy was, I mean, it was like he was hotboxing himself. It was like a diamond bullet. And I’m like, wow. Wow, wow, wow. I’m like, this guy’s really getting away with it. He drove right by the place. The whole cab is filled with smoke. Yeah, Cheech and Chong movie or something. Yeah, exactly. Hey, man. I was, I was, I wondered if maybe he didn’t even notice. I was, uh, it was so weird. I’m like, and then he turns off and of course, boom, that was, he’s got like this incredible amount of skunk weed going on in the, uh, Bob Brady Dodge parts delivery. No one will notice. Yeah. No, no one’s going to notice. They’re going to notice and talk about this. They’re going to know. but i couldn’t believe it i was like oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I’m so hilarious. I’m like this guy, he’s really good. I mean, I wonder if he’s like bob Brady, the fourth or something yeah right you know maybe it’s like bob brady yeah it was but hey i gotta this car prices are getting me down, man. I gotta go for a ride. This price is too high. Yeah, prices are too high. They can’t get any higher. Watch this. It’s all legal. Yeah. So, yeah, Bob Brady was smoking. I mean, he had to have more than a joint. It had to be like a bong or something because this was a lot of smoke. I mean, it was incredible amount of smoke. Oh, my God. This is definitely a Cheech and Chong movie. I couldn’t believe it. Then, yeah. The air cleared up. It didn’t smell skunky. He’s listening to Lowrider. I got a kilo of super skunk weed here in Bob Brady. Some Illinois green. Yeah. Growing out in the farm in the wheat fields there by the highway. Lament’s own. There you go. Branded. Thank you. Yeah. No, I was just like, you know, more power to the guy. But I was just like, that was an odd one. I was not, you know, on the scorecard for the day. It was not. Yeah. Bob Brady parts guy getting super high driving down the road. Then he had the munchies. He had to go to Crackles. Okay. I went to Crackles. I did. I went to Crackles. He did not go to Crackle’s. I went to Crackle’s. Oh my gosh, it was so good. I met a friend there. I met a friend there for lunch. I put one of those air tags in your car. I hope it’s okay. There’s about a 25% chance when I go to the cater, you’ll know exactly where I’m going. Yeah, I was going to say. You go to three places every time. Yeah, I was like, yeah. But I did. I went to Crackle’s. Oh, it was delicious. Monocle’s. We didn’t go to Monocle’s. I would go there. Yeah, Monocle’s. Crackles. Yeah, yeah. And the rest of them, for Christ’s sake. Right now, you’re wherever I go for lunch. Yeah, you’re pretty. You’re like a book, man. Yeah, I am. Oh, it was so good. Crackles hamburger. It was fantastic. Crackles. Yeah, it was invited, so I don’t know. No, I met my friend, uh, for lunch and, uh, and we had a nice chat and i was like, man, I think i got contact. Hi. Hey man. Dave’s not here, man. It’s like, it’s the bob brady buzz mobile get a free yeah i was driving around. It’s like uh nice dreams or something yeah yeah did you order the oil change? Sergeant Stanko. I could not believe that this was actually happening. Hey, Yoder, man, do I smell like skunk weed? Yeah, man. Yeah, I thought about him the other day. Yeah. Yeah. You know, send me a note. Or not. Or not. No, he’s still out there. Yeah. I think he’s… For some reason, I was looking people up, and I think he’s still married to the woman that he married when I knew him and is still living a nice life somewhere. Okay. Yeah. Near Decatur. Operator, operator. Yeah. Every once in a while, I get these weird nostalgia kicks where I’ll look people up and whatnot. Now, there’s two less people now because, you know. Mm-hmm. two of the friends who passed away. Well, more than two, but too recently, I’ll put it that way. Right, right. Yeah. So, yeah, now I just need to find some others. I’m actually watching something about, this doesn’t have to do with anything, but it was like, you know, best places to eat in Illinois, and a lot of it was like central Illinois, but I don’t think they even throw out anything about Decatur at all. Really? It has some of the best places. Maybe Kreckles did once, but I don’t know. It was like best barbecue and best hamburger and best, you know. Kreckles, you know, they still have the rooster car. Some people call it the c**k car, but anyway. Sure, you’ve ridden both. The giant rooster mobile. Yeah. Kreckles is so good. I don’t Yeah. Well, next time we are in that neighborhood, I will take you to Crackle’s. All right. And then you’ll be like, no, that’s great. Not that great. It’s not as good as White Castle or anything. McDonald’s is better. Yeah, I know. Smidge pulled that on me once. McDonald’s is better? Are you kidding me? No, I don’t know. I brought him somewhere once, and he’s all like, this is not even like Chicago, man. Miles, your food sucks. All right. Sorry, man. Sorry. But yeah, I did go to Krekkel’s and I got myself a Krekkel burger. Life was good. I actually want to go back to D-Town one of these days. I’ll take you down where the bears used to practice. Down in the city where you love it. Yeah, where people throw concrete on your car. Yeah, the most dangerous city maybe. Maybe. So, yeah. But, yeah, Bob Brady, obviously not drug testing, so Bob Brady probably better talk to the parts guy because he’s blazing up pretty big in the old parts car, the parts pickup. Yeah, probably someone’s nephew or something. Yeah. I mean, you know. Yeah. But it was funny. Oh, it’s the Bob Brady car. Oh, my gosh. It’s either a skunk or skunk weed, honey. I don’t know which. Skunk weed. It was not, you know, grade A primo kind of stuff. Let me put it that way. It was pretty skunky. You had to inform your wife. She’s like, what’s marijuana? Do you know Miles and how stupid he is? Yeah. He smoked a lot of marijuana when he was a baby. Not

You stole fizzy lifting drink. It’s in my cheeks. I just want to give a big thank you to Miles for cheering me up tonight. I was having a shit day, and then I get on with him, and he’s doing stupid, goofy shit, and then I made fun of him, and I felt so much better. I ain’t dressed in front of a camera for him. I wasn’t going to mention that part. That was the negative aspect of things. He started to feel a lot better about himself when he’s like, you know what, maybe I am not a loser after all. Yeah, I’m not such a loser. God damn. I will tell you, though, if you really want to force yourself to throw up, have Miles call you, FaceTime you, With his phone sitting on a table looking up at his naked body while a ceiling fan is spinning in the ceiling. It was my only fans. I was getting nauseous and then the fan made me dizzy. Oh, yeah. They do it in Apocalypse Valley. They’re geniuses. If only I was in Vietnam and drunk on my ass. Quad cities. Yeah. Quad cities. I’m going to go up the Danang River. Bob keeps getting stronger and I keep getting weaker. Getting weaker. I’ll go down to Mississippi. That’s right. Go down to Mississippi. That gave me a mission. I’m heading down to New Orleans to get a beignet. Bob is working on his own accord. Oh, yeah. No one’s going to claim us. We’re off the map.

I sent you this picture because we were laughing because that’s not even me. That’s my wife’s leg. Oh, my gosh. I didn’t even notice. It’s horribly bruised. She bruises very easily. What was funny was she had her foot tucked in under her leg, so her foot almost looks like a ball sack. I totally assumed that was your leg, to be honest. It looks like someone’s had their ass cheeks whipped pretty well and like they’re like on their stomach or something it’s a weird it’s a weird picture like ass cheeks to me but you’re right that does look like a ball bag yeah it did i’m we’re all laughing like god what the hell i’m looking at it right now but to be honest i thought that was your leg honestly no no no wow miles’s leg i mean he always teases me for not having any hair but gosh yeah like it’s supple I didn’t even realize it wasn’t your leg. Well, there you go. Yeah. Cause it looks terrible. No, he’s not. Okay. As he laughs maniacally. Well, we’ve almost filled up our punch card for the ER. Well, I think, I think they give you like a couple of free ones every year. Anyway. Yeah. It’s not, you know, start of a year without the ER, you know, Mrs. Tidal, so good to see you. It’s only the second week of January. We’re like Elvis. We have our own room in there. What’s going on? Did you push her off the patio or what the hell’s going on? Luckily, I’m old and I was just kind of getting over that illness. I was dealing with that bad thing, cold or whatever. You were sick for about a month and a half. It seemed like it. And I actually had gone to bed before 10 o’clock that night. So I’m like, okay, all right. I can’t sleep normally. Yeah. Well, I don’t usually go to bed. I’m not old. You know, I don’t go to bed that early. But anyway, so. You know, Netflix has got a lesbian channel. We’re going to watch Wives, I guess, here. Okay. And so I’m asleep. And now all of a sudden. Oh, my gosh. I’m like, what? I’m like, all this crazy screaming. I’m like, what? And you’re like, honey, I didn’t even make it to REM yet, and you already brought the boyfriend in? Yeah, I know. I was getting a REM job. And no, I thought it was actually time to get up. I thought it was like 630 or something. I’m like, what? I look. It’s like one o’clock. One o’clock in the morning. And then the screaming stopped, so I thought, well, maybe I’ll just wait and see. Well, it was dark. I mean, I didn’t want to get hurt. There’s wild screaming in the house. You wake up, and then you’re like, well, I mean, that could mean a lot of different things. I go, maybe if it quit, though, maybe it’s not as bad as I thought. I think it’s worth investigating. And I thought, what would Bob do? I thought, okay, I better get out of here. I better check this out. You know, God only knows he’s cut off her finger again or whatever. She’s in the dark. She’s in the bathroom and she has decided she had to go to the bathroom. It’s dark. She lost her footing and she fell and she tried to catch herself and she ended up fracturing, uh, her wrist.

    Mondo Freako - Jersey Devil

    Jersey Devil The Jersey Devil, a legendary cryptid from the Pine Barrens; Frank successfully completes a trivia quiz on the creature’s lore—including its origin as the 13th child of Mother Leeds—before sharing his personal theory that cryptids and UFOs are interdimensional beings slipping through “thin” spots in our reality. The duo concludes by discussing the limitations of human perception, suggesting that our brains may “photoshop” out strange phenomena that don’t fit our standard three-dimensional understanding of the world. The Overnightscape https://youtube.com/live/FDUyZuOkit0 Transcript (AI transcription) So Frank, how’s New Jersey these days? Well, New Jersey is like Antarctica at this point. It’s very frigid, a lot of ice and snow everywhere. Other than that, it’s Jersey. There’s nothing else like Jersey. It’s one of the greatest places in the world and a very weird place as well. The garden state. Yes, absolutely. Welcome to Mondo Frico. How’s everybody doing today? My guest is going to be Mr. Frank. Do we do Frank Edward Nora for your guest appearances as well? Yes. Frank Edward Nora. Yes. You all three of them. Okay. I wasn’t sure. Frank Edward Nora. We’re going to talk a little bit about the Jersey devil. Frank is a big proponent of the state of New Jersey, as you just heard at the intro. And so what if you had to say, what’s your favorite thing about New Jersey? besides the Jersey devil, obviously, what would it be? Well, I mean, to people outside New Jersey, it has this horrible reputation and people think it’s just this dirty smelling, like piece of crap place to live. But when you’re here, you understand, first of all, it has pretty much everything. It’s like, if you took the entire United States and sort of crushed it down into this tiny, tiny, tiny area, New Jersey is that. So we have weird, We have the mountain lands in the north with people who are hunters out west. Down south, we have these weird pine barrens, which we’re going to talk about with these weird hillbilly-type people. We have cities. We have seashores. We have everything. And it is by far the most densely populated state in the United States. But beyond all that, so people that are here generally love New Jersey. Because you get to know all the roads and towns and areas. It’s almost like driving through different dimensions. They’re so distinct. Like I would take drives even down to where my parents used to live. And each of the different ways I could go had such a different feeling. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in other places. But beyond all that, there is just this weird sense of strangeness and greatness that is very hard to pin down and put into words that exists here in New Jersey. And everyone knows about it. You know, there’s that magazine Weird New Jersey that very much touches on all of that stuff. But it is something of a magical place. And the fact that everyone looks down on us just makes us more, you know, makes us love New Jersey all the more. In fact, there’s the New Jersey Hall of Fame opened recently in the American Dream Mall. And they have a whole movie about that aspect. It’s about New Jersey overall, but about how people in New Jersey, you know, take that as a mark of pride. And of course, As we’re going to talk about, we have the best state monster of any state. We have the Jersey duck. The best state monster, of course. And it’s certainly a different monster, I would say. Definitely. Well, if folks don’t know, Frank has a show called The Overnightscape that’s been going on now for 24 years. I couldn’t remember. It was like 23 years. 23 years. 23 years. Okay. Yeah. And you can catch it at the overnight. I misspelled night there. Dang it. Overnightscape. I forgot the T. Yeah. Theovernightscape.com. Yeah. Yeah. There we go. That’s more like it. That’s it. Theovernightscape.com. And so you can, I’ve been listening to Frank for 23 years now. Yeah. Pretty much. I think I caught you really early on. So. Well, you were doing the, what was it called before that? You were doing a different show. Well, you were kind of doing a bunch of different things prior to the Overnightscape emerging. And I remember I listened to that stuff and contacted you way back when. What was it called? Bluffcosm.com. Yes, Bluffcosm.com was my first internet radio website. And then when podcasting started, I actually took your XML feed to make my XML feed. We both started real. We were some of the first podcasters, you and I. I know. Isn’t that crazy to think about? I’m like, it’s been, yeah. So we just entered our 27th year of doing the show, the Static Radio. And then I’m doing this thing here. It’s goofiness here, Mondo Frico. That actually appears on Static Radio as well. But yeah, so it’s been a long time going. going here? It’s amazing. I’m trying to decide, you know uh if it’s i like to think of it as something that’s been really, really good and positive. But then i also think about oh gosh i’ve been doing this for 27 years. Is there something wrong with me you know you gotta ask yourself these things. I don’t know. I ask myself that all the time, what, what is going on with this stuff? But, uh, you know, I have faith in the people of the future that they will discover our works and enjoy them on into the far future. Yes. Yeah. Let’s just do that. Let’s go with that. I mean, it’s been an interesting ride and, and you and I’ve actually did a thing on another project called prior caster. We talk about all that stuff. So, but here on Mondo, you know, we talk about weird things and I think, uh, let’s just go into the quiz, shall we? Yes. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. All right. So we’re going to go into the quiz on the Jersey Devil. I’m going to ask you five questions. They should get harder as we go along. So the earlier ones will be easier. The later ones should be harder. And it’s multiple choice. So don’t, you know, you wait for your choices in case. All right. First question. Where is the legendary home of the Jersey Devil? Is it A, the Pine Barrens, B, a slightly damp corner of the Newark Airport baggage claim, C, the Appalachian Mountains, or D, the Great Dismal Swamp? That would be A, the Pine Barrens. All right. You got it right. This is an easy one. You also mentioned the Pine Barrens already. Yes, already, yes. So as we move along here and get a little tougher, what is the most commonly cited number of children that Mother Leeds had before the birth of the devil, the Jersey Devil? Would it be A, 8, B, 10, C, 12, or D, 47, but 45 of them were just very enthusiastic squirrels? That would be C, 12. Oh, my gosh. It was the 13th child. Yes. It was the devil. Yes. All right. Two for two. Frank is killing it. All right. So let’s move on here. Number three. The period of most intense sightings that brought the creature national and international attention occurred over a single week in what specific month and year? February 2012 when he lost his car keys near a Wawa. July 1890, January 1909, or December 1855? I’m going to have to guess the 1855. Going with D, 1855? Yeah. It was January 1909. You were very close. Okay. Very, very close, right? I mean, they’re all old. I mean, the Wawa one was obviously out of the… It was not anywhere near it. So, okay, well, you’re two for one now. Still going to win it, I think. So, in 1909, one of the most famous reported encounters involved a postmaster and his wife. In what specific town were they claimed to have been trapped in their house while the creatures circled outside? Was it A, Trenton, B, Gloucester City, or if I said that correctly, C, Atlantic City, D, Freehold, or E, inside a hollowed out artisanal cheese wheel? I would have to say Gloucester City. Oh, Gloucester City. You want to change your answer or you think that’s it? Final answer. All right. Gloucester City. So I actually came close to saying it correctly. So that was right. All right. So you got Three for one. You’re doing fantastic. You’re going to win now. This is inevitable. You’re in the Super Bowl. Can we say that? We’re not saying it about monsters. It’s a big game. Yeah, it’s a big game. The historical non-supernatural Leeds family in New Jersey was significant. Which of the following is true about Daniel Leeds, who founded the family’s presence in the state and whose almanac printing business was may be related to the legend. Was it A, he was a famous Quaker abolitionist who fled the state. B, he was a prominent early New Jersey Almanac printer who was in a political and religious feud with the Burlington Quaker establishment. C, he invented the Taylor Ham versus pork roll debate just to annoy people. Or D, he was an explorer who first mapped the Pine Barren regions. That’s a mouthful there. I think the answer is B. B, he was a prominent early New Jersey almanac printer who was in a political and religious feud with the Burlington Quaker establishment. Yes, final answer. That’s right. Wow. Four correct, only one wrong, which was a year, which I always think those are the hardest questions, to be honest with you. Don’t you? Yeah, it can be tough getting that actual year. Yeah, nailing down a year is just too much, I think. Well, congratulations, you won that. So you really, you know your devil lore.

And so we’re sitting there and these… guys show up and they’re standing at the bar, which is not that far away, right? So it was like, we’re right in the table area, but close to the bar. And I couldn’t believe it, but somebody was at the bar cussing so much that it upset my wife. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is made up. This is a made up story. This is a fake story.

I can’t see the Matterhorn. God damn it. That’s right. Your wife says god damn it a lot yeah yeah so yeah so i was like, really? You know? I couldn’t believe it. I was laughing and she was getting aggravated with me because I was thinking, this is so out of the realm, right? I really wish we didn’t sit so close to the bar. Those guys were being rude. I’m like, you didn’t sound any different than you. You’re right. Yeah, you’re right. I think you have not witnessed this. I was going to call you a liar, but you might be right. But the whole time we were eating, it was funny. And then we’re eating, and she keeps looking over at him and kind of giving him kind of a dirty look. And I’m like, what prude is this that I’m having dinner with, is what I was thinking. Is it all religious or something? No, not at all. She still curses like crazy. Yeah. but I guess it was bothering her because she goes, and so then when we’re, we left and I’m like, you know, I can’t believe you got so upset with these people cursing at the bar, you know, these are your people. Yeah. You’re related to these people, obviously. And she’s like, no, it wasn’t just the cursing. They were so goddamn loud. They’re just fucking so loud. Yeah. Wait, was it the cursing or the volume then? It was the volume. Oh, okay. So everyone could hear F this, F you. It’s like there were kids there. I wouldn’t cuss in front of all those children. Oh, come on. It was so goddamn loud. I couldn’t. I’m like, oh, okay. I was misinterpreting. I thought it was just the cursing. She’s like, a little bit. i call b******t. I call b******t on this one.

Yeah. seahawks is one, right? Yeah, and Broncos. I said those two would go oh yeah i think i said the uh denver wins i think i had to look it up. I don’t know i think so.

I’m like, when is this Super Bowl happening? Because there’s all these good pizza deals that maybe I can get on. We better get a fucking good pizza deal. That’s all I can fucking think. But to finish up real quick, the guys annoyed her and then the pizza wasn’t that great. So she heard it was really good and then it turned out to be just, it was okay. It wasn’t great. Hey, welcome to Five Fucking Guys Pizza. Exactly. So she was a little disappointed with the food as well. I thought it was fine. She’s like, yeah, but it wasn’t.

    LeMent Tonight 011526

    This Week In this episode of LeMent Tonight, host Bob welcomes Leanne Linsky, the founder and CEO of Plauzzable.com, a virtual comedy platform designed to provide comedians with a global stage and a simplified infrastructure for their business. During the interview, Linsky shares her background in comedy and her extensive history of volunteerism, which includes hosting TV shows for children at Kravis Children’s Hospital and running improv workshops for various non-profits. She reflects on the “good comedy karma” that comes from giving back and explains how Plauzzable aims to foster community and help independent creators succeed. The conversation also highlights a major upcoming update for Plausible, featuring a redesign that incorporates an event directory for both online and in-person comedy shows, improved comedian profiles, and a more equitable revenue model. To keep things light, Bob and Leanne play a trivia game called “Most Plausible,” where Leanne successfully identifies clues about the late Richard Lewis. They wrap up with a round of “Ask Not,” where Leanne offers hilariously disastrous dinner party advice involving costume-clad bosses, finger foods without utensils, and second-hand party favors. Plauzzable.com https://youtube.com/live/iGpnBXE8FBQ Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody, it’s LeMent Tonight. My guest tonight is Leanne Linsky. Leanne, how are you doing tonight? Hey, I am great. Thanks so much for having me on. I love that chair. Possibly because I have one just like it. Really? I got this chair to look younger. Oh, really? Yeah, it’s a gamer chair. I’m trying to look younger. I have that exact same chair with the headrest. Actually, before we started recording here, I was sitting back. I leaned back. and was swiveling around and made a really weird noise, and I thought, uh-oh, I’m going to have to go find another chair. But I just bumped into some instructions for a printer that I had sitting out over here. So, but Leanne Linsky, the, what do you call yourself, CEO, Chieftain, Grand Poobah of Plausible? Yes, the one and only. That would be me. That would be, well, and you’re here tonight, and so, Why don’t you tell us, give us a little jokesters, a few jokes, these jokes here, and then we’ll talk some more. How’s that? Sure. Well, yeah, I mean, I will tell you. So, hey, everybody. People often ask, like, where am I from? All that. I’m originally from Waukegan, Illinois, and then I lived in Vegas for 16 years. And normally when I tell people that, they’re like, oh, my were you doing in Vegas? I’m like, oh my God, what do you mean? Besides all the drinking, gambling and prostituting myself. Okay. So I didn’t drink that much. And then I lived in New York for almost nine years. And when people hear that, they’re like, oh my God, Leanne, what’d you do in New York? So I just ignore them and keep walking. Then I moved to Long Beach, California and no one gave a crap. So Here I am now in Seattle. Yes, crickets. Exactly. I’m in Seattle, Washington now. Living life online. Yep. Because we moved here right at the end of the pandemic and things still weren’t opened up. So I don’t leave my house. And now when I do, I have to say it’s fun, but it’s also awkward because I keep forgetting to unmute myself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I don’t want to dazzle you with the rest of my brilliance quite this early in the show. That wasn’t a joke. That was just truth, everybody. Just truth. All right, Leanne, thank you very much. I was using the patented plausible reactions here. I appreciate that. I was also enjoying the swivel. Oh, yeah. I was trying out the swiveled a little bit. Yeah. It’s good. It works. Yeah. So what’s been happening in your world? Apparently you don’t leave the house. So I’m hoping that it’s not all just DoorDash and streaming services, but maybe it is. No, we do go to the grocery store regularly. We do. We do doctor’s appointments, grocery store. I don’t want to tell you the highlight of my week, but it’s going to the grocery store. It is. It is navigating the parking lot at Trader Joe’s. I also do volunteer service. So I volunteer for a couple of organizations locally. Oh, really? Like, what do you do for that? What are you doing? Like cleaning people’s beards or what are you doing? Beards? No, I gave that up a while back. I actually volunteer at two thrift stores. One supports American Cancer Society and the other one supports a senior center. So. Yeah, and I volunteer once a week at each of those places and put new merchandise out and do the window displays and things like that. It’s a blast. I love it. I had a terrible thought when you said that. I can’t help but mention it. Maybe one of the services, like help people with dementia, basically just take stuff out of their closet and have them come in and pick it up at the store and then we take it back out of the closet. which is hilarious because that’s just what I do. It’s horrible. It’s a horrible thought. You’re basically just getting them out of their, you know, apartment or whatever. Yeah. It’s like a cyclical thing. Oh, it is. You’re so nice. I mean, you do, well, I would never do volunteer work. I’m not a volunteer. Well, yeah, maybe no. So when I lived in New York, I got into doing a lot of volunteer service because in New York, um, I volunteered at Kravis Children’s Hospital at Mount Sinai. And they had a TV studio in the hospital, in the children’s hospital. And it was run by a nonprofit. And I would go in there and host TV shows for all the children in the children’s hospital. And they could watch up in their rooms. And we’d run game shows. And the kids could call in from their room phones. And then we’d do trivia games and all kinds of things where they could participate. by calling in and then after the shows were over, I’d go to the prize closet and I’d pick out prizes and go walk up there and say hello to everybody who participated during the half hour show. So that was really cool. And I also volunteered for an improv, a nonprofit that offered improv workshops and shows to other nonprofit organizations in New York area. So like Big Brothers Big Sisters, Or hospice, Ronald McDonald home, Ronald McDonald house, different hospitals, senior centers, you name it. If they needed people to come in and cheer people up and brighten things up, we would go in and do a workshop or show on a regular basis. Yeah, it was amazing. It was amazing. Yeah. That’s interesting. So how many other TV shows were there on this thing? Oh, so those two are separate. So the one- Oh, those two are separate. Yeah, so the one we did improv classes and shows for, and that was all in person where we would go and do these things at the hospital or at the hospice or at Ronald McDonald House or different venues where they would need us. And then the Kravis Children’s Hospital, that was separate. I actually met them because the improv group, we would do a TV show like once a month there, I think it was. And maybe weekly. I can’t remember now. And then I got to know the producer and I was like, I’d like to do more of this if possible. And so I would go in a couple of times a week, sometimes three times a week and do, do shows, but they would do shows every day. Oh, really? Several times throughout the day for the kids. Yeah. Yeah. It was really cool. It was also very sad because not all kids were there short term. Some were there very long term and were, were, chronically ill or terminally ill, but it was, it was one of the really, it was a wonderful service that they offered so that kids didn’t feel so isolated and alone. How’d you get to be so nice doing all this? I mean, most, most comics are cynical and, you know, hate the world. And I know, well, you’re right. This is true. Right. And, I would say that I am that person a lot of time. Like I can be that person if I want to, but since what I really started realizing is like in comedy, especially when we’re starting out and, and I, we probably do more of it when we’re starting out, but I think that no matter where we are in our comedy journey, we’re always, we’re always doing something for free or for a cause or for, ourselves like working out jokes we go to open mics we’re not paid to do that that’s just part of the process and yet there might be audiences at these open mics or you know you might get a spot in a show that just so you can go warm up to do another show those kind of things and you’re not paid for it people do it all the time celebrities do it right so but i think with comedy they were just bored right maybe uh maybe uh but i think there’s there’s an element of It’s a gift because I get to do what I love, but I get to share it with other people who enjoy it or maybe not. But it depends on the set, you know, or the night. But but yeah, I think it’s enjoyable or torture. Yeah, I think it’s good comedy karma. But I don’t you know, just why not? Why not share it with people who can’t get to a good. That’s a good thought. I mean, that’s very positive thinking there. Yeah. And I mean, that’s part of what I do with plausible, right? Is give back to the community. I mean, why not? I want other people to succeed. How can we bring more people in and give people a place and a stage? And that’s a lot with plausible is if I’m having this problem, maybe other people are having this problem too. How can we bridge that gap? How can we help others as we help ourselves? Wow. Listen to all this. Right? Who knew? I’m thinking you should open up the phones for donations. Yes, please do. Operators are standing by. Right. And even Jerry Lewis is going to pop up. That’s right. Let’s go look at the top board. Good to Brian in his sound-canceling headphones. Yeah, that’s right. Is he watching kickboxing? No. He’s watching the phones ring
