    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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

We’ve been there so many times. It’s like, I know where to drop her off. She’ll hobble in and then I’ll go park and then I’ll meet up with her. You don’t even go get her the wheelchair or anything.

    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. Let’s take a quick break and then we’re gonna come back and I’m gonna read a little story and then we’re gonna talk about it. Here we go. Mondofrico. Mondofrico. Mondofrico. Mondofrico, that’s what you’re listening to and watching right now. So here’s a quick story about the Jersey Devil, just to give you some background in case you didn’t know. The Jersey Devil is a legendary cryptid said to inhabit the remote pine barrens of southern New Jersey. The most popular version of its origin story dates back to 1735 and revolves around a woman known

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.

    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

I think I looked it up. 2011. It’s already been 25. That was the 25th year. Wow. was only the 15th. Oh, gosh. Only the 15th year. What’s happened to my life? Oh, my God. Yeah, that’s right. What are you doing with yourself? Yeah, well, I know that, but I mean, what am I? Okay. So tonight we agreed to talk about your, you’re going to tell us all about your sexual fantasies. I think that was what we agreed upon. It’s all part of my No, that’s not what we’re going to talk about. We’re telling stories I had a really nice, I know you don’t do this and I don’t mention it every time, but I had a really nice conversation with Alo. This woman in Nigeria has a show and I was on there talking and I talked about you. Yes. And I talked about whatever questions she asked me, but very nice. Very nice. Yeah. I don’t think I’ve ever talked to anyone from Nigeria. So you have one. Yeah. Huh? I don’t think so. I actually met it. That was online, but I’ve met in person several, I think Nigerians. Yeah. Uh, I met a gentleman from Sudan. Very nice gentleman. And his friends who hustled me in pool, which is not anything bad. I’m just saying hustler. You say, I just, it’s not anything bad. I’m just saying, yes, they caught me. Yes. They caught me. Yes. No. And I got a, a guy, a friend at work who is, uh, I can’t remember where he’s from now. Dang. I’ll have to ask him again, but anyway, he’s like some, you know, distant royalty. Africa. Oh, no kidding. Yeah. I actually, we work at the same place. He made me put $10,000 in his bank account. He tried to reclaim the throne. Look, this money’s got my picture on it. That’s how royal I am. No, no, he’s a good guy. He’s a good guy. He was telling me about it. Yeah, I got a title. Uh, when i go home, I have a title and he’s like, I never, i’d never go home. So. Yeah. Yeah. I’m like, well, that must be a letdown coming over here. Yeah. All right. He’s like, no, not really. It’s better here. my name’s Herb. How are you doing yeah but uh no i just that was something that was interesting that happened recently. Yeah. But I wanted to tell you about, I’ve found a new sport So, you know, there’s these at some point, you know, points in time they would call them like yuppie activities or, you know, what do you call it? Like soccer moms activities and things like that. I found a new one. I think it’s called drinking, isn’t it? Yeah. Yeah. The wine thing. Yeah. No, I don’t know. Right. Right. I found a new one, and you’re not going to believe it. Bring it. Maybe you will. Bring it on. What do you got? Now, I have been roped into this kind of new trend. Okay. And it’s like a cyclical thing, and around here is rampant. And I’m onto it, and I don’t like it. It’s like pickleball, or what is this? Well, actually… pickleball is huge around here, but that’s not it. Although I may play pickleball this summer. Who knows? I’d love to see that. I would love to see that. I win all my matches by default. So no, it’s, it’s, The purchasing of things on Amazon and returning them. So the deal is you go on Amazon, you purchase something. Right. It ships. It gets to your house. Right. You take a look at it. You’re like, oh, that’s not what I want. I’m returning it. Yeah. And you take it to the UPS store and return it for free. And you order something else and it comes and then you take it back. Literally, I swear to God. I have to go to UPS store at least twice a week. Oh, Jesus Christ. But the thing is, it’s normal. It’s not out of the norm. There are so many people doing the same thing. They purchase something on Amazon. They go to your house. They’re like, that’s not what I want. Holy cow. So the whole thing’s jammed up now? The whole lobby’s all… Yes. Oh, my gosh. So I had to get… I was telling you off the recording here about how everybody’s an a*****e or whatever. So I go to the UPS store. So a lot of times I don’t have to go in, thank God. My wife will run it in because I didn’t buy it. But anyway, I’m not going to get that argument here. But, um, and so then she’ll, I’ll park and then she’ll go in and then, you know, we’ll go on and do other errands or what have you go to the store. This guy, his, uh, his old bat of a wife, what took something back and apparently needed to pay for it. And she didn’t have any money. So she came outside to get money from him and he pulls up behind me and she goes back in. Right. And I mean, you, There’s so many people going in and out of this place. It’s like they’re giving away something for free. Wait, let me go. It’s not the post office. It’s the UPS store. No, it’s the UPS store. Okay, I’m sorry. It’s the UPS store. Okay, cool. Yeah, post office is bad enough. Yeah, right. Yeah, don’t f**k that up. To be honest with you, the UPS store is worse. Yeah, right. With traffic, I mean. And so then the guy just sits behind me. And I’m like, oh, my God. This guy better move, right? So the issue is not so much that he’s sitting behind me. It’s that when my wife comes out and gets in the car and we can’t back up. Oh, he’s got you pinned in. Yeah, totally pinned in. Oh, great. And so when the wife shows up, then it’s going to be. Tell the pay, right? Your wife ain’t going to be having it, man. I know your wife. She’s not having none of that. She’s about it, man. I’m like, oh, and then I’m going to have to do something. Right. Because, yeah, that’s how it works. Oh, man. Yeah. Those old guys got me pinned in. He’s sitting there, sitting there, sitting there. His old wife goes in with like a wad of cash to pay for something. I don’t know what that was just being for. Right. And my wife comes out, and I’m like, please move. Please move. No. Doesn’t move. Oh, shit. I had to get out. Excuse me, sir. Could you please move your Monte Carlo? No, no. This is where the, you know, I told you I’m getting cranky or whatever. He can’t see. He’s looking for his wife. Right. His ass end is blocking me, so I cannot go anywhere. Right. He’s got like a suv or some big long SUV. Yeah. And so he can’t see me in the driver’s seat because he’s on the far side, right? Right. It’s totally boogered up. He’s like in the wrong lane, on the wrong side, doing everything wrong. Oh, geez. So I had to step out and then i give him the old, you know, hard point. I’m like, yeah you know, like move it or I’m breaking your window. You know what I mean? Right. And, uh, he, he skedaddled right out of there, but yeah. And the worst thing was I was, uh, yeah, we had been to the, uh, to the gym. And so we were coming from, the gym to drop this thing off, so i was all, like, disheveled. Wearing your shorts and your wet shirt you’re all draggled and i’m like and man that guy took off. He’s like, man, that broad is really angry, man. I better get going here. I was like i was really yeah i could i was like i hate that. I hate to do that. You’re a tough guy, man. I didn’t know that. Well, then I have to, you know, I’m like all, I’m like Sylvester Stallone telling the guy to get the hell out of there. And then I get in the car and I’m Woody Allen. Oh my gosh. I can’t believe he was blacking us in. Oh, you know, and I have to go on and on about it for like 10 minutes. Your

    Danny Johnson Comedian

    Danny Johnson Danny Johnson is a seasoned clean stand-up comedian with over 15 years of experience, known for his relatable material and performances at corporate events, clubs, and churches. His career took off with his successful Dry Bar Comedy special, The Chusky Life, and has continued to grow with his latest self-produced special on YouTube titled Everything Bothers Me. Originally from Long Island, New York, Danny developed his comedic voice within a large, loud family where humor was the key to getting attention. After a “decade of excellence” in college and a brief stint in corporate life, he fully committed to stand-up, eventually moving to Florida and working his way up through the comedy club circuit. DannyJohnson.com https://youtube.com/live/Ogsqjac2918 Bad AI Transcript Hello, everybody, and welcome to a conversation with Danny Johnson. Go figure. Now, Danny, the Danny part sounds funny. The Johnson part, not so funny. Danny is a comedian, stand-up comedian. He is a clean stand-up. He likes to put that all over his webpage, just so you know. If he didn’t have it on his webpage, there’d just be the F word, and everybody would know that he was a clean comedian, right? He does corporate events. clubs, churches, over 15 years. He had a dry bar comedy special called The Chesky Life, which I love that title. And you have a new thing coming out called, and I’m already blanking on it here. You can tell me, Danny. Everything bothers me. There you go. I knew I was going to get you to say it, and I would say it as well. Danny Johnson. You can go to his website. We’ll just get this stuff out of the way. DannyJohnson.com. at Danny Johnson comedy. And we’ll visit those throughout the talk here, but I like to put everything up front so people don’t have to wait. Cause you know, they may get bored with this conversation. I really just want to know more about Danny. I don’t really care to listen to this other guy. So we’ll make sure everybody’s happy. Right. Look at that. I like that plugs up front. So yeah, everybody. Yeah, exactly. We’ll do that. I don’t want to, you know, you make, everybody makes people wait, right? Like it’s, Like they’re doing them a favor when they’re really not. Yeah. It’s the worst to watch a video where… And then sometimes they don’t get to the point ever and there’s another part. Right. In part two, we’ll finally tell you where to find these people. No, not for me. I’m done with you, buddy. Blocked. That’s right. No more part twos. Right. So everything bothers me. I mean, this could be everybody’s comedy special. Couldn’t it be? Yeah. I think… And it’s funny. The title of it was… created after we shot the special in Atlanta earlier this year. And it was really just a culmination of, I do actually mention that phrase in my special, but in just going through the material and the final cut, it was like, this was just a sort of a list of things that bother me that I was talking about. There you go. This is, your book’s coming out called How to Write the Easiest Comedy Set. just things that bother you. Yeah. And so one of the producers was like, he goes, it seems like everything bothers you. And I go, that’s a perfect name for. So let’s, that’s, that’s what’s happening now. Let’s go back 15 years and say, you know, young Danny, younger Danny, in your case, probably what teenage Danny is, is, going to be a stand-up comedian. I mean, how did that all come about? As far back as I can remember, I’ve always been interested in comedy. I grew up in a really large family in Long Island, New York. And we’re all loud. We’re all poking fun at each other constantly. And if you want any attention whatsoever at any giant family function, then you better have some sort of talent or be funny. And I remember… I remember starting to do like imitations or impersonations of my relatives at family functions. And it was getting a laugh. And I realized how powerful that was. Even at a young age, I’m like, wow, I’m getting positive attention. Just making fun of my uncle or cousin or whoever, you know, just kind of impersonating them. And then I’ve stumbled in my teenage years across Saturday Night Live, which of course is not stand-up, but just fell in love with those characters. And that led, staying up late, on the weekend led me to staying up late during the week and watching, uh, the late night TV shows and, and, uh, catching standup, you know, uh, Robert Klein and Jerry Seinfeld and Carlin. And, um, they were just talking for five or six minutes into a microphone and getting laughs. And I was like, this is really appealing. Um, and it’s baffling, you know, I didn’t understand or necessarily crack up at a lot of the jokes, but, you know, I was younger, but, As I grew older, it led to my first stage performance at 18 at a small club in Long Island. And I only did well because we brought 63 of the 73 audience members to the show. So crowdsourcing was your friend basically at 18. You’re like, hey, everybody. Yeah. If you want a false sense of hope, just stack the crowd with friends and family. That was Danny Johnson reads his Rolodex. I think that was your act back then. You’re just, if you come, I will read your name on stage. Right. And then I finished up college in Long Island, my first two years of college. And I didn’t do standups. And from the time I was 18, I didn’t do standup until I finished my senior year of college. And by that time I’d moved to Florida and finished my college in Florida. And where I ended up residing in Florida wasn’t, right down the road from one of the biggest comedy clubs or the biggest comedy club in Northeast Florida. And they had a workshop of like how to be an MC or a host of a show. And it was free. And the club was open Tuesday through Saturday. I joined that workshop, started, I guess, learning from some of the current hosts that were there and eventually became a regular. And two years later, I was, you know, working Tuesday through Saturday, a couple of times a month, sometimes at this club hosting shows. And then, you know, long, longer, long story, longer, um, other comedians that I worked for started to bring me on the road and open for them and bump me up to the middle act. And then, you know, once you get enough material, you can kind of pitch yourself to bookers as a feature actor, a headliner. So, uh, it was the, it was a really long journey to get to have, you know, start headlining venues and whatnot. but I’m glad, and this is, you know, I started pre-internet or pre-social media, I should say, maybe not pre-internet, but pre-social media popular, you know, being popular. So my website was huge. You know, that was a big deal to have a website. Like, wow, you have a URL? Which is why I have Danny Johnson. Yeah. There you go. Here it is. This is it today. Which is why I have the .com, DannyJohnson.com. It’s of rare to have a dot com and uh i’ve had people want to buy it, which is interesting. Really? How much you can offer for that? I’ve gotten upwards of upwards of four grand. Wow. But it’s been, it’s been a good decade since someone’s tried to buy it. There’s two, there’s a semi-famous musician out of England. Um, and then there’s, there’s a few public speakers all with my name. So, um, like, uh, they’re not comedians, but they are, well-known speakers. Well, I mean, with a name like Johnson. There’s got to be several Dannys out there. It’s funny you say that. I remember I had the hardest time getting with this one particular booker. And finally, I got a hold of them on the phone. And this is after years of emailing or just trying to get in with them. And I go, what? Did I do something? And they go, yeah, I booked you and you didn’t show. And I said, I haven’t worked for you ever. And they go, you’re Danny Johnson out of whatever city they mentioned. I go, no, I’m in Northeast Florida. They’re like, oh my gosh, there’s another one of you. I was like, well, that’s not me. Why didn’t you at least meet with me and find out? So I ended up working for the Booker, but yeah, there was, there was like almost like a bizarro Danny Johnson. Now you just need to do the opposite and get more gigs based on this other Danny Johnson. Yeah, he needs to step up his career. Just answer. I had an email address where this person thought it was their email address, and they kept signing me up for everything. It was very aggravating. I mean, you could do the same thing for the other Danny Johnson. I do that too. I sign up people’s email addresses for stuff. If they wrong me in life, they get on everything. That’s your next special. Don’t tell me your email. You’ll get a bunch of crap. So you did this when you were younger. You went to college, which I’m assuming your mother said, finish your degree, please. Don’t just run off and do comedy. What was your degree in? Business management. I went to two years at State University of New York at Farmingdale. And then I finished my bachelor’s at University of South Florida in Tampa. And it took me so long. I jokingly refer to my college experience as the decade of excellence. That’s very good. Yeah. So it did take you a whole decade or no? No, not… It probably took me… So two years for the Associates in New York and then probably… three years and a semester for my to finish. Okay. I remember my count because I was away from my parents for the first time. They were still in New York and I was in Florida having a time of my life at this giant college. And I remember finally at one point in my second senior year, the guidance counselor that I meet with each semester was like, look, you got to finish up. you’re 47 years old. I don’t know how old it was but i was it was like van Wilder. I don’t know if you ever seen it. Yeah. Yeah. So I finished up just, she’
