Yeah, you. You're a freaking jerk. You are a freaking jerk. Thanks a lot For ruining my life, for ruining my marriage. Thank you. I don't think you can blame me for ruining your marriage. Yes, yes. I want to thank you personally. I don't take any part in your marriage. For almost driving me to divorce court. Thank you, Bob Lament. Thank you. I mean, I'm still holding secrets, so it can't be me. So, you know, before we record, we… talk for a little while. Yeah. And, uh, you often sing a lot, which okay encourages me to sing a lot. Okay. Which I do enjoy singing, but I, like you, I can't really carry you this is a lot. This is a lifelong thing. You and i used to, we were in college together. Yes. And we used to walk around singing. We would sing, I mean, not show tunes or anything, but we'd sing whatever song was happening. Holding hands. Yeah, holding hands. Whistling. Yeah. Hey, let's just do Annie. Yeah. The sun will come out tomorrow. Yesterday was playing awful. You used to sing constantly walking around campus. Yeah, well, you got me in a singing mood, you know. So I occasionally, on my own, sing. I'll just pick some random song and sing, right? Yeah, you get stuck in your head. So what possibly could derail my life, right? Right. So I'm outside with my dogs, and I'm coming in, and I just randomly pick a song, and I start singing Rolling Stones' I Used to Love Her, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I used to love her. Yeah. But it's all over now. So I come in. I'm saying my wife is making some kind of nonsensical dessert. She's like… Does she experiment with desserts all the time? Yeah. She's like the mom from Better Off Dead. And I get flashed a look. It's called swan. Free leach's cake. And she shoots me, like, the dirtiest look. Like, what? She goes, what the fuck is that song? I'm like, what? I wasn't singing about you. I wasn't. Why would I sing about you? It popped in my head. Why would I? Wait a minute. Stop right there. This is why you're having marriage trouble. Why would I ever sing about you, honey? Why? You don't inspire me in the least. I sing the same song to my wife every time I see her. My whole life is like living in an old folks home. I'm just here. When I see my wife, I sing the same song all the time. What's that? No, it's not that Earl. Shut up with that stupid. Rawhide? No. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. This is a total recovery song here. This is totally trying to recover. Unfortunately, I saw your face. Why do birds suddenly appear? I got a brand new pair of roller skates. You got a brand new key. Okay. I'm going off to the country. I made the huge mistake of singing a Rolling Stones song. Then why can't I paint you? And, um, I get shot. You were singing, uh, What? Queen? Bat Bottom Girls? What were you singing again? It probably would have went over better. It probably would have. Next thing I know. What the hell are you singing? And why are you singing it? I go, it's the Rolling Stones. It was a hit back in a long time ago. Before I was born? Yeah, well, probably. I'm like, It's just a song I randomly picked out of my head. I mean, now she's all mad. Well, I just don't understand why a grown man would pick a horrible song like that to say it's horrible. All right. So I'm like, okay, what about this one? She's so cold. Oh, she's so cold. Like an ice cream cone. Don't ever get into the Nielsen catalog. Everybody's talking. She was not happy with She's So Cold either. That's supposed to be better? Undercover of the night. Undercover. I shouldn't have broke into that or just waiting on a friend or something. I made the mistake of going too far back. I see a picture. Yeah. I don't know. I didn't know this song was so off-limits in my wife's world of insanity. I'm like, what the fuck? Now, I'm going to have to come up with a list and have it okayed with approved songs, apparently. Alexa, please run my list through my wife's approved list of songs for me to sing? Oh, Christ. It's all me. Taylor Swift. I know it. Christ. So what happened next? So then I broke into shake it off. Shake it off. Shake it off. Shake it. I quit singing. First of all, I stopped singing. I haven't sang since. Oh, and I was trying to blame you for the whole thing. Like, you know, He's got to let it out. He's constantly singing like some kind of mental patient. And he's got me doing it, and I randomly just picked a song, not directed at anyone in particular. Let's rewind a little bit. Like the day before, you know I always sing my feelings, don't you, honey? Yeah. I mean, I could understand maybe… If it was like, you know, I'm turning Japanese, I could get that. I thought maybe when you walk outside, start singing Kung Fu Fighting or something. I used to love her, but I have to keep her. When the dogs can find her, I got time. Well, at least you won. delving into nine inch nails. Yeah, that's true i hurt myself today. Another one, but anyway, the, uh, so thanks a lot, Bob, for ruining my life i i don't think I, this is. Yeah. Yeah. He can't even talk. He's all like… It's been more than 30 years.

  Altamaha-ha with Not Enough Questions

  Aug 17, 202639 minS2

  Altamaha-ha On this episode of Mondo Freako, the host welcomes guest Julian (host of the Not Enough Questions podcast) for an episode exploring Georgia’s celebrated river cryptid, the Altamahaha—affectionately known as "Alti." After kicking things off with a debate on the horrors of Atlanta traffic and a 5-question trivia quiz, the discussion shifts to the lore surrounding the 20- to 30-foot serpentine creature said to haunt the brackish marshes near Darien in McIntosh County. Deeply rooted in indigenous Muscogee Creek and Yamasee oral histories, Alti is often described as a river-dwelling, plesiosaur-like beast with a snout resembling an alligator or gar, contrasting with skeptical theories pointing to misidentified Atlantic sturgeon or manatees. The pair examine the broader global phenomenon of freshwater "Nessie" sightings before diving into a map breakdown of the remote Georgia coast. While Julian questions how such a massive creature could evade modern surveillance, the host argues that the sparse, winding waterways and potential ocean migration routes offer plenty of hiding space. Weighing ancient folklore against modern skepticism, the episode closes with final verdicts on a 1-to-10 scale: Julian lands at a skeptical 3/10, while the host rates Alti at a 6/10, giving weight to centuries of indigenous testimony and the vastness of the coastal swamps. Not Enough Questions https://youtube.com/live/rcGEpwZTsbE UFO Witness Game (Click Graphic to Start) Transcript (AI transcription) Julian, how's traffic in Atlanta? It's going well. It's going well. Mondo Frico. Hey, everybody. Welcome to Mondo Frico. I am here with Julian. Julian, how are you doing tonight? I heard you had some traffic problems today, no? Yes, yes. Atlanta is known for its traffic. Everybody talks about Los Angeles and New York when it comes to traffic, but I can tell you I've never been in any worse traffic than in Atlanta. You were right. You will not find anything worse than Atlanta. I would say a second close, oddly, was Nashville. Really? I've never been to Nashville. Oh, literally on the highway, come to a complete stop. You can't even see Nashville. It looks like you're in the middle of nowhere. Everything stops. And then you just creep along until you finally see the skyline for Nashville. It's just kind of like Atlanta because Atlanta is that way too on the highway. Sometimes you'll just stop in the middle of nowhere close to Atlanta and really not even see the city. Where in Los Angeles and New York and everything, at least you see a city. That's very true. That is very true. And I haven't heard Nashville is a… Tennessee, Atlanta. Yeah, exactly. It is Atlanta and Tennessee. You're correct. I think you're right. But, yeah, it's the worst traffic, yeah. And I've been in all of the places I mentioned. I've sat in traffic in all of them. And, I mean, even New York City traffic wasn't as bad as Atlanta traffic or Los Angeles traffic. Mm-hmm. It's amazing. Don't they also have more lanes as well? They do. They do. But, I mean, there's a lot of lanes in Atlanta. I can't remember. Los Angeles has like seven lanes. I don't know. It's just crazy. But, you know, still, it doesn't matter if you have 100 lanes. If they're all stopped, nobody cares. They're like, this is terrible. Terrible if everyone has an accident and you can't make a left turn. Yeah. Exactly. It's pretty bad. Well, welcome to Mondo Freako, Julian. And we have a topic tonight. So on the show, just a real base to catch everybody up in case they've never seen it before. We talk about cryptids, UFOs, the supernatural, the paranormal, typically in a bit of a humorous way. But also we talk about, you know, what's happening with these things. And at the end of it, you and I will have a quick discussion on what we think about it. Is it real? Is it fake? Is it legend? We'll find out. Now, I always give everybody a choice at the beginning of this show. Well, first of all, tell us a little bit about Not Enough Questions and EQ Pods. I always like to get these things at the front because then if people don't listen to the whole thing, at least they get to hear what you've got going on. All right. Not Enough Questions is a podcast that I run. And I say it's, what do I say? It's a podcast where you can find, not every episode is for everyone, but you find a piece of humanity in every episode. We talk about… Well, it's a serial killer podcast. Is that what you're saying? No, no, no. Oh, okay. Sorry. It's more so a perspective-based critical thought question. Oh, okay. Thank you. Yeah, I should have said that. Yeah. Maybe I'll get a merger on there. You know it. A piece of humanity in every fight. Yes. Questions range from what is your dream job? Can you have two feelings at once? What crime would you commit knowing you're going to get caught? And some more funny ones, some more serious ones. It's a great time. It's an hour. Yeah, it's an hour podcast. Oh, there you go. See, look at that. I've actually been on the show with Julian at least twice. Twice, twice. Yeah, I was just saying, I think it's twice. And it's a lot of fun. And I can't, I'm sorry, I don't remember my question, but I think there was not enough of those questions. I can guarantee you there's more to come, right? I think the questions I said actually were the ones that you were on. What was your dream job? Oh, right. Okay. And then came how to feelings at once. And I said, professional Tanner sitting in the sunshine. That was my dream job. Something like that. No, I don't think I said that at all, but everybody should check it out at any Q pod on the socials, or you can follow this link tree, not, It seems longer than it really is. Not enough questions podcast. So when you say it, it's like, wow, that really rolls off the tongue. When you look at it, you're like, gosh, there's a lot of letters there. But it's all good. All good. So at the beginning of the show, I always ask the guests, we always have a quiz. And I'm going to give you the option of either doing the quiz before you even know the topic or… We'll talk a little bit about the topic. I'll tell you about the topic, and then you can take the quiz. I'd rather take the quiz now. Oh, he's going to take the quiz. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz right off the bat. All right, let me get the quiz up here for you. Tell me if you can see it. You might not be able to read all of it. I'll try to make it bigger for you here. Okay. Let's see if I can. Oh, my goodness. I hit the wrong button. Hold on a second. Let's start that over. Don't give that answer. Here. Is that a little bit better? It's better. I'll read them off. Don't worry. I'll read them all off to you so you don't have to memorize them. And you already heard the wrong answer. If you get the wrong answer, what you hear is a buzzer. I love the hint. You can take a hint. Okay. The legendary creature Ultimahaha, affectionately nicknamed Ulti, is a cryptid reported to inhabit which state in the American South? Is it Georgia, Ohio, Idaho, or Alaska? And if you notice there, it says easy. Yeah, because I'm like, I'm knowing these questions like this. No, no, no, no, no, no. I think Georgia. Georgia should be The only southern American state in here. Yeah, I don't think Alaska is in the southern part. There you go. Correct. Altamaha is Georgia's most famous river monster legend. Primarily with the Altamaha River and coastal marshes around Darien and McIntosh County. Now you kind of know what we're talking about tonight, right? So… According to eyewitness folklore, this is question number two so far. You got one correct. According to eyewitness folklore, which physical description fits how Ultima Ha-Ha is typically described? Is it A, 20 to 30 feet serpentine river creature with flippers, ridged skin, and an alligator or dolphin-like snout? B, a giant eight-legged turtle wearing sunglasses? No. C, a winged lizard that nests in high pine trees and only feeds on acorns. Or D, a miniature freshwater shark covered in bright neon feathers. I have a hint if you want it. These all sound very interesting. And I'm trying to think which one would I more likely see. I want to say a winged lizard. You want to go with C, a winged lizard? A winged lizard. Okay. And I have a hint. You sure you don't want the hint? I don't want to take the hint right now. All right. Oh, sorry. Witnesses usually report a 20 to 30 foot aquatic creature that undulates vertically through the water, sporting paddle-like flippers and a long snout. All right. You got one right and you got one incorrect. It's fine. You're doing fine. You're doing fine. That's why I wanted to take the quiz now. Okay. Now, this one's a hard question. It says, long before European settlers documented sightings, legends of a giant snake-like river creature in this region originated with which Native American group? Was it A, the Muscogee or Creek, and the Yamase peoples, B, the Inuit of Northern Canada, C, the Hawaiian monarchy, or D, the Aztec Empire? I have a hint. I'm going with my gut and saying A. All right. The Muscogee Creek and Yamasee oral histories describe a large water serpent or river beast inhabiting the waterways of coastal Georgia centuries before any modern sightings. Hey, you're doing good there. You got two correct. We got a couple more to go. We got five questions altogether. Which historic coastal Georgia town serves as the cultural hub of Altamahaha, lore, even featuring a dedicated statue and adopting the monster as its local mascot. Is it A, Darien, B, Paris, C, Honolulu, or D, Reykjavik? I have a hint. I would take a hint. Yeah, please give me the hint. This small port city sits right at the mouth of

  LeMent Tonight for August 13, 2026

  Aug 14, 202645 minS2

  This Week In this episode of LeMent Tonight, host Bob interviews Southern California stand-up comedian John Liu, exploring his background as a first-generation Filipino-Chinese American and his journey in comedy. The conversation touches on John's day job as an auditor—which he deliberately keeps separate from his stand-up routines—as well as his experiences performing across the United States and internationally in Taiwan and the Philippines. After playing a lighthearted improv game where John offers intentionally terrible advice for dating and dinner parties, the discussion shifts to his love for cooking traditional Filipino dishes like adobo and kare-kare, followed by reflections on vegetarianism, religion, and the practical challenges of owning and operating an independent comedy club. https://JohnLiuComedy.com https://youtube.com/live/lSicf2OlkSo Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody, it's Lament Tonight. guest tonight is john Blue. Or is it live? Now, how would you pronounce this, John? I pronounce it it makes it easier for my neighbors. Yes, sir. Oh, okay. You're totally ignoring the eye pretty much. I'm trying to be less central me i'm not trying to be less egocentric. Let's talk about you So John Liu is a first-generation Asian American. You give your heritage as Filipino and Chinese on your bio. You're based in Southern California. You have a sharper tongue, as we just heard. And your comedy centers around growing up in a multicultural background, being a first-generation immigrant, current events, and dealing with the ever-changing American zeitgeist. You can catch him… at JohnLiuComedyLiu.com. John Liu, how are you doing tonight? Cheers. I'm doing great. I'm chilling in a city called Anaheim, which is, as if you may know, may or may not know, is the hometown of Disneyland. Lovely, beautiful day in Southern California. The heat is finally letting up. The humidity is letting up. And there's some wild parrots hanging around outside. It is a good day. Were you at Disneyland today? No, no, no, no. A friend of mine is running a comedy show. So before I showed up, before I logged in, I dropped in to say hello. Support local comics, support my friends, all that good stuff. Well, that was awful nice. I do what I can. Were you just there for support or did you do something else? No, it's a theme night, actually. I have a friend. His name is Eric Escobar, Hilarious Comics. plug for him uh he run he's doing a special comedy night uh at a local brewery called cast comedy night these are all current or former disney performers so i went down to catch you know catch his comedy and you know see see some comics and now i'm here with you and this is a wonderful setup thanks again for having me bob you're so gracious my goodness are you your mother must be very proud of you. I hope so You're so polite. So now you just said for current or former Disney performers. Now, what do you mean by that? Well, OK, so when you go to Disneyland, they have people working, you know, staff members. They also have crew members. These are the forward facing people like the tour guides on the Jungle Cruise or, you know, people manning, you know, dressed up as characters, things like that. Oh, okay. Cast members, as they like to say, so they don't have to pay them. It's true. But funny enough, I do believe they're part of the actors' union, too. They're actually considered acting. It's an acting job, I think. Oh, really? Okay. It's fascinating. That's a good move on their part, is to pull that in, right? So the whole cast member thing was kind of a dodge, I think, originally. And so now they're going, yeah, well, wait. If we're cast members, we're acting. Have you ever worked at Disney or no? No. Oh, my gosh, no. I have no patience for that kind of thing. I wear my heart on my sleeve and my contempt on my face, so it's kind of like I can't do that. It's very difficult for me to be in a customer-facing position. You're so polite. You've been so polite to me tonight. And here you're saying, oh, no, I can't do that. It's a lot of work, Bob. So you've got like five minutes of pleasantries and then after that it's all venom or what? Well, I don't know what to say. I really don't. I'm not much of a conversationalist. That's why I'm in stand-up and not improv. Oh, my goodness. It's working right now, John. Well, cheers. Thank you. Now, since you're a Filipino-Chinese, is John your first name or is this an Americanized name for you? Well, here's the thing you got to know really quickly about the Philippines. We are an English-speaking country. English is one of the languages that we speak, so we do have a lot of crossover. John is actually my given birth name. So, yeah. I do have a Chinese name, but I don't use it too much, mainly because I can barely speak Chinese. It's like at a four-year-old level, if I'm lucky. It's terrible. What level of Chinese do you speak, John? Oh, four-year-old. I don't know. I really don't know. My wife describes it as, my wife says I understand half of the conversation. Unfortunately, I understand the useless half. I only know the words and, the, and. Right. I can count to a decent extent. I know important phrases, some words, because I did go to school where they taught Chinese, but Part of the difficulty is that I didn't get a lot of practice. I moved to the States when I was a teen, and where I moved to, there weren't a lot of Chinese speakers, so it kind of fell by the wayside, and I wasn't that good to begin with. So where did you grow up in your teens? Can you tell me an area? Southern California, through and through. Okay, so dude, whoa, hey. Pretty much, pretty much. There's no Chinese words for that. No, if there are, I don't know them. So would you in the Southern California culture, would you what would you describe yourself as? So like, you know, there's skater, surfer, you know, beach. I think the closest thing I don't know if they still have them. But, you know, when I was younger, I was definitely more in the nerd slash preppy kind of thing. Oh, OK. Yeah. And I was a kid. I had my fun, but I wasn't much into skating, wasn't much into sports. I was a bit of a nerd. I was into comic books, toys, that kind of thing. And I'm not – the why doesn't apply anymore, but I would certainly be – could have been classified as a yuppie back in the day. I think you and I are of the same generation that you know what a yuppie is. Oh, yeah. And for the younger folks, a yuppie – Young Urban Professional. Oh, I thought you were going to say it was a wet puppy. No, no, no, no, no. No, I know. Young Urban Professional. Exactly. You drove your Beamer. And your girlfriend was named Buffy. No, I don't have money. That's why I'm here. No offense. But otherwise, I would have bought myself a comedy club and called it a day. Oh, well, that's interesting. Why are you waiting? What is stopping you from realizing this dream? My bank account. Well, no. Banks will give anybody money. You could go get a loan. They want me to pay it back eventually. That's the part you've got to figure out. Respect anyone that runs a comedy venue. It's not easy. It isn't. Well, you just sell drugs in the back and you're all set. Everything works out. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, no, it's not for me. Plus, it's a lot of logistics that I don't really want to deal with. I want to be free. I want to be happy. You know what? You can have the John Liu comedy car. It's like Uber, except you get comedy on the way to your destination. Actually, a friend of mine had this idea recently. of taking, like, you know, one of those creepy, gigantic vans, you know, and just opening up the door and having, like, a pop-up comedy show, have the speakers and the mic in there, and just drive wherever, park somewhere, and set up a comedy show that way. Yeah. I mean, they did the cash cab on television for I don't know how long. You could do the comedy cab. Talk about a captive audience. Just lock the doors, have the choppers. That's right. And then if they want to get out, they got to pay you. Yeah. Oh, my God. We could be like those crazy people that preach on planes. Have you been seeing that on the news? No. We could do that. We could just put on a comedy show. They preach on a plane? Is that allowed? No. It's absolutely not. Explain this to me. Do they just, like, bother the person next to them, or do they stand up and tell the whole plane? No, they stand up and tell the whole plane. Oh, my word. one lady, she got put on the no-fly list forever because she was pretty much preaching the entire time. She would get up, preach to the plane, and just she just refused to sit down. You know, all that stuff. And there are a couple people doing that so i'll be honest with you. I would rather have it happen in a plane than anywhere else because, I mean, you never know. That's fair. You look like a 50 50 that you may need that at that moment. That's true. That's true. You know, but it, yeah, it's all about that captive audience, getting that group of people together. And I like to perform, I'll be honest. I like to perform, you know, I, it's the advertising, the marketing that doesn't appeal to me, you know? Oh no. Well, I think this, I think this, you know, comedy Uber thing is the way to go. Cause then, I mean, you like to go places, right? Absolutely. Travel is one of the perks. I've gotten to go to so many places and see so many things that I wouldn't have if I wasn't in comedy. It gives me that incentive to travel. Tell me some of the places you've gone. Have you gone to Macau? I have not. I've only recently started traveling for comedy. Let's see. I've performed in the Philippines. I've been to open mics in Taiwan. Wow. in terms of shows, proper shows, I've done show

We don't know. We know he's alive last week. We know it. We'll just have to wait another week to see if he's still alive. Wait a minute. There was no ad for Bugles this week in the weekly shopper? Okay. Okay. Are you still there, Miles? Did I lose you on this one? Hello? Yeah. Okay. There you are. You dropped out. I thought so. No, you froze up like you got your image just froze up. Like your eyes were like half open. Like, oh, dude, there's a cartoon cat. So this week was not the best week. It's not the best week. The weekly shopper did not have bugles on sale last week. So on Friday, I went to lunch with my good friends, Dr. J and Dr. K. Yes. And so they actually met me at my office because I'm having to go to my office here lately because of some rule changes that And so they came by the office and we decided to go get some lunch. Yeah. And unfortunately near the office, there's not a lot of good lunch places. So I'm like, let's go to this Mexican place, which I'm surprised you can still say that, to be honest with you, like Chinese place, Mexican place. It's all okay. Right. Yeah. I mean, I think that's all right. I mean, I, I'm like, we got to go down to this one, you know? And so it's, it's a, it's a, few minutes away. Taco Bell. Yeah. It's called the Taco Ballet. Exclusive. It's a local thing, but so we're driving and we drove by like three other Mexican places and they're like, well, why don't you go to this one? I'm like, I've never been there. I'm not going there. El Bandejos. Yeah. And so I forced them to go to this Mexican place that I've been to before. This is always good. They have a lunch special. So, you know, it's not overly expensive. Kutas are us. So we make it there. Everything's fantastic. You know, I get the lunch special. They get a lunch special. Everybody gets a lunch special. We have a great lunch. We're chitting and chatting and skitting and scatting and everything. And then… Bella Fitzgerald shows up. Do, do, do, do. And then Dr. K is like, well, I got to get back. I need to get going. I'm like, oh, man. So he drove us all. He took on the mantle of driver. Yeah. And we all pile into Dr. K's car. Yeah. And we're going to head back to my office. And then everybody will go about their business. Right. Yeah. So we're on our way back and, and talking and we, there's a, I don't know, like a traffic jam is on side streets. We're not on the highway or on the side street. Some kind of like traffic jam. Everything comes to a stop. Right. I'm talking and kablamo. You got rear ended hard. Didn't you? Yeah. You're hard. And I didn't even realize it. I was like, what the hell? And sure enough, Dr. K got rear-ended. Oh! Were you in front? I was in the front seat because I'm… Dr. K is a very diminutive person. He's a very… Yeah, he's teeny tiny. He's tiny. And so I sat up front with Dr. K. We get blasted in the back, you know? Yeah. And you get ass blasted. Did you? Yeah, it was rough. I was like, it wasn't gentle. It was rough. It was not gentle at all. I mean, we got kablowy and I, the rear ending to the gas station. And, and luckily the person that hit him pulled in as well. And we had to go through the whole process of, yeah, of an accident thing. So the funny thing is we pull in and I'm like, So Dr. K gets out. I get right out because, you know, I don't know what's going to happen. I'm like, I'm ready to back him up, right? Yeah, right. Okay. Well, I'm fairly tall and quite broad. And so I figured he's not. Yeah. And so I got out. Well, Dr. J did not get out. Yeah. Oh, Jesus. Are you all right? Yeah, he was all right. But I'm like, he was not looking for a fight. I was like, this guy is going to try to blame my friend. I'm going to be there to help out. It's like Billy Barty and Junior Samples wanting to have a freaking fight with somebody. Well, what would Dr. K be then? You know him because you had lunch with him. Yeah. What's his character if I'm Junior and… i don't know. I think about that you can't think of one okay i don't want to make this weird yeah i don't want to make this weird i pop out of the car. K top pops out of the car. He goes, and it's this duck dynasty looking guy with a big beard and he's driving a pickup truck, you know? And so they start talking and, And, um, I'm like walking, but it all seems to be going well. Right. I'm pacing and, um, with your other hand, you're like, yeah, he takes the blame. So then I walk around in the back of Dr. K's car and I'm like, there's liquid dribbling out of the back of his car. Oh yeah. That's my thought. I was like, Holy mother of God, is this gasoline? Oh, fuck. Got a body back there. Fuck. Fuck. And so I'm like, I look at it for a while and it's coming out like, you know, it's coming out like, you know, a Miles title piss. So it's like in spurts. It's not like a, you know, it's not even funny, man. Even say something. It's like dribble, dribble, dribble. Anyway. So I'm like, I hope this isn't gas. Cause then I'm stuck. We're not anywhere miles from anywhere. Then you did a crutch down, put your fingers in it and smell it. I did. So then I stuck my hand, I stuck my finger in there and then I sniffed it, but I have a really bad nose, you know? And so it didn't smell like anything. And so then Dr. K comes walking around. I go, someone's coming out of your car and he sniffed my finger and no, not gas. So then Dr. J finally sees that everything's okay and, Yeah. Yeah. And he wanders out of the car. Like he just woke up or something. Hey, and i think i hurt my back real bad. Yeah. And then he comes around looks at so we're trying to figure out what the hell. And then we're like, you got a case of water back here, but it just kept coming it just yeah it just kept going right yeah a little weird. Yeah, it was really weird. We're like, you don't have a back windshield wiper washer thing, no? I mean, it dribbled the whole time we were waiting for the police. It dribbled, and it dribbled, but it wasn't brake fluid. We kept going through all the fluids, right? Yeah. And then Dr. J crawls under the car. He's so little, he can walk under it. He just did little. I know. and he's like, no, he's like, it coming from the trunk. It's coming from up there. It's not coming from the gas tank or any like break lines or anything. So we wait, the police show up and, you know, we got two police people to show up. So we were at a nice part of town. And that even showed up. Yeah. You know, yeah. It showed up as a nice part of town. Yeah. And, uh, so they, you know, we all have to, well, those guys have to give statements. They, you know, give me the crook guy. Are you here? Who are you with?

My guest tonight is Jeff Ponder. Jeff, how are you doing? I always want to say Pounder. It's Ponder, right? Back in my day, somebody used to call me Quarter Pounder. I always wanted to thought of that. Well, and it's funny because they were like, oh, being funny because you're a fat little kid, you know, and it's like, Yeah, but you're saying I'm a quarter of a pound, so really it's not an insult. Well, he was one of those people that whenever they made the third pounder, he's like, I'm not buying that. That's less of a value than the quarter pounder. That's right. He's one of those people. Not doing that. So it's always been – I'm going to read the intro here, Jeff. It's always been Jeff's dream to join the mainstream media in some way in his journey to reach the pinnacle – He discovered podcasting in 2011, starting in St. Louis Blues Hockey Podcast. That's still going today. Let's Go Blues Radio has become a staple in secondary media coverage in the St. Louis hockey community. And tonight, he's entering into the world of comedy. Or maybe he's already been there, and he's just doing it here tonight as well. I don't know. We'll find out a little bit more. But Jeff, the stage is yours. Yes, thank you, and uh it's great to be here this is uh this is the pinnacle uh this is actually something i've been wanting to do, is join lament tonight so i'm gonna lament a little bit uh it is weird doing this remotely, a little bit of stand up here um it's not something you would think that would have happened, you know, what, 20, even 15 years ago? But, you know, there's a lot of weird things that really aren't the norm anymore. Someplace I work right now, dogs in the office. Can you imagine that years ago? You know, back, Bob, maybe in 99, 2000 even. Hey, boss, I just rode in on my Buick Skylark. And as I passed the haberdashery, I thought maybe it'd be fun to bring Fido into the office today. What is that boss going to say? You get your ass to your typewriter, and you give me a good 15 hours without breaks, I'll consider letting you leave in time for the Brooklyn Dodgers game. Maybe that was all a little bit too much, but you know what I mean. Is it weird, though, that I would rather be in an office of dogs than an office of people? You know, it's weird because, you know… The dogs, you know, they're very loud. They can be jumpy. You know, coworkers, they may not pee on the floor. Hopefully they're not. But they sure find other ways to annoy me. Like, hey, Jeff, you see that episode of This Is Us last night? You know, I want to watch This Is Us. Do I look like a This Is Us guy? No. You know, no, I didn't watch the curling match from three years ago that was on ESPN Classic last night. No, dogs aren't going to ask me that. They're lovable. They just want to jump on me and have some fun. I do get distracted very easily, though, with these dogs. It takes me about 45 minutes to get to my desk every morning. So I'll get there about, you know, 8 o'clock. I don't get to my desk until almost 9 o'clock. And it's a little crazy because it's like, you know, Jeff, get to work, get to work. But I just want to pet all the dogs. But I will say I make up for it. when there's kids in the office. Then it's a race to my desk. Then it's, oh, I don't want to be bothered by all these weird questions about, hey, you want to see my coloring book? No, kid, I don't. I want to pet the dog and get to my desk. But what does it say about me that I prefer dogs over kids in the office, though? You know, you keep hearing like, mom, my iPad died. Dad, I'm bored. At least dogs just bark. I pat them on the head, give them a treat, and they're quiet until the UPS guy shows up. And, you know, these kids, they're just always needing something, like they're humans or something. Thank you, everyone. I'm Jeff Ponder. You were great. Bob, back to you. Yeah, fantastic. Here, let me give you a little round of applause here. Oh, that's so good. We have all these neat gadgets here on the plausible platform. If you go down, you can always clap. You can, uh, you can cry. Oh, those dogs. Oh, I can feel the heart, everything. Anyway, Jeff, thanks for doing that. It was very fun. So you really work with dogs? Yes. Yes. Dogs are in the office every single day. Um, it's, it's great. Um, you know, I make a lot of jokes about working with the people I work with, but they're all good people too. And, um, they are very welcoming to you, uh, bothering them and coming up and petting their dogs. And, and I'll say, that's another thing that I do, Bob is I, uh, I forget my coworkers names, but I don't forget their dogs names. That's interesting. Well, they also have a hanging from their neck. So, That's true. That helps. That does help. If the coworkers were to do that, you'd probably be able to remember. Oh, hey, Bill. It's funny because they all have it on their desk. So you walk by and you're like, oh, hey, Jeff. Oh, hey, Marcy. And you're like, I'm not Marcy. I'm Daphne. I'm just sitting at Marcy's desk. Well, get your ass out of Marcy's seat. She's going to be pissed. So do people like get to walk the dogs then? Like, I mean, the dog has got to, you know, I mean, they sleep a lot, granted. But every once in a while, they got to get up and go outside and whatnot. Or do you have an inside bathroom for the dogs? There is not an inside bathroom. That would be a very nice addition to the office. But no, people do have to get up and walk their dogs. And it is funny because there's times, you know, when… I'll be in a meeting, and it'll be like, oh, hey, I got to bounce for five minutes. I got to take the dog for a walk. And I'm like, this is a place. I mean, it's funny because you're like, this is a place of business, but you're also like, yes, go take care of that dog. That is more important than anything we're doing right now. That's right. We're going over this budget, but no, take that dog out. No, I'm just joking. Please take the dog out. Please take the dog out. That's fun, though. It is. There was a recent discussion where I work about having a cat there besides myself. Of course. And yeah, so I was like, well, I'm up for it, right? I know I like dogs as well, but this was the discussion. My worry was because dogs tend to stick to their owners for the most part, right? And so they don't wander off, especially if they're fairly… you know, I want to say good dog, but you know what I mean? A fairly loyal dog. They don't run around and take off. The cat will just be right out the door. Yep. And so then it's just going to be, I was just imagining it's going to be a series of incredible joy when the cat arrives and heartbreak when it runs out the door and we never see it again. Yep. And I'll say that is there is one person who was bringing a cat into the office. And it was a little bit of a because like she would get there before all the dogs. She'd get there as early as she could. And the cat would usually just hide in the corner. No problem. But every now and then she'd come back to her desk from the bathroom or whatever. And the cat's gone. And so you're like, OK, either this cat is going to get eaten by a dog or ran out. front door or it's hiding somewhere under a desk and like half the day you're thinking oh my gosh i may never see my cat again but yeah she always found a way to get the cat back at the end of the day and she'd go home with the cat well that's good yeah i would worry about it we've had the cats and dogs here and i only worry about the cats until they get when they're kittens Once they grow, you know, develop into like a regular old cat, then they take care of the dogs. Even though they're so much smaller, typically, there's never been an issue with the cat. Dog getting too rough with the cat. Always the cat gets too rough with the dog. Well, the cat is so quick to just swap. you know, and dogs, it, it, it totally throws dogs off. Cause it takes them a minute. You know, they, they sit back, they growl, they put their hind legs up and they're like, I'm going to attack in the next four minutes, you know, and the cats are like, come here. And then just slash their face open. Oh, my face. Wait, it's only been three and a half. Not ready to fight yet. Ready to fight. Yeah. So, so, uh, So let's pause for just a second if
