The Intriguing Chad from titfos.com
6d agoTap to summarizeThe Intriguing Chad from titfos.com Bob and Chad discuss Chad’s book and longstanding website, The Incredibly True Facts of Space, an eccentric collection of short stories, surreal lists, and abstract poetry. After reading snippets featuring alien trivia and a “Dracula telethon,” the pair embark on a broad, nostalgic discussion spanning early retail jobs, retro adding machines, vintage calculators, classic Canadian children’s television, and the short-lived Sid and Marty Krofft theme park. As the chat wanders into early tech culture, road trip memories, and AI hallucinations, Bob pitches an idea for a modern workplace comedy set in a dispensary, prompting shared stories about past office politics, manipulating budgets for massive CRT monitors, and eccentric former bosses before wrapping up the interview. titfos.com https://youtube.com/live/2WJbLvcUkGw Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody. Welcome. I’ve got Chad from TitBose. Thank you. TitBose.com. The incredibly true facts. Oh, I said incredibly, didn’t I? the world. acts of space, but they meant it literally. True Facts of Space 2029 because people are taking this public domain packaging it. every variant you can imagine. here’s one here. Let me, uh, let me share this. This is, uh, the incredible facts about space. There we go, man. And then it’s not the true ones though. It’s only the incredible ones. Here’s amazing ones, right? These people And then this is interesting facts. So they’re not even incredible. Yeah. And then you got the fun facts. True. There is something almost… I wouldn’t say that that’s not already the case. that is historically proven to be true, too, over and over again yeah I think I think it’s true it’s hyper true I think if you got 80 then you’re doing pretty good yeah I think we’re lucky to get over 50 like 55 is uh is probably the positive, don’t you think?see how you could talk yourself into several different positions depending on some bigger picture belief systems you had pinned down already so Thank you. Exactly. That’s right. there you go now now you actually have written a book called the incredible true facts of space as well. So you have the website you had the website for years, though. The website has been around for there you go. For over 20 years. But the book You’re kind of doing it all backwards here. Usually the book comes out. It isn’t available. Okay. Well, there you go. that’s interesting yeah I guess well you get certain ones with Amazon Prime anyway but I think there’s other add-ons that you can do as well so Right, right. You know, a part of that. Audible. Yeah. I think they own Audible.gotcha oh there goes your lights everybody The plus is usually a $5. They should have called it Prime 5. Because it’s all $5. I want to start that right now. Everybody’s doing plus. We’re going to do 5. What do you think? Titfos 5. It’s a solid number. I’ve always was partial to it from the time I was a child because… And it’s an odd number, which I enjoy odd numbers. It truly is. So that way, even numbers are kind of shady. It’s true. Well, some people have six, but it’s okay. there’s, Right. Right, yeah. That’s true. Interesting. Ha ha ha! Yeah, it doesn’t have anything to do with that. Okay. I don’t like this, so I’m going to make it fail. Okay. Sure, sure. You type words and whatnot, hold them upside down. Sure. Well, that’s one level of fun.Deep thought here in the box. I love calculators. You think people really before the late 60s, early 70s didn’t have access to calculators, and then cheap calculators came out in the late 70s, early 80s. Really? Right. Exactly. No, it was. I had, as a kid, we had an adding machine, which was this huge mechanical monster with all the buttons. It didn’t have, you know, now you just have 10 buttons. It had 100 buttons, right? So you’d have 10 digits with all 10 digits. Oh, you want to amortize the number? Yeah. Do you want the French method? Yeah. And then you had this big handle, almost like a one-armed bandit that you then had to pull down, and it shot up these metal typeset things that had the numbers on them, and then they would smack against the paper. Oh, wow. It was a monster. Not only the calculation, but then your numbers.Yeah, well, it went onto the paper, and you go, ka-chunk! And it was the funnest thing to play with. It was outdated technology. This is probably from the 20s or something. I don’t know. You talk about playing with calculators. That was more. And it was very industrial and heavy. I mean, you couldn’t carry it around. There were a lot of mom-and-pop shops still using those. Yeah, and you go, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ka-chunk! Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ka-chunk! And then, you know… Oh, no. My mother did the books and she would sit down there and she would do this really quickly. I mean, she was, you know, she was adept because she’d been using that thing, obviously, for probably a couple of decades at that point. So it was it was fascinating where it worked.You muted yourself there. There you go. Mike. Bob? Yeah. Okay. You’re there. We had a connection problem. You just muted yourself for a moment. That’s all. Ah, rats. I was telling you, when I worked at a grocery store, you know, one of my first jobs, and the ladies that worked the cashiers, you know, they would still doing a lot of typing. They were scanning things, but they were still doing a lot of typing and everything was still cash. So it’s kind of a different skill set. I’ve noticed going through that, uh, just the absence of, of effort that it used to require, you know, having, you know, having worked as a, as a kid, do you see my gosh, you know, we’re lucky we still have, uh,so I always wait in line to go in the cashiers lines at Publix because I just, I like the fact that they still have cashiers on duty. Yeah. So, you know, miles, uh, my cohost for static radio, he’s a, I always go into the, the people line rather than the computer line. Yeah. And then I always go into the self checkout. You do. Yeah. Oh yeah. Cause I don’t, I don’t want the, uh, interaction, uh, Or the scrutiny on what I’m buying is usually the thing. I like to talk about it. Yeah, I like that. But he’s more social like you where he wants to interact with these folks and find something out, I guess. I don’t know. I’d get to say, look, these incontinence pants really are for my dog. Yeah.That’s right. You can tell they’re not my size. It’s obvious. Would you like to open them together? Well, so let’s talk about the book a little bit here. What would you call it as, I mean, other than the facts about space, would you call it a compilation of short stories? Yeah, yeah, it is. It’s a mix. It’s It’s a light read. I don’t even know. It was like 160 pages on Kindle. Oh, man. I didn’t spring for the page numbers. What the hell? I have 190 on my PDF that you sent me. This is a proof copy. Oh, okay. I see it’s got the proof on there. Yeah, so it’s not really for sale. I do like your artwork. I will say your artwork is very good. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah, I like it. It is an AI background with an AI chair and an AI TV and AI carpet.I’m going to take back my statement. No, I’m just joking. No, I mean, I like, cause you use the incredibly incredible true facts of space part multiple times. Obviously you’ve added something to the book, but yeah, I’ve seen that other part many, many times. Let’s see. So it started in a Walmart in a inner hell little box where I was supposed to be selling cell phones and was pretty much the directed not to worry about it so uh you know, I, I was like, okay. And Darren didn’t like me being in the office because I, you know hung inappropriate posters in the, in the bathroom once. Um, I was still ju...

Tooterville Bad AI Transcript Do do do do do do do do do Podcasting live from Long Beach, California, Miles Tidal. Living in a refrigerator box underneath the highway. They keep pushing you in, and you wake up when you get wet, so it’s a tough life. Yeah. Help him, please. Put some water on him. Leave his blowhole alone. Right. Is that a tidalist? Yeah. Aren’t blowholes a weird thing? It sounds like a Seinfeld bit. You ever think about a blowhole? What’s the deal? What’s the deal? What’s the deal? But yeah, I mean, how’d that work? You know what I mean? Because they still have a mouth. I guess they blowhole the nose that just moved over to the top of their head. Yeah, I guess. I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m not into that.This evolution is just wild to think about, don’t you? I mean, there’s a lot of things that have a blowhole. Mm-hmm. You know? Yeah, I guess. I guess. Yeah. I mean, how does that happen? Does it slowly move up and then at one point it was like right between their eyes and it’s like… This isn’t working so good. We need to make it a little higher on the face there. I hadn’t really thought about it, but I’ll consult a cartographer. Because most of the animals with the blowhole are mammals. In fact, I think all of them are mammals. You’re getting outside of Uncle Miles’ range of expertise there, so I’m going to go with you on this. My comfort zone. I didn’t really do good in the sciences in school, I’ll be honest with you. You know, we went to college with the guy who helped bring the snorks to animation, you know, to the snork show, to television. Really? Well, we didn’t go there the same time he was there, butWe went there shortly after he was there, I think. And the Snorks is kind of like the whole blowhole on top of the head. Do you remember this cartoon, the Snorks? No, I have no idea what the Snorks are. They look like Smurfs, but instead of Smurfs, they live underwater and they have like a snorkel on their head. If you will, yes. It’s kind of bad, you know. They’re called Snorks. Anyway. You know, maybe. I don’t know. It’s been a bad day. I’ll tell you that. I’ve been concussed three times in my life, so I’m going to go yes on this. I don’t know. Now, each time it happened, was it different or was it the same? Well, yeah. I mean, it was like trauma. Yes. I mean, the effects of it, right? You get hit in the head really hard. Yeah.No, I’ve been knocked out. I’m saying I have been knocked out in accidents probably three times at least. Three times? You got knocked completely out cold? Yeah. Really? Yeah. That can’t be good. You tell me. I don’t know. Thank God you don’t have a blowhole because it would have gotten right in the blowhole. It would have saved me a lot of time. Blowhole. I have only, that I’m aware of, had one concussion. Yeah. And it was on those goddamn scooters that they had in school. Oh, God. Basically, somebody had the right idea to take furniture movers, shrink them a little bit, and give them to children to get pushed around on at high speeds. Yeah. Yeah. And I was laying on it. I got pushed right into somebody’s kneecap and I just about, I didn’t, I didn’t pass out, but I saw stars. Yeah. And they just, they sent me home. Uh, the only time I’ve ever been punched in the face was, uh, playing scooter basketball.On purpose? Punched in the face? No, no, he meant to do it. I just didn’t know it was coming. It wasn’t like a kid that you would expect to like, hey, by the way, kaboom, you know. Never saw it coming. Had no idea that he was that upset about it. Well, were you grabbing his ass or something? He accused me of cheating, apparently. You can’t cheat in school basketball. i was so horrible at sports, I don’t know how i could cheat. You know, but i don’t know i don’t know either i don’t know did you possibly have a blow hole that you were breathing out of uh maybe he was jealous. I don’t know. Which would you rather have, a blow hole or gills? I’d rather have gills and a punch in the face. I don’t know. Just curious. Yeah. Yeah.That’s weird. Yeah, that’s weird. Yeah, I saw stars. This was in high school. They sent me home. I somehow got a ride home. I think my friend Mark took me home. I promptly go home. I go to sleep. Oh, you’re not supposed to do that. Yeah, which is the number one thing that you’re not supposed to do when you have a concussion. Right. Right. then my mom comes home, and she’s like, she wakes me up, and she’s like, what are you doing here? Right, right. I’m like, oh, I hit my head. Really hard. You’ll get back to school. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that whole interchange, and she’s like, really? I’m like, yeah. And she’s like your brother. Yeah, and yeah, so then, yeah, I thinkYou know, it’s probably good that, you know, nowadays they have a little more education on these kind of things because, yeah. This guy’s got CTE now. Yeah. It could have gone either way, you know. I was like Schrodinger’s cat while I was sleeping. It could have gone either way. Yeah, no one knew. Yeah, it could have been. Then my mom woke me up, and luckily it went one way. Yeah. Yeah. So whenever you got knocked out completely, how did you wake up? I’m in the hospital. All three times? Yeah. Really? Yeah. 101 was a car accident. One was a bicycle accident. Okay. No. And the third one? I don’t remember. I think you’re lying. I mean, it was two times. I mean, it was two times. Okay. Now the truth comes out. Third time. I was found face down by my bicycle. It was in Stud...

Uh, Miles with uh a thing called static Radio. Hey Miles, how are you? I am reclined. That’s probably what the problem is with all your phlegm, is you’re laying down practically. If you’d sit up, it would all, you know you all your drainage would be proper. Well, you seem to know a lot about drainage. know what that’s supposed to mean, but You were bragging about it earlier. I was bragging about drainage? Yeah, you’re like, I don’t drain all right it’s my esophageal cancer. Yeah, it sounds like it. I think put that shut out you know like it’s like you’re uhfour pack a day smoker or something over there.

How long you been doing this thing? It’s like, I don’t know, three years? I just was interested. I wanted to ask a question, and you answered it. You’re like, honey, when did we switch from butter to margarine? I don’t know, 20 years ago? Why did we have to decaf? I didn’t realize. Things like that have happened in my life. How come I’m wearing diapers and not underwear anymore? And this isn’t our home. You get back in your room now. I’m not your wife, idiot. This is not my beautiful wife. So yeah, you may ask yourself.And so then we got on this whole thing where I show him all these social media posts that I’ve been doing that he is not aware of. I am on social media somewhat, but I kind of… I think I post them on TikTok somewhere too. I don’t know. You’re not on TikTok. I am on TikTok. You barely post bullshit. Okay. Bye. Lies, lies and more lies. And then i’m making little uh like 8-bit games on the website and and i mean you know it’s a whole thing. I’m having fun. I, okay. I didn’t know. So, enjoy people, enjoy.

Usually involve our characters in some way, shape, or form. Me melting. You what? Me melting in every cartoon. Oh, you melting. Yeah, the cartoons have you melting. I think that’s funny. I don’t know. I think people find…You as a snowman melting funny. You know, that would not have been my first pick as a character. Well, unfortunately, you didn’t know how to do anything, and so I picked it. No, that’s okay. I think it’s a very apropos character for you. I guess. I don’t know if it would be my first choice for myself. You have a very large round head. Right. You have a very prominent nose. Correct. And you wear a Bears memorabilia and jerseys and that stuff all the time. That’s what the snowman has. And I have a jelly belly. Yeah. I mean, I did make you, if you recall, you were on a Bears playing card as your character. Yeah. You like that one. Well, if it’s tastefully done, I don’t want to be embarrassed. Yeah.I try to, you know, each time I try to go back and forth to where, you know, I’ll get your goat, then you’ll get my goat, you know what I mean? I don’t be eating tacos in the car, for instance. I thought that was funny. Inappropriate. You read a little bit too much into everything, I think. I am reading a lot into these cartoons. Yeah. I feel very uncomfortable watching these with you for half an hour. This is weird, dude. This is weird. I try to make them interesting. I mean, to some degree, I’m glad you’re a quote-unquote friend of mine, I suppose. Oh, God. Sometimes I feel very uncomfortable with it, too. You know what I’m saying? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know.You figure it out. Yeah, eating in the car. It’s like a thing. There’s all these videos of people eating in a car. I thought it wouldn’t be funny if our characters were eating in a car. This guy sends me chocolates on Valentine’s Day and stuff. I’m getting weird with it, man. I’m like, I don’t know. This is like crossing the line. The only thing I send you is postcards, which, by the way, you’ve got your postcards from my latest trip. I did. Yeah. And I sent you a postcard from the place that you suggested. Yes. I said, thank you. Now the, the funny thing behind that is I actually was going to get you a gift. Yeah. So we went, we were in Charleston, South Carolina recently. This is called a segue by the way, everyone. And, uh,And you had recommended, you said you should go see the Hunley. Well, that’s totally up everybody’s alley who was on the trip, right? We love these historical things. And for those of you who don’t know what the Hunley is, the Hunley was the first submarine. Correct. Successful battle. And it blew up a ship. It did. Yeah. I can’t remember the name of the ship now. The Constitution. No, was it the Constitution? The Chattahootook. Yeah. So anyway, it was a Chappaquiddick. I think they blew it up. A lot of people drowned. No one’s fault. But the, the guys who, the funny thing is, and that’s not funny in any way, shape or form, actually two people, two sets of people died in the submarine. That’s correct. One, when they were testing it, they killed everybody. And then they actually had a successful mission.And blew up a Union ship. So they were the Confederates made the submarine. So it was a Confederate submarine. And they blew up a Union ship. And then they were successful. Everybody knew they were successful. And then somehow they died on the way back. Yeah. So kind of a mixed, yeah. Yeah, a little bit. It was good and bad. And then… Apparently, at that point, everybody’s like, you know what? We can’t get any more volunteers to go on these goddamn submarines, so we’re going to scrap this idea. Anyway, the...

What was that kid’s name? That’s the kid’s real name is Jacob, I think. Well, everyone knows that, right? I have no idea. That would be a good question. I don’t either. I have no idea. I don’t remember. I’ll have to look it up, but I’m not going to. This is a no-look-up show. You can’t look anything up. Not looking up, anyone. God forbid. I don’t think Bob looks up to some dresses. I think I’ll continue with a couple more vacation stories if you want to hear them. No, I don’t.Okay, well then go ahead. What do you have to talk about? No, come on. Go ahead. Come on. So I was thoroughly chastised for the entire… I just got back from vacation a little while ago. I was certainly chastised for the whole vacation by my wife and my daughter and then my in-laws, my brother and mother-in-law. So we are leaving town… to go on vacation. We did a little bit of a road trip. And, uh, as we’re leaving town, my wife is like, I have to do a number two, a work, a work call. I have to call on a conference call for work. Yeah. As we’re leaving town, I can’t get out of it. I have to do it from the car here. And, um,She’s like, everybody be quiet. And so I’m like, okay. Yeah, no problem. Excuse me. And we get to the corner of town, and I’ve already forgotten. And I look over, and there’s a farm trailer on the corner. Mm-hmm. And this is where every year they come and sell corn and tomatoes. And so I go, hey, the corn stands going to be open. Apparently, I said it very loudly. Oopsies. And so all of her workmates hear me say the coin stand’s going to be open. And she gets so angry with me. So she gives me, you know, she shoots me a dirty look at everything. You’re stupid. I’m like, oh, yeah, I was supposed to be quiet, right? I didn’t say anything dirty. What are you, what are you, chicken chonk? Hey, man. Jesus.I didn’t say anything like that, you know, this fucker cut me off or anything. I just said, hey, the corn stand’s open. And so the whole vacation, any time I was about to say something, the corn stand’s open? Uh-huh. Every time, I just kept getting it. The corn stand’s open! You know, like an idiot. The corn stand! And so, but… But the reality was when we got back from vacation. Everyone went there. Yes. Everybody went there. My wife’s like, will you run me down to the corn stand? I’m like, son of a bitch. Son of a bitch. Honey, would you be a deer? Yeah. If only I were Ike Turner. Anyway. All right. what’s love got to do with it? Corn stand. So, yeah, so we went down and got some corn, and you know what? It was really fucking good. Yeah. It’s the best fucking corn, I swear to God, when that corn stand opens. It’s like, gotta go get some, right? Do you have a corn stand where you live? Yeah, they have some, yeah. Yeah, exactly. So we got corn, we got tomatoes at the corn stand, but it made me so angry because I was made fun of for…you know, like a week and a half. You’re stupid. Yeah, you’re stupid. You ruined my business meeting saying corn stand. You know, I didn’t curse or anything. There’s a lot worse things you could have said. Yeah, I could have said, yeah, a lot of, a lot worse things. Trust me, if we were, if the driving situation, if it was totally switched and she was driving and I was on a business call, there would have been cursing of everybody around us, you know, the cocksucker cut me off. Son of a bitch. Yes. Yeah. You know what I mean? Cause that’s the way my wife talks. Yes. That is not an understanding. Yeah. Let’s not even exaggerate. I can’t even think of how many dirty things that she would say while driving on vacation that she did say, Oh my God, we got stuck in traffic for construction. It was just constant profanity, which by the way, I have a question for you. Go ahead. So we went,down south, we went down to uh georgia was our most southern point. We were in Savannah, Georgia. And we went to a lot of places in between. But anyway, why in the south do they wait until summer to do the road construction? It doesn’t get that cold down there. They could do it all year long almost. But they wait until the summer to do the road construction. What’s the deal? Is it like it’s like a union thing or something? I don’t know. You usually know people, so Well, I could probably find out. I know people that work for me. I could find out. I’m like, I could probably find out for you. I was like, we’re down there. We’re sitting in traffic. And I’m like, what the hell? They could do this any time of the year. It’s not like being up north here where you get snow and everything. They get nothing down there. It gets a little chilly. They don’t realize Bob Lamont’s in line and I don’t wait in line.I waited like a half an hour to get between Tennessee and Kentucky. It was a big to-do. I don’t know what...

Celebrity Ghost Encounters with Michael Gardner
4w ago00:45:06Tap to summarizeCelebrity Ghost Encounters Get ready to strap in for a wildly unpredictable episode of Mondo Freako! Host Bob LeMent sits down with Michael Gardner (host of Savage Unfiltered) for a hilarious, spine-chilling conversation that goes from zero to paranormal real quick. After kicking things off with a laugh-out-loud Johnny Cash trivia quiz that Michael completely bombs, the show takes a dark, gripping turn. Forget the Hollywood theatrics you see on Netflix—Michael is delivering an exclusive, firsthand account of a terrifying, true ghost encounter that left him scared cashless in the heart of Music City. While working as a movie extra in Nashville, Michael checked into a historic, centuries-old Airbnb for some late-night relaxation. But the cozy vibe quickly evaporated when the room plunged into a deep freeze, the TV glitched out, and a mysterious green glow filled the doorway. Standing before him was the legendary “Man in Black” himself—Johnny Cash—staring him down with a chilling, cryptic warning about the historic property’s dark past. From discussing spiritual frequencies to exploring Hollywood’s most elite spectral VIPs (like John Belushi and the Black Dahlia), this episode is a must-listen for paranormal junkies and music history buffs alike. Can your frequency handle it? Tune in to find out!

Yeah, he’s actually my grandfather, actually. And his last name was Savage? No, the girl’s last name is Weiner, Michael Weiner. Oh, okay. Yeah, that would be on my mother’s side. Well, go figure. Well, Michael and I have known each other for quite some time.And I didn’t realize that he was moving on up to the east side here. He’s up in the tower now, glass tower looking down upon Atlantaville. And it looks great, though. Yeah, more or less. How’s the air up there? Pretty good? Oh, it’s great. You know, I have to look down every now and then, you know. I’m on the 20th floor, folks, you know. Yeah, it looks like it. Goodness gracious. That’s fantastic. Yeah, yeah. Hope there’s no fires. with all these trees in the background. I hope not. So, so Michael, let’s get a plug in for the show. It’s a Savage Unfiltered show.

There’s a podcast. Or a platform or a podcast platform. We’re all over the place like a roach sometimes, you know? That’s right. Don’t pound on the wall. They’ll all be coming out. That’s right. Pound on the roach. Don’t pound on us. That’s right. So, actually, this is the first for Mondo Frico because you’re bringing me a story. That’s right. When normally… we talk about a story that’s kind of been out there, but you have an original story for us this week. And apparently it revolves around a certain guy named Johnny Cash. Is that correct? That’s right. Don’t go into it too far yet. Okay. Oh, you went into it a little bit too far, but okay. I’m just following your lead there. Okay. But so usually what happens is I give everyone a choice.on taking a quiz. They can take a quiz before we talk about the story or a quiz after we talk about the story. Cause a lot of times they don’t really know what we’re going to talk about, but this time you’re, you know, cause you made up the, uh, you know, it’s your story. It’s not my story. And so I made a quiz about Johnny cash. Do you want to take the quiz or do you want to talk about your story first? Oh, let’s, uh, let’s do the quiz. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Why not? Quiz. All right. Quiz. I love it. Quiz. Quiz is always good. So let me get my Johnny Cash quiz going here. Can you see that? We could see it, yeah. Oh, good. All right. Come on, quiz music. Finish up. So is it big enough for you? I can make it a little bit bigger. I wear glasses, Bob, but my eyesight’s on. Oh, good. So I’m going to ask you five questions.about the legend that is Johnny Cash, maybe you learn some of these answers from your ghostly encounter with him. Maybe. So we’ll see what happens, right? Okay. So the first question, question number one of five, which iconic 1963 crossover song became one of Johnny Cash’s biggest signature hits, co-written by June Carter, his wife, June Carter Cash? Was it Folsom Prison Blues, I Walk the Line, A Boy Named Sue, or Ring of Fire? I have a hint if you really want it. I’m pretty well endowed with Johnny Cash. So I’m going to do I Walk the Line. I Walk the Line. Oh, no. Wait a minute. Okay. That’s okay. That’s okay. It’s the first question out of the gate. Don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about it. You’re fine. I’m a sorry excuse for a Johnny Cash fan. You’re fine. All right. Let’s just forget about that. Go to question number two. What nickname was Johnny Cash widely known by due to his distinctive dark stage attire? Was it the Midnight Rider, the Outlaw King, the Nashville Legend, or the Man in Black? I have a hint if you’d like to have it.I’m going to do The Man in Black. All right. The Man in Black is it. Fantastic. Okay. There you go. One to one. You’re doing great. Okay. Number three. In his final years, Johnny Cash won critical acclaim for covering which Nine Inch Nails industrial rock song? Was it Personal Jesus, Hurt, Rusty Cage, or The Man Comes Around? This is something I don’t even know. I have to do that hint. The chilling music video became a poignant retrospective of his entire life. Does that help you at all? Let...

I’m like fuck is it still there? I Uh, yeah, I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Oh, that’s so sorry, mile. That’s so terrible. I know. I’m glad I don’t live by you. Cause you’d probably be suing me by now. Or a French bit rent on this tree branch. Yeah. I know your tree landed in my mulch. You’re going to have to pay me for this space. So,I’m starting to think, like, you know, he might be right. Uh-oh. Now you’re thinking that you’ve just finally come to this realization. Yeah, it’s like one of those monster movies where the guy’s all in denial, like, oh, there’s no monster out there. And then he’s, like, the middle of the movie. He’s like, well, fuck, maybe there is. There can’t be giant rabbits. There ain’t no Bigfoot, son. Oh, shit. Holy moly. Yeah, I was like, oh, okay. Well, maybe the boy’s got a point. Bigfoot sent me over a stump. Yeah. Do it again.

Next thing I know, three days later, we have three inches of rain come down in one day. I’m like, well, I’m fucked. Yeah. More tree limbs are coming down. Now your backyard’s full of tree limbs.

I’ll have to have Bob over more often, I guess. Anyway, so that night I could go to bed. I’m like, all right, well, I don’t like to go to bed worrying about shit. I just go to bed. How do you go to bed not worrying about things?I don’t know. I just shut, I normally could shut it off. I don’t know why. I’m like, Oh yeah. Cause I fall asleep really fast. Well, between that and the suffocation, everyone wins out. So that night I’m sleeping and I, all of a sudden, uh, like this dream starts. And like one of my sisters is like, Oh man, she goes, our mom is writing like checks to like her local church. Like, her yearly Christmas donation. Okay. But she wants to give it to the church early this year. Mm-hmm. He goes, isn’t that weird? I’m like, oh, fuck. That is weird. Like, maybe she knows, you know, like, you know, like, oh, shit.

Because now… This little shit has cursed me.He had to scrape off the curse and put it on you. Yeah, he did. He bounced it on me. First of all, he tells me something horrible is going to happen, which the tree happened. And then he’s like, oh, this horrible dream happened. Then I have somewhat of a similar dream somewhat. Like, okay, that little shit happened. Why? Why? Why did I deserve it? Why did it bounce my way for? I’m bouncing back. I shake it off. I don’t want it. Give this to Bob LeBent. I don’t want it. I don’t want any of your weirdness. I’m bouncing it to you. There’s no bouncing. Yes. It’s like the ring. Once I tell this story, it’s going to happen to you.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.The Ring, isn’t that the movie where you watch the videotape and then… No, I have no… I don’t know what you’re talking about. Okay. Okay. All right. Well, I hope it doesn’t come to fruition. I know. I’m like, fuck. Because I haven’t really called my mom yet. I’m like, fuck. If it does… I know. You know who I’m blaming. I’m going to feel like an asshole. I know. I’m like, fuck. That’s what you feel all the time. Well, yeah, that’s true. I am an asshole. I am a freaking jerk. Well, I’m sorry your son feels that way.

Bob has FIFA overload and he’s wearing a kilt right now with nothing with nothing under it. That’s right. I’m flapping in the breeze. Hello. Stop flashing young children right now. The, I don’t, you know, the FIFA thing I don’t get. I mean, I just don’t, you know, do Americans really love soccer or football that much? Football? I imagine. Actually, I was just talking to you before we started recording that I went to lunch with some friends and one of them left to go watch a FIFA game at the end. Like we were done eating. Oh, I’m sure I know which one. Yeah.I was like, huh? Yeah. Which team does he like? He mentioned what game he was watching, but it’s beyond me now. I can’t remember. I’m going to go watch Paraguay. Yeah, Uruguay and Paraguay. I don’t know what it was, honestly, but I was just like, really? Yeah. It’s a big deal. I know it’s a big deal.

How in the world do you know all these really cool people? Yeah. I make sure that they’re never around when you’re around. You ever see that? You ever notice that? Mm-hmm.

My doctor finally confessed. He goes, you know what? You’re all fucked up. I go, why? He goes, all this meds I’ve got you on. I’m like, oh, you son of a bitch. The truth comes out. You know, I have all these problems. You know, my legs swell. I get phlegmy at night. You know, whatever else, you know. Whatever else. You didn’t mention your ED.You always mention your ED.

I don’t know why he loves that story of me almost being beat up by an old man at a hotel at the motel. It’s a motel. Yeah. Yeah. That’s a very, very old story, which I won’t go into, but yeah, he loves it. I remember you hit or something. Didn’t you, you know, we can debate that as to what I was doing, but ultimately I would have survived. Oh, okay. Had I gotten physical, I would have survived. At that point in time, you were a little more mobile. See, I could have flanked him. I could have come at him behind. My family could have taken the brunt of his beatings. I’d wait until his arms were tired. I’d wait until he gets worn down. That’s right. I’d wait for him to wear out a little bit. Then I’d put a full Nelson on this little guy and be like, all right, son of a bitch. Hey, you fucker.I put my chin right in the middle of his back. I’m like, oh yeah, you like this? Do you have a chin? Jesus, I didn’t even know you had a chin. Well, chins, chins. Oh my goodness. Well, do you have any more on that you want to talk about? No, that was just an old thing here. Okay. How your doctor says, I’ve screwed up your life because I’ve given you so many meds. Yeah, I’m drowning in my own fluids, basically. And I’m like, oh, okay. That’s good. I always go into like a list of things wrong with me. He’s like, yep, I caused that. Yep, I did that. Yep. And I just got a new Corvette. Basically, yeah.

The St. Clair Incident with Jeff Ponder
Jun 2100:45:06Tap to summarizeThe St. Clair Incident Bob welcomes his “new best friend” and fellow podcaster, Jeff Ponder, host of The Pondcast: Conversations That Go Nowhere. After a quick chat about Jeff’s background in St. Louis sports broadcasting and his show’s unique premise—which uses a random topic generator to force guests to think quickly on their feet—the duo dives into Bob’s preferred domain: the unexplained. Jeff opts to take a blind trivia challenge regarding the episode’s central topic, performing respectably by leaning on his St. Louis roots and intuition. The core of the discussion focuses on the infamous January 5, 2000, St. Clair Triangle UFO incident, where a massive, silent, triangular craft was sighted by multiple on-duty police officers across several Illinois suburbs just east of St. Louis. Bob and Jeff debate whether the football-field-sized object was a highly classified military prototype from the nearby Scott Air Force Base or genuine extraterrestrial technology. Given that 26 years have passed without any similar technology being publicly declassified by the military, both men ultimately land on “Team Alien,” concluding that the event remains one of the most compelling and unresolved multi-jurisdictional sightings in American history. The Pondcast https://youtube.com/live/gIw0O4qRhGY UFO Witness Game (Click Graphic to Start) Transcript (AI transcription) Hey, Pounder, how much does it cost to be Bob’s new best friend? Well, I charge by the hour, so it’s costing Bob a lot. Oh, no. Mondo Rico. Hey, everybody. Welcome to this edition of Mondo Rico. I’ve got Jeff Ponder with me. And Jeff’s my new best friend. If you haven’t noticed on the screen. Yep. We are definitely best friends. We’ve done one show together already, so that makes us best friends. Exactly. Yeah. What do they call that? Fast friends? Best friends? What do they call that? Fast friends, I think, is correct. Let’s go with that. So tell them about the Ponder cast. We’ll just get the plug in right away. How about that? Yeah, that works for me. So, yeah, I’m running something called, first of all, I’ve got a large background in podcasting. I don’t know if your audience is global or if they’re kind of central to St. Louis, but I’ve been podcasting about the St. Louis Blues for years.Oh, my goodness. Since 2011. Bob, I think you were let’s see, you were 65 in 2011. That’s right. I was somewhere in that range. Exactly. Yeah. So but yeah, I started I decided after a while because we kind of ran the show like a radio show. I’m like, man, the best conversations are just when it’s kind of spur of the moment. So I decided to come up with my own kind of interview slash show. conversational podcast, and it’s called The Pondcast, Conversations That Go Nowhere. Did I say Pondcast? I’m sorry. You did. That’s okay. I’m docking your pay for that. Well, I just looked at your last name. I know it’s part of his last name. I know it’s something like that. I toyed around with Pondercast just because it does fit the last name perfect, but I’m like podcast, Pondcast, and my logo, my idea, it actually was most people, I’ve had a couple people guess it, but the logo for the show is literally a car in the middle of a lake, and I got the idea from the office.For anyone who watches that, Michael Scott drives his car. He laked it, as they say. Right. He was listening to the GPS voice. Right. And so my thought was, you know, the, the second part of the show is called conversations that go nowhere. So it’s a car that went nowhere. So that’s kind of the whole idea. So I thought stick with podcast that works. That’s better than who was that lady that drove her kids into the water. Anyway, it’s better than that. Don’t go on. I shouldn’t have brought it up. I’m sorry. But yeah, we use a topic, a random topic generator is the whole idea on the show. And we literally in the middle of the moment, just hit enter. Boom, it gives us a topic. Bob, you came on, and ours was, was it impulse buying? I think it was, where do your socks go in the dryer? Right next to the Braunschweiger. Yeah, no, it was impulse buying. You’re correct. Okay, yeah, yeah. So we had a fun time with that, and we’re only about 13 episodes in now, and it’s been a blast. So I’m enjoying it. It’s going to be around for a while. I don’t care if I get five downloads an episode. It’s been fun. There you go.That’s the way to be. Are you looking for guests in case anybody’s listening to say, hey, I could be a guest on the podcast. So my one stipulation with having a guest and yes, anyone is welcome to contact me is that you just have to be quick on your feet. And so obviously, Bob, you know, like that, that impulse buying came across and it’s like, okay, this is what we’re talking about. You can’t have the, all right, can you give me about 10 minutes to prep with that? No, we’re going right into it. You have to have your own AI mind to get these answers very quickly. You can’t type it in. There’s no time for typing. When I did a couple kind of promo shows, what was it called? Pilots. I did a couple of pilot episodes, and I had a friend come on, someone I knew since high school. And so I picked her because I was like, you’re a witty person. You’re going to be good at this. And so she’d never done a podcast before. And so when it came up with her topic, she literally goes,okay, let me type this into AI on what to say. And then she kind of like started acting like she was typing. She’s going, and I go, Jen, that’s not the point of the show. She’s like, I’m just messing with you. And I was like, oh, you got me. Well, we have a somewhat random topic today. You did influence the topic because normally here on Mundo Frico, we do things that are cryptids, paranormal, supernatural, or UFOs. And then I asked you, I was like, well, what area would you like? And I think hopefully you said UFO because that’s what I’ve got for you today. I told you that I would be glad with any of those. If it’s just random, that’s fine. But I said the area that I’m most interested in is probably UFO. All right. So we got to go. And now I give the guest a choice. So we always do a quiz on the show.And I give the guests the choice to do the quiz before they find out more about what it is or after they know what it is. So I’ll let you know what’s going to happen if you do the quiz early. You may already know something about this. And we’ll find out. It’s kind of like find out what you know. If you do it after what I’ll ...

LeMent Tonight for June 17, 2026
Jun 19Tap to summarizeThis Week Comedian Grace Yao appeared as a guest on LeMent Tonight, sharing her experiences growing up as a first-generation Canadian-American and attending a strict all-girls Catholic high school. She hilariously compared her time at St. Agnes Academy to a prison sentence, joking about the intense guilt instilled by the nuns and the “speakeasy” vibe of the confession booths. Yao also opened up about her relationship with her traditional Chinese mother, who initially tried to raise her as a boy because she wanted a son. She joked that she eventually managed to “buy off” her mother’s persistent guilt and stalking by moving far away and purchasing her a white Lexus. Yao explained that entering stand-up comedy served as a form of therapy, allowing her to process her childhood trauma and get paid for it. During the interview, she participated in an improvisational game called “Ask Not,” intentionally giving terrible advice on topics like buying rusted-out junkyard cars and sending parents to the Titanic with nothing but a flashlight and a rope. Looking to the future, Yao discussed her upcoming aspirations, which include auditioning for acting and commercial gigs, utilizing her skills in Mandarin and martial arts, and producing a new stand-up show centered around female and mother-focused comedy. https://www.instagram.com/graceyao_00/ https://youtube.com/live/7LeogHUCymw Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody.

So Grace Yao, let me say a little bit about Grace before we bring her out here. So Grace Yao talks about family relationships, observation of rules in life we all follow and are fed up with. She has bottled up beautifully her polite rage into comedy. Everybody, Grace Yao. Thank you, thank you. Oh, I can hit the applause button. Oh, I raised my hand here. Let’s get some applause for you, of course, right? Sure, that’d be great. You stayed up late tonight uh she’s supposed to be watching uh love island or something and she decided she’d talk to me yeah yeah tv broke tv broke um yeah so how are you doing tonight grace i’m i’m hot it’s hot here umhot flashes don’t help. Yeah. Just feel like I’m incredible. I got stuck in an oven. Oh, gosh. Yeah. Yeah. But uh, yeah. So um, yeah, Bob and I were talking about shame for some reason right before. My that’s always my second subject when I talk to people. Yeah. Very, very nice opener there. Um, But it was great. It’s great because I’m also a Catholic school girl. Yeah. Yeah. I still have the outfit. Shut up anyways. Yeah, it was a school for, it was a high school for girls only. It wasn’t bad. It really wasn’t that bad, really. I mean, it’s like where girls go. You know, they hang out, they gossip, they braid each other’s hair. You know, it’s kind of like that place called prison.Yeah. Yep. I served four years at St. Agnes Academy of You Will Graduate If You Feel Guilty. Yeah, I graduated the class of I’m sorry, I’m a sinner. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. Oh my god, I think a really good. Sorry, sorry. You know, have you ever seen nuns? Like close up? Yeah, I have actually. Are you a Catholic schoolboy? No, I’m not. Okay. I just wonder what how would you get to see a nun? But you know, they have you noticed that nuns they don’t walk? You know, they glide in their habit and everything. And I just I used to think it was the Holy Spirit. Yeah, but looking back, it was just pure concentrated, like, I haven’t had sex since prom, you know,they’re going on yeah and and somehow i don’t know what, what did nuns do? I mean, they’re probably on like catholic dating apps, just like swiping right on Jesus. Like, Oh, you know, yes, for Jesus. And somehow they all got, yeah, they all got matched with the same guy actually. So they’re all married to Jesus. Seriously. Uh, they’re literally called the bride of Christ. Yeah. Yeah. So isn’t it weird? Like we, we call them sisters. We calling them Mrs. Jesus. Cause they’re all married to Christ. Yeah. So anyway, you know, when nuns die, they should be like, they’re probably waiting for their honeymoon finally, you know, to go on a honeymoon. But, uh, I don’t know how many people know this, but there’s no marriage in heaven, according to the Bible. But it just means that when they die, they’ll probably end up at the pearly gates with St. Peter going, I’m sorry, but there’s no sex in heaven. Please put your vaginas in the basket.Have you got one? Come on, don’t be shy. Now you know the secret. Now pretty much in heaven we’re all just Ken and Barbie dolls. Just nuns out there going, I stayed celibate to end up in eternity smooth. But anyway. Yeah, so that’s me. Catholic school girl. Lots of therapy. Anyway. Now, you really think that there’s no sex in heaven? Well, true. Just because there’s no marriage doesn’t mean… I mean, maybe it’s just all, you know, like some kind of crazy orgy up in heaven. Yes, actually. Yeah. Or maybe it’s just people… It’s like, you know… plastic sandpaper. Everybody’s just rubbing up against each other with their smoothness. What do you think? Yeah, rug burn. That’s right. I got some cloud burn going on because I’m up in heaven. Right. That’s interesting. So you spent four years at Catholic school. Now, I mean, the interesting thing as you talk about it is if it’skind of bad and good. It’s not like you’re angry about it. It’s kind of like you’re, you survived and you’re kind of, you know, it’s kind of quizzical to you, it seems like. Yeah, I’m not angry about it. I’m just like, I can’t believe, I can’t believe what they, they, what I went through. I can’t believe so So you’re saying basically you didn’t buy into all the rhetoric is what you’re telling me. Yes, pretty much. Yes. So what rhetoric would you, were the pieces that you, all the Catholics that I know, they always just take the pieces they like and then they leave the pieces they don’t like. So which pieces did you like? I liked the confessional booth. You know, you go in, there’s like a little peephole, you know, you can fly the door open. I mean, it just reminded me of like a 1920s speakeasy. Okay. Yeah. So I always… Just the physical nature of it? Or was it, do you like pouring your soul out to another person that you may or may not know? Oh, no, no, I didn’t. I would go in there when no one’s in the other little room. Yeah.Isn’t that kind of like, you know, it’s kind of weird because you could draw a comparison between the glory hole and confession. Yeah. And they’re also called a Judas hole. Oh, really? I’ve never heard that one. Explain. I must have had something to do with Judas. Okay. So basically you shouldn’t necessarily always trust who’s behind the door there, behind the other side? Yeah.
