The St. Clair Incident with Jeff Ponder
2d ago00:45:06Tap 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 tell you about the to...

LeMent Tonight for June 17, 2026
5d agoTap 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. Welcome. It’s LeMent Tonight. special guest is Grace Yao. And of course we’ve got Gary Lymes, the Flea Tones. Thank you, Gary. No, Gary, no. 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. They could turn on you and say, Grace, give me 10 Hail Marys and… Bloody Mary. Community servic...

I don’t know what’s going on. It’s the beginning of summertime. In the summertime when the weather is hot. Can we trot up and touch the sky when the weather is hot? Who sang that? Mongo Jerry. Mongo Jerry. Ah, my goodness. Yeah, so doing summertime activities. How about yourself? Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Oh, really? What did you do? Summertime activity. Mowed the grass? I stayed inside pretty much, and then I mowed the grass, yeah. You’re supposed to be the sweaty, fat neighbor. Oh, I am. I am. Okay, well, that’s good. Wish granted. Wish granted, yeah.Yeah, where the camera pans over and you’re, you know, the lawnmower’s smoking and then you’re waving at the camera. Yeah, that’s me. Yeah, you’re sweating profusely. You got like an old kitchen dish towel around your neck. Around my waist. Then that would be like what? A couple of different dozen towels? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think so. What’s weird is the neighbor’s constantly gardening. I’ll wake up at 6 to let the dogs out. I’ll look over. He’s out there. I’m like, Jesus. Really? Maybe he lives out there now. Maybe that’s where he is. I think his wife has banished him out to the garden. I know. He’s just constantly out there. Make some food for us. Does he ever give you any tomatoes or anything? He used to give me egg rolls. You don’t garden egg rolls, I don’t think.Thank you. do you pull them when they’re ready just kind of dig them up okay are you sure you’re not thinking of eggplant no he’s no this guy used to make egg rolls man do you think now that eggplant, since it’s a symbol for penis and texting that whenever people give other people an eggplant, they think it’s rude. I hope so, because my wife just bought her best friend an eggplant ceramic thing. Like when you’re cooking, you put your spoon somewhere to rest it. So it’s like a big penis spoon holder? Yeah. Oh, how interesting. Her friend loves penis. Well, I think that’s true. I was just wondering, yeah, if you’re just like, oh, I had some extra eggplants. You pervert. You know how you like eating free grapes in the supermarket? Well, that’s how she is with – Eggplants? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Get down on it. I was given an opportunity this weekend, and it was – all I can say is this opportunity was a total Miles title opportunity that I took full advantage of.You know, you sent me some vague pictures. I go, that son of a bitch. That son of a bitch got some nice freebie somewhere, and he’s going to rub it in my face. I think it was… Personally, it’s one of the nicer freebies that I’ve ever gotten. So I get… Because of the field that I am in, sometimes I am offered free tickets to things and free this and free that. And I just… I usually say no. I say no thanks. That’s okay. But this time I was offered something and it intrigued me. And so I’m like, well, wait a minute. The musical Stomp. That’s right. I got free tickets to Stomp. Yeah, right? It was Sesame Street Live, and I dressed up as Elmo. I cosplayed Elmo. Tickle me. That’s right. Tickle me, children.No, no, no. So they offered up tickets to go to the racetrack here in St. Louis, right? There’s a big racetrack here in St. Louis. There is? Yeah. I think it does NASCAR and IndyCar racing, right? So this is not like the low-end mini sprint midget things or whatever they used to do. This is like real racing. Is it right in the city, though, or is it like out in the suburbs somewhere? Well, I was almost going to be flippant and say it’s just like the bears out in the middle of nowhere. Oh, you son of a bear. Yes, it’s on the east side in the middle of nowhere. But I’ve always been curious. Not that I’m a racing person. I’m definitely not. This is definitely not one of the things that I would –pay money for, but I’m certainly going to take full advantage because number one, they not only offered me tickets, they offered me the box suite tickets where you go in the air conditioning and have free drinks and food. You’re a freaking jerk. And free VIP parking. Oh, you don’t deserve this. You don’t even deserve it. I asked my friend, Hefe, I said, Hefe, do you want to go to the races with me? Not Dr. J, right? No, no, Dr. J. No, Dr. J. This is my friend, Hefe. I’ve known him most of my life. And I said, I go, I got these box seats to the – these box tickets to the races. And I go, I’m probably going to have to talk to somebody, but –I mean, if this is the time you want to go see the races, this would be the time, right? And Jefe goes, I’ve never been. I’ll take you up on your freebie, my friend, right? Yeah, you know who also hasn’t been? Me. Yeah, me. Well, live a little closer, maybe. Jefe just lived real close. Yeah, I know. I’d get screwed again. Thanks. Yeah. Wait a minute. Should I go into the fact that Saturday I was going to meet you somewhere and you ditched me? For all those years, you bitched about me screwing you out of those Star Trek movie tickets. That’s true. The first remake of Star Trek, yes. Go ahead. I’m sorry. Go ahead. So you and Faye get up this beautiful freebie. Well, you wouldn’t meet me in the middle of nowhere…play pinball or something. So I figured there’s no way he’s going to come down here all the way down here to go to the race thing. Yeah, that’s true. So I’m like, all right, Jefe, come over and then we’ll run down to the racetrack. And so we did. So he’s like, yeah, I...

The Minotaur with Houston Pierce
3w ago01:02:06Tap to summarizeThe Minotaur In this episode of the Mondo Freako podcast, host Bob LeMent interviews movie reviewer and podcaster Houston Pierce, whose own show, A Thousand Crazy Questions, is currently on hiatus until the fall. The episode kicks off with a seven-question trivia quiz on the Minotaur from Greek mythology. To both of their surprises, Houston achieves a perfect score, correctly identifying details such as the Minotaur’s parents, its given name Asterion, Daedalus as the designer of the labyrinth, and the tragic mistake Theseus made with his ship’s sails upon returning to Athens. Following the quiz, the conversation shifts into a deeper discussion about the nature of Greek mythology, exploring whether ancient citizens viewed these tales as literal history and religion rather than fiction. Bob and Houston analyze the deeply flawed, human-like pettiness of the Greek gods, comparing their dramatic behavior to modern reality television. They also touch upon pop culture adaptations, contrasting the 1997 television movie The Odyssey and Ray Harryhausen’s classic 1981 Clash of the Titans with modern cinematic remakes. The episode wraps up with a humorous theory about the gods potentially being ancient aliens, alongside a playful critique of the structural plot holes in the classic Minotaur myth. 1000 Crazy Questions ItsHoustonPierce https://youtube.com/live/q17ysmrp7bo Labyrinth of the Minotaur Game (Click Graphic to Start) Transcript (AI transcription) Hey Houston, how clean is your desk? as a 13-year-old boy’s internet history. Uh-oh. Watch out. Everybody welcome to Mondo Free. Hondo Rico. That’s right. Thank you. Tonight I’ve got with me Mr. Houston Pierce with a thousand crazy questions. Hello? How are you doing tonight? I’m sorry. I didn’t hear me over the music, probably. Oh, I can hear you a little bit. I’m doing good. It’s just a little faint, but I’m doing good. Oh, okay. I can bump it up a little bit there. What do you think? It’s a little faint. I can hear you just a little bit. Oh, that’s weird. I wonder what the deal is there. I’m like my regular levels here. I’ll turn up my stuff. All right. It’s probably my stuff. I don’t know. Oh, okay. I’ll figure it out. We’ll figure it out. So welcome to Mondo Frico. I got Houston with me here. I can throw the name up there just for the heck of it. There you go. And Houston’s got a show called A Thousand Crazy Questions. What number are you up to now, Houston? I think…How many do I have? I think I was about to pass up 100 episodes, but I don’t. I forgot. Right now, my podcast is hibernating and sleeping. I’m probably going to wake it up this fall. So probably when Halloween season. You have to get up to that thousand. Turn it back on and have new guests. More questions. Oh, a thousand. I don’t know. The questions. I don’t know. I don’t know. I haven’t even tried to calculate that. I was thinking of episodes. That’s fine. Either way, you got to get to a thousand on something. Don’t you think? Yeah. Yeah. It’s just, you know, a thousand is just there to be like, you know, like a lot. I think I’ve said this before on, I think I was a guest on someone’s podcast, but I mentioned how the number of thousand actually came from. Remember that show, A Thousand Ways to Die? Uh-huh. Is it?Matt? No, not Matt TV. What was that one? Spike? I think it was Spike. Oh, on Spike. Yeah, I think you’re right. On the old Spike TV. And I saw that as like a kid. I was like, a thousand seems like such a big word. And I decided the word big number. And I just kind of like the way it sounded. A thousand ways to die. So I took it by the way. Oh, a thousand questions. There you go. And part of those could be ways to die as well. a lot of them actually are ways to die so yeah exactly well uh we’ll be watching for when you come back uh from hiatus yeah you’re working on some other stuff in the meantime, but definitely. Okay. You don’t want to talk about that, the other stuff no i i should thank you for watching that uh i have a different channel uh it’s houston pierce that’s literally the name. It’s like i t sHouston Pierce on IG, on Instagram. I post my humble two cents on movies and movie reviews, some movie essays. I also, if you look up Houston Pierce on YouTube, it’s the same handle. Houston, I think, underscore Pierce is the only difference for YouTube and Instagram. But Houston Pierce, that’s the name I’m going, that’s my name, so that’s where it is. On TikTok, on YouTube, and on IG. It’s Houston Pierce. What’s the last movie you saw? What did you talk about? The last movie I talked about was Passengers, but the last movie I saw just last night was He-Man, and I haven’t got a chance to review it yet. He-Man and Skeletor. Ah, Houston, we’re here. He-Man is in the way. That’s a pretty good Skeletor. Thank you very much, Houston. If you want me to do that for you, I’m just joking.If you want me to put that into your review somewhere, I’ll be happy to do that. I’m just joking with you. You did. This is a better skeletal voice than what I have. It sounds a little different. Everybody should check it out. Check it out. Well, do you want to – I’ll give you the choice here, Houston. Now, we talked briefly via some notes earlier. And I’ll give you the choice. Do you want to do the quiz first, or do you want to hear what tonight’s thing is? I think every time I’ve been on, I’ve asked for the quiz first. So I’m not going to stop doing that. Okay, here we go. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. Tell me if you can see that. You might not be able to read it, but can you see it? I can see it. I can see it. I don’t know how to make that bigger, honestly. But yeah, it’s kind of small there, isn’t it? But that’s okay. Let’s see. Can we do that? No, it doesn’t help at all, does it? Actually, the second part was a bit better. A little bit better.

Minotaur, Minotaur. I don’t know which one’s right. Well, here in the Midwest, we say Minotaur. Minotaur. It could be Minotaur. But yeah, and the Minotaur is… Greek mythology. The Minotaur is the horse man, I think. No, is that a centaur? No, the Minotaur is that bull. The Minotaur is the bull man. There you go. Who were the parents of the Minotaur? Was it A, King Minos and Queen Pasipha? B, Poseidon and Amphitrite? C, Zeus and Hera, or D, King Aegis and Medea? And I have a hint if you want it. This is the hardest quiz I’ve had yet so far, Bob.

LeMent Tonight for May 21, 2026
May 22Tap to summarizeThis Week On the latest episode of LeMent Tonight, host Bob LeMent sits down with Ted the Impressionist, an alt-comedy performer specializing in rapid-fire, absurdist impressions of animals, ghosts, and vegetables, such as a cat pretending to be a microwave and a squash with bad taste. Eschewing standard 2020s observational humor, Ted describes his act as clean, accessible, and designed to generate comic tension through sheer presentation rather than classic punchlines. Ted discusses the grind of breaking through the industry’s “chicken-and-egg” experience barrier, sharing how he continuously experiments with his act much like Thomas Edison or Shakespeare borrowing from his sources. The conversation takes several bizarre, comedic turns as Ted introduces his puppet sidekicks, Wally—a neutrino turned nutritionist—and Barney Bacteria, who chimes in with gut-health advice and poop jokes. Bob and Ted also chat about Ted’s side project, Bushmiller Remixed, a Facebook page dedicated to modifying old, “lame” Nancy and Sluggo comic strips with lyrics from the Ramones or Barnes & Barnes’ cult-classic song “Fish Heads.” The interview wraps up with a surreal advice segment where Ted hilariously suggests Bob resolve a neighborhood cat love triangle by equipping everyone in matching, color-coded Crocs and beekeeper suits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR3yuJJjtu0 Bad AI Transcript Okay. Ted’s ready. Here we go. Welcome to Wednesday. And with me tonight is Ted the Impressionist. And his little cats on the whiteboard. And it can do. As always with me is Gary Limes and the Flea Tones. And welcome to Metal Limits tonight, everybody. I’m Bob LeMets. Now, my guest here tonight is Ted the Impressionist. Now, Ted, believe it or not, an impressionist, always delivers what his mama told him. Whenever you meet new people, Always make good impressions. I think she said it just like that. And so his mission on stage compels Ted to perform fabulous impressions of dogs, cats, got to see that one, birds, chimps, ghosts, vegetables, chickens, and more. So many. It’s like getting hit on the head with a shovel. They all leave a deep impression on your mind. Ted has performed throughout the Northeast and in New York City nightclubs. He produces his own shows, Coop Comedy.bronco uh brad dang tootin good time show whoo that’s a mouthful. And Gonzo Gala. Hey, everybody. It’s Ted, the Impressionist. Welcome, Ted. Hello, Bob. How you doing? Nice to see you there shouldn’t I? Yeah, it’s great. I don’t smoke. It probably fits in your impressions right there. There you go. Yes, thank you but well it’s good to be here, Bob. So take it away. I’m sorry. Say that again. Take it away. Let’s get some impressioning going here. Oh, okay. Right. I’m sorry. That’s right. It’s my cue. Sorry about that, Bob. Okay. Well, thank you, Bob. And hello everyone for you. A lovely audience out there. Okay. So many people enjoy cat impressions. And so why not have some cat impressions? Okay, great. Here’s a cat.pretending to be a backhoe. Always good for cleaning the litter box. Thank you, Bob. I wrote that. Okay. Now here’s a cat as a microwave. Meow. Dinner’s ready. Okay. Now, here are cats racing at the Indianapolis 500. Well, except for the Kyle Busch cat. Okay. Now, here is some dog impressions for you. A hillbilly dog convinced his dead father talks to him through his foot. you say paw now here’s a dog as quality control inspector at the sandpaper factory rough i wrote that okay well and uh let’s see here’s uh hmm oh here’s a dog actor in a tarantino western slowly dying in a hail of bullets Tino wrote that. Well, that’s been a wonderful two minutes. I’m certainly glad to be here, Bob. Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much for inviting me here. Appreciate it. Oh, I don’t smoke. OK, so how about you? Thank you very much. And, you know, a little triggering. But other than that, it’s now where have I where have I seen you or met you before, Bob?Well, you probably see me here on lament tonight at the desk. Oh, well, i mean like at a comedy show, though, haven’t i seen? No, probably not i’m not i don’t live in new york apologies okay i live i live in the Midwest, and uh so yeah oh okay i haven’t performed with you or alongside you in a plausible show or a zoom mic anywhere? Oh, you might have seen me on the uh monthly comedy contest. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. Yeah. I usually show up for those. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Yeah. I haven’t done one in a while. Maybe that’s when it was. Yeah. You know what? It’s not about me. It’s about you. Huh? It’s not about me. It’s about you. We need to talk about you, Ted. Oh, well, no, I don’t want to be selfish. Like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It’s all about me. Blah, blah, blah, blah. What does Ted like? What does he like to eat? Where does he like to go swimming? All good questions. Tai Chi? No, you know, Bob, it’s a give and take conversation. You know, people want to know about, you know, what kind of guy you are. So, you know, we’re going to give and take. But I’m just curious because I wanted to know.Okay. So that’s, uh, you want to go back to me? Yeah, let’s go back to you now. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. Your, your bio says, you know, you, uh, started doing these impressions uh i’m guessing we talked about your mother. So I’m guessing it was when you were younger. Now, do you, you said cats, birds, chimps, ghosts, vegetables? Do you only do, uh, do you ever do inanimate objects or does it always have to be animal based? No, there are vegetable impressions that I’ve written as well. Oh, okay. Give me a demonstration, like cauliflower? Oh, would you like to see that? Oh, okay. Oh, okay, a demonstration. Okay, here’s, let’s see, a squash with bad taste. Hey, everyone, how do you like my checkered pants?Now, here’s a zucchini. Well, let’s see, a zucchini that has no moral values. Oh, I’m full of moral conundrums. I think all zucchini have no moral values, but that just may be. Well, that’s a good philosophical point. Right. Oh, here’s a green tomato. Hey, can someone tell me what I’m supposed to do? I haven’t been trained. Now here’s a fried green tomato. So, okay. So we’ve got vegetable, we’ve got animal vegetables. Do you do minerals? No, but that’s a very good one. Yeah, I should try that. You know, the whole animal, vegetable, mineral thing, because there’s a song on a Broadway show about that. Well, you know, granite and marble, you know, they don’t do anything. They just sit on the ground. You know, that’s kind of wacky to do a granite impression. It’s crazy. You know, it might be a good, you know,balance for things, you know, from the cats. I’ll certainly give that a try, Bob. Yeah. Oh, I don’t smoke. So have you done these things your whole life, these impressions this way? Or, I mean, when did this, you know, you’re like, you wake up one morning and you’re like, I want to do impressions that most people don&#...

I can’t imagine Simon Le Bon saying have a tater. He was from Idaho. People think that he’s British, but he’s really from Idaho. There’s all these subliminal potato lyrics that he put in. Who was the other guy? Nick Rhodes. Nick Rhodes was like, Simon, we can’t have all these potato references. Or Ida. cheese and potatoes simon laban single-handedly got uh mcdonald’s to only have idaho potatoes. Yeah. In the 80s, so. Before that, there was just any old farmer can sell mcdonald’s french fry potatoes, but nope. His boat capsized in the 80s because it was full of potatoes. Full of potatoes. He was smuggling potatoes into the Isle of Man. That really happened in his boat sink or something. You’re thinking of the Rio video where they’re in suits on a boat. No, no, for real. No, he was like in a boating thing. He didn’t get hurt. That’s no boating accident. In a boating accident, yes.I’ve heard you on the radio and I’ve seen you on the radio. I wouldn’t look it up, but I don’t. Smuggler’s eyes. Smuggler potatoes. I can’t something to do with gravy. I don’t know either. It’s kind of goofy tonight here, Miles. I just don’t know the words to these songs anymore. I can’t remember the words. I had a photographic memory from the 80s, but I lost it. Only on Sunday. Everybody just makes them up. It’s okay. You can just look every one of these up if you wanted to. I’m going to get some letter from our fan CB now. Hey, man. That wasn’t really cool. Blue Monday, blue day. Can you see things my way? So anyway, I went on a little trip. Take a little trip. Take a little trip. I had to go to San Antonio, Texas, everyone. Welcome to San Antonio.antonio texas hey he followed charlie prize advice and went down to san antonio exactly charlie good old charlie pride you think that was his real name? I don’t think he, he didn’t look like a charlie or a pride to be honest with me. You know, I didn’t know what his real name was, but we could look it up, but i’m not going to. Did you kiss an angel good morning? um So I’m in San Antonio, and my son tells me, if you’re going to be in San Antonio, you have to get some fajitas. I guess they’re famous for fajitas. I don’t know. Okay. And I’m like, well, I love fajitas. That sounds good to me. Right? And so I was with another person down there, and so she had to put up with me for a day or so. Yeah.she’s like, what do you want for dinner? And I’m like, well, I’ve been told that we’re in San Antonio, so we should go get some fajitas. And she’s like, all right, whatever. Whatever, I care, right? So we go down the river walk, which is very nice. If you’ve ever been to the river walk, it’s kind of like a weird oasis in the baked Texas landscape. And we just start walking along, and I mean, there’s all these places, right? And I’m like, she’s like, where are we gonna go i have no idea. I guess let’s just walk for a while and we see one. We’ll just go. So we found this place and i thought, well, this is, this looks like a good place to have some fajitas right looks nice. Nice place. Well, all these places uh in the river walk, because it’s, it’s a river, right? It’s a concrete river. Let’s be honest butBut it’s got the weirdest vibe because, you know, as a child of the, you know, 70s and 80s, the only time I really saw this kind of behavior was in sleazy movies from that time period. Oh, okay. Guys would stand on the street and try to get you to go into Times Square strip clubs. Well, they have all these people at all these restaurants. They’re not strip clubs. And they’re like, hey, come eat here, right? Telling you that you should eat at their establishment. Now, they’re not pushing or anything, but they’re saying, hey, come eat. I mean, every one of them has got a person standing outside inviting you in. It’s called a hype guy. Well, you probably were one at some point. Yeah, I was. I’m assuming. Under over bar. Yeah, I did that. Yeah, okay.So I’m like, well, hey, this guy, he seemed real nice. He’s like, yeah, come on up. We got, I got, you want patio? You want inside, outside, you know? And I know some Puerto Rican girls just down to me too. And so we sat on the patio. Was it Mick Jagger? No, it wasn’t Mick. I’m getting to that. I’m getting to that. All right. So we get seated on the patio in the shade, which was very nice. And it was very, very nice outside there. And we’re sitting there, and then I have this kind of slow realization as I’m looking around at all of the people working at this establishment. Yeah. And I’m like, holy shit, we’re being waited on by the cast of Con Air. Oh, yeah.Wow, harsh. Harsh. If you remember Nicolas Cage. Yes. Hey, get your hands off the falsena. party gets their own. And so we have these Joppa chips and salsas like Nick Cage. And then the waitress comes to take our order. Danny Trejo. But it’s a woman. So it’s this woman that looks like Danny Trejo. With a mustache. Yeah, with a faint mustache. Not quite as thick, right? Yeah. What do you want? Want specials? Anyway, I’m like, okay. She was very pleasant and a very good waitress, but I couldn’t get over the fact that she looked like she could have been a cast member. And then, of course, the bus boy. It was all tasty. It wasn’t like the I mean, to be honest, it was not the best fajitas I’ve ever had. And they were fine. And the lady I was with, she got some tacos or something. Anyway, it was all very, you know, good. It wasn’t fantastic and everything. And then Bashimi comes to bust the table. You guys done? Money penny or you’re done eating your tacos? Done. Yeah. Yeah.Moneypenny isn’t done yet. Go away. Yeah, no, it was just like weird because all these characters, you know what I mean? Yeah, right.
