[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

We have a guy that is, I mentioned earlier, internationally famous for a little something. It's the only talk show devoted to the artistry of the bass guitar. It's a little thing we like to call Bass talk. Wow. It's the bass talk show with Mark Christopher Rohrman on the bass. Marcus. How are you, sir?

[Comedian]

I'm great. How are you?

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Good.

[Comedian]

Well, this bass player, he was having trouble finding a gig.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

What a surprise.

[Comedian]

Yeah. So he decides to take a part time job in a funeral home.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Oh.

[Comedian]

He's working with the funeral director. And they're late one night and a local guy named Stanley Smith had just died and he's there on the table in front of him and they're just amazed at this guy's certain body part. Oh, it's incredible. It's astounding, actually. It's bigger than any porno stars you've ever seen.

[Greg Warren]

Wow.

[Comedian]

So between the two of them, they decide this has to be saved for posterity. So they remove the body part and they. Well, who would know, right? So they remove it and they stick it in this great big glass jar with formaldehyde. Well, the bass player decides he's going to take it home and show his wife. So he takes it home and he sets it on the table. He says, honey, come in here. You got to see this thing that I just brought back from the funeral home.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah.

[Comedian]

So she comes in and she takes one look at the jar and she goes, oh, my gosh. Stanley Smith is dead.

[Greg Warren]

There you go, ladies and gentlemen.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

You can see why people flock to the airwaves to hear the fabulous show.

[Christopher]

The Bob and Tom show is still trying to wake up. In the meantime, more Bob and Tom extra.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

There he is on the big screen. We can see him. He is comedian Greg Warren. And Greg's comedy special is about to come out. How far away are we from the release date, Greg?

[Greg Warren]

It's May 16th, so a week from Friday.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

All right. Do we have a title?

[Greg Warren]

It's called the Champ. All right.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

That's a good title. The Champ.

[Tom]

I like that. Are you big on that, Greg? Like, hey, champ. Hey, sport. Hey, buddy. Stuff like that.

[Greg Warren]

No. Yeah, My. My grandmother's boyfriend who was like, my grandfather, he used to say, commander. I like that one a lot.

[Tom]

Oh, I like. How about Governor? I like Governor, too.

[Greg Warren]

Governor's pretty good.

[Tom]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

How you doing, Commander?

[Christy]

Oh, that's great.

[Tom]

I like that.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Now it's called the Champ. Is a great hunk in there about your career as a wrestler and et cetera, et cetera. It's really funny, really great stuff.

[Greg Warren]

Thanks, Tom. I. I tell a story in there about taking a beating in one of my first matches at the University of Northern Iowa, and I was performing in Cedar Falls this past Saturday night, and that guy showed up.

[Josh]

Oh, really?

[Tom]

Are you talking about Steve?

[Greg Warren]

No, Steve. Steve's a different. Steve's the old guy that used to come in and beat me up.

[Christy]

Right.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

So what, the guy that whipped your ass all those years ago?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, if you want to put it like that.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

It's a little hard.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Sorry.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. Pat Hogan is his name. Yeah, Pat.

[Josh]

Was he friendly?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, he's real nice. Much nicer this time around.

[Tom]

Well, but think about it. I mean. Yeah, yeah, he beat your ass. Why would he be upset?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, well, again, I guess that's one way you could phrase it.

[Tom]

I mean, he totally, totally beat your ass is what.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, he did. Check. He did.

[Tom]

Yeah, he did.

[Greg Warren]

They did.

[Tom]

They did. They're good kids. Yeah. Okay.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Does he know that? You've been talking about this debacle for years.

[Greg Warren]

I think somewhere somebody heard it and his whole family came, like plenty of men.

[Christy]

Oh, my sons, like. See, that's the kids.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah.

[Tom]

My dad beat Greg's ass. Look at him. Okay.

[Greg Warren]

I gotta tell you, he still looks good too, man. Yeah, yeah, he was, he was a senior when I was a freshman. He's older than me. He looks much better than I could.

[Josh]

He still beat your ass?

[Greg Warren]

Well, you know, we didn't wrestle, Christy.

[Tom]

But I think there's only one way.

[Greg Warren]

To say I, I got better. I was a freshman back then. I got better.

[Christy]

Spoken like a guy who could still get his ass beat.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

This is great, though. I mean, that's so cool.

[Christy]

Yeah, that is.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Tom]

I don't know if I'd want to watch Senior Tour wrestling. I don't know. You, the Champions Tour, whatever they'd call it.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, I don't think it would be a good idea.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Greg, I'm, I'm looking at the big screen. What is on your hat?

[Josh]

Looks like a pig.

[Greg Warren]

I think it's a cow, Christy.

[Josh]

A cow?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, I just, I just bought it this weekend. I think it's a cow with Mo on it. Yeah, Missouri, I think. Oh, oh, Missouri beef.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

I thought, I thought it was like.

[Josh]

It's a lazy cow that can't say moo.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah, I thought it was a cow that was, you know, not all that bright.

[Greg Warren]

You mentioned it, maybe that is y. Yeah. In Missouri.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

One O short of getting a full moon.

[Tom]

Yeah, I heard we're going to the stock here, Mo.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah, but that is a cow though, not a pig.

[Josh]

That is, I guess it is.

[Greg Warren]

I'm pretty sure it's a cow.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah, I guess the legs are so long it wouldn't be a pig. We're speaking with comedian Greg Warren. Greg is a great stand up comedian and his new special called the Champ and where's it going to? Where's it going to emerge? What ether will it be coming out of?

[Greg Warren]

It's on the Nate Land YouTube channel, like my previous one. It's Nate Bargazzi's new to YouTube channel. Sorry.

[Christy]

Great. Can't wait.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Looking forward to it.

[Greg Warren]

Excited about it.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah. Once again, I saw the Greg just before he taped it and it was a terrific show.

[Christy]

Yeah, I think most of us did.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Now, do we have a topic for today's program?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, guys, an important topic. I wanted to talk about the history of monster trucks.

[Christy]

Oh, are you a fan?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I, I, I'm learning more about Them? I didn't know what they were when I was a kid. I thought they were like trucks, like semi trucks.

[Christy]

Oh.

[Greg Warren]

And I thought they were just in these things during the weekend and during the week they actually transported materials like other trucks.

[Christy]

Oh, I see.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy]

Now, Greg, you and I, we were lucky enough to grow up in the St. Louis area where there was always a Bigfoot on display off of Highway 70. Did you ever see that thing?

[Greg Warren]

Oh, yeah, right. Right up there in Lindbergh in 70. Yeah. Interestingly enough, Josh, that's who started monster trucks. Bigfoot.

[Christy]

Oh, okay. You guys familiar with the monster truck Bigfoot?

[Tom]

Absolutely.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. Bob Chandler had a. An aftermarket market auto parts store in St. Louis. And to promote his store, he. He put 48 inch wheels on a Ford 250 pickup truck and larger axles, and he drove it around town. He was a guy that tended to speed, so his. His buddy Jim Cramer called him Bigfoot and he painted Bigfoot on the side of the truck and people started to notice. Yeah, yeah. He was offered $50,000 for that truck. That's 180,000 in today's dollars. It appeared in magazines. Bigfoot was in the movie Take this Job and Shove It. Yes.

[Tom]

Yeah, he was.

[Christy]

And I used to watch that on hbo.

[Greg Warren]

Chick. Who. Who started Take this Job and Shove It?

[Tom]

I don't know. I want to say Terry Bradshaw, but I don't.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Who did the song Johnny Paycheck?

[Greg Warren]

That was Johnny Page.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy]

I want to say Art Carney was in it.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Who was in it?

[Christy]

Art Carney.

[Greg Warren]

Art Carney.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Whoa. Robert Hayes.

[Tom]

Oh, okay.

[Greg Warren]

And Barbara Hershey.

[Tom]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy]

Oh, a young Barbara Hershey.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Robert Hayes of. Of airplane fame.

[Greg Warren]

Yes.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Barbara Hershey, who changed her name to Barbara Seagull.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Greg Warren]

I didn't know that.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Oh, yeah. And then, yeah. Quite the hippie.

[Tom]

Hippie girl.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah. We had a chance to interview her and they said, do not bring up the fact that she changed her name. She's now Barbara Hershey again. They were very pissy about it. But yeah, Big Bigfoot. We got in trouble for a tribute that we did called Big Peter. Yeah, yeah. Big Peter would mount and enter Revolvo.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, I see. Yeah.

[Christy]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

It wasn't a big. Was it a Bigfoot? You see, it was a big beater. Right, yeah. Okay. Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

So he was doing well Bigfoot, and he started going to these tractor poles and was kind of a sideshow and was towing stuff. And one day Bob was watching Wide World of sports. And he got the idea that he could drive his truck over cars. So he got a couple of cars from the junkyard and ran over him and had his buddy film it. And this tape went around and people really enjoyed it. A year later, he was at the Silver Dome. 1982. They sold it out to see Bigfoot run over cars.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah, they did.

[Greg Warren]

Now, guys, I told you he had 48 inch wheels, right? Not at the Silver Dome. He broke out. He broke out 66s.

[Tom]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh]

That's taller than me.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, he got the. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Christy. He got him from a fertilizer spreader. I hope it was his fertilizer spreader.

[Christy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh]

You see a fertilizer spreader jacked up in a field somewhere.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Some farmer walking on blocks.

[Christopher]

A farmer walking.

[Greg Warren]

What the hell? Some. Some farmers watching the Silver Dome event and be like, margaret, I think I know what happened to that. Chandler said, I really never had the thought to build a monster truck. I had a stock Ford F250 pickup truck and kept putting bigger and bigger tires on it, and I broke the axles. So I put bigger axles under the truck. Then I didn't have enough power, so I put a bigger engine in the truck. No, I think it sounded like you wanted to build a monster.

[Josh]

Yeah, exactly what it sounds like.

[Greg Warren]

They had a big race between Bigfoot and USA1. USA1. Seems to me like it might have been the second monster truck, and it was on the show. That's incredible.

[Christy]

I love that. Yeah, yeah, sure.

[Greg Warren]

Christy, who hosted that?

[Josh]

That's incredible.

[Tom]

John Davidson, Fran Tarkington, and Kathy Lee Crosby.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

No.

[Greg Warren]

Yes.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Was it Kathy Lee?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, no, Kathy Lee Crosby, Olympic gymnast, I believe is. Oh, what was Kathy.

[Tom]

Was it Cross. It was Crosby, right?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not Gifford.

[Tom]

Right. Kathy Lee.

[Greg Warren]

Wasn't there a Kathy Rigby?

[Josh]

Yeah, that was a gymnast.

[Tom]

Yeah, that was.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. Crosby was the. A very good tennis player, I believe. And bigfoot. Bigfoot beat USA1 in that race, guys. Yeah. That's incredible. Not to be. That was a successful show. Yes, very successful. That's inedible. Not a good show.

[Tom]

No.

[Josh]

Oh, you've been to my house on Sunday night dinner, huh?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, I think it was. I think that was Fran Drescher.

[Christy]

Yeah. Oh, it's a shoe.

[Tom]

Bobby Fleckman.

[Christopher]

You know.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

You know, we are speaking with comedian Greg Warren now. Bigfoot. So that was technically the sort of the first monster truck. Now there are dozens of them.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, there's dozens. So what they started doing, Tom, they were like the sideshows these big trucks at, like, tractor poles. Then they became the main event, and they would have these. They would have, like, these races, and they would be, like brackets, you know, so you'd get eliminated in the first round, and these trucks were still hanging around. And in between rounds, they didn't want to go home. They would go out and they would just sort of like, screwing around out there doing tricks, and those things got popular. One of the first guys to do that was a fellow named Dennis Anderson. His truck was Grave Digger.

[Christy]

Very popular.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Grave Digger is a. Is a big time truck. As a matter of fact, guys, as long as we're talking about it, we're right at the end of the. The Monster Jam season, and I thought I'd give you the standings.

[Christy]

Yes, please.

[Greg Warren]

Zombie is in first place.

[Christy]

Wow.

[Greg Warren]

Gravedigger is in second place. Now, guys, this. There's been like 30 gravediggers. It's like the Dread Pirate Roberts, like.

[Christy]

Ah, yes. It's sort of the Shamu of monster.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. Yes. Yes. Classroom Crusher is in third place.

[Tom]

Really?

[Christy]

Classroom?

[Greg Warren]

Never heard of that one. Classroom Crusher. And then in fourth place right now, El Toro Loco. Josh, could you translate that for me?

[Christy]

Yes. It means the bearded unicorn. No, no, it's the crazy bull.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Of course.

[Greg Warren]

The crazy bowl.

[Tom]

El Toro Loco.

[Christy]

I'd like to think Classroom Crusher is a monster bus.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, I don't think it is. You know, and there's 12. 12 contestants that are in the series. And I hate to say this because you don't like to pick on people, but it's a rough year for Megalodon. He's. He's. He's in 12th place, right?

[Christy]

Oh, no.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

And. And Big. Bigfoot's no longer in the mix. Right.

[Greg Warren]

Bigfoot had some. They parted ways in the late 90s.

[Josh]

Oh, they retired him or.

[Greg Warren]

I. I think there was, like, there was. He sort of withdrew. I think there was some legal battles.

[Christy]

He still shows up at conventions and stuff. You can get his autograph.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

I have actually hosted one of these things.

[Josh]

Yeah, so have I. I. I did.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Oh, they're great. I was down on the floor when they were. You do the announcement in the beginning. You're down there, and you did the announcement.

[Josh]

Yeah, I got to ride in one. We. Were you there for that one, too?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Wrote in it. Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Amazing.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

I had a. I had an old car crushed by Bigfoot.

[Josh]

Yep.

[Tom]

At. At a state fair event. Bigfoot was there.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah. But I mean, did they ask you.

[Greg Warren]

To do that chick? Yeah, yeah. They.

[Tom]

They they bought the car, and, boy, I needed it at the time they bought the car.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

That was the Renault alliance.

[Tom]

Yeah. I got to go out and knock the windows out before Bigfoot crushed it. And there you go.

[Christy]

Awesome.

[Greg Warren]

I mean, I'm, I'm. I've always been enjoyed, you guys, but I don't think I've ever been more impressed.

[Tom]

Yeah, it was something else.

[Greg Warren]

Tom, Tom, could you give me a Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.

[Christy]

Not bad at all. Really not bad.

[Tom]

Big Peter was a.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

A.

[Tom]

Big Peter is gigantic.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

He will crush it at a revolvo.

[Greg Warren]

Forget it, Bigfoot.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Oh, it was the best I. I even have at my house. I've got the miniature gravedigger, which. It's an electronic.

[Josh]

Oh, you mean a remote control.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yeah, remote control.

[Christy]

It's grave Greg. I can do it. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and cherry on. That's. No, that's not the right chick.

[Greg Warren]

Can I get a. Come see the big boys and their big toys.

[Tom]

Come see the big boys and their big, big, big, big, big toys.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

It's massive mayhem with Megalodon.

[Greg Warren]

Megalodon. The Mayhem is a year he's in 12th place.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

And those things. Do they have any resemblance even to a truck anymore or any. Isn't. Isn't every. It's. They're all.

[Christy]

There's one that looks like a dinosaur.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

But, I mean, they're. The frames aren't even. They're just.

[Greg Warren]

They're custom made.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

They're completely custom.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, they're. They. They're custom made. So they're not like, adapted with parts.

[Christy]

They're no stock monster trucks.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

But I'll tell you this. I can remember the first time I went to one. I was. I was walking in. It was the dome, which seats whatever, 60,000 plus. And as I was walking in, a lot of people were walking the other way. And I'm thinking, oh, geez, they must have canceled the event. And. No, no, it was so sold out that they were turning people away.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

And it was. It was incredibly noisy. And I remember buying. What do you call, like those airport headsets for the kids? The ones that are noise canceling? Yeah. Just to get the sound. And then after about the first half hour, you're breathing some really heavy toxic fumes.

[Greg Warren]

I bet you those redneck blue collar kids were making fun of your kids with those. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. It was Little Lord Fogler.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

These are called Topsiders. You read that? No, it was. We had a great time. It was terrific. And a lot of. A lot of people that came were driving pickup trucks with very large wheels, of course.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, yeah, yeah. This is a quote I enjoyed. It said, when you talk about 60,000 people in a stadium, you can't have that many rednecks in one market. Yeah, you can.

[Tom]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Greg Warren]

I play a lot of those markets. You can.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

I'm telling you, they're really entertaining.

[Josh]

They are entertaining.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Highly recommend.

[Greg Warren]

I'm going. I've never been doing this stuff. I gotta go.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Oh, when you see them fly over, I remember one of them, they brought out a. A. An rv.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

They kind of pretended it was like a mobile home for somebody, and then they crushed it and the crowd went nuts. No one wants to live in this trailer. Boom.

[Tom]

It was like a big. Went through someone's kitchen. It was crash.

[Christy]

That mansion.

[Tom]

Yep.

[Greg Warren]

They're not crushing stuff anymore, though, I think. They're not crushing car. Yeah, they're. What?

[Josh]

Oh, come on.

[Christy]

What are they doing?

[Josh]

Guys jumping over big hills and stuff.

[Christy]

I see. I'll go with you, Greg. I've never been either. Greg, in your. In your research, did you find out, is it true that they will sell you the whole seat, but you only need the edge?

[Mark Christopher Rohrman]

Yes.

[Christy]

Is that a rumor?

[Tom]

Okay, let me tell you something. Whoever came up with that originally. Yeah. Should be, like, in some hall of fame.

[Christy]

I agree.

[Tom]
