B
I wish I'd worn long pants because I just know what this is. I got, you know, I got. I, I always, I always talk belly and balls. That's what that. I was on TV for so long because they put the skinny guy behind a desk and I had to sit there with no protection and just get to showcase the belly.

Ah, Andy Richter callin show on SiriusXM on Wednesday's Channel 104. And then the podcast the Three Questions, which is wherever you get your podcasts. I've been doing that for a number of years. It's an interview podcast, sort of like your other one. And, and that's about it. You know, Clawson Pickles, they're really good.
- [01:15]
A
I start this episodes always by asking people if they ever sat in this old school wagon.
- [01:22]
B
Rear facing station wagon. Yes, I. We had a few of them.
- [01:29]
A
You own.
- [01:30]
B
Yeah, yeah. The first one was, and this is early on when my mother, my mother remarried and our new stepfather had. And he had just bought it a Pontiac station wagon. A red Pontiac station wagon with a rear facing seat. And he, it was a used car, but he, and he had like I say he had just bought it and they went on kind of like a little honeymoon to a state park in Illinois and brought my brother and me because it was really, you know, they had their own room but their own cabin. But my brother and I on the drive to Starved Rock State park looked.
- [02:13]
A
Like one of these.
- [02:14]
B
Yeah, it was that. It was, it was earlier than that, but that's it basically. And fire.
- [02:20]
A
Fire Thorn Red.
- [02:22]
B
It's a good looking car though. I would love to have that car. But wait, my brother and I were. There was all kinds of in the cracks of the seat, like kids toys and stuff like that. The previous family.
- [02:37]
A
Oh, from the other. Yeah, from the previous family that he.
- [02:40]
B
Didn'T know anything about. And money and so like the whole drive we were just. And then we'd like hop over to get into the other seats and to empty those out. And then we had an Oldsmobile, a big old Oldsmobile I want to say it was called a custom cruiser. I. I don't remember, but it. It was blue with wood sides. It had an electric tailgate. Like, that went down in. Yeah, it would. Well, the glass would go down and then it would go down into the. Into the body of the car.
- [03:13]
A
Really?
- [03:13]
B
Yeah, it, like, it was, you know, it was like a pocket door. Yeah, but into the car. So it was like a flat back. And I. My mom would drive there. That one right there.
- [03:25]
A
Go ahead, get up there. Andy Richter.
- [03:27]
B
That one right.
- [03:28]
A
Boom.
- [03:29]
B
Oh, my God, that's it.
- [03:31]
A
We had relatives that had that too. I didn't know the glass did that.
- [03:35]
B
Yeah, yeah, the glass would go down and then that goes into the bottom of the car, which has got to be like. That car had to weigh 6,000 pounds because, you know, like, just for the structure of a white. Oh, what are you seeing? Is it that you don't like things?
- [03:53]
A
Oh, it's the children in the back.
- [03:55]
B
Yeah.
- [03:55]
A
Wait, so the door does what now, too?
- [03:57]
B
It goes down into the body of the car.
- [04:01]
A
It, like, sort of slides under.
- [04:02]
B
Yeah, it's like. It doesn't flip down. It goes, you know, it recedes into the body. So then you got a flat back with no overhang. But in order to, like, support that, there has to be.
- [04:15]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [04:16]
B
Like such a beefed up chassis back there to hold a door underneath it. But I was deliver. I. I delivered the Aurora Beacon News. That was like the Daily News.
- [04:30]
A
So you had a paper route?
- [04:31]
B
I had a paper route.
- [04:32]
A
Were you at the time?
- [04:33]
B
I was probably 12.
- [04:35]
A
Your first, like, working thing.
- [04:37]
B
Yeah, yeah. And then. And. But I also delivered the Kendall County Shopper.
- [04:43]
A
You got two papers, which.
- [04:44]
B
I had two paper routes. And the Kendall County Shopper was like one of those Penny Saver kind of papers that would come out once a week, but it was like 400 of them. Like the. My regular paper, it was like maybe 40.
- [05:00]
A
And do you have the white bag sling over you? Is that what you're doing?
- [05:03]
B
Yeah, yeah. Not for the candle count, because the. The. The shopper paper was. It was. There were too many of them. You couldn't carry them. So it kind of. I mean, it's like one of those things where it's like, I got a paper out and my mom had to drive me virtually every time. And it was on the other side of town, too. And I had a friend with me, or maybe it was just my brother and one of his friends, but we were doing it together, and I. We had all the papers in the Back and the, the tailgate, you know, down and we were jumping out of the back of the car and like sitting with our legs hanging over the back.
- [05:42]
A

- [06:47]
B
Into a driveway that was on like a little rise and I went up and threw the paper and then I sat back down and I laid back down with my legs dangling down. But because she was backing off of a grade, my foot got caught in like a pothole or something and it snapped my foot back. No. Yeah. And I, and she like basically back, you know, backed over my, she didn't run over my leg, but she backed up and my, my foot, you know, like I could feel it like snap back and snap forward, hyperextend. And it was broken. I had a broken leg and I, I hopped up and like I hopped up and ran to the front of the car and I went, I think it's broken. I think it's broken. I think it's broken. But I did walk to the front of the car myself. We finished the papers and. But by the time I got home, I couldn't walk on it. I had to be like, I had to be like helped into the house.
- [07:45]
A
Did you have any other jobs? High school jobs?
- [07:48]
B
Yeah, I, I did.
- [07:51]
A
Oh.
- [07:51]
B
Oh yeah.
- [07:51]
A
This is the window going up.
- [07:53]
B
This is how it. Yeah. Clamshell wagon tail.
- [07:56]
A
Look at that. Yeah, that's bad. I want that. Now Now I want that. What is that? An Oldsmobile custom cruiser?
- [08:04]
B
Yeah. I'm surprised I still remember the name. But yeah, it was a custom cruiser.
- [08:08]
A
I mean, I guess it looks like.
- [08:09]
B
It says it's the 70s.
- [08:11]
A
So I guess if that door don't work, it just becomes like a pickup.
- [08:13]
B
It was, it really was. And I think it too was designed so that it could carry like a 4 by 8 of plywood. Like it was meant to also be like a work vehicle too. But I had, Yeah, I had, I had the paper routes. High school, I worked with. I worked with my, my stepfather plumbing business. And then through that plumbing business, my, My mother started a cabinet business and I worked for both of them, which really sucks in the summer because I work for my mom, you know, throughout I, I actually went and got a, a job at the grocery store so I wouldn't have to work for my mother. So I was like, I'm sorry, I'm getting another job. Because there's nothing, it's like in, especially on a Saturday or in the summertime to work for your parent who's a, you know, who has, who's a yeller anyway. And then you come home and it's like, mow the yard. Yeah, like I. Oh, you know, I distinctly remember there being like there was something I was going to go to and it was like, you can't go until you mow the. After working for all day. And then like, no, you got to mow the lawn before you leave. And we had a big fucking lawn. So.
- [09:27]
A
Riding mower?
- [09:28]
B
No, it was a push mower at that point. We had a riding mower that died and we didn't. We never replaced it because we couldn't afford to. So.
- [09:36]
A
Do you remember the address of the house?
- [09:39]
B
1201 Game Farm Road. And the game farm is named because my grandpa. That's the house. That's the house my great grandfather built.
- [09:50]
A
It's the one he built.
- [09:51]
B
Yeah.
- [09:51]
A
Yeah, your great grandfather built.
- [09:53]
B
Yeah. But you see how it like there's a sort of a wing that goes off to the right. That's what my mom and stepdad added on. Okay.
- [10:01]
A
So from that like front door to the right, isn't it the two story.
- [10:04]
B
Where there's two windows above each other to the left. That was the original house.
- [10:08]
A
Wow. And then it is a big yard. You push mowing that thing, dude.
- [10:14]
B
In the summer.
- [10:15]
A
Oh, man.
- [10:16]
B
Holy.
- [10:17]
A
That's a big lot we had.
- [10:18]
B
We were on. I think, I think it. And it goes down too. It goes way back in the Into a pond. There's a pond that my grandfather had built. And. Wow, that's weird. And I don't know if the pond is still there. There was.
- [10:34]
A
He built the pond.
- [10:35]
B
He dug a pond, and he had it stocked with trout. He did, yeah. Yeah, man. But that was like, before my time because then my uncle's sons thought they were doing him a favor by catching bluegill and putting them into the pond, which then they just choked out the trout. So there was bluegill and frogs down there, and I used to go down and catch frogs. But there's. My grandpa was the director of conservation of the state of Illinois, and we had over like 40 varieties of trees in that place. And there was a fruit orchard. Yeah. In that yard. And then lots of flowers. I mean, I was starting to say the reason it was Game Farm Road is because my grandfather, who I said was my grandfather, got involved in politics kind of out just like a. Just like. Just. Cause he was a nice guy. And he took a train trip. And on this train trip, my grandpa just. He. They. He was. He and his father, they didn't. They had a farm, but they mostly just raised prize hogs and prize chickens. Like. Like. I can't remember the name of them, but there was, like. Was a particular kind of hog, like Poland something hog, and chickens. And they would show them, and our attic was full of big silver loving cups for like, the best. Winning the best Poland hog or. And he was on a train trip taking chickens down to southern Illinois to go to some competition. And he sat next to a guy who was in politics. And by the end of the train trip, he was the guy's campaign manager. And that. That guy became the governor of Illinois. Get the fuck out of like 10 or 20 years later.
- [12:28]
A
Holy shit.
- [12:28]
B
Yeah. Yeah. So my grandpa was in the governor's cabinet. He ran his campaign, and he was like, what do you want to do, Glenn? And my. You know, my dad or my grandpa was like, well, conservation, because that's hunting and fishing. And he just basically hunted and fished. You know, that's kind of on the government. Yeah. And he gave a piece of the family's land to the state to start a game farm, which was like a little zoo. There was a little zoo there when I was a little kid. But mostly what they did was raised pheasants to be released into different game preserves to be hunted. You know, like the same way that you would stock some place with fish, you would stock them with pheasants. So we had.
- [13:13]
A
I didn't know they were stocking them. Yeah, like that.
- [13:15]
B
Hundreds. Hundreds and hundreds of pheasants down the road and that.
- [13:19]
A
What My uncles would. I had an uncle that would hunt pheasant. They were mounted on the wall. I don't know. It's not. It's not a peacock.
- [13:27]
B
No, it's not. Like, well, you can eat them. They're like, yes, you can eat them.
- [13:31]
A
But they don't get display.
- [13:32]
B
They're not. Yeah.
- [13:33]
A
No, like, is that a crow?
- [13:35]
B
Like, yeah, what a brave man. You shot a bird, but it's not.
- [13:40]
A
And then you're mounting it. Like it's this gorgeous thing. It's. It's pretty.
- [13:44]
B
Yeah. No. Yeah, they're beautiful birds.
- [13:46]
A
But I'm a wall.
- [13:48]
B
The females are not. They're sort of, you know, like is a lot of birds. The females are like more sort of plain. So they can hide. Yeah, they're more camouflageable, but. So that's why it's Game Farm Road. And my grandpa was the director of conservation in the state for two terms. And that's why my family, my mother and her sisters went to school in Springfield, Illinois, because that was the state capital.
- [14:16]
A
Okay.
- [14:17]
B
And they lived there while my grandpa was. Was in the governor's cabinet. Oh, and another summer job because my. My grandpa was the chairman of the. Of Kendall County's Republican Party for 29 years. And he was a very nice man and everybody loved him. And he had an. He also sold insurance and real estate, but not real. He didn't try real hard, you know, and more often than not, like, my grandma would go to his office in downtown Yorkville. He had to write it down. In downtown Yorkville is like two blocks of old storefronts down by the river. And she go into my grandpa's office and more often than not, there was him and a bunch of other old men playing cards like it on a Wednesday at like 3pm and drinking whiskey out of coffee cups.

- [16:20]
B
H lp.comwayback and, and that was just kind of. He hung out, that's what he did. But he also was powerful. Like he could get people's, he could get jobs done. And he was, you know, was a benevolent kind of power. Although it, like I say, there was a, a game farm down the street and we had this beautiful yard and this, that I, we would sit. Sometimes I'd be sitting at the breakfast table and there'd be people walking around looking at our yard like it was an arboretum or something. Like just. It was not unusual for people to just stroll around our yard checking your trees because it was so, it was so pretty. And then like a lot, like I say, a lot of flowers and then fruit trees. But there was a guy named Herbie Markelline who worked at the game farm, but he worked at the game farm until lunchtime. And after lunch he worked on our yard five days a week, worked on our yard, which I just never processed until later. Like, oh, that's graft. My grandpa was getting his yard made beautiful by this on the state of Illinois's dime.
- [17:33]
A
Yeah.
- [17:33]
B
And we used to have. Because if you go back and he's.
- [17:36]
A
Hunting and fishing and he's hunting and.
- [17:37]
B
Fishing all he wants. And we had a big long.
- [17:40]
A
He figured it, the fish out.
- [17:42]
B
We had like a farm driveway. Like a driveway that went in and then kind of like a big open area where tractors and stuff would park that would. Every year or every couple of years, a state road crew would come in and blacktop that. It would take them 15 minutes with one of those big, you know. Yeah, you can see the driveway there. Oh yeah, yeah. They would come in and blacktop that. And I just thought that's what everyone got. Like, it was like, no, nobody gets state of Illinois, you know, asphalt trucks to come in and a whole crew to come in and like roll it out and you know, in 15 minutes. So. But that, you know, that was those times. But my grandpa also, he got my brother a job at the game farm. And my brother said that he used to have. They used to have. Around the big pheasant pen. They used to have like in. They would get every vehicle, like from like a riding lawnmower to a tractor to a backhoe and have races around. Around the pheasant pen. And I got a job. I got a job at a state park through my grandpa. Then I did that a couple summers called Silver Springs, which was just a real pretty park that was down by the river. And I, you know, I used to work there and paint out houses and pick up trash and, and feed the fish. There was like fish that, you know, we'd go out in the outboard motor every morning and feed the fish and. And it was actually like, it kind of made me. It was a moment where I was like, if I don't do. If I don't like, find something that I want to do with myself, something kind of grown up and career wise, like I could do this, like I could just kind of basically do yard work, you know, like do yard work in a pretty place.
- [19:38]
A
I tell you, these days I think about it all the time. I would love to have a yard and I just have a ride mower.
- [19:43]
B
Yeah.
- [19:43]
A
Saturday or whatever. Just go out and cut the grass.
- [19:45]
B
Yeah. It's not.
- [19:46]
A
Be bothered.
- [19:47]
B
It's not bad.
- [19:48]
A
I mean, therapy out there.
- [19:50]
B
And I. That was such a great lesson. Like one of the first days that I worked there because I, I did have, I do have like a real work ethic in me and that when you like, like to. To do a good job like, and, and to. And to like, it matters to me that I make my boss happy. And the first day that I went to work, I was painting an outhouse, a new outhouse that was like. It was like cinder block up to about, you know, six feet. And then from there it was all timber. It was like a timber roof and all kind of rough timbers on the inside and it above the top. So like there was airflow. But I was just painting the timber in the inside. And it's really rough lumber and it's just with one brush. And I got the inside. Like, I didn't finish. You know, I painted it all day, went back for lunch, came back and painted again. And when the ranger came to pick me up at the end of the day, I was like, I. I'm sorry I didn't finish the outhouse. And he went well, there's always tomorrow. And I was like, oh, he was. He laughed at me. He's like, I don't give a shit.
- [21:01]
A
He's like.
- [21:02]
B
He's like, if it takes three days, it takes three days. You know? So I was. That was always like, oh, this is. And that was just. There was not. It was a very low pressure existence. And I was like, oh, this, this could. I could do this, you know.
- [21:17]
A
Tell me about vacations growing up. Are you taking them? Are you flying? Are you driving? Or what are you guys?
- [21:24]
B
Both, some. It depended. Like, I. We talked earlier about my Aunt Pat, my mom's older sister, and she was the adventurous one. She was the one that would go live in different places and get. She. She was married five times to four different men. She. One. One of. Yeah, one of them. She gave another. Gave him another shot and it fell apart again. But she lived. She lived all over. She lived. I mean, she lived. She started out, she moved to Chicago. She was like the only person in the family that moved into the big city.
- [21:57]
A
I was going to say, it's the big city.
- [21:59]
B
Yeah. And then. And then she lived in Florida for a while. She lived in Atlanta for a while. She lived in Dallas for a while. She lived in San Francisco for a while, man. Yeah. And. And we would go visit her. That was a lot of our. Our, Our trips. And I want to say we did drive to Atlanta once, but we also flew to Atlanta because I. And that was, I think, my first time on an airplane. And I was probably about. I wanna. I bet you I was 9 or 10. Because I think my. No, no, it was before my little brother and sister, because they're nine years younger than me, my half brother and sister. And we were flying on the night of 4th of July and you could see the fireworks all over the place. And it was. And it was just something, you know, I'll always have that because you could just, you know, you could. Looking out of the window of the plane as we're coming into Georgia, you could see like literally 20 fireworks displays going off at once. And. And we went to. We didn't do. We didn't do sort of like the big ones until, like, I was. I think I was a teenager when we, like, went to Disney World. Although that's not true. We did.
- [23:16]
A
Who you going with? Mom.
- [23:17]
B
That was my mom and my older brother and my younger brother and sister. But this must have been after she split up with my stepfather, because he wasn't there. But we also did when my brother. When my Brother and sister were little. We did one really cool trip. We. We got on the train in Joliet, Illinois, and we took it out to San Francisco.
- [23:39]
A
Oh, wow.
- [23:39]
B
Yeah. Actually Oakland. And then took a bus into San Francisco, which is how you do. To see Aunt Pat when she lived there. And she lived. She lived in a. And a. She had a. That was the husband. She married twice, and he made a lot of money. She had a beautiful apartment that you could see the Golden Gate Bridge here and Alcatraz here. And it was, like, on the top of a hill. And you also had a view into, like, 15 different apartments. And my brother and I, little perverts. Stayed up watching all, like, practically the entire night and saw so much nudity. Did you saw.
- [24:22]
A
Did you.
- [24:22]
B
Yes, it was fantastic. And my aunt and uncle. My aunt and uncle, too, had, like, binoculars and. Yeah, yeah, they were.
- [24:31]
A
I was like, they're.
- [24:32]
B
They're. This is not. There's no coincidence. There's binoculars here. But, yeah, we saw, like. There was a. There was, like, right across the way, there was, like, a little penthouse built on top of one of the buildings. And there was a really tall man and a very short Asian woman, and they were married. And they would get home and they would be nude, like, within 30 seconds, just walking around.
- [24:56]
A
Nude.
- [24:57]
B
Nude and like, nude all the time that they were at home. And. And they had sort of like an outdoor sort of patio garden, and they'd be out there new.
- [25:07]
A
They really.
- [25:08]
B
Yeah, they didn't give a. And my. My aunt told me that once that down the hill, she was in the grocery store and she was, like, getting something off the shelf and turned and, like, face to face with them, and she went, oh, my God, I'm sorry. And they never. They never met her or anything, but she was just like, I. You know, she sees these people naked all day. Yeah. Oh, my God, I'm sorry. And then. And then from there, from Sanford, from San Francisco, we got in a car and drove down the coast and stopped in Carmel and I think Pismo beach, and then came down and went to Universal Studios. Trip. Universal Studios. And then Disneyland. We stayed at Disneyland Hotel and. Yeah, and that was a big one. That was a big one. But between that, before that, it was like, we didn't do a lot of vacations that weren't, like, going to visit family and then maybe going to Six Flags while we were there. You know, it was that. You know, I did travel, and I was on the train a lot, going to visit my dad, but, yeah, that was. That's the big vacation that I can remember. And then. And then there was the Disney World later, which was pretty fun. And I still like Disney. Disney stuff, you know? Yeah. Living here and having kids, it was. I. We used to go, you know, especially when there was a cheap Southern California rate. We used to go all the time. And, like, I have different people who were like, you go to Disneyland a lot? I'm like, Yeah, I got two little kids, and it's 45 minutes away, and it's Disneyland, you know, like. Yeah, yeah. It'd be like, you know, if you had a peach tree in your backyard. You eat a lot of peaches? Yeah. Peach tree.

You know, you grew up in the Midwest. Tell me about snow days. What are you guys doing on your snow?
- [26:56]
B
Oh, playing in the snow. But. Yeah, but there was. Whenever there was a big snow, we would listen to the radio. There was a little local radio station, W, S, P Y, which stands for sandwich, Plano, Yorkville, which was left to right, the streets that are the cities that were along Route 34. And you would listen to hear school closures. And they would do it, you know, like Manuka. You know, it was actually where Nick Offerman is from. But, you know, you hear, like, Sandwich School this, and then Plano this school, and, you know, Bristol this school, Sugar Grove, and Yorkville Grade School. Like, oh, yeah, you know, like, we don't have to go to school. And it was. It was probably a lot. There was a lot of playing in the snow and also the state snowplow coming and plowing our driveway. Oh, yeah, I forget about that.
- [27:58]
A
Yeah, you guys had a neat, pristine driveway. Yeah, yeah.
- [28:04]
B
Oh, and I forget about that. And our one. There was one year where there. It had been a big blizzard, and we had big pile of snow at the end of our driveway where they'd piled it all up. And there was an old rusted swing set that had fallen apart, but all the pieces were, like, stacked up in the backyard. Nobody had thrown it away yet. And my brother and I shoved one of the legs of the. Of the swing set down into the snow. And by this time, it had melted and it was kind of ice on top. And we played. I don't know if it was Indians or what, but tying each other to the pole and then throwing big chunks of bark that we tore off a tree on each other like knives or like hatchets. And so he did. He went first, and I tied him up and threw this. And it was like.
- [28:55]
A
Oh, you were gonna say snowballs.
- [28:57]
B
No, you know, by that Time. I don't think. I don't even think there was snow. Like, the snow was snowball makeable, you know? Yeah, yeah, but he, like, he did his turn and then I. It was my turn and he tied me to this pole, like, with my hand, hands down like this. And I'm on this little hill and he's throwing and he's throwing really hard, and I, he might, he might have been throwing snowballs that are mostly ice balls at me. And I thought, like, oh, the pole's loose. I bet I can pull it out, like. And. And I also thought, like, it would also be like a good bit, you know, like, oh, my God, look at, you know, Frankenstein has freed himself. And so I pulled out the pole out, but the pole was like this far down, so when I got it out, I could not support it. So I fell face first with my hands tied to my side down a slope like, it was probably a two foot drop beyond what would have been level onto ice. Catching the full brunt of it with my forehead, like, bam. Onto my forehead. And, you know, my. My, My brother came over and was quickly untying me and said, don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me. And I went inside and went upstairs and my mom was on the toilet and I was like crying, and she's like, what happened? And I, like, I think it was time, you know, I, of course, you know, I made it like he tied me to a pole. I didn't tell him that I was a willing accomplice. And I took my hand away from my head and she went, oh, my God. And that's when I really started crying. That's when I really started crying. And I had, I swear to you, like a purple half apple on my head. And it was there for months, months, months. I had this giant fucking knot in the middle of my. And for a few years afterwards, you could still kind get the, like, the shaded remnants of it because it was, you know, it, you up. It was a bad. Yeah, it was a bad knock there. You know, just country fun.
