On this episode of the Powers Point podcast, scott and I get thrown into the hot seat. Hey, scott, turn up the heat.
Speaker 2:Well, hello, hello, welcome to the powers point episode, season 5, episode 8. I'm Scott Powers and with me, as always, he is the voice of podcasting. We're talking about Jim Banks, what's?
Speaker 1:going on. Man. Hey, what's up? I was looking behind me. I didn't know if you were talking about somebody else.
Speaker 2:Man, it started out since we last talked. This week has been great, man. My birthday was awesome Started on Friday after the podcast and ended Saturday night.
Speaker 1:It was crazy A happy belated birthday. I thought I said it on the episode and I listened back and I go oh my god, I didn't say it and I didn't hear it. Until after the day of your birthday. I didn't post nothing. I'm like, oh my god, I'm a terrible friend according to nowadays.
Speaker 2:In all fairness, you told me before we hit record Okay then happy birthday, I forgot. So you did good, man. I listened back to the podcast from last show. Yeah, man, I'm happy with how your mic sounds, how mine sounds Super clear. We had a lot of stuff that we do and that we are going to be doing for the podcast. Yeah, it's been fun, man. And then listening back to the Nerf and the police kids, you know that was pretty cool. People asked me, man, what's that all about? And I'm like I don't know.
Speaker 1:The police and over there shooting Nerf guns at people they threw away their bullet.
Speaker 2:So how's your week been going, man?
Speaker 1:Anything crazy we're going through a remodel at work and that's always stressful with I work in the back where stuff gets dumped upon you and you're supposed to clean it and assess it and ship it out and whatever get credit for it Remodel mornings Every morning you just come in and over nights and everybody just dumps all their poop and it's all for you to sort through and it's just real aggravating. But oh well, I'm a tough guy.
Speaker 2:You know you work in a place I'm not going to name the name because we know it.
Speaker 1:You know it's fucking stressful, you can't say the evil name like Voldemort, you can't say it.
Speaker 2:It may rhyme with small mart, you know, or sock mart, you know. It drives me crazy, man. These stores they used to have like midnight crews and they would come in and they'd do the restocking and everything. But now you walk in to either Target or Walmart or Meyer and everybody's throughout the day bringing out pallets and stuff and just leaving them in the aisles. Things are falling on you. I don't want to own a store. So they need to go back to the midnights.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's pretty bad and a lot of midnight stores do have. They're not like they used to be, like the old timers say. Like us, I mean it's people do what they want at a lot of places and nobody. We're going to have to save this for a Grind my Gears episode. I was thinking when you were asking we were going to talk about a couple days ago, I said we haven't done a Grind my Gears in a while and I think it's built up in me. I know it's always built up in you.
Speaker 2:I've always got something to complain about. Even if it don't have to do with me, I still complain about it. Those Gen.
Speaker 1:Xers are always pissed off. The other thing in the week was my wife was making egg, hard boiled eggs, she makes egg salad and that for the Lenten season and Jimmy just loves eggs and he was like that one's messed up, can I have that one? And he's just eating eggs and she's not noticing his little hands like grabbing eggs and then all of a sudden later in the night or for dinner time I think I'm going to throw up and I'm like well, you downed how many eggs.
Speaker 2:Well, man, he's trying to play a cool hand Luke, but it's cool hand Jimmy.
Speaker 1:Even though he's like nine, you got to and you having a granddaughter that age, you got to. Sorry, I had to say the G word, but you got to. They can't think of their down the road or like they can't eat too much like that, especially on New Years, right, oh geez, new Years. We got two years in a row. I got a freaking. Stop at this.
Speaker 2:New Years you got to break the sabbath.
Speaker 1:I'm going to put paper on all the walls don't eat too much, don't drink too much.
Speaker 2:Before we get too far in, I want to congratulate the cast. Of Pink is in. They've been nominated again for the best TV ensemble for a comedy and this is the third year They've been nominated. They haven't won. Okay, they always get beat by like big names, like trailer mark boys or letter Kenny, but I feel this is their year. So Anybody listening from the, from the cast, congratulations who has they served it?
Speaker 1:Yes and um. What are they shooting? Their next season?
Speaker 2:so waiting, and I think, from what I understand Now, that they're on to be yeah. They want. They want to see like if they get, you know, help, get paid for the production. Okay, so just waiting on that and my passports, like just eager to go man one step in the direction.
Speaker 1:Merlene, just, we finally got the papers and everything together and she got her real ID. We've got the old marriage license and that women have to prove and get a new license and she, they made it the real ID, so now we can maybe get passports.
Speaker 2:No, you see, that's crazy. I don't really know what the real ID is. I know they put the star on your driver's lights.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's that it pretty much like I think it. It's easier to get passports and it acts as a Because when you have to get it you have to have, like, your social security card, your birth certificate and other stuff. But it's more precise that that's a form of the like, a mental level up of regular ID. It's weird.
Speaker 2:When you send out, when it post office sends out, your application for a passport, yeah, and you actually have to send like a birth certificate, that yeah with it. Hey, you know. And then you're like, oh my, am I getting this stuff back? You know, oh my god, my social security card out and I got it all back. So they took the information. But right, you know who else took that information exactly. First hand up mailroom. You could go to downtown Chicago and expedite it and Tell them that you're going to be in Canada in this many days. Yeah, you have to be there within the month and then you can get it in like a the same day or two days. You're gonna pay a little bit more for it, but what you don't have to go through all that right, but who wants to go to Chicago?
Speaker 1:nowadays. No, no me. I'm an anti Chicago person. I mean I'm it's rare around here. Usually everybody else is in love with Chicago, but not me.
Speaker 2:I love Chicago, I love the food, I love the skyline. What yeah clear day. I mean nothing beats it in the world with the architecture, nothing beats the foods. You know they they have like little Italy, little Greece, little Holland, little Mexico, little China.
Speaker 1:Little trailer mark, little little Mexico or little right, little trailer, little get a little.
Speaker 2:They got squirrel and bird, but you know I love going to Navy Pier and going to bubblegum. Oh, that's, that's a great place to eat. If you've never been there, no, it's awesome. They have a forest. Go up lookalike, walking around like talking to you, and then if you he'll ask like five trivia questions and like if you answer them and you get like a discount on your meal, yeah, it's just fun.
Speaker 1:Does he run away like like forested in the movie? He's just our own, sir, he runs.
Speaker 2:There ain't that much room on in the what's your go. We shot a podcast from there once with the major mess hall and he just wouldn't shut up. You know we're trying to end that segment and he just and Do this and that and there is and I'm like Looking at the other guys and we're like, alright, shut up, he's a house. So so how was your week? It was good. Man. Had another run in with a certain motorcycle club what that? I won't. Can't say their name, man, because I saw you throwing garbage.
Speaker 1:Are you throwing garbage out your window again and hitting people?
Speaker 2:No man, it's like this is my second run in with this motorcycle club, not gang club, and it's the same pub and Actually getting nervous dude, just because they're in there shows our hA. Yeah, you know what they are dude. Oh, he's gonna hear their Motorcycle gang you think of oh, I think of the Heavy archer. Yes, yes, yes, yes, and they're all dressed like green arrow.
Speaker 1:But it's not golden as air. Stop going to those areas and you won't find bad people.
Speaker 2:Well, the the first one in last year. I was getting on the highway and this big motorcycle chain just kept going. Yeah, and to get over, I lost, you know, on to my way my lanes running, otherwise you're going in. Oh yeah, it's running out. So I just went over and then I'm like, oh, this is gonna be stupid, you know. So I did it and my eyes instantly divert straight ahead. Yeah, and then I'm not looking at them, not looking at them, and then I hear knock, knock, knock, knock to I'm doing 70 and I'm hearing knock, knock back and I look over and this big dude, the problem hand you look like a bear on a motorcycle Dude. He like got real close to my car, knocked on my, on my window While we're driving and then put the gun like that and pointed men with his fingers and I'm like I think I shit myself.
Speaker 2:So then fast forward to the other day. I was getting on 49 and Chester 10 and there was a gang of motorcycle clubs I can't say that G word and they get in front of you and they get on the side of you and they slow down their motorcycles. Then they speed up your motorcycle, so they're controlling my speed too, you know, because I'm like I can't hit them. There's like eight of them. Yeah, I'm a dead man.
Speaker 2:So I think they got it out for me, man oh good, that's crazy and then I got stuck on the highway the other day because of road rage on the highway. Somebody got shot and killed on the highway and then the police closed it down so they could look for the bullet casing on the highway and they found it and they got the guy to hate home. That's why I keep my eyes straight ahead, man. And now I got these big, big dudes all getting crazy on me now.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, I think you need to like find alternate paths to wherever you're going yeah, dude, you know, sometimes I gotta put my glasses on.
Speaker 2:You know, I'm literally I don't have to wear glasses, right, okay, but as as I get older, that my eyes are deteriorating, so, yeah, it's, it's, it's crazy. And then when I see the patch and I'm like, oh man, you know, like just man, oh man, not these guys, it's like a movie. Yeah, so that's my week okay.
Speaker 1:Well, what can you do really? I mean stuff like this. Sometimes stuff happens, sometimes, that doesn't. You just got to try to roll with the punches and try not to get shot by a biker a club.
Speaker 2:I gotta keep saying it my head. But hey, we're gonna take a quick commercial break. When we come back we are gonna be in the hot seat, as you said. I got some questions here in front of me. I'm gonna ask because people don't really know who we are sub Scott and Jim. We're gonna ask some questions here get to know us more.
Speaker 1:Yes, so we're gonna take commercial and when we come back we're in a hot seat, sticking together as vinyl creations stand out for their creativity, customization options and attention to detail.

Alright, jim, yes, we're gonna get to know each other here. You know, listen, listener or our friends, they're listening are gonna get to get to know us a little bit better because they only know a little bit about us each.
Speaker 1:Some of that, most of them but this and a couple of things, might you know?
Speaker 2:I feel like I know that got more right, right, he's just like me, and they might feel better about themselves or he's a jerk. I'm never listening to this, no but they always say that about me. But oh so in front of me I have a deck of cards, probably about 150 cards, maybe a little more okay and I am going to just randomly draw them 10 questions.
Speaker 2:I'm just gonna draw 10 cards, ask the question, you answer it, and then I'll respond with my answer. Okay, and hopefully by the end of this show we're gonna have more friends okay alright. So question one what would I be doing with my life if money wasn't?
Speaker 1:a problem. If money wasn't a problem, I surely wouldn't be like working hard of the job like you know, like I've been doing for last 30 years. But um, hmm, if money wasn't an issue I would probably, because we didn't mean the wife and son, but mainly me and the wife haven't traveled really at all, compared to like all friends and stuff and family. I think we'd would probably just start traveling and stuff going to different plug first, your course. Yeah, I think, traveling, seeing family you go first. I'd want to go to Italy and visit my grand aunt, who I haven't seen since I was about seven or eight or something, and Berlin would love to go to Italy, ireland she always wanted to go to Ireland, of course. Canada that's, that's probably in our future for it, because it's so close and more easy to go there and come back three and a half hours away, man, you're here in Canada yeah, I'd probably just travel a little bit.
Speaker 1:I mean then, knowing me in my nature, I'd probably like, if money wasn't an object, I would start giving money to, like donate donations to places that are 100% like, honest with their money and that they gives to people in need and stuff. Because I don't like celebrities when they have to have a news media and taking pictures when they do donations or charity work. I like I me and really try to teach Jimmy not to to give donations and don't advertise about it. Just, you know, it's just a way to do it.
Speaker 1:You don't have to, you don't need all the hype right, because then it it's not genuine, yeah it's just, you're just doing it for attention or likes, or whatever they call it, and it means more than when you're gone, everybody finds out. Oh my god, you. Well, that's what you all should be doing. Yeah, he was donating and nobody knew about it, so you should have done it so what would I be doing my life if? Money was an issue. Yes, besides traveling and donating, okay, and hookers, come on here, he said, there he goes.
Speaker 2:I would get every AI robot ever and we'd all do drugs no, I would build something in the area that isn't in our area, but a true comedy club and you know something that can make money but you know bringing names and have really affordable tickets. Yeah, you can't go to Chicago and go to a county so you're looking at, even if you go to the boat, the horseshoe casino when they bring in, like Steve Martin and Martin Short. The one time tickets were over 200 bucks. Wow, you know I would make it. So I don't really need the money because once the employees are getting paid, you know I'll give it to you for like 30 bucks, you know, for the ticket. Yeah, I always want to do that, just like open up a comedy club, whether it be in like Sherville or Dyer here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and find a huge piece of land and just get it all yeah.
Speaker 2:And then, like when the comedy is not around, have like a band or something, play and make it small and, you know, a little bit more personal for the person that's there.
Speaker 1:Like how they change the art theater in Hobart to a comedy music venue place now. But there's really the parking is terrible because it's in that small downtown Hobart where there is public parking in different places but it's not like when you go to a big place and there's a huge parking lot kind of thing, Then you're going to pay for parking when you get to places.
Speaker 2:You know, and speaking of the art theater, april 7th, at the art theater, mad Hatter shows is bringing in Tom Green. So if you ever want to meet that guy and Scott Powers, more Scott Powers you can get your tickets there at madhattershowscom or the art theater box office. So, anyway, jim, another hostage, yes, let's get another. What's one skill that you would love to have?
Speaker 1:One skill I'd want to speak languages like different languages, like Spanish, Italian, French, Mandarin, just all different kind of languages. I'd love to just speak languages communication. That'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 2:The other thing for me. One skill I'd love to have is be a helicopter pilot Useful.
Speaker 1:I mean, if you get in a situation and you can, just, I can fly helicopters.
Speaker 2:You know it's and I really thought about it. You know, when they airlifted Caroline from one hospital two and a half hours away to another hospital and I thought, man, that's pretty amazing. And then to find out they were old Vietnam vets you know, helicopter pilots really cool. And then he watched TV shows like Air Wolf and Blue Thunder and you're like, yeah, and you're like, take down the bad guys with this crazy helicopter. You're like, move over.
Speaker 1:I got this. You wanted to do that. All right, give me the red one. What's another? Who's your favorite celebrity? Now my favorite celebrity, or in the past, either, or In the past it would have to be, I'd say, groucho Marx. And nowadays see, the problem is, nowadays I don't I start saying I like that celebrity and all of a sudden they're involved in something, or they did something, or they think something, and I'm like no, I don't know, I take it back. I take it back, okay, but nowadays that nothing has been proven is pretty much Keanu Reeves, I think.
Speaker 2:Good, I got to go with that too, Because you hear about all the kindness he does and he's not looking for an attentional like you. Your previous answer.
Speaker 1:He writes, he rides a bus and like with everybody. He could just get you know in a bad neighborhood standard but everybody leaves him alone or just smiles and you know he's so nice to everybody.
Speaker 2:Or that one person that was sitting on the train filmed him. He gave up his cifers and let a pregnant female sit down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and whenever he takes pictures. He learned this trick years ago and nobody knew. Everybody's like, oh, why does he do that? But then what's happened with the inappropriate celebrity touches and all this court cases and you know horrible things they did on casting couches. Whenever he takes a picture, he's always kept both hands visible in the picture. If it's around someone's waist, he'll show the hand sticking out the side. I'm like that is so perfect, man, they can't ever sue you.
Speaker 2:It showed also he there's a few videos where a gay and a patient person walking by would just catch him. He was sitting with the homeless, like laying down on the ground. He had his head on the homeless guy's lap and they were just talking and they he bought them food so they were eating while he was just talking to this random homeless guy and I think that's amazing because I think his life he's been I read a little bit about his life has passed.
Speaker 1:He's been through such a lot of tragedy and bad stuff that he just has got it in life. Now he knows why not just be good and appreciate the littlest things.
Speaker 2:And did you see the girl when they were filming Bill and Ted's two or three? It was down in Florida and girl had in her, in her yard, a sign that said hey, can you love you? If you ever get bored, the door is always open for you. And so like a couple of weeks went by and then they were all sitting in the living room and they heard the door knock. And then they open the door and it was canary. That's awesome. And he said he would have been there sooner but filming was pretty tight. That's hilarious. And they said he spent like 20 minutes, 30 minutes, just just talking with them you know that that little bit just made their life.
Speaker 1:You know, just that simple little 20 minutes.
Speaker 2:And they're. A cool thing about him is like when they're walking through the airports and like TMZ and everybody's like we're rushing up on him because he fights the same kind of plane we do, you know, yeah, but he won't talk to them. But if you're a fan like he's happy to take a picture but you got to keep walking, you know, because he's got to catch his flight, yeah, but amazing job, you know, I would. I would agree with that for a modern day celebrity. Happy beat, I think, for my lost celebrity who are back in the day celebrity. Yeah, I think WC Fields would be pretty cool. That would be good.
Speaker 2:He had this crazy honoree, honoree persona, everybody in Merida. Yeah, but in reality he was quite the opposite and it's known that he's a atheist. He was an atheist right After. He did not believe in God and then on his deathbed is, his brother walked in and he was reading the Bible and he's like what are you doing? You don't even believe in God. And he had the perfect answer he's looking for a loophole and you know, that's awesome. That's a great answer, man. Yeah, and you said Groucher Mark, have you ever read his biography?
Speaker 1:No, I've always wanted to buy all the books and stuff, but I haven't been able to read it.
Speaker 2:So they moved from New York to Joliet Illinois, right, so real close to us, yeah. And in his book he was asked, he said the best looking ladies in all of his travels and everything. The one name he said Jim ready, Hammond, Indiana. Oh my gosh, and I thought really cool, Now you're hitting close to home.
Speaker 1:So yeah, but those women are like gone. Now I mean the area has changed, but back then yeah.
Speaker 2:Hey, it's a good thing you mentioned Groucher and I got WC Fields, because just in a couple of weeks I just want to announce that we are going to be talking about slapstick comedy with our panelists again. So that's just a couple of weeks away. We're just giving everybody an insight. So OK, jim, oh, come on. The question is, if I was a professional wrestler, what would my name be? That's hilarious.
Speaker 1:What is it then? What would it be Scott? Oh man, you'd have to have other people name you. I don't know. We both have had wrestling gimmick names technically.
Speaker 2:I have to use powers for like 30 years now, Damn near. A lot of people think that's my real name, but I know the secret.
Speaker 1:Give you guys a clue it's not but it I know you what's your name is. It begins with an H and then an A.
Speaker 2:Oh, come on, Not that again, I don't know. We married the American luchador.
Speaker 1:OK, see, then the others have to give you names too, because I went by James Lards the third, even though I wasn't a third. I know, maybe Buffalo head, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Look at old Buffalo head over there.
Speaker 1:My grandpa used to call me that because I had the big Afro, and now that I'm older I got the goat the goat tea down here. So I'm like I do look like a Buffalo head, ok, switch it up to.
Speaker 2:I don't know why. That was a hard question, man, for both you and I, yeah.
Speaker 1:I think we're involved in it. I mean we've been called other things in the wrestling business.
Speaker 2:I mean OK, here's one for you to ponder. Which body part would you miss the most if it were gone? Well, I don't know about me, but my wife would no.
Speaker 1:I think, yeah, I think my yeah, old yeah, I'd miss Mr man down there. I think that'd be the first, the most important one I'd miss.
Speaker 2:Here goes my band teacher's name.
Speaker 1:Mr. Ok, big Jim and the twin, big Jim and the twins down there, what about? I'd miss them the most?
Speaker 2:My old, long solo All right. Moving on, what is something I find interesting that most people find boring?
Speaker 1:Interesting. Well, that's a good one. But who I find interesting that most people find boring, often bad. I would just have to say genealogy, one of my hobbies that I really like, because, yeah, you have to know where you came from and sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but it's also you find different things about your past, your ancestors, your grandparents. You know what they went through, what they lived through and how they got through it. And it's just when you think of it, it all, all that stuff happened and then you came about. It's just, I mean, it's good and bad for some people, but it doesn't define you, it's just real interesting. I really a lot of people like, yeah, I don't care about my family history, but I always think it's good.
Speaker 2:It's a good answer. Mine would be like love for old TV shows. Yeah, people are like I'm not watching that old stuff anymore, but that stuff made a lot of actors who they are, who that you know and passed it down, you know, and I'm talking about late 20s, you know, to like 60s, early 70s, anything before or after that it just don't get me.
Speaker 1:Because nowadays it seems so fake and like, not like funny and original and stuff it's just all this it's garbage. It's just the most shocking and garbage crap. But if you look at those, the old stuff from like the olden times on to like the yeah by the 70s, cut off 80s, pretty much the end of the 80s and that stuff was all innovative and funny and there's messages and the way actors do their acting, it's all it's nice, it's just it's real sentimental how, how good it was back then and it's it's just.
Speaker 2:Hollywood sees how great it was back in the day, so they try to reboot it and do it in a whole different twist and it just ruins and takes away.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I never try to do look at stuff like that.
Speaker 2:In the last couple of weeks, the family we've been sitting down and we've watched every rendition of War of the Worlds. Yeah, and they just got a new one last week on Hulu and I'm like, oh my God, like stop trying to take away from the original.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, where are we at here, buddy? Where are we at? I don't know All right, oh, shoot shoot.
Speaker 2:We got like two more. All right, ok. So celebrity crush who's your celebrity crush?
Speaker 1:Oh, celebrity crush? Yeah, I don't know. I really don't Do. I have one, I don't know. What are you? Who's yours? Let me think.
Speaker 2:Drew Barrymore Always has been Always will be.
Speaker 1:When I was younger, I did have a crush on her too, maybe because she was smoking or she was starting fires.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Uh, it's changed. I really don't know an answer. Everybody's on my crushes are old, Like Linda Carter, Wonder Woman, Back in the Desk she still looks amazing. Yeah, can't think of anything. I'll have to get back to everybody. I really can't think of any. Well, are you gonna ask me nowadays or no? Just, I like the fine wine. You know the older women Now that I'm older.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, it could be even from an old movie that you watch and you just thought that person was drop dead gorgeous.
Speaker 1:Uh, really appealed to you Because I can't think of any. I'll say Margaret Dumont in the Mark's Brothers movies. Uh, that'll be my answer for today. I'll have to. You'll have to Google that and see, I can't think of anything. That's the only name that could pop into my head right now that we're talking to Mark's brothers.
Speaker 2:Last question Boom, I think your parents have named you.
Speaker 1:Oh, I know this. My parents, my dad, was going to name me James Dean. Middle name Dean yeah, yeah, he was dead, said on it because that was back in his time. But his cousin that lived around here by us had a son right before I did, before he did, and he's named his son James Dean. So my dad said he couldn't name him the same name. So it changed and there's my modded out I know. And then on my mom. Then my mom said she wanted to name me Basil and it would have been after me Basil. No, Basil, it would have been after Basil Rathbone, sherlock Holmes actor. But she loved Basil Rathbone and she said she fought for Basil and my dad fought for James Dean. It's just odd combination, but I didn't get either.
Speaker 2:So for me, I would have liked them to name me Howie, howie. Yeah, it's just what's up, howie. You know, it's just Howie doing there. Yeah, yeah, so I just thought it would be kind of cool.
Speaker 1:That could be your wrestling name the great Howie or something, or Howie duty. No well, they'd call you duty.
Speaker 2:Hey, jim, that concludes our hot seat, and we really hope that people knew us. We need to let the seat cool us down a little bit. I think my chicks are well done right now. Hey, just real fast before we head out. We are going to do a couple of short episodes this this next couple of weeks so, yeah, don't lose the long ones, right, right, we did enough of those backbreaker wrestling and hammer a lot.
Speaker 2:Dick is coming back at St Mary's Hilda Brandt Hall and March 23rd. We know of one match. We've talked to one of the participants. Last week we got Jacob Brown versus Johnny Motley, which is going to be a crazy like rudge almost. You know Jake Scott's gotten approved to his mentor. What else is a? Was there another match? Yeah, dick Davis is coming after Richie Rothschild. This is going to be another great fight because both of them are very Matt technician.
Speaker 2:And then it's also been announced that Matt Harvey, mad Dog Matt Harvey will be in attendance too. We haven't seen him in a while, so tickets are really cheap, guys. I'm telling you, if you want something fun, interesting to do, that you haven't ever done before, check out. Yeah, give it a shot, cause man, honestly, jim, if you're having a bad week and you can go to a wrestling show and just yell and people aren't gonna think you're crazy. Get it out of your face, because they're gonna be doing the same thing. Also, if you come to the show, you can meet Jim and myself. We're gonna do another. We're gonna do something there.
Speaker 1:We're not gonna tell you you gotta just go there and see it's gonna be something real cool. We're gonna start.
Speaker 2:Again, food concessions is cheap, ticket prices are cheap and birds go cheap and it doesn't last long. It's only starts at six o'clock, ends probably about 8.15. You're home by nine. You still get up early for church in the morning. So with that, my friend, I know we're not talking much, but that's all I got for this week. That's all I got. I got one more thing, yeah, but before we leave you gotta drop that knowledge on us, man, all right a quote no man goes before his time unless the boss leaves early.
