  • Salida UFO Footage 1995 with Houston Pierce from 1000 Crazy Questions
    Salida UFO Footage 1995 In this episode of Mondo Freako, host Bob LeMent is joined by Houston Pierce, creator of the interview-based podcast 1,000 Crazy Questions, to discuss paranormal trivia and the infamous 1995 Salida, Colorado UFO footage. Houston participates in a high-stakes trivia quiz testing his knowledge of the legendary daylight sighting recorded by resident Tim Edwards after being alerted by his six-year-old daughter. Despite missteps on cigar-shaped craft classifications and missing out on final points, Houston defends his choices with sharp wit and skepticism. Transitioning from the quiz to the actual video, Bob and Houston analyze the grainy, historic footage of the mysterious hovering craft. The conversation broadens into a lively debate touching on secret military anti-gravity technology, defense economics, submarine-shaped naval concepts, and Occam's razor. Throughout the banter, Houston promotes his ongoing project at thousandcrazyquestions.com and via Instagram, while Bob guides listeners through another deep dive into the weird world of UFO lore and unexplainable aerial phenomena. 1000 Crazy Questions@1000CrazyQuestions https://youtube.com/live/ASqiKx7gEEw UFO Witness Game (Click Graphic to Start) Transcript (AI transcription) Houston. How can there be Houston in Colorado? I think it's kind of like there's a weird in Texas and there's a Colorado in Alabama. I don't know. Words are made up. Words are Rico. I got Houston Pierce from 1000 Crazy Questions with me. Hey, Houston. Hey, how's it going, Bob? Good. I hope you're doing well. It's starting to get cold. Not enjoying that too much, although it is 81 degrees still here at the moment. Is it cool where you're at? It's just now starting to get cool. But unlike you, I do like it. I mean, it gives me a chance to break out, you know, the winter gear. I don't know about you, but Most of my wardrobe is like jackets, hoodies, and stuff like that. It goes with my wardrobe, totally. Exactly, yeah. And my wardrobe is naturally built for the cold, so I'm fine. Oh, well, then good. Now, everybody doesn't know, Houston's got a show called Thousand Crazy Questions. You can catch it right here, thousandcrazyquestions.com, or…
    at on the Insta and other places, thousand crazy questions. Look at that. I can't believe it. You want to help give people a real quick brief synopsis on what do you really have? How many questions have you asked so far? I mean, what number are you keeping track of the numbers? There's no way I can keep track. There's no way. I think if I did have a, I think I have 83 episodes up. i've recorded over, I think i've recorded about a hundred and i'm passing up 90 really soon in this next season. So if i do the math, uh, with about seven episodes, average times 83 being recorded and fully asked, then eight, seven times 83, I have asked a math. seven times 83 i've asked is 581, according to my calculator then i have and i have asked on air, on camera, and at least recorded 583 questions. There you go. Okay, well, hey, you're making a lot of headway then you you're halfway more than halfway there. Yeah, more or less. That's why that's
    What I've asked within the collective career of what's been on there. Actually, I know I've asked more than that, but that's what you can find. That's what's documented is what you're saying. The show is an interview-based podcast where I ask different guests every week a bunch of would-you-rather questions and just different hypothetical scenarios to interview them. And it gets weird. It gets deep. it gets silly and, uh, yeah, just always try to be entertaining on it. But that's, that's for sure. I've been on, I think at least twice. I can't remember now, but at least yeah Yeah. And Houston asked me some very naughty questions. One time he's like, are you okay for these kind of really, uh, terrible? I go, sure. Whatever. Do you remember that
    I remember. That might have been the first time I was on. You're like, yeah, I'm going to ask you these horrible questions. I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah, because I remember I think it was near the end or something. You were like, you, I think you said you lulled me in with the good ones. Right. And then at the end you're like, these questions are terrible. It was a horrible question, but I answered it. Everybody's like, I couldn't stop laughing at that. Like, you lulled me. You're like, oh, these cutesy questions. And then, boom, a hardcore, you know, nasty question. I tried to warn him. But also, yeah. But also, I don't know, I was talking to a blue cat. And I remember I had a fever that day, too. So that was definitely a vibe. Right. You'll have to go back and check and see if it happened. Yeah. Yeah.
    Yeah, like i think i think this cartoon cat can answer this question, I think. He answers anything, goodness gracious. He's such a weirdo. But everybody check it out, A Thousand Crazy Questions. It's a lot of fun if you're you know, want to be on the show, you know, just reach out through Instagram. Oh, yeah. You still have you on. He'll ask you some terrible, horrible question. Yeah. I'm just joking this is okay Only if you're able to take it. That's right. We don't want anybody crying. There's no crying on a thousand crazy questions. No, no. Unless it's funny. And then which case maybe, but I'm kidding. But yeah, reach out to me at one K crazy questions at Gmail. That's another one. I got to type in here. You don't have to type. It's just the email. If you want to reach out directly, otherwise Instagram is just fine to be on the show. If you want to reach out to me, um,
    but yeah let's see if this is that look correct uh yeah yeah that's it there you go. We'll throw it up there. So yeah, if you want to reach out, be on the show. But this show is mondo frico and um we're going to talk about something weird. You always have a choice at the beginning of mondo Frico. We talk about something strange. It's usually in the world of the paranormal, in the world of the cryptids, or in the world of the UFOs, which is almost kind of like, well, I guess it could be in the water, but it's kind of like sky, land, and ether, maybe, with paranormal. But we always try to, everybody else, if you want to take the quiz first, or do you want to take the quiz after we talk about what we're going to talk about? I think…
    I think all the times I've been on before, I've asked for it first because I'm a sociopath who likes challenging myself. Okay. Well, I'm not a true sociopath. I shouldn't say that. But I do like the challenge of going in completely blind. I'll do it again. Doing the quiz? Yeah. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. There you go. Houston's going to do the quiz. Here we are with the quiz. This is about the Salada. I hope I'm saying that correctly. Video footage from 1995. I know in 1995 you may not have been in existence yet, but it's something to be, you know, to pay attention to. The Salada video footage in 1995. I'm going to start. We've got five questions here. We're going to see how Houston does.
    And if you look here, Houston, it may be hard on your screen, but there's a little easy button here, right? So it'll be easy, medium, or hard. First question for you is easy. I always have a hint. Here is your first question. Are you ready, sir? I'm ready. In August 1995, which Salada, Colorado resident famously recorded a widely discussed daylight video of an anomalous flying object? Was it… Tim Edwards, Dale Salata, Arthur Cooper, or George Adamski. And I have a hint if you want to. Okay. So this is called the Salata video footage. And there's a guy named Dale Salata in the options. Yeah. But something is telling me to not pick number D. I'll probably go with Dale. I'm probably going to say it's a guy named Dale. You want to go with Dale? I feel like.
    You sure? I feel like Dales are the people who just do this. Nothing to do with it. The king of the hill. Yeah. Great job, our boy. Love you. There is a UFO out there, Hank. Yeah. I have a hint if you want to do the hint. There's no shame in doing the hint. I will not shame myself by doing the hint. I think this is a Dale. The last name has nothing to do with it. I think this is a Dale thing. Okay. Let's see. Let's reveal. Oh, no. It's Tim Edwards. Hey, Tim Edwards recorded the footage in August 1995 after his six-year-old daughter alerted him. Look, daddy, UFO. There you go. He has a cool last name. Is there really, Dale Salata, or is that fully made up? I think it's just made up. Okay. Because Salata is like, that means like to exit or something, right? That's like Spanish for exit. Okay. Like Dale…
    Exit. georgia damski is a real person. Uh, I mean, they're all real people. I'm sure with this names, but, uh, georgia damski is actually somebody, and i can't remember why, what he is noted for but he's somebody so got it all right you ready for ready for number two or no, I don't know if that was easy. I may be cooked. Well, you don't know anything about the topic. It just got sprung on you. So there you know what i mean? It's hard. I'm trying. You're going in blind, you know? So this was a medium question. It may be easier. Who knows? These little buttons, I think they just randomly pepper them in there. I don't know. What general geometric shape is commonly used to describe the prominent UFO captured in the 1995 Salada video footage? Is it A, a triangle? B, a cigar or tube shaped? C, a perfect sphere? Or D, a flat disc?
    i do have a hint if you want it. This is all very a lot of classic ufo shapes there. Yeah. There was a cigar shaped uh asteroid that was going to kill us some years ago

And your son got a free glass. Did he? Well, I don't think he stole it, but I told him he should. Nah, he doesn't. He's better than me. He wouldn't do that. I would do it. Yeah, you were like, hey, I got these sweatpants on, son. They'll fit right here in the old crotch. No, I got in trouble once because I did steal a knife from Sizzler once. I got kind of yelled at for doing that. Those Sizzler knives, they were collector's items. They're like red plastic handled. Like a freaking clown knife or something. So yeah, we met for dinner, which is an unusual occurrence. Yeah.
    I know, and I almost pretended like I was going to honk your wife's nose when she walked by. Uh-oh. Yeah, that wouldn't have went over. She's not in the nose play. Yeah, I don't think that would have went over very well. I didn't touch her, but I imagined I did. Well, I think you could probably say that about a lot of people. She's got such a little teeny tiny nose, though. What? Okay. She's got a small nose. Really? Well, compared to you. Well, no, my whole family's got like these big polack noses. But she doesn't, you know i mean well yeah i don't know, I'm just saying i'll tell you about that, but anyhow. No, I'm just saying. I'm getting a little weirded out by this nose talk. I have this weird feeling that you're combing, you know
    weird tiktok instagram pages about noses or something. I don't know what's going on it's all kinds of weird things going on. I'm grooming her for her nose. Yeah, I don't know what, you know. Is there a nose fetish? I don't know. No, I'm just saying she has a proportional nose she's oh that's very nice. I've got like this carol malden nose like everyone in my family, and i'm jealous i'm like wow i was cursed like one of those uh one of those elephant seals. Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha. It's like flapping around. You're like… You lean your head back. You're trying to… Every time you try to drink, you just get a glass full in your nose. No, these credits are no good. That's me. Yeah. That's me. Yeah.
    So, yeah, I'm sorry. I quite a lot. Oh, but yeah. But no, we had dinner. It was it was nice. I was nice. I will say. Yeah. Out of the four of us at the table, you were the weirdo. I know what you're going to say. I know what you're going to say. Because my son and I had this conversation on the way home. Oh, did you? Yes. I'm like, maybe I should do this more often. He makes me look normal. Yeah. With his actions. He's like such a weirdo at dinner. He's so weird. I'm like, have you ever leave the house? I mean, you go out more than I do. Yeah. You got like your eyes are wiggling and your hands are doing things and making weird gestures. And you're like making these noises. And it's like, I'm like, what is wrong? I'm like David Byrne and stop making sense. I'm doing a little thing where I'm chopping my arm. You know, you might ask yourself. And then.
    You're like, you know, I don't know if this was like some kind of weird flirting you were doing with the waitress. I don't know. But I mean, obviously she wasn't taking it that way. She was taking it that you possibly had some kind of brain problems. It's asking you questions because your wife was not feeling well. She didn't make it in. You got her some egg rolls. It took you like 15 fucking minutes to say, can I order egg rolls to go? I was, you know, just trying to be dramatic pausing. It was like Shatner times 10. It was a sous serre. It was a sous serre. It was a dramatic pause. I would like to have an order of what you might call… Fucking epileptic Hugh Grant over here. I…
    i would like even your son was like, what the hell with you old man yeah well i remember egg rolls and you're driving oh my lord i thought i was all right yeah and i was just like, ah, it's just like, you know, you're like i just didn't want the waitress to leave, you know, like, Vera, don't know oh no! I just shined up my shoes. Oh, no. Yeah. Thankfully, you know, she, but she thought you were weird too. I could tell, I could tell with her demeanor. Oh, I think she thought, no, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. No, I think she's used to it. She kept stepping back away from me. Yeah. She'd scoot back every time you moved your hand.
    Like it was going to reach out and grab her or something. She was pulling away from my gravitational pull. She's like, oh, fuck. Gravity. What the fuck? Get away. Yeah. What's in this Kung Pao? Holy shit. It's like a black hole over here. I'm just reading your shirt. Yeah. You're so weird. I'm like, he's really weird. When we left, I'm like, God, Miles is really weird. That's normal, isn't it? I go, no, he's weirder than usual. She's like, really? I go, yes. If that fucker talks about your nose, I'm going to punch him out. She has a very nice nose. She has a nice nose. But no, yeah, you were all, you know, I don't know. You have not hit on what my son and I were talking about, though. Well, did you touch yourself a bunch? I don't know. I was at the table. Okay. Did you fart? I don't know. No. Are those your main points, first of all?
    Well, your eyes were very shifty. You kept looking around. You made weird hand gestures. You couldn't think with any kind of clarity. I'm like, is he choking out? What did your son say? No, no, I brought this up to him. You ate like a pig. You're like, rah, rah. And I was like, hmm. No. So we all ordered different things, as you touched upon. And everyone. We shared, honestly. We had so much food. Yeah. And you guys all got rice, right? Right. Oh, the noodles. Oh, you and the fucking noodles. And I ordered little Maine. They have a name. It's called little Maine. It's not called Chinese spaghetti, by the way, which you kept saying, which I thought was a little racist. I'm like, all right. Well, for the sake of show, he didn't wink. And, uh, I see you're even winking. Now you're winking there. You're winking. Now I have, I have some eating issues. I have to eat slower than everyone else.
    Okay. And, uh, did your mom told you or something? I don't know. No, it's just, it is a problem I have, which is not a big deal, but I don't, you know, it's not a big deal. And so can you explain this? Why slower? And the new, I have a swallowing problem. I do. No, I don't laugh. If you want, I have a swallowing, right? Slower. Exactly why you should never go to prison. I used to be the fastest eater at the table, and now I've gone to by far the slowest. So these guys get their rice in a separate bowl, and my noodles come in a separate bowl, right? Right. They're in a bowl. They're in a bowl. Okay. I don't know. I should have just thrown that in with my

  • Ozark Howler with Ponder from Pondcast
    Ozark Howler In this episode of Mondo Freako, host Bob LeMent welcomes Jeff Ponder to discuss his newly rebranded hockey show, Hockey Night in St. Louis, following a 15-year run with Let's Go Blues Radio. Ponder shares insights into covering local and regional hockey, including unique segments dedicated to beer leagues and St. Louis natives playing across professional and collegiate circuits. The conversation then shifts into a deep dive on Missouri folklore as Ponder takes on a five-question trivia quiz about the legendary Ozark Howler, scoring a respectable 60% by relying on his knowledge of regional geography and history. Following the quiz, Bob and Jeff explore the origins and cultural impact of the Ozark Howler, debating whether the bear-sized, horned cryptid was originally dreamed up as a clever cover story by Prohibition-era moonshiners to deter trespassers. They also touch upon remote wilderness conservation, comparing regional legends to Bigfoot lore and the logistics of audio waveform analysis for cryptid calls. The episode concludes with details on where listeners can find Hockey Night in St. Louis across social media platforms and streaming channels, blending sports commentary with classic paranormal folklore. PondcastHockey Night in St. Louis https://youtube.com/live/_fdF4C25TnA UFO Witness Game (Click Graphic to Start) Transcript (AI transcription) Hey, Ponder, what's shaking? Me.

Say it again now hockey night in st louis okay hockey night in st louis we cover all hockey and all of St. Louis. So, you know, we've even got a beer league segment really like me can be like, hey, people talked about me on a on a dinky little podcast. Really? I didn't really Actually, I know some people who are in kind of the beer league hockey situation, besides yourself.
    So I will make sure I mention it. Hockey Night St. Louis. Hockey Night in St. Louis, yes. In St. Louis. I forgot the N. Is it just a letter N or is it I-N? I-N. It's not like in and out. No, Hockey Night in St. Louis. In St. Louis. All right. That will be the third season. We'll change it to that. All right. Well, and don't forget the podcast. Jeff does a podcast. Been doing that for a while. The hockey stuff, you've done a variation and this is the new variation, I believe. Yes. So we did a let's go blues radio. We did that for 15 years, over 550 episodes, which was insane that people actually wanted to hear me talk about sports that much. But yeah, we started this season. We kind of,
    Reformatted, so we decided to rebrand, and we are now hockey night in St. Louis, and as you mentioned, the podcast how you and i met uh conversations that go nowhere. You can find us on any of the social media, or i guess any of the podcasting platforms, and uh yes it's literally random guest random topic, and we just talk about silly stuff, which uh it seems, Bob, like you're kind of into that. I do love silly stuff, that's for sure. Yep. Definitely. So here's the podcast. What's the social handle for podcast? It is podcastconvos. So it's what you have there and then C-O-N-V-O-S. All together. All together now. Here we go. Podcastconvos. There you go. There it is. All right. Hey, what is it?
    You got a cactus or something popping up? I got a kitty right here. He's very interested in what you have to say, Bobby. He sees the cartoon cat and he's like, what is going on? What is happening? I'm like, hey, my friend. Well, this is Mondo Frico, but don't forget to check out the podcast right here, here and there. And I'm going to ask you, do you want to do the quiz first or hear the story first? You know, we did the quiz first last time. Let's do it again. Oh, you want to go with the quiz? Oh, yeah. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. at the quiz this week is about the Ozark Howler. Have you heard of this? Can you see the questions on there? I've heard of it, but I'll admit my memory is fuzzy if I have memory of it at all, but I know I've heard of the Ozark Howler. Well, we've got five questions for you here, and let's see how you do.
    about the Ozark Howler. I figured we'd do something that was Missouri-centric because we're both in the area. Yes. And here's your first question of five. Let's see how it goes. This is an easy question. Which unusual physical feature is most commonly attributed to the Ozark Howler in local folklore? Is it thick ram-like horns on his head, leathery bat wings on its back, a long scaly reptilian tail, or Or feathered talons on its front paws. What do you think? Or I got a hint if you want to take a hint. Let's just go for it. I'm going to go with the feathered talons on its front paws. Feathered talons. Oh, man. Sorry. That buzzer is kind of harsh today. Witness accounts commonly describe the howler as a stocky, bear-sized feline sporting prominent horns.
    Interesting. Okay. Oh, boy. I've made it too big here. Okay. Next question, another easy question for you, number 205. You know, kind of a slow start, but that's fine. You'll be fine. You just got to get more than 50% to win here. I'll get it. In what primary geographic region is the Ozark Howler said to roam? The Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey? The Plateau and Mountain region of Arkansas and Missouri? the deep bayous and swamps of southern Louisiana, or the high desert plateaus of northern Mexico? I have a hint. Well, I think I know this one. I'm going to guess by its name. I mean, it makes sense to be New Jersey. I'm kidding. Don't quit. No, I'm going to go with the plateau and mountain region of Arkansas and Missouri.
    There you go. That's right. The Ozark Haller is tied specifically to the Ozark Plateau. Go figure. Across Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Interesting. Well, I most know it from Missouri. Right. I don't know how big the Ozarks are. I mean, it's a big space. We may look that up here in a minute. All right. This is a hard question. Number three. So you got one right, one wrong. Going into question three. In the 1990s and early 2000s, who orchestrated elaborate hoaxes involving fake sightings and emails about the Ozark Howler? Was it Chad Arment, Lauren Coleman, Ivan T. Sanderson, or Ray Wallace? I have a hint if you want it. Let's go with the hint. Cryptozoologist Lauren Coleman identified this trickster who flooded message boards with manufactured tails.
    Okay, so it's got to be Lauren Coleman. I'm kidding. Sorry. I guess he didn't say self-identified. Right. I think I got to go. My gut originally said Ivan T. Sanderson. So let's go with it. Are you sure? Want to call a friend or anything? Sounds like I should be. Let's go with it. Yes, let's go with Ivan T. Sanders. Oh, no. Of course, it's Chad. Chad Arment confessed to fabricating numerous accounts and sightings across Internet cryptozoology, zoological forums. Ivan T. Sanders is actually another cryptid explorer guy. He died a while back. Yes, his name was… with me. You never trust a Chad. Of course it's Chad. Yeah, it's always Chad. In every 80s movie ever, Chad is the jerk. That's right. Anyone whose name is Charles but chooses to go by Chad is a terrible person. That's right. It wasn't Chad in charge. It was Charles in charge. That's right. Everyone loved Charles. That's right. Charles, good. Chad, bad.
    Lauren Coleman is also a rather renowned cryptozoological researcher. And Alina from Decatur, Illinois. Anyhow. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Next. Vocalization is a medium question. How do traditional legends describe the signature sound made by the Ozark howler? Is it a rhythmic clicking sound like a giant mechanical clock? B, a combination of a wolf's howl and an elk's bugle. Or C, a piercing whistle reminiscent of a runaway steam locomotive. Finally, D, a harsh screech echoing across between an owl and an elk. I do have a hint if you'd like it. Okay. Using deductive reasoning, if it's called the Ozark Howler, I would think it's going to be between B and D. Okay. And I will say I'm starting to kind of get a picture in my head of what this Ozark howler looks like. I would imagine it would look kind of like a wolf. So let's go with the wolf's howl and an elk's bugle. Bugle. Okay, B. That's right. Pales describes its vocalization as an eerie mix of an elk's hollow bugle and a deep wolf howl. There you go. Nice. All right. Good deductive reasoning on your part there, Pounder. That's what I do.
    Ponder. I said Pounder. I'm sorry. All right. Next. So you got two. Get this one right. You get over your 50% and you win. Bragging rights, I suppose. Ready? Medium question. Which famous frontiersman was rumored in early tall tales to have shot and encountered the Ozark Howler in Missouri or Missouri, depending on which part of the state you're from. A. Davy Crockett. B, Daniel Boone? C, Jim Bridger? Or D, Kit Carson? I have a hint if you'd like it. Okay. So again, using deductive reasoning, there's a lot of tales of Daniel Boone traveling through Missouri. So that's what I'm thinking, but let's use the hint. Oh, you're going to go with the hint? Here we go. I'm going to go with the hint. He is renowned for his coonskin cap legend and settling along the Misso

Divorce him. Yeah. Welcome, everybody, to the Miles title extravaganza. Welcome to my playhouse house. Miles is going to sing Rammstein for us this week. Take it away, Miles. Oh, sometimes the sausages in the playhouse. Tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug. very good. Right. Yeah. Love the ramstein i don't i don't know i don't really listen. My son does i don't seems a little bit too dark for me. So I don't know if i don't know i don't know well i was uh
    in the city of Lights, oh, wait a minute, I wasn't, I was in the city of uh the dead recently east st louis that's right that's right city of unmarked graves that's east st louis yeah yeah city of no return yeah that's right right right some people say. Oddly enough, though, a lot of the people they find are not from the area. They're from other places across the river. Hmm. It's kind of like having a wish sandwich. Mm-hmm. Bow, bow, bow, bow. No, I was down at San Antonio, Texas until just a few hours ago. Has anyone gone down to San Antonio? I've been telling everybody that I'm like, you know, the Phil Collins Alamo collection is available to view. What? Phil Collins has an Alamo collection? It's crew t-shirts. Yeah, and he had all these artifacts he donated to the Alamo. Nobody believes me. They're like, what?
    I don't know. I still haven't looked this up yet. I don't know. I'm kind of skeptical here. You mentioned this off the air. I'm pretty skeptical on this. I'm like, oh, look it up. It's there. It's there. Yeah. So I was in the hottest hotel room I've been in in a long time. uh i mean you had like a lady of the night temperature wise i mean what temperature wise it's like oh okay you didn't okay you didn't have like a lady boy or something with you there? okay Come on now and then i don't know i don't know what you do there so i was there and uh like the air conditioner couldn't keep up in my room. It never got the lowest. I turned the thing all the way down, which maybe I shouldn't have done that. But I mean, are you like me? Whenever I go, I travel, especially in the summertime. As soon as I get in my, my room, I turn the air conditioner all the way down. And then I dropped my pad. No. And then, you know, you go to dinner or whatever, you come back. It's like crisp. It's like you're walking into a frozen wonderland. Right.
    Right, right. So I did that, and then I come back, and it's like a sauna. A sauna. It's a sauna. So then I suffered with the sauna for a few nights. I was there for almost a week. Yeah. And then, like, on the third night, somebody I was with were like, hey, I saw people getting fans on my floor, like box tickets. And I'm like, what? No, they're fans of Phil Collins. Genesis. So I immediately called the desk and asked for a fan. I got one. I got a box fan. It was mildly better. At least the hot air was moving around a little more. But I have not had that kind of experience. Now, this hotel was supposedly haunted. I did not have any haunted experiences, though. You didn't bring your equipment with you? I always bring my equipment, Miles. Oh, you mean my ghost hunting equipment? No, I'm not your dick. Yeah, no, I know. I'm just joking. No, I did not, because I heard it.
    I vaguely heard it was haunted, and as we were going from the airport into the hotel, our Uber driver was regaling us with the haunted stories from the hotel. Hey, man. No, she was a very nice lady, and we stayed at the Menger Hotel, which is a weird name, but Menger, which is like a really, really old hotel right next door to the Alamo. Oh, okay. You know, you could spit on the Alamo from the distance we were. Oh, nice. Yeah, exactly. If you really want to be a jerk. Yeah, well, you excel at that. So, yeah, we were right next to the Alamo and right across the street from the Crockett Hotel, which is another old, old hotel. Yeah. And I had dinner there one night, so…
    So you threw your weight around like, excuse me, I don't know if you know who I am, but I like a fan. I need a fan. That oscillates. Why do I sound like the family guy? Huh? You sound like the family guy. You sound like your Chief Wiggum. Oh, I'm Chief Wiggum, all right. No, so I got a fan, which was really, it cut the, you know, because the lowest my room got was 73. And it's like 90, you know, like 100 degrees outside. That's not acceptable for me. And I wouldn't even look at the thermostat after a while because it was so hot in there, like in the upper 70s. Yeah. But, you know, whatever. You're going to be all right? Yeah, I'll be all right.
    But it was an interesting old hotel, lots of cool stuff. But apparently there was some Sally, somebody who haunts the hotel. But I did not see anything. I was too busy upskirting in the lobby. I was too busy. I was there for work. Yeah, you always play that card. I didn't go out. I was there for work. I didn't do nothing. I'm the boss. I did go out to dinner on Saturday night. Oh, here we go. Salad. The salad rundown. Here we go. Salad rundown. Okay. Well, you're always bragging about your salad intake, so I'm waiting for it. I didn't eat salad on Saturday. Really? It was some type of crazy Mexican lasagna or something. I don't know what it was. I didn't.
    like it too much. Mexican lasagna. That's what see well that's the only way i could describe it. Okay. It was like had chicken and cheese and, uh, all your okay so what other stuff some kind of stuff in there. I don't know. So, uh, I was on my, I walked because it's about i don't So I was walking back and got to see all the good nightlife of San Antonio. Oh, okay. Like this one poor guy throwing up, leaning up against the building. It was a good one. Was it your brother? No, it wasn't. It was not your brother. It was some random guy. He was like… Wait, what did you have? The Mexican lasagna. It was like 1130, something like that. I got really late for me and made my way back. And there was a couple of Puerto Rican girls who were dying to meet me. They seemed to be looking for a good time or something. Somebody to have a good time.
    But there is… Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. There was quite the unhoused situation down there. But I'll tell you, now, you know, there's one thing that I cannot stand. Oh, here we go. Well, no, there's more than one thing. There's one thing in this story that I cannot stand. And that's panhandling. But all of the unhoused individuals, as the proper way to say it now, nobody panhandled me at all. But they all seem to be very hot. Like overwhelmingly hot sitting outside. It's too hot to panhandle. Yeah, it's so hot. How hot is it? It's too hot to panhandle. San Antonio is too hot to panhandle. Right. Even on the Riverwalk with the people who were hiding underneath the bridges that didn't get shooed away by the police did not panhandle.
    Too hot, man. Like, eh. Which I found rather intriguing, considering. I get peed almost everywhere else I go. Because I thought you were a woman. Like, I don't want any boob money, you know? I don't want any sweaty titty money. Yeah, we don't want that. So we're not going to… Here's a dollar. Liz Ugly Broad. Liz Ugly Broad. She ain't got no money. So yesterday evening on Sunday… The people that I was with, they wanted to do the little boat ride. Yeah. And so we did do that. And it was so sad. It was probably the saddest boat ride I've ever been on. You know, most of the time when you go on a boat, it's a joyous occasion. Okay. I've been on many boats. And every time people are smiling, it's a fun situation. Yeah.
    Right? Love something exciting and new. So our guide was Sisto. Let me, uh, Cisco. I'm sorry. Sisto is different. Okay. Was he a friend of yours? No, he wasn't a friend of mine. Cisco friend, friend, friend of mine. And Cisco was our guide. And we somehow, there was three of us all together. We somehow snuck on in front of a bunch of other people. Oh, nice. They line up to get on the boat, right? They fill up the boat. Yeah. Like, is there a group of three? And the first one of the people I was with was like, yes, we have three. And then we got to walk past all of these people who were really mad and get on that boat. Oh, I believe this. I 100% believe this. And then Sisto led us on. And he was really quite a good guy. So if you're down the Riverwalk, ask for Sisto. He's a good guy.
    But the boat was dead. It was a dead boat. Like all these hundred-year-old people there or something like that? No, it was young people. I mean, there was old people, but there was young people. And we were sitting back there laughing, and he was telling corny jokes and stuff. But I thought he was very clever, and he had a whole routine that he was doing
