[00:02:04] Wow. What up, peeps? Welcome to the Carolina Reaper Show. It's a PM magazine from the Carolinas that is also addicted to the cracked corn. And in this episode, we're going to talk about dire wolves, 22-year-old boat bros, idiotic TikToks, and look at this. Look at all these residual checks I got. I got more unopened Screen Actors Guild residual checks right here.

[00:02:34] I got like 16 of them. Someone's going to win one tonight. All right, because here in about a half an hour, we're going to start taking phone calls, and I'm going to pick three random phone calls. You guys are going to guess the amount. We're going to play a little game. How much is that Screen Actors Guild residual check? All right, but first, I want you to answer me this. What the H is a dire wolf? Put it in the comments section.

[00:02:59] All right, but I want you to know we're live 100% because I'll show you my phone. This is also how you know we're live. Look here. 8-0-4, April the 8th. So anything can happen right now. I've got two interns sitting over here, sitting here on the left with the Green John Deer hat and the camouflage zip-up flannel thing is my man, Jack Attack. How are you? What's up? Good. What's up, bro?

[00:03:27] And next to him is my man, Sergeant Mark, having eight balls deep. How are you? Going great. Yourself? Ladies, love you. Listen to that. All right, guys. I want to make sure that we've done everything we're supposed to do live. Did the Facebook reminder thing that I put up post? Yeah, I did. Okay. So in the comments section there, put the link to the YouTube thing. It's already in it. Did that. Okay. Ball, are we on YouTube? We are on YouTube and we're already communicating. Okay.

[00:03:57] Hey, everybody. Give me a name. One name. One name in the comments section. Rick Sanford III. We were talking about him prior to the show. Rick Sanford III. What's up, my man? I got your AI picture you sent me. Very funny. Me and Clay Aiken eating bacon as the, was it Lady and the Tramp? Very funny. I appreciate that. What's a dire wolf, Rick Sanford III? Put it in the comments section. That's what's trending recently.

[00:04:23] I don't know if you guys know about that, but this is our first segment. Oh, can we do the opening? Sorry, buddy. We have openings for things. When we get live, I get nervous and I forget. But we have an opening to this very first segment. Yeah, go ahead. I'm with it. I'm down. Oh, yeah. So what I do here is I go on your ex, formerly known as Twitter. I find what it is you're talking about. I weigh in on it.

[00:04:52] Oh, it's the best trends. Here's what you're talking about. Isn't that worth it? Dire wolves. Okay. So right off the bat, I've just been hearing that we've brought back a wolf that's been extinct for about 10,000 years. I've never heard of a dire wolf. I've heard of Beowulf. I've heard of Scott Beowulf.

[00:05:20] I've heard of werewolves. Never heard. I've heard of dire straits. But I don't know what a dire wolf is. Ball. Did you watch Game of Thrones? I did not. You did not? I watched the first season and then kind of gave up. Well, ironically. And it's not the show's fault. It's other circumstances. Well, ironically, they were a big part in the show, in the series. Of course, it goes back in time with everything. But George Martin actually got a chance to hold a new dire wolf.

[00:05:50] George Martin is? He's the writer for Game of Thrones. He's the creator. Oh, okay. So, he held a dire wolf that was extinct for 10,000 years? He held the new, unextinct version. Oh, there's new ones. There's new ones. There's three pups. This just in. This just in. They created two male pups and then in January, a female pup. And it's a company called Colossus Biosciences.

[00:06:19] And they're basically the legit version of Jurassic Park. Right. Okay. This is so funny. Did you know about this? I mean, yeah. I heard about it. Are you excited for dire wolf? I don't really care. It's just a wolf. Yeah. So. It's not that cool. What do you know about wolf? I mean, how is this? Okay. So, why was it extinct? And what does dire wolf mean? The word dire.

[00:06:47] Well, the reason they said it's extinct is basically its prey was also becoming extinct. So, it preyed on early bison, woolly mammoths, stuff like that. And it had a larger head. So, it's a bigger wolf. It's a bigger wolf. And so, what they did is they were able to extract DNA from some teeth that was about 13,000 years old and a skull, which was about 72,000 years old.

[00:07:12] And what they did is they used that extraction to genetically enhance the embryo of an actual gray wolf, which has a 99% genetic comparability. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they went from there. They didn't want to get large litters, so they end up with a small amount. I wonder, like, how they know 100%.

[00:07:36] Because even if they're using a gray wolf, I mean, isn't there still, like, 1% gray wolf in there? Yeah. And they said they're not going to be able to get it to be 100%. Okay. So, that's why they went in and tried to genetically modify it. So, it's not 100% dire wolf. No. It's like, yeah, what would you call that? You know, low dire? Yeah. Low direct. But the – Well, how big – I mean, like, give me some sizes here. What's – They're saying –

[00:08:05] A regular wolf is what? Probably about four and a half, five foot. This one's about six foot. It's going to have a wider head. It's going to have – Bigger head. The – Now, if they're going to bring this back, are they going to bring back the bison and the woolly mammoths that it snatched on? Well, that's the thing. Right now, they're on track. They're looking at introducing the woolly mammoth calf by 2028.

[00:08:32] How long before we see these out roaming the streets, these dire wolves? Well, just remember, it wasn't that long ago that we had random monkeys floating around in South Carolina. What is – That's true. So, I would say – I want to know the word dire. D-I-R-E. What does that mean? Just alone? Usually, with dire, it's usually extreme.

[00:08:59] In other words, like, if you're in dire straits, you're – Did you Google dire? Yeah, he's right. What does it mean? Extremely serious or urgent. Okay. So, this is an extreme wolf? Yes. Okay. You broke it down for me. It is a extreme, serious wolf. Now, is there a step above dire? Not that I know of. Let me find out real quick. Werewolf, I guess. Right?

[00:09:30] A werewolf turns into a human, yes? Yeah, that's where they genetically enhance the – Scott Baio from the Baowulf. Yeah, exactly. Now, what is a Baowulf? Do you know this? Yeah, I'm reading that in English right now. You're reading it right now. I hate that book. Tell me – It's so stupid. Well, can you give me a quick summary? No. I've used Spartanates. You won't or you can't? No, I can't. I can't at all. Okay. I couldn't either, man. I just remember Baowulf.

[00:09:58] I remember because our friend Michael Hauser, who's from Vail, Vail, North Carolina, and he loves the wolf pack, had a license plate that said Vail Wolf. And it was kind of like a little spoof of Baowulf. Alan, what do you know about Beowulf? I don't know anything about Beowulf. It's a Shakespeare thing? Yeah, it's Shakespeare. Okay. No, it's not. Yeah.

[00:10:27] Oh, no, it's not. Nope. It is – is it a book? Jack, please. Is it a sonnet? It's not Shakespeare. Yeah. Who would win, a Beowulf or a Dire Wolf? I got my money on Dire Wolf. I don't know. From what I remember, Beowulf is like really very evil. It is badass. It is huge. I know this also because we also called Shea Herman's girlfriend at the time Beowulf because we hated her.

[00:10:59] So now we have to find out what Beowulf means. And what do they say in the comments? My question about this whole wolf thing is that if Dire Wolf means serious wolf, right? Right. So what are all other wolves? Right. All right. Now what is the antonym of the word dire? Yeah. I mean, if they're not – I thought all wolves are – Pretty serious. Pretty serious. Oh, maybe it's like a – If a Dire Wolf is a serious wolf, then what are all the other wolves?

[00:11:29] A laughing hyena wolf. Or just a slacker wolf. Stoner wolf. I don't care. Stoner wolf. Yeah. Yeah. Like is there a famous wolf that's known for being a slacker? I mean, you've got werewolves, wolf pack, timber wolves. I don't know. Yeah. No, I need to know what a timber wolf is. So many wolves. Beowulf, go. Someone has had to look it up by now. It just –

[00:11:58] Do you know how to spell it? It's just the character. Yeah. It's B-O or B-E-O-W-U-A. And then what does it say? It just says – refers to the legendary Giedish hero. Yeah. Do you have to look it up? I mean, I've got it in front of me. It doesn't really say much. It's not got a real – When did Shakespeare write Beowulf? Click on the image. Get that out for us. What does Beowulf look like? What do you guys at home think about this?

[00:12:27] Do you know Beowulf? What is a Dire Wolf? I mean, what's so serious about this wolf? Just because it's big? Because it's white? Yeah. It's just like – But like all the pictures and everything we see, it looks pretty friendly. Yeah. It looks like a nice husky dog to me. Right now with them being pups, I can imagine what they would look like once they become adults. Right. Because right now, I mean, they've already got pretty good size considering they're only a few months old. They're very cute looking right now. Oh, they are. Yeah.

[00:12:58] Okay. Well, I cannot wait to see – Oh, he's a sweet boy. – where this goes. How many – Until he bears those teeth. So what is the opposite of the word dire? Good. Good? Yeah. No, it's not. Good or mild. Mild wolf. That's what we need. Mild wolves. All right. Anything in the comments section of note? How many people looking at us? Hey, everybody. We're live.

[00:13:26] A lot of them talk about the aspect with the different wolves and then going back to the different legends and stuff that's based off of it. The other thing was they moved up on me. That's fine. Yeah. Let's move on. Let's go on to our next segment. And don't forget, call in for some cash. Your chance to win some money. The number will be up shortly.

[00:13:57] But what I like to do here is go to – it's not just TikTok. It's any kind of reel. There's a lot of dumb ones, crazy ones. And this is how me and Boothang, my wife, Jody and I, when I'm on the road – oh, by the way, if you were at my shows in Walhalla or Clayton, this is the show I was telling you about. Thanks for watching. You like this shirt? I'll tell you more about that at the end as well.

[00:14:24] But how we pass the time when I'm on the road is we send each other these dumb reels that we see are idiotic TikToks. Last week we showed one of a guy in like gold shoulder pads with weird makeup, playing a guitar, talking about how Tom Brady kissed his son on the lips. And I said, we need to know more about this guy. And so I just went to his Instagram page called House Plant Band.

[00:14:53] Comedy, music, stuffs, and things. That's all I know about him. He's got 98, 9,860 followers. And if you scroll around, I guess that's everybody in the band, but it looks like this song has caught fire for him. And all these little reels are snippets of the song and that kind of stuff. Pick one at random, Alan. Let's just give it a whirl. Let's see what this is. With my daddy.

[00:15:40] With my daddy. Handshake is enough. It's the name of the song. We only saw a snippet of it, but it's all about that Tom Brady kissing his son. And he's got a whole Instagram page dedicated to it. So anyway, I thought if y'all want to know more about that guy, that's his page.

[00:16:10] House Plant Band. Pretty weird. Pretty out there. That's all I know about him. Let's go on to the next one, the Alan Jackson. I sent some other ones to you. Let's see what we got here. Okay. Now that I told everybody I'm going to be a granddad, TikTok's been listening as they do. And now these things pop up on my feed. You'll have to turn it up. Yep.

[00:16:43] 60. Sorry. Five years. Let me restart it. I can't hear it in here either. I don't know if it's different at home, but old deaf John Reap can't hear it at all. I've been living here for 16 months. No, you've been living here for 60 months. You're five. Five years. And I said, I said, Bob, when I grow up to be big, you better know something. What's it? I hope you told him.

[00:17:13] And I said, Bob. What? It's either Dad taking a bell, grow up in you. Or I'm going to tell him that you did an F word. Okay. And you said a bad word. And it was mean to me. And he pushed me off the hill at the crew house. I wonder where she learned this behavior. She's got a whole lot of this. Hey.

[00:17:41] And then I said, I'm going to tell him. That when I was jumping on the couch, you took one of my leg and you tripped me over. She's like talking about her brother. And one time I did it to him and I said, oh yeah. I said, you sure remember that. My mom, you know nothing about me.

[00:18:14] But he's your brother. You're supposed to love him. I said, listen. You have too much words coming out of your mouth. If you don't hush, then I'm going to smack your mouth. You don't hush. I'm going to smack your mouth. So that's what I got to look forward to. It's like foghorn leghorn put into a little tiny girl. Yeah. I say, I say. Yeah.

[00:18:43] I say, I say, this is him, boy. Yeah. That is adorable. How old do you think that girl is? Right in five years. Five. Yeah. Adorbs. So I got that to look forward to. Jack, did you get a sister? No. I'm the only child. Your only child? Yeah. Thank God. Yeah. Your parents are probably saying the same thing. Do you know who Corey Feldman is? No. Nope. Be thankful for that as well.

[00:19:13] Is this him? Yeah. So Corey Feldman, I'll give you a quick synopsis. Big, sort of an 80s, 90s star. Mostly mid-80s. Child actor. Child actor in the 80s. Did you ever see the movie Goonies? Yeah. He was in Goonies, among other things. But he's kind of gone crazy in the last 15 years, maybe? Okay. Where he thinks he, I don't know, he kind of dresses up and acts like Michael Jackson a little bit. Yeah, he did that for a while.

[00:19:43] And he pretends that he's talented at singing and music. He tried to push his own band and it's just, yeah. It's not that good. Go ahead, Alan. Are you about to say something? Okay. No. So I saw this video, because we've talked about Corey Feldman on this show before, and I thought this would be a nice circle back, because, you know, I went after him on TikTok and then he came after me. Like, he actually responded to me one time. Not TikTok, Twitter. Twitter, yeah.

[00:20:13] This is an old episode of Country-ish. Anyway, it's been a while since we've had some Corey Feldman news. I saw this today and I thought, oh, we've got to share this. Is he playing the harmonica? Go. And I'm sorry, I'm going to need it louder in here for me.

[00:20:52] That is the exact tune of Blue's Traveler. That's true. It's not even different. It's that hook. He's just lip syncing a harmonica. Anybody could do that if they were playing the music to someone else's harmonica playing. You could all fake it real simple.

[00:21:18] So, let me interject here, because I know this song really well. Do you? Yeah. So, the harmonica bit is a little different. It is. It's a little. Wait, are you saying Corey Feldman's playing this? I don't know. Wow. I'm just saying there are a few notes that are a little off from the actual recorded version. Now we've got to do back-to-back. I would guess that's a live version of that song.

[00:21:44] Okay, now he could have been playing to a live version of the song. Can we agree it ain't Corey Feldman? 100%. Moose is on my side. It's not Corey Feldman. But, yeah. Because he moves the harmonica in a weird way at different times. It doesn't sound like it goes with the notes. Corey does? Now, okay. But, Moose, you're right. I mean, how many times has Blues Traveler played this exact same thing over and over again? And it's not always going to be exactly the same.

[00:22:14] It could be a live version. So, yeah. It could be a live version. But, I would bet all the money I have that if there's some way I could prove this. Oh, yeah. That it is not Corey Feldman. You 100% can. You can watch the diaphragm not moving at all when you're going in and out. What a weird thing to try and fake. I mean, a very famous harmonica lick that we all know. Okay.

[00:22:42] Do you think that maybe the person who comedian Omar Tarango just overlaid the music over for you? Oh, good one. Okay. Thank you, Moose. Now, click on that dude. The Alan Jackson. Click on that comedian Omar Tarango. If you look down there, it says one day ago. Yeah. Boom.

[00:23:12] I mean, I wonder if he's done anything like this before. You know what I mean? Okay. Oh, my God. Corey. Let's see what that is. OMG, Corey. Do you know who that is now? What? Do I know? Did you ever see Stand By Me? Oh, yeah.

[00:23:42] So, he's one of the kids who stand by me with the glasses on. Okay. Anyway, so maybe this guy, this comedian. He's overlaying the real deal over top of Corey. Yeah, I think that's what it is. I think he's getting a recording. I think it's Corey Feldman's trying to play that song or sing that song, but they're laying in like a much better recorded version of it by somebody else. Okay.

[00:24:12] On both of those tracks, you think that? I think so. Okay. Now, I know we're not going to have time to do it because it would take a minute to figure out. The original video that we just watched with Corey Feldman trying to play a harmonica, what did that actually sound like? The original video. Like where this comedian got that original video from. Jack Attack, how old are you? 17.

[00:24:41] So, you're supposed to be good at this internet stuff. Yeah, I'm looking it up right now. Okay. That's why you're here, buddy. Hook. JK. Just JK. JK. But, I'm wondering if it exists. Okay. Maybe. I don't know. I mean, there it is. What the hell is he wearing? Who knows? What is that? That's not him. That's not Corey Feldman. Obviously, that's not. Yeah.

[00:25:13] Any interesting thing in the comment section, Bull? Oh, here we go. Y'all nailed it. Moose, you got it. Okay. We got it. We figured it out. Okay.

[00:25:42] That's all I need. Okay. Mystery solved. In his defense, not really that bad. I mean, he's playing it there, but it ain't what's-his-face from Blues Traveler. John Popper. John Popper. He got a long way to go. All right, let's go on to the next TikTok guy. I sent the Alan Jackson. Let's see what else we got. I think there was another one. Oh, crap. Is this real? Oh, I saw this.

[00:26:09] I want somebody to confirm if this is a real thing or not. And if it is, I want one. How much is it? And where do I get it? Can I get this at Best Buy? It's a robot horse. Come on now. Wow. I don't know if it's real. I wouldn't be surprised.

[00:26:40] That looks pretty fake to me. Yeah. So that's all it is. I saw this robot horse, and I thought, D. Alan Jackson has to know if it's real or fake. This is the first I've heard. Thoughts. I was going to say, supposedly it's real. It's Kawasaki. I guess they moved from motorcycles.

[00:27:08] It says they unveiled a hydrogen-powered ride-on robot horse. Hydrogen-powered. So, okay. I think the shots you see of it- You can turn the audio down now. How fast do you think it is? I think the shots you see- Your mic shut off. Sorry, buddy. So you think it's real, Moose? I'm sorry. Okay. Ball? Go ahead, Alan.

[00:27:37] I think the shots you see of it in the showroom at the beginning- That's real. Might be real. Yeah. But this is not- I think the shots of it actually moving- Right. Are not real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I want it to be real. I do, too. I do, too. I would totally just ride that to work every day. Yes. Now, I guess that would be a motorized vehicle, right? Like, if this were street legal, it's not a wheel, but it is motorized.

[00:28:07] Do you need a driver's license for this? I don't know if it would go in a bike lane, or does it go on the road? Here's a real question. I think you can give it- How many horsepower is it? Apparently, one. I don't know. One robotic horsepower. It looks like one horse, but yeah. I mean, isn't that what horsepower is meant to be? Is like, if it's one horse- Yeah. Right. Single- Walking, that's one horsepower? Do you think you can get DUI driving it? Right. I was thinking- What if- Yeah, that's a good question.

[00:28:37] If this horse is driving itself, because it has its own brain, and you're not the one driving, you're just sitting on it, and you're not in control of it, how can you get the DUI? You know what I mean? Like, that's going to happen with electric bikes, too. You'll just put in a GPS address, and just- That'd be sweet. Yeah, it's not far away. You know, another aspect, too. Kind of like Uber. If it breaks a leg, do you put it down? Yeah. Right.

[00:29:05] Yeah, you got to mercy kill a robotic horse. We can't fix it. And will this replace horse bedding and horse tracks? Huh? What do they say in the comment section, Bob? I was looking that up. So, one of the things they were talking about earlier was the- Oh, you're getting ready. I'm listening. The talking about with Corey Feldman, they were talking about Milli Vanilli. Remember that reference? Oh, yeah. Milli Vanilli. Yeah.

[00:29:35] But he wasn't doing that himself. That was the comedian doing it for him. But it was nice, ironically, to see that reference. So, there's another 80s reference. Jack, have you ever heard of Milli Vanilli? Actually, I have. Yeah. Because of that one show. The documentary. The documentary, yeah. It was a good documentary. Yeah. Kind of makes you feel bad for them in a weird way. I think they were- One guy killed himself. Yeah. Okay, let's move on to the next segment. That is our idiotic TikToks. I want to-

[00:30:05] This could fall into the category of idiotic TikTok, but it's not a TikTok. It's a video. It's been going around. Everybody's probably seen it by now. The angry boat captain. Fisherman boat captain argument goes viral in video. Viewed millions of times. I have my opinions. I've only seen a couple of highlights from this thing. I think the whole thing's probably- Oh, that's only two minutes. Let's watch a little bit of it, and then we'll weigh in on it.

[00:30:35] Here we go. In case you haven't seen it, this is what we're talking about. I'm 300 days a year on the f***ing water. All right, bro. Every day, I'm the best totter captain you'll ever meet in the- All right, bro. Boat rage between two fishermen captured on video that's now gotten millions of views online. It happened this week under the bridge between Port Charlotte and Putt-A-Gorda. The viral video has captured the attention of Bay Area fishing channels and red pages, with many re-sharing and commenting on it.

[00:31:04] 10 Tampa Bay's Chris Hurst walks us through what happened and the ending. Okay, here we go. Is he coming? Bro, you ran right through the middle of the bridge while we were all fishing. Monday night, Gage Tolles has his chest camera recording when a charter captain accuses him of boating without lights on and cussing him out, previously one morning on the Peace River. What are you trying to do, bro? What am I trying to do? What are you trying to do, bro? I pause it. You want to f***ing go? I don't want to f***ing go. I want-

[00:31:33] How many times- I think this kid should get his ass whipped for using the word bro too many times. There should- You get a three bro maximum. Any more than that, those are like, you're inviting a fight. And when he says, what are you trying to do? That's a, like, do you want to go? Do you want to fight me? I kind of wanted to fight him after hearing him start to talk a little bit. Please tell me you don't use bro too much. No, you can't use it too much.

[00:32:02] You can't use it. That's what this kid made the mistake. He felt safe on his boat because the boat was separate. You know, it's not land. It can't get to me. I'm on a boat. The guy was going too fast. He yelled something at him. He was recording. So now he has to be provocative because he's recording this for his gram or his TikTok. And the guy confronts him and says, what, what, what? And he goes, what are you trying to do, bro? And he calls him bro too many times. Yeah, I agree. And- I'm playing it back here. Watch.

[00:32:32] The guy cannot back it up. Yeah. Here we go. Gage Tolles has his chest camera reporting when a charter captain accuses him of boating without lights on. Yeah. And cussing him out. Let's count the bros. Previously one morning on the Peace River. What are you trying to do, bro? Four bros. What am I trying to do? What are you trying to do, bro? You want to f***ing go? I don't want to f***ing go. I want you to get the f*** out of here. Tolles is alone. All right. Yeah. So far. There were five bros. So far.

[00:33:04] All bets are off at this point. Yeah. Anything can happen. Yeah. Okay. So we're at five. But here's what I want you to notice. The 180 from tough guy bro, bro, bro to how he immediately turns into a child when this guy confronts him. Like, I am saying yes to your invitation to let's go. And he is like, no, I'm a child. He's 22 years old.

[00:33:34] Here we go. All right, go ahead. That's five bros, by the way. Several others are with the captain. Dude, all these f***s know I'm tough. Bro, all right, bro. Two bros, one sentence. Get going, bro. We're all f***ing war veterans. We're all rambles. Well, thank you for your service, bro. And you're going to talk to you. Thank you for your service, bro. But that doesn't give you the right. The argument goes back and forth for minutes before the captain escalates. I'm the best target captain you'll ever meet.

[00:34:01] How is it the captain escalating? All the captain is doing is responding and retorting. It could have been escalated by that kid saying, all right, look, sorry, I'm just, I'm going to leave. Or just stop talking. You're outnumbered, bro. You know, there's four guys who are veterans and you're by yourself. This is just called a fact of life.

[00:34:29] Sometimes you need to get your ass whipped to learn a lesson. I learned it when I was a ninja with Danny Neeland around Easter time. You don't mess with grownups at certain points. Look at it. So here we go. There were, he threw 10 bros at him. That was 10 bros. I mean, that's, all he's doing is amping this guy up. You know, it's just like he's building it up. Yep. It's going to explode. And now, and now, not only that, but you got your friends with you.

[00:34:59] You can't back down from this 22-year-old kid after calling you bro and saying, do you want to go, basically? Let's go. What do you want to do? I mean, do you say anything? I'm totally with this, I'm totally with this other guy. Yeah, but the media is making it look like the captain, the older guy is in the wrong. And he probably is. He probably shouldn't have got off of his boat on his boat. But this is the streets, man. Oh, oh, does he get off his boat? Oh, keep going. We're at 10 bros right now.

[00:35:27] But also pay attention to the kid's voice. All right, bro. All right, there's another bro, by the way. All right, bro. You're already escalating. You're already escalating. I'm the best target captain you'll ever meet in your... All right, bro. If you cuss me out... Chill, bro. Chill, bro. Please, bro. Don't hit the... Okay, please, bro. Please, bro. Please, bro. Bro, I'm a kid, bro. Please. I apologize. Oh, I'm sorry, bro. Tolls turns his boat around. The captain gets off, then leaves.

[00:35:56] In 24 hours, the video has been shared thousands of times and viewed millions more across social media with people commenting. So glad you filmed this. So glad you're safe. Wow. Wait. They're calling the other guy a psychopath. Mm-hmm. Yeah, every... The media is making the captain look like the bad guy. From what I know, he didn't hit the kid. He just came on the boat and scared him. No, he didn't even touch him. Right. He got on his boat.

[00:36:26] And the guy said, please, bro. Please. Right. Please, bro. Oh, my God. What a puss. This kid's a puss. He is. When he actually said, I'm a kid. Oh. After saying, what do you want to do, bro? To... I'm a kid. Please. Please. I'm a 22-year-old child. I wish he got his ass whipped.

[00:36:53] That's why I'm not on the side of this kid. I mean, what else is in here? I haven't rewatched all of it. That's all I needed to see. That is horrible. And you handled that better than most. Do it again! How did he handle that better? He's... All he did is expose himself for being a gigantic puss. He called out a guy, irritated this guy. Yeah. Kept talking up this guy.

[00:37:21] And when the guy actually got to him and got near him, he... He's grand. That's a total Ric Flair move. Remember how Ric Flair would, like, run his mouth and then go... You know, his knees begging not to get hit? That's what this stupid kid did. God. What the f*** is that? What's his name again? Punta Gorda police are now investigating, confirming tonight it's working with Fish and Wildlife and the Coast Guard on possible charges. Possible. Yeah. Possible charges. Possible. Charges.

[00:37:51] Yeah, charging that kid with... Yeah. Too many bros. I'm sorry, bro. Too many bros. I'm sorry. I mean... He broke the bro code. What's the bro count so far, Moose? Did you keep counting? Because he kept going. I mean... I think at last count, it was like 12, I think. God. He rifled in at least three or four bros. One on the screen, I think. Yeah. There's one on the screen, too. I'm sorry, bro. But he definitely did say bro at least three different times while he was on the bro. Dude. Dude. Dude. Dude.

[00:38:20] I'm guilty of saying man or dude. Like, you know, before, because all we know is like, hey, dude, or what's up, man? But there must have been a time where no one said man or dude that often. Right? Well, I think the thing is, bro is like a word. It's like man or dude. Yeah. And that there's two different ways you could say it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Dude. You could say it like he was saying in the first half of the video. Yeah, yeah. Bro. Come on, bro. Yeah.

[00:38:50] Man, you're looking to talk some smack, all right? But you can, like he did at the last part of the video, saying, oh, I'm so sorry, bro. I'm sorry. Yeah, no. I'm actually your brother now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I am your brother. We are brothers. You should not kick my ass. Huge puss. We are brothers. All right. All right. We got to keep moving on. But yeah, what the H? What a puss. What's his real name again? I wonder if we can scroll back to that story. His name's Gage something. Gage.

[00:39:21] God. He puts the gay in gauge. Gage towels. Gage towels? Bro. What kind of name is that, bro? What the hell? What a wuss. I want to go look him up. Are you logged into my account? Go look up Gage towels. I'll look him up. Let's befriend him and talk to him. I want to have him on the show. You think he'll zoom in? Jack, if you try and talk to him, you're more his age than me. I'll just say bro a bunch. Yeah, just go, hey, bro.

[00:39:51] I don't know if you know this, bro, but you were featured on our podcast, bro. Throwing a brosus. Okay. All right, let's move on. What are your thoughts? Leave it in the comments section. Are you on the captain's side or the pussy's side? Yeah. Sorry, Mom. All right. Let's move on to something a little bit lighter. Love on the Spectrum. New season out right now. Me and Boo Thing binge watched it.

[00:40:21] Season three is now out. And it is, I've said it before, every year it comes out, it's one of the best things you'll ever watch. You will, it's heartwarming. It's a lot of love. It's actually a lot of love going on. And you will laugh, you will laugh with them and you'll be crying with them. It's, all the emotions are in this. I really suggest watching.

[00:40:51] And that one, that's one of my favorite girls. Anyway, if you're looking for something to watch besides, you know, Carolina Reaper, check it out. All right. Should we take a quick break? Or do we just keep going? Let's keep going. We got residual checks. Let's keep going. We got residual checks. Has anybody called in yet? I'm wondering if there's anybody on the line. Because I put them. You haven't even put up the phone number yet. I did on the video. Okay. Bro.

[00:41:22] I'm just wondering if anybody's called in yet because I put a video up on Facebook and Twitter with the phone number. Yeah. And the phone number is down there. Ready to connect. So. Click connect to show now. If you want a chance to win one of these here residual checks, start calling that number. We're going to take three phone calls at random. And then I'm going to open one of these checks. I'll tell you what it's for. What movie? What TV show?

[00:41:51] And then you call in with the guest. Closest person to the actual amount wins the check. Let's read some comments from last week while we get people calling in. All right. So last week I said, did you get April fooled? Samantha Dawn Kingston. Now, Mark, this is what you were trying to tell me. And I know how it works. It goes away and you're probably jotting down notes. You didn't get it exactly right. And I apologize for my words out. But now I want to set the record straight.

[00:42:17] Samantha Kingston said, a guy at work got me today. He said, my scrub pants were on backwards. And I looked down. That's okay. I said, his shoes were untied. And then he looked down, but he don't have legs. There you go. He was a patient. Yes. So the way you put it together, it was hard for me to follow. There we go. In case you were hanging on every word from last week.

[00:42:44] Dustin Bosley will be at the Huntsville, Texas in front row, buddy. What's the front row? Is that like the front row? Jelly roll. Jelly roll. I'll bring some biscuits. The rafters will be shaking and the biscuits will be baking, Dustin Bosley. Tell all your friends. And then if you know anybody, Colleen, tell them too. LiveFit5D said, so glad I found this. We are glad you found it as well.

[00:43:13] Now share it with other people. Samantha said, we need another prom. I don't disagree with you. You can only get married once. Yeah. That's the only reason we did the prom is because it was a secret wedding. But we could do another one. Did everybody have a good time at the prom? Absolutely. I mean, we could do it again. We'll talk about that. Andy Allman. I used a Sharpie. Oh, yeah, we were asking about April Fool's pranks.

[00:43:38] I used a Sharpie and wrote on my friend's legs when he was passed out drunk. He found out when he changed into his shorts at work. I think that's a rite of passage. Have you done that to anybody yet? Somebody did it to me. My whole face was covered. This is great. That's racist, though. Yeah. If it's the whole face. Not like my whole face, but it was so bad that it printed onto my pillowcase. Oh, man. Was it like writing or was it symbols?

[00:44:07] Yeah, it was like swastikas. Oh, no. I was going to ask you if there's pictures, but don't look them up. Don't ever share them. I don't want to even near my show. You're trying to get your butt beat. We're trying to get us canceled of even saying it. No, we did that. My buddy Joel one time passed out, and we chopped glasses on him, okay? And then just random things. A mustache, of course. But then he didn't wake up.

[00:44:36] We thought he would wake up, but he was really drunk. So what we also did, we gave him... It took us like five Sharpies to do this. But we gave him black socks. Like from his shin down, all black. So it looked like he was wearing black socks. They did inside my earlobe. Oh, my gosh. That's great. That's just good stuff. That's what you do. John Boy at 1979. Hi, everyone.

[00:45:03] Here's my April Fool's prank that I pulled on my younger brother when we were teens. I used to play the drums starting when I was a kid, and it lasted throughout my high school years. One April 1st morning, while my brother was still asleep, I grabbed my ride cymbal and brought it into his bedroom, sat it beside his bed, and then bashed it several times with my drumstick.

[00:45:28] It scared the absolute shit out of him, making him jump out of bed with the quickness. LOL. Best prank I ever pulled. The end. Thank you, John Boy, 1979. Anytime you wake up somebody with a very loud noise, that's a good one. That's classic. I love the garbage can, lids. Military. Military. You guys did that. They beat that to get us out of the bunks. Roseanne Henshaw, she says,

[00:45:55] If the University of Pennsylvania went by Pennsylvania University, it would be P-U. And that would stink. Josh Gidcum. Oh, no. Is that right? Gidcum? How do you say that? Gidcum. I thought there was a crumb in there. I think it was a boss move. Probably the only funny thing that night on the show.

[00:46:25] I don't know. I don't watch much SNL. Yeah, talking about when Morgan Wallen walked off. Dana Dollar. Well, I'm fun. Damn it. I saw drum eatenton at the Piggly Wiggly today, and I smiled at the SOB. Now, what is that from? Is that from Fried Green Tomatoes? Oh, did I just get that right? Hey. What's what from? That quote. Someone Google.

[00:46:54] I saw drum eatenton at the Piggly Wiggly today, and I smiled at the SOB. That's a quote from a movie, I believe. It might be Fried Green Tomatoes. I'm going to be super impressed. Me too. On that, John. And I promise you, I did not research that. Steel Magnolias? Steel Magnolias! Oh, very close. Very close. That's very close. All right.

[00:47:19] Well, speaking of Diana Dollar, she is this week's Reap's Peep of the Week! Diana Dollar, everybody. Look. There is her YouTube channel. Let's all go subscribe to it. Let's show her the love as she has showed us. Right? There she is.

[00:47:43] He's got stuff about Sydney Mays, 23 videos, Zeb spray painting, and a birthday song. Okay? I wonder if we should play one of those. I don't know. What is a Sydney Mays? Is that a person? I think it's music, it looks like. What about, which one do you want to watch? Sydney Mays, Zeb spray painting, or a birthday song? Alan has chosen Sydney Mays. Okay.

[00:48:13] Beautiful. Oh, I thought that was it. This is Walk Away. Suggested by Reap's Peep of the Week, Diana Dollar. And we're good. Thank you, the Ellen Jackson. Sounds like psychedelic music or something. It does, man. It's like totally out there. All right. How many people do we have on hold, the Ellen Jackson? I think it's time to give some money away. Have people called in? We got some people on hold.

[00:48:43] That's right. Call this number right now for your chance to win one of my Screen Actors Guild residual checks. I got 16 of them here. We got some people on hold. Let's do this. All right. So right now, you people at home watching this show right now. Look. It is 8. 8.50 p.m. That's how you know I'm live.

[00:49:12] Give me a number between 1 and 16. Ball, the first number that you see. I want you to tell me what the number is. Between 1 and 16. And we will use that person's number to choose which check. Roseanne Henshaw, number 12. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. There it is. You need to stretch after that one. That's right. All right.

[00:49:41] I'm going to open the check down here where no one can see it. I'm going to tell you what it's for. Oh, boy. Okay. All right. So if you want to play, you better start calling in. Now, if you're not familiar with this game, let me describe it a little bit one more time. Some of you might be new to the show. I'm not just a comedian. I'm not just a podcaster. I'm an actor. I have been in some movies, sitcoms, TV commercials.

[00:50:08] I've done some adult films I'm not proud of. And any time they air one of these things, they have to pay me. They're called residual checks. I get them in the mail all the time. Screen Actors Guild after residual checks. And what I do here is I just open one live just right now. I opened it in front of y'all. I'm going to tell you what it's for. What movie? What TV show? Then we're going to take three random phone calls. And then you guys guess how much the check is.

[00:50:36] The closest person to the actual amount is going to win that check. It is a game that I like to call How Much Is That?

[00:50:49] So this check is for one episode of Eastbound and Down on HBO Chapter 23. And this is for foreign high-budget programming.

[00:51:19] I've never seen this before. Foreign high-budget programming. You're probably just showing it in Pakistan. Yeah, obviously. Jack, how much is this check? What did you say it's called? Eastbound and Down. Oh, I didn't do that. That show right there. I thought you were saying whatever foreign. Yeah, okay. So here's how we do it, right? The show is Eastbound and Down. How they're showing it. Is it TV? Is it pay TV? Is it streaming?

[00:51:48] This one, this market is called Foreign High-Budget Program, which means overseas. Foreign as in not America. Yeah, I'll get like 30 cent. 30 cent. All right. Ball. I'm thinking since this is, like you said, first time that you've seen that. Don't forget the word high-budget is in there. Oh. Yeah. So I'm going to go $42.95. $42.95. You're both locked in.

[00:52:18] Now, one of these guys is closer than the other. No one got it right. But if you're trying to figure out how do I gauge my guess, the closest person between these two is Mark Ball, not Jack. All right. Spin the ball of balls, Ball. Let's get some callers. What number do we have? 22. Caller number 22, the Alan Jackson. Let them on into the showroom, and let's see if they can do better than Ball.

[00:52:48] All right. They're in the room. Hi there. If you can hear my voice, tell me your name. Hello. You're on the show. What's your name? Bro. What's your name, buddy? Yes. Caller number 570-862-something-or-other. Can you hear me? Yes. What is your name? Casey.

[00:53:19] Casey. One more time. Casey. Casey? Yes. How do you spell it? C-A-S-C-Y, like Casey in the Sunshine Band, Casey at Bat. Are y'all hearing Casey? Casey. Hey, Casey. She's trying to say Casey, but it's coming out Keithy. It might just be the phone reception. Okay. All right, Casey. Where are you calling from? Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania.

[00:53:49] What part? Philadelphia? Yep. Oh! Dang, I'm good. Okay, Casey. What do you do for a living? I work for a family-owned company. A family-owned company. Hmm. Something like, let's try and guess a big family. Kern's Bakery. I'm just kidding. What's the family name? Epstein?

[00:54:17] Um, no. Um, my boss owns it. It's called Cable Associates. We do fiber optic cable. Oh, I like that. That's pretty big here in Hickory as well. We got Corning and, uh, what's the other one? Corning and, um, what's the other big one? Comscope. Comscope and Corning. Big companies right here in Hickory, North Carolina. So, okay, Casey from, uh, Philadelphia who works for a family-owned company with cable.

[00:54:48] Um, you ever watch this show, Eastbound and Down on HBO? I have not, but I'm a huge fan of yours. What? Well, thank you. I am. I'm a huge fan of yours. Wow, Casey. That makes me so happy. Now I'm rooting for you to win this whole thing. Um, but I, I do want you to know I'm married, okay? So, take it easy with the flirting. My wife is watching. Don't worry. I'm pretty much married too. Okay, good.

[00:55:17] Pretty much. All right. How much is this check, Casey? Um, well, I heard 42, I think. And then... Well, he was the closest one. Jack said 30 cents. Um, let's go, um... Somewhere in the middle. Mm, somewhere in the middle. So, we're going to go, uh... Mm, 40. $40 even. Lock her in.

[00:55:46] Okay, don't hang up, Casey. We're going to take two more phone calls. So far, you're winning. Spin the ball of balls, Sergeant Ball. Pick a number. Okay, 42. Caller number 42. The Ellen Jackson, when you're ready, let caller number 42 into the showroom. 42 is in the room. Hi there. This is John Reap. What is your name? Roseanne Henshaw. Roseanne Henshaw.

[00:56:17] Jack, that's something we do in Roseanne. Yeah, sorry. I never... I don't have good rhythm, you know. I believe you. Okay, Roseanne, how's it going? How's it going? I mean, I did have a problem where I fell. I learned the... I learned physics the hard way. She learned what the hard way? Yeah, I learned the laws of physics. Physics. Got you. Yeah. All right, well, let's hear it.

[00:56:46] I messed my finger up, gave myself a nice black eye, and it's all healed mostly, but I still have a little ridge on my head. I feel like I'm a Cro-Magnum. Would you fall down or something? Yeah, I fell down. I hit the sidewalk. Roseanne, you've got to stop doing this stuff. You already got a bad shoulder. Well, I had a bad shoulder now. I've got kind of like a knobby knee and... How much is this check, Roseanne?

[00:57:16] Okay, and I'll give you a sound effect too. Oh, yeah, give me a sound effect. Well, I've got two minutes left. Okay. That... Okay, that... That's shaving cream coming out of a can. Nope. Sounds like a vape. A vape. Nope. Ball. I'm going with the wins from Helene. Nope. What is it?

[00:57:44] It's soda coming out of the soda machine. Damn. Good one. All right. Is that your guess? Okay. The amount here is $35.40. $35.40. Lock her in. All right. Then, let's go to the next phone call. Do not hang up. No one's got it exactly right. We're going to take one more. What's the number? Next one is 16. Caller number 16. Let him into the showroom. Let's see if we can give this money away in one minute.

[00:58:14] All right. Now, caller number 16. All right, here's the room. If you can hear my voice, tell me your name. This is Damien. Daniel? Damien. Damien. Oh, like the Antichrist. Yeah, buddy. Not really. Wasn't that movie The Omen? Wasn't Damien like the evil kid's name? Okay. Damien, what do you do for a living? I'm a long old truck driver, buddy.

[00:58:42] Hey, thank you for your service, Damien. I'm out there on the streets. I'm out there on the streets all the time. I always look out for you guys. I always let you over when you need to get over. Well, you're one of the few that actually does that, but I appreciate it. Well, if you see a guy in a Honda hybrid passport, silver, all right, you'd be nice to him. All right. So, how much is this check, Damien? Even 50 bucks. 50 bucks.

[00:59:12] Yep. All right. Lock him in. All righty. Now, no one got it exactly right, but obviously somebody got closest, and the closest person to the actual amount of this check, I'll tell you the least closest person was Damien with 50 bucks. Very optimistic. I appreciate you playing, buddy. Second place, all the way from Casey, I'm sorry, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia is Casey. Second place.

[00:59:42] That means number one is Roseanne Henshaw. Her guess was 3540. The actual amount of this check, $17.42. Woohoo! Roseanne. What are you going to do with all that cash? I think this time I'll kind of keep it because you still owe me that little hand sanitizer and some other goodies and stuff like that.

[01:00:11] So, the people who listen to the show the longest, when they do call in and I do get them on the phone, I owe them something. Like something bad happened in the past, and it's like, well, I never did get that one handkerchief, you promised me. It's usually like a tiny thing. Roseanne, I'm going to have Mark Ball send you this check. Hand sanitizer. You want a koozie, too? How about some barbecue sauce or hot sauce? I've been anchored today.

[01:00:42] Now she's demanding. All right, I'll throw in some barbecue sauce, Roseanne, because you're a loyal listener, and we love you. Full card of groceries. Thank you. All right. Thank you for everybody who called in. That is how we play. How much is this? All right, listen, we're going to wrap this show up. Not this coming weekend, but my next gig will be in Cherokee, North Carolina at the Comedy Zone inside of Harris Casino. That's April the 23rd.

[01:01:10] Then on the 24th, Cornelius, North Carolina at the Kane Center for the Arts. Beautiful big venue. It's a big charity event called Yay Day. And then on the 25th, I'll be in Huntsville, Texas. On the 26th, Killeen, Texas. On the 30th, Ridgefield, Washington. More dates for the whole year can be found at carolinareaper.com.
