Hey, you should have run away with this team. Well, well, at least Spirit Airlines didn't kill you.

Martins. Yeah, yeah, nice job. That's a I really thought I had.

Sol asyl Yeah.

I know.

That was a great guest.

That's got to be a little early for them, right, maybe late eighties, Yeah.

Probably not midle look at it, not by much.

Probably, yeah, because they hit it big early nineties, which yeah, probably.

They were I wosed to do. And all these Yeah, soul Asylums started in seven.

Oh my gosh, it says years active eighty one present, So that wasn't a bad guess at all. Soul Asylum is an American hock band form in nineteen eighty one in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

You met all those guys, HOWK It wasn't right? Wow, but awesome you were like that. I can't remember since I won my last game.

I can't either.

It was before the tourney.

Chris, Chris think about that though. That is weird, right, because they hit it big in ninety three with Runaway Train.

Right.

They had a you know, somebody to shove and stuff fin right, but Runaway Train was the one that went national.

And they were a huge, huge deal.

I think about grinding for twelve years and probably making a living, but just grinding, and then you hit it big twelve years in right.

There must have been so many times like this is this is.

Never going to work, We're not going to hit and then you write one or two songs and it changes everything.

Man, And they were a pretty big deal on the local circuit for quite some time. But what a great fertile ground in Minneapolis was back then. I love that.

Man.

You had everybody from Prince down the street doing things so technically perfect and making his band rehearse twelve hours a day, and then on the other side of town you had the replacements who didn't hardly know how to play their instruments, and he had everything in between.

It's just the best, man, the best.

What a great time it must have been.

To live here.

Speaking of Prince, I have no idea if Chris Tucker was exaggerating this story, but again, I don't know.

How these things pop up on my algorithm on.

Instagram, but I saw Chris Tucker telling a story about getting invited to Prince's house and he didn't quite understand that Prince just performs whenever he wants in his house, as often as he wants. And he was at a party and he meant that Prince is very short, and he said he hadn't really seen Prince much, and he was standing in the kitchen and he just heard eh, and he didn't know what that meant. And then he

That's funny, no idea, that's very.

Fun But can you how where would that be even if you know.

He's Prince and he's being strange to be strange, anybody hear that, what is that weird noise? And it's Prince standing behind you just trying to get your attention.

Haven't you guys ever heard David Allen Greer's story about Prince on Howard I don't know you said they were at the Beverly Hills Hotel and Prince kept calling David Alan Greer and saying that somebody is singing in the wall, and they're like, come on, it's this isn't happening, And then he kept calling and calling and calling, and finally David Allen Greer shows up and he knocks on the door. It's like three thirty in the morning, and Prince is in full get up, full guard, and he says, somebody's

Truly.

Yeah, yeah, she like found out what room he was in and was singing to him behind her to try to get into his band or something. I don't know, to like be around him, I guess. Yeah, it's a pretty worked way better. But yeah, it's pretty funny.

Wow, I thought you were going to say at some point that it was just Prince trying to get David Allen Greer's attention.

He just wanted to I think I can hear them? How far you? Oh my, do you hear her? Gotta be behind the drywall. She could be in Prince's band, I can tell.

I have a question, though, Why did he call David Allen Greer?

I don't understand that party either. Well, I mean he could have called the Did he just know.

David Ellinger was staying in the same hotel with him or something like that.

Yeah, that is right.

Why wouldn't you call the front desk and go what is going on in the room next to me?

Yeah? Unless you just don't want Randos to be up there because your prints, you'd have to.

Fire in my apartment. I called Tom Bernard.

Oh wait, is that your Bernard impression? Do it again? Hello? He's going on? Do like a longer sentence than that. Hello, call me back. Why is your apartment on fire? Is this hawk? I'm so sorry? That's not him. That's not very good.

Should we do a quick sketch or skit where you're Bernard and I'm Roysy and they have a conversation in nineteen eighty seven?
