Sometimes it's hard to communicate with people who are close to you, or maybe people you have a close working relationship with. It's a human condition. Start off each story, they'll be using our trustee sentence

generator in the sky as a jumping off point. Improvised a show in three acts. This is This is Americans Life, Stay with us ectline. The lyrics of the song sounded like fingernails on a chalkboard. It seemed appropriate given the fact that he was a music producer, and he was running out of options, so you just created different kinds of sounds to help keep his job. Alright, alright, band meeting,

everyone getting together, get get together. Look, we all know that our last two albums for fucking will you Flopsy Flopsick Flopsy, Propsy Populations.

Oh my girlfriend, Oh my girlfriend is the first line. The second line is and it's just the sound of nails on a facking chalkboard for three minutes and twenty seconds following. Now, look, you may be saying to yourself, I don't know if this is such a great idea. Bryce, don't look at me like this. I'm

just fucking trying to take it in me. You're telling me that it's a starts off with the lyric is what I love my girlf Now it's oh my, oh my girlfriend, and the next thing I know, it's a bunch of fucking I will say one thing. I think the first line is oh my girlfriend. Is the right way to stop that. That's the whole problem. That's my only issue with it, very much. I love the chokboard. What do you love? Suggests? Try and Okay, so we start off with yippio. That's that's my whole Yeah, yippio,

that's my that's my fucking The kids love it. It's more fucking it speaks to me. It's a bit reductive, but fine, does it speaking to you? It speaks to me. I want to do this, I feel that. But we can at least all agree that the nails on the chokboard thing is the best way to to for the

rest of the song. Correct. They went ahead and recorded the track Chackboard Sounds, and even though the lyrics were a bit reductive, as one of them said, it actually did really well and it have lunched to your career into a new status freight. He was ready for hit track. We are, We're doing it now. Okay, we're going to sing it. Let's what's that folks? Is embarrassing? Bang? Mean, hey, when are we going out there? And I prime the crowd and I tell him are you ready to hear

But you've turned on us too, chalkboard. Can I believe that? Hey, it's nudges him. It's me too, because I see more potential with the chalkboard than they

do with you. Do You guys are fucking namare. I would have never wrote the Chalkboard song if I thought the Chalkboard itself would have been ondoing Trin to Chalkboard. That was his own tour. He was doing really well. Why don't your point for the bud coming up next week? Got the new hop track from a Chalkboard. It's called Lady Mulady, I Love m Lady. And then it's a series of chalkboards scratches happening four. It's a forty seconds on the board. The chalkboard was doing the press runs,

knowing stations station in different cities across the country. We are alive with the chalkboard. Chalkboard, tell me, how are you doing? Yeah? So you doing? Be candid with us? How do you like being famous? Have you met any other chuk boards along the way? Any other you know? Hey, try and race? No kidding, how did you meet her or him? I respect your privacy.

My kids love you. Can you just call my kids real quick? All right? I've got a list a mile long of FCC complaints. You guys had a chalkboard on the air. Do you have any ideal what that chalkboard was saying? I mean, do either of you speak chalkboard? I don't know. I

just it was time to entertaining. The kids are loving it. I thought they love it too. Um well, and I don't speak chalkboard, would I don't? I love chalkboard. My favorite kind of food I love.

I thank you. I don't know what's the that's the hotline in the studio six seven five three D. That's right? Remember what? Okay? What with that one? And then we all laughed together because it was because it was yes, Hello, is this the radio station?

The buzz Hello? Yes, okay, oh the voicemail. Yeah. I was taking my kids to school and I was listening to one of your interviews with your dear morning cho Chuck Chuck Chuck, Chuck Chucks. And I don't think you're aware of the dog whistles that were coming out of that chalkboard. So that's just one of them, one of several. So what do you have to say for yourself? I'd like to hear more. I don't usually do this. By the way, I'm a long time listener, first time complainer.

I was listening to the morning show there and you guys had a chartboard on there, and my aunt burst out crying because there's the cursing from that chartboard on a cursive happening. That's the second one, and that's just about it. I was just just listen to them back to back to back. Damn okay, fine, hold On said, let me just do that right, Yes, sir, I was listening to your radio morning program and it was a

chalkboard on right. He said some pretty terrible things that I was listening to the morning show morning where you're on the buzz and the chuck board. He's told me to go fund myself and to and told me commit some pretty ainous crimes. And I just hope you're aware that he's telling all these lists. Yes, excuse me, so I'm driving in my big rig. Okay, I get it. I funked up. I didn't even have the red the chalkboard on there without a chalkboard translator. I'm sorry, thank you.

Where do you go about getting chalkboard translator? Anyways? Of not understanding what your chalkboard is saying, introducing the chalkboard translator. I was at work. It's easy. Your chalkboard says some ship. You bring your press the button and it spits out what it says. Let's try it out. Hey, chalkboard, come over here, all right, say something?

Don't we have that in the archives? Uh? Yeah, I guess we do. Unfortunately, Allen is a very experimental one because nobody knew she was making a sandwich. That's kind

of where I stopped listening is with the sandwich. But it hooked me. It was what was the second favorite it's just take one. That was episode was my second favorite in that one. Episode sixty four was when the UFO blew in and then um, he picked it, went to pick up the cow, but it was you know it was actually it wasn't a cow. It was like the school teacher. We have that though that episode that we find it out. I did find it. Me, me, me, me, me and me. I have thought at a young cow school.

Get that cow. It's pretty heavy. I don't know if we you trying to take my cowt No, not, of course not, but you're just trying to have this guy a little tick down more tic takes around my around my cows sort of got us all one. NBC News reports, are you a FU site over the hillside of Kentucky? A cow is being looted off the ground. So he ran outside and he said, I think I said, tik tak up in the sky and he said, I'm taking

my shotgun. I said, there ain't no way there is a voup in that sky and uh he ran outside. Damn near from your damn your name, dude, ding No. That was that was a great episode. That was pretty pretty wild. I couldn't believe that they have the UFOs right now. We had to cut that episode as that lady kept going on and because you can finish your sentence, I think the name and name name just that on board, Sam Hill, Sam Hill up on the end. Still, I was decided to play it with where time to see

the entire length of the show. What my voice, eyes is so horsed. That's better, Oh good, because nobody wants to hear that. Alright, So let's start the first show. That was a great It was amazing. But that's when I first moved to l A. Yeah, right about that time. Well, what was it about l A that made you feel like it's just gonna be your new home? I think there were more opportunities in l A. Y Uh, in

Because you feel like in Houston you are a big vision, a little tinny, you know, Houston bond um. In Houston, I felt like I was, you know, I was still surrounded by my childhood friends. Maybe I needed to branch out and meet new people. They just didn't believe in you. They didn't believe me. It hurt. I think we have that in the archives. Jo, you fucking suck you leave

And I can't wait until thirty years from an hours so when he's a guest on your show, all right, by forever. I didn't realize it. I was. I was that mean to you. I'm so sorry. That was it was uncalled for the whole you know, I was. I was very

aggressive in my early days in radio. You have a podcast, yes, you tell us about it. I have a podcast called paranormal Ish, which is you know about ghost, UFOs, anything under that umbrella of paranormal. If you've had a paranormal experience, I'd love to hear it you personally have any experience with paranormal I have had doors slam on me with no other explanation other than something being paranormal. Did they have been spring hinged? I forgot to check for the spring.

I guess it's possible, but I don't think it was. Do you have guests on your show? Can tell me the format on the podcast, I'll have guests who have had paranormal encounters, and then they'll tell me their story, and sometimes I'll do research on a particular location where they had this incident happened. Sometimes we just take their story.

Sometimes I have the UFO investigators jump on and talk about, you know, working, you know, researching people's claims of experiencing a UFO or an abduction or a lot of a lot of crazy things. Sometimes you believe, sometimes you don't. You want to hear a paranormal story. Yeah, this girl, she lived in Northridge. She was when she told me the story. She's probably mid twenties. But this happened when

they were younger. Three sisters, seven, eight, nine ish years old, and they live with mom and dad and grandmother in Northridge. Grandmother passed away um, but the family were so torn up about it they didn't tell the daughters that grandmother had passed. They kept this on for about a year. They didn't know grandmother had passed for an entire year.

They would use excuses like she's with Uncle so, and so, she's with Aunt so and so, she's in the hospital and back and forth, you know, because I would be thinks she would typically do. So. They didn't know once again that she had passed away until a year later, well about a week after the funeral, Mom calls upstairs and says, hey, come down for dinner, and uh one of the daughters. Keeping in mind they don't know for another year that she's gone, one of the daughters says,

I can't come down, Mom, I'm braiding grandmother's hair. She had a ladies a lady her grandmother in the room. She was braiding her hair. She thought it was her, and she of course just disappeared. Mom came up running and she told Mom, you made you made Grandma leave. They never spoke about it until years later. Crazy story, right, Yeah, I didn't like that story as well. Where can we

hear that show? By the way, can hear that show on the radio app Spotify, Apple podcast, most podcast platform, jog other Right, thank you again for being a guest on the show coming up at three, But first the word from our sponsors who make this high quality program possible. Stay with us at three. Lightning Paradise was the locally hangout joint where the group usually ended up spending the night after a long night of playing bowling and all kinds of card games. It was the only way that

these guys could get together. They were all dad's and didn't have lives of their own other than being a father. I'll tell you how, I'm just really glad that finally we get a chance to hang out. I'm so busy with the kids. I'm so busy with the white I'm so busy with work. I'm so busy with my car keeps falling apart on me. I'm so busy with burying items that I steal from. It meant, why did you what I'm busy with my kids. No, no, no, cav go back. What were you just saying, get burying things?

You steal from my state sale? From my state sales? I wait until people, you're a detective. I'm just no, I'm just kidding guys. I don't do that anyway. So my wife the other day, I just wanted to unwind and drink a beer, and all discussed the big bear in the room of my right, I think we need to Yeah, are you stealing? Kid? Not anymore? Not anymore? Only three years in the forest and you're stealing. It's just the rush? Did I get from it? What? How

did you never get caught? Yeah? Because I know how the system works. I know how to not leave Trey. Anytime I go to an estate sale and I steal like a vase, or I steal an urn and filled with somebody's ashes, Why are they selling that in a state sale? Why would they sell the ashes? I don't know why, but but I always wear I don't think those are state sales. I think you're just going to

old people's homes and say you no, no, no, that's impossible. No, no. Look I go into a house that has a gate and it has a guard standing in front, and then I hop over the gate because I don't know the code to the gate, and I go in while if all the people are in there sleeping and U and it's called burg that's burglary breaking an entry. No, no, no, you guys are misunderstanding what I'm saying. I blow a blow dart into the dog so it doesn't bark. When I kick in a window, and then I climb in,

it's a state sale. I climb in through the window. Sometimes I cut myself on the glass, but then I make sure that I don't get any blood on anything from the So there's some DNA evidence and a state sale. What aren't you guys getting what's the worst thing that's ever happened? Like, did someone wake up? Yes, and it's and a state sale. The wife wakes up. I scrambled

to the garage. I grab a baseball bat, I hit make sure the wife doesn't know what the hell care state It's clear that he had a definition of a state sale that wasn't shared by the rest of the friends. He had to have it. Irna. My client was simply, you better communicate soon because I'm going to call mis trial. I think that's how that works. Yes, anyway, as I was saying, yet infermission to approach the bench, your honor, your on. Can I please approach the bench to pros No,

only the defense. One person approaches the bench at a time, and I approached the match. I have nothing to do with this trial, but I would like nothing. Guy who grow three over here, I was told this would not took my face ran and no, I would like that part in the in the crowd. That was a witness you need No, it was not. I would like those

comments stricken from the record. Back you're on it. Clearly I have a witness to the effect of his client coming into the house and also stealing very valuable goods. Pay your name for the record. Please, what's things stolen from your house? Mr Jansen? Yes, many things stolen from my house. It was an estate sale, was not in a state sale. There was no newspaper at objection you're on a defense is talking out a line. First of all, that was my client that spoke. I have instruct in
