00:00:48 - 00:01:40 | Speaker 4:

thing the touristy stuff there's a million crazy things there and i've been there several times but meg never really had a chance to get down into hollywood and explore anything in california she's been there for business, but never left downtown LA. So I took her to some of the sites. I said, you know, you got to show you some of the stuff, you know, where Hollywood, where our entertainment's created. And then on the last day, we said, you know what? We kind of dared each other to find the weirdest Hollywood attraction to visit because we had a free day and it was kind of rainy. So we said, let's find something to do. And so we said, let's each try find the craziest, weirdest, Hollywood, most Hollywood thing you can think of. So I Googled for a little while, and I was going to take her to Pee Wee Herman's house, like from the movies, his actual house he lived in. And it's actually in the same neighborhood as the Brady Bunch house. So I was like, well, maybe we'll just drive around and see some of these houses that they film.

00:01:40 - 00:01:41 | Speaker 1:

I do love stuff like that.

00:01:41 - 00:01:59 | Speaker 4:

Well, she won. She found something even crazier than what I found. She found a Star Wars burlesque show called The Empire Strips Back. And it's a bunch of smoking hot girls Dancing mostly naked And wearing Star Wars costumes

00:01:59 - 00:02:01 | Speaker 1:

00:03:16 - 00:03:18 | Speaker 1:

Honestly, that is kind of cool.

00:03:18 - 00:03:24 | Speaker 4:

It was a mixed crowd, men and women, and everybody was so rowdy. It was fun. It was hilarious.

00:03:24 - 00:03:35 | Speaker 1:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Burlesque is not for men. It is for women. Yeah. It is for us, you guys. Oh, yeah. So support your local burlesque dancers and artists because that is for us to appreciate.

00:03:36 - 00:03:41 | Speaker 4:

Meg picked it out, and she was so excited to go. I think she was more excited than I was, and it was fun. It was a lot of fun.

00:03:41 - 00:03:50 | Speaker 3:

All right, so you went on a vacation. If you went on a vacation somewhere, what's the craziest place that you've ever gone and visited while you were on a vacation?

00:03:50 - 00:04:01 | Speaker 4:

There's strange tourist attractions in every town. I have a book called Atlas Obscura, and there's a website, too, where you can look up in any neighborhood you're in. You can look up the weirdest things. They're not in the tour guidebooks.

00:04:02 - 00:04:05 | Speaker 3:

I went to, Johnny Dares made me go to the goofiest places.

00:04:05 - 00:04:06 | Speaker 1:

Oh, I can only imagine.

00:04:06 - 00:04:18 | Speaker 3:

First off, the one place that is amazing, if you want to just go to one place and have it all in one, is that Zach Braff. What is that place? Not Zach Baggins. Yes. Or something, whatever it is.

00:04:19 - 00:04:20 | Speaker 4:

House of Horrors in Vegas.

00:04:20 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 3:

Well, it's basically items from every crazy murder, death story that was in the news. They buy everything. They bought the Kevorkian death mobile. they bought you know um uh gosh i think they even might even have like items from like kennedy's assassination that are there you know stuff like that so that was kind of a cool place but then the the place that he took me to that was awful it was just absolutely awful was the um the porn uh uh place or whatever it's remember that remember i i i hold on i'm gonna google

00:05:00 - 00:05:15 | Speaker 1:

I think it's the Porn Museum Or the, oh no, the Adult Toy Museum Adult Toy Museum In Vegas So you go in and it basically has Adult toys Like the first adult toy that was ever made Which by the way

00:05:15 - 00:05:17 | Speaker 2:

Oh, the Erotic Heritage Museum Yes

00:05:17 - 00:05:45 | Speaker 1:

It has the It looks like Something that a gynecologist uses To, you know Check out a vagina And I'm in there going, this is crazy that we're in this place. And then you know what I hate about museums? I hate when you go into a museum and they don't have the actual item, but they have a picture of the item. Yeah. Well, yeah. Like, why? Like, I want to see the actual item or, you know, whatever. It's the worst because there's also that.

00:05:45 - 00:05:46 | Speaker 2:

I can just go on the Internet.

00:05:46 - 00:05:50 | Speaker 1:

The Mob Museum. You ever go to the Mob Museum? That is also like that.

00:05:50 - 00:05:59 | Speaker 2:

Well, Vegas is famous for all that stuff because the same people go back to Vegas again and again and again. so you get bored and you look for new, outrageous, weird things to do.

00:05:59 - 00:06:17 | Speaker 1:

Yeah. Okay, so the craziest tourist attraction that you've ever taken people to. I've taken people to a crazy one here in town. The big old Michelin tire. I've taken family members that wanted to take pictures of that Michelin tire off of the 94. What's going on, Lou? Is it Lou A.?

00:06:17 - 00:06:18 | Speaker 7:

Lou A., yes, sir.

00:06:18 - 00:06:21 | Speaker 1:

00:06:21 - 00:06:27 | Speaker 7:

No, my name is Lou A. And they call me Louie right here

00:06:27 - 00:06:29 | Speaker 1:

Oh, what's going on? What are you calling for?

00:06:30 - 00:06:38 | Speaker 7:

I went to Cyprus in the Greece area And they were serving laughing gas at the bar

00:06:38 - 00:06:46 | Speaker 2:

Really? What? Yeah You're in another country And someone wants to strap a gas mask on you And you just go for it

00:06:46 - 00:07:00 | Speaker 7:

It was crazy And I went back to Greece No, actually to Cyprus this year And they're still doing the same thing. That's kind of cool. I got to show my wife the whole thing.

00:07:00 - 00:07:05 | Speaker 1:

That's kind of cool. What's going on, Savannah? Hi. Hi, what's up?

00:07:06 - 00:07:13 | Speaker 5:

I'm just really shocked by you, Mojo. Have you never seen Return of the Jedi? Slave Leia in that bikini? Nerds definitely have sex drives.

00:07:13 - 00:07:17 | Speaker 1:

Really? Are you a Star Wars fanatic? Are you a big fan?

00:07:17 - 00:07:19 | Speaker 5:

Oh, absolutely. I've actually met Carrie Fisher.

00:07:19 - 00:07:23 | Speaker 1:

You've met Carrie Fisher? Oh, that's amazing.

00:07:23 - 00:07:27 | Speaker 5:

Mark Hamill, original Chewbacca, Peter Mayhew, all of them. Oh, wow.

00:07:28 - 00:07:31 | Speaker 1:

Wait, where were you? Were you at a Star Wars convention?

00:07:31 - 00:07:39 | Speaker 5:

Yeah, we actually went to Celebration, and then we also went to Motor City Comic Con, the local one here at the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi. They come down pretty frequently.

00:07:40 - 00:07:45 | Speaker 1:

But would you go to a naked convention of Star Wars people?

00:07:46 - 00:07:52 | Speaker 5:

Not a naked convention of Star Wars fans, but I definitely want to hit up that burlesque show. It sounds awesome.

00:07:52 - 00:07:59 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was cool. Okay. Message me before you go, because I know a secret speakeasy Star Wars cantina bar right around the corner.

00:08:00 - 00:08:03 | Speaker 5:

Mike, you always know the hookup. I definitely will. Thank you so much. Okay.

00:08:03 - 00:08:15 | Speaker 1:

I'm sorry, Shannon. I'm late on my woes. Here you go. Whoa. There you go. All right. Thank you for the call. Take care of yourself. Thanks. Jessica, hi. Where did you visit?

00:08:17 - 00:08:26 | Speaker 4:

So we went to Key West, and one of the bars down there on the third floor. It's completely naked Oh, the Garden of Eden

00:08:26 - 00:08:32 | Speaker 6:

Yeah, that is famous It's all old people It's just like old balls Just like swinging around

00:08:32 - 00:08:38 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, old balls Well, it's the same with nude beaches It's never the people you want to see naked

00:08:38 - 00:08:38 | Speaker 1:

Yeah

00:08:38 - 00:08:40 | Speaker 6:

Ever It's bad

00:08:40 - 00:08:44 | Speaker 1:

What's going on, Candy? What did you go visit?

00:08:45 - 00:08:47 | Speaker 6:

Hi Sorry, it's a little loud on that word

00:08:47 - 00:08:49 | Speaker 1:

Gotcha No worries

00:08:49 - 00:09:12 | Speaker 6:

I visited Mackinac City before and they had a mouse museum with different mice dressed up in different outfits and historical events. Really? Why does that remind me of that Steve Carell movie, Dinner for Schmucks? Yes. He made the little ramp seats. I love that movie. Mackinac City. It was really odd. I found it walking around.

00:09:13 - 00:09:21 | Speaker 1:

That's funny. Oh my God. That town, by the way, if you can't get out, if you get out of that place without buying a stupid t-shirt, You know what I mean

00:09:21 - 00:09:28 | Speaker 2:

It looks like if you watched Wednesday this season It looks like that little store in the pilgrim world Where it's all taxidermy animals

00:09:28 - 00:09:30 | Speaker 1:

What's up Dave

00:09:30 - 00:09:37 | Speaker 3:

We go visit My daughter in Missouri And on the way there's a tourist trap called Uranus

00:09:37 - 00:09:42 | Speaker 1:

Oh boy And what do they do in Uranus Oh you're going to ask

00:09:42 - 00:09:51 | Speaker 3:

It's a tourist trap They do everything in Uranus They pack the fudge in Uranus They got a fudge shop They got soda. Everything is around Uranus.

00:09:52 - 00:09:52 | Speaker 1:

Really?

00:09:52 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 2:

And that's what the place is called. How much did you have to pay to go in Uranus? You can walk free.

00:10:00 - 00:10:07 | Speaker 1:

Uranus. Walk right through the doors, but you've got to pay for the fudge that they pack in Uranus. The t-shirts are in Uranus and everything's in Uranus.

00:10:07 - 00:10:11 | Speaker 3:

That's amazing. I want to visit this place. Again, it's in Missouri?

00:10:12 - 00:10:23 | Speaker 1:

It's in Missouri on I-40. It's huge. They just built another one in Indiana, but it is hilarious because all the sales people are in on it and everything is done in Uranus.

00:10:23 - 00:10:26 | Speaker 3:

You know what? That's a place you take your child. Absolutely.

00:10:27 - 00:10:31 | Speaker 2:

Same pun for the next 45 minutes of your visit. But it's also

00:10:31 - 00:10:33 | Speaker 1:

Missouri, so it's the only thing to do there.

00:10:35 - 00:10:39 | Speaker 2:

Well, now it's in Indiana, because everyone needs to experience Uranus. Can I tell you that

00:10:39 - 00:11:26 | Speaker 3:

the funniest is, you know, we all think that Anthony from Imagine Theater is like the coolest guy in the world, one of the nicest people. He took his family, I think, to Branson, Missouri, because his kids wanted to go there. He told his kids, anywhere you guys want to go in the country. Isn't it in Branson where they have that it's like a goofy, it's like a small Midwest Vegas. basically where they do like shows and shows and everything yeah yeah branson missouri he's a real tourist trap it's a titanic music yeah actually megan when you decide to call radio quits you should retire in branson missouri you could uh the only place i can afford actually it's kind of expensive it's not affordable yeah it's not affordable at all yeah believe it or not yeah because i guess that's where everybody goes on vacations and

00:11:26 - 00:11:30 | Speaker 1:

That means I'm going to end up in rural Arkansas.

00:11:30 - 00:11:35 | Speaker 3:

They do. They get concerts all the time. Artists will go to Branson, Missouri because it's kind of known for it.

00:11:35 - 00:11:40 | Speaker 2:

It's just like Gatlinburg, Tennessee and the Smokies. It's just a tourist trap.

00:11:40 - 00:11:55 | Speaker 3:

I think it's even honestly, I think it was like one of the first outside of Vegas where people would start going to all those theme type of residency type shows. People would start doing residencies out of Vegas. The Wisdomistas.
