SPEAKER_00Uh down in uh a little town called Chattoning, Michigan, is where I live. It's a small little farm town outside of Saginaw and uh been here for about 15 years. But you know, especially being a comedian, I feel like I'm never here. I feel like I'm always on the road or in some hotel or something. So it's actually nice to be doing the podcast from my my little hockey basement, as you can see. So it's uh it's good to be on.

Summer Heat And Pool Fever
SPEAKER_03uh I am here in lovely Rhode Island, and it is raining actually today, but that's okay because we've really needed the rain. It's been really hot. Um, we're in the we're in the dead heat of summer right now as we're recording this. What about you guys? What's what's your weather looking like?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's been pretty brutal. It's actually uh it's been so hot uh lately. My family's been bugging me to buy a pool for like the last like year and a half. Like, you gotta get a pool, you gotta get a pool. And uh, I went for a walk uh about a week ago, and it was so hot out that I'm like, yeah, I think we're actually gonna pull the trigger on it. So we bought we ended up buying a pool last week, which is great. We've been relaxing, and my son, who is 10, uh, you know, we did it as a surprise. And as soon as the pool showed up, my dad, uh my son looks at me and goes, Dad, you're a legend. That that was worth the whole uh the whole thing. So uh yeah, pretty brutal. It's been you know, nineties and a hundreds here in Michigan. So uh so trying to just stay as cool as we uh as we can.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, definitely. How about you, Joey? What's it what's it like out your doors?
A Heart Attack Mid Tour
SPEAKER_01It's been a crazy season, you know. It's really hot, and I'm on the redneck comedy bus tour, and I was doing a show about two weeks ago, and I made this. We get we went to intermission, and uh, we get back on the bus, and I I go to crack a joke at the guy sitting in the second row, and he laughs, and all of a sudden he grabs his chest and has a heart attack right in front of me. And the whole bus, and the guy just goes out, he's in convulsions. I I honestly thought I killed him. Like I thought I thought he died. And then the ambulance came and they revived him, they brought him back to life, and he refused to go to the ambulance and he wanted to finish the tour, so he did, and we finished the show after that.
SPEAKER_00That's when you know the show's going wow when a guy dies and he comes back and goes, I want to see the rest of it.
SPEAKER_03That's just that's a good, that's a good performance. I mean, were you I mean, were you afraid to like? I don't want to make my jokes too funny.
SPEAKER_01Like you Well, what I what I found out was that he was having chest pains, and uh, you know, it's funny. I well a long time ago, I thought I was having a heart attack, and they gave me what's called a nitro. This guy was having chest pains at intermission, and he took three nitros at one time. So when I hit my punchline, the nitros kicked in, and and he just started convulsing and they pumped him, they pumped him out and got him back to life, and he just we finished the tour. It was crazy.
SPEAKER_03That that's that is absolutely insane. Insane. Oh my gosh, I don't know. I never killed like that, but um Joey Ayello does. He he's a killer, he's he's a killer with the jokes, and you are because I've worked with you and you are, but let's talk about when we first met.
First Meetings And Tour Memories
SPEAKER_03Joey, I know where I first met you. Do you remember first meeting me? I don't know if I left an impression on you or not, because Joey was big and famous, and I was just like a newcomer.
SPEAKER_01I just recall the one. I just recall. Oh man, God's worked on me over the years, you know. I used to have a bad temper, and I just recall me you and your husband at a we were at a hotel, and I got into a fight with somebody, and then it was like, okay, and then we like cleared it up, and then and and then your look on your face was like, oh, nice to meet you.
SPEAKER_03No, Joey, we had met already. We had met CCA, we met at CCA, uh-huh, and then that was our like one of our first shows that we did together. Actually, it was a show that you had booked, right? And we were um staying over in Connecticut because you had stayed at my house.
SPEAKER_01Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03We were staying over in Connecticut, and uh, yeah, and there was uh guy that had some issues in the hotel, and Joey was me. And so I was like, wow, this is uh this is uh interesting. Well we had some fun shows and um we actually did a show too in Fall River. Do you remember that? That was fun. Yeah, and uh you had the Christmas tree, the guy, um the guy that um it was Christmas time, I think it was after Christmas, maybe, but they still had the Christmas tree up.
SPEAKER_01Um and you you like somebody's gotta put your tree away. So I grabbed the tree off the stage, and then come to find out it was for like a make-a-wish kid. And they were still trying to raise money for this kid's last breath, or I don't know what it was, and it just was so funny. I it was so it was crazy, man.
SPEAKER_03Joey makes a splash wherever he goes. Let's just say he's killing people on buses, he's he's fighting people in the in the hotels, and he's and he's taking uh the kids' um last wishes from not on purpose though, man.
SPEAKER_01It's all incidental. It's like everybody looking back on it, looking back on on this stuff over the years, it's like wow, there's been some funny, funny moments, man.
SPEAKER_03Anthony Paningo, do you remember do you remember first meeting me like at CCA?
SPEAKER_00I think it was at the CCA, probably at one of the little showcase shows or something like that. Because uh that was I I love the uh conference because it's like you get to not only see friends you haven't seen in a while, but you get to see kind of the people that are either in front of you or behind you coming up. So it was kind of nice to uh, you know, like I said, over the years, just kind of meet people and and hang with friends. And I think that's where we met. Might maybe was uh Atlanta, maybe or so.
SPEAKER_03That sounds that sounds right. I think that was my first conference was um Atlanta, and I think you were you were probably on the showcase. You might have been on the showcase, and yeah. Um, I remember um how much I loved and and I think you still do it because people make you do it. Um, is the winky face your wife can't yeah, that's uh it's a fake requested bits, yeah.
SPEAKER_00It's uh yeah, try to drop it a couple of times, and then people come out to shows and they go, Hey, you didn't do the thing about your hair awake, you know. And so and actually, it's where I met Joey for the first time. And Joey, I love this story. Joey always tells it pretty well, but like we kind of knew each other because we kind of had the same agent, and uh Joey, uh, you know, Joey's an Italian guy, I'm an Italian guy, and Joey comes up very polite, like, hello, my name's Joey ILO, it's a pleasure to meet you. And I just go into full Italian mode. I'm like, Yeah, how you doing? Nice to see you, you know. And he just starts laughing. He goes, I'm trying to be polite, and you're just uh, you know, just just you know, just a normal uh Italian guy using my hands a lot and everything else. So uh we're cracking up, and so uh you know, easy to be friends with both you guys really quick. Just uh, you know, it's like I said, just good people and great comics. So uh so it's it's it's fun getting together and chatting a little bit today.
SPEAKER_01And that's that's one of the things I love about Andy is because like you know, I could say that to him and he gets it, you know. I said that to this one uh one of my partners, business partners that I ended up working with when we first met. He's not Italian, but he was from New, he was from New Jersey, and I'm like, Oh, you're from New Jersey. I mean, you get me, right? You get me. I mean it's like no, no, I don't.
SPEAKER_03That's that's hilarious. Um, well, you know what?
Vacation Stories Kick Off
SPEAKER_03What we're gonna do is we are gonna go in to our very first segment. You ready? All right, today we're talking about um vacations and trips. And so I know you guys have some uh some great stories to tell, maybe maybe uh a fun, fantastic vacation, maybe a not so fun, fantastic one or a trip that you've taken. But um uh Andy, you wanna like wanna start us off with I know you have stories.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I mean, my whole life's a vacation at this point, you know what I mean? It's uh getting to travel and get to go see the world a little bit every week, which is awesome. And so I mean, when I look at like family vacations, you know, I've been on a lot of really fun ones. We we went down to um Disney not too long ago, which was really fun. And uh, you know, it's it's uh it's amazing because it's you know, the kids are just amped up the whole time, you know. We end up driving, so you know, they're
Disney Trips And Airport Stranding
SPEAKER_00uh yeah, because when you start off, you're like, oh, 18 hours isn't too bad, you know. And then you're an hour and a half into the ride. It's like, are we there yet? Like, this is terrible, you know. Um, so so obviously the Disney trip with the kids was a lot of fun, but you know, traveling as a comic, you know, you you end up running into a lot of crazy things. Like I uh work on a lot of cruise ships, and I remember uh well about a year ago, I got stranded in an airport for about 36 hours uh straight. Um, we got uh we were on the runway and uh there was a big hurricane coming up the east coast, and so they obviously turned the plane around and uh you know it was uh I think it's Sunday night or something like that, and uh kind of talking to the travel people, like, hey, when can I get the next flight out? And they're like, Yeah, the next flight out to Detroit is like Wednesday, you know, and you're like, okay, I'll try to rent a car or something like that. All the cars are obviously rented out because everybody's just trying to get out of New York. So uh luckily I ended up I think booking a trip to I think Columbus or Cleveland or something like that. And uh end up flying out about 36 hours later. Um my parents actually drove out to I think either Columbus or or Cleveland. They're so funny because they're like, we'll drive to New York and pick you up. And I'm like, oh no, no, no, that's all right. But they're like, we're retired, we got nothing else to do. Where are you guys? We're yeah, let's go do something. So they ended up uh making a trip special. But like I said, that's kind of the fun thing about being a comic, is you just know so many people all across the country, and you know, I had guys like Earl Music kind of saying, like, hey, well, if you I can pick you up in Pittsburgh and drive you to Ohio, and then you got a friends in Ohio that are like I can drive you from there to there. So it's like I probably could have timed it to where I could have gotten a ride from everybody if I was really stranded or whatever. But um, yeah, that's kind of the uh the pros and cons of the business, I guess, is you're always kind of uh you know, getting stranded or stuck. But uh, you know, I'm I'm 42 and I still loving I still love uh just being in hotels, you know. I love going into the pool and stuff, and it's funny because uh, I think my son will probably be a comic because he likes telling jokes and he likes staying in hotels, so I'm like, all right, he's he's on his way. But uh yeah, like I said, I just feel like my whole life's a vacation at this point, so um it's fun just traveling.
SPEAKER_03Absolutely, but there is some horror in traveling, like we said, stuck for 36 hours in an airport is it's not and you know, and they shut things down too. Did they shut things? I know, like I've gotten stuck in an airport, like there was nothing open, like there was no food.
SPEAKER_00There's there's no food, and then like you try to go to sleep, and then it's like the night cruise like cleaning, so you're trying to sleep, and he just uses vacuum cleaner at two o'clock in the morning. Everybody's kind of doing that, and then I was in New York too, so it's like I went outside trying to find the uh car rental place, and there's like rats running around and stuff like that. I'm just like, I gotta get out of this city, man. This is terrible. So uh yeah, luckily, uh, after about 36 hours, I finally got out and then uh that's crazy.
Roller Coasters And New Orleans Close Calls
SPEAKER_03Joey, what about you? Fun vacations or what?
SPEAKER_01I was just gonna say, you know, I was in Orlando uh and I got stuck at the airport, and I was looking for a place to sleep because I was gonna sleep in the airport. And I remember I sent you that video, and it was Snow White, and I was and I kept talking to her like you, and I had just left your house, and I was talking to Snow White like she was Rhonda Corey. She had black hair and she looked like Rhonda Corey. It was really funny.
SPEAKER_00I remember seeing that. That's hilarious.
SPEAKER_01I was like, Rhonda, I miss you. And why did I have to come to Orlando and be stuck here overnight? So no, there's that. Um, you know, it's funny. I love, you know, people ask me all the time, does you do you take your kids with you on your shows and stuff? I'm like, no, we we we we set aside special vacations for the family. And uh one of my favorite ones was my son, we we went to an amusement park, and I thought we were gonna go on one of those rides that go, but it didn't do that. It shot out of the station like a shotgun. It was like and it went up and down and went round and round and round. Then it stopped and went back the other way. We get done with the ride, and my son jumps out of the roller coaster car and he runs up to the measuring stick and he goes, I don't think I was supposed to be on that. He literally looked at me and goes, You're going to jail, daddy. That's gotta be illegal. It's gotta be. So I I love that moment, you know, just spending time with the kids. We're actually going to Chicago. We're gonna go to Six Flags. I'm gonna take them to the Six Flags where I used to work, you know. So that's what we're doing in July. And uh we went to New Orleans, that was really amazing, and then we almost got robbed on the street. A guy pulled a knife on us, and then uh the cop came around the corner and the guy ran off, and we jumped in one of those the bikes that they pull you, you know, and it's like, please get us back to our hotel. But New Orleans was awesome. We went to the I love jazz, we went to jazz clubs, and so we love we we go on really good trips. We we went to North Carolina last year and and uh Myrtle Beach and and Charleston and all that. So, you know, we we we make a we we we make a serious attempt to always vacation as a family, so absolutely, it's
Surprise Disney Moment And Family Magic
SPEAKER_01fun.
SPEAKER_03So um for me, my son had um uh planned a trip with uh friends of ours actually, um, and they're their kids, you know, two weeks to um to Disney and so excited about it. I mean they planned this trip and then COVID happened, so of course it got postponed, right? And so during that time, uh my husband and I decided okay, let's go surprise him in in Disney. You know, we'll go for a week, we're not gonna go for two weeks because I'm a comic. And um and and I can't afford that. But anyway, so uh so we planned this. I mean, like, you know, our friends, you know, our friends knew, but we kept it from him the whole time. Like we I and I it wasn't even about Disney for me, it was just to see his face when we showed up. And I just want to let everybody know that he wasn't gonna be sad, like, oh no, my parents are ruining everything. Like, he he would have been excited because he mentioned how I wish you guys could have gone too, you know. So um we have it all planned. Um, and so I'm so excited. Um, we're going to meet them at a restaurant, and so my uh my son's friend had uh his his friend and his wife, his her parents were there as well. And so his parents, which are our friends, and so we just it was just gonna be a blast, right? And so his parents, um, her parents weren't gonna show up, but they had seats like they were, so that way you wouldn't get suspicious. Uh, not that he's that great at math, but um still, you know, what's going on here. So, anyway, so we walk in and I'm telling you, I have my camera pointed. I'm gonna record this moment, it's gonna be awesome. And I've got my camera and we're walking. I'm so excited because this is all I just wanted, right? And we're walking and walking, and we're right up there, and we see his face, and he's like, Oh my god, it's like and he just he freaks out, you know, and I'm like, Gut it, and all of a sudden I look and I didn't hit record. Oh yeah, I am famous for that, but somebody did capture the moment.
SPEAKER_04Um, that's good, yes.
SPEAKER_03Thankfully, but it was just so funny. I'm like, that is so typical of me. I'm watching with my camera, and the whole time I'm not even recording it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are we waiting for? It's the floor, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, too.
SPEAKER_03But in his face was worth it, it was great.
SPEAKER_01You know, my daughter has autism, and she was non-verbal until she was five years old. But we took her to Disney when she was about three or four, and I never forget when she seen Minnie Mouse, she ran up and said, I love you, Minnie. And you know, just to hear her lead that. Uh, you know, because the autistic kids they have a tendency to echo everything, they don't necessarily come out and say how they feel, you know. So that was that was such a cool thing to witness. And when she visited with the princesses and stuff, you know, that was really cool.
SPEAKER_00It's a magical place, man. I mean, I'm 40 and I still get pumped up. I see Winnie the Pooh, and I'm like, Pooh bear, like it's poo bear. This is awesome. My kids are like, What are you doing, dad?
SPEAKER_04Like, I don't know, it's poo. It's exciting.
SPEAKER_00Go up and hog them. It's it's it makes you feel like a little kid, even when you're uh, you know, like I said, even adult. So uh I love going there, man.
SPEAKER_03Absolutely, it's so fun. All right, guys, are you ready? We are gonna move on to our final
Two Truths And A Lie Celebrities
SPEAKER_03segment. Let's go so fast, all right. It's time for my favorite two truths and a lie. And today we're going to be talking about the famous people we've met, two truths and a lie. And uh, I think we're gonna start off with uh Mr. Andy Boningo. All right, ready, Andy? Who are the famous people that you've met? And then Joey and I are gonna be watching because one of them's a lie.
SPEAKER_00All right, and I'll give you the circumstances too. Uh the first celebrity was uh when I was 24 years old, I went to Los Angeles, California, and found out that Jay Leno was performing at the Ice House in Pasadena. And my friend and I snuck in the back door and watched Jay Leno for about 20 minutes on stage absolutely destroy this comedy club. And after about 20 minutes, the uh the bouncer guy kind of saw us and was like, What are you guys doing here? And we're like, Oh, we're just kind of watching the show. And they're like, Yeah, no, you can't be here if you don't have a ticket. So we got kicked out of the ice house and waited around the club, and then after the show, met Jay Leno for a little bit and uh talked about being a comedian and uh talked a little bit about Tim going to uh uh Michigan and performing at the comedy castle back in the day. So uh it was great, great getting to meet Jay. So that's uh that's celebrity number one.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00Uh celebrity number two was uh very famous actor named Jeff Daniels, uh, who uh I met at Central Michigan University when I was uh a student there. Uh that's where uh Jeff went to college for about a semester, and he used to come in and perform uh uh sketches and read parts of plays and just talk to the acting department and uh got to meet uh Jeff Daniels very briefly. And the third one I met was uh was Tracy Morgan in New York uh city. I was walking down the street and happened to look up and I saw Tracy and I said, Hey Tracy, what's up? I'm a comedian. He was like, All right, that's awesome, man. And kind of walked by past me, and I said, That was pretty cool. I got to got to see him for a minute. So one of those is not true, the other two is true, and I'm wondering if you guys can guess which one is not true.
SPEAKER_03Okay, let's see. So we have uh all right, ready, Joey. We have uh Jay Leno. We have uh Jeff Daniels. What's Jeff Daniels been in?
SPEAKER_00Jeff Daniels has been in a lot of speed, dumb and dumber. Uh he was on the show called The Newsroom, which he won uh, I think an Emmy Award for.
unknownAnd uh
SPEAKER_00101 Dalmatians, uh, the live action version. So he's been in a lot of stuff.
SPEAKER_03Okay. And Tracy Morgan.
SPEAKER_00Tracy Morgan. We said, What's up, man? Yeah, I'm right. I'm right. Doing some comedy, huh?
SPEAKER_04That's my bad Tracy.
SPEAKER_01I feel like the one, the first one, I feel like you met Jay Leno. Uh, the the the next two, I I was thinking that the chat, uh, the Daniels one is isn't for real. But then, but but then the Tracy Morgan, you're you're trying too hard to convince me. I feel like nah, that really didn't happen. Uh I'll have to say Tracy Morgan.
SPEAKER_00All right.
SPEAKER_03Okay, I'm gonna go with Jeff Daniels.
SPEAKER_00Well, uh, for the purpose of the podcast, I am wearing my Central Michigan University shirt. So um, the Jeff Daniels one is actually true. He used to come to the walking department a lot. I did not meet Tracy Morgan. I just wanted to do the boy, man. So uh yeah, I did get to meet Jay. I did get to meet Jeff Daniels on uh a couple of occasions, so uh, but no, I have never had the the chance to meet Tracy. So maybe one day.
SPEAKER_03All right, all right, Joey. You're up.
SPEAKER_01I will so uh Kanye West, I met him, and um his manager let me hold his Jesus piece. Uh I worked at a club called Club Three Degrees, and he signed Jesus Walks uh record for us so that we could play it uh as a Christian song at the club. Um so I got to hold his Jesus piece, and I got a signature from Kanye, and I got to talk to him and meet him, and he was he was nice. And then uh then I met uh I met Pitbull, the rapper from Miami, and uh he was really nice, man. Super nice, super um, super down to earth and uh really polite. And so I met him, and then uh then I met Prince. I worked at First Avenue, uh where Prince worked in Minneapolis, and where he shot Purple Rain, the movie. And uh so I worked at his club and I met Prince.
SPEAKER_03Okay. I'm gonna say that you probably did meet Kanye. I'm gonna say that you probably met Pitbull, but I don't think you met Prince.
SPEAKER_00This is a tough one because I also knew that you did a little bit of rapping, a little freestyle stuff, and and all those stories probably could have been true. Minneapolis is where you're from originally, correct? So I feel like you probably could have met Prince. Uh, the minute you start talking about Kanye, I'm like, there's no way you met Kanye. So I'm going with uh Kanye too many details. Too many details.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, okay. So all right, no, that didn't happen.
SPEAKER_03Joey, what is it?
SPEAKER_01I really did meet Kanye, and he really did let me hold his Jesus piece.
SPEAKER_03Really?
SPEAKER_04By the way, man.
SPEAKER_01At B96 in Minneapolis at the radio station, when he went to go do an uh a deal. Um, yeah, my but my good friend Miss Shannon. She she's uh she I she allowed me into the studio and I got to meet him and and his management and all that.
SPEAKER_00That's awesome, man.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and then Pitbull, that was another reason why I met Pitbull was because he was he was there at B96. So I met him and I also met Shaquille O'Neal. I was gonna say Shaquille O'Neal because that to me that would really throw you guys off. The reason why I met Shaquille O'Neal was because I worked for the WMBA and the NBA, so I met a lot of you know, a lot of deals. Um uh it was Prince. I never met Prince, but I did work at his club. I worked at First Avenue, and uh I did meet Prince uh uh in the sense that he walked by me, but I wasn't allowed, I wasn't allowed to look at him because we would get fired. This is when he was a symbol, and and you and you're not allowed to look him in the eye, so I was never able to really meet him. I was never able to meet him.
SPEAKER_03So all right, so we're one-in-one. All right, you guys, are you ready? All right, okay. Um, all right, so I met Gina Davis. I don't know if you know this, but she is from Mata Poisset, um uh Mass, and that's where I grew up. And so she was home visiting, and then I met her in a store. Um, just like kind of like, hi, you know, it wasn't like and we didn't have we didn't have phones back then, so I don't have a proof. Um and then when I was very little, um, we lived in New Hampshire, and um Nixon was actually, yeah, he was campaigning. Um and um I was the only very little child around, and he picked me up. And so there were no cameras back then either. And then um, yeah, so and then um lastly um I went to go see um we were in New York, I was with in New York with my friend, and we went to see Regis and Kelly, and Regis wasn't there, but um Jeff Garland was filling in for Regis. And so I really wanted to meet Kelly, but I didn't get to meet Kelly. And then we walked out like the uh we walked out like the back door and Jeff Garland was there, like getting ready to cross the street. And so we're like, oh hi, blah, blah, blah. And we did get a picture of that. Um, so there's my three.
SPEAKER_00Joey, you stall while I go to her Facebook page to see if I can find the picture of Jeff.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna, I feel like the Nixon thing isn't real.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so I'm I'm gonna say Nixon. You never met him.
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna say the first one, Gina Davis. I'm gonna, I don't know why. I just feel like that like I feel like you probably have some crazy Nixon story that actually happened. And me being a you know, me, I'm uh I do a lot of jokes about presidents and all you know, not topical stuff, but just weird, you know, uh facts about presidents. I want that one to be so true, just so I can hear the story again. But I'm gonna go Gina Davis. That's what I'm gonna get.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so um I didn't meet Jeff Garland, that is true. I do have a picture somewhere. Um, I don't know where, but I do have a picture somewhere of uh Jeff Garland. Um the Nixon story. It is true, it is true. I did he did pick me up when I was little because I was the only kid around, and it should have been in the paper because I was um and I did not meet Gina Davis, even though she is from Matipoiset, uh Massachusetts. Um, so you got me on that one, Andy.
SPEAKER_00So we're tied up in the 111. Yeah, it's a it's a tie. Did you know, like when you when Nixon picked you up, did you know, like, oh, this was the president?
SPEAKER_03Did you was it a big deal for you, or were you just a president at the time he was campaigning, and I was so little that I didn't know like who's this guy?
SPEAKER_00Didn't know, didn't care.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, um I had no idea.
SPEAKER_00That's amazing though.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, isn't that cool? I mean, I only know that because my parents, you know, were like, you know, and then that's it's usually not something to be proud of. You know what I mean? It always kind of ends like that. So what are you gonna do? I don't know. Oh my goodness. So, you guys, um, I can't wait to work with you again. Um, I enjoy working with both of you so much, you're so much fun.
SPEAKER_00It's the best, you know. We Joey and I have done that Canada tour a couple times and run into each other a couple times on the road, and it's always uh it's always a blast hanging and obviously getting to do the funny together tour. I get spending time with Rhonda as well. So I I love it, man. Anytime I get a chance to work with you guys, it's uh it's a huge pleasure. So uh hopefully we'll get a chance to do it again sometime.
SPEAKER_03Absolutely.
Colossians 3:23 And Tour Invite
SPEAKER_03All right, I'm just gonna end with uh with a verse, okay, and this is uh uh Colossians 3.23, and it says, and this is from the NLT version, work willingly at whatever you do as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people, because we are working for people, but ultimately we're working for the CEO um of the world, and uh and and that's and that's the Lord. So um I love to do what we do. I can't wait. Check us out on the tour, see if our tour is coming to your neighborhood, and if not, you know, make sure, like let your pastors know. Uh, we would love to come and perform. Oh my gosh, the three of us, that would be that would be the most fun show.
SPEAKER_00And who knows, maybe Nixon will be there.
SPEAKER_03Nixon, if he's there, we're in big trouble. All right.
