The Rock 108 Morning Show with Brian Marshall · Thu Jun 29, 2023
I tell you this, with the weekend being the way that it is, I mean, you've got a full fourth of July weekend.
And with summer right here right now, kids are going nuts inside, right?
Eric Hart, marketing director from the Indian Creek Nature Center joining us.
Welcome to the show.
Happy to be here, Brian.
Tell me about this.
For those who haven't been to or they live outside of Cedar Rapids, give me a brief synopsis of what the Indian Creek Nature Center is and what it's all about.
Right, Indian Creek Nature Center has been an independent nonprofit educating people on how to interact responsibly with nature for 50 years.
We're just outside of Cedar Rapids and we got trails, we got educational programs, we got all kinds of nature-inspired events that bring people out.
to get excited about the outdoors.
So one of the things I remember when I was growing up is the, the big barn, which is, I guess would be the old property now.
You guys are on Otis Road in a new facility, right?
Yep.
Yeah.
And we, yeah, we started down to Pain Roth Barn.
We moved just a little bit down the road.
We still use the barn for maple syrup and programs.
We have a sugar house down there that we use for honey extraction and maple syrup.
We build the new building called Amazing Space just down the road in 2016.
The building is really magical.
It's net-zero water, net-zero energy.
Wow.
Completely solar-powered, geothermal energy.
It's pretty great.
So it makes its own everything at that point, doesn't it?
Yeah, it kind of...
We call it regenerative because it actually gives more back to the land than it rests on than it takes.
Oh, wow.
It's
pretty cool.
So this BioBlitz that's going on right now is part of your 50th anniversary celebration.
What's that about?
What's the what's going on here for today?
Right.
BioBlitz might be something that sounds like a weird thing, but essentially a BioBlitz is just asking the community to come out and help document as many living things as possible in a certain area in a specified amount of time.
And that's what we're doing this week.
So this would be something that's perfect for the kids because they're getting a chance to learn about not only the environment that's around us but getting a chance to
Go check off the boxes gain achievements like if we're using a video game term, right?
Yeah, that's right It's totally for anybody.
You don't need to have a science degree or anything to be able to come on have fun There's a free app called iNaturalist that you can download and all you have to do is take a picture of whatever you find Yeah, you don't even need to know what kind of flower or bug it is the app will actually give you suggestions and all you have to do is confirm but I think it's this and that that picture of the spider or the
the wild rose or whatever you find goes right to the nature center and we can use that information to make educated decisions on how to take care of the land moving forward for decades.
So you get people that will be on the iNaturalist app, which is a free app, right?
Yep, totally free.
And so you go out there and you're taking pictures of plants and identifying what they are.
Have you had anybody that's found something that you guys hadn't known was on site here recently?
We found all kinds of different stuff.
We've had
over 70 people make over 2,500 observations of 500 in different species.
So, I know our team that manages the land probably knows exactly which one of those would be surprises.
And I'm sure that there's plenty that they're going to glean from all this.
Eric Hart, marketing director from the Indian Creek Nature Center here on the Rock 108 Morning Show.
Tonight, I see between four and eight pints on the patio.
That's pretty cool that you're being able to not only enjoy nature, but on top of that, maybe having a pint as well.
That's right.
Yeah.
Just $2 pints when you come out to a patio.
So if you want to go explore the trails, cool off with a couple of pints after or come and have a couple of pints and make the hike a little more adventurous on your way out.
Yeah.
You can come out and have a good time.
There's also
Yeah, we could also in trying people to explore different areas of our 500 acres that we protect each day and today we're actually inviting people to explore a brand new trail that That we're we created just a little bit down the Otis Road from our main site.
Okay called the vetch need trail.
It's all these beautiful woodlands that That the trails just just been being built
and one of the things that you had mentioned here earlier to me today is that
even if you need a little bit of assistance, you have all-terrain chairs that are available to traverse this new trail.
That's right.
We want to make sure that nature is as accessible as possible for anyone.
So during the BioBlitz, we have three all-terrain chairs or outdoor wheelchairs that essentially they can access terrain way better than a normal wheelchair could.
So if anyone has temporary or permanent mobility issues,
They can stop by or online reserve one of these chairs for free.
And then you can go out and explore the trails, maybe in a much further than you could in a wheelchair or with like a walker.
Yeah, that's cool.
Eric Hart, marketing director, Indian Creek Nature Center at 5300 Otis Road, Southeast Cedar Rapids.
Can't approach it from Bertram Road because of the bridge work right now.
So Otis Road or what's another way that you can access it from Mount Vernon Road in Cedar Rapids?
Right.
If you're coming from Mount Vernon Road, you can't take the usual Bircham Road bridge, so you have to turn on to 44th Street, which is just a little closer to downtown from Bircham Road.
And then you'll just connect on Otis Road from there.
Perfect.
Ways to learn more info, it's IndianCreekNatureCenter.com.
Where else are you guys on social media?
Right.
You can find us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
And if anyone
takes a cool picture that they take while they're out bioblitzing.
You can share that with hashtag ICNC Biodiversity.
And I'm also going to be a part of that.
I want to be a part of this maple syrup one more time out there.
So looking forward to it.
Eric, thanks for joining the show today.
Well, thank
you, Brian.
Coming up here in just a few of the forecast and throwback Thursday continues.
Who used all the Wi-Fi?
Ah, apartment life.
Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.
Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.
Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.
Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.
That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.
Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.
Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?
First
day having a guest in studio right now and a guy that had been on the airwaves and with me back in November, right?
Something like that.
Yeah, back over Thanksgiving around that time.
Anyway, I was going to ask the question.
Why are you back?
But I figured it out.
You're here to announce your presidential
bid, right?
I am.
I'm running for president under the not either party candidate.
Okay.
So I don't like.
the left or the right that much
right
now, honestly.
So you're running underneath your own powers right now.
What's your platform?
I'm the static candidate.
Yes.
So my platform has to be, you know, as much as I endorse craziness, but not political craziness.
Because that's already
happening.
It's already happening.
So I'm like running under.
maybe social craziness, but political sanity.
I know they're kind of oxymoronical, but yeah, I think.
Social craziness, but political what?
What did you just say?
Social crazy.
You don't remember sanity.
I don't know.
I just pulled that out of I pulled that out of Uranus and mine.
Oh, mine.
I'm sorry.
I don't know where it's coming from.
So I
know you lived in California for a bit, but come on now.
You know, it is nice being back and not having to step over like needles and stuff like that on the ground.
You moved
out there when?
How
long ago?
About 10 years ago.
No kidding.
And
you went
out there originally for work.
What do you just to change a scenery
or what was it?
I went out there.
Yeah.
A little bit of a change of scenery.
My brother was out there.
Now he's back here, but.
went out there, was gonna try to get into the standup scene a little bit more, see if I could fall into radio, start up a podcast, stuff like that.
And, well, I didn't really find my spot in the standup scene
out there.
A lot of it's too PC for me, coming from
the Midwest, I don't know.
As I said last time, you don't wanna miss gender or ladybug or else you'll be in trouble.
You know, and.
So you did do the podcast, which we talked about on the last time that you were here.
Yeah.
Uh, you, you're thinking about sparking the fire and getting that thing back up and running again.
Now that, now that my kids get in a little bit older, maybe I can find a little bit of time to record a podcast, but you know, it was just.
a little chaotic for a little while.
Now
he's two and a half and still chaotic, but maybe I'll be able to find something, whether it'll be uncontained again or if it'll be something else, I'm not sure.
But I
stole your guest in Tom Garland.
He comes on this show quite a bit.
So you
can't have him back.
What?
Yeah.
No, I
took ownership.
He was my first podcast guest.
And then like I had him on every hundred episodes.
So he was on at 100 and 200.
You should
swing on by his catacombs and comedy.
That's tonight.
If I can get away from get one of the grandparents to watch the kid.
So grandparents, if you're listening,
the toss up was
either come on the
Rockaway morning show or go to catacombs and comedy
tonight.
Right.
Well, the kids still home with my
wife and hope they're probably still sleeping right now.
Maybe waking up.
So I don't know.
Right now is the easy part.
We'll take care of that.
Getting into that sleeping state.
That's the hard part.
More with static here on the Rock 108 morning.
So as we go through throwback Thursday, this is Papa Roach of the American dreams.
Seven seven fold and their latest called nobody on Rock 108 to get out of rock radio for a little while static.
And then everybody starts introducing cellos and violins and such.
I know
it sounded very.
Classy have you heard that before I haven't heard that one.
No, I've been I've been listened to some XM radio out in the area dare you I'm sorry, but they It's their fault.
Why is it there?
Because it's not none of the radio stations are that great honestly most of it's like imagine dragons Which you know if that's your thing that's great, but then that's all
I don't know.
I've always said that we were gonna be the first generation that turns to our kids and say, turn that stuff down, not because it's too heavy, but because it's too soft.
You know, like, turn that whiny stuff down.
I don't wanna hear it.
You're making me feel emotion or something.
See, and you had spent time in radio, so are you listening to...
Radio in the Bay area with radio ears on I
mean yes, I am
quite how long were you at 94 what
I was at 94 one for about seven years in the college radio for three years and like I'm a bit riding around in my in the car and Listening to radio with my wife and be like I don't like his voice.
It's just like
like no I don't like the way he talks.
I don't like his vocal pattern I don't like you know his enunciation.
He just sounds
I don't know.
It doesn't, it doesn't sound real.
That's funny.
So she's like, you're, you're, you're too picky or you're, you're, or something like, why are you so harsh on him?
I'm like, cause I worked in radio.
It's like she works in finance.
I'm like, if somebody made a bonehead finance movie, you'd probably call them out on it.
Right?
Well, it's not broadcast out to thousands though.
What's that?
It's not broadcast out to thousands with
the financial,
you know, you just got like two people and you can, you know, sweep it underneath the rug.
Exactly.
She's don't tell them.
Don't tell the legal system about this.
I don't want to be soon.
All right.
So one of the things that you and I both did a bunch of is going to concerts.
Oh,
yeah.
Have you heard that some people have concert amnesia?
Have you heard of this?
So I forget about it.
Yeah.
Of course.
There's
these.
No, I haven't heard of
these people go into Taylor Swift concerts that are having trouble remembering the Taylor Swift shows because they get so wound up and they're jumping and they're screaming and they're having a great time and they're forgetting.
Okay.
Is it here?
Here's the theory behind that may not be because it's such an awesome experience.
Yeah.
But you know, a lot of people go to the shows now and don't actually pay attention to the show.
They look at it through their phone.
So maybe they just thought they were watching a very loud YouTube video.
Right.
Right.
It's, it's a possibility.
See, and I'm the type that will grab like one or two shots of the show, you know, Megadeth was one of those where I did, you know, pop the thing up.
Okay.
I want to see David Mustang, you know, do his thing and
then put
it down and then, okay, experience the rest of it.
Solo right exactly or like you you have the song that you like came to here Yeah, and you you want to take a little bit of that with you but not the whole song but to record some of it then experience some of it or just take a couple pictures and Then stand there in front of the loud subwoofer and speak big speakers for the concert and Typically you should for the best sound by the sound booth, but if you want to get up front
Do that too.
You
know what?
You just mentioned something.
I was just at the show.
It was breaking Benjamin at the Five Flags Center in Dubuque.
Good show.
Bush opened up for him.
Okay.
And breaking Benjamin had subwoofers right there along the front.
So if you were in the front, the subs were right there.
You know, you just said sitting back by the sound booth is probably the best because that's where the best sound is going to be aimed for is for the sound booth, right?
Yeah, it's where it's mixed.
Right.
So if you don't want to be upfront and you don't want to be next to the band, the best place to listen is by the sound booth pro tip fellas.
But here's the thing on that show, those subs were directed right at the audience.
And when the kick drum from breaking Benjamin hit, it was like you were being hit by a machine gun.
Wow.
It was to a point where I'm like, okay, your plugs in because that's the way I run with shows because I go to so many.
Yeah.
Yeah.
at very least ball up some toilet paper and putting your ears.
You can still hear people talk.
That's a pro tip too.
If you don't have ear buds or like ear plugs, it will help.
It's just enough to stop your ears from ringing the next day.
I love it.
More pro tips from static
and
Brian Marshall on the rock.
What a white morning show.
I have a throwback Thursday track from the year he graduated 1999 and has ties to him next.
So this song came out in 1999.
It was the very first song we ever heard from this band.
And I picked it because I thought since I have static in the studio, who used to have the hair of Wayne
static.
Do you know what song I'm going to play?
Any idea of Wisconsin death strip.
Yeah, is it push it?
Nope not push it before that.
Oh Let me go back.
I'm you thinking a while since I thought about this, but it's a lot of chopped up words.
Yes
Yes, that's the best way to
describe
it a Lot of chopped up words in Bledford days static
X
throwback Thursday on rock 108
They're at another station to say that they played something that heavy this early in the morning.
They're probably lying.
You build it up or in a different time zone.
We dare you to play at this heavy.
Uh, you were named static.
That was your gimmick name, uh, by the guy that's working with us now, uh, Lou Waters.
He
and Scott Steele had named you.
that because you had the big hair at the time, right?
Was that by
choice?
I had, I had spiky hair and then it wasn't as big as it got when I got the name, but I had spiky hair and a goatee.
That was kind of long.
And at first, um,
they said that I looked kind of like Colin Farrell and I was like, hold up, hold up.
You are not calling me Colin or Farrell on the air.
I don't care.
Even though looking back, Farrell could have been kind of cool, but I don't know.
I think
static
was a was a better fit.
So they were like, OK, OK, you look with the hair and the goatee.
You look kind of like Wayne static.
Yeah.
And.
I was like, okay, I can roll with static.
So that's kind of how that came about.
Did you, uh, you get a lot of questions of people asking you about static X songs and which ones were your favorites?
I got, I got some, I got a lot of obscure, obscure questions as well.
Like that had to do nothing with the genre of music that we played, but you know, being a radio station DJ, you tend to end up knowing stuff that you like.
Don't even know how you know, you know
Sad well like you said, you know, I try past Otsego, Minnesota and static X had songs that are Otsego amigo Otsego electric, you know all those and I look at it and go static X would have loved this town Yeah,
it's the
stupid stuff like that.
Isn't it?
Yeah, it's you didn't have to say yeah after
I said
stupid
Well, I
agree.
OK.
I don't want to lie to you, Brian.
That's fine.
But I have lots of stupid random trivia in my head, too.
It's just pulling it out with the right questions.
So there you go.
Uh, veller revolver.
You remember that band slithers up next on rock.
108.
Don't die on the rock.
108 morning show.
Brian Marshall with my radio friends static.
The last time we hung out together was November and seems like every time that you're in town and what do I say, come on in, get
on the microphone.
I'm like, all right, you're going to let me talk on this microphone when the thing is red.
Yeah, that's right.
And not pay you for it and not pay me for free labor.
You know, that's
Nobody else wants to work, so why not?
NASA also wants some free labor.
They want your cell phone pictures to help identify UFOs.
Are you seeing UFOs where you live?
In
California?
I have not, unfortunately.
There's too much light pollution.
Oh, right.
Ideas to collect unclassified crowdsourced data as in your photos and videos to get a sense of what people are seeing and what these weird things in the sky might be.
I'm wondering how many depics NASA's going to get.
Just like here's this I unidentified flying.
Nope.
You have D maybe.
You have W enter unidentified wiener flying
wiener.
Somebody's going to get really drunk and send a bunch of them to NASA.
Here you go.
What do you think
about this?
They're creating an algorithm that could piece together pictures and videos to find common details that might make unidentified flying objects a bit more identifiable.
You said light pollution, but when the, uh, what is it?
The SpaceX satellites that they go past with the internet, when those flew over Iowa, people lost their minds.
Cause they would fly over and they were in a row of like 20 or something.
They're like, Oh, there they go.
They're fine.
Like it was coming.
It's happening.
The Vulcans are here.
It's independence day all over again.
Where's Will Smith?
He's busy slapping Chris
Rock.
News on the way
with Beth
Maliki.
I'm sorry.
No, you're not.
Teen, it is a throwback Thursday.
So a throwback Thursday track, one that was selected by my guest Static here in just a few moments and tell the story as to why he chose that song.
Right now, it's the crew.
Kickstart my Rock 108 morning show at 924.
Good morning, Russ.
Morning.
And to our guest, Static.
Hey, good morning.
Have you ever wondered at the end of that song, have you ever wondered if that was Stephen Hawking saying, kicks out my heart?
I don't get it.
Stephen Hawking had the, uh- He was in
the
wheelchair, right?
That's right.
And he talked like they had the robotic voice, get it, start my heart.
I'm sorry if you didn't explain that for me.
Jokes are funnier, jokes are funnier when you have to explain them apparently.
It's still early for
me,
I just walked in.
Fair enough, fair enough.
I actually woke up today at like 5.30 thinking I was late because it was so bright outside.
Yeah.
Like I woke up and I was like, oh my-
A long list of, because then I looked at my phone, I was like, oh, I can go back to sleep, okay.
I told you you didn't have to be here until eight, you
know.
I
know, but, you know, that's coming
for me.
What
time did you get in?
I got in just about eight, so I took my time to get here.
I had some coffee at my mom's house, and then came here.
That's nice.
I'm not in the basement though, so I'm actually up on the second floor.
So I'm not, you're moving on up.
I know, right?
Deluxe apartment in Iowa City.
Judgey John sent in a text with static at care and a when they went through that alt phase
They had some alternative music there as well when I was playing when I was there was a mix so we had because rock 108
had the corner on like the heavier, more aggressive, active rock.
Then the Fox had the corner on the classic rock.
And I'm just throwing out all sorts of competitors names here.
So we'll just roll with it.
Why not give them some airtime?
No.
But then so we kind of took like a little bit of alternative, classic rock and some of the heavier.
We played some slipknot and stuff like that.
And then I made some of the bands I didn't like.
You're playing cranberries next to slipknot.
You know, I don't think I did that, but I played the later shift.
So I didn't really have to play the cranberries and let it linger too long.
Yeah, that was a bad cranberry joke.
Most of them are.
But I had to explain it too.
I know, I know, it's funnier when you explain it.
Can
you make a good cranberry joke?
I don't know, cranberry, you said.
Ocean Spray has to be in there somewhere.
I think it might have to involve UTA.
Oh, no.
Do I need to explain that one, too?
You're a very tract infection.
Our ETI, sorry.
Yeah, I was gonna say, you
picked the wrong
vowel.
You
know.
That's why I never made it on Wheel of Fortune.
Yeah, probably not.
I'd like to buy an eye or an A. I don't know which one.
There's sound.
What does an infection start with?
So the
answer is yes to John.
Yes.
Throwback Thursday, you picked a song that is not alternative.
You picked a song that is from the band Seven Dust.
Yes.
Which you've got ties to being back here since they were, how many times did we see them?
Oh God, I can't even, I probably more than I have fingers.
Yeah.
Maybe even toes.
When's the first time you saw them?
It was back in 99, like first year in college, fresh out of high school.
I saw them at, I think it was the, it was the Mark and Molina at that time.
I don't know what it's called now, but I'm sure it has some big phone company or something behind it.
But yeah, I went to see, I actually went to the show.
to see kid rock.
And I was like, okay, seven does.
They could be cool.
Cause I didn't know a whole lot
of
bottom at the time.
Then they came on and I was like, Oh my God, this is awesome.
We got the tickets, had seats and went into general admission.
So.
we hopped the barrier, but I think I'm past the statute of limitations on that so they can't come get
me.
So we ran
into the, ran onto the floor, did some crowd surfing for that.
Then kid rock came on and he played a singles like double without a cause, ball with a ball, all that stuff.
And then.
He went into doing Hank Williams Jr.
covers.
And I'm like, dude, if I wanted to go see Hank Williams Jr., I'd go see Hank Williams Jr.
All right.
I came to hear some like of your music and I just left loving Seven Dust and being on Kid Rock.
He did have a show.
He did have a couple of shows that I saw later that kind of were better.
There were more his material, but.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just kid is kind of
earned the right to do whatever the hell you know
that point Not that that was that was back in like the devil without a cost CD that 99 he Basically, it was almost saying like I have my singles off this album and then I have Hank Williams junior
covers to play for you
see on that on that tour Yes, he was yes.
He was he was trying to get people to throw weed up on stage He's like where you're we that where you we that and then trying to get chicks
the flash him, of course, because well, his little hands, because he can only see them from the stage.
He's too short.
He has to look up there like skyscrapers.
Well, we have seven dust coming up shortly, and we've got locked in a interview where I'm going to be talking with Lejeune and feature the conversation tomorrow.
Speaking of short people
who can't reach the mic.
Easy.
Like I can beat you up and he will.
Uh, we got bitch coming up next off the band's debut album and selected by our guest.
It's seven dust for throwback Thursday, bitch on the rock 108 morning.
The Raiders, they've already left because of you.
Yeah.
Well, and the
A's are going to go too.
Yeah.
Well,
they're just getting away from you.
Probably, probably, probably, you know, it's hard to talk like you.
It's hard to talk like me.
Yeah.
Cause you have a very distinct way of talking.
Very very
low.
Are you trying to copy me right now?
He's a little more expressiveness to his voice.
He does I can hear that.
Yeah, I don't know my voice is weird.
So I'm when I Yeah, when I hear it sometimes I'm like, that's interesting.
Sometimes it's kind of high pitch and low pitch at the same time and There's like a high end and a low end and like that
just be a middle pitch at that point
But it's like almost in my ears.
It's almost two different pitches
But, you
know, that's
what makes the comic comedic delivery.
You can tell a joke that just the word, just the way you say it is funny.
Yeah,
I guess so.
Yeah.
I'm surprised you didn't book yourself, you know, a couple of stand updates while you're home, you know, visiting family.
Well, I haven't done it for a while, as I told you last time, because I'm afraid I'll get canceled so much.
Maybe I'll make a stop out of the catacombs of comedy if if I can.
at once again, get the grandparents to watch the kid.
What's the catacombs of comedy?
That's Tom
Garland's piece
of business.
Thursday night.
Yeah.
So it's got open mic that goes with it too.
Nice.
Where's that out again?
It's not, it's in town and country, right?
Right.
You know where First Ave Live used to be?
Yeah.
Just around the corner.
It's not the same.
It's not the same.
It's not First Ave Live.
It's
on the other side.
It's okay.
The beauty is when you walk out the front door of the place, you take a right, there's a Thai restaurant right next door.
Is Vino's still there?
I don't think so.
The RG Books?
Yes.
The Italian restaurant?
Yes, I haven't been inside.
I forgot, because I told Russ, you got to go to this place, it's got books and such, and there's an Italian restaurant.
And I forgot the name of it.
And then there it
is.
What's the name of it?
Vino's or RG Books.
Isn't that same shopping show?
Yeah, it's in the same shopping show.
Holy crap.
My buddy Grinch actually used to cook there.
That's right!
Grinch.
Black Tooth Grinch.
I gotta go.
Black Tooth Grinch.
Well, is it going to be another six months before I see you again or what?
I don't know.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Hopefully it won't be that long.
Hopefully I can make it back more frequently, but I'd love to stop in and keep on hitting the counter and making great radio by pounding on the counter.
I'm sorry.
I hate when people do that.
So now I hate myself.
I apologize.
I'm like keeping pace with my voice, but.
Yeah, if you'll have me back, I'd love to come back and the
door is always open.
I told you that.
All right.
It's always fun.
Double shot lunch today will play right into the heart of what you and I had played back in the day.
What do we got?
2009?
2009, I
believe
breaking Benjamin is in there and kind of gives you an idea of where we're at along with.
So
what's what's one of the weird ones
Janice I saw do you know it?
Oh, yeah,
yeah There's
another recognize that voice That voice once told me with a voice like that.
What are you doing over a kRNA?
Oh my god I felt like it was a cheesy like sleazy pickup line.
I was like you got to buy me a drink first
Cottage cheese
on the
second plate.
It's tradition.
Yeah, I don't have as good of a of imitation I don't know if he his name shall remain nameless or not or if you can say it here cross yeah, okay, so we can say it Cats out of the bag.
We don't hide
anything Sometimes we do
So 2009 on the double shot lunch.
So don't stop listening to serious XM and listen to us on the app when you're back.
As I said, when I'm back here, I listen when I'm in California, I'm not a big fan of a lot of the radio stations out there and it's turned that off because it's too whiny.
The internet works in
California too.
You know, you can listen.
I have, I have said, Hey, echo play rock one away.
See,
that's it.
I haven't been able to use the dot in my office for so long because I forgot the wake-up command.
Are you
serious?
Oh, you have the little dot.
Okay, not the show.
No.
If you're having problems, get the Echo show or the Amazon show.
It will say, say, wake up Alexa, wake up Echo or wake up Dot.
It'll remind you.
I know you were saying it's tough getting old.
I don't want to throw you under the bus on that, but I'm just helping you out.
I just got locked out of my Echo Dot.
What the hell?
I
haven't used it for months because I forgot.
Or if you're sticking with the Echo Dot just as a via Bolton board, you can just put, say, hey, Echo on the
wall.
I had a little index card with the commands next to it.
Hey, Echo, do something.
I lost the index card.
We should probably get some tape for him so
we can put it out there.
Yeah, tape, Bolton, push pins, something like that.
Come on,
That's it for today, but I'm glad I could help you out.
And that that's really why I came to visit just to help him get into his ass.
Wait, you bastard.
You'll be here soon.
You're back sooner than you think.
Get off my lawn.
He sounds like that too.
Sometimes.
So the takeaway from the show, make sure that you use your echo.
Hey, echo.
He's going to go do it.
You're just a second.
All right.
Russ is in next on the rock.
What a way.
