00:00Amy and Sean on 1027 VGS.
00:08This is true. What a dummy.
00:12So I moved here when I was 20 years old. I hadn't been many places like in my adult life. Really,
00:20I went to college for a year in a little small town in New York. And so moving here was like a
00:28big shock to me. Yeah, I remember the same feeling when you're here. It's like, wow,
00:32I'm on my own. Although you were actually going to family, but yeah.
00:35Yeah, but yeah, exactly. So anyways, we lived in Summerlin and I was like, I feel like I was going
00:43to the airport, picking somebody up. I don't remember exactly why I was just in an unfamiliar
00:48area. Like I used, like my mom and I joke that we have bubbles, like that we stay in, in Las Vegas.
00:55This is a whole nother conversation. We have our quadrants. We don't leave our quadrants.
01:00I don't go north of Summerlin Parkway. I don't go typically east of the 15th.
01:05Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, for sure. Everyone's got their bubbles. Exactly.
01:08So I was in a very unfamiliar area and I had to get gas. So I pull over and I grabbed the gun or
01:20whatever you call it and I realized that it's not going. Nozzle. The nozzle. The gun. The gun.
01:26It's not fitting into my gas tank. Huh. So I take it upon myself and use my fare and circus skills
01:37and I shoot it into my car as if I'm playing one of those games, you know, the games where
01:43you have to shoot the water into the hole and see the guy go up. Yeah, the clown, the balloon
01:47pops over his head. So I shoot it in there and I think it was only like $20 worth. So shoot
01:53the gas in there and then I'm like, what a stupid gas station this is. Like God, how come
01:58like these nozzles are not universal for all cars? Like this is so crazy. Man, they really,
02:05the gas stations on this side of town are so much different. Swear to God, that's what
02:11I'm saying to myself as I'm shooting gas into my car from afar. So I get back in my car,
02:17I start it and I hit the gas pedal and it doesn't do anything. It's like not moving. And then
02:24I'm like, stupid car. Press harder and it takes off super fast. And I'm like, gosh,
02:30this car is so dumb. The gas station's dumb. Everything's dumb and I'm not. So then I,
02:37the next day, same thing, go to take off. It doesn't. Then I'm mad at Nissan. I'm like,
02:41you know what? They sold me a lemon. Oh, wow. I go to Nissan. I said, you guys fix this car.
02:47It's like, I've only had it a few months and now like it's breaking down what the heck is going
02:51on. Is it Planet Nissan or Henderson Nissan? Which one? I believe it was Planet. Okay. So
02:56Planet A, you're going to have an apology very soon. Yes. Yeah, for sure. So, so they call me,
03:03they call my mom, my mom and I, and they said, uh, there is diesel fuel in your car.
03:12And, and my mom says, Oh my God, somebody must've put diesel in your car. Like, like,
03:20a, like a bully or something. And I'm like this, for sure. Somebody put diesel in my car. Those
03:29bullies, somebody's out, somebody's out to get me. And I'm like, Oh my God, what am I going to do?
03:36And I, sure enough though, my Nissan Sentra actually survived. Wow. Yes. How much did it cost you
03:44though? I don't think I paid them to fix it. I think that I just get like ran it through its
03:51course. And I'm not kidding you. That's shocking. So really, almost an applause for Nissan. That's
03:58amazing. That's incredible. Swear. We've all done dumb stuff. 702-597-1027. The dumbest thing you've
04:04ever done. Now, I mean, I, we don't have all day. They want us to keep these breaks relatively short.
04:09One, one, I was trying dumbest, but like early in my career, I wanted to, you know, wanted to try
04:16to get the attention of program directors in radio and you try to, this is a lot of people that apply
04:21for jobs. Right. So I want mine to show up at the top. So I'm like, I'm broke. Yeah. And there was a
04:26guy named Chaz, who's the program director of a station, uh, in, in Connecticut. And I'm like,
04:31you know what? I want to get Chaz's attention. So here's what I did. I bought a dozen roses and
04:38it was a, had a singing card. And as the song was, let me call you sweetheart. Let me call you
04:44sweetheart. But I wrote, let me call you boss. Right. So I'm like, Hey, I'm going to get this
04:51person's attention. They're going to love me. Yeah. They're going to call me in for an interview.
04:55Uh-huh. No call. No week goes by two weeks go by. I have a friend of mine that works at that
05:02station. I'm like, Hey, what, um, what's the situation? I sent Chaz flowers. I never got a response.
05:06And he's like, well, Chaz got the flowers and she thought it was incredibly sexist and rude.
05:12It was a female Chaz. I had no idea. Oh my goodness. I only knew male Chazes. Yeah. Same.
05:19Oh no. I'll play it for myself. Yeah, for sure. You should always check, check before. Yeah. I
05:27would never have said that to a woman. That would be incredibly rude. I hate buying flowers too. It's
05:31my least favorite thing to do ever. 227 VGS, Amy and Sean and our boss for the first time is joining
05:38us in studio. Ooh, I'm excited. Okay. Our boss really wanted to come in and tell us how dumb he
05:43is. So I just thought I'd share because I wanted Amy to feel like is dumb as you think you are.
05:48There are people dumb as you think you are. And I'm not even talking about Sean, which is the
05:53amazing part about all this. Wow. HR? No, not as far as you know. Okay. So this is during
05:59college, early twenties, stupid dude. And we had to cover a football game in Lincoln, Nebraska
06:05and drive there. I mean, a buddy for radio, of course. And I had a diesel car, a green pump
06:12stick. Yeah. Yeah. Different colors. I found out. Different girth. Yeah. A little bit. So car
06:19burned oil a lot of the time. So I would keep like a bunch of oil in the trunk of the car,
06:23get about an hour outside of Wichita and oil pressure light comes on. And I put some oil
06:28in when we were in Wichita. And so we pull over to the side of the road. We're two miles
06:32past Minneapolis, Kansas. Population 2000. Lovely place to live. Minneapolis, Kansas.
06:37Minneapolis, Kansas. There's a Minneapolis in Kansas. Been there, done that. Not the same
06:41as the one in Minnesota, I might point out. Yeah. No kidding. And there's no cap on the
06:46oil thing, whatever you call it that you put the oil in. I'd forgotten to put the cap
06:51back on. So all the oil's blown out all over the engine compartment. Great. Well, but I
06:55got tons of oil in the back of the car, right? So I put some oil back in, but I can't find
06:58the cap anywhere. Yeah. And so what do I do? I very carefully, very safely, I got to put
07:04something over it. I put a sock over the top of it. And that was fine. And we drove back
07:10to scenic Minneapolis. We go to the only auto parts store in town and it's Friday. It's
07:14like 4 PM. There's a high school football game and now we're up the road. So the whole
07:17town's gone. We walk into the auto parts store. They've only got two oil covers in the whole
07:22place. We buy them both. Neither one fits. Oh my God. Fine. We go back to the car. And
07:27by the way, epilogue part one, the cover was sitting right there where it should have been
07:33in the engine compartment. Stupid just didn't even see it. Yeah. And we put the sock back
07:38only this time, maybe not quite as carefully. Start the car. Oh, nice. Socks been sucked
07:43down the camp shaft. Nah. There we go. Oh my God. Wrapped around the camp shaft with
07:47the engine. Okay. So there's three guys working at the, at the, I think it was a true value
07:53auto parts, but whatever it was. And they're all mechanics and they pushed the car around
07:58the back. And my buddy and me spent three hours walking around Minneapolis, Kansas, population
08:032000. The only cop in town is sitting there. He thinks he's so clever. He's in his squad
08:08car and he's tailing us the whole time. Because obviously the two long hairs from California
08:12are probably going to cause some kind of trouble. And we keep going back and checking
08:17and you just see these three guys sitting there with, with wrenches and whatnot, pulling little
08:21pieces of sock out of the, out of the camshaft of my car. Oh my God. We finally, we actually
08:26went to the County Museum, which sounds like it's going to be really dumb. I'm not kidding
08:29when I say it was actually really cool because it's a little small town. It's like they had
08:33the perfectly preserved uniform. Steve, I got to be honest. This story really sucks.
08:37Yeah, it does. I know. When you work in this business as long as we do, you turn into a
08:43really oily bastard. There we go. Thank you very much. Hey, listen, we have tickets to
08:48John Legend all this week. So let me get to your payoff. Good for you. Yes. Your payoff is we go
08:52to pay for the car and I've taken every penny I got but 50 bucks and shoved it down my sock
08:58because I assume I'm going to hear, boy, how much money you got? The guy looks at me and he goes,
09:02well, here's how much it's going to cost because we tried to save it and we couldn't. And I said,
09:05what? He goes, the air filter. So that was $9. So your total cost is $29. We're sorry.
09:11Three guys, three man hours in Minneapolis, Kansas and 29 bucks. I gave him 50. I'm like, dude.
09:18That's a very necessary part of the story. Dude, keep the change. Okay. It's a tip. $29. Very good.
09:25You just had to buy new socks after that. So Amy. Yeah. You're not the dumbest one in the building.
09:30Just say it. Okay. Clear. Yeah. Yeah. And by the way, John Legend tickets. Awesome. What we're
09:38doing next Monday at 7.58 AM. Pretty awesome. Awesome. Way awesome. Way awesome. Totally way
09:43awesome. And right now, if anyone's still listening, 702. Sorry. I love you, Steve. I'm sorry.
09:51It's okay. I hate you with everything you stand for. 702-597-1027. First four callers. We're
09:59about to play Radio Roulette. Oh boy. I'm never sharing with you again. No, that's okay. No,
10:05you did great. It was great. It was awesome. Three callers enter. Only one leaves with the prize.
10:13Amy and Sean's Radio Roulette. 1027 VGS. Yes, it is time, ladies and gentlemen, for Radio Roulette.
10:20Only problem is. Hey, Nicole, how are you? How are you? Okay. You've heard how this game
10:29is played before, right? We got four people on the line. They all hang up and, you know,
10:32somebody wins, right? Okay. Yeah. Okay. Did you hear the story that our boss had earlier?
10:39I just slightly heard it. I just walked into my extreme room. Okay. So thank goodness she
10:43didn't hear it. Oh, good. So that's why you're still listening. So, yeah. So, Nicole,
10:47our boss came in and told me. I just heard him tell Amy that, like, she wasn't the only
10:50one, but then I didn't hear it. No, that's good. All right. Oh, good. Good for you. Yeah,
10:53that's good. Good for you. We had to listen to it. It was great. Uh, Nicole, here's the deal. Like,
10:59uh, we need four callers. And, uh, I said, I joked at the end of it. I was like, well,
11:03if you're still listening and you want to play and, uh, nobody's listening, you know what,
11:07Nicole? Yes. You're going to John Legend. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you for listening.
11:19Yeah, please. Goodness gracious. John Legend, love in Las Vegas residency at Zappos Theater
11:25of Planet Hollywood. You're getting a pair of tickets. Thank you so much. It pays to listen,
11:30even though it's painful sometimes. It's VGS, Amy and Sean minus Steve. That was the highlight of
11:39my day. It really was the best thing that happened on the show today. It was so great. I love him.
11:44Oh God. But what do you have coming up next? He's like our uncle. He's our boss uncle. Yeah.
11:48So did you say, did you say, I gotta be honest, this is a really terrible story. Is that what you
11:55said? What's your quote? Well, uh, no, no, this story really sucks. So, so stupid. Oh my God.
12:01What were the text lines saying about Steve's story earlier? Um, uh, Tony said, I thought
12:07your boss's story was hilarious. No, there we go. That's good. All right. There we go. Tony's
12:11actually Steve. Jessica said, um, I swear I'm listening.
