New Show Launch & On-Air Return
SPEAKER_04Well, welcome to the show, the hottest happy hour in STL. We are coming to you from Louinfo.com, and of course, uh, we're on the dial at 590 a.m., the new KLIS. So they did kind of a re walk down memory lane of you know going out with the old and coming in with the new. And so we are now uh back on radio. We used to be at this station doing our Saturday morning show. Actually, it was the She said he said show back then for a while, yeah. Doing the In Your City uh podcast, and now we're taking it to the airwaves and then bringing it to you here from our brand new studios. You luckily you can't see all the chords and the crazy behind the scenes stuff. We just look cool against the wall right now. Well, you look cool.
SPEAKER_06I don't know.
SPEAKER_04I look like a some sort of wild, hazley uh abstract painting. I don't know what I was thinking. We're in this crazy shoe.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, definitely and it would have popped, but it popped before the show.
SPEAKER_07And isn't that typical for a guy to just you know which guy you're talking about?
SPEAKER_06Definitely not talking about this guy. We will go there. That's a whole nother show. Yeah, a whole nother day. That'll be our 12 o'clock show at midnight.
SPEAKER_04So a interstate show, it's gonna be you know, high-impact stories, conversations, celebrities. Um, it's gonna be the buzz around town and really some serious community talk. We're going to meet a lot of people throughout the St. Louis, but also throughout the United States, are we coming our way to talk conversations and have some fun with us? And as usual, we're bringing back the question of the day. So, of course, I did ask the question of the day um yesterday.
SPEAKER_06Are we gonna do the question of the day before we toast to the new show? I guess we should we're gonna toast first of all, we're gonna toast uh you in St. Louis, and then we're also gonna toast to us.
SPEAKER_03We're gonna toast looking at the TV, we're gonna toast to the news stations.
SPEAKER_06I know it's getting used to it. I'm looking to God right now. Yeah, thanks for this.
SPEAKER_04So, yeah, cheers. Cheers and cheers to you. You did not look at me. So Kelly says No, it's not my this isn't this is someone else's. It's I didn't come up with this answer.
SPEAKER_06All right, what did what did they say?
SPEAKER_04Listen, when you cheers that you must look into the eyes of the other person, otherwise it's seven years of bad sex.
SPEAKER_06You can say sex now. You can get mine with that.
SPEAKER_04I guess you don't. Does that mean then if best friends are looking at each other? It doesn't mean typically it doesn't mean necessarily what that person's a lot of people from now on looking away.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, but it's just general, right? Yeah, I guess you're the one who came up with it, so cheers.
SPEAKER_04Okay, that's that's why it popped because um it's warm. It's warm.
SPEAKER_06It's warm.
SPEAKER_04That's probably what you know.
SPEAKER_06Back speaking of champagne, we'll talk about this real quick. Uh I did a wedding. I used to have a DJ company, and I did a wedding, and we did uh they put the champagne all in the freezer at the beginning of the reception. When come time to do the pose, it was all frozen.
SPEAKER_04So how's the marriage? Did it last?
SPEAKER_06You know what? I don't know. That was the same that was the same wedding that I did that the bride sat on one side of the room with her family, the groom sat on the other side of the room with his family, they didn't do a dance together, they didn't do anything together. It was an arrangement. I don't know, but nobody was happy.
SPEAKER_03I'd like to know if they're stuck.
SPEAKER_06I couldn't wait for it to get over. I doubt that they are. They weren't really together when it started, so I doubt that they're good together now.
SPEAKER_04Have you done the bride or groom more than once?
SPEAKER_06Two.
SPEAKER_04You've literally done two people that married a second time.
SPEAKER_06So obviously, they didn't blame me for the wedding for the marriage.
SPEAKER_04Was it it? Was it your fault? No, all right. So we've got some great guests on the show today. Um, we are actually out in the um, do we have a green room? I think it's more of the area that you walk into when you come into the street.
SPEAKER_06It will be when Kelly gets done with it. It'll be the green room.
SPEAKER_04You know, there has not been a female touch in this station for quite quite some time. So it's like walking into a men's locker room.
SPEAKER_06I would just walk in here, and Dave would just look at me with that grin and shake his head, like I know who did that. Yeah. Kelly's going around putting renews at air freshener plugins everywhere.
SPEAKER_04Seriously, there actually is a locker out there, and not always. So I guess they're kind of getting the feel. But we're in a socks in it, though.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_04What is it looking at? You guys like there's too many of you in one spot. It starts as a boy and goes up. It just it just stinks. You guys just stink. Get too many of you together.
SPEAKER_06Some of us do bathe regularly. I don't know about the other ones. I can't vouch for everybody. I know.
SPEAKER_04We've got a great time. We're gonna be talking to work and leisure, which is a cool space I did not know about, and so I was excited to find out. But we have Raven, um, Weinrich, and Jordan Renard that we're gonna speak to just shortly here. Before we get going, though, we got some fun things you know that we wanna we want to talk about with you. And we yeah, you tap me.
SPEAKER_06You could probably you probably just ask well, I couldn't get your qu couldn't get your attention. Yeah. Um, apparently your mic's not working very well for some reason. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04So do I need to come in close? Because that's gonna really be odd. Yeah. Am I not? Because I usually talk pretty loud. So I know like breaking the mic up. So you're looking, so you're looking at so here's what we're gonna do.
SPEAKER_06Okay, we're gonna go to our question of the day, and then we're gonna come right back. But during the break, what I want you to do. Why are we breaking already? Because my mic's not so we can fix your mic. So we're gonna take a quick break so
Toasts, Superstitions & Wedding DJ Stories
SPEAKER_06that Kelly's mic can get fixed. But while we are, I want you to think about our question of the day. And Kelly, what was our question of the day?
SPEAKER_04So much to say. We can't go to break. Yeah, what's that one food that takes you back to your childhood? That one food that takes you back to your childhood. And we've got some great answers, and we've got our answers, so we will would you shining that around to me because my mic's already continuing, yeah. I can just talk really loud. That's okay.
SPEAKER_06You know what? That's gonna happen today. We are gonna see some of that, and that's okay. So we're gonna take a quick break and we'll come right back here. You're listening to the In Your City show on KLIS 590.
SPEAKER_04The Lou Information Stage.
SPEAKER_06There we go. Thank you.
SPEAKER_04One down, how many more to go, Matthew?
Technical Hiccups & Childhood Food Question
SPEAKER_04We're back. I think you can hear me. Gotta hear me.
SPEAKER_06I have always love those infomercials on on the TV when I go, okay, we're back.
SPEAKER_04And they just, where were you? I have so much to say. So of course, um, it is the first day. It's the Lou Information Station. So if you happen to be on the dial of 5 90 a.m., go ahead and get a crackle and pop and just pop on your phone, pop on your laptop, wherever you're at, and go to luinfo.com. There's literally a button, you just press it and it'll take you to the show live. There's a chat room there if you want to talk to us and be able to be involved with the show, answer our question of the day, which is what's that one food that takes you back to childhood? And talking about food, I have never been to a crawfish boil before. That was the first one. The Summerdis, friends of ours, Frank and Angie, invite us, and we haven't been able to go the last three years. And so we went this time, gorgeous day on Saturday. Wow, the weather was amazing.
SPEAKER_03And you go in,
Crawfish Boil Recap & Buffet Etiquette
SPEAKER_03they have these big boiling pots, and it's kind of like they made it.
SPEAKER_04I did try the crawfish. Um, the saw, everything was made to perfection. Then they made this cool table. Did you have um did that you show that? Well, I'm talking, I'm busy right now. I'm so busy. Like, what are you watching? I'm not watching what's going on. So they they they made this table. So instead of just this long table, they put those like great big holes in the center of the table that drop down into trash cans. Now I'm gonna admit, so I'm that person, I'm that person that I don't really care for I don't like buffets because everybody is just kind of on top of it and breathing on it and sort of touching it and doing all kinds of things. So I get really grossed out. And that was way before COVID. So I know everybody's grossed out now. If you just cough, you feel like you have to tell someone it's okay. I'm just have a tickle. Not going to kill you. But they but after, so I got my plate, you did the same thing. Oh, yeah, walked away. Walked away. Once I walked away, I was not able to go back because there are some people.
SPEAKER_06I know they take everybody sits there and just eats over the table.
SPEAKER_04And it was just the men that sat and ate over the table. You guys are vicious. You're like, Why do you keep including me? Because you're a man. We are the guys, but you'll probably hear that a lot. He is we I walked away.
SPEAKER_06I was like, first guy was a guy next to me, and he was eating over it, and it was just coming out, and I was like, Okay, I'm moving down. So my food to my table.
SPEAKER_04You know what happens, right? And they just couldn't leave. I mean, it was just too, and they said that you're really supposed to just kind of eat and then throw your stuff into those uh the buckets buckets, but yeah, I was I I felt so much better taking it to my seat. So so anyway, again, that question of the day what's that one food that takes
Ding Dongs, Burger Chef & Family Dinners
SPEAKER_04you back to childhood? And some of the answers were so what would yours be, Gordon?
SPEAKER_06Well, I used to take so all these uh uh all the millennials and gen Z, Gen, whatever they are. Yeah, no, the ding dongs all come in cellophane now, right? That was the I don't even want it anymore. Ding dongs used to come in foil. Each ding dong was separately wrapped in foil. And you put them in the freezer and let them get I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be toxic now, all those big dongs we ate, but we put them in the freezer and then we'd pull them out and eat those things. They were the best. A frozen ding dong in the summer, and then uh hostess ding dong, and um then burger chef. Remember Burger Chef?
SPEAKER_04No, I mean McDonald's.
SPEAKER_06It was Burger Chef and Jeff. Okay, was the the Burger Chef and Jeff? I don't remember Jeff. Well, he was the little little guy that hung out with them, kind of like my ex. Right, but the burgers all came in these little cellophane, you know, uh packages, and you could see the burger and it would get all steamed up, and it was like, it was great. I can't believe that they're no longer in business.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it's probably because of Jeff.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, Jeff's fine.
SPEAKER_04But I love my mom would never keep snacks in the house. So if she bought ding dongs for a special trip or we went camping or you know, out on the water, I literally almost ate a whole box, and then I spent the whole camping trip throwing up. So I really urge you not to eat more than one or two, you know, if you're gonna indulge in it. But anyway, some of the stuff, meatloaf. Remember, remember when you're young, it was Monday meatloaf, Tuesday tacos, or whatever. Maybe that's where that came from. What we named our day of the week the parents only knew what what they were cooking. And did your mom cook with like Crisco and all that?
SPEAKER_06All the time. Lard, Crisco, just put big old honks of it in the frying pan. Wow. Now we do have uh uh mostly superheroes. Childhood favorite food for me would be homemade pizza, making in with my mom. It was a delish.
SPEAKER_04Now homemade, I was just gonna say that like chef boyard. That smell, that sauce was one of its own.
SPEAKER_06It was a square pan, too. Jiffy Pop, we tried that with the brand kids. Remember that? Yeah, absolutely. That was awesome.
SPEAKER_04We it was, but I don't think it was as good as what we once remembered. No, kind of changes or whatever. It's caught on fire. How about spam? Mary Dennis.
SPEAKER_06Never. That is not a childhood favorite.
SPEAKER_04That's just my mom bought um, let's see, it's not spam, it's not baloney, which baloney was big. What's the other brown schweiger? Oh remember that and it's like she goes, I'm not eating that. Smell of it was just like my mom always.
SPEAKER_06Oh, it's a sauerkraut and some brown schweiger. It's like a lot of parents made liver.
SPEAKER_04That smell never went away. My mom made me eat.
SPEAKER_06Let me rephrase that. My mom never made me do anything. She was the the sweetest woman, and still is still is. But my dad, you're gonna eat that. You're gonna try it. You gotta you gotta try it once, you know.
SPEAKER_04That's why we were all fat because our parents said you'll not eat up from the table.
SPEAKER_06Eggplant. And it was horrible. And I said, I'm gonna throw up if I eat that. And sure enough, I took one bite and I threw up.
SPEAKER_04My dad looks at it.
SPEAKER_06And my mom looks at my dad and goes, He told you he's gonna throw it up.
SPEAKER_04Cold sloth. You just even say the word sort of kind of do that.
SPEAKER_06What are you saying? I'm fat. I don't know where to look. I'm looking for support here. Did did anybody hear me say that shit? Absolutely nothing. This isn't where men and women I go, you said that I did not say that we're married.
SPEAKER_04I did not say that. Kinda. I'm pretty sure I heard it.
SPEAKER_06I got witnesses.
SPEAKER_04I'm pretty sure. I want to say our chairs. How cool are chairs? Yeah. Swivel. So the white hair is my crack. So if I can go into the white hair, it's located in St. Peter's and go shopping. Gordon will tell me if I get really like crabby or whatever, that I need therapy. He doesn't need like a counselor, like to go sit down and talk to somebody. He actually means like I need to go shopping at the white hair. And then I can just feel better. It's a very expensive therapy, though, to have. I don't really highly suggest.
SPEAKER_06In fact, most of our houses, 80% of our house is from the white hair.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it pretty much is. I don't think there's a room that doesn't have something from it, but our two of our people likely, you know, yeah. We're a little overboard on. I just want to say that. So, so yeah, so if you've got a childhood favorite food or something that takes you back, let us know. You can uh put it right up there on the chat. We can take a look at it, see what you have to offer. We've got a poll question coming up. We'd like to know um, you know, about that as well. We've got um some little sizzle and style here today. That's our Mondays, and hopefully we'll have time to get around to that. But actually, we're gonna take a break so that we can get our very first guest on the new In Your City show here at the Lou Info, Lou Information Station.
Studio Setup, Scent Wars & Guest Tease
SPEAKER_04But Louinfo.com, of course, is where you want to go, which makes it so simple to watch it anywhere. And you know, as we move along, everything will get a little bit smoother and running and and going. So uh we'll uh we'll take it to a break and then we'll be right back with more of In Your City show. I'm Kelly Lamb, Gordon Montgomery, and uh we'll be back for more fun. Cheers. Holy ovens, the bad thing.
Mic Fix, Streaming Info & Live Chat

SPEAKER_05This is so much fun.
SPEAKER_02I'm having a blast. We haven't even done anything yet.

SPEAKER_06That's really important to say too, because if you're listening on air and you're we're talking about things that you can't see. No, actually, it's really it's really good. It's been really good. But if there's things that you're here talking about, but you have no visual, you can go back and see other visuals. Yeah, because visuals makes it so much fun.

Introducing Work & Leisure Guests
SPEAKER_04Work and leisure, cool venue. I I just of course heard about you getting uh to be on the show, and I'm looking at it. And then I find out that Liz Schuster is part of the uh food ensemble, and we are madly in love with her. We've had so much fun going to her. One of our first dates was a Tenacious Eats. Uh, it was elf. Oh yeah. It hooked them line and sinker, line. Have you say that? You know, with that. Yeah. So welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having us on. Yeah, it's Richard. We have Ryan Rich. Did I say that right? Ryan Rick. Rich sounds really good. I just go by Rich. You're Rich. Yeah. But it's Fine. Rine Rick and Jordan Renard.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_04Are you Mary? Are you related to Mary Ellen Renard? And it's a very good family.
SPEAKER_02So probably it could be a distant cousin of uh mine. I've bumped into I'm not from St. Louis, but as I've moved up here, there'll be other people like, wait a minute, we have the same last name we start talking, and it seems like it's somewhat on the line where it's like my dad's cousin's cousin's kid or something like that. Yeah, yeah, so it's probably cousins, you know, three or four times down the line.
SPEAKER_04Well, welcome. We're so glad to have you and and finding out about your um your uh your location. And I've got all my I mean, I I was equipped and ready. Gordon, you've got here we go. Easy question. So go ahead, Gordon.
SPEAKER_06The name is unique. Yeah, so what's the story behind the
Midtown STL Revival & Arts District
SPEAKER_06name?
SPEAKER_02So the story behind the name is we initially opened up in 2018 and we were a co-working space by day with a coffee shop, and then we were hosting events at night. So you we wanted to create a space where you're able to kind of work during the day and then fade into leisure as the day went on with cocktails and different small plates. Well, COVID happened, kind of had to switch it up a little bit with our business model. So now we use it for larger daytime meetings and then private events uh during the evening hours as well. Yeah. So we do some different pop-ups and stuff throughout the year, but that's where the name was was work and leisure because we work during the day and leisure at night.
SPEAKER_04Sure. So you're located, of course, in the heart of midtown. Uh you're just blocks from the Fox Theater, is that correct? Not too far, yeah. Not too far from it. So being that close and such a vibrant area, how does that influence your events and your clientele actually?
SPEAKER_01It definitely makes our demographic not like there is no demographic that exists. So we have everyone from like children to older, every background, every religion. There's nothing about work and leisure that is like this is what this is. But it's it's great because since we have so much diversity, we get a lot of art and culture that comes through. So all of our private events are charitable and art focused and live entertainment, and it's all it's just like it's like you see the community come together with every single event.
SPEAKER_04I feel like a tourist right here. I mean, we've lived here forever, and we live out um in uh a new town. Yeah, but when we go into the city for anything. And we're just there recently for a wedding and had never been to that jazz club that's right there by the Fox. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Tourist.
SPEAKER_02Bistros at the jazz? Jazz at the bistroom makes you. What a cool thing.
SPEAKER_04I didn't feel like I was a native to St. Louis also. I felt like it was a whole different art district. Wasn't it? It was fun. I said we've got to start acting like a tourist in our own city and finding out new things and new culture. And so that it's really cool. You're the part of so much fun being there.
SPEAKER_01Love to hear that. Midtown is really unique in that way because it's kind of up and coming. It disappeared for a while, and now, like now that's like the new art district. So people are really just finding out about it.
SPEAKER_04Come back. You say it disappeared for a little while.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah. The Kranzburg and stuff have really taken on a lot of work in that area with you know, bringing a lot more of uh music and things that had been there, just help revitalizing it, making it a little more of an arts district. And then obviously the city stadium going in didn't hurt at all, which is about seven blocks away from our establishment. So it's starting to get some different eyes in the area that hadn't been there for a while. So I think it's a mix of a few different things over time that the build, you know.
SPEAKER_04Actually, that's where the wedding that we went to was the Kransberg, that building. Oh yeah. First time I'd been in there. I mean, we were just completely impressed by it all. Yeah, and then the art, you know, they're the art that's like being painted on the side of the buildings of that just adds such an incredible vibe, yeah, you know, to the city. So very, very cool to be in the midst of that. So it's
Designing A Playful Venue Experience
SPEAKER_04not a typical, to me, workspace or event space. You have bocce ball, shuffleboard ball, uh, shuffleboard, three bars that definitely set you apart. Well tell us a little bit about that and how it does set you apart from other common workspace.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so you wanted to do something a little bit different, right? So we had this old building that we took possession of back in 2018. It was a completely blank space at the time. Uh actually it's an old optimology repair company, but once they took all that old equipment out, we were able to kind of have this blank slate, right? We wanted some bare walls, high ceilings, and be able to have a blank canvas to start from. So with that in mind, we wanted to be able to access different ways to be able to bring people in and to highlight different areas of the space. So some of it's a little more loungy, it kind of feels like almost like a living room, and the other areas are a little bit more industrial, which kind of plays into some of like the shuffleboard areas and things like that. So we wanted to be able to have people be in the space and be able to walk 100 feet into a different space and feel or outside of the room, excuse me, and feel like they're in a completely different space, even though it's the same thing. So we just want to do something kind of a little bit different, but give people a reason to go, oh, look at that over there. Did you notice that little detail?
SPEAKER_04Right. So unique. So much. I'm looking at the cocktail they just put on my I'm definitely this is our happy hour right now, you know. So we got a little champagne going at the pork box a little too soon.
SPEAKER_06It's called work and leisure, and you got all this fun stuff. It's a little bit more leisure than work.
SPEAKER_01The leisure room at work and leisure. So that is helping a little bit kind of take people away from is this just co-working?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, it is a lot more lean towards leisure than the work side of it. Our work is your leisure.
SPEAKER_06I think I'll have a drink. Maybe uh that's how we ended up at the jazz bar.
SPEAKER_04We set up great Hawaiian that we're having way too much fun. Let's try something new.
Adult Summer Camp & Pop-Up Themes
SPEAKER_04So you host some events. Um, obviously, there. You've been talking about that. Um, what type of events are you doing there? And um uh what's the wildest event you might have had there?
SPEAKER_05I don't know if we can talk about the wildest.
SPEAKER_01Just don't cut. Yeah. Uh so we do a little bit of everything. Again, no demographic. Like um, we hold everything from a mitzvah to a daytime meeting. Um, we're really kind of leaning into um adults uh themed events, not well, not that type of adult, 21 and above. 21 and above things that we loved as kids. We recently did an adult summer uh selling bee for our second year to raise money for this year for the boys and girls club. Um, and this year it will be our second year of adult summer camp. So it's hot outside. We have the air conditioners blowing, but we deck out the whole inside of the building to look like a mountainscape. It's kind of the little sister of our uh winter pop-up avalanche. And um, we decorate the space, our lofts we change into a bunkhouse with old Playboys under the bunk. And yeah, yeah. Um we put coolers throughout the space. So when people get a little nosy, like, what do they got in here? There's a smear and off ice, your ice. So it's a lot of really fun stuff like that. And then each night has a theme that um is camp themed, but we have scout night, we have two scout nights, the second scout night. We actually have Liz's son, Benny, um, coming out with James Enstall from Geek to Me Radio. And they are gonna do Tales from the Trails because Benny hiked the Appalachian Trail, the whole thing. Oh wow, and he has some incredible stories. And we're gonna play some games with that, um, where people can come up and try and pack their bag for hiking. And Benny's gonna come through and say, Nope, you don't need this. Nope, wins wins that whole backpack.
SPEAKER_04You need to like turn down the lights and have Jason come through and start playing Friday the 13th because you're adults.
SPEAKER_01Um, a couple couple nights, chef Liz will have takeovers and she'll be doing the full Tenacious Eats. The first one is Friday the 13th on Friday the 13th. Oh my god, and it's also on Tenace's Tenacious Eats' 13th birthday. Um teenager. Um, and then June 20th, we're doing Troop Beverly Hills, and that's gonna be really fun because that'll always show on the movie and having food that goes with the movie, but we have hairstylists. Um sincerely, the craft will be out doing tarot readings. I have a really great friend, uh Shayna, who will be coming out doing Botox, and we'll have um just a few little other things that are pampering some cookie girls. We could get the woman there, have the Botox, yeah, walking in to get rid of our wrinkles.
SPEAKER_04As long as no one makes out, no one should die at the front of the third.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, I think everybody will survive this five.
SPEAKER_05Someone always gets stabbed at that point. That's true. Gordon's like, where'd my question go?
SPEAKER_06No, no. So I mean, okay, so let's say me and Kelly, we said, well, we wanna have an event there. So what's the process? How do we go about contacting? How do we go about contact?
SPEAKER_01We do have events. Yeah, you just uh you would make an inquiry on our website, workandleasure.com, and it goes straight to us. We'll see it within probably 10 minutes because we're excessive that way. We'll reach out and then we'll just get some details and put together a custom quote for you guys. That'd be great.
SPEAKER_04Now I see um with you're gonna do the tenacious eats, but is there food there all the time then or cocktails? Because um you had a menu and nibble nibble.
SPEAKER_02I don't know. Yeah, so for the private events, we have teamed up with Chef Liz Schuster, and she's been doing all of our culinary um stuff through this year, and hopefully longer than
Booking Events & Partnering With Chef Liz
SPEAKER_02that. And uh yeah, we're um we she helps to come in, does all the food and things like that. And so we're not a typical like bar right now where we have regular hours trying to facilitate something like that to make that happen. We do miss being open to the public like we used to be pre-COVID. Um, but right now it is just for the private events and scheduling, uh, you know, the private events and larger daytime meetings and things for right now. But then we host our own things like the adult summer camp all through July, uh through June, or Avalanche, which is all through December, which is the winter version of that thing. So kind of a couple times a year we do some different uh hosts of our own bigger pop-ups, and there's it's a ticketed um event mostly for those, but we always give a portion back to a charity or some sort of cause.
SPEAKER_04Oh, that's all bigger than a charity work. It's funny how AC used to event something out or BC and AC before COVID and after COVID. No longer before drive. I'm going there on it. So let me ask you, what size events? You know, how many people, the smallest to the largest, can you have with the vents before uh we take it to break here?
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah. So we can do a wide range of different um sizes. We max is about 200 people. Okay, and that's more cocktail kind of standing around, but we'll do things for 10 people. Sometimes it is really small. They need an area for uh that they want to get together and have some games and have some fun, and you're celebrating a uh a reason. So you know we're pretty flexible, so it's a pretty wide range for hopes.
SPEAKER_04Well, do you have a few minutes? We'll we'll take a break, we'll come back. Um, want to ask you the question of the day. We've got a poll question that we're going to be uh popping up uh on the screen too that maybe you might be able to buzz in on. Um, would you rather watch a movie or would you rather binge a show? So we'd like to ask you that question. And we've got a little style coming up, so maybe you guys can give your take on it too. Do you have a few minutes to stick around?
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. Yeah, I would love to.
SPEAKER_04All right. So work at leisure is in the room with us right now. We've got Jordan and Raven sitting there having some fun. We'll take it to a break and then we'll be back with more of In Your City show for our very first time here at the Lou Information Station at LouInfo.com.
SPEAKER_07We'll be right back.
SPEAKER_06And just kill it.
SPEAKER_02I started to cross my legs, like, oh nope, don't do that.
SPEAKER_06I do that all the time. All the time. Um, you did it.
SPEAKER_04Right.
SPEAKER_02I don't I didn't know if it was supposed to or not.
unknownYes.
SPEAKER_04You said you were so like that.
SPEAKER_02There's one behind the laptop, isn't it?
Poll: Movie Night Or Binge-Watch
SPEAKER_04I just want to make sure because we don't have to go to the
Sponsor Spotlight: Lacefield Music
SPEAKER_04back. We are in your city show with Jelly Lamb and Gordon Montgomery.
SPEAKER_06Some hot vibes coming your way, some more hot vibes.
SPEAKER_04We do.
SPEAKER_06How'd you like your little introduction on my little video? So I can start to have fun with it too.
SPEAKER_04Jordan and Raven have stayed back with us to have some more fun in our hot vibes uh segment here. And you're gonna also go tell them about Lacefield music. You guys play piano?
SPEAKER_06Unfortunately, no musical talented on my and I'll tell you what, it's very easy to learn how to play piano. So oh, I was gonna say, what you mean because of them? Lacesfield piano, Lacespiel music. Kelly keeps on Lacel piano there. They are now let me tell you something. Me and Kelly took piano lessons and Kelly learned how to learn how to play piano with a couple lessons. And their lessons are super easy. There's uh the great thing about it too is if you buy a piano at Lacfield Music, guess what? You got one lessons for life.
SPEAKER_08Oh, nice.
SPEAKER_06Lessons for life. So if you've ever filled ever if you've ever dreamed of filling your home with the timeless beauty of music, let me introduce you to Lacespill Music. I love Lacespill music, it's right down there in the heart of Chesterfield. It's not just the piano store, but it's a musical experience. They have grand pianos, they have digital pianos. In fact, every so often they will do a big sale. I think it's their Muni sale that they do, and they sell all the used pianos that the Muni has used throughout the season, which is kind of cool.
SPEAKER_04Because the Mini, of course, gets them through them so that they sell them. Actually, Dwayne, who uh owns uh Leacefield Music. One of the owners, yes. One of the owners, he is the one. If you've been to a Cardinal game and you hear the organ play, that is him. Oh no, that'd be pretty neat to be the person that you know is up there playing the organ.
SPEAKER_06They have so yeah, like the lessons, like we talked about. They also have rentals, restorations, and expert tuning services. Have you ever listened to that? We we had a piano all our lives at my house. And watching some watching a guy tune a piano, you can you can tune a piano, but you can't tune a fish. Anyway, have you tried to tune a fish?
SPEAKER_04Where'd that come from? Aren't there some of the stupidest sayings I've got?
SPEAKER_06Tune a fish. Anyway, watching a guy tune piano is incredible because you got like three strings per note that you gotta guitars are pretty easy, but a piano is musically inclined. There used to be a guy that came to our house and he was a blind guy and he tuned pianos, but of course, the terror. Yeah, okay, tune up pianos.com and you can swing by their beautiful showrooms in Chesterfield and check out all the pianos that they have and talk to them about getting lessons. And if you say, Well, you know what, how much your lessons? Well, why don't I just buy a piano and then I'll get lessons for free? We'll check them out.
SPEAKER_04So Julie Lolly, happy first show uh to the incredible Kelly and Gordon. Hi, Julie. Oh, she's answering her question. So she said um that for the question of the day that brings her back to you know being a kid, bologna, bologna, baloney and cheese. I will read. I like buying it. I will read what you put down in my proper. All right, bologna and cheese sandwiches for lunch and grape Kool-Aid in my straw. Oh my gosh, strawberry cake, uh, short cake thermos. Is that the lunch box in Google? I had Scooby-Doo one year, and oh my gosh, I just wanted I just want to keep my lunchbox with me all the time. That was so much fun. And my computer. Go ahead. Casey said something too. My computer just went bye-bye. I gotta get my plug.
SPEAKER_06Oh, tuning in, can't wait to watch.
SPEAKER_04No, she wrote something else.
SPEAKER_06Uh oh, it says our kids watch the movie. Oh, well, she's talking about our movie thing. Oh, yeah. We'll get to that in just a minute. You said great Kool-Aid, and we're talking about things that remind you, you guys are probably too young. But Tom Furhop's mom, Tom, if you're listening, you'll remember this. We talked about it the other day. His mom would always make Kool-Aid for all the kids, but what she served it in was those metal glasses. They were metal. You know, you're when you're young, you're teaching. I don't know about metal cups. And you touch a metal cup and just what'd you do? It was such a great memory, you know. And they were all different colors, purple and red and green, and it's yeah, that's a childhood.
SPEAKER_04All the things that we had at our generation are like dangerous now.
SPEAKER_01My oldest graduated college, so I might be a little older than you think. Were you a 12-year-old at pregnancy?
SPEAKER_05I'm actually turning 29 and pregnant. You are so young, there's no way. Yeah, we're a little older than we look.
SPEAKER_04Wow, I definitely want your moisturizer. Whichever you're eating, anything, I'll take it. Because you look like you could be my child.
unknownThank you.
SPEAKER_01So I know my friend Shayna who does my battery.
SPEAKER_04Get that little plug
Audience Memories & Generational TV Habits
SPEAKER_04in there. All right. So our question, which we just had a couple answers. Of course, I can't read anything until the break, and I can find my plug to plug my computer in. But um, what was the food that brings back childhood memory for you all?
SPEAKER_02Um, the one for me, the first thing that popped in my head was my mom's chili. She's got a certain chili that she makes, and for some reason when you were little. We're little all the time through the fall and the winter. And it's just, I don't know, every time I eat chili, it kind of takes me back to that childhood thing.
SPEAKER_04That is like that's the only time of the year that I need chilies on Halloween. So I guess that'll be my kid's like maybe memory of being a kid as well.
SPEAKER_05That's cool. And what is yours?
SPEAKER_01Oh my gosh, all the Italians out there are about to roll over their graves. Um, so spaghetti on a piece of white bread with butter, fold it in half.
SPEAKER_04That's a wedding.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, spaghetti.
SPEAKER_05Spaghetti white bread at a wedding. Yeah, put it on the bread, you fold it in half. Spaghetti. Literally that.
SPEAKER_04I'm disappointed now because now when you go to a wedding, it's you know, I don't even recognize the food, but I eat it anyway. But the olden days at the wedding, it was mustard chili, ham and cheese, white bread, you have to pick your slice of cheese to slap on there and then mustard and mayonnaise in a bowl.
SPEAKER_08Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, good old days, right?
SPEAKER_08Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_04So we've got our poll question, which I can't read. So um, basically, because our um talking about if people would rather binge watch or um watch a movie, it's so close. I told Gordon the percentage, I'm like, wow, 54% prefer bench watching. He goes, Okay, that's not really much higher than you know, yeah, it's a little over 50%, which I actually thought binge watching would be off the chart over watching a movie. We bench watch all the time, but we like it's like certain nights, it's almost like the special night we're gonna watch a movie. Yeah, you have to really focus. We literally watch Game of Thrones. Now there's nine seasons, right? Yeah, in 30 days. There were several nights that it was four o'clock in the morning and we're still watching saying I really totally got it.
SPEAKER_01Tomorrow, our dog's name is Khaleesi.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so you're really bad, aren't you?
SPEAKER_01But we got her right before the last season, so it probably would have changed a little bit. I wonder how many kids are named Khaleesi right now. I think it's the biggest girl's name of the year. Really?
SPEAKER_02I heard on the radio of um the last week or something, they're talking about some of the newer names, and Khaleesi was one of the top like four or five like bigger names of the year.
SPEAKER_04No, if I could see the board up and talk to him, or I'd have to type it in real fast, which would take much longer. He could probably hear me. I'd be asking him to find the stats on how many people names there's probably stats on it now because it's been up been a little bit. They tried to bring it back, but I guess they did House of Dragons maybe.
SPEAKER_05And we watched it, but I don't think that's come back either again, has it? Um, I think it's coming out pretty soon. I saw a trailer for it recently. Do you think that's like the number one um series ever?
SPEAKER_04Is maybe um Game of Thrones?
SPEAKER_02I mean, that would it's been I've never heard of another show having such a range like that.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah, or whatever to see at the ending of the show, or even watching it throughout the week. Shameless. We were addicted to that today. We're talking about two different shows.
SPEAKER_06But we're late covers, so we're always stuff like maybe two or three years later.
SPEAKER_04I do that too. Yeah, I thought it was what happens when you get old.
SPEAKER_06So I do have a question for you guys because you guys are younger. And so we come from there. I mean, I grew up in the 60s. With dinosaurs. So here's my question for you about benchwashing and movies. Do you feel like today, movie studios are just having a hard time coming up and creating anything that's new because they keep repeating stuff like Mission Impossible 17, or even going back to something like Starsky and Hodge and all the shows that we grew up with, they're trying to recreate into today.
SPEAKER_01Well, I think those movies are easy to create like that nostalgic bubble. Like, I want to go relive that with my kids. Yeah, and with movies or with shows, like every everybody has such a large budget now. Camera works better, the writing's better, the actors are higher budget. So you get more it depends on the show, like that's definitely gonna be very subjective.
SPEAKER_04But a lot of the movies, I think, they're throwing them out so fast with so many apps now that the movies are just being thrown out, and we watch them. We're like, I can't believe we've actually fast-forwarded the movies just so we could see the ending because the movie's so bad. But we needed to know the ending. Yeah, and trying to watch TV, see another generation. It was 25, 11, 30, 30. 35, 9, 11, channel 30. And you could turn the TV on, and it would be right in the middle of one of your favorite movies, and then you'd finish watching it. Yeah, now literally we have finished the popcorn, all the snacks are done, and we still have a funny thing to watch going through the apps trying to find it.
SPEAKER_02Oh, we we do, definitely. It's definitely a quality over quantity, it feels like right now of just this of stuff out there, right? Absolutely.
SPEAKER_04We we do cycle, we just started cycling it out, yes, and we need a second job for all the apps. Remember when we used to complain that oh my gosh, having cables like a whole 45 or 60 dollars or something, it's like so expensive, and now you're like almost at 300 by the time you have your you know cable outlet, and then you're buying all of your apps. It's kind of uh a little bit, it's a little out of hand right now. So we have to sell an extra ad just so that we can afford that to have cable, right? We gotta go. We're at the top of the hour. Is it is it one minute? It is fine. I don't want. We're gonna take a quick break. We should be. We'll be right back. Top of the hour is important. I'm not gonna say anything, just go.
SPEAKER_05Sorry, we're so entertaining. He isn't gone yet.
SPEAKER_04Goodbye, Grant. Or
Streaming Overload & Bundle Talk
SPEAKER_04not. They're the owners of work and leisure, having some fun, letting stick around and enjoying them so much we didn't let them leave. So we were talking about the poll question if you binge or watch, uh, tend to watch a movie more.
SPEAKER_05So what did you did you answer what you like more by any chance?
SPEAKER_01I'm definitely a binger. Like I said, like it's like everything is like watching a movie. Yeah, having mom bladder, I get a lot more breaks. Mom bladder. Yeah. Like that. If you're binging, you're probably drinking something. But yeah, it's like I like to have those breaks without having to see the funny face on pause.
SPEAKER_04Like, uh it's just you can't stop with binging
Bingeing Preferences & Current Shows
SPEAKER_04if it's really good. Then you just keep that it does it to you quickly. It's got that little next episode coming up. So why not?
SPEAKER_05Just go and fall asleep. I'll just start back over.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. And how about you?
SPEAKER_02I'm gonna I agree with her. I like binging as well because it's like you know, if you have 10 episodes and they're an hour long each, it's like a long movie, right? Because it's a 10-hour movie. So I do like that and be able to get through the storyline a little bit more and not have to be like, oh, I gotta wait for it, or whatever. So I do like appreciate the aspect of binging. Movies do have a good time. I like it in movies when it's raining outside. Raining outside, you get a nice rain day inside. Yeah, yeah. Something kind of fit the mood, but I get into movies a little bit more um in that way.
SPEAKER_04So I have to leave towards the I get so invested in Avenge watching, and then they go. I'm like, I'm not done with you yet. I need to know what's gonna happen next, and if you're gonna stay together, I'll meet babies.
SPEAKER_06That's my ow ow. It's so much fun to watch Kelly watch a movie. Sometimes I watch Kelly the one that I wrote in a movie. She gets so into it, she'll be like, I'm really up.
SPEAKER_04And in scary movies, she starts gonna be like, I love scary movies and I hate scary movies all at the same time. So um, Liz Schuster, she's on. She's going back to the mother of the dragons. Uh, she's the cutest mother of dragons ever. I guess that was our dog. Your dog.
SPEAKER_05She's talking about that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we call her our head of HR because she's at work with us all the time. So when someone comes in, she has to make sure they're happy. She makes sure the whole time they're happy.
SPEAKER_04They definitely do roll. What do you guys binge watching right now?
SPEAKER_02We just finished White Lotus. The uh just finished that one. That was really the second one.
SPEAKER_05Okay, second one. Um what's her name?
SPEAKER_02Oh, the third one.
SPEAKER_05Third one.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah. Sorry, yeah, they all get we can get them all kind of consecutively.
SPEAKER_04Very different shows, aren't they? We love it. Yes, we we love when we get one that we don't want to quit watching. It's hard to find those sometimes. We just finished, um, which is actually one of the top ones. Uh, actually, it's not. Wait a minute. I think that's what I was surprised about. No, no, friends uh friends and neighbors. Oh, yeah, Johnny and finished it last night, but it's not on the top trending bench.
SPEAKER_05I'm I'm really completely shocked because it is really good. I feel like we could probably talk too long about the ending on that.
SPEAKER_01We're really disappointed in those choices.
SPEAKER_06I am too. Yeah, because you could have had both. I know. So another thing has anything can't tell. Another thing that's really disappointing about series is you when we watch it and all of a sudden you realize they changed writers. Oh, yeah, you could tell.
SPEAKER_04Oh I like it. Everything changed. Yeah, I don't appreciate that. Or if they wait three years for it to come back, like Yellowstone was like, come on, oh my gosh. And then it was a time to stop. Yeah, I was kind of getting a little tired of that. She was just got a little you didn't get tired of her ever just because she could say anything. She's got a trailer park. I like a little too tough at the end. Come on, she's like whipping people's butts and stuff like that. But I guess for a guy it was okay. She came back. Sirens. So we just started watching sirens. Oh my gosh, yeah. Yeah, so we started that one. Jordan hasn't watched that one. That we just the blonde, I realized the little blonde. I'm like, how she's 12. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01So I was like, she's from House of Dragons, but she looks like she's 12. I had to look her up because I swore that had to be Matt Damon's child.
unknownDamon's child.
SPEAKER_01I was watching her face and I was like, I look like I feel like I'm looking at Matt Damon's gotta be his child, and they're not related at all.
SPEAKER_04Side by side, then on that one and see. Um, let's see. Oh, Julie says she can't wait for the bear to come back. So again, it's one of those things where you get all invested in a show, then they stop it, and then you gotta wait for a new season, you know, to come out. Or in the fact in the case of neighbors and friends, I'd almost rather start watching it now because we had to wait a week. Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh, it drives me crazy.
SPEAKER_06That is the key. If it's already played out, then you just go buzz through it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, someone with Harry. Um, they're English. Oh bad to the bone, Harry.
SPEAKER_06Uh Mobland. Oh, haven't we started that one?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we saw the advertising for it, but it's it is worth watching.
SPEAKER_06He has not James Cocoa Beans. What's the lady's the actress's name?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, in Yellowstone or 1880, 1893, 1828.
SPEAKER_05One of those years. 1928.
SPEAKER_06Uh the silver, the white hair buddy.
SPEAKER_02Uh I know you're talking about haven't seen that one advertising for it as well.
SPEAKER_06She's crazy. She's off the chain.
SPEAKER_02His wife in the movie, correct? Is that right? If I got a bright food trailer, okay.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it looks thorn in Landman. Did you watch that? No. Oh my gosh, you're so lucky.
SPEAKER_02We've got to add some things to our queue.
SPEAKER_04We're waiting for the next on right here. That's the full point of all the apps that we have to continue to keep buying because you have to have Paramount for this and uh Prime for I mean.
SPEAKER_01Let's start in a bundle now. I think some people are starting to catch up. I think Hulu, Disney, and Paramount might have a connection. The bundle. There's like three of them. The Disney though, we're out.
SPEAKER_04It has to see pre nudity, top language, sexual content, we're in.
SPEAKER_02Those are prerequisites for the represents. Oh yeah, yeah. That's a new one to see. You're like, oh wow.
SPEAKER_04Can't watch this. They're smoking smoking. Well, the bear is that is one of the top trending murder bot, I've not watched. Secrets with keep, I haven't watched. We watched one episode of the bear, so we have to get back with that. That one, Agatha, all along.
SPEAKER_02No, not familiar with that one.
SPEAKER_01Clizz loves the bear but can't watch it. Why? She says it's the most triggering thing she's ever because they're in the kitchen. Yeah, and there's just one scene in in particular where he keeps looking at the clock because he needs a cigarette. And she's like, I have I turn it off. I start sweating. So funny.
SPEAKER_02So we see printer going to oh yeah, sorry.
SPEAKER_04She's like, oh no. Department Q adults. That's a comedy. I would have thought, kind of like your adult summer camp. Only meaning, only murders in the building and the pit. Those are the top picks right now, which we've obviously missed most of those. So we'll have to.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_01We just watched the studio with Seth Rogan. Probably one of the best.
SPEAKER_02It's really cool. Have you seen that yet? It's on Apple TV as well.
SPEAKER_01The way it films. You passed the first episode. The first episode was kind of like us on Anna Roll or something.
SPEAKER_02It gets better.
SPEAKER_01It stays that way. It's it's all about that long shot. Everything in the in the show is about that long shot.
SPEAKER_05So we should try to give it another chance. Because it keeps throwing itself at us.
SPEAKER_04Every time it ends, all of a sudden it pops back on. Like, you must watch me.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, we'll do that.
SPEAKER_04Okay. All right. So before
Style Trends: Coastal Cowgirl & Menswear
SPEAKER_04we go to our next guest, which we're gonna uh take it to uh charity, a little uh philanthropic. Um we have Meredith Knopp, who's on the show from STL Food Bank, which they're celebrating 50 years. So that is dear to my heart because I just can't believe the amount of families and children, um, like one in seven that are you know literally on the, you know, they don't have enough food, you know, in the home. So so we're excited to get to talk to her. But a little summer trend. So do you have a favorite style, like a go-to? It's hard to keep up because it keeps changing, but I do like this one. So apparently, the hot summer style trend for women is the coastal cowgirl vibes. I believe it. Country's super hot right now. Yeah, kind of like boots or straw hat, white, but it's kind of uh, it's not the typical, like I grew up with horses, so jeans, Wrangler, uh cowboy buckle, you know, belt coming barrels. I had to, you know, you got the buckle. Very, very, very different. Whereas now it's everything goes, and you know, you can as long as you stick some cowboy boots, you can wear like a something pretty fancy, like going to a club, you can resort where you're gone country. Uh stuff here. Good job on that one. Yeah, and then they're bringing, of course, the uh turquoise. So we're gonna turquoise back. And then the guys, it's the bolt prints, the uh short uh throwback, short sleeve button down, the unstructured linen, high-waisted shorts.
SPEAKER_02Yes, oh high-waisted shorts.
SPEAKER_04Or has bought some shorter shorts, yeah, like his little it's like you with the leg showing there. Short shorts are coming back.
SPEAKER_02He's so we gotta get back into our squats, get our quads built up, sir. Yes, yes, chance.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, not fair.
SPEAKER_05So so you guys are hip on the new style then? We try, yeah. Again, we're hitting up there, but I'd say I tried.
SPEAKER_04Isn't it like what's the cutoff where we can you know can't wear certain things?
SPEAKER_01I don't think there is a cutoff. I think that whole stigma needs to be a little bit more. Sometimes if you've been in Walmart lately, sometimes it should be.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah. I took my guitar to my grandma's for the summer, and I thought for sure someone's gonna ask me for my autograph when I was like 11. I thought for sure just carrying my case and all dialed up and wearing my cowboy hat, somebody would think that I was a movie star. Nobody thought he has.
SPEAKER_02You're intimidated too much. You're like, oh my gosh, you know who that is? Well, don't bother them.
SPEAKER_04My whole life I've been thinking that nobody thought I was a movie star. It was strictly because they were intimidating.
SPEAKER_02Intimidated them with too much confidence. You had so much confidence walking through there, and they're like, Oh my gosh, you brought a guitar with her.
SPEAKER_04Like, and I don't want to be anybody checking it. I mean, I could have had like a machine gun in there, nobody even checked it. Let me tell you something too about just in case. This is some really good information to know when flying, and you know how you have to prop your uh little carry-on up because maybe you're the one that gets picked. Like that looks so dangerous that they want to open it and check it. This is what you should not say to the TSA. Oh my gosh, don't open it, it might explode. Oh, yeah, we were leaving as our honeymoon, wasn't it, when it happened? Yeah. I I did get to go. They did not arrest me, and he did have to check that bag after that. And it was where I'm sure I'm very curious about it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, but exploded.
SPEAKER_04Did you really need to give the notes on that? We did not think it was really at a bomb in it, but seriously, it was really Pat. I forgot that you're not supposed to take all of your big, you know, bedazzled items on there because they would uh not your other stuff, yeah. And they're so expensive, there was no way I was gonna throw them away. So poor Gordon, we were pretty close to having to get on the plane, had to go, and you know how far that is. Oh, check my check. That's what happens when you're married. You that person gets stuck doing the things that I really should have had to go check my bag in, right? I'm the one that that packed it incorrectly, but I just waited.
SPEAKER_02That's a good start to it, right? Like, I got a honey airport.
SPEAKER_05Literally, he thought that if he said me, I'd probably see the layer married because he was running the opposite direction.
SPEAKER_04So that might have been one of the two, but yeah, he was really it wasn't that he was being so polite. He knew that I would never come back, that I would be lost and end up on the wrong plane. So he just wanted to share I'd get there, right? Yeah, so some things that are happening, in case you're uh wanting to know. Um, today is June 2nd, right?
Beatles Trivia, Sports Bits & Laughs
SPEAKER_04Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart Cup Club band was released in the US on this day. Who was that? When would that be? And the information before you came up with that.
SPEAKER_02That'd be 60 something years ago, right? Was it 62?
SPEAKER_04The album came out? Good job. Once again, maybe not.
SPEAKER_02I'm not jumping it up, please. Somebody, there's people fact checking it right now.
SPEAKER_04I'm like, you're wrong.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so June 2nd, I know what year, but if you know what year the don't off the top of my head, I was looking at some of their albums a couple weeks ago because I love the Beatles, and that's why I was trying to think because they have the disography on Spotify, you know, has all their the dates.
SPEAKER_04That's why it's well did you just say disography?
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, like if you're on Spotify, you're on a certain uh certain artist. Well they had the same disography.
SPEAKER_06Well, it used to be there was a time that they said Paul was dead, and so if you look at all the albums, it's like so Abbey Road album, where they're walking the famous walking across the street on Abbey Road with the black, you know, the white stripes. Yeah, Paul doesn't have shoes on. Everybody else has shoes. He's both right, yeah. And they don't bury people with shoes on. So they that was one of the doesn't bury people with shoes on then, yeah. Sergeant Pepper's band was more like a funeral thing, the way it was, you know. And then actually, it's I can't remember the name of the uh what track it is. Um I think it's the number nine song, but at the end, you would remember what number the song was? It says uh at the very end, you can hear Paul or John say, Paul is dead. At the very end, very low. I don't remember what's it the white album or which album is it on? I think it's the white album.
SPEAKER_04I can't remember to take the trash out on Tuesdays, but he can remember that it was track number nine on an album that came out in the 60s, possibly, is what it was. There's our there's our recent two.
SPEAKER_01It's crazy. We we were saying something about um like the now CDs, like now that's what I call music. And we said, Well, I wonder what songs were on like now three or something. So Jordan thought about like, okay, so it came out in this year, so three would have been this year, and he named like 10 of the 12 tracks. And can you remember the trash either?
SPEAKER_08Yeah.
SPEAKER_02That's what the photo is strawberry fields.
SPEAKER_06Oh, so it doesn't say peppers, huh? Yeah, it's at the end of Stray. Oh, it says iBurry Paul.
SPEAKER_02I Buried Paul. Did it say what year that is?
SPEAKER_06I'm just um no.
SPEAKER_02Oh, sorry. But it said iBerry Paul. We're gonna listen to that in the car on the way home.
SPEAKER_06Real loud. Almost asked just like that.
SPEAKER_04And the other thing today is Babe Ruth, which was born on the same day as our grandson Kylin. He announced his retirement. How many hits did what did he go out as? Do you remember that useful information as well? That's for the sports show. That's I one time was invited to be on Andy Strickland's show. He thought I knew sports because I was teasing. So I'm like, yeah, I can come on there. I can talk sports with you. So I showed up with my little pink book, and it was a woman's guide to sports. So I just turned to the page real quick. I did get invited back to Andy's show after that again. I guess he realized I knew nothing. Absolutely nothing.
SPEAKER_06Actually, I love you talking about sports. It's the most entertaining thing.
SPEAKER_04Like, how many innings are at a football game? How many innings? And when can I go get a snack? That's all I wanted. A snack and something there. And then we were at the hockey game.
SPEAKER_05We were in the front row against the glass.
SPEAKER_04They they the guy hit that's the best. Well, the camera's also there, by the way.
SPEAKER_06Kelly, the prince's going up here. Is it completely embarrassing?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, in slow motion continuously, so we can keep watching going backwards.
SPEAKER_04But so if you don't ever sit where the play's happening, you need to watch how you hold yourself because you will be on camera with that crazy look on your face. So, well, there you go. All right, so on Wednesday, look, here's a sports. Here, I'll let you do it since you're really our sports. I don't know about it.
SPEAKER_06Get your voice going. And then on Thursday, the NBA finals tip off, hitting the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Indiana Pacers. That should be a good game because those those guys got great talent on both teams.
SPEAKER_04Going back to the hockey a second, though, I was really sad. I really wanted Barube to win. After the Blues were out? U Yeah, after the Blues. To be honest, I wanted the Blues to play against a uh Canadian team with Barube. And there was a part of me that was like either way, because I love Coach Barube and his wife Dominic. They they were one of our favorites. We got to know them a little bit more. We did a story on them in our magazine
Sponsor Spotlight: St. Louis Closet Co.
SPEAKER_04and incredibly down-to-earth, good people. And when he left by not his own account, I was really sad. So when I he was back in the playoffs, I'm like, and then of course when the blues are out, I was like, come on. I was really sad that they weren't they weren't part of it. But um, yeah, so I think there's one more thing that's going on.
SPEAKER_06French Open Women's Finals on Saturday, followed by the men's on Sunday, and in horse racing, you're gonna help me with these names. Sundays, Beaumont Stakes is expected to feature both Sovereignty, is that it? And the Kentucky one and the journalism won the fitness stakes.
SPEAKER_04We got that. So there we go. Yeah. All right. Well, we have had fun on this break here. We are gonna take it to a break so that we can bring Meredith Knopp into the show. Raven Raven Jordan, so fun to have you on and talk about work and leisure and let everybody know again if they want to be able to find out more about your venue, be a part of your events, or maybe be able to use it as a workspace.

STL Area Food Bank: Tornado Response
SPEAKER_04Had a really fun time. The first hour, the second uh part of the second hour. I'm Kelly Lamb. I'm Gordon Montgomery. And we are back with the last half hour of guests that we're gonna introduce you to. But first, I want to tell you about an amazing company, an amazing person that we know. She's quite the businesswoman, and that is the St. Louis Closet Company. Did you have any great, wonderful photos to show of Jennifer yet? Um, yes, we do. Are you gonna show those?
SPEAKER_06Um, actually, it when we are talking now, he's gonna play buddy of talking.
SPEAKER_04Grant's gonna go ahead and do it for us. That's awesome. We've got a button pusher that's gonna take care of it. Well, I am gonna be talking about Jennifer Williams right now. Really admire um her story. I'm excited. She's gonna be part of my anthology that I'm doing called It's About Time, a book that's gonna be coming out. She's one of the authors in it, telling her story. And, you know, you know that feeling like and you know how I am about how our home is and feeling calm. And I like when things are organized and in their place. I feel like I can work better. Um, I'm more efficient when everything isn't, you know, a mess. And that's exactly what St. Louis Claus and Company delivers. They are locally owned, which we love. They're operated right here in St. Louis since 1991. It's not a franchise. And she really is, you know, strong about letting anybody know that because not only is she not a franchise, she's women-owned. And that's something that I admire and I really love supporting women-owned businesses. Founded by Jennifer Williams. Um, she has built her own brand. She's been transforming homes for over 34 years.
SPEAKER_0634, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Wow, that's a long time. She's very good at it. They have a gorgeous showroom. Whether you're dreaming of the perfect walk-in closet, you need more functional pantry, maybe it's your laundry room, maybe you want to finally organize that garage or that mud room. It doesn't matter what room you want to come up with. Jennifer will have a way to organize it. There's not a one shop, a one-size-fits-all, I guess it should say.
SPEAKER_06And that's what's great about her showroom, is that she's got so many different displays. You can actually envision, I told her that the other day when I was in there. I said, this is so cool that you have all these different layouts because you can actually just go in and envision what you're or envision what I told her your closet should look like. Yes. And envision, you know, uh the laundry room. It's right. There's so much that they do. It's so cool.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. So then go in and transform it to what you need. Um, what makes them stand out? They're floor-based systems. They add strength and stability while giving you the seamless built-in look. And if you're someone who loves to see things close up, of course, head out to their showroom. It's absolutely lovely. And I love that she has my children's book, Oh Olive, and the plushie which are um sitting on one of the shelves in the children's closet area. Uh and then the beds that fold down. So if you have a room, maybe it's your office, but it's your spare bedroom as well. You can do one of those fold out beds that come down. They got a strong heart for community. Yes, she does. She really is big at supporting community. They do a huge toy drive around the Christmas time that you can drop off there. It's actually one of the largest in the region. So from chaos to calm, St. Louis Closet Company is your go to for creating functional, beautiful spaces in every corner of your home. Support small, support local, and uh get organized the St. Louis way by Vinca Williams. So we love her, but so glad she is one of our first. She's on. Board with us, and we will never forget the first um that have come on board with us for us to start back on radio again, but not just radio, a huge powerful source of streaming 24-7. You can just go to the luinfo.com, click the YouTube. You know, if you want to go to Apple, Spotify, also if you're audio, you can go to any of your favorite podcast sites and listen to us there 24-7. So right now, Meredith Knopp is in the house and so glad to see you again. You guys are doing great things out there with the um St. Louis Food Bank. Uh, I mean, to know that literally 400,000 in the St. Louis area out of the 900 and something thousand in Missouri that do not get enough food. And this is probably besides the terrible tornadoes and everything that's happened, that's even done more damage to the livelihoods of families. It's also the um schools are out. So children that are used to getting breakfast or, you know, um lunch snacks at school, they are getting them now. And so being able to provide for all of those families has to be a tremendous amount of work.
SPEAKER_00It really is. And thank you for having me. Uh, you know, and and that's just part of the story. You're right. I mean, we are working here at the St. Louis Area Food Bank to provide food and resources to families that don't, right? Many of us are fortunate that our toughest question tonight is what's for dinner?
How To Help: Food, Funds, Friends
SPEAKER_00Yeah. But there's hundreds of thousands of families asking, is there anything that we have to eat dinner tonight? It's a very, very different conversation. And then you throw the tornadoes that happened May 16th. And we have been working around the clock to really procure resources, food, water, hygiene supplies, just to get to these families that quite literally lost everything just over two weeks ago.
SPEAKER_04I mean, just in a split second, how your life can change. And it doesn't matter if you are um poor or rich. Tornadoes, they they don't um I what's the word? They don't discriminate. Thanks, Mary. I usually do. I didn't know where you were going with that. So Julie says Meredith is our city's biggest cheerleader, and thank you for all that you do. I get to work with her every September, 9-11, um, for their meal packaging event.
SPEAKER_00Yes, we'd love to help with that. I think you should. We do this every year. So I'm an Army veteran. Uh, and so we had the opportunity to bring, my pleasure, uh, this opportunity with 911day.org, David Payne. Uh, we come, he comes to St. Louis every year with his crew, and we are able to pack over 400,000 meals in one day. So we've locked this in again. This will be our fifth or sixth year doing this. We'll be at the Shavis Arena on 9-11 Day. It's a great way for the community to get involved and to give back and to turn a day of tragedy into a day of hope and triumph. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Give me a little insight into how that process works. So something like this happens. What's what happens?
SPEAKER_04So just you mean the tragedy of the tornado would happen? Just the tornado. Let's see.
SPEAKER_06Because you guys have a hard enough time trying to come up with food as it is, right? Right? So let's say all of a sudden, wow, bam, we get this thrown on as a tornado. So what's what's the first thing that happens? And kind of take us through that process of how that happens, how that how that all comes together, because that's pretty interesting to me.
SPEAKER_00Right. It is. And so obviously, you know, May 16th, the tornado hit. It was a beautiful day that morning. If you remember, the sun was out, it was blue skies, and then everything started to turn. And it was rain and wind and hail. And next thing you know, an eight-mile stretch was just destroyed. Right. And so what we're doing first is we're reaching out to our partners. When I talk about partners, the St. Louis Area Food Bank is fortunate to serve and support almost 600 food pantries and soup kitchens across the by-state region. So that's our first thing is we're reaching out. How are you? Are you impacted? What are your immediate needs? Is everybody safe? Right. On all of those things, that first responder mentality. And then we really go into the activation, which is how do we really get our resources and get those focused on the people who need them most? And so immediately it's water, it's cleaning supplies, it's tarps, it's food, you know, but it's not food that you can go put in an oven because your oven was just obliterated by a tornado, right? So we talk about pop tops, we talk about easy-to-make meals, things that don't require a lot, especially when so many people were without power for days and hours. And Amoren has done an amazing job restoring power. But when you lose your home, then it's working with our partners at the Red Cross to get them shelters and to get them out of homes that really are not safe. Uh, and so we've been doing that for two weeks. We've been getting food and water and emergency supplies out to our community. Right now, we're preparing for that next phase, which is getting sustainable resources to localized locations where people can come and get food boxes, they can get water, they can get hygiene kits, they can get cleaning supplies. And all of that is
School Markets & Food On The Move
SPEAKER_00because of the generosity of our community. We're working with farmers and growers, we're working with great companies and churches who are all stepping up. On Saturday, we just did a huge donation drive out at Shamanade with Cam OV and the Jason Tatum Foundation. And we were hoping that people would show up. We're thinking, mey, if we can get 15 to 20 gay lords, these are really big boxes for those who don't know what it is, you know, full of food, that would be a great way just to give it an extra infusion and show the community that we're there. They're not alone. We actually were able to fill 75 gay lords. So each truck carries 12, do the math, over 52,000 pounds. We started and we hoped people would show up and the lines, the cars, they kept coming. We were all brought to tears.
SPEAKER_04I was just gonna say cars just kept coming.
SPEAKER_00Goosebumps, I'm feeling right, and we had adults and kids volunteering. My daughter was out there, she's like, Mom, I've never seen anything like this. She's 12, getting ready to go to eighth grade, and she's been, you know, volunteering since to have a child uh volunteer to realize how important it is. It is, and it was a drive-thru event, and so everyone there, they were thanking us. They were thanking us for giving them an opportunity to give back because they weren't sure where in the city to take their donations. And so it was just this beautiful expression of the best of humanity and sends a message to those families that did lose everything to say, you're not in this alone. We are going to be here with you today, tomorrow, and for the months to come while we rebuild our great city. How can we continue to help?
SPEAKER_04Because it that's one day, and it helped, I'm sure, enormously. But how can we continue to keep helping the St. Louis food bank and the people that are in need now from the devastation, but as well as just your everyday families that are suffering?
SPEAKER_00You're right. That's one county. I said we serve 26 counties. There's 25 other counties that are counting on us to do our day jobs. The best way people can support us is to go to our website, stlfoodbank.org. There's a drop down there. I tell people the three things that we always need: we need food, we need funds, and we need friends, right? So if people are willing to do a food drive for us or want to participate in an upcoming food drive, they can go online and get all the resources, make it simple. If people are able to donate financially, they can go to stlfoodbank.org, click give funds. If they have time, especially in the summertime, they're off, they're out with our kids. They want to teach them those good habits about giving back. They can come and volunteer with us at the St. Louis area food bank at one of our mobile distributions out in community and make those connections and make a difference in the lives of others.
SPEAKER_04Oh, that's wonderful. Let me ask you, what is like the future plans when you when you look at um St. Louis Food Bank? What's in the future that you see to even try? I mean, like you said, the numbers are so big. And then when you have devastation, are there any future plans that can help? I mean, I always used to say I wish all every school would have a garden because they could actually, you know, canned food that families could have in the summer and even use them in the lunches that they wanted. There's a lot of kids at school that, you know, that are they can't afford to even buy that morning breakfast or food. Is there any future plans of how to help your kids?
SPEAKER_00Yes. Actually, this July, the St. Louis Area Food Bank will commemorate 50 years of serving our community. And we have been innovating like crazy. You mentioned schools. We opened school markets a few years ago. So these are grocery stores in the schools to destigmatize the need to ask for help. And all the food in there, it's fresh produce, it's proteins, it's dairy. It is shelf stable. There's pet foods, there's cleaning supplies. It's at no cost to the students or their families because of our ability to raise money from the community. That's why those funds matter. And we're doing things like our food on the move. These are mobile grocery stores on wheels, you know, 40-foot tractor trailers that go into communities that have high poverty,
Personal Mission & Comfort Foods
SPEAKER_00high food insecurity, but transportation's a barrier, right? It's great to say you can come to this pantry or even come to the food bank in Bridgeton, but if you can't get there, we can't help you.
SPEAKER_04We don't have Uber Eats for the St. Louis food. Correct, correct. We are Uber. Got to get it to them.
SPEAKER_00And so Food on the Move is another free program. We're the only organization in the region that has the ability and the resources and the reach to do this. But we do it because we have great partnerships, right? We're talking to farmers and growers, we're talking to manufacturers, distributors, grocers, we're talking to the faith-based community, we're talking to people who are listening to your show, right? Who say, I want to roll up my sleeves and help. There's always ways. We tell people that hunger can affect anyone, but anyone can affect hunger, right? It's a job loss, it's a medical situation. All of these things, a tornado that causes someone to go from being food secure to now saying, Where do I go? The St. Louis Area Food Bank is our region's response to hunger at any stage.
SPEAKER_04Well, we're looking forward to we're actually, of course, featuring you in our July issue of our actu of our St. Charles, Chesterfield, and Clayton City Lifestyle magazines. And when you said the trailer, all of a sudden I went, Oh, I know it because it's one of the beautiful pictures actually that we have that will be in the article is is that of the the big um truck that you do take around. So we really did you have one of those pictures? Were you looking for it? All of a sudden I saw him go down into the computer. I'm like, I think he's trying to find that big truck. Well, we can see you doing it, maybe. That's a better view than me. So it's incredible. And those are all huge costs too, having you know the trucks and that that you are transporting, you know, the food. So um, do you take um is it monthly donations, or is it any time that people can can drop off? And is there certain types of foods that you're looking for? Are they canned things that don't spoil quickly?
SPEAKER_00Yes, yes. So the answer is yes. We take uh food donations, we take monetary donations anytime. Uh we really focus in on shelf stable foods for donations, right? Because if people are going to give us produce or dairy products, usually that has a shorter shelf life. So we would rather take the financial donations that we get and purchase food that has that longer extension. And so that way we're giving it to our neighbors and we're treating them with dignity and respect, right? Our food goes out to 26 counties. We have urban, we have rural, we have metropolitan, anywhere that's listening to your station and beyond, we go as far south as Carbondale. And people are like, wait a minute, the St. Louis area of food bank in Carbondale, Illinois, you got it. We're there.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. So on a personal note, um working for a nonprofit, you know, versus a profit business, that's a big choice in the world or in your life, I should say, um, to take on that position. It's it's a very different corporate world, I guess, to be in. Um, you know, with that sector and leading a nonprofit, what drives your passion for this mission?
SPEAKER_00Right. It's it goes back to my childhood. I'm actually from Detroit, Michigan. Uh, and so growing up, I would volunteer at soup kitchens. But I remember I was too young to serve food, so they let me call bingo. But I remember as a child saying, wait a minute, I don't understand. You know, I am fortunate to go home and I have a refrigerator and there's food in there. And so for my little brain at the age of five to try to understand that not everyone does. Fast forward after college, I actually served in the military for eight years. So I deployed all over the world. I was a platoon leader and company commander, right? And I saw real suffering. I saw what that looked like. And so it's really being a part of something that's bigger than yourself and knowing every day that what you do matters. Right. I talk to people, they're like, you know, I really want to make sure that I'm doing something. I'd love to do something so I know I'm making a difference. At the St. Louis Area Food Bank, we know that every day we are making a difference in the lives of others. And that's what drives us.
SPEAKER_04Thank you. Meredith Knopp. I want to ask you before we take a quick break, before we're wrapping up the happy hour, the first happy hour of the NYR City show is all right, talking food, right? So what is that food that takes you back to your childhood if you smell it, see it, eat it?
SPEAKER_00Oh my goodness. So there's probably two things. Uh, the first is oatmeal raisin cookies. Oh my gosh. Uh so my Nana, she just turned 100 last October. She's still with us, so we'll turn 101 this October, right? Um, she would make the most amazing oatmeal raisin cookies. So whenever I smell that, I think a Nana. Yeah. And the second is silly, but it's macaroni and cheese casserole. Uh, you know, my parents would make just elbow noodles with velvet and cheese, right? Diced tomatoes and some ground up hamburger. But two barbecue dish. It's easy, it's simple, it's you know, healthy. Right. Oh my gosh. So good. So good, so simple. I might make it tonight for dinner. And if my family's listening, guess what's for dinner? Well, we're coming over because I'm starving. Right.
SPEAKER_04Well, thank you so much. Meredith Knopp, she's with the St. Louis Food Bank, and it is your opportunity to be able to help to give back. Um, there's too many children, too many families that are going without. And right now, with it being uh after the terrible devastation we've had, they need your help even more. So we hope that you'll find time to give back, volunteering, or maybe be able to donate and be part of helping another child or another family. So thank you so much. We're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna come back and uh do some final fun before the end of our first show. And hopefully uh they'll want us to come back tomorrow. We'll see. We'll see. If you don't see us tomorrow, you know they didn't want us to come back. Merida, thank you so much. We'll be back with one last of In Your City show here at the Lou Information Station right here in Kirkwood.
