102: Six Flags

Six Flags as a kid is pure chaos. Six Flags as an adult is a different kind of chaos, and honestly, it might be better. I’m talking hands-up bravado, “I forgot my phone was in my pocket” panic, and the realization that some rides you loved at 12 now feel like a personal attack on your neck. I share what it’s like going back to Six Flags St. Louis for its final season, chasing the biggest coasters, and trying to enjoy the day without turning it into a whole production. 

We get into the stuff you only notice when you’re older: the park changing its identity, the weird comfort of familiar themes like Batman and Mr. Freeze, and the way nostalgia can hit you in the middle of a line. There’s also a surprisingly real thread about height checks and what it does to a kid when they’re brave enough but not tall enough. One moment breaks my heart, another turns into a tiny victory, and both stick with me more than any loop or drop. 

Of course, it wouldn’t be Discombobulated without face paint, public embarrassment, and a few “what is happening right now” detours, plus some honest talk about self-care, fiber, and finding balance between grinding too hard and partying too hard. If you like comedy storytelling, theme park nostalgia, and chaotic life updates, hit play and ride along.

Returning To Six Flags As Adults

SPEAKER_00 1:34

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Discombobulated. I am, of course, your host, Bobby Jacks, and thank you again for joining us. Thank you for uh being a part of this wild ride that we're all going on together, you know. Uh and speaking of wild rides, I just went to Six Flags, St. Louis, uh, for its final season, dude. I've been going there since I was a kid, but this is the first time I went as a full-blown adult who got his face painted. And I'll tell you this, it's way better being an adult going to Six Flags without kids. And not being a kid. Because when you're a kid, you have no idea what's going on. You eat a funnel cake, ride a ride, throw up everywhere. But when you're my age, you ride a ride, you almost throw up, you take a breather, ride the train, then go, this sucks, then get back on a wooden roller coaster. I let it shake your brain apart. Yeah, that's what we did. We went to um Six Flags, St. Louis. That's last season, which I don't it like got bought out, so now it's gonna be called like the enchanted amusement park or whatever, which I don't enjoy. I don't know what that is. I don't know if all the rides are gonna be enchanted. I don't like that. I like that all the rides are Batman and the Joker and the Riddler and Mr. Freeze. I like that I that's stuff that I understand. If you make it enchanted, I just don't understand if I'm gonna I'm not literally like, oh, are you a Hufflepuff? I'm like, I really just I really just want to go upside down and have my legs dangling. I just want to have my legs dangling and uh I don't care if it's enchanted or not. But uh, dude, we had so much fucking fun. Because especially when you get there as an adult, you can do whatever you want. You don't have to start to make a plan, you don't have to be like, Dylan! You don't have to yell at a kid named Dylan to get the fuck back over here to be like, no, we're all no guys. Look at me. If you get lost, like we didn't have to do any of that, we're just adults and we have cell phones, which almost flew out of my fucking pocket on most of the rides, because you would forget, you'd be like, oh dude, and maybe I'll film this, and you forget that it's a roller coaster that will shake your you to your core and your iPhone to the floor, and then you'll have to call iPhone, like you lost it in Eureka. I'm like, yeah, in Eureka, Missouri, it's at the bottom of the of the boss, soon to be called the enchanted boss. So uh, but yeah, as soon as we got there, we rode all these rides that I remembered like from when I was a little kid. And I I don't dude, I don't even think I don't think I've been on a roller coaster in I wanna I want to say probably like I'm probably forgetting something, but probably close to ten years. It's been ten years since I've gotten on a roller coaster, and today I did it so many times that we left the park, went and got food, came back to the park. My friend was unfortunately, you know, that not like you know, I these things happen, but she was on her period, so we had to go to a store to get a thing because she's like, Well, I can't ride any more roller coasters until I take this. I'm like, and I can't unless I have a little bit of salsa. I want some chips and salsa, and then I'll get back on the roller coasters. But dude, we went we do we went on these rides, and I don't know why it wasn't absolutely jam-packed. And maybe it's because people are like scared of roller coasters now, but we were running up to the lines pretty much everywhere, and usually you have to wait in line, you know, you have to like hang out, just stand there, talk to your friends, you're like, Oh yeah, what do you guys want to do after this? I don't care, maybe we'll go ride Mr. Freeze again. Uh, and dude, getting on these roller coasters as an adult, one of the things I like to do is when I get on a roller coaster, I like to see how long I can keep my hands up, you know. But one thing I did on this ride is me and my friend, we were like, let's try to see if we can like keep our hands up and like you know that thing they do on a roller coaster where you try to sit there and like not make a face. We were like, let's keep our hands up and look at each other and try to like not make a face. So we did that and looked at each other, and for some reason, taking your eyes off of the track that you're going on makes it seem way steeper, and that part scared the shit out of me. And then whenever you like grab the thing and then you turn around, there's like little girls who are like eight years old with their hands still up, and you're like, Oh great, I'm a bigger fucking wimp than an eight-year-old girl. Hey, they're tough, dude. I we I remember I got we got back on from one of the rides, and this girl was there, and she was like, How was it? I was like, pretty scary. And she was like, What? And I was like, Oh, dude, I forgot about being a little kid. I was like, actually not scary at all, you're gonna have so much fun. Like, I looked at her dad and he was like, What the fuck? I'm like, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to I carry on. And then we were talking about this, and whenever I was a kid, uh whenever they first built the boss, there was this guy, and I don't remember what his name was, but maybe he's the boss. I don't know, he might be the boss, but he rode like the boss

Roller Coasters Without The Kid Stress

SPEAKER_00 6:26

like the most times in a row, which it was a new coaster, so you could have rode it like eight times and kind of been the champion, but he like sat there and kept riding it, which I thought, in my opinion, he kind of cheated. Like, I think you should have to ride the ride as is to have like a world championship, but he had like extra padding that he had brought and stuff. But I guess you know what I did too. I took my hoodie off and put it in between my stomach and the like the thing strapping you in. So but he would like ride the boss like all day, and then the next day, and he would do it for so long so that he has he's like the reigning champion of like how long you've ridden a roller coaster, which I think the only person who wins in that is him for in that moment. He's like, Oh, I'm getting these free rides, because I don't think you can get like chicks. I don't think you can like she's like, Oh my god, is that the guy who rode the boss three thousand times? He's like, Yeah, it's me. They're like, Oh my god, did you fuck the guy who rode the boss 3,000 times last night? He's like, Yeah, he rode me 3,000 times last night. You're like, holy shit, like that's not a cool is that a cool thing to be like, oh, I rode the boss this like this many times. I think, yeah, it's just gotta be for him. But I remember whenever we saw him, I think I got my picture with him when I was like a little kid too, which is weird because he's like it's like he's like a faux celebrity. He's like, Yeah, I did what you wish you could do all day. And we were like, Yeah, we can't, but we can get our picture with you and then fucking get out of here. And he even had a good seat too. I feel like I feel like he had like a good, like he got to sit in the back, which is like faster because it pulls you or whatever. God, so much fun. The only rides that we did not do is the water rides. Because when I was a kid, I God, you couldn't get me off a water ride, dude. There was this one that you know unfortunately like had killed a kid when we were like at least I think they've taken, I think, yeah, it was definitely taken down now. But it's like the it's that the what you stand up on a bridge and then the water hits you, it's called tidal wave, and that thing was like I couldn't wait to get that wet. And then you leave and your feet are pruny and stuff. But this time I was like, dude, I'm not doing any of that shit. If you want to ride it, I'll wait here. But I'm not gonna smell like that water that's been the same water they've been recycling. That it's just been the water since I was a kid, and I think when I was a kid, I might have pissed a little bit because I was scared, so I don't want to have my piss thrown at me on a tidal wave again. So that's the only thing I don't do now, is I'll get my face painted for fucking sure, but I'm not riding a water ride, and I actually think it's crazy that you can do that thing where you put like a quarter in and you can like shoot somebody on a water ride to like get them extra wet. It's like I think that's that's crazy. I think I'll be like, you'll be speaking to my lawyer. Uh but yeah, fortunately we did not have to do that. And dude, we had our faces painted, and the amount of other like kids that were like we didn't get our face painted. I'm like, Yeah, because you're not an adult, you're not an adult whose friend wanted to do it, and you're like, Yes, then you can paint me like a tiger. A green tiger, please. Like a tiger who's about to fucking throw up, like a tiger who just um ate the wrong thing on the Serengeti. Is that where tigers live? I sure don't know. But I'll tell you this, I don't know where green tigers live either. And you don't either, because we still haven't found them. And I don't know, have we found all the animals? Like every once in a while I'll see an ant that's pretty big, and I'm like, should I like take a picture of this and name it? Or you know, like I just I what did we find all the animals? Because they're always like, we're always finding new species, and I don't even know what that means. I don't know if that's real or if they're just like saying that to keep their jobs. Like, what do you do? They're like, Well, I actually find uh I actually find new animals. You find in some? Yeah, you yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. You think that's the same ant? No, that's it, that's that's an uncle. That's actually an uncle. That's how that's how different those are, and I have to keep my job, please. Um, but yeah, I'm trying to think what else, dude. It was just it was just fun to go to uh ride rides that I had ridden when I was a kid, and then just go whenever I want you not to be like, can we please go ride that again? And you have to talk to your cousin who fucking sucks. I actually want to go eat a fucking turkey leg. You're like, dude, I will I will make you a turkey, I will kill a turkey after this for you and get one of its legs and show you that it's not that big. I'm gonna do that for you. Who had a joke about that? Someone's like, You ever seen a turkey with a leg that big? And it

The Boss Champion And Ride Myths

SPEAKER_00 11:06

did make me happy because I saw someone eating it. I go, How is that? And they go, It's not that good. I go, thank you so much. Thank you for the honesty. Thank you for not letting me get one and being like, it's a dry ass turkey leg. But you want to go, my cousin would be like, let's go get a turkey, let's go make a music video. Like they would want to play in the arcade. I'm like, we could ride the ninja, which I that was one of my least favorite rides. I'll tell you that. We went and rode the ninja, which when I was a kid, that was the ride. You would go every year and try to be like, am I tall enough to am I tall enough to become a ninja? Because you kind of thought you would you did think you would ride it and kind of would like after the ride, you would know how to like I don't know, just karate kick or something. But I remember that was for me, that was the one I really wanted to ride. Like that one, and this Mr. Freeze and the Batman stuff too, but like I just remember like the ninja was like the badass one because it had like all these fucking just these flips and it looked cool. It was red. And I remember that was the ride that I like couldn't wait to do. And then this time we went to ride it, and because I'm taller, the shoulder things hit here instead of before it would like hit the top of my head, and I guess I didn't care as a kid, and now it just hits your neck, and you're just like we got as soon as we got off the ride. I was like, I don't give a fuck if I ever get on that ride again for the rest of my life. Um yeah, dude, it was it was a it was a rough go. Oh, dude, and then this dude, this little kid broke my heart, dude. We the f so when we get there, the first ride, as soon as you get there, you I usually you can go to the right or the left, and the left is cool, but I feel like it's like just you kind of natural, you go to the right, and as soon as you go, it's like they used to have the Batmobile, but I guess they had to sell that or whatever, they were probably running out of money. So they had to sell the Batmobile, and so now you don't see the Batmobile, but that's you go and there's the Batman, and I see a mom and a kid standing there, and a kid's doing that fucking thing, dude. It's so it's like because whenever you get older, you know, you people just like try to lie, but when you're a kid, you're like you're bound by the truth, and this kid is just doing that thing with his hand where he's trying to like make his head, he's like, that's where I want my head to be. I want my head to be right there. If my head was right there, I could ride the Batman. And he turned around, dude. He had like tears in his eyes, and I was like, we were like walking, and I almost was like, I almost was gonna be like, none of us will ride it then, because I dude, it broke my heart, dude, to see that because that's what sucks is it's not like because some of your kids are like or some of the kids your age are different heights. I was a short kid, I'm still a short kid, but like I'm a short guy, and I know how that feels. And then so like some of your buddies might even be younger than you and taller, and they get to ride the ride, but it's like your height isn't determined, like your bravery doesn't isn't determining your height, and that sucks. And I remember that feeling when you were a kid, and you're like, I swear to god, I want to ride the Batman. And then it and then so we saw this kid crying, and then we rode the Batman, and it was awesome, and I'm so sorry he didn't get to, and then all this, I'm sure all his cousins were like making fun, he's like, Shut the fuck up. So this kid didn't get to ride it, but then we go on the Mr. Freeze, which is like the fastest ride there. It goes immediately to like 60 miles an hour from the start. I don't remember, something like that. And we get on, and there's this like kid behind us, and I was like, You nervous? And he was like, No, dude, I already rode this earlier. And as soon as he was like, Oh, nice, and we said that, and we were talking, and then we were like all getting strapped in, and with this guy, dude, like the the worst guy, like the cop of the fucking six flags, he was like, Height check, and we were like, Height check, he's with his mom, and he and I get it, I know it's like he slips out, and then that guy goes to prison forever. It's like you don't want that to happen, none of us want that to happen. But he already said he had ridden it, and so he got out, and I have never seen a kid stand this tall. I've never seen, even when I stood up to my bullies when I when I was a kid, I never said this kid went out and was like, and he stood up and she like put the card there, and you could tell it was like, I mean, I don't think he was like like she's breaking the law, letting this kid ride. And I literally, I couldn't help myself because I just I I it's just the world I wanted to live in. Sometimes I just speak the world I want to live in. And I don't think I don't know if I changed this, but she was like deciding. I was like, he said he already wrote it, and she was like, and we were like, come on, he already wrote it, and he was like, whatever. And they said yeah, and then we all started clapping. I was like, You're so cool. And she was like, Thank you. And it was just nice because, dude, that kid, like, he dude, he already waited in line. He's like sitting there, and you're gonna tell him he's too short now. Let's tell him at can we please tell these kids before they like run all the way there that they're too short. Or then when I go get my face painted, they're like, just so you know, we're actually not allowed to do adults. And I'm like, Well, just so you know, my heart, in my heart, I'm a little kid, and I didn't get my face painted like this when I was a kid, because I'd asked my dad, I'm like, hey, can we paint my face like this? And he's like, What are you gay? I'm like, I don't even know what that is yet. And if I am, it probably shouldn't matter, but I don't know what it is, and it shouldn't matter when it does, when I know what it is.

Why Adult You Skips Water Rides

SPEAKER_00 16:16

God. Um yeah, but you it was I I just uh yeah, we had a we had a great time at Six Flags, and it was uh the night before too. We went out and saw Randy Feltface and got to hang out with him, and then I invited like some last-minute people. Sometimes I just have a feeling, and I invited my buddy Gabe, and my friend Tam and him knew each other like from growing up because she was like, I was older than him, so I would like watch some of the younger kids like after school at like Latchkey or whatever, and he was there sometime. So as soon as I like went inside, they were talking, and I come back out there. You know, we know each other from childhood. I'm like, no, but my heart did, but my frickin' heart knew that, so it's just cool. I love I love when I can just tell and I bring people together. So we brought a bunch of people out to his show. We got to hang out. Uh my buddy Doc he got to come out to the show and I introduced him to uh Randy Feltface uh in The Puppeteer, and he was like, dude, thank you so much. And I was like, Well, dude, I get to hang out at your bar and hang out with my favorite band because of you too. So it's like the it's it's just like mutual, it's just mutual. And so that's like a it's uh it was just a lovely weekend for mutual mutual love. And uh just having a really good time and getting your fucking face painted like a jackass. And then I had to go get gas too. And when I went to go get gas, I like you you just like I just like have a coffee and I just like I bring my I take my coffee up to the guy and I like forget that I have this on my face, you know? And I'm just like, oh here you go. And he's like, I really like your face. I'm like I like your face, man. And then you like I see my I'm like, oh yeah, I I look like a I look like a I look like a a tiger who just drank all night long. No, you guys go, I'll catch up. No, I can't, I'm I'm good, man. I can't get out there, but God, what a fun fucking day. I know I keep saying that, but it really was. And then, oh yeah, and then we got in trouble. I was on the carousel, and I dude, I don't I know I'm the fucking I'm through I'm 35 years old, but we were on the carousel, and I just like I got bored, so I took my phone out and I started like leaning and doing stuff, and then they had to like say an announcement, which it's like an announcement is for like when you're you know you're a teenager and you're like fucking around. But you know, I was like, and then the guy got upset with us, but then I remembered something, and I remembered that we went to go on one of the rides, and one of the worst things that can ever happen in the world happened at uh an amusement park, is we were walking up to a roller coaster and we looked down, and there was a massive pile of shit, like a humongous pile of human shit. It's definitely not like there's not deer in this fucking we're not in the woods, it's by the woods, but this is not this is uh human shit. And to see, like, to just know that someone was at an amusement park and was like, I gotta ride this ride and I gotta ride it right now, but I also have to shit, and I'm not getting the fuck out of line and I'm gonna write. So we watched uh we saw a pile of shit and then just had to walk by it and then pretend that didn't happen, and we were I was pretty grossed out, and then I was like, we should tell somebody, and they go, I think there's no way that no one isn't gonna tell anybody that, and then we went and got food not immediately after when we were like, I'm so hungry after seeing a pile of shit. We just went and got food later, and then a couple hours later came back to write it, and we were like, There's no way that pile is gonna be there. And when we were walking around, we were like, see, people are good. Someone cleaned it up. I was like, I guess I was wrong. And then we came around the other corner, and that's the corner the shit was at, and we were like, oh, and it was still there, and someone had walked through it. And I assumed that person at the top of the roller coaster unhooked their thing and just plummeted to their death. Because if I walked in shit, there's no way I would just be able to do that thing where you like drag it through dirt. There's definitely a thing where you have to be like, I'm gonna take my shoes off and I'm gonna walk into the woods and just lay down and just kinda give up for a little bit, but anyway. That's just how tigers fart now, so I don't want to freak you out, but that's just how they sound. God, dude, I've been waiting to fart all day, dude. My tummy is hurt all day. I would have killed a fart at the top of a roller coaster, but instead I would have a fart and I'd have to hold it in because you're like, there's no way I can shit my pants. Because even if you shit your pants and you kind of like hold it in your butt, you still have to be like, um, I'm actually just gonna turn around and everyone's gonna be like, why is that adult too scared to ride? And you're like, it's because he shit his pants. But luckily I didn't shit my pants. I'd just been holding that exact fart in all day. That's the culprit. That's the one I've

Face Paint Confidence And Being Seen

SPEAKER_00 21:10

been waiting to show everybody. Dude, the other day, my friend, she tried, she like tried to help me because I was like, dude, I have to fart. So we tried to like pump it out of my body. And what's crazy is it actually does work, but while you're doing it, you're like, at what cost? At what cost? Looking fucking absolutely ridonculous, getting my my legs fucking that thing you have to do, like I you have to do to babies to make them fart. You had to be doing it to an adult. You're gonna make me fart. Oh my god, you're gonna make me fart. But I'm taking fiber now, I'm really taking care of myself. I'm going to amusement parks, I'm taking care of myself, I'm doing fiber, and I'm gonna be on the road. So, what more could you want? You know, I'm just living life, living La Vita Loca. Just in the past week, I saw my favorite comedian, Rory Scoble, saw my favorite band, Story. The year. Got to hang out with so many amazing people. I love my favorite photographer, Chris Bauer, gonna hang out with him on Monday. Are we gonna do a shoot? Possibly. Are we gonna have fun? God damn definitely. Because that's the point I'm at. I'm trying to realize that the balance I find in life. Sometimes I work too hard and that hurts and doesn't feel good. Sometimes I just don't give a fuck too much and I party and hang out. That doesn't feel good either. But when I find this balance and how to adjust when the wind comes, it makes it all just that much more beautiful. But goddamn, if I'm not tired from just fucking- Oh, we also I tried to make a promo. I think it works, but it was also so we were like both so shaky. I asked my friend, I was like, Will you videotape me and do that thing where I'm like gonna look as serious as I can? I'm gonna turn around on the roller coaster and look at you and try to like look as serious as I can. Like I'm not enjoying the ride like a tough guy. And we tried it and we went down the hill, and I think I fucked up one of my vertebrae because I was like turned like this and staring and not trying to do anything and trying to like not laugh so my body's so tense and my C1 is fucked. Do I know where that is? No, but my body is telling me that at C I should see someone about this fucking back that I heard on the roller coaster. No bueno. God, I look so scary. I couldn't I kinda wish this wouldn't go to waste. I kind of want to wear this. And we were talking about this. I was like, this would be a funny sketch, but I also think it'd be funnier if I could just do this in real life. But like, yeah, I'd have to go into a bar dress like with my face like this, somehow kind of pick a fight, but then have Thunderstruck played on, and whenever it starts, it's like I go, and there's so many big guys that can easily kick my ass. I go, Well, I didn't think everyone was gonna rumble in the jungle tonight, ladies, and then just watch a bunch of guys kick my ass, but like I'm dressed like this, but like because I'm dressed like this for a second, they're like, maybe that guy does know a bunch of shit. Like, I always heard that there was like stories of guys who knew how to like fight, and they'd come out like dressed like weird or whatever, so everyone would make fun of them. They'd be like, This guy's effeminate. What'd you say to me? And they're like, This guy's a tiger. I'm like, and I fucking kick his ass. God, that or he kicks my ass. That's what would be funny.

unknown 24:28

God.

SPEAKER_00 24:29

Because if I kicked if I kicked someone's ass, honestly, because if someone kicks my ass, everyone's like, Man, that shouldn't have happened, that was crazy. But if I kick someone's ass, everyone's like, Oh. I guess we didn't know Bobby had that inside of him, and I guess I we really like when he's a lot sillier. We really like when he didn't punch a guy. I haven't punched a guy in years. When was the last time I punched a guy? Was it out of six flags? No. I don't think it was at six flags. I don't know. I think I've probably gotten punched. The last that thing punched was maybe me. No, no, no. I yeah, there was that. I think let me think. Yeah, I

Height Checks And Kids Getting Heartbroken

think the last time I punched a guy was like after a wedding. Yeah. He got like talking to me and being like an asshole, and I was like, What's this guy's fucking deal? And then we went to a bar afterwards, and I was like, Okay, here I don't have to deal with you because we're not at this wedding or whatever anymore. And then he just touched me and I was like, You can stop touching me. And then he put his hand on top of my head because he was like taller than me. And then so I was like, quit fucking with me, or whatever. And then I went like this, and I asked, I was like, Come here, let me tell you something. And then I punched him. So I kind of sucker punched him, but he also kept fucking with me. And so you gotta, you know, what it's just you know, I'm a tiger. And that was not grate, but they did almost throw me off the second store story balcony, and then I pretended I was fine. I go, guys, I'm cool. And these bouncers were like about to throw me off. And I was like, okay, I'm cool. And as soon as they turned away, I went and I fucking I think I punched him again, or at least I swung for him, and I might have connected, but he didn't, he came outside and he did that thing where he's like, I think we all like learned a lesson here. And I was like, Yeah, I I feel my lesson is that I learned I can punch and I've literally could just everything's okay right now. It's not a great story to tell, but I'm dressed like a tiger, and this is the law of the jungle, so that's just how it is. That's just the way it is. I am dressed like a tiger now. Oh, and then uh the last ride we rode was the boss. We went to back to the boss one more time because it's so fast, so fun. And we went to go to the very back, and there was like almost no one on, and then there was this uh girl behind us, her name is Emily, and she was very sweet. And she we like got stuck after the ride. There, hey, we gotta like stop this other thing and like clean up, so we're gonna like leave you guys there for five minutes. And we were like, okay. So we started talking to this girl, Emily, who knew everything about roller coasters. I was like, Yeah, I think my boss is like my favorite, like, yeah, it's pretty good, but you know, the biggest one is actually in Dubai, it's actually 600 feet tall. And I was looking at the one that was like one of the tallest in the at uh in uh at the six flags. I was like, how long how tall is that one? They're like, probably like 100 feet, and me and my friend at the same time, we go, and we like looked up and we were like, dude, I couldn't even imagine 600 feet, but it's in Dubai, and they said it's called like the Falcon or something, and it's and the place is only open at night because it can't be open in the day because Dubai gets too hot in the day. Dude, this Dubai place, I know it only has like fucking probably 16 weeks left before it's toast or whatever, but and I that's nothing political. I don't I have no idea what's going on, and I don't I'm just saying that it's literally toast, like it's hot.

SPEAKER_02 27:34

It's like I can't go up, I can't stay here no more. The AC's wanting now.

SPEAKER_00 27:39

But that's all that's all I want to say about that. But it's just fun to like talk to someone else who like knew about that. And also, the one of my favorite things about uh getting to go to Six Flags is we walk there's this place called the Palace, and it's right across the like way kind of from um this like bigger it's called like the I don't know, it's like the great bait. I don't know what it is, it's called the Great Glug Basin like show venue or whatever. But I remember one time my f cousin went with her friends and she was going to see, I want to say like Reliant K or something like that, I want to say. But we went before and they're like, well, we can't get you in that show because you're not old enough, but they took me, which is really sweet, and then we got to go see this band that I would kill if I ever got to meet these guys again. They were from Kansas City, but they played on the Palace stage, and I guess like my cousin at the time probably like was somehow connected, knew they were gonna play, followed them online. But these guys in this band called Fed Up from Kansas City, Missouri, they played like on the steps, and that was like what I would probably consider one of my very first like concerts that my cousin Jess took me to. And she was like a like kind of like punk rock, kind of hardcore. It was kind of like when gothic was like a brand new thing, so it's like kind of gothic, but also kind of punk, like you're just kind of you know, just you just want friends, and you're like, what do I have to wear? We can uh we have we don't have we're just figuring out the internet and how to make friends. And so she took me to see them, and I just passed like that place, and I like took a picture because I was like, that's crazy. Um, like how long? I don't know, because who knows when they're if they tear it down one day or something like that. I'm like, that's like where I saw my first like concert, and what I would consider because like I also saw like the fake blues brothers in Branson when I was a kid, but that doesn't count. Like I have a picture with them, and I remember being I remember like thinking, I was like, dude, I met the blues brothers, and then like you watch the movie, and that's like no, that's not Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, because he's dead. I was like, oh, well then why do we go to see the blues brothers? Like, because it was like it's like an impersonation. I was like, oh. When we could have gone to Silver Dollar City, you stupid fucks, even though Emily just told us it's actually not that good. There's only like five rides, and they're not even that big, so that's just something you gotta keep in mind. That's just something you gotta keep in mind, but um, I'm about to go inside. I'm it's so fucking hungry. I uh cannot wait to have uh I have a lot of stuff to share with you guys. I have a lot of uh I'm gonna be on the road, as you know. I have a lot of stuff I'm working on, and uh I just got there's just a lot of good vibes in the air, and this uh this time I'm not letting them go to waste. So I'm working very hard to put into fruition
