- 0:16Speaker 1: Holy cow, what a Monday we have here. Did you
- 0:19Speaker 1: guys have a fun weekend? I don't know if you
- 0:21Speaker 1: can tell from the sounds of my voice, but I
- 0:23Speaker 1: was out all weekend doing stuff. I had events on Friday,
- 0:27Speaker 1: I had events on Saturday, I had events on Sunday.
- 0:30Speaker 1: So Friday I was doing like a corporate party. It
- 0:33Speaker 1: was a prom that was fun. And then Saturday all
- 0:35Speaker 1: day at Izzy'scon. I'm gonna circle back and talk about
- 0:38Speaker 1: that here in a second. And then yesterday I was
- 0:40Speaker 1: helping at the Sioux Falls Air Show. Holy cow, what
- 0:43Speaker 1: an amazing event, all of them. The air show. I
- 0:47Speaker 1: don't know how many people were there, A ton of people,
- 0:49Speaker 1: and again what a great turnout they had. And we
- 0:52Speaker 1: had a couple of sprinkles yesterday. But other than that,
- 0:54Speaker 1: again still fantastic. So a big thank you to everybody
- 0:58Speaker 1: who puts the time and effort into doing the Sioux
- 1:01Speaker 1: Falls air Show and thank you for letting us be
- 1:03Speaker 1: a part of that. And now I want to circle
- 1:05Speaker 1: back to Izzy's Cohn. About two months ago I spoke
- 1:09Speaker 1: with Chris from Izzy's Jim, and that's when I first
- 1:12Speaker 1: discovered he was doing this event called Izzy's Con. He goes,
- 1:14Speaker 1: I'm doing this thing. It's on Saturday, the eighteenth of July,
- 1:17Speaker 1: and I look at my calendar. I go ooh, that's
- 1:19Speaker 1: the same weekend as the air show. And I thought,
- 1:22Speaker 1: I don't know, that might be a bad idea because
- 1:24Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that go to the air show.
- 1:26Speaker 1: But I was like, you know what, here's the thing though,
- 1:28Speaker 1: A lot of people park at the convention center and
- 1:32Speaker 1: ride to the air show. So if they're going to
- 1:34Speaker 1: the air show and they'ing be out in the sun
- 1:35Speaker 1: all day, maybe they'll show up afterwards at the Izzy's Con.
- 1:40Speaker 1: And it was a free event and anyway, so back
- 1:43Speaker 1: then he was super nervous, going, man, I hope this
- 1:45Speaker 1: thing comes together. Then over the course of the next
- 1:47Speaker 1: couple months, we saw things taking shape. This was added,
- 1:50Speaker 1: that was added, everything was coming together. And I remember
- 1:53Speaker 1: about a week ago I was talking to Chris, and
- 1:55Speaker 1: he was so nervous. He's like, man, what if nobody
- 1:57Speaker 1: shows up? John, what if nobody shows up? Now I
- 1:59Speaker 1: got all these sponsors and all these people that are
- 2:01Speaker 1: dependent on me, and Chris is such a great guy.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It was like eating away at him. And I said,
- 2:05Speaker 1: you're gonna have a great turnout. It's going to be amazing.
- 2:08Speaker 1: And I left there going, man, I hope I'm right.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Well I was right. Holy cow, for all of you
- 2:14Speaker 1: who came out. I was there all day Saturday and
- 2:17Speaker 1: it was amazing. And we had this huge rush right
- 2:20Speaker 1: away in the morning, and then right about as it
- 2:22Speaker 1: was tapering off, that's when the air show got done,
- 2:24Speaker 1: and then we had another rush of people who had
- 2:26Speaker 1: been at the air show all day and they were
- 2:28Speaker 1: coming in. It was so much fun. So a big
- 2:30Speaker 1: thank you to everybody who came out, everybody who came
- 2:32Speaker 1: out to be a part of the first ever Izzy's Con.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I got a feeling there'll be another one in the
- 2:36Speaker 1: future because it did go really, really, really well. But
- 2:39Speaker 1: I just wanted to say hats off to all the
- 2:42Speaker 1: people who work at Izzy's Gym. They busted their hump
- 2:46Speaker 1: to get that thing all set up. And the signage,
- 2:49Speaker 1: the laying things out, getting things coordinated again. Whole team
- 2:53Speaker 1: of people who work their tails off, and you guys
- 2:55Speaker 1: did just an amazing job and I was so honored
- 2:58Speaker 1: to even just be a part of that on Saturday.
- 2:59Speaker 1: It was really, really, really good. So now on my calendar,
- 3:03Speaker 1: like we had our big Fourth of July event two
- 3:06Speaker 1: weeks ago, my daughter got married. Three weeks ago, i
- 3:09Speaker 1: had the air show and Izzy's Con. I'm kind of
- 3:11Speaker 1: through all of the most important stuff. I've got a
- 3:13Speaker 1: couple of the other events coming up. I've got some
- 3:15Speaker 1: car shows and some stuff coming up. But you know what,
- 3:19Speaker 1: I feel like I might actually get to rest a
- 3:21Speaker 1: little bit this week. And like I said, I don't
- 3:22Speaker 1: know if you could hear it in my voice, but
- 3:24Speaker 1: my voice is a bit rough from being gone and
- 3:27Speaker 1: busy for a long long time. So I'm gonna be
- 3:29Speaker 1: okay with that. So if you need me, I'm gonna be,
- 3:31Speaker 1: you know, here, maybe taking a nap. But we do
- 3:34Speaker 1: have a lot of fun stuff. I've got comedy show
- 3:37Speaker 1: coming up this Thursday at Billy Frog's. I actually have
- 3:40Speaker 1: a corporate comedy show in Mitchell on Friday, and there's
- 3:43Speaker 1: a comedian who will be in Sue Falls from the
- 3:46Speaker 1: Kiltony Podcast this Saturday, and I'm gonna be helping promote
- 3:51Speaker 1: that and I'll be doing an interview with him, I
- 3:52Speaker 1: believe tomorrow, So stick around and get all the details
- 3:55Speaker 1: on that. And you can find the full comedy calendar

- 4:01Speaker 1: slowed down, but they didn't stop. I still got stuff
- 4:03Speaker 1: to do. Don't you worry about me. I will not.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever wake up and say I'm bored.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I just don't think that's gonna happen. Thank you so
- 4:10Speaker 1: much for listening. Again, this is something you should know,
