I don't wanna spoil the stories you'll hear on this episode, but I will tell you that at one point, a member of her family gets banned from a damn Ruby Tuesday's.

And for people who have not been down there before at Ruby Tuesday, Moanalua Shopping Center, Billy, it's like a pretty extensive setup.

He has to set up the speakers for In the House so that people can hear the program.

He's got to set it up to be able to obviously broadcast over radio and stream.

So they've played eight matches now.

Obviously, they're winning a little bit, five-match win streak, and so that's going to usually help the numbers down there as far as attendance.

But, yeah, it was a nice crowd out there on the patio over there at Ruby Tuesday, and I think they took a picture with, like, every single person, certainly every person that asked, and it was really cool of them.
