SO, WHY DID YOU GUYS CREATE

THIS?

I MEAN, WHY MINNEAPOLIS

TELEVISION?

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

>> WE WERE LOOKING FOR AN

OUTLET FOR OUR CREATIVITY AND

WE REALIZED THAT THE CITY OF

MINNEAPOLIS DIDN'T HAVE A

PLATFORM FOR IDEAS THAT WERE

KIND OF WACKY AND GOOFY,

PEOPLE NEEDED A PLACE TO PUT

THEIR STUFF, AND WE DECIDED TO

MAKE IT.

>> Adia: YEAH, YEAH, LIKE

THAT.

LIFE, GIVE PEOPLE A CREATIVE

VOICE THAT THEY MIGHT NOT FIND

ELSEWHERE.

>> Adia: IN THREE WORDS,

WHAT'S THE THING YOU'RE MOST

PROUD OF?

>> OH, WOW.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

>> THAT IS A REALLY GOOD

QUESTION.

Laughter

HE'S AT JUSTIN VERNON'S CABIN,

THOUGH.

>> Adia: JUSTIN VETERANON'S

CABIN -- VERNON'S CABIN.

>> ADIA: LET'S TAKE A LOOK

RIGHT NOW AT TWO VIDEOS FROM

MPLS.TV.

THE FIRST IS FROM THE SERIES

STREET STORIES WHERE

EVERYDAY PEOPLE FROM

MINNEAPOLIS SHARE THEIR

INTERESTING AND UNEXPECTED

STORIES ON LOCATION.

THEN, WE'LL LEARN A LITTLE

SOMETHING ABOUT OUR FAIR CITY

WITH A VIDEO FROM THE SERIES

PERFECTLY GOOD FACTS WHICH

FEATURES THE WALKER ART

CENTER'S SCULPTURE GARDEN.

>> I'M JESSICA.

>> AND I'M MEGAN.

>> AND THIS IS OUR STREET

STORY.

>> MEGAN AND I HAVE BEEN BEST

FRIENDS SINCE WE WERE 5 YEARS

OLD.

WE MET IN KINDERGARTEN.

WENT TO GRADE SCHOOL, HIGH

SCHOOL, COLLEGE.

TOGETHER.

>> YEAH, WE WERE HAVING A

SLEEPOVER AT MY PARENTS', YOU

KNOW, 15 YEARS OLD, AND WE

WERE UPSET WITH -- WE WERE

OBSESSED WITH SERIAL KILLERS.

>> WE WERE A LITTLE MORBID.

>> WE WOULD READ THE BOOKS,

WATCH THE MOVIES, STAY UP ALL

NIGHT.

>> EVER LITTLE NOISE, EVER

CREEK, WE'D BE LIKE, WHAT IS

THAT?

>> ESPECIALLY AT MEGAN'S

PARENTS' HOUSE, IT'S ALL

WINDOWS IN THE FRONT.

>> ON THE THIRD FLOOR.

WE WENT TO BED PROBABLY AROUND

MIDNIGHT OR SOMETHING.

AND AROUND, WHAT WAS IT, LIKE,

2:00, I WAKE UP TO THE SOUND

OF MY MOM JUST, LIKE, THIS

BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM.

OH, GOD, NO!

AND I'M JUST LIKE, WHAT?

AND MY MOM'S ALREADY KIND OF

LIKE A SHRILL KIND OF --

SO IT JUST -- IT SOUNDED

TERRIFYING.

>> SO I WAKE UP TO THIS.

>> YEAH.

>> RIGHT ABOUT 2:00 IN THE

MORNING.

>> I MEAN, I'M FREAKED OUT

ALREADY, JUST, YOU KNOW, GIVEN

OUR READING HABITS AND TWO

SECONDS LATER, WE HEAR MY

LITTLE BROTHER SCREAM.

AND THE FIRST THOUGHT THAT

POPPED INTO MY HEAD IS, YOU

KNOW, HANNIBAL ELECTOR.

>> MEGAN IS, WHAT SHOULD WE

DO?

THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING

REALLY HORRIBLE IS GOING ON IN

THE HOUSE.

>> I AM JUST PARALYZED, LIKE,

TOTALLY FROZEN RIGHT NOW.

>> EVERY STORY WE'VE EVER READ

IS RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND

OVER, YOU KNOW --

>> WE KIND OF ROSE TO THE

OCCASION, DON'T WORRY, MEGAN.

>> I'LL PEEK OUT THE DOOR.

>> YES.

>> THIS MAN RUNS BY WITH A

LONG SHOTGUN, LIKE, TWO FEET

AWAY FROM OUR DOOR.

>> MY HEART DROPPED.

>> JUST THOSE WORDS, SHE SAID,

THERE'S A MAN WITH A SHOTGUN,

ALL OF MY WORST FEARS ARE

COMING.

>> WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A BOOK

ONE DAY.

>> YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I

THOUGHT.

YEAH.

I CALLED 9-1-1, AND I GOT THE

OPERATOR AND I THINK THE FIRST

THING I SAID WAS, I'M NOT SURE

IF I SHOULD BE CALLING, BUT I

THINK SOMEONE'S MURDERING MY

FAMILY.

SHE TOLD ME, JUST REMAIN CALM

AND SHE WOULD STAY ON THE LINE

WITH ME UNTIL THE POLICE GOT

THERE.

SHE SAID NOT TO BE WORRIED, IF

I CITY FIGURES OUTSIDE THE

WINDOW, BECAUSE THAT WAS JUST

THE POLICE SURROUNDING THE

HOUSE.

FOR REAL?

>> YEAH.

>> THE POLICE CAME WITHIN --

UNDER A MINUTE, I THINK.

>> YEAH.

>> IT WAS FAST.

>> AS SOON AS SHE, YOU KNOW,

WAS TALKING TO THE LADY ON THE

PHONE, ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU

HEAR THE BUSHES RUSTLING GOING

AROUND HER HOUSE.

>> IT WAS JUST LIKE THE

S.W.A.T. TEAM WAS THERE.

>> THE OPERATOR SAID THAT THE

COP WOULD BE RINGING THE

DOORBELL.

>> THE DOORBELL RINGS, AND WE

HEAR SOMEBODY ANSWER IT.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR MY

DAD'S VOICE, AND HE GOES, ARE

YOU HERE FOR THE BAT?

>> I THINK THERE WAS A BAT IN

MY MOM'S -- IN --

>> SHE WOKE UP TO A BAT FLYING

AROUND HER ROOM.

>> I THINK SHE ACTUALLY SAID

THE BAT GOT IN HER HAIR.

THEY'RE ALL JUST IN A FRENZY

TRYING TO KILL THIS BAT.

>> AT ONE POINT, THE BAT GOT

OUT INTO THE LIVING ROOM AREA

WHERE MY DAD --

>> HER DAD CHASED IT DOWN WITH

A LONG BROOM.

>> YEAH.

>> I FELT RELIEVED.

>> I FELT GUILTY BECAUSE I

THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET

IN TROUBLE.

>> I REMEMBER TELLING THE

OPERATOR THAT IT WAS A BAT.

SHE'S LIKE, OH, GOOD.

>> THEN THE COPS, ACTUALLY,

WHEN THEY CAME, HELPED KILL

THE BAT.

>> THEY KILLED IT?

>> REMOVED IT, I THINK.

>> THEY NEVER INTERVIEWED US

OR ANYTHING.

YOU KNOW, TOOK A STATEMENT.

>> AND TO THIS DAY, GERALD

STILL THINKS THAT --

>> YOU CAN CALL THE COPS ON A

BAT AND THEY'LL COME.

>> STREET STORIES, HUH?

WELL, THAT WASN'T

DISAPPOINTING.

>> NOW, AS YOU'RE PROBABLY

ALREADY AWARE, A FULL 2/3 OF

THE NATION'S CHERRIES ARE

PRODUCED RIGHT HERE IN

MINNEAPOLIS PROPER.

AND AS YOU PROBABLY ALSO KNOW,

THE STATUE BEHIND ME, ENTITLED

THE SODA JERK VIRGINITY

COMMEMORATES THAT FACT, BUT

HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO

WONDER WHERE DID IT COME FROM

AND WHAT -- BLEEP -- IS IT

FOR?

MINNEAPOLIS, St. PAUL

WHERE BLEEP DOES IT COME

FROM

WHAT THE BLEEP ARE THEY

FOR

MINNEAPOLIS AND St. PAUL,

WE KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BUT

WE'D LOVE TO KNOW MORE

>> IN THE 1980s, THIS NATION

FACED A CRISIS.

AMERICA'S STRATEGIC ART

RESERVES ONCE THE ENVY OF THE

WORLD HAD BEEN DEPLETED TO

HISTORIC LOWS.

IN POINT OF FACT, ONLY A

HANDFUL OF PAINTINGS REMAINED.

IT WAS THEN THAT A ASTROLOGIER

NANCY REAGAN STEPPED IN WITH

FIND THE ART CAMPAIGN,

EMPLOYING THOUSANDS OF

INNER-CITY YOUTH TO TAKE TO

THE STREET IN SEARCH OF ART

MUSEUMS AND FIND THEM THEY

DID.

THE FIRST EVIDENCE OF THE

WALKER SCULPTURE GARDEN WAS

SPOTTED IN 1987 AND EXCAVATION

FOLLOWED THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

WASTE IT TO BE CLEARED AWAY TO

DISPLAY THE RICH ART DEPOSITS.

OVER 40 PIECES OF BLEEP ,

OF COURSE, SEVERAL HAVE BEEN

ADDED TO THE COLLECTION BY

SKILLED ARTISTS OVER THE

YEARS, BUT THE VAST MAJORITY

ARE THE RESULT OF NATURALLY

OCCURRING PHENOMONA.

SHAPED OVER EONS BY EXTREMES

OF HOT AND COLD, ERODED BY

WIND AND RAIN TO RESEMBLE

RABBITS, TRENCH COATS,

ARBORETUM.

BUT THE SCULPTURE GARDEN IS

NOT WITHOUT ITS DETRACTORS AND

SOME WOULD PREFER TO SEE IT

BULLDOZED FOR CHRISTIAN

READING ROOMS AND OUTLET

MALLS.

>> SCULPTURE IS NOT BAD.

SCULPTURE IS PLEASING FOR

CHILDREN.

>> AND, SO, THE CONTROVERSY

WAGES ON.

IS THE SCULPTURE GARDEN A

BEACON OF CULTURE OR IS IT A

CESSPOOL SEEKING RELEVANCE IN

A POST POST MODERN?

ONE WONDERS WHAT ART COLLECTOR

AND TEXAS RANGER T.B. WALKER

WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF ALL OF

THIS.

WHO DOESN'T WANT?

>> IF YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE

ABOUT THE SCULPTURE GARDEN,

ASK YOUR MOM OR MAKE UP YOUR

OWN DUMB -- BLEEP -- LIKE

WE DID.

Cheers and applause

>> Adia: WE HAVE ANOTHER

VIDEO FOR YOU.

THIS ONE FEATURES RAPPER PAUL

PAULS.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE THAT

SAME ONE SAME

BANG

I WASN'T TRYING TO DISGUISE

MY IMAGE

ANISHINABE

BECAUSE I GOT PEOPLE HITTIN'

ME UP SAYING THEY WANT TO KNOW

WHEN I SAT DOWN AND WROTE IT

ASPECTS OF MY LIFE THAT WERE

HOPELESS

THE LANGUAGE WAS SPOKEN

BUT IT WAS WRITTEN IN

ENGLISH

TRANSLATED AND HAD TO SPEAK

THE TRUTH READ IT

SHE MADE SOME CORRECTIONS

AND I MADE THE CONNECTION

IT WAS A BLESSING

IT WAS MEANT TO BE

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN

IT WAS MEANT TO BE

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN

IT WAS MEANT TO BE

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN

IT WAS MEANT TO BE

I MET HER IN ELEMENTARY

WOULDN'T SEE HER AGAIN TO MY

HIGH SCHOOL, FRESHMAN YEAR

SHE DISAPPEARED AGAIN UNTIL

MY JUNIOR YEAR IN COLLEGE

UNTIL MY SENIOR YEAR THEN I

DROPPED

I COULDN'T FORCE HER TO BE

MY PASSION

THAT'S WHEN I ACCEPTED THE

TRUTH AND KEPT ON RAPPIN'

SHE TREAT ME BETTER

BUT THAT WAS TO BE EXPECTED,

ACCORDING TO MY MENTOR

THE LANGUAGE WILL DO FOR YOU

NOT IN THEM EXACT WORDS BUT

YOU STILL GET THE CLUE

I'M FROM THE BRICKS, SHE'S

FROM THE STICKS

SHE'S NOT ONE AND TWO

I GUESS I WOULD YOU FOOLED

APRIL'S FOOLS

IT WASN'T MY INTENTION

YOU ALL JUST BLEW IT UP AND

TOOK THINGS OUT OF PERSPECTIVE

>> I'M JOINED NOW IN THE

STUDIO BY JENNIFER MENKEN FROM

THE BELL MUSEUM OF NATURAL

HISTORY AND SHE'S ABOUT TO

INTRODUCE TO US A SPECIAL

FRIEND.

KEVIN, I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

WHY IS THERE A SNAKE ON THE

SHOW TODAY?

>> WHAT'S A TALK SHOW WITHOUT

AN ANIMAL DEMO, I MEAN, COME

ON.

>> EVERY TALK SHOW NEEDS ITS

JACK HANNAH.

>> I AM NO JIMMY FALLON.

SO LET'S GET STARTED.

WHAT KIND OF SNAKE IS THIS?

>> THIS IS A BULL SNAKE.

THIS IS THE LARGEST SNAKE WE

GET IN THE WILD IN MINNESOTA.

THEY CAN GET TO BE EIGHT FEET

LONG.

THIS IS ONLY ABOUT FIVE.

GOT A LITTLE WAYS TO GO.

>> HOW OLD IS THIS SNAKE?

>> IT'S BEEN AT THE MUSEUM FOR

ABOUT 13 YEARS.

>> OH, MY GOSH.

HOW LONG DO THEY NORMALLY

LIVE?

>> THEY CAN LIVE 20, 25 YEARS.

THEY CAN LIVE LONGER THAN

THAT.

>> THAT'S VERY COOL.

YOU GUYS, HOW DO YOU FEEL

ABOUT SNAKES?

>> I FEEL FINE ABOUT SNAKES.

IT'S A BULL SNAKE?

>> I'M ACTUALLY A TAURUS, SO

WE HAVE KINSHIP WITH THAT

FELLOW.

>> Adia: GOOD.

WELL, SO WHAT KIND OF THINGS

DOES THIS SNAKE EAT?

IT'S NOT PEOPLE, I'M ASSUMING.

>> NO, NO.

THIS IS DEFINITELY A RODENT

EATER.

IT LIKES TO EAT GOPHERS AND

MICE AND SMALL RABBITS.

REALLY REALLY TINY CHILDREN.

NO, NOT.

>> WHAT ABOUT TACOS?

>> TACOS?

>> MAYBE TACO TUESDAY, YOU

KNOW.

>> HAS IT EVER BEEN ON A

PLANE?

>> HAS IT EVER BEEN ON A

PLANE?

THIS SNAKE HAS NOT BEEN ON A

PLANE.

IT'S BEEN A BOAT, IT'S BEEN ON

A RIVERBOAT BUT NOT A PLANE.

>> Adia: I WONDER, HOW MANY

PEOPLE COME IN AND SEE THE

SNAKE AND THEY'RE, LIKE, I

WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS,

DO THEY FREAK OUT?

>> WE DO PRETTY WELL.

WE TRY REALLY HARD TO CONVINCE

PEOPLE THAT THE SNAKES ARE

DECENT ANIMALS.

AND THEY'RE IMPORTANT.

WE DO OCCASIONALLY HAVE PEOPLE

WHO FREAK OUT AND BACK AWAY

SLOWLY FROM THE TOUCH AND SEE

ROOM AT THE MUSEUM.

>> Adia: WHAT'S THE SNAKE'S

NAME?

>> WE DON'T NAME OUR SNAKES.

>> Adia: YOU DON'T?

>> BUT YOU CAN CALL IT

WHATEVER YOU WANT.

BUT WE CALL IT A BULL SNAKE.

>> Adia: AND WHEN CAN PEOPLE

SEE THIS PARTICULAR SNAKE?

>> THIS SNAKE LIVES IN THE

TOUCH AND SEE ROOM AT THE BELL

MUSEUM, ANY TIME THE BELL

MUSEUM IS OPEN, YOU'RE WELCOME

TO COME AND VISIT.

Applause

>> HELLO, EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'M SO EXCITED.

A FRIEND OF MINE MESSAGED ME

ON Facebook TODAY.

HE SAID, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER

NIGHT AT THAT PARTY WHEN WE

WERE SITTING ON THE COUCH

TOGETHER, I THOUGHT ABOUT

KISSING YOU.

I DIDN'T.

IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

I JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD

KNOW.

THAT'S KIND OF A COMPLIMENT.

HE'S SAYING THAT I, ELIZABETH,

AM RESISTIBLE.

Laughter

I'M RESISTIBLE.

I WAS RESISTED.

AND IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

Laughter

IT NEVER IS.

I WENT TO A PSYCHIC RECENTLY

BECAUSE I WANT TO GET MY LIFE

TOGETHER.

Laughter

SHE READ MY TARRO.

SHE TOLD ME THREE THINGS,

FIRST, I SHOULD KEEP DOING

COMEDY, SECOND, MY NEXT

BOYFRIEND'S GOING TO BE A

GIVER.

AND, THIRD, I SHOULD JUST

IGNORE THAT DEATH CARD, IT

PROBABLY MEANS NOTHING.

Laughter

SHE'S A BETTER PSYCHIC THAN

SHE REALIZES.

I DO LIVE IN NORTH

MINNEAPOLIS.

Laughter

IT'S A LOT OF FUN.

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE.

I HAVE A GOOD ROOMMATE.

SHE'S A HITSTER.

I'M NOT, THOUGH, I JUST HAVE

ASTIGMATISM AND BAD TASTE IN

EVERYTHING.

Laughter

THERE'S BARELY A DIFFERENCE.

FOR INSTANCE, SHE DECORATES

WITH A LOT OF VINTAGE STUFF.

AND IT'S NOT GOOD STUFF LIKE

IF YOU TOOK IT ON ANTIQUE ROAD

SHOW THEY WOULD SAY, WELL, AT

LEAST YOU LIKE IT.

Laughter

I DON'T REALLY DECORATE AT

ALL.

ALL I HAVE IN MY ROOM IS AN

AIR MATTRESS AND A DRUM SET.

I LIKE IT AND GUYS LIKE IT,

TOO, BECAUSE THE DRUM SET SAYS

THAT I ROCK AND THE AIR AIR

MATTRESS SAYS THAT I WILL

SETTLE FOR LESS.

Laughter

THAT IS A TRUE STORY.

MY MOM HATES THAT JOKE.

SHE'S, LIKE, TELL THEM YOU

HAVE A BED.

I DO.

IT'S ON LAYAWAY.

AND SEVEN MONTHS AT BAD -- IN

SEVEN MONTHS, THAT BAD BOY'S

MINE.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT AND DIE

ALONE IN IT.

I WON'T DIE ALONE.

IT'S FINE.

I DO ONLINE DATING.

IT IS NOT GOING WELL.

I'VE HEARD THAT IF YOU POST --

YOU HAVE BETTER CHANCES IF YOU

POST A FULL-BODY PHOTO OF

YOURSELF.

AND I WANT BETTER CHANCES BUT,

AT THE SAME TIME, IF A GUY

THINKS I'M FAT, I KIND OF WANT

HIM TO WASTE A TRIP TO FIND

OUT.

NO, PUT ON YOUR PANTS, GET IN

YOUR CAR, MEET ME AT THE

APPLEBEE'S WHERE I WILL BE

ANYWAY.

I'LL TALK ABOUT NICKIE MINUTE

ACKNOWLEDGE FOR 20 MINUTES

BECAUSE I HAVE A GREAT

PERSONALITY.

YEAH, I SHOULD GET SERIOUS

ABOUT DATING BECAUSE I HEARD

THE STATISTIC THAT OVER THE

COURSE OF A LIFETIME, IT COSTS

A MILLION DOLLARS MORE TO BE A

SINGLE WOMAN.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW CATS ATE

THAT MUCH.

Laughter

Applause

LIKE MAYBE IF YOU HAVE 12 OF

THEM.

WHICH, YOU KNOW, GOD WILLING.

Laughter

IT'S HARD FOR ME TO GET BACK

INTO DATING, THOUGH, BECAUSE I

SPENT A YEAR CELIBATE.

THANK YOU FOR THE MOMENT OF

SILENCE.

Laughter

I LOVE RESPECT.

THIS IS GOOD.

AND I WASN'T DOING IT FOR

RELIGIOUS REASONS.

I'M AN ATHEIST, I DON'T

BELIEVE IN KANYE WEST.

Laughter

I WAS DOING IT BECAUSE I

WANTED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I

WANTED IN MY NEXT

RELATIONSHIP.

FOR INSTANCE, MY LAST

BOYFRIEND WAS A BIGGER GUY.

AND NOT BIG IN AN ENJOYABLE

WAY.

HE WAS BIG LIKE A WATER BED.

AND WATER BEDS CAN BE A LOT OF

FUN BUT THIS ONE SWEAT A LOT

AND IT OWED ME MONEY.

BUT THE COOL THING ABOUT A

WATER BED IS, YOU STAB IT ONCE

AND YOU'RE DONE.

Laughter

NO WITNESSES.

OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Cheers and applause

>> Adia: LET'S HEAR IT FOR

ELIZABETH ESS.

THANK YOU, ELIZABETH, THAT WAS

AWESOME.

THANK YOU.

I LOVE THE TATTOO.

YES.

GREAT.

DON'T THINK ABOUT IT TOO HARD,

THOUGH.

NOW FOR SOME MUSIC FROM THE

BAND FIELD TRIP, FORMERLY

KNOWN AS THE LUCY MICHELLE AND

THE VELVET LAPELS.

THEN, WE'LL HEAD TO THE BRYANT

LAKE BOWL TO MEET THE MAN

WHO'S BEEN RUNNING THINGS

BEHIND THE SCENES FOR MORE

THAN 30 YEARS.

LAZY BONES

WILL STAY SOBER

UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE

WITHOUT KNOWING AT ALL

GIVE ME WHAT I NEED I'LL

GIVE YOU SUN AND WATER

HOW DO WE KNOW ANYTHING AT

ALL

EVERYTHING IS

AT ANY MOMENT

VERY SLOWLY

THE CARPET IS A MAGNET

AND WE ARE IN ITS FIELD

SEE THE SUN

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT UP HERE

ENJOY IT WHILE YOU

HOW DO WE KNOW

ANYTHING AT ALL

EVERYTHING IS SO GREAT

AT ANY MOMENT

>> MY NAME IS ROGER RINGMARK

AND I'M THE ALLEY MAN HERE.

>> I BECAME A -- IT BECAME A

BOWLING ALLEY IN EITHER 1936

OR 1937.

BEFORE IT WAS A BOWLING ALLEY

IT WAS A -- WHEN THEY FIRST

STARTED BOWLING, THEY HAD

HUMAN PIN SETTERS.

THEY HAD LANES THAT THEY'D

STAND IN WHILE THE PEOPLE WERE

BOWLING AND THEY'D GO OUT AND

THEY'D SET UP THE PINS.

I THINK IT WAS LIKE IN '69

THAT THEY PUT IN THE AUTOMATIC

MACHINES.

BILL WAS THE OWNER AT THE

TIME.

AND HE'S ONE OF THE CLASSIC

BOWLERS.

I BELIEVE HE'S IN BOTH

MINNEAPOLIS AND St. PAUL

HALL OF FAME.

HE USED TO SIT IN THE WINDOW

OF THAT BOOTH UP THERE.

HE'D PLAY GIN AND WHILE HE'S

PLAYING GIN, I'D TAKE CARE OF

THE COUNTER FOR HIM.

I'VE BEEN HERE PROBABLY

SOMEWHERE AROUND 30 YEARS OR

MORE.

AND I'M 76 NOW.

WHEN HE TOOK OVER, THERE

WASN'T ANYBODY ELSE THAT COULD

WORK ON IT.

MONDAYS I CLEANED THE GUTTERS

AND TOWELED THE HEADERS THE

FIRST 16 FEET.

AND THEN I HAVE A SQUEEZE

BOTTLE THAT I OIL THE LANES

WITH.

AND I LET IT SET FOR A WHILE.

AND I'LL HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE

AND THEN START TOWELING THE

LANES.

WE DID HAVE ONE GUY THAT WENT

RUNNING DOWN THE LANES AND

BELLY FLIPPED THROUGH THE PIN

DECK.

I LOVE THE GAME OF BOWLING.

WHEN I FIRST STARTED BOWLING,

I PROBABLY BOWLED SIX LEAGUES

A WEEK.

PLUS ALL THE TOURNAMENTS I

BOWLED SOMEWHERE AROUND A

DOZEN TOURNAMENTS A YEAR.

I'D BOWL IN NIAGARA FALLS AND

I'D BOWL IN TEXAS AND I'D BOWL

IN RENO.

I'VE BEEN BOWLING AS LONG AS I

KNOW.

ANY TIME ANYTHING HAPPENS WITH

MACHINES, A GHOST MUST HAVE

DID IT.

AND I GUESS HE ROAMS AROUND

BEHIND THE ALLEYS, I GET

PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN HIM

DOWNSTAIRS.

Cheers and applause

>> ADIA: EVER FEEL LIKE YOUR

DANCE MOVES COULD USE SOME

MORE GROOVE?

I'M HERE WITH LOCAL DANCE

AFFICIANDO AND FORMER HOST OF

PUBLIC ACCESS TV SHOW FREAKY

DEAKY BOBBY KAHN.

TWO.

BOBBY, TAKE IT AWAY.

>> HELLO THERE, KIRN.

I'M HERE TO SHOW YOU HOW TO

GET DOWN TODAY.

CHEERS

BUT, FIRST, I WANT TO TELL YOU

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF.

I USED TO BE AFRAID TO DANCE

AND NOW IT IS MY FAVORITE

THING.

AND WHAT I LEARNED ALONG THAT

WAY IS THAT IT'S MOSTLY A

MENTAL THING THAT YOU NEED TO

GET OVER TO BECOME A GOOD

DANCER.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW

GOOD YOU CAN DANCE.

AND ONE THING I LEARNED IS IT

HELPS TO FEEL COOL.

SO YOU KIND OF GOT TO WALK

AROUND, WAG YOUR HEAD A LITTLE

BIT LIKE THIS.

CAN I SEE SOME WAGGING IN THE

STUDIO AUDIENCE HERE?

WE GOT A LITTLE WORK TO DO.

IT ALSO HELPS TO FEEL COOL IF

YOU LOOK COOL.

SO YOU GOT TO ACCESSORZIE A

LITTLE BIT AND I GOT LOVELY

MISS JENNIFER OVER HERE TO

HELP ME.

I GOT MY SPECIAL SUNGLASSES.

I LOOK A LOT COOLER.

OH, WAIT, I FORGOT SOMETHING

HERE.

WE GOT A LITTLE MORE.

CHEERS

A LITTLE BETTER, RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, THIS IS WHERE Y'ALL COME

IN.

WHAT MY DANCE CLASS IS, IS YOU

GET TO BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW

AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT

IT'S LIKE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO COME OVER

HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, I'M GOING TO START IT OFF,

BUT WHAT I NEED IS ANYONE

WHO'S BRAVE ENOUGH TO COME IN

AFTER ME.

I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.

A FEW THINGS YOU WANT TO KNOW

ABOUT DANCING IN A CIRCLE.

YOU WANT TO TAKE UP AS MUCH

SPACE AS YOU CAN.

SO YOU WALK AROUND.

WALK AROUND, WAGGING YOUR

HEAD, WAGGING YOUR HEAD.

THE WHOLE TIME, WAGGING YOUR

HEAD.

YOU PICK SOMEONE OUTSIDE, NO,

NO, NO, NO, NO.

ANOTHER THING YOU GOT TO

REMEMBER WHEN YOU'RE IN THE

CIRCLE IS TO STAY SASSY AND

CRISP EVERY DAY.

SO REPEAT AFTER ME, WHEN I'M

IN THE CIRCLE, I WILL STAY

SAFE.

ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL START WORKING ON THAT

ONE.

OKAY.

CAN WE GET THE MUSIC A LITTLE

LOUDER?

ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO.

WATCH ME.
