Scott Vord, Matt Tompkins of Matt and Ben fame. This
is the fame from radio shows, whether hosted with your
brother Ben or done stuff you've done with other people.
TV shows Omaha Live one of my favorite TV shows
of all time, and not just because I got a
(00:21):
chance to be on at once, but and now two
brothers creative a lot of video podcast stuff. And you
see Matt Oliver social media and he joins us here
again on kfab former kfab radio personality.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
This is where I got my start, you know, this
is where it all began. And so I blame you
number one.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I wasn't here yet when you started. You got here
via Tom Becka and stayed anyway. And Gary Matthew, Matthew
matt not good. Yes, it is supposed to be here
and not here.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You didn't mention all the other my other failings that
like nobody even knows about too.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You missed the mention the success stories.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
But there's been a lot of I still host radio
shows by myself. They don't broadcast anywhere, but I'm proud
of the work. In the car every day from four.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
To seven, I do an afternoon drive show. Yeah, you know,
driving around town.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'm driving at home, driving at home, we close out
the day just you know, you have.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Something they do in traffic, because you know I could
maybe step in there a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Usually I would love that. That would be great. Matt
Tompkins is the host of Muttering to Myself with Matt Tompkins.
It's on a sporadic times, sometimes in the middle of
the night. The slogan is I love to hear the
sound of my own voice. How about you? It's no.
I think it's really fun to have you back here
on kfa B. How long has it been since you've
(01:42):
been on our station. You did some stuff on Tom's show,
You hung out on this show. I've got a song
that you and Ben did live on my show. I'm
going to play at some point here, the Valentine's Son.
I think it's one of the greatest love songs of
all time. Oh, yes, you guys did a weekend show.
You were on Saturday The Weekly ten with Matt and Benn.
(02:02):
We tried to rhyme everything. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You gotta be a rhyme source these days. Yeah, you know,
it's marketing one on one folks. Yeah, but I started
a December of two thousand and fours when I started
as Matt the Intern, which I still get called Matt
the Intern. Our friend Subway Jay, who was here back
in the day if you remember a long you know,
longtime listeners, he gave me that nickname, and I work
with him now every day he works with my company,
(02:24):
and he still has me in his phone.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Is Matt the Intern? Yes? And then you're still in
my phone a subway subway? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Which that's you know, talk about nicknames to get for
like radio names, right, that was one.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Well that was an easy one. His name is Jared.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, I know, but I'm saying, look what happened to
the real subway Jared? Do you want to be named after,
you know, when Matt.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
News broke you. Yeah, you can go by Jared or
Jay or something like that. But think about being grol
Omaha co host Jeff Biels. For a long time, it
was kind of like, hey, you look like the guy
from the subway commercials?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
How about wait? I didn't think about that, right, and
then as he's picked up by international authorities and suddenly
it's like, ah, you look like the guy from the
subway commercials. Yeah, Jeff has been doing a lot of
plastic surgery to get away from that. Yeah, and just
a great guy.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I love Jeff and he is I am totally sucking
up to him because he is connected to businesses.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And I need money. I need money. Yes, we need
new business, come on note. But I didn't even think
about that. You're right. I was reminded last night.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I was at this networking event and a woman remembered
in Ahia Live and it's rare that that happens most people.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
When they watched this show. It aired midnight after SNL.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
They were followed. They fell asleep during SNL. They woke
up in the middle of our show and wondered, what
in the hell is happening?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Is?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
When did SNL go downhill? Like what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And so she was pulling up the YouTube channel and
then every video she was trying to find me, but
she couldn't recognize me because back then I was about
forty bounds heavier, I was pale, I was not taking
good care of myself, and I'm like, that's me. She
look at it point, that's not you. You know, you
kind of look like that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Adam.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Adam knows everything. Remember that show, Adam, he had the glasses.
I got recognized by him all the time. I've never
had someone argue.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
By people who know who this very less known person is. Yeah,
but it was it was weird. I was having to
argue with this woman who just met that that was me.
So it was like, you get recognized, but then you
don't get credit for the recognition. Who I know how
that is? I get recognized for Denzel a lot, and
I'm sure he does me too.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
The wait, are we talking Denzel from like down the
street and Benson or are we talking Denzel like the
big Denzel.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I've only heard Denzel. I don't know who it is. Okay,
it could be either your TV show, Omaha Live. I
had a chance to do some filming stuff with you,
and it usually started off with we don't have permission
to do this, but and then we would just you know,
do whatever. Yeah, a lot of gorilla filming. You know,
it was really good stuff here. But since then, two
(04:56):
brothers creative a great marketing affirm here the community. Do
you a plug for that? Before we move on to
the topic at hand.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
All right, that's Matt laughing, Matt Tompkins.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I'm just going along with the show. Listening.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well, I wanted to. I wanted to convene this cabal
here on this very romantic day because when I think romance,
I think Matt, I think Lucy. Certainly my being the
ultimate love daddy. This is this is a good match here.
But I wanted to to bring you in here because
there's a sad tinge on this Valentine's Day, sad. And
(06:05):
it occurred to me, well, I don't know, it occurred
to me that there are probably several people for whom
this is the first Valentine's Day where they've they're at
this same status, or they've been through this recently or
will be in a year from now, since everyone's on
ozepic and they're losing a bunch of weight to get
rid of you, and then then they move on with
their lives. So this status is yeah, they how do
(06:28):
you approach.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Valentine's Day when you are especially midlife? You know, I
just turned forty four, right, so still in your demo?
I think, right, yes, yes, all right, yeah, see look
at me, look at me. I still know things. And
you're you're newly single and you're in this new digital
world where you're on the dating apps. You don't know
how to take a selfie appropriately, you don't know what
to put in your bio from the waist up. I think,
(06:51):
is they opposed to I would be happy to share
some practical tips today. And this is no joke. I
mean we're kidding, but like this is. I go on
dating apps and I have for years. Simply maybe that's
why I'm single. No, simply because of how entertaining they are,
how bad people are like putting themselves out there in
the best light. Can I share one quick example of
(07:12):
this woman from Valentine or undisclosed location, sorry, this woman
from a small town Nebraska. And she started off with unflattering,
low angle selfie at work in her scrubs, and then
she started off as saying, if you don't have a
big just don't keep reading. Obviously I kept reading. So
then the next line was, I am not here to
(07:36):
be anybody's sugar baby. I am a fifty two year
old single mother of four and I work sixty hours
a week. Now, obviously the news has not gotten to Valentine,
Nebraska because I don't think she knows what a sugar
baby is. I don't think I know what a sugar Okay,
so this would be like a younger attractive woman who
has an arrangement or is dating like an older gentleman,
(07:58):
this sugar daddy baby. Yes, it's it's like a thing,
and some.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Of it some of it's overt, some of it's coverts.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know, there's there's services out there, websites, some kinds
of stuff, but you gotta.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Be honest, You got to be upfront about what you want.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I don't think there are a lot of like wealthy,
multimillionaire older men who are seeking out the company of
a fifty two year old single mother of four.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Maybe they should, but maybe I don't know. It doesn't
it doesn't fit the stereotypical profile of a sugar baby. Yeah,
the crew. Usually you're looking for someone younger, less tethered,
who's just up for partying a good time, about sixty
hour work weeks. Uh, but you know, people are living longer.
So maybe someone in there, you know, mid one hundred
and teens is thinking, well, this is exactly what I want,
(08:40):
and I hope that they find each other. How you
didn't swipe left or right or there was a swipe left.
There's a swipe left on that one. I don't know
how it works.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I yeah, swipe right is let's do it. Let's let's talk.
That sounded dirty. Yeah, let's like, you know, do the
dating thing. Let's communicate and then if you match, you
can you can talk with with people you know you
have You've got Tinder, which is kind of a little
bit of a dumpster fire hinges more for like where
we might actually meet someone that's normal, and then you
have like bumble grinder is one I've heard about. I
haven't tried that one out yet, but I don't know.
(09:10):
I've heard that that one might be for like a
selectric group of individual. Lucy's looking at me like she
gets the joke. Now, Grinder would be like men seeking man.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I believe in taking man.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So not which is fine, it's just not That's not
where I go to. That's not what I'm seeking, all Right.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I have you've been through most of the women, so
let's not roll out either another gender or species at
this point.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Species, I have that covered. I was abducted by aliens.
That was a heck of a night. That was a
good time.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Matt Thompkins, here can I can I come back here
in just a moment on this this newly single stage,
your first Valentine's Day in a long time being a single.
Let's I want to try and pierce through your soul,
your your your hard, crusty exterior here and see if
there's any kind of soul in there because this this
kind of emotion. I want to get you to cry.
(09:59):
I want to out of tears because this this might
be something that some people are dealing with this Valentine's
Day is we want to address that with Matt Tompkins. Next,
Matt Tompkins is here not being streamed, and no offense
that you mad of Matt and Ben radio on multimedia.
Get bit out of here. Okay, let's get Ben all right.
(10:20):
I'm tired of ride on his coach for Ben to
show up.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
He's teaching high school English at Bennington High School. He's
living his best life. He's got a baby named Gus.
I'm an uncle.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now, you know, I got to start acting like an adult.
Not let's let's wait until after the show. So we
mentioned a moment ago. This is your first Valentine's Day
in a long time, since you've been a single guy
now and you're early to mid forties. It's is this,
(10:50):
I mean, what are we thinking here today? Oh I'll
tell you this. Listen. I'm a little unique. You both.
It's the understatement of the world. Why you're here.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I have always despised Valentine's Day. So here's my thing.
Here's one of my weird proclivities. Is that what it
is is that the word tell me what it is.
You know English better than me. It's not my fourth language,
you know, that's not wasn't born here. So I love
giving people greeting cards. I love giving people greeting cards.
And I have a kind of an addiction to green cards.
(11:21):
So I'll go to the greening card. I'll I know
the brands. I know, Proprius, Hallmark, I can tell you
a signature.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I know. These cards are.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I love giving cards to not just like people I know,
but like literal strangers. I'll put cards with like I'll
slip like a fifty dollar bill or a hundred dollars bill,
and I'll just leave it anonymous, slip it underneath the
door of the big co working building.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I got an office.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
That's why you don't have any money?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That's probably why.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, that, and yeah, and then the women thing. But no, no,
I do that because then I imagine in my head
this person walks out of their office door and they
don't know who anybody in this building could have given
me this card, and it just changes their whole perception.
I'm cheesy like that. I love giving greeting cards. Soalentine's
Day to me, it's a double edged sword. Yes, the
cards are amazing. I buy a bunch of them. I
(12:05):
cross out Valentine's and I write Tuesday, you know, like
that's that's my That's how I roll.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I feel.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It is it is a fake, made up holiday to
get more money out of us.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's a it's a squeeze right after Christmas and.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
New Year's and then of course my birthday, which on
I E already celebrates on February fourth. Every birthday, I
just thank you, thank you, I'm glad you remembered. But
for me, I think you should do gifts and loving
gestures every day except Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is the
one day where it's so fake and manufactured. So today, honestly,
I feel the same level of just discussed towards Valentine's
(12:41):
Day as I have my entire life.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Do you watch football? You're a football fan?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Sometimes I didn't watch any of the Super Bowl, so
that pray tells me where I'm at on the footballs.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Well, my analogy be better if you could just say, yeah,
I know it's football ball, I can I can run
scratching the guys that usually say what you just said.
I always say do you watch football? And they say yeah, yeah,
And I said, did you watch Super Bowl? Yeah? Why
you watch football all the rest of the year, all
the rest of the season. Why do you need to
show that you're a football fan? By watching the super Bowl.
(13:11):
Valentine's Day is the super Bowl of romance. It's the
super Bowl of love. It's as commercialized as you make it.
And you should do something special. It doesn't have to
be go spend a bunch of money, it doesn't have
to be fight the crowds to get a reservation somewhere.
Just something unique and special, just to let that special
someone say hey, you're a special lady. And I noticed
(13:33):
here here's where you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That analogy would be apropos would be perfect if you
took all the meaning out of the super Bowl. If
you said, hey, at World, and we want you all
to tune in for this special game that is a
scrimmage that means nothing, and it's gonna cost you money
because you have to pay for it via pay per view.
You know you can't get away with Valentine's Day just
for free. I mean, yeah, you can do homemade cards,
I guess, but I mean she's not gonna you know,
(13:57):
nobody's gonna like that to trust me. I know the cards.
Remember we just had this conversation. So yes, if you're
in a relationship, in a marriage, especially for a long time,
you have to do something for Valentine's.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Skip to I get to I'm so excited to do
something specially. Have we ever asked each other like.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Do you really want something? On von Valentine's They do
you really want me to get you a box full
of random chocolate? Of those chocolates in that heart box
are terrible. There's only like one caramel one that I like.
And I had to hunt through all the coconut ones
and the weird ones, the pecans. No, no, just give
me a box full of caramel covered chocolates. And it
doesn't have to be in the shape of a heart.
(14:33):
Could be any ship, could be any organ, could be
a liver, could be a kidney.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I would be good. Yeah, you're right there. My first
Valentine's Day with this girl I was dating who is
now my wife of the last don't get this wrong.
Twenty two years first Valentine's Day, she knew I really
liked ice cream, so she got me some Rocky Road
Explosion ice cream, marshmallows and nuts and like double fudge
(14:57):
chocolate and and I was like, oh, this, thank you
so much, This is really really nice. And then finally
later that year I admitted because I thought like, oh,
she's gonna get me this ice cream all the time.
I don't like that. I'm just more simple. I like
little vanilla ice cream with some chocolate syrup on it.
And yeah, that's that's fine. So I told her. She
and every she's always said that, like, and I gave
(15:18):
you that horrible ice cream. It's like no, no, no, no, no,
it was The gesture was so sweet. It was so sweet.
But yeah, you can be upfront and say, yeah, you
don't have to spend a bunch of money on flowers.
We don't have to go anywhere. Some years we feel
like going somewhere. Some years we feel like staying home.
But I always try and do something special for Valentine's Day.
And that's your brog right, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
If it's your thing and you actually genuinely enjoy it,
then go talk me out, go for it, right. I'm
just saying, if you're on the fence, or if you've
always felt like why, if you ever you're asking the
question why am I doing this? And this applies to
anything in life, why am I doing this? And if
their answer is I don't know, this is what we've
always done, then that's a dumb answer and you should
just rethink it, ask questions, question.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Everything, man, the government and Valentine's Day. Are you sure
you're not soured on Valentine's Day because and I won't
bring this up constantly, but it's the first Valentine's Day
since the.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Technically it's not the second technically, But no, that's not
it's not. We never celebrated like Valentine's Day like a
big thing anyhow. I mean, it's it's such a hassle, like, Okay,
you don't go out to dinner, like every freaking place
is booked, and then you do not go to dinner.
You get a reservation and you're sitting there shoulder to
shoulder with you know, one hundred other smelly, sweaty despert people.
And it's like in Scott too, I see how I
(16:30):
left you out of that group?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, because Scott hasn't been eating as much ice cream
laming myself, yeah, with his ice cream. But no, we
we never celebrate. It was never a thing. And so
it's not that for me. I've got weird views on everything,
like marriage, relationships, like all of this stuff. I am
not the norm. But I'm happy to be the first
one to plant the flag of no VD for me,
(16:53):
so or Valentine's Day way, I didn't really think that out.
That's bad marketing, that's bad bar dang it. I didn't
even realize that that's going to make a song that
is no VD, no Valentine's Day. That's what I meant
for me, Okay for this guy.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Valentine's Day is here for those of us who choose
to celebrate it. Just this all sounds horrible coming from
the guy that came on here and sang a very
romantic song, probably the most romantic song I've ever heard,
and I believe part of it was directed to Lucy Chapman.
It was this was This was from June of two
(17:26):
thousand and ten, and we'll hear this performance and talk
more with Matt Tompkins next. Scott Fordies news Radio eleven
ten k FA on this Valentine's Day. I'm Scott Vorhees
here with Lucy Chapman on news radio eleven ten KFAB.
Matt Tompkins here as well. Matt is not a fan
(17:48):
of Valentine's Day, but Matt, as I told you, this
surprises me because it was June eleventh, twenty ten. Songs
for Giants by Matt and Ben was just being released,
and you came on the show and you sang the
most tender love song anyone has ever heard. Lucy Chapman,
(18:09):
this goes out to you.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
We've been spending a lot of time together lately, but
I want you to know one thing will.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean, that's just not a lot of people do that.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I guess the only Deep Space nine reference in a
in a song there, so I forgot we.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Even did that, probably right, Yeah, that is Matt Tompkins
of Matt and Ben from the archives. June of twenty ten,
Songs for Giants was just being released and sold literally
singles and singles of.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
No copies were sold. I gave away. I have two
thousand copies. If you have it, if you own a
CD player, I want to get rid of these. Actually
you can find the whole album. And I don't know
how this even got on these platforms because I don't
remember uploading it. Granted, I I was a little and
I was going through a phase back then where I
don't remember a lot that was happening in my life.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Posting this to Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora or Amazon Music.
But this entire album, Songs for Giants is available in
its entire I think one of the platforms may not
have all the songs, but I know like Apple Music
has the entire thing.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I'm looking looking for it right here. Yeah, it's on iTunes. Yeah,
it's it's it's it's crazy. I don't know how it
got up. Here's the big question I want to know is, yeah,
had just made.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Any money because who knows, maybe we uploaded it, we
forgot our login information.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I don't know what's going on. Do they owe me
like three dollars and seventy eight cents? It has one review,
but that review is five stars. Oh that's good? Right?
Is that good? How many starts out of one hundred stars?
Dang it? D it? Lucy?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Did the song work the second time around? I know
it did the first I remember what happened.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
After we say wait, wait what she said? Thank you?
She said, you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I honestly, I honestly don't even know if I'm living
in a parallel universe how somebody would forget a song
like that. I kind of remember it, but I don't
remember remember it exactly, and I'm I don't know how
I could possibly forget it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
For everybody I think I remember. But the thing maybe
like Lucy never remembers anything, which is always great because
I can always start any segment by saying, Lucy, I
ever tell you the story about And it's always no,
and she feigns interest. It's never like, yeah, you tell
me that story every other Thursday. You know, It's it's
never that, So it's it's fantastic. But what what thing
(23:55):
gets me about that is that doesn't seem like it
was fifteen years ago. That seems like it was maybe
fifteen months ago.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, it was great, love it it was, but it
was good, and I would I mean the album. And
I'm not just saying this. I don't make any money
off of it because I don't know how I got
up on these platforms. So I'm not doing this to
sell it at all. But I think it's free. I
think you can just listen to it.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
But listen to it. It's actually if you like, buy
it on iTunes and see if you get paid. People
buy it on iTunes and you don't get paid.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
It's probably under my original email I got. My identity
got stolen a couple of years ago, and I had
to go through the whole thing, and I saw the
first three email addresses I ever used, Beefy chips Man
at AOL, that was you dot com, that was me.
So I think maybe my Beefie Chipsman at AOL dot
com may have been the email address I used.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I don't even know what the login is for a
lot of a lot of girls, or if you like,
if you like Adam Sandler, you like Flight of the Concords,
you like even like nineteen seventies, like a Saturday night
live radio show, like because this whole album was structured
as like a concept, but you listen to the whole thing,
it takes about an hour.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I mean, remember the old Razzle Dazzle Gentleman's Club, and
I use that term very you loosely gentlemen in Kelsos.
We did a whole jingle for them, and we wrote
it and then we played it on the air, and
then they they threaten to sue us, and then we
had we made it. We were not complimentary, Oh we
were not compliment.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
But no, it was it was honest, and I hope
they appreciated the attempt at honest.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
We we also plugged Denny's things happening behind Denny's next
to the Razzle Dazzle back then in the in the alley,
and Denny's didn't complain once they just owned it.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
They're like, you know what, Yeah, that's what happens back here.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
No such thing as bad publicity.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
No, And I'm I'm looking right now for the the
old Spearmint Rhino oh, that was a hippo. That's the
name of the place, right, Peppermint Hippo was Peppermint Hippo. Yeah,
the Spearmint Rhino is the real one, which says an
interesting name for a place like that. My very first.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Radio bit ever, by the way, it was on Valentine's Day,
and I remember this. During the break, Gary Gary Saddlemayer.
He says, Math, you know we're gonna have your crime
in here, and he does bad. Okay, your lance? Was
it lance romance? Your lance romance? And so I wrote
this on I like, typed it out, printed it off,
and I had like two copies in case I lost
when I was so nervous, and I remember my dad.
(26:15):
This was like I was still mat the intern. My
dad had ri had to drive me down because I
didn't have a vehicle for some reason. At the time.
I was living in my parents, as I still do.
I'm a loser anyhow, but I was. My dad drove
me down. I'm all nervous, I'm like rehearsing this thing,
and I get on the mic and Jim Rose is
sitting here just staring me down with these you've seen
his eyes. The guy's intimidating Jim. You know, people think
he's all nice and mister sports guy, but he man,
(26:35):
he can stare you down.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
And then Gary, he just tosses it to me, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
And then we played the Love's theme that that loves
the and I started going, I'm maybe one of the
few times I've been.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Legit, just terrified, nervous.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
But then you know, you get the first laugh from
Gary and it's like this weird uh validation. It's like
this the fatherly approval of all right, all right. But
that was my very first bit. I just remember that
sitting here on this day twenty one years ago.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Twenty years ago, and that's why we had you back
here to relive all Do you remember, No, I don't.
I was in Kansas City, but I wanted to talk
more Valentine's Day here I canna help or well, you're
gonna by waiting there one more segment, We're gonna do this,
and then Scott Voice Matt Tompkins in the studio with
us here for a few more minutes. Matt of Matt
(27:24):
and Ben Fame Radio TV Multimedia, two brothers creative website
again before I forget.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
The content box dot Com the content box dot com
and I am an entrepreneurial shipper.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I don't know. Why is the entrepreneur yole ship even word?
I don't know. Let's let's focus on valance. Let's do
thats crack there? Best? Well if you, if you feel
comfortable answering these questions, we best, best kiss you ever had?
Best kiss? Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Well, I don't know, because that's all right. Well, I
hear you're setting me up. Come here some failure?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh, is it's the one yet to come with you?
What about? God? Well, I thought it was a good move.
I'm not gonna lie. I have a little over clymped. Yeah, usually,
what's that like? Myers?
Speaker 10 (28:13):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Discuss discuss the topic. I'm but clymped. Worst kiss you
ever had? Worst kiss? My first kiss?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I bit the girl's lip, Carly Krompko is her name
in Saint Joe, Missouri, up in a treehouse, I think
seventh or eighth grade, and I went into hard aggressively
and I.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Bit her lip. You initiated it? Well, yeah, everyone's pressuring me.
It was a lot of peer pressure. You know, she's
my guz back.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
When you have a girlfriend, you didn't have to kiss
you could just hang out and you know, and then
but then she, you know, she went and made out
with my best friend. I bought her a ring from Claire's,
her her finger green, and I tried to keep telling
her it was my great great aunts, like Antique Julie.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It just it didn't end well, Damn you, Carly, I'm killed.
Don't see where it's her fault. Now, So you thought
you're gonna lead with teeth, You're gonna bite, You're gonna
bite this girl.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Here's the thing, like, apparently we we don't we're not
really educated about anything in the world of romance or
intimacy or kissing.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Like it's just at least kids today have the Internet.
I mean, maybe I could have learned.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I could have maybe my twenties wouldn't have been just
a terrifying, just terrifying array of me. Following the example
of thirty five year old construction workers with you know,
four ex wives and ten child support payments a month
who looked like they were like seventy five telling me,
you know, stay away from women is bad.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I was sixteen or seventeen, and I had a chance
to kiss a girl who had just polished off a
bag of funions of pork rinds and also smoked a
few cigarettes. Oh it was terrible, and I was so
happy to be there. I didn't care. Yeah, I smoking.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I used to smoke too, And I don't know how, Like,
I don't know how people put up with me such
a terrible odor?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, yeah, how do people put up with you?
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Now?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
You talked about being out there, you know, dating and
all that stuff you're on the the innerwebs, the apps,
all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest, I'm not really out
there dating like I. I like to keep my like
PL private life.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
That's what that stands. We're losing. Ice came up with that.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I'd like to keep up PL on the d L
that's a download. That's what outstands for FR.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I did not just come up with that, Ye, dl
PL on the d p L on the DL I do.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I like, I'm not big on that, but I have
an honestly been d like to be honest with you
the last year in my year plus in my life
year and a half, have it will be I say
that bold statement a Netflix docuseries someday. I mean we're talking.
It's got every element of a surprise, you know, the
first post long relationship dating experiment. Turns out she's only
(30:40):
fans and a professional sex worker and conning you out
of fifty thousand plus dollars. I mean, it's just like
everything that could you could do wrong. I am a
happened to you.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yes, it did. Did you ever meet this girl in
person or only via?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Is that why you're broke?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yes, that's why I'm on this show selling. I need
the money now. She this is true. She left me
standing in front of a Noodles in company in the
middle of Utah, with all of my belongings stuffed into
two giant suitcases and a giant women's size handbag that,
for whatever reason, she was arguing with me the whole
time that it was not a women's handbag, its unisex.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
It could be either sex if you wanted it to be.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
She drove off in a brand new Shebrew sol Tear
electric vehicle I had just put eleven four hundred dollars
down on four days earlier, and rolled down a window
and waved said I love you, as if she forgot
to say that, because she did, and then she proceeded
to go off on a two day date with her
top client, a dentist out of New York City, and
(31:42):
that was the day after Christmas.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Wow, I apologize when you earlier were saying, you know what,
forget Valentine's Day, I'm not into it. And I was like, oh,
come on, after what you've been through. Well that yeah,
it was.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah. So I had like, you make mistakes. That's my
biggest lesson here. I'm gonna tell you if you're in
a long relationship, or even if you're just in your
you're dating for the first time or anything, you're gonna
make mistakes.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
So like walk into with your eyes wide open.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Like that's the thing is, adults, we walk into this,
you know, in you're your forties or fifties, however old
you may be, and you find yourself trying to date
or find people.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
First.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
What I've discovered you have to work on you first,
because you're gonna attract whatever energy you're putting out.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
The truth is, Scott, I was.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Just as broken as this crazy blue haired Brazilian model
from Utah. So I made mistakes. I made a lot
of mistakes. And I heard people along the way and
myself probably most at the most at the top of
that list.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
So I've learned a lot.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
So I after that, I said, you know, I'm not
going to rush into like dating like, I need to
work on me. I've got a three year plan. There's
a journal involved, stickers, lots of stickers involved in this
junk journally. My point is, work on you first. Become
the one you're seeking, Like, don't look for the one
to complete you.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You can you are the one. You can't like someone
else until you like you. That is the message here
from absolutely Matt Tompkins.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
And you might not end up wanting to be with
anybody else but yourself.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
And I'm pretty sure every place, every strip mall where
it says massage and the windows are like blocked off,
that that's for like, you know, if you are lonely,
it'd be a lot cheaper. He just stayed, and I
think that's what that means. That's the sign, the signal
they're thrown out, Matt, uh.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Wow that note. Wow. Okay, thank you very much for
all of that. It's a pleasure hanging out with you.
Thanks a lot for coming back on KFAB. It's been
too long. We'll do it again soon, all right. I

Speaker 2 (00:34):
This is where I got my start, you know, this
is where it all began. And so I blame you
number one.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I wasn't here yet when you started. You got here
via Tom Becka and stayed anyway. And Gary Matthew, Matthew
matt not good. Yes, it is supposed to be here
and not here.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You didn't mention all the other my other failings that
like nobody even knows about too.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You missed the mention the success stories.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
But there's been a lot of I still host radio
shows by myself. They don't broadcast anywhere, but I'm proud
of the work. In the car every day from four.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
To seven, I do an afternoon drive show. Yeah, you know,
driving around town.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'm driving at home, driving at home, we close out
the day just you know, you have.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Something they do in traffic, because you know I could
maybe step in there a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Usually I would love that. That would be great. Matt
Tompkins is the host of Muttering to Myself with Matt Tompkins.
It's on a sporadic times, sometimes in the middle of
the night. The slogan is I love to hear the
sound of my own voice. How about you? It's no.
I think it's really fun to have you back here
on kfa B. How long has it been since you've
(01:42):
been on our station. You did some stuff on Tom's show,
You hung out on this show. I've got a song
that you and Ben did live on my show. I'm
going to play at some point here, the Valentine's Son.
I think it's one of the greatest love songs of
all time. Oh, yes, you guys did a weekend show.
You were on Saturday The Weekly ten with Matt and Benn.
(02:02):
We tried to rhyme everything. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You gotta be a rhyme source these days. Yeah, you know,
it's marketing one on one folks. Yeah, but I started
a December of two thousand and fours when I started
as Matt the Intern, which I still get called Matt
the Intern. Our friend Subway Jay, who was here back
in the day if you remember a long you know,
longtime listeners, he gave me that nickname, and I work
with him now every day he works with my company,
(02:24):
and he still has me in his phone.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Is Matt the Intern? Yes? And then you're still in
my phone a subway subway? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Which that's you know, talk about nicknames to get for
like radio names, right, that was one.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Well that was an easy one. His name is Jared.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, I know, but I'm saying, look what happened to
the real subway Jared? Do you want to be named after,
you know, when Matt.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
News broke you. Yeah, you can go by Jared or
Jay or something like that. But think about being grol
Omaha co host Jeff Biels. For a long time, it
was kind of like, hey, you look like the guy
from the subway commercials?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
How about wait? I didn't think about that, right, and
then as he's picked up by international authorities and suddenly
it's like, ah, you look like the guy from the
subway commercials. Yeah, Jeff has been doing a lot of
plastic surgery to get away from that. Yeah, and just
a great guy.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I love Jeff and he is I am totally sucking
up to him because he is connected to businesses.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And I need money. I need money. Yes, we need
new business, come on note. But I didn't even think
about that. You're right. I was reminded last night.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I was at this networking event and a woman remembered
in Ahia Live and it's rare that that happens most people.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
When they watched this show. It aired midnight after SNL.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
They were followed. They fell asleep during SNL. They woke
up in the middle of our show and wondered, what
in the hell is happening?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Is?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
When did SNL go downhill? Like what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And so she was pulling up the YouTube channel and
then every video she was trying to find me, but
she couldn't recognize me because back then I was about
forty bounds heavier, I was pale, I was not taking
good care of myself, and I'm like, that's me. She
look at it point, that's not you. You know, you
kind of look like that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Adam.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Adam knows everything. Remember that show, Adam, he had the glasses.
I got recognized by him all the time. I've never
had someone argue.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
By people who know who this very less known person is. Yeah,
but it was it was weird. I was having to
argue with this woman who just met that that was me.
So it was like, you get recognized, but then you
don't get credit for the recognition. Who I know how
that is? I get recognized for Denzel a lot, and
I'm sure he does me too.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
The wait, are we talking Denzel from like down the
street and Benson or are we talking Denzel like the
big Denzel.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I've only heard Denzel. I don't know who it is. Okay,
it could be either your TV show, Omaha Live. I
had a chance to do some filming stuff with you,
and it usually started off with we don't have permission
to do this, but and then we would just you know,
do whatever. Yeah, a lot of gorilla filming. You know,
it was really good stuff here. But since then, two
(04:56):
brothers creative a great marketing affirm here the community. Do
you a plug for that? Before we move on to
the topic at hand.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You know, you give us thirty minutes, We'll give you
thirty days. Of content folks, the ContentBox dot com. Check

Speaker 1 (05:15):
You know. Excellent. I'm not a celebrity like you anymore.
And uh and yes, I'm a huge celebrity. Thank you
for the recognition. Where does one find you online?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yes, the ContentBox dot com, The ContentBox dot com. And
then of course you can find our handles at your
Brothers Creative. I'm on the socials, you know. Just search

Speaker 1 (05:35):
All right, that's Matt laughing, Matt Tompkins.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I'm just going along with the show. Listening.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well, I wanted to. I wanted to convene this cabal
here on this very romantic day because when I think romance,
I think Matt, I think Lucy. Certainly my being the
ultimate love daddy. This is this is a good match here.
But I wanted to to bring you in here because
there's a sad tinge on this Valentine's Day, sad. And
(06:05):
it occurred to me, well, I don't know, it occurred
to me that there are probably several people for whom
this is the first Valentine's Day where they've they're at
this same status, or they've been through this recently or
will be in a year from now, since everyone's on
ozepic and they're losing a bunch of weight to get
rid of you, and then then they move on with
their lives. So this status is yeah, they how do
(06:28):
you approach.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Valentine's Day when you are especially midlife? You know, I
just turned forty four, right, so still in your demo?
I think, right, yes, yes, all right, yeah, see look
at me, look at me. I still know things. And
you're you're newly single and you're in this new digital
world where you're on the dating apps. You don't know
how to take a selfie appropriately, you don't know what
to put in your bio from the waist up. I think,
(06:51):
is they opposed to I would be happy to share
some practical tips today. And this is no joke. I
mean we're kidding, but like this is. I go on
dating apps and I have for years. Simply maybe that's
why I'm single. No, simply because of how entertaining they are,
how bad people are like putting themselves out there in
the best light. Can I share one quick example of
(07:12):
this woman from Valentine or undisclosed location, sorry, this woman
from a small town Nebraska. And she started off with unflattering,
low angle selfie at work in her scrubs, and then
she started off as saying, if you don't have a
big just don't keep reading. Obviously I kept reading. So
then the next line was, I am not here to
(07:36):
be anybody's sugar baby. I am a fifty two year
old single mother of four and I work sixty hours
a week. Now, obviously the news has not gotten to Valentine,
Nebraska because I don't think she knows what a sugar
baby is. I don't think I know what a sugar Okay,
so this would be like a younger attractive woman who
has an arrangement or is dating like an older gentleman,
(07:58):
this sugar daddy baby. Yes, it's it's like a thing,
and some.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Of it some of it's overt, some of it's coverts.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know, there's there's services out there, websites, some kinds
of stuff, but you gotta.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Be honest, You got to be upfront about what you want.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I don't think there are a lot of like wealthy,
multimillionaire older men who are seeking out the company of
a fifty two year old single mother of four.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Maybe they should, but maybe I don't know. It doesn't
it doesn't fit the stereotypical profile of a sugar baby. Yeah,
the crew. Usually you're looking for someone younger, less tethered,
who's just up for partying a good time, about sixty
hour work weeks. Uh, but you know, people are living longer.
So maybe someone in there, you know, mid one hundred
and teens is thinking, well, this is exactly what I want,
(08:40):
and I hope that they find each other. How you
didn't swipe left or right or there was a swipe left.
There's a swipe left on that one. I don't know
how it works.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I yeah, swipe right is let's do it. Let's let's talk.
That sounded dirty. Yeah, let's like, you know, do the
dating thing. Let's communicate and then if you match, you
can you can talk with with people you know you
have You've got Tinder, which is kind of a little
bit of a dumpster fire hinges more for like where
we might actually meet someone that's normal, and then you
have like bumble grinder is one I've heard about. I
haven't tried that one out yet, but I don't know.
(09:10):
I've heard that that one might be for like a
selectric group of individual. Lucy's looking at me like she
gets the joke. Now, Grinder would be like men seeking man.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I believe in taking man.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So not which is fine, it's just not That's not
where I go to. That's not what I'm seeking, all Right.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I have you've been through most of the women, so
let's not roll out either another gender or species at
this point.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Species, I have that covered. I was abducted by aliens.
That was a heck of a night. That was a
good time.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Matt Thompkins, here can I can I come back here
in just a moment on this this newly single stage,
your first Valentine's Day in a long time being a single.
Let's I want to try and pierce through your soul,
your your your hard, crusty exterior here and see if
there's any kind of soul in there because this this
kind of emotion. I want to get you to cry.
(09:59):
I want to out of tears because this this might
be something that some people are dealing with this Valentine's
Day is we want to address that with Matt Tompkins. Next,
Matt Tompkins is here not being streamed, and no offense
that you mad of Matt and Ben radio on multimedia.
Get bit out of here. Okay, let's get Ben all right.
(10:20):
I'm tired of ride on his coach for Ben to
show up.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
He's teaching high school English at Bennington High School. He's
living his best life. He's got a baby named Gus.
I'm an uncle.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now, you know, I got to start acting like an adult.
Not let's let's wait until after the show. So we
mentioned a moment ago. This is your first Valentine's Day
in a long time, since you've been a single guy
now and you're early to mid forties. It's is this,
(10:50):
I mean, what are we thinking here today? Oh I'll
tell you this. Listen. I'm a little unique. You both.
It's the understatement of the world. Why you're here.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I have always despised Valentine's Day. So here's my thing.
Here's one of my weird proclivities. Is that what it
is is that the word tell me what it is.
You know English better than me. It's not my fourth language,
you know, that's not wasn't born here. So I love
giving people greeting cards. I love giving people greeting cards.
And I have a kind of an addiction to green cards.
(11:21):
So I'll go to the greening card. I'll I know
the brands. I know, Proprius, Hallmark, I can tell you
a signature.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I know. These cards are.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I love giving cards to not just like people I know,
but like literal strangers. I'll put cards with like I'll
slip like a fifty dollar bill or a hundred dollars bill,
and I'll just leave it anonymous, slip it underneath the
door of the big co working building.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I got an office.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
That's why you don't have any money?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That's probably why.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, that, and yeah, and then the women thing. But no, no,
I do that because then I imagine in my head
this person walks out of their office door and they
don't know who anybody in this building could have given
me this card, and it just changes their whole perception.
I'm cheesy like that. I love giving greeting cards. Soalentine's
Day to me, it's a double edged sword. Yes, the
cards are amazing. I buy a bunch of them. I
(12:05):
cross out Valentine's and I write Tuesday, you know, like
that's that's my That's how I roll.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I feel.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It is it is a fake, made up holiday to
get more money out of us.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's a it's a squeeze right after Christmas and.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
New Year's and then of course my birthday, which on
I E already celebrates on February fourth. Every birthday, I
just thank you, thank you, I'm glad you remembered. But
for me, I think you should do gifts and loving
gestures every day except Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is the
one day where it's so fake and manufactured. So today, honestly,
I feel the same level of just discussed towards Valentine's
(12:41):
Day as I have my entire life.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Do you watch football? You're a football fan?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Sometimes I didn't watch any of the Super Bowl, so
that pray tells me where I'm at on the footballs.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Well, my analogy be better if you could just say, yeah,
I know it's football ball, I can I can run
scratching the guys that usually say what you just said.
I always say do you watch football? And they say yeah, yeah,
And I said, did you watch Super Bowl? Yeah? Why
you watch football all the rest of the year, all
the rest of the season. Why do you need to
show that you're a football fan? By watching the super Bowl.
(13:11):
Valentine's Day is the super Bowl of romance. It's the
super Bowl of love. It's as commercialized as you make it.
And you should do something special. It doesn't have to
be go spend a bunch of money, it doesn't have
to be fight the crowds to get a reservation somewhere.
Just something unique and special, just to let that special
someone say hey, you're a special lady. And I noticed
(13:33):
here here's where you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That analogy would be apropos would be perfect if you
took all the meaning out of the super Bowl. If
you said, hey, at World, and we want you all
to tune in for this special game that is a
scrimmage that means nothing, and it's gonna cost you money
because you have to pay for it via pay per view.
You know you can't get away with Valentine's Day just
for free. I mean, yeah, you can do homemade cards,
I guess, but I mean she's not gonna you know,
(13:57):
nobody's gonna like that to trust me. I know the cards.
Remember we just had this conversation. So yes, if you're
in a relationship, in a marriage, especially for a long time,
you have to do something for Valentine's.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Skip to I get to I'm so excited to do
something specially. Have we ever asked each other like.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Do you really want something? On von Valentine's They do
you really want me to get you a box full
of random chocolate? Of those chocolates in that heart box
are terrible. There's only like one caramel one that I like.
And I had to hunt through all the coconut ones
and the weird ones, the pecans. No, no, just give
me a box full of caramel covered chocolates. And it
doesn't have to be in the shape of a heart.
(14:33):
Could be any ship, could be any organ, could be
a liver, could be a kidney.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I would be good. Yeah, you're right there. My first
Valentine's Day with this girl I was dating who is
now my wife of the last don't get this wrong.
Twenty two years first Valentine's Day, she knew I really
liked ice cream, so she got me some Rocky Road
Explosion ice cream, marshmallows and nuts and like double fudge
(14:57):
chocolate and and I was like, oh, this, thank you
so much, This is really really nice. And then finally
later that year I admitted because I thought like, oh,
she's gonna get me this ice cream all the time.
I don't like that. I'm just more simple. I like
little vanilla ice cream with some chocolate syrup on it.
And yeah, that's that's fine. So I told her. She
and every she's always said that, like, and I gave
(15:18):
you that horrible ice cream. It's like no, no, no, no, no,
it was The gesture was so sweet. It was so sweet.
But yeah, you can be upfront and say, yeah, you
don't have to spend a bunch of money on flowers.
We don't have to go anywhere. Some years we feel
like going somewhere. Some years we feel like staying home.
But I always try and do something special for Valentine's Day.
And that's your brog right, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
If it's your thing and you actually genuinely enjoy it,
then go talk me out, go for it, right. I'm
just saying, if you're on the fence, or if you've
always felt like why, if you ever you're asking the
question why am I doing this? And this applies to
anything in life, why am I doing this? And if
their answer is I don't know, this is what we've
always done, then that's a dumb answer and you should
just rethink it, ask questions, question.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Everything, man, the government and Valentine's Day. Are you sure
you're not soured on Valentine's Day because and I won't
bring this up constantly, but it's the first Valentine's Day
since the.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Technically it's not the second technically, But no, that's not
it's not. We never celebrated like Valentine's Day like a
big thing anyhow. I mean, it's it's such a hassle, like, Okay,
you don't go out to dinner, like every freaking place
is booked, and then you do not go to dinner.
You get a reservation and you're sitting there shoulder to
shoulder with you know, one hundred other smelly, sweaty despert people.
And it's like in Scott too, I see how I
(16:30):
left you out of that group?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, because Scott hasn't been eating as much ice cream
laming myself, yeah, with his ice cream. But no, we
we never celebrate. It was never a thing. And so
it's not that for me. I've got weird views on everything,
like marriage, relationships, like all of this stuff. I am
not the norm. But I'm happy to be the first
one to plant the flag of no VD for me,
(16:53):
so or Valentine's Day way, I didn't really think that out.
That's bad marketing, that's bad bar dang it. I didn't
even realize that that's going to make a song that
is no VD, no Valentine's Day. That's what I meant
for me, Okay for this guy.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Valentine's Day is here for those of us who choose
to celebrate it. Just this all sounds horrible coming from
the guy that came on here and sang a very
romantic song, probably the most romantic song I've ever heard,
and I believe part of it was directed to Lucy Chapman.
It was this was This was from June of two
(17:26):
thousand and ten, and we'll hear this performance and talk
more with Matt Tompkins next. Scott Fordies news Radio eleven
ten k FA on this Valentine's Day. I'm Scott Vorhees
here with Lucy Chapman on news radio eleven ten KFAB.
Matt Tompkins here as well. Matt is not a fan
(17:48):
of Valentine's Day, but Matt, as I told you, this
surprises me because it was June eleventh, twenty ten. Songs
for Giants by Matt and Ben was just being released,
and you came on the show and you sang the
most tender love song anyone has ever heard. Lucy Chapman,
(18:09):
this goes out to you.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
We've been spending a lot of time together lately, but
I want you to know one thing will.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
At least I think they are. I don't really remember
that much.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Your hair smells like something that I can't define. Oh, Lucy,
don't you wish that you were mine? Your hands are
strong like the incredible Hulk. I date like Sam's Club

time with your family. Well, I said I'd have a
threesome with your sister. But you didn't want that, now
did you know?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
She did?
Speaker 9 (20:39):
And girl, remember that time you were feeling all down
and blue.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well I left you all alone.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
And went out to the club because I knew you
needed time alone.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And girl, you remember that first time we met. Well, good,
maybe you can tell me about it. As long as
it's a Monday after night.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
So girl, let's get comfortable and take off all our clothes.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Actually, why don't you leave your clothes on? I looked
a good naked.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Oh girl, every day if it's a Monday after nine,
I wanna be with you girl, every day.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Every day.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
If it's Monday after nine, I wanna be with you
girl every day.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
If it's a Monday.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
After nine, wee can watch TV like reruns of Star Trek,
Dinect Generation, all the original series, Deep Space Night.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
There we go over that beautiful That is so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I have to applaud myself for incorporating a deep Space
hands a Deep Space nine reference into a song.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean, that's just not a lot of people do that.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I guess the only Deep Space nine reference in a
in a song there, so I forgot we.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Even did that, probably right, Yeah, that is Matt Tompkins
of Matt and Ben from the archives. June of twenty ten,
Songs for Giants was just being released and sold literally
singles and singles of.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
No copies were sold. I gave away. I have two
thousand copies. If you have it, if you own a
CD player, I want to get rid of these. Actually
you can find the whole album. And I don't know
how this even got on these platforms because I don't
remember uploading it. Granted, I I was a little and
I was going through a phase back then where I
don't remember a lot that was happening in my life.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Posting this to Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora or Amazon Music.
But this entire album, Songs for Giants is available in
its entire I think one of the platforms may not
have all the songs, but I know like Apple Music
has the entire thing.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I'm looking looking for it right here. Yeah, it's on iTunes. Yeah,
it's it's it's it's crazy. I don't know how it
got up. Here's the big question I want to know is, yeah,
had just made.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Any money because who knows, maybe we uploaded it, we
forgot our login information.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I don't know what's going on. Do they owe me
like three dollars and seventy eight cents? It has one review,
but that review is five stars. Oh that's good? Right?
Is that good? How many starts out of one hundred stars?
Dang it? D it? Lucy?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Did the song work the second time around? I know
it did the first I remember what happened.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
After we say wait, wait what she said? Thank you?
She said, you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I honestly, I honestly don't even know if I'm living
in a parallel universe how somebody would forget a song
like that. I kind of remember it, but I don't
remember remember it exactly, and I'm I don't know how
I could possibly forget it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
For everybody I think I remember. But the thing maybe
like Lucy never remembers anything, which is always great because
I can always start any segment by saying, Lucy, I
ever tell you the story about And it's always no,
and she feigns interest. It's never like, yeah, you tell
me that story every other Thursday. You know, It's it's
never that, So it's it's fantastic. But what what thing
(23:55):
gets me about that is that doesn't seem like it
was fifteen years ago. That seems like it was maybe
fifteen months ago.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, it was great, love it it was, but it
was good, and I would I mean the album. And
I'm not just saying this. I don't make any money
off of it because I don't know how I got
up on these platforms. So I'm not doing this to
sell it at all. But I think it's free. I
think you can just listen to it.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
But listen to it. It's actually if you like, buy
it on iTunes and see if you get paid. People
buy it on iTunes and you don't get paid.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
It's probably under my original email I got. My identity
got stolen a couple of years ago, and I had
to go through the whole thing, and I saw the
first three email addresses I ever used, Beefy chips Man
at AOL, that was you dot com, that was me.
So I think maybe my Beefie Chipsman at AOL dot
com may have been the email address I used.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I don't even know what the login is for a
lot of a lot of girls, or if you like,
if you like Adam Sandler, you like Flight of the Concords,
you like even like nineteen seventies, like a Saturday night
live radio show, like because this whole album was structured
as like a concept, but you listen to the whole thing,
it takes about an hour.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I mean, remember the old Razzle Dazzle Gentleman's Club, and
I use that term very you loosely gentlemen in Kelsos.
We did a whole jingle for them, and we wrote
it and then we played it on the air, and
then they they threaten to sue us, and then we
had we made it. We were not complimentary, Oh we
were not compliment.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
But no, it was it was honest, and I hope
they appreciated the attempt at honest.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
We we also plugged Denny's things happening behind Denny's next
to the Razzle Dazzle back then in the in the alley,
and Denny's didn't complain once they just owned it.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
They're like, you know what, Yeah, that's what happens back here.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
No such thing as bad publicity.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
No, And I'm I'm looking right now for the the
old Spearmint Rhino oh, that was a hippo. That's the
name of the place, right, Peppermint Hippo was Peppermint Hippo. Yeah,
the Spearmint Rhino is the real one, which says an
interesting name for a place like that. My very first.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Radio bit ever, by the way, it was on Valentine's Day,
and I remember this. During the break, Gary Gary Saddlemayer.
He says, Math, you know we're gonna have your crime
in here, and he does bad. Okay, your lance? Was
it lance romance? Your lance romance? And so I wrote
this on I like, typed it out, printed it off,
and I had like two copies in case I lost
when I was so nervous, and I remember my dad.
(26:15):
This was like I was still mat the intern. My
dad had ri had to drive me down because I
didn't have a vehicle for some reason. At the time.
I was living in my parents, as I still do.
I'm a loser anyhow, but I was. My dad drove
me down. I'm all nervous, I'm like rehearsing this thing,
and I get on the mic and Jim Rose is
sitting here just staring me down with these you've seen
his eyes. The guy's intimidating Jim. You know, people think
he's all nice and mister sports guy, but he man,
(26:35):
he can stare you down.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
And then Gary, he just tosses it to me, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
And then we played the Love's theme that that loves
the and I started going, I'm maybe one of the
few times I've been.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Legit, just terrified, nervous.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
But then you know, you get the first laugh from
Gary and it's like this weird uh validation. It's like
this the fatherly approval of all right, all right. But
that was my very first bit. I just remember that
sitting here on this day twenty one years ago.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Twenty years ago, and that's why we had you back
here to relive all Do you remember, No, I don't.
I was in Kansas City, but I wanted to talk
more Valentine's Day here I canna help or well, you're
gonna by waiting there one more segment, We're gonna do this,
and then Scott Voice Matt Tompkins in the studio with
us here for a few more minutes. Matt of Matt
(27:24):
and Ben Fame Radio TV Multimedia, two brothers creative website
again before I forget.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
The content box dot Com the content box dot com
and I am an entrepreneurial shipper.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I don't know. Why is the entrepreneur yole ship even word?
I don't know. Let's let's focus on valance. Let's do
thats crack there? Best? Well if you, if you feel
comfortable answering these questions, we best, best kiss you ever had?
Best kiss? Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Well, I don't know, because that's all right. Well, I
hear you're setting me up. Come here some failure?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh, is it's the one yet to come with you?
What about? God? Well, I thought it was a good move.
I'm not gonna lie. I have a little over clymped. Yeah, usually,
what's that like? Myers?
Speaker 10 (28:13):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Discuss discuss the topic. I'm but clymped. Worst kiss you
ever had? Worst kiss? My first kiss?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I bit the girl's lip, Carly Krompko is her name
in Saint Joe, Missouri, up in a treehouse, I think
seventh or eighth grade, and I went into hard aggressively
and I.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Bit her lip. You initiated it? Well, yeah, everyone's pressuring me.
It was a lot of peer pressure. You know, she's
my guz back.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
When you have a girlfriend, you didn't have to kiss
you could just hang out and you know, and then
but then she, you know, she went and made out
with my best friend. I bought her a ring from Claire's,
her her finger green, and I tried to keep telling
her it was my great great aunts, like Antique Julie.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It just it didn't end well, Damn you, Carly, I'm killed.
Don't see where it's her fault. Now, So you thought
you're gonna lead with teeth, You're gonna bite, You're gonna
bite this girl.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Here's the thing, like, apparently we we don't we're not
really educated about anything in the world of romance or
intimacy or kissing.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Like it's just at least kids today have the Internet.
I mean, maybe I could have learned.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I could have maybe my twenties wouldn't have been just
a terrifying, just terrifying array of me. Following the example
of thirty five year old construction workers with you know,
four ex wives and ten child support payments a month
who looked like they were like seventy five telling me,
you know, stay away from women is bad.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I was sixteen or seventeen, and I had a chance
to kiss a girl who had just polished off a
bag of funions of pork rinds and also smoked a
few cigarettes. Oh it was terrible, and I was so
happy to be there. I didn't care. Yeah, I smoking.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I used to smoke too, And I don't know how, Like,
I don't know how people put up with me such
a terrible odor?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, yeah, how do people put up with you?
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Now?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
You talked about being out there, you know, dating and
all that stuff you're on the the innerwebs, the apps,
all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest, I'm not really out
there dating like I. I like to keep my like
PL private life.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
That's what that stands. We're losing. Ice came up with that.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I'd like to keep up PL on the d L
that's a download. That's what outstands for FR.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I did not just come up with that, Ye, dl
PL on the d p L on the DL I do.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I like, I'm not big on that, but I have
an honestly been d like to be honest with you
the last year in my year plus in my life
year and a half, have it will be I say
that bold statement a Netflix docuseries someday. I mean we're talking.
It's got every element of a surprise, you know, the
first post long relationship dating experiment. Turns out she's only
(30:40):
fans and a professional sex worker and conning you out
of fifty thousand plus dollars. I mean, it's just like
everything that could you could do wrong. I am a
happened to you.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yes, it did. Did you ever meet this girl in
person or only via?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Is that why you're broke?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yes, that's why I'm on this show selling. I need
the money now. She this is true. She left me
standing in front of a Noodles in company in the
middle of Utah, with all of my belongings stuffed into
two giant suitcases and a giant women's size handbag that,
for whatever reason, she was arguing with me the whole
time that it was not a women's handbag, its unisex.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
It could be either sex if you wanted it to be.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
She drove off in a brand new Shebrew sol Tear
electric vehicle I had just put eleven four hundred dollars
down on four days earlier, and rolled down a window
and waved said I love you, as if she forgot
to say that, because she did, and then she proceeded
to go off on a two day date with her
top client, a dentist out of New York City, and
(31:42):
that was the day after Christmas.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Wow, I apologize when you earlier were saying, you know what,
forget Valentine's Day, I'm not into it. And I was like, oh,
come on, after what you've been through. Well that yeah,
it was.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah. So I had like, you make mistakes. That's my
biggest lesson here. I'm gonna tell you if you're in
a long relationship, or even if you're just in your
you're dating for the first time or anything, you're gonna
make mistakes.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
So like walk into with your eyes wide open.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Like that's the thing is, adults, we walk into this,
you know, in you're your forties or fifties, however old
you may be, and you find yourself trying to date
or find people.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
First.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
What I've discovered you have to work on you first,
because you're gonna attract whatever energy you're putting out.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
The truth is, Scott, I was.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Just as broken as this crazy blue haired Brazilian model
from Utah. So I made mistakes. I made a lot
of mistakes. And I heard people along the way and
myself probably most at the most at the top of
that list.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
So I've learned a lot.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
So I after that, I said, you know, I'm not
going to rush into like dating like, I need to
work on me. I've got a three year plan. There's
a journal involved, stickers, lots of stickers involved in this
junk journally. My point is, work on you first. Become
the one you're seeking, Like, don't look for the one
to complete you.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You can you are the one. You can't like someone
else until you like you. That is the message here
from absolutely Matt Tompkins.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
And you might not end up wanting to be with
anybody else but yourself.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
And I'm pretty sure every place, every strip mall where
it says massage and the windows are like blocked off,
that that's for like, you know, if you are lonely,
it'd be a lot cheaper. He just stayed, and I
think that's what that means. That's the sign, the signal
they're thrown out, Matt, uh.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Wow that note. Wow. Okay, thank you very much for
all of that. It's a pleasure hanging out with you.
Thanks a lot for coming back on KFAB. It's been
too long. We'll do it again soon, all right. I
