This is the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire.

About a month ago on my reels, I was seeing this guy a lot.

And I don't know why my algorithm was showing this guy, although I think he's very funny. That might have been the reason. But Derek Strups with us, and Derek, I don't know why it was. About a month ago, I just kept seeing your stuff on my reels. So maybe because I... How that works is you, if you watch the comedian's whole bit they think you like it right yeah and you also

you might have clicked on a cracker barrel ad and that can that can funnel you right to me or even like

yeah or like a thick sliced baloney ad it'll you'll my algorithm i have you in a headlock it

it happens quick our phones are listening to us and we've mentioned for about a month that you were going to be the guy that opens up.

That could have been it too. Because we said your name repeatedly. Or the thick baloney bit. That could be it, too, by the way. Yeah, yeah. A couple of good theories. Derek Strupp's with us in the studio. Welcome, Derek. He said to Funny Bone this weekend in Omaha

and looking at your, for all of Derek's tour dates around the country.

We've read a couple new radio stations since you've been back with us.

Derek Stroopcom.com forward slash tour. You'll see that all there. Check it out. Omaha, Colorado Springs, Buffalo, all over the place. But in opening up the brand new Funny Bone in Omaha. I'm so happy to have Derek.

This is like Colleen's seventh funny bone she's opened.

No, just number three.

It only feels like 12.

And by far the best.

It totally is.

My heart is gorgeous.

I can't wait to see it.

Derek, do you have a strong opinion about which way your ceiling fan should rotate?

I don't.

I just wanted to rotate.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, and I like it to look like it's going to come off the ceiling.
