The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements.

If you know Dobbs Tire and Auto Centers, you love them. They have been fixing everything St. Louis drives for 50 years. They guarantee the lowest tire prices in town and have a drive away tire package that includes free balancing, rotation and flat repair on their tires. It's incredible. And here's one more reason you don't want anybody but Dobbs handling your vehicle. Right now, when you buy any three Cooper tires at Dobbs, you get one free.

You drive out with a whole set of brand new Cooper tires, but you only pay for three. At your next stop, take a look. Take a look at the tires. Looking a little worn? Tread looking a little on the thin side? Listen, it happens, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Head to Dobbs, buy any three Cooper tires, and get one free. Don't let this offer pass you by. Stop in and get safer, newer, better tires for less while supplies last. Visit gotodobbs.com. That's gotodobbs.com. Find a location near you or see an associate for details. gotodobbs.com.

Brian writes, that was badass, Rafe.

Rafe Williams (2:17)

Thanks, Brian.

Lern Elwell (2:20)

Killed it. I was in the bathroom and I purposefully stayed in there to like have an outside experience.

Rizzuto (2:26)

How did it sound?

Lern Elwell (2:26)

And it sounded like a damn recorded thing that we played.

Rizzuto (2:29)

Moon was snapping.

Lern Elwell (2:30)

It was great.

Rafe Williams (2:32)

I was tapping.

Felt good. Yeah.

Rizzuto (2:34)

You were tapping. I was just like...

Rafe Williams (2:37)

I channeled...

Rizzuto (2:37)

My hands were on my chin just looking at you.

Rafe Williams (2:39)

I channeled the ghost of William Hubbard, the old lounge singer.

Moon Valjean (2:47)

Old Bill Hubbard. Bill Hubbard, yeah.

Lern Elwell (2:48)

Billy Hubbard.

Rafe Williams (2:49)

Lives in this building.

Hey, man, we got a big show today. The Wienermobile is coming by.

Moon Valjean (2:54)

Hey, big Wiener show, A show. Wienermobile is going to be here.

Rafe Williams (2:57)

I just remembered that when you turned the mics on and got hyped.

Lern Elwell (3:01)

This is a big deal.

Rafe Williams (3:03)

I was so focused on the anthem, I forgot about the Wienermobile.

Lern Elwell (3:06)

I told my friends, Christy and Sean, who came in town for the Turnstile show on Wednesday that the Wienermobile was going to be here Friday. They're like, can we come by the radio? I said, yes. The Wiener is for everyone.

Rizzuto (3:15)

Yeah, of course. The Wienermobile is for everybody.

Moon Valjean (3:18)

We were talking details about an hour ago because we were trying to figure out like, because they said something about it's just under 30 feet.

Rizzuto (3:24)

Yeah, it's 27 feet.

Moon Valjean (3:25)

I was like, wait a second, is that like a door? Can I get in the Wiener?

Rizzuto (3:28)

Can you climb in the toot, like the actual hot dog?

Moon Valjean (3:31)

Right, or is it just a hot dog on the chassis of a truck?

Rafe Williams (3:36)

No, no. I've been near the Wienermobile.

Lern Elwell (3:40)

I saw it on Wednesday.

Rafe Williams (3:41)

Never been in it, but I've been near it.

Lern Elwell (3:43)

But you can be in it?

Moon Valjean (3:43)

At a chief's game. Yeah, you can be in it.

Rizzuto (3:45)

You can get in the toot.

Rafe Williams (3:46)

It looks like a submarine, dude.

Lern Elwell (3:48)

We saw it on 255 Going to the Turnstile show, the Wienermobile was like going to Missouri across the JB bridge.

It's been making the rounds.
