- break, it was scheduled next videotaping session during the commercial break. That makes sense. However,
- we'll be having jeans and heels. Jeans and heels sounds like a plan.
- All of the two of us are doing a get dance get. Okay. So I'm sure you have it at home, right? I'm sure
- I can find it. So, and, um, yeah. Crack you up while with a Steven Rentschler. Yes. You ask Lee rabbit.

- to 11th Street Church.
- Do you know of someone else named Jason? Jason. Is there a Jason that works here at the library? Raggy.
- Okay. That's the name I know, I think. Yep. The Jason Ziegler used to work at Bloomington Hardware.
- The baldhead guy. Okay. And you're still there and at McDonald's and here. I'm still there. Yep.
- You're very, very busy. Yes, absolutely indeed.
- So indeed, indeed, Kimmy. So I'm really excited. And I'm, so your dad is still greatly missed. Very,
- very missed. Yes. Very, very missing. He was young. He was very young. He was 62. I think 62. Yes.
- He was 62. And, um, he, uh, once his birthday, June 29th, uh, he died in March and he was 62. He would
- have been 63.
- That's right. Would have been 63, so. Still very young. Yeah, very, still very young. So, he's not even,
- he was not a senior citizen. No, that's true. So, he won't be again. He won't, he never will, so. No,

- So, your mom is, right? She is now. She's sixty-six. Wow. She is now, so... Maybe I shouldn't have said
- that on TV. Oops. She won't care. Right. That's okay. It's okay. So, apparently, she's... How is Nicole,
- your sister? She's great. She just recently got a new job, and she lives in Indianapolis. Wow. She's
- wonderful. She's one of my very favorite people.
- Yes, and you and your sister, that's it, right? Unless you count my mom's dog. Yep. His name's Zach.
- Zach. Oh yeah. He's kind of like another child, but he's a dog. Yep. However, that was great. So Nicole
- never been married, right? Wow. You and Nicole never been married. That's true. Wow.
- something, isn't it? So, yes, indeed. So, I'm glad you're doing well in training, volunteering track
- and field. Yeah. Is that right? Yeah, volunteering. Well, and just helping with all the volunteers.
- Right, all the volunteers. For all the sports. Yes, absolutely. Indeed. So, and then, of course, IU,
- right? And, of course, Special Olympics.
- However, this time, I'm so glad to see you. And before the taping, I'm glad you noticed. I hope you'll
- get well soon. Thank you. So I heard that you wasn't feeling well before the taping, during the commercial
- break, before we came back on the show. That's true. But it was important for me to be here.
- So it's important for you to be here tonight on The Leonard Beasley Show. So I already am having a great
- time. And of course, I've done taping sessions with Tim and Amber Mestre. Amber Mestre works at the
- library and one of my announcers of The Leonard Beasley Show. And she's been doing it for three years.
- Amber is. And then Tim Thompson joined the team. That's great.
- And we lost a couple announcers, two announcers. One of them's taking a break. So it's Jared Cheek.
- He's taking a break. He's covering in all the positions at the library because people left the library,
- no longer work there. And the other one, Jane Cronkite, no call, no show, double whammy.
- And then the second time is also double whammy. That means a total quadruple whammy when she's out.
- I'm glad you have a new team then. That's exciting. So she's Jane Cronkite is no longer as announcer.
- She got terminated. So now you have Amber and Tim. Amber's already still there. Amber's still there,
- but Amber still hanging on. She's been doing this for three years.
- And we just got Burrow, new announcer for 2018, and Nyorina, also announcer for 2018. And now we just
- had introducing Tim Thompson as an announcer. The announcer team is growing right now, yes. So to fill
- in, so we're also looking for at least three more.
- Five more would be great. So, five more would be absolutely great, Kimmy. So, and of course, I absolutely
- would love to have you as an announcer one day. Yeah, maybe one time. I don't think I can join the team,
- but. Yep, so. I'm happy to help out one time. All right, so. Well, I'll help you with, I'll do the scripts
- and then all you do is read it, so.
- So, um, that's all there is to it. So, and of course I already, uh, having a two tag team, um, which
- means two announcers on the Leonard Beasley show will announce in each episode. I think, uh, we're starting
- out, we're starting doing a tag team in each new episode of Leonard Beasley show. I think we got four
- 13 or I think it's 13 announcers. I'm, I'm maybe.
- Wrong, but either 12 or 13 announcers. That's a lot, either way. Either way, but since we have a lot
- of announcers growing team, however, I think it's a good idea to do a tag announcing in each new episode.
- So I think it's looking that way so far. So apparently the rest of the season, however, in season five,
- Sounds like you have a plan. I think it's gonna be a good plan so far. All of this is the finalization,
- so that's it. However, at this time, Kimmy, so what do you think of being on the show tonight? Well,
- I'm happy to be here. Yes, you are absolutely happy to be here tonight on the show. And of course, are
- you looking forward to coming back and doing a
- A dance skit? It'll be nice to have you teach me how to dance like your mom taught you. That'll be nice.
- That'd be absolutely wonderful. You're absolutely right, Cami. I absolutely will love to teach you how
- to dance. I've done this before. I've done this for 18 years now. So you have experience. Yes,
- I sure do. Absolutely. From my mom. However, and that means it's really awesome, isn't it? Yeah, it is.
- It's nice to have those memories and to have that skill. Yes. On the next Let It Be Easy show for you
- or your appearance, there will be a dance skit. Okay. At least we're going to do at least three songs,
- favorite songs. Maybe four or five. I'm going to put it in planning centers. Okay. Let It Be Easy show
- planning center in my laptop.
- So anyway, I'm delighted to have you on the Land of Easy Show. I appreciate you having me here. So,
- and I hope you get well soon. Thank you. I appreciate that. I will. And however, this time, you're the
- Washawaba. Okay, I'll be the Washawaba today. Yep, you're the Washawaba. No, I think you are. Yep.
