00:00you have to keep in mind too the jerky boys was never a mean-spirited uh thing that's that was
00:09one of the p i think that's one of the reasons why people used to go nuts over the jerky boys
00:13because it was you know frank rizzo would call somebody he wants a job at it as an auto mechanic
00:20and he's telling the guy he wants the job from that he's gonna wrap his and head in with a ratchet
00:26so it was and it was all pretty much it was um it was chaos and it was a lot of it was self-deprecating
00:34humor but it was never mean-spirited anybody who knows the jerky boys you go back through the
00:39catalog and you'll see there's really nothing mean-spirited there and i think even the kid
