Speaker 1: go here? Lex, Good morning.
Speaker 2: Lex, good morning. My weakest claim to say, which I
Speaker 2: am desperately hoping is golden kettle worthy, is that I
Speaker 2: had Prince come into the Uptown theater I was working
Speaker 2: at in Minneapolis as a teenager, and he rented out
Speaker 2: the whole cinema so he could watch more holland Drive
Speaker 2: by himself without the pedestrians around him.
Speaker 1: This is a good of course, he's from. I was
Speaker 1: Pacer Parkers as well. He hide out and just so
Speaker 1: he can watch it by himself, mar hulland Drive.
Speaker 2: Just by himself, while he had his like posse of
Speaker 2: people with him.
Speaker 1: Yep. And he came power generation there or the machinery wrestler.
Speaker 2: And yet about a half a dozen like people in
Speaker 2: a bodyguard person, and we had to block the doors
Speaker 2: and nobody else could go in and bother them while
Speaker 2: they were watching the movie. I corn and candy and yeah.
Speaker 4: Sod, like, is there way to hire out the whole Cinnemore?
Speaker 4: Did he literally buy every ticket, every.
Speaker 2: Scene, every ticket like he had. I didn't get to talk.
Speaker 1: I was pretty little more rock sauce behaving. That is
Speaker 1: what a great story he gave you as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we weren't allowed to talk to him. His bodyguard,
Speaker 2: he was standing behind his bodyguard, and his bodyguard ordered
Speaker 2: all the tickets, and he said, we want to buy it.
Speaker 7: Him.
Speaker 4: And did he do you know if he ate popcorn
Speaker 4: chock tops, he's gonna have popcorns.
Speaker 2: We have a candy called snow caps, which are like
Speaker 2: little chocolates covering the hundreds of thousand sort of. So
Speaker 2: he got those and he got a big popcorn, and yeah,
Speaker 2: and he put his he put his he put his
Speaker 2: snow caps into his popcorn.
Speaker 1: And tell me this right, because Prince he said he
Speaker 1: was a little fellow, even in those high heel boots.
Speaker 1: Did he ask one of those little booster seats?
Speaker 2: Sure if.
Speaker 1: So, don't forget that booster seat. Lex, Lex, you give
Speaker 1: us a story about that about Prince you have the
Speaker 1: last golden kettle.

Speaker 8: is that my parents in the nineteen sixties had Skippy
Speaker 8: the Kangaroo in there having a cup of tea. And
Speaker 8: it was actually that they took photos of it in
