I'M ADIA MORRIS AND I'M JOINED LIVE IN THE STUDIO BY ALL OF THESE FOLKS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CRAZY NEW KIND OF PUBLIC TELEVISION EXPERIENCE CALLED TV TAKEOVER!

WE'VE ASKED FIVE OF THE TWIN CITIES MOST DARING AND INVENTIVE CREATIVE FOLKS TO TAKE OVER OUR AIR, AND FOR THE NEXT HOUR, ONE OF THEM IS ABOUT TO DO JUST THAT.

TV TAKEOVER IS SORT OF LIKE A TV PARTY.

IT'S A FIVE-PART BROADCAST EVENT THAT YOU CAN ATTEND IN PERSON, STREAM ONLINE AT TVTAKEOVER.NET, OR WATCH ON TV.

TODAY'S PARTNER IS MPLS.TV!

CHEERS!

>> I'M CHRIS CLOUD.

>> WELCOME.

GO AHEAD.

>> WE ARE THE CO-FOUNDERS OF MPLS.TV, WHICH STANDS FOR MINNEAPOLIS TELEVISION, IF YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT OUT.

>> Adia: I WAS GOING TO MAKE UP AN ACRONYM.

SO, WHY DID YOU GUYS CREATE THIS?

I MEAN, WHY MINNEAPOLIS TELEVISION?

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

>> WE WERE LOOKING FOR AN OUTLET FOR OUR CREATIVITY AND WE REALIZED THAT THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS DIDN'T HAVE A PLATFORM FOR IDEAS THAT WERE KIND OF WACKY AND GOOFY, PEOPLE NEEDED A PLACE TO PUT THEIR STUFF, AND WE DECIDED TO MAKE IT.

>> Adia: YEAH, YEAH, LIKE THAT.

>> ALSO HAPPENED BECAUSE I GOT FIRED FROM MY JOB.

SO I FIGURED, OH, LET'S START A TV PROJECT, WHY NOT.

>> THE DAY HE GOT FIRED, YEAH, LET'S START A TV SHOW.

>> AND WE DID.

>> JUNE 9th, 2009.

>> FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY THIS WEEK, ACTUALLY.

>> Adia: FIVE YEARS THIS WEEK.

>> THANK YOU.

CHEERS >> Adia: UNEMPLOYMENT, ALWAYS GOOD FOR CREATIVE IDEAS.

>> TRUE.

>> Adia: SO WHAT'S IT LIKE TO COLLABORATE WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE?

>> A LITTLE HOT IN HERE.

IS IT HOT IN HERE?

IS IT ME?

>> I THINK IT'S YOU, DUDE.

>> IT'S WONDERFUL.

WE'VE WORKED WITH SO MANY PEOPLE, PROBABLY OVER 150, 200 PEOPLE OVER THE COURSE OF THE FIVE YEARS, AT LEAST.

>> OH, YEAH.

>> AND IT'S JUST GREAT TO COME -- PEOPLE COME TO US WITH IDEAS, BE ABLE TO TRANS THEM INTO VIDEO -- TRANSFORM THEM INTO VIDEO CONTENT.

IT'S A GREAT THING.

>> KIND OF CONNECT IDEAS AND PEOPLE, SEE THINGS COME TO LIFE, GIVE PEOPLE A CREATIVE VOICE THAT THEY MIGHT NOT FIND ELSEWHERE.

>> Adia: IN THREE WORDS, WHAT'S THE THING YOU'RE MOST PROUD OF?

>> OH, WOW.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

>> THAT IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION.

>> I'M REALLY PROUD OF A GUY NAMED DAN, HE CAN'T BE HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE HE'S OUT THERE KILLIN' IT IN THE WORLD.

>> SURE.

>> AND HE STARTED WORKING CLOUD RATING AND NOW HE'S A VIDEO DIRECTOR ALL OVER THE WORLD.

>> PRODUCER OF CITY OF MUSIC.

>> Adia: SHOUT-OUT TO DAN.

>> YOU'RE IN THE WORLD SOMEWHERE, I THINK YOU'RE IN WISCONSIN.

Laughter HE'S AT JUSTIN VERNON'S CABIN, THOUGH.

>> Adia: JUSTIN VETERANON'S CABIN -- VERNON'S CABIN.

>> ADIA: LET'S TAKE A LOOK RIGHT NOW AT TWO VIDEOS FROM MPLS.TV.

THE FIRST IS FROM THE SERIES STREET STORIES WHERE EVERYDAY PEOPLE FROM MINNEAPOLIS SHARE THEIR INTERESTING AND UNEXPECTED STORIES ON LOCATION.

THEN, WE'LL LEARN A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT OUR FAIR CITY WITH A VIDEO FROM THE SERIES PERFECTLY GOOD FACTS WHICH FEATURES THE WALKER ART CENTER'S SCULPTURE GARDEN.

>> I'M JESSICA.

>> AND I'M MEGAN.

>> AND THIS IS OUR STREET STORY.

>> MEGAN AND I HAVE BEEN BEST FRIENDS SINCE WE WERE 5 YEARS OLD.

WE MET IN KINDERGARTEN.

WENT TO GRADE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE.

TOGETHER.

>> YEAH, WE WERE HAVING A SLEEPOVER AT MY PARENTS', YOU KNOW, 15 YEARS OLD, AND WE WERE UPSET WITH -- WE WERE OBSESSED WITH SERIAL KILLERS.

>> WE WERE A LITTLE MORBID.

>> WE WOULD READ THE BOOKS, WATCH THE MOVIES, STAY UP ALL NIGHT.

>> EVER LITTLE NOISE, EVER CREEK, WE'D BE LIKE, WHAT IS THAT?

>> ESPECIALLY AT MEGAN'S PARENTS' HOUSE, IT'S ALL WINDOWS IN THE FRONT.

>> ON THE THIRD FLOOR.

WE WENT TO BED PROBABLY AROUND MIDNIGHT OR SOMETHING.

AND AROUND, WHAT WAS IT, LIKE, 2:00, I WAKE UP TO THE SOUND OF MY MOM JUST, LIKE, THIS BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM.

OH, GOD, NO!

AND I'M JUST LIKE, WHAT?

AND MY MOM'S ALREADY KIND OF LIKE A SHRILL KIND OF -- SO IT JUST -- IT SOUNDED TERRIFYING.

>> SO I WAKE UP TO THIS.

>> YEAH.

>> RIGHT ABOUT 2:00 IN THE MORNING.

>> I MEAN, I'M FREAKED OUT ALREADY, JUST, YOU KNOW, GIVEN OUR READING HABITS AND TWO SECONDS LATER, WE HEAR MY LITTLE BROTHER SCREAM.

AND THE FIRST THOUGHT THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD IS, YOU KNOW, HANNIBAL ELECTOR.

>> MEGAN IS, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING REALLY HORRIBLE IS GOING ON IN THE HOUSE.

>> I AM JUST PARALYZED, LIKE, TOTALLY FROZEN RIGHT NOW.

>> EVERY STORY WE'VE EVER READ IS RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND OVER, YOU KNOW -- >> WE KIND OF ROSE TO THE OCCASION, DON'T WORRY, MEGAN.

>> I'LL PEEK OUT THE DOOR.

>> YES.

>> THIS MAN RUNS BY WITH A LONG SHOTGUN, LIKE, TWO FEET AWAY FROM OUR DOOR.

>> MY HEART DROPPED.

>> JUST THOSE WORDS, SHE SAID, THERE'S A MAN WITH A SHOTGUN, ALL OF MY WORST FEARS ARE COMING.

>> WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A BOOK ONE DAY.

>> YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I THOUGHT.

YEAH.

I CALLED 9-1-1, AND I GOT THE OPERATOR AND I THINK THE FIRST THING I SAID WAS, I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BE CALLING, BUT I THINK SOMEONE'S MURDERING MY FAMILY.

SHE TOLD ME, JUST REMAIN CALM AND SHE WOULD STAY ON THE LINE WITH ME UNTIL THE POLICE GOT THERE.

SHE SAID NOT TO BE WORRIED, IF I CITY FIGURES OUTSIDE THE WINDOW, BECAUSE THAT WAS JUST THE POLICE SURROUNDING THE HOUSE.

FOR REAL?

>> YEAH.

>> THE POLICE CAME WITHIN -- UNDER A MINUTE, I THINK.

>> YEAH.

>> IT WAS FAST.

>> AS SOON AS SHE, YOU KNOW, WAS TALKING TO THE LADY ON THE PHONE, ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU HEAR THE BUSHES RUSTLING GOING AROUND HER HOUSE.

>> IT WAS JUST LIKE THE S.W.A.T.

TEAM WAS THERE.

>> THE OPERATOR SAID THAT THE COP WOULD BE RINGING THE DOORBELL.

>> THE DOORBELL RINGS, AND WE HEAR SOMEBODY ANSWER IT.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR MY DAD'S VOICE, AND HE GOES, ARE YOU HERE FOR THE BAT?

>> I THINK THERE WAS A BAT IN MY MOM'S -- IN -- >> SHE WOKE UP TO A BAT FLYING AROUND HER ROOM.

>> I THINK SHE ACTUALLY SAID THE BAT GOT IN HER HAIR.

THEY'RE ALL JUST IN A FRENZY TRYING TO KILL THIS BAT.

>> AT ONE POINT, THE BAT GOT OUT INTO THE LIVING ROOM AREA WHERE MY DAD -- >> HER DAD CHASED IT DOWN WITH A LONG BROOM.

>> YEAH.

>> I FELT RELIEVED.

>> I FELT GUILTY BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE.

>> I REMEMBER TELLING THE OPERATOR THAT IT WAS A BAT.

SHE'S LIKE, OH, GOOD.

>> THEN THE COPS, ACTUALLY, WHEN THEY CAME, HELPED KILL THE BAT.

>> THEY KILLED IT?

>> REMOVED IT, I THINK.

>> THEY NEVER INTERVIEWED US OR ANYTHING.

YOU KNOW, TOOK A STATEMENT.

>> AND TO THIS DAY, GERALD STILL THINKS THAT -- >> YOU CAN CALL THE COPS ON A BAT AND THEY'LL COME.

>> STREET STORIES, HUH?

WELL, THAT WASN'T DISAPPOINTING.

>> NOW, AS YOU'RE PROBABLY ALREADY AWARE, A FULL 2/3 OF THE NATION'S CHERRIES ARE PRODUCED RIGHT HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS PROPER.

AND AS YOU PROBABLY ALSO KNOW, THE STATUE BEHIND ME, ENTITLED THE SODA JERK VIRGINITY COMMEMORATES THAT FACT, BUT HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO WONDER WHERE DID IT COME FROM AND WHAT -- BLEEP -- IS IT FOR?

MINNEAPOLIS, St. PAUL WHERE BLEEP DOES IT COME FROM WHAT THE BLEEP ARE THEY FOR MINNEAPOLIS AND St. PAUL, WE KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BUT WE'D LOVE TO KNOW MORE >> IN THE 1980s, THIS NATION FACED A CRISIS.

AMERICA'S STRATEGIC ART RESERVES ONCE THE ENVY OF THE WORLD HAD BEEN DEPLETED TO HISTORIC LOWS.

IN POINT OF FACT, ONLY A HANDFUL OF PAINTINGS REMAINED.

IT WAS THEN THAT A ASTROLOGIER NANCY REAGAN STEPPED IN WITH FIND THE ART CAMPAIGN, EMPLOYING THOUSANDS OF INNER-CITY YOUTH TO TAKE TO THE STREET IN SEARCH OF ART MUSEUMS AND FIND THEM THEY DID.

THE FIRST EVIDENCE OF THE WALKER SCULPTURE GARDEN WAS SPOTTED IN 1987 AND EXCAVATION FOLLOWED THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

WASTE IT TO BE CLEARED AWAY TO DISPLAY THE RICH ART DEPOSITS.

OVER 40 PIECES OF BLEEP , OF COURSE, SEVERAL HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE COLLECTION BY SKILLED ARTISTS OVER THE YEARS, BUT THE VAST MAJORITY ARE THE RESULT OF NATURALLY OCCURRING PHENOMONA.

SHAPED OVER EONS BY EXTREMES OF HOT AND COLD, ERODED BY WIND AND RAIN TO RESEMBLE RABBITS, TRENCH COATS, ARBORETUM.

BUT THE SCULPTURE GARDEN IS NOT WITHOUT ITS DETRACTORS AND SOME WOULD PREFER TO SEE IT BULLDOZED FOR CHRISTIAN READING ROOMS AND OUTLET MALLS.

>> SCULPTURE IS NOT BAD.

SCULPTURE IS PLEASING FOR CHILDREN.

>> AND, SO, THE CONTROVERSY WAGES ON.

IS THE SCULPTURE GARDEN A BEACON OF CULTURE OR IS IT A CESSPOOL SEEKING RELEVANCE IN A POST POST MODERN?

ONE WONDERS WHAT ART COLLECTOR AND TEXAS RANGER T.B.

WALKER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF ALL OF THIS.

WHO DOESN'T WANT?

>> IF YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SCULPTURE GARDEN, ASK YOUR MOM OR MAKE UP YOUR OWN DUMB -- BLEEP -- LIKE WE DID.

Cheers and applause >> Adia: WE HAVE ANOTHER VIDEO FOR YOU.

THIS ONE FEATURES RAPPER PAUL PAULS.

KEVIN, I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

WHY IS THERE A SNAKE ON THE SHOW TODAY?

>> WHAT'S A TALK SHOW WITHOUT AN ANIMAL DEMO, I MEAN, COME ON.

>> EVERY TALK SHOW NEEDS ITS JACK HANNAH.

>> I AM NO JIMMY FALLON.

SO LET'S GET STARTED.

WHAT KIND OF SNAKE IS THIS?

>> THIS IS A BULL SNAKE.

THIS IS THE LARGEST SNAKE WE GET IN THE WILD IN MINNESOTA.

THEY CAN GET TO BE EIGHT FEET LONG.

THIS IS ONLY ABOUT FIVE.

GOT A LITTLE WAYS TO GO.

>> HOW OLD IS THIS SNAKE?

>> IT'S BEEN AT THE MUSEUM FOR ABOUT 13 YEARS.

>> OH, MY GOSH.

HOW LONG DO THEY NORMALLY LIVE?

>> THEY CAN LIVE 20, 25 YEARS.

THEY CAN LIVE LONGER THAN THAT.

>> THAT'S VERY COOL.

YOU GUYS, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT SNAKES?

>> I FEEL FINE ABOUT SNAKES.

IT'S A BULL SNAKE?

>> I'M ACTUALLY A TAURUS, SO WE HAVE KINSHIP WITH THAT FELLOW.

>> Adia: GOOD.

WELL, SO WHAT KIND OF THINGS DOES THIS SNAKE EAT?

IT'S NOT PEOPLE, I'M ASSUMING.

>> NO, NO.

THIS IS DEFINITELY A RODENT EATER.

IT LIKES TO EAT GOPHERS AND MICE AND SMALL RABBITS.

REALLY REALLY TINY CHILDREN.

NO, NOT.

>> WHAT ABOUT TACOS?

>> TACOS?

>> MAYBE TACO TUESDAY, YOU KNOW.

>> HAS IT EVER BEEN ON A PLANE?

>> HAS IT EVER BEEN ON A PLANE?

THIS SNAKE HAS NOT BEEN ON A PLANE.

IT'S BEEN A BOAT, IT'S BEEN ON A RIVERBOAT BUT NOT A PLANE.

>> Adia: I WONDER, HOW MANY PEOPLE COME IN AND SEE THE SNAKE AND THEY'RE, LIKE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, DO THEY FREAK OUT?

>> WE DO PRETTY WELL.

WE TRY REALLY HARD TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THE SNAKES ARE DECENT ANIMALS.

AND THEY'RE IMPORTANT.

WE DO OCCASIONALLY HAVE PEOPLE WHO FREAK OUT AND BACK AWAY SLOWLY FROM THE TOUCH AND SEE ROOM AT THE MUSEUM.

>> Adia: WHAT'S THE SNAKE'S NAME?

>> WE DON'T NAME OUR SNAKES.

>> Adia: YOU DON'T?

>> BUT YOU CAN CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT.

BUT WE CALL IT A BULL SNAKE.

>> Adia: AND WHEN CAN PEOPLE SEE THIS PARTICULAR SNAKE?

>> THIS SNAKE LIVES IN THE TOUCH AND SEE ROOM AT THE BELL MUSEUM, ANY TIME THE BELL MUSEUM IS OPEN, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME AND VISIT.

LET'S KEEP THAT APPLAUSE GOING FOR COMEDIAN ELIZABETH ESS!

APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE.

Applause >> HELLO, EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'M SO EXCITED.

A FRIEND OF MINE MESSAGED ME ON Facebook TODAY.

HE SAID, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER NIGHT AT THAT PARTY WHEN WE WERE SITTING ON THE COUCH TOGETHER, I THOUGHT ABOUT KISSING YOU.

I DIDN'T.

IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

I JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

THAT'S KIND OF A COMPLIMENT.

HE'S SAYING THAT I, ELIZABETH, AM RESISTIBLE.

Laughter I'M RESISTIBLE.

I WAS RESISTED.

AND IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

Laughter IT NEVER IS.

I WENT TO A PSYCHIC RECENTLY BECAUSE I WANT TO GET MY LIFE TOGETHER.

Laughter SHE READ MY TARRO.

SHE TOLD ME THREE THINGS, FIRST, I SHOULD KEEP DOING COMEDY, SECOND, MY NEXT BOYFRIEND'S GOING TO BE A GIVER.

AND, THIRD, I SHOULD JUST IGNORE THAT DEATH CARD, IT PROBABLY MEANS NOTHING.

Laughter SHE'S A BETTER PSYCHIC THAN SHE REALIZES.

I DO LIVE IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS.

Laughter IT'S A LOT OF FUN.

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE.

I HAVE A GOOD ROOMMATE.

SHE'S A HITSTER.

I'M NOT, THOUGH, I JUST HAVE ASTIGMATISM AND BAD TASTE IN EVERYTHING.

Laughter THERE'S BARELY A DIFFERENCE.

FOR INSTANCE, SHE DECORATES WITH A LOT OF VINTAGE STUFF.

AND IT'S NOT GOOD STUFF LIKE IF YOU TOOK IT ON ANTIQUE ROAD SHOW THEY WOULD SAY, WELL, AT LEAST YOU LIKE IT.

Laughter I DON'T REALLY DECORATE AT ALL.

ALL I HAVE IN MY ROOM IS AN AIR MATTRESS AND A DRUM SET.

I LIKE IT AND GUYS LIKE IT, TOO, BECAUSE THE DRUM SET SAYS THAT I ROCK AND THE AIR AIR MATTRESS SAYS THAT I WILL SETTLE FOR LESS.

Laughter THAT IS A TRUE STORY.

MY MOM HATES THAT JOKE.

SHE'S, LIKE, TELL THEM YOU HAVE A BED.

I DO.

IT'S ON LAYAWAY.

AND SEVEN MONTHS AT BAD -- IN SEVEN MONTHS, THAT BAD BOY'S MINE.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT AND DIE ALONE IN IT.

I WON'T DIE ALONE.

IT'S FINE.

I DO ONLINE DATING.

IT IS NOT GOING WELL.

I'VE HEARD THAT IF YOU POST -- YOU HAVE BETTER CHANCES IF YOU POST A FULL-BODY PHOTO OF YOURSELF.

AND I WANT BETTER CHANCES BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, IF A GUY THINKS I'M FAT, I KIND OF WANT HIM TO WASTE A TRIP TO FIND OUT.

NO, PUT ON YOUR PANTS, GET IN YOUR CAR, MEET ME AT THE APPLEBEE'S WHERE I WILL BE ANYWAY.

I'LL TALK ABOUT NICKIE MINUTE ACKNOWLEDGE FOR 20 MINUTES BECAUSE I HAVE A GREAT PERSONALITY.

YEAH, I SHOULD GET SERIOUS ABOUT DATING BECAUSE I HEARD THE STATISTIC THAT OVER THE COURSE OF A LIFETIME, IT COSTS A MILLION DOLLARS MORE TO BE A SINGLE WOMAN.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW CATS ATE THAT MUCH.

Laughter Applause LIKE MAYBE IF YOU HAVE 12 OF THEM.

WHICH, YOU KNOW, GOD WILLING.

Laughter IT'S HARD FOR ME TO GET BACK INTO DATING, THOUGH, BECAUSE I SPENT A YEAR CELIBATE.

THANK YOU FOR THE MOMENT OF SILENCE.

Laughter I LOVE RESPECT.

THIS IS GOOD.

AND I WASN'T DOING IT FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS.

I'M AN ATHEIST, I DON'T BELIEVE IN KANYE WEST.

Laughter I WAS DOING IT BECAUSE I WANTED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I WANTED IN MY NEXT RELATIONSHIP.

FOR INSTANCE, MY LAST BOYFRIEND WAS A BIGGER GUY.

AND NOT BIG IN AN ENJOYABLE WAY.

HE WAS BIG LIKE A WATER BED.

AND WATER BEDS CAN BE A LOT OF FUN BUT THIS ONE SWEAT A LOT AND IT OWED ME MONEY.

BUT THE COOL THING ABOUT A WATER BED IS, YOU STAB IT ONCE AND YOU'RE DONE.

Laughter NO WITNESSES.

OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Cheers and applause >> Adia: LET'S HEAR IT FOR ELIZABETH ESS.

THANK YOU, ELIZABETH, THAT WAS AWESOME.

THANK YOU.

I LOVE THE TATTOO.

YES.

GREAT.

DON'T THINK ABOUT IT TOO HARD, THOUGH.

NOW FOR SOME MUSIC FROM THE BAND FIELD TRIP, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE LUCY MICHELLE AND THE VELVET LAPELS.

THEN, WE'LL HEAD TO THE BRYANT LAKE BOWL TO MEET THE MAN WHO'S BEEN RUNNING THINGS BEHIND THE SCENES FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS.

LAZY BONES WILL STAY SOBER UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE WITHOUT KNOWING AT ALL GIVE ME WHAT I NEED I'LL GIVE YOU SUN AND WATER HOW DO WE KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL EVERYTHING IS AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT VERY SLOWLY THE CARPET IS A MAGNET AND WE ARE IN ITS FIELD SEE THE SUN IT'S NOT LIKE THAT UP HERE ENJOY IT WHILE YOU HOW DO WE KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL EVERYTHING IS SO GREAT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY MOMENT >> MY NAME IS ROGER RINGMARK AND I'M THE ALLEY MAN HERE.

>> I BECAME A -- IT BECAME A BOWLING ALLEY IN EITHER 1936 OR 1937.

BEFORE IT WAS A BOWLING ALLEY IT WAS A -- WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED BOWLING, THEY HAD HUMAN PIN SETTERS.

THEY HAD LANES THAT THEY'D STAND IN WHILE THE PEOPLE WERE BOWLING AND THEY'D GO OUT AND THEY'D SET UP THE PINS.

I THINK IT WAS LIKE IN '69 THAT THEY PUT IN THE AUTOMATIC MACHINES.

BILL WAS THE OWNER AT THE TIME.

AND HE'S ONE OF THE CLASSIC BOWLERS.

I BELIEVE HE'S IN BOTH MINNEAPOLIS AND St. PAUL HALL OF FAME.

HE USED TO SIT IN THE WINDOW OF THAT BOOTH UP THERE.

HE'D PLAY GIN AND WHILE HE'S PLAYING GIN, I'D TAKE CARE OF THE COUNTER FOR HIM.

I'VE BEEN HERE PROBABLY SOMEWHERE AROUND 30 YEARS OR MORE.

AND I'M 76 NOW.

WHEN HE TOOK OVER, THERE WASN'T ANYBODY ELSE THAT COULD WORK ON IT.

MONDAYS I CLEANED THE GUTTERS AND TOWELED THE HEADERS THE FIRST 16 FEET.

AND THEN I HAVE A SQUEEZE BOTTLE THAT I OIL THE LANES WITH.

AND I LET IT SET FOR A WHILE.

AND I'LL HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE AND THEN START TOWELING THE LANES.

WE DID HAVE ONE GUY THAT WENT RUNNING DOWN THE LANES AND BELLY FLIPPED THROUGH THE PIN DECK.

I LOVE THE GAME OF BOWLING.

WHEN I FIRST STARTED BOWLING, I PROBABLY BOWLED SIX LEAGUES A WEEK.

PLUS ALL THE TOURNAMENTS I BOWLED SOMEWHERE AROUND A DOZEN TOURNAMENTS A YEAR.

I'D BOWL IN NIAGARA FALLS AND I'D BOWL IN TEXAS AND I'D BOWL IN RENO.

I'VE BEEN BOWLING AS LONG AS I KNOW.

ANY TIME ANYTHING HAPPENS WITH MACHINES, A GHOST MUST HAVE DID IT.

AND I GUESS HE ROAMS AROUND BEHIND THE ALLEYS, I GET PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN HIM DOWNSTAIRS.

Cheers and applause >> ADIA: EVER FEEL LIKE YOUR DANCE MOVES COULD USE SOME MORE GROOVE?

I'M HERE WITH LOCAL DANCE AFFICIANDO AND FORMER HOST OF PUBLIC ACCESS TV SHOW FREAKY DEAKY BOBBY KAHN.

IS HERE TO TEACH US A THING OR TWO.

BOBBY, TAKE IT AWAY.

>> HELLO THERE, KIRN.

I'M HERE TO SHOW YOU HOW TO GET DOWN TODAY.

CHEERS BUT, FIRST, I WANT TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF.

I USED TO BE AFRAID TO DANCE AND NOW IT IS MY FAVORITE THING.

AND WHAT I LEARNED ALONG THAT WAY IS THAT IT'S MOSTLY A MENTAL THING THAT YOU NEED TO GET OVER TO BECOME A GOOD DANCER.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW GOOD YOU CAN DANCE.

AND ONE THING I LEARNED IS IT HELPS TO FEEL COOL.

SO YOU KIND OF GOT TO WALK AROUND, WAG YOUR HEAD A LITTLE BIT LIKE THIS.

CAN I SEE SOME WAGGING IN THE STUDIO AUDIENCE HERE?

WE GOT A LITTLE WORK TO DO.

IT ALSO HELPS TO FEEL COOL IF YOU LOOK COOL.

SO YOU GOT TO ACCESSORZIE A LITTLE BIT AND I GOT LOVELY MISS JENNIFER OVER HERE TO HELP ME.

I GOT MY SPECIAL SUNGLASSES.

I LOOK A LOT COOLER.

OH, WAIT, I FORGOT SOMETHING HERE.

WE GOT A LITTLE MORE.

CHEERS A LITTLE BETTER, RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, THIS IS WHERE Y'ALL COME IN.

WHAT MY DANCE CLASS IS, IS YOU GET TO BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT'S LIKE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO COME OVER HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, I'M GOING TO START IT OFF, BUT WHAT I NEED IS ANYONE WHO'S BRAVE ENOUGH TO COME IN AFTER ME.

I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.

A FEW THINGS YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT DANCING IN A CIRCLE.

YOU WANT TO TAKE UP AS MUCH SPACE AS YOU CAN.

SO YOU WALK AROUND.

WALK AROUND, WAGGING YOUR HEAD, WAGGING YOUR HEAD.

THE WHOLE TIME, WAGGING YOUR HEAD.

YOU PICK SOMEONE OUTSIDE, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

ANOTHER THING YOU GOT TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU'RE IN THE CIRCLE IS TO STAY SASSY AND CRISP EVERY DAY.

SO REPEAT AFTER ME, WHEN I'M IN THE CIRCLE, I WILL STAY SAFE.

ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL START WORKING ON THAT ONE.

OKAY.

CAN WE GET THE MUSIC A LITTLE LOUDER?

ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO.

WATCH ME.

CHEERS ALL RIGHT.
