(04:03):
from Mercer Island. Hi, Jessica, how the hell are you? I'm
pretty good? Well, I'm prettygood too. All right, what do
we got here? My husband,Jerome is he's always been a little bit
immature and kind of silly, butit's caused us to have to go through
the parent teacher conference at my kid, Caleb's school. Oh no way,

(04:23):
you had to go to the childteacher meeting about it? Well, it's
sort of morphed in. Do youknow? My kid has always adored my
husband, and thankfully so, I'mvery grateful for that. But you know,
all Jerome wants to do is watch, you know, the clumps or
Chevy Chase, or you know,anybody that falls or farts. He thinks
it's hysterical. So anything that fallsor farts, yeah, you know,

(04:47):
I'm with your kid on this totalif it falls or farts, it's funny.
It's the three it's the three f'sof a social entanglement. But whatever
it is, I think it's funny. Sorry, yeah, I know.
But at lunch law week, hislittle friend was going to the lunch table
and she tripped and you know,her everything spilled and she got her drink
all over her clothes, and ofcourse my kid couldn't stop laughing. Right

(05:12):
then, of course we had todo the you know, please come to
the school, let's talk this out. We had to you know, write
the apology and blah blah all thatstuff. And I'm just going, honey,
can you not simmer down on thisstuff. We don't need to be
teaching, you know, Caleb.All this well, I think there's a
different thing between fart jokes and laughing. Because a girl's miend. It's not

(05:33):
nice, it's not polite like withme, and you called this life coach.
I feel I've got to do myduty already laughing, do my duty?
I said duty on the radio.I said duty. See even you're
laughing, it's the three Arts,falls at parts or something else. So
my kids, they don't look likeme. They don't find the same things
funny that I do. They don'tread the same books I do. May

(05:56):
I ask you something, When wasthe last time your kid read a book?
Well, he has to do thingsfor school, Okay, it was
the last time you read a book? I think you read Charlotte's Web maybe
over the summer. Okay, notbad end, A good story, by
the way, And quickly I willsay this was made into a movie in
which I was starring. So there. So here's the thing. I don't
think you have a real problem withthe kid. I don't think you even

(06:17):
have a real problem with your husband. You got a kid that reads a
book and thinks his dad is funny, and you went out of your way
because you love your family. You'rethe winner. There's a world around you
where kids don't like them mommy anddaddy. Kids don't read books, kids
make fart jokes at school. You'rethe big winner. You know. I've
done a couple of divorces. HereI'm telling you from experience. You're the

(06:40):
big winner. Kids love your dad, love it, everybody, even I
love you and I'm the life Coach, but I'm going to say this one
more time, and I've got togo back to people who are trying to
kill each other and set each otheron fire. You are the big winner.
Your family is lucky to have you. Okay, thank you, welcome.

furniture kind of guy. But we'llhear Danny Bonaducci's take next on one or
two point five k'sy okay, theClassic rock Station, The Danny Bonaducci and
Sarah Morning Show. Pase wee,he's a nurse us. Danny Bonaducci's takes

(12:30):
perfect. Here's my take on whitefurniture. I told you guys on Monday
that Amy and I were finning tomove to Bomb Springs. At least we're
part of the year. Some mightcall us snowbirds, what I prefer snow
Partridges. Sorry I had to sayit. Anyway. We were starting to
buy stuff with the new house andcan someone tell me why my wife bought
a white couch. She tells me, well, we're grown up, so
we don't have any kids. Wecan do this. But I'm really not

(12:52):
sure. Did she think about thefact that the cats would sit on it?
Did she consider the fact that I'mgoing to sit on it? I
have been walking around with bare whybecause she makes me wash my feet before
I sit on her couch. Wepromised we would never eat on this thing,
but come on, it's right infront of the TV. The other
day she got me eating a strawberrypomp tart right there on the couch.
Well, I was afraid for mylife. I cannot even imagine what might

(13:15):
happen if I dared to drink coffeeor god forbid, a brightly called gatorade.
Was this a wise purchase? Itseems like a bad investment to me.
Who's going to stand at first?Well, the good money's on me.
And that's my take on white furnitures. One two point five kz Okay
the classic rock station. Of course, the big news this week is that
Danny Bonaducci announced his retirement. Allweek long, we are celebrating the life

(13:35):
and the career of Danny Bonaducci.You've worked with so many people in the
past. Do We have interviewed somany people in the past, But joining
us now is somebody that you workedwith I believe was it Detroit? I'm
not sure. I don't know whothe person is yet John Heffren, No
way, Where did you work withhim? I worked with him in Detroit

(13:56):
and he's a wonderful guy and superfunny. By the way, he was
the win of last Comics standing withsome of the best comics in the country,
and my buddy John Heffern pulled itoff. Well, you guys worked
together. He was the sidekick tothe Danny Bannadoucci Show. Joining the show
now is John Heffrin. Hey,John, how the hell have you been?
Good morning, Danny and everybody.How are you guys? Oh,

(14:18):
I'm for one and very good,although I'm freaked out a little bit by
the fact that I'm retiring. Sohow the hell are you? Well,
you know what, I'm calling youfrom a costco So it actually feels like
I'm doing in an old school likecall in, Like some sales department made
me show up here and not payme, and I gotta like tell everyone
to get down here. And wegot some station coosies and a pissed off

(14:41):
intern who doesn't want to be workingwith me. Are you sad you're retiring
from all of that, Danny?No, I gotta tell you. You
put it pretty right. That's theway it goes, right when the sales
department comes in and goes, canyou wake up early on a Saturday and
go to the shoe hut from twoto four? And you're like, no,
I'd rather I had to be atyou know, some dumb bar parents.

(15:03):
Anyway, on the what is here? Dude? I was trying to
think of me knowing you and inthe stories that I had in the short
time that I worked with you,I'm just gonna I'm just gonna bullet point
them and maybe people won't even getthe full story. OKAYO one, me
and your mother trying to out drinkRussians in Japan. That happened? Ye?

(15:26):
Did that really happen, John?Yeah? That really happened. Yeah,
in Japan. We were in someconference center in Japan for the Olympics
and I'm I'm like only twenty something, so I can hang missus Vanni.
She had a bottle of vodka.There were these Russian guys on some Russian
team and everybody was doing shots andI'm kind of shy and I'm not talking

(15:52):
anybody. But then I realized Iam so drunk that I have to leave.
So I kind of go back tomy room, all asleep, pass
out. Now I'm starving. Igo back to finding betting machine. Vona
Ducci's mom is still drinking with thesewith these large men, like three hours
later. It was insane. Okay, So there's that great story that's always

(16:15):
with me. Then there was atime we went to a Matchbox twenty concert
here in me in Michigan, andwe're in a Matt Fox twenty concert.
Me and Danny are walking. Someguy says you too suck, right,
So so Danny's hears it and wekeep walking, and then Danny gets to

(16:37):
the end of the row. We'reat this outdoor empathisty. I'll never forget
it's Row JJ. Danny takes offhis shirt and then proceeds to challenge everybody
sitting in Row JJ to a fistfight, which is weird because listen, you
go to a Matchbox twenty concert,you think you're relatively free of fist fights.

(17:03):
I mean, there might be some. There might be some crying because
there's a boyfriend that didn't want tobe there. But you don't think there's
gonna be a fistfight or guy takenoff a shirt. There's that one.
Then there was a time where aboutfive ambulances, three police helicopters all swore
me going to a remote because littlebit knows to me and we canly.

(17:25):
I'll say to anybody in the whowas at the show. A girl fakes
a car accident in front of me, gets out of the car, fakes
fighting with another girl. Cops showup, one cop falls, They say,
officer down. Now we have helicopters. Oh gee. And then I'm
sitting in the back of the copcar and they're listening to our show.

(17:47):
And I just heard Vona Jucci saying, have friend ask if the donuts donut?
That was all that was before sevenpoint thirty. And then there was
another time and I told this storya million times, uh, and this
would this would be a good oneto go out on. Uh. We
I think this, you know,how like you have some memories in there

(18:11):
wrong, so I could be justwrong with you know. It was it
was the nineties. I did afew hits ecstasy back then. So like
my brain could be a little muddy. We were interviewing Janet Jackson and Danny
said, she's she's performing at JoeLouis Areena, but she was performing at
the Palace of Auburn Hills. Sohe shakes his paper and points to Matt,

(18:33):
our producer, and Dan she's kindof pointing at it, meaning I
even know what he was saying.He was saying, hey, right,
the right, right, right,the right place down, So I don't
care. M Matt throws his handsup in that that Jesus moved that soccer
players do is like, what whatdid I do? Right? So then
I no longer seen Matt and Dannyanymore. Now they've taken the discussion to

(18:57):
the ground, but Janet Jackson isstill talking to us on the phone.
I would ask the Jana Jackson aquestion, but she would give a one
word answer, and I needed liketwo sentences off of her so I could
see who's on top of what's goingon on the other side. So I
go, Janet, what's your favoritepop tart? And it's a I don't

(19:21):
even know why I ask, AndI pushed my chair over and I get
close enough to everybody and I'm grabbingI somehow get knocked in the back of
the head. So then after theshow, right, I've always are who
did it? So at the endof the show, I leave, I
go home, and the girl wasdating at the time comes to my house
and says, what you know,why'd you buy the VCR? And I

(19:42):
got I didn't buy a VCR,and you go, yeah, you did,
there's one right there. I go, I don't remember buying that.
And then she goes, well,what's the matter with you? I go,
nothing, I just left this showand I came in. I bought
uh, I get you know,I guess I bought a v CR,
and oh, I don't remember buyingthe vc So then we went to the
hospital. I had a minor concussionand I don't remember buying a VCR.

(20:06):
But here's what's funny. Okay,this was the mid nineties, so Danny
actually hit me so hard I wentbackwards in a full technology because I should
have bought a DVD player, youknow what I mean, Like, if
there was a little bit more weightbehind it, he would have knocked you
know, back in the beta orsomething, you know what I mean.

(20:26):
Yes, By the way, ifyou ever see a thing o where a
comedy called this John Heffern. Iwill tell you this that John Heffern won
last comic standing correct, John correct? Yeah, many months ago. Luckily
I got fired from our radio stationsand then I went on to win that

the game Sweeping the Nation. Nofor your chance to win a pair of
tickets to see Trevor Noah March twentyfourth at the Paramount Theater. Now here's
what's going on. There is somethingincorrect in the clue. Something is incorrect

(21:33):
in the clue you're about to hear, and that's going to leave you saying
no uh. And to win thetickets, you're gonna have to tell us
what is wrong with the clue.Our contestant is in Seattle. His name

(21:56):
assuming your last name is not nouh, no, it is not.
All right. Well, here isyour clue, and again, Trevor,
you have to tell us what iswrong with this clue. Trevor Noah has
listed his comedic influences as Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, The Rock, and
Dave Chappelle. He said, thoseguys have laid the foundation and moved the

(22:21):
yardstick for all comedians and not justblack comedians. No Uh, you may
have noticed something is wrong with thatclue. Can you tell us what it
was? Trevor. I'm thinking thatthe Rock should not be in this conversation.
Thinking you are correct, Trevor,all right, bonus points. Do

(22:41):
you know who he was talking about? I would say my guess would be
Richard Pryor would be my best friend. Well, Chris Rock was what was
