powerful and personal topic writing a book. Most people talk

code M I T A. But talk about you.

Speaker 7 (04:17):
You know you want to talk to Joe about your book.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
But to deal with Joe was I read his book,
he read my book and they are similarities, right, So
for me. I was traveling back and forth to uh To.
Jackie was going to school in Florida, and I was
on the plane.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I feel like I'm always filling in the details for
folks listening. Jackie, of course, is Arthur's daughter.

Speaker 7 (04:37):
Yes, yeah, she's on the commercial.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
So I was trying to solve some problems and it
came to me and I'm like, how do I solve
this problem, you know, And I relied on.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
A story, So I said, just any problem.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, it was a general life act issue, you know.
So I was like, okay, and it came up with
a story. So I wrote it down and then I
it led into another story. So the stories are all
little lessons learned in life, you know, like to cover
you know, could be the little rascals, could be my dad,
could be my uncle, could be an accident, right, these
little pockets of life that guide me in this situation.

(05:17):
So it's not an autobiography. It's just these stories popping
in my head, right that give me direction.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
But when was the moment that you thought this should
be a book?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
When I got to some of the deeper issues and
I thought maybe that my survival could help someone, and
also that you know, the whole New world were more
TikTok or google it or we get the you know,
how do we find answers in the new world?

Speaker 7 (05:42):
Right?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
So it was a combination of those things, and it
was when I felt my stories might help someone exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
And this is the question that I think I know
the answer to. But was writing your book more about
raising awareness, sharing your journey or inspiring action?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, to be honest, it was to try and prevent suside,
that's the subliminal part of it.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
You know, I can't just let that go, you said.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
So the book was you didn't want suicide because you
don't you know, which is a pandemic nowadays in America,
especially when you're younger, and because all that you went through,
because you and you made the book inspirational.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
I mean, this is deep, but it was I don't
know how you prevent it because it's kind of an
internal self decision. So my goal was you can't say
so no, hang in there, buddy. They have to believe
in themselves, so they have to find their own.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
Way to stay alive. But Joe, the connection is so deep.
I love it.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
But when you were writing your book, how did you
fix the stories like these are pieces of your life.
You took entire life?

Speaker 7 (06:48):
What are you like? Ninety two now so.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Alive forever?

Speaker 7 (06:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Maybe?

Speaker 5 (06:56):
Then I wrote the very first song, yea, who were.

Speaker 8 (07:02):
You know?

Speaker 4 (07:02):
What I put? I wanted to just uh.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
The the compartmentalization of the book I left up pretty
much to Scott Lamb who wrote it, because I I
and I just spilled everything out and then I just
edited on the book average show I'll get for you
seconds just to plug it. But on the book, I
just like wanted to address heritage. I wanted to address
love of country. I wanted to love of love of faith.

(07:29):
So I had all those things going on in my mind.
And then I handed it off to the publisher, you know,
and to Scott Lamb. They kind of compartmentalized it and
he did a great show. He did the kid he did.
I had to give him a lot of credit. Did
you have a did you have somebody doing that for
your team?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
You know yourself is fairly ridiculous. But what I know
is about your book, I can tell, right, And that's
why the connection of two guys who aren't all that
bright wrote books. You know, you put together your life
experiences and you know, flaw and successes in your own way,
as Frank would sing, and.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
It is inspirational.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
You know, you did get core values out of it,
and I think that that is a cool theme. But
in my head as mine started coming out, I kind
of saw value with them. Did you see that in
your book?

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yeah it was therapeutic. Yeah it wastly therapeutic. But you
know what, you know what I have to say that
just the lighten it up. But if I may, I
didn't write a lot of stuff. I held back because
I didn't want to be nigtive that I didn't want
to be native. I didn't want to be like I
could because I could. You know, I'm Italian, so I
don't talk, you know.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
But boy, oh boy, I could have spilled the beats.
I mean I could have. And not only that between
us guys, it's like, because you know, Arthur.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Knows, I've been married a couple of times. I got
a lot of kids, and.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
There's there's there's listen, there's x's there's moms of the children.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
And that's the way you always got to understand first
and foremost there are moms and the children.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
And I respected that first and foremost book.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
But but I have a pack for my children now,
and I said, and we talk about this, We talk
about all the rough times we went through, and we did.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
And I didn't put him in the book, Arthur.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
I did not because I you know, but we talked
about with the kids and I told the kids, look,
when dad dies, it could be sooner than later. You know,
I said, go to Lifetime, Netflix, make the movie, make
sure you check the mom but spill the beans because.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
They'll pay a fortune for it. They'll pay a fortune
for it. Huh, is that right? You know?

Speaker 3 (09:27):
And along those lines, I had the good fortune to
hang out with Ben Carson at his house the other day. Yeah,
he'd be me in three games of pools straight. And
I wasn't really thrilled with that, his lack of ability
to succeed in politics because he wouldn't talk down about
other people. Yeah, you know, and he certainly could, just

(09:50):
like you could have spilled the beans on a million things.
But there's something about humility and trying to get a
message across that's not attacking, which seems to be the
model nowadays. Right, Yeah, the beade you attack these people,
and you know, then it'll be a success.

Speaker 7 (10:05):
I agree. Let your kids do it. Get some money,
you know, hey, but.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
I get Can we talk about Bank Carson. How great
is this guy?

Speaker 5 (10:13):
I was so happy when I saw you with Bank
because we were at the White House.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
I went with Joey.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
During the first Trump administision, my big boy, and we
walked in and and it was like for the Chinian
American uh, the celebration, you know.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
And and so we're walking in and there was Bank Carson,
all myself and one of the grooms man, and and
you walk right over to him, I said, doctor Carson,
joe Biscopo, my son, Joey, I do.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
What a nice guy, what a heart.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
But you and Ben Carson together, I mean, it's a
it's a wonderful marriage.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
And I just love it, you know.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
I think it's, you know, in the world of like
you said, of coming out right now and trying to
put messages of strength and pet he is, that's who
he is, you know. And it was the coolest part
one of them was I was like coming up with
a story about faith or what I believe, and he
would quote scripture. Wow, yeah, wow, the same message that

(11:07):
I came from, you know, throwing a rock.

Speaker 6 (11:10):
Yes, the truth.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
But to connect to Joe, we both have a chapter
in our book about few money.

Speaker 7 (11:16):
So these these underlying ens all the.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Way back to the Bible where we're shooting pool and
I'm telling the Goofy story and then he quotes scripture,
He's quotes Palms for eighty two or whatever that word is.
So it's kind of shows that these foundational thoughts and
beings exist from the beginning of time. You know, when
we write books, we have the ability to kind of

(11:40):
share the modern version and how we came to those things.
And I was curious in your head, how, you know, said.

Speaker 7 (11:48):
Joe write a book. Yeah, you had to pick these stories.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah, I did, you know.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
I went through it and then we categorize it, We
did the blueprint, and then I met we met with
the publisher then in Tennessee where they were they've said
we're going to green light the book like that, and
it was you know, and then I just said, okay,
let me, let me compartmentalize it. And then I knew
I wanted, you know, they always want to catch like
a kind of a catch to the book. And of
course it was Saturday Night Live, so I have so

(12:15):
many stories.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Is that a hardship from talking to an audience and
then putting the words down for a reader.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
You know what it's.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
It's that's a great question, and it's it is a
learned You have to learn that craft.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
I knew it.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
I went to school, believe it or not, and I
actually graduated college.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
I know, hard to believe. I know what you're thinking.
I knew that was it was a little college. I
couldn't get it anywhere else.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
So I went to the only school that accepted me
in America, down to Florida.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Of course, what a surprise.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
And but but you know what, I learned communication and
then my life, and we put it in the book.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
You know.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
It took the turns of just going out doing comedy.
I gotta try comedy, So I put all those things
in the n SNL, you know.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
And then the bumps and the bruises.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
Well yeah, and he's leading right into the jitda graph
sement yes, which is a break.

Now on iHeartRadio more of the Man in the Arena
the Life Back Radio Show. Here again are Arthur Lee
and Rick Thatcher, Joe Olpiscopal.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
There is average Joe.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
This is the book.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
We got one of these things, and I appreciate you. Yeah,
pish his book. Push push the book. We get this
one get We should do a deal out of the
life fact. As we shut it.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
Friday, we'll talk you, Yeah, trying the price of one?

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah about Friday night.

Speaker 7 (16:09):
Well wait, oh, let's stick with this.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
So, Joe, when we had Jim Kerr on, when he
told the story, you saw it like he told the
story about a guy that choked to death in a bar.

Speaker 7 (16:19):
But he told it like you would tell a story.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
But I could see the bar, I could feel it,
I could take it did light like he had the ability.

Speaker 7 (16:26):
And that's kind of what you got to do in
the book.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Right. So what I found is my stories I see
in my head very clearly, right, some memories I don't
know we were talking about. You got three thousand pictures
on your phone, but only a couple of them really
hit you, you know, like I had one where you wrote
in your book, page seventy six, people asked me what
it was like to be on stage at the Improv

(16:49):
when I was new, untested, unknown? What did I see
when I looked up from the stage. How did I feel?
What was going through my mind? So take that moment
and when you wrote that, what did you see?

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Fear?

Speaker 5 (17:04):
Fear scared out of my mind because you got I'll
tell you what. Look you know again, you get out
of college. Your parents are doing good that your grandparents
blazed the path, came from another country, they learned the
language and learned the laws, they become American and now
their grandson and to my parents, their sons going to
be a comedian.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
They's something that really so now.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
But but I but if I can do it, I'm
gonna I'm gonna make it.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
And that was in my mind. So when when we
would go to the improv forty fourth and.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
Ninth, Hell's Kitchen, and it was as dank and it
makes New York is spectacular compared to the way it
was back then. It was dangerous and people you came
out of Lincoln Tunnel. You were propositioned with drugs and
other things that you can imagine.

Speaker 7 (17:50):
It was.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
It was unbelievable. People would get whacked.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
And there I was walking in meeting unknowns and the
unknowns were Larry David. The unknowns were Jerry Seinfeld, the
unknowns Gilbert gotfried, you know, and then and then you
would be you would be there just hanging in this dank,
dark bar in forty fourth and night. There was no lights.
I mean, there were fights. It was it was dangerous

(18:13):
just to be there. And then oh, yeah, you're up next.
You're up next. You got five minutes. So that's when
your throat goes really drunk.

Speaker 7 (18:21):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Facing fear is another freaking chaptain. But you're what are
you off stage?

Speaker 9 (18:27):
Like?

Speaker 7 (18:27):
Is it high? Is it like? What? What was that like?

Speaker 4 (18:31):
You walk in, you walked into your probably was like
to the right was the bar. So it was bar.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
So you had some some like booths, but there was
a bar and it was dark and you couldn't see anybody,
and it was really it was it was like really
really old and just like a they say a hole
in the wall, but it really I don't want.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
To disrespect it.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
But then you would walk up and you would go
up a little area to the front with the front
door to your left, and then you go into the show,
the improv showroom, and there were about one hundred and
fifty seats, maybe two hundred tops.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
And it was all like tables hodgepodge.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
Bud Freeman put it all together like a Hodgepodge tables here,
a couple of booths down there, and a small room
and in the corner of the room, way in the
back was the stage, a brick wall. Behind you there
was a stage and like a little pin spotlight. So
now when they go you're up next, you have to
walk from the back of the bar.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
You gotta go right at that spot that I'm just
telling you about where you could see everything unfold. You
could hear is the crowd good? Is it not good?
Are they laughing? Were they laughing before? Who was on before? You?

Speaker 5 (19:40):
All this goes through your mind, you know. And it
was a do or die situation. And I went in
in front of a full house. It was a full house,
and they said, all right, you're up now. It was
like two o'clock in the morning. It was the check
spot and you asked. I think, yeah, see, you know what.
The check spot now exampled a whole night, they've seen
a thousand comedians, and then they give you a check
for six hundred bucks. After that, nothing's funny after that.

(20:03):
I gotta do this for you, all right, nothing funny
of it.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
Your first time up, you get the check spot two
in the morning.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
And then they go, they go jump up.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
I jumped on stage, and you gotta walk through the crowd,
and then's so crowded.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
You gotta excuse me, excuse me, step on stage and
then you gotta hit it.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
That the thing that happened to me. Now again, you
can't see anything. You got the white light in your eyes.
You can't see anything. The only thing you can see
possibly is the light that is at the doorway that
I just mentioned.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
There's a light. They blink it if you go on
too long.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
Right.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
So I started my set and it wasn't great.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
And then somebody started to heckle me to my left
down front, and you can't see so and now and
and so instinctively, I don't know what happened. It was
the grace of God. And I said, Paul, you're gonna
heckle me dressed like.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
That or something like that.

Speaker 11 (20:51):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (20:52):
You know what I mean? Really and then and that's
your girlfriend and my sympathies. But I mean I went
for it. I did.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
I was Wrinkles for two boom bo bob. I ended
up doing fifteen minutes and I killed, by the grace of.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
God, it killed. Hey holy but and I was a
regular from there on that.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Now, when you tell Cory right, like a lot of
these stories, there's one more actually what I asked you about.

Speaker 7 (21:14):
But you could see it.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
You could see that, you could see that moment in time,
and you could see it, feel it. The fear of
the jubilation may be coming off, like, oh my god, it's.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
That right, It's true.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
I think that's part of like if we were to
someone listening about writing a book, that those moments of
the clarity. Right, I remember that moment, I remember throwing
the marshmallow. I remember standing on the boat so clear.
I remember what I did this morning.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Do you remember the first joke that really hit the audience?

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, no, it's a.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
Good question, though I would do I did a Tom
Snyder impression, did parallel Danny Akroit and He's my hero.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Danny's my hero.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
Andy Kaufman was there and he was an influence, brilliant
and Andy would do this this really out there, you know, what.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
In the world is he doing comedy? But I would
do the Frank Sinatr character.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
I did the Lady as a tramp, but I never
ended the song. I just kept on coming around.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
That's why the Lady, That's why the Lady. They got
so ridiculous. They got big lifts, please, and that's gonna
be the job by SNL.

Speaker 7 (22:22):
By the way, what torturing version?

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Oh man?

Speaker 7 (22:29):
I got another one?

Speaker 3 (22:30):
And I asked the guys before we came on, because
in your book you talk about you and Eddies uh boof,
I don't know, that's why.

Speaker 7 (22:38):
Where did you come up with?

Speaker 4 (22:44):
Probably probably more buff? Probably more buff, you know what
I'll tell you. And writing that, I said, I'll never
be able to translate that. How do I translate that?
So by I'm glad you asked, because.

Speaker 5 (22:56):
Eddie and I but we would be read through and
if something or we'd be better yet, let's go right
to the air. And if something didn't work, there was
he would Eddie would do what he would call a
stink look.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
That was Eddie's description, and we would go and we
would do it.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
We would look at each other it wasn't working, and
we just had it was really six smile on the.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Face and we would go like, I so listen, listen, listen.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
So it was like so when something did work, that
was like catturre like that, just like there's nothing you
could do. It was a great It was. I have
been with Eddie in an experience experiences all over and
and matter of fact, when I first saw him after
many many years, I think it was on the fortieth
anniversary of SNL and we're there.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
We didn't know what we were doing.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
We showed up and I said, ed, how are you meant?
I gave him a big ug man, I said, good
to see you again, and in my ear he goes.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
But see, I was so curious about the way that
actually sounded, because if you and that this is a
wingman part, we all have those kind of that looks
like all the time that we're.

Speaker 7 (24:04):
Like yeah right or you know, uh yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
So I think that's another kind of intimate piece of something.
We see stars and then it takes at the BA
and they both laugh because they're both in sync.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
And I'll tell you it was it would keep. We
would just have so much fun. But I got to you.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
Did it take a while?

Speaker 5 (24:27):
It was a great question, but I felt comfortable and
I just my heart just came out. So say with
you second, Stay with you a second. Guys, if I
make because this it goes all over. But this is
really a New York thing. When I was working in Arizona,
this is how I learned to find myself. I think
I did a show. By the grace of God, it

(24:49):
worked out well, you know, talked about So I'm walking
off and I had my phone and my one of
my exes. I'm gonna be very honest here. So one
of my exes boyfriend friends, you know, we call them
the Mama Luke, that guy, you know, Yeah, the Mama Luke,
the Mama Look, the Mama Luke starts. He's coasted the
newspaper saying, Joe's not paying his child support or something

(25:11):
like that. And I'm paying and I'm always on time,
paying a fortune, you know what I mean, And and
and the guy put it, and then the local paper
in Jersey printed it.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Guys, they printed that. So this is I don't.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
I don't think I put them. I didn't put this
in the book. So now I'm thinking, who is this guy?

Speaker 4 (25:28):
What? So now I got to answer that because it's
a lie.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
And the newspapers now they will print a lie before
they call you. You know that back then the newspapers,
this had to be twenty years ago. So now I go,
I call. I said, uh, I gotta come on, I
gotta come on. We gotta talk about this. I went
on and I just ripped it up and right from
my gut, my heart.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't know where it came from, but I learned
how to commune.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
And it was very inappropriate, by the way, and I
don't I don't want anything going back and listening because
at all please but but you know what people, I mean,
people said, God show, that was brilliant.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
It was survival. It was because I was just telling
the truth. It was organic and it was truthful my point.

Speaker 7 (26:13):
And that's what I got from Jim Kerr. And then
what I've.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
Lots the king Man, Jim Kerr is the key, he's
the best.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
He spent time with him, and that's when my moment
of the power of the radio and the intimacy and
gentleness and the you can't see you have to convey
from your heart. Right, that's it and and that's what
I dig about it. We barely know what we're doing.
Do we know what we're doing?

Speaker 4 (26:37):
You know that's not right here?

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Listen, that's just so good back and forth or when
you're on TV or your voice comes on radio, because
you're such in my opinion, you're such a good guy
and much love.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
It comes to you can't fake it.

Speaker 6 (26:52):
You can't.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
You know what, guys, You could fake this. You could
fake video, you could fake a film. You could be
on stage and do a little Dan. You can't fake radio.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
I know they hear it. People hear am I right?

Speaker 7 (27:04):
Arthur? Oh god, I love beat off with you.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
We have fun because no matter what we're talking about,
we wind up interjecting something silly or.

Speaker 7 (27:13):
It's such a cool medium for sharing.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
You know.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
I have a question for I have a question for
Joe because you left some of the more salacious details
out or maybe the negative stuff. You see, the book
is part of you, like a part of your legacy,
because you're such a positive individual, and how do you
want it to be remembered?

Speaker 4 (27:33):
The book? You know what just that I was. It's
it's a survival story.

Speaker 7 (27:39):
Yeah, you're gonna make it.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
It's a it's a it's a lesson is survival. Man,
it's your prepper for life. You know, these preppers go
out and prepp with the house. They go, they get
all the food and everything because good they're waiting for
homor getting and then this book is a prepper.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Uh for survival and getting through life.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Because I think it's going back to your guysat you
did it your way and the things and you did
nothing and learned something. I mean, anyone looked at your
career from the comic to Sad It Live to movies
hook once and that's a cool story too. But we

(28:17):
had you, thank.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
You, thank you, mister. You know what that was that
you know we had that we had.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
I think Georgia Galler wrote the script Norman Steinberg to
they wrote, me and me and Danny DeVito go up
to the resorts, to the to the concierge, and and
we stole Frankie the Fixers card, the Gangsters card.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, and his name was.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
Frank Abano, right, and and so now we put the
card down and we wait to see what happens. And
then and then, and the guy behind the desk looks
at he goes, thank you, mister.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Me and Danny looked at each other and we went
thank you, mister.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
I mean said as a red man for a generation
of two quotes, hung me on a hook once and
thank you miss Doom. I probably said both of them
one hundred times more an all the time it's someone
pays the bill thought, thank you.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Now we got we got a few minutes. I'm wondering
if there's another book like after you've done it. I
remember this quote from The Odd Couple. I hate writing,
but love having written. I'm not sure where it originated. Good,
But the question is.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
When you finished Oscar Madison. Now we'll talk away. You
have something funny. Tell him what you just talked about
before we came out.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Tom Petty, did you know you're included in Tom Petty?

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Oh yeah, you know, you know, you know wrote it
with Petty. Guys, you don't wrote it with Petty. Bob Dylan.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Picture this. All of a sudden, he comes out Petty
needs a metaphor for television and used Lynn Redgrave and
I think he's somebody else, but he said, take back
Eddie Murphy take Back Joe Piscopal. I thought it was
one of the coolest things that ever happened.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
Yeah, you're a Petty song, and I don't wait a minute,
and look who wrote it. Dylan and Petty are sitting
around going and Dylan's going, you know who Joe Bisco is?

Speaker 9 (30:15):
You do?

Speaker 4 (30:16):
I'm going like And then I went to Eddie and
I said, hey, we're in the Tom Petty song. And
then he said, who's Tom Petty? True true story?

Speaker 7 (30:28):
Now did you find out by hearing the song? Or
did they tell you about it?

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Uh, it's a good question.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
I think I probably heard it remember here, And I
actually thought it was kind of cool. It got the
meaning of it, you know, Yeah, and Petty seemed like
a nice enough guy that it wasn't gonna be mean.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
It was a good metaphor. It was very well. Was
jamming me as one of the great rock songs of
all time?

Speaker 6 (30:49):
You know that?

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (30:51):
I don't with you guys.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
No, that's a good but I did.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
I want one of my best friends is in the
Petty cover band. I know it sounds silly, but these
guys are really good. It's a Petty cover band, pure Petty.
I think it's called and they and I was there
and we were doing an event for law enforcement against
drugs in Land City and they were they were the band.
I said, are you kidding me? And they played jam
and me. I went front center and they sagured it

(31:19):
was great.

Speaker 7 (31:21):
You and your son got to do that. The next
event that you come.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
To, oh, we want to talk about that. We want
to talk about the event more. Joe Piscopal thanks in
the area.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
She started to choke on a piece of candy.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
She wasn't breathing.

Speaker 10 (31:34):
Then Ray reached for the life back and it saved her.

Speaker 12 (31:38):
She could have easily died that day. A life back
saved her life. What I would say is, don't need
a life back and not have it. Have a life
back and hopefully never need it.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
And now, so talk about a little about these these
great people that you've endorsed.

Brian will lose I'll lose them, You'll see. He's just
can I my pro I can always lose weight? Can

it's basically they just call and yell at you. Now
they don't yell at you. They guide you through the
process and they're very positive. And you have you're doing
all the work.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Pat, you're doing great, and you have a great support network,

Yeah, the new market have three wardrobes, fat, obese, and
O God, it's moving towards me and I'm moving from
O God it moving told me just to a beef
that's next.

Speaker 7 (47:16):
Keep going.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
I think the I think the question that I have
to ask as your acting partner in the skits, the
historical skits, is are there going to be wardrobe malfunctions
because of the way laws?

Speaker 10 (47:26):
No, it It'll be a little more realistic because there
wasn't that many bloated people.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Franklin was.

Speaker 7 (47:33):
He was a player, wasn't big Yeah, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Listen, this is the portion of the show where we
at the end of the show we normally get back
to talking about live fact, talking about mister three thousand,
Ray Prieby and the totals for the week, because as
we're rapidly approaching five thousand lives saying the world wide,
it's terribly exciting. There's all kinds of contests and talks
of contests and the details are forthcoming. But you know

(48:00):
we have Ray Pribes not here tonight. We have someone
guest star. Guest star even better than Ray better different.

Speaker 7 (48:09):
You're on the it's our first woman in the arena.
That is our first woman three thousands.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
We welcome the inspiration Jackie, welcome.

Speaker 9 (48:19):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Do you know you're the first woman to do Miss
the three thousands. You're the first Miss Miss.

Speaker 6 (48:26):
Three thousand and the youngest person.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Yes, we're ancient, sore, We fired up.

Speaker 7 (48:33):
How's that work going on?

Speaker 2 (48:34):
I'll tell you what it's the toad for. Let's go
to the toadboard. Body, Yes today? Yeah, four lives?

Speaker 6 (48:40):
Is that Forney?

Speaker 9 (48:42):
You're at now? At three?

Speaker 7 (48:45):
Not three?

Speaker 9 (48:45):
Oh my goodness. Four thousand, three hundred eighty nine live
saved worldwide, including two thousand, six hundred and eighty two children.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Well he now, but you know what we we we
were a little light or we were and it is good.

Speaker 7 (49:03):
That's a lot of families that aren't devastated, right.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
And that's the ones that report Yeah, that's just the
one where trust me, we've been all out there where
someone's come up and said, I use it. But I
think it's a moment of gratitude that we were able
all to work towards this goal.

Speaker 7 (49:18):
And then when you say two six hundred and eighty
two children.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
That's family, family, church, everyone that's still got their little kid,
they still have their baby, and four three hundred and
eighty nine lives that have not been so disrupted and destroyed.
So the cool thing that you now get to do
is the slight light and the State of the Week.

Speaker 9 (49:41):
On July nineteenth, a fourteen month old girl from New
Jersey choked on a blueberry joke while having a seizure.
The blueberry closed a total blockage in her airway, causing
rescue protocol. Choking rescue protocol was followed. The patient was unconscious.
Life back successfully dislodged the fruit on the second attempt.
Then the story from the Good Samaritan is the child

(50:05):
had a seizure, aspirated and choked on blueberries. We were
at the baseball tournament for my son, one of the
siblings of the team playing before us, was choking. Someone yelled,
she's choking. They quickly ran to the parking lot to
get my life back device. Two nurses and one of
our coaches, who is also a police officer for already

(50:25):
working on her. They quickly opened the package, laid her down,
and just after two attempts, were able to get a
few blueberries out. The ambulance took around twenty minutes to
get to the field.

Speaker 7 (50:35):
So that was a good samaritan. Say, that was someone
that was at a game.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
Brought their life back, which is really kind of another
important thing that should be known.

Speaker 6 (50:44):
That with trained professionals on top of her and it
wasn't working.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Yet, And that's I think that's probably why they picked this,
because you know, God bless them and they're are heroes.
They are trained, but it shows it doesn't always work.
It doesn't matter how great they are. The first one
human body.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
The first story that you heard was a hospital setting
where yeah.

Speaker 7 (51:05):
It didn't work, and she was seven at the time.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Yeah, we remind everyone filling in for mister three thousand
is the young lady who was the young girl.

Speaker 7 (51:15):
At the time. The kid.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
She was lost to a beautiful woman. Sorry, her mom
is here, go back to dad was next to me.
I know I can have blueberries. I better bring your life.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
Like yeah, you always have one though. I appreciate that.
But yeah, it's important to know that. We want them
to go from seven to twenty and sit next to
us and read about child being saved.

Speaker 7 (51:42):
Particularly, this is the new world. This is the way
the world really is. What else?

Speaker 10 (51:46):
How about the twenty six two thousand, six hundred eight
two kids that will have problems. We'll go to college,
ye have kids, weddings, all that other stuff.

Speaker 6 (51:54):
Just think about that, you know, and some of the
good stuff.

Speaker 7 (51:56):
Babies You're like, they didn't walk it, you know.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
I think about if Raye pre b who was mister
three thousand ordinarily in this spot, hadn't had his own life. Fact,
there were two good Samaritans that came that. That's an
amazing Another amazing part of that story is that there
are people out there that were ready to help.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
And it's cool that, you know, Jackie shared this story
because we're starting to get a very negative image of everything.
There are still good people. That person ran to their
car to save some kids, didn't even though, and jump
right in and and you know was helped by an
officer and a nurse.

Speaker 7 (52:31):
So let's not get too negative on our lives.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
It's easy to get to think everyone's out to steal
their stuff.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
The twenty four hour news cycle is not always the
best thing for our psyche. So this is I gotta say,
this is one of my favorite shows. Jackie is what
do you think? Great show?

Speaker 6 (52:53):
I thought that was too much of me.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
