I have a thumb that's killing me. Now would you
believe this? I rolled over in my bed last night
onto my thumb and.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
I heard my thumb go kirk kerk crack so I.

Speaker 6 (01:41):
Think I did something to my thumb. Now, how many
people out there roll over on their thumbs?

Speaker 4 (01:48):
Not many? I mean, how did I do that? That's stupid.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
Whatever I did, if I rolled over on it, I
bent it backwards or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
And everybody too. You can see it. Crooked brook at
my thumb. Crooked thumb. Anyway, one more thing to add
to being eighty five.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
That's a wonderful age because now your thumb's break.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Everything breaks.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
But all in all, I like being alive and I'm
happy and things are going well, so I'm not going
to complain about a thumb. There you go, right, that cares?
Who cares?

Speaker 4 (02:24):
So we want to thank everybody for tuning into last
week's show. We didn't have a guest and we got
twenty thousand views on YouTube, so that's pretty good. So
thanks everybody, and we want to welcome people in the

booth dang, So thanks for making the promo. We're gonna

(02:45):
have a fun show today, you guys. We have and
I do not own Russell Athletics. I wish you did.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
Wish I did. You're wishing I did if I own
Russell Athletics. You think I'd be married to you?

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Share you what I what? Have divorced you a long
time ago.

Speaker 6 (03:01):
Got my got myself a twenty five year old young
beauty fIF I'm a sixty one year old old with
a sixty two year old maixty one, a sixty one
year old bag.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
I would go.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
Keep a nice young guy. I don't mind keeping somebody.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
If I was rich, I feel rich, but it's not
going to happen.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
My own Russell Athletics. That's a big company. But I
wore the Russell today, and I wore black because my dog,
who I love, and his nails clicked and they shattered
and now they are needles. He jumped all over my
arm and caused black bruising. I'm so bruised. I had

(03:47):
to wear a long sleeve shirt. I managine, my little sweetheart. Yes,
my legs, my legs look like they were punctured. I
wear shots, so my legs are all full of holes.
We have to do something about those nails shimming.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I know well.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
The groomer has to file them, not just clip them.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
You gotta file. He won't lay you. He won't let anything, well,
you know, hold him down a little punk. Well, I
can't go through life covering up with holes. So you're
gonna wear pants soon because it's going to be cold,
and then you won't have any of those things. The
next six months move to Florida, I'll be wearing shorts. Yeah,
I know, I will have to deal with it. Then
maybe there's a groomer there that you'll like. He won't

(04:27):
let anybody touch his feet. It's very difficult. I can
clip two of his toenails at a time, but those
he does because they're not doing it correctly. They're using tweets. Yeah,
we use the same clipper that the dogs place use.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
No, no, there's there's other things now. Now they have
things where you stick their nails in it. It's like
a like I used to shopping pencils years ago.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
They have that thing, o't They don't do that at
the groomer.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
Though, Well, we have to find some players that makes
his nails smooth. He's only seven pounds, but when you
have seven pounds with four needles jabbing you, you get hurt. Anyway,
so much for that book.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
We love the dogs. What Dog's on to? Anybody excited?
We have very exciting guests. I'm super super excited. Our
very first guest is Katherine Sutherland. You guys, Katherine Sutherland.
She's a power Ranger, one of my favorite shows. I
collect all the action figures. I'm super duper excited. She's
also from Australia, and I wonder if she'll know some
of the other big Australian guests we've had on the show.

(05:25):
Should be a lot of fun. And then we have
we have entertainer, host, interviewer, a celebrator of performing arts,
Richard Skipper coming on, who was actually on our show
about twelve years ago.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
I know Skipper. Oh my god, somebody he's still alive, Skipper.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
He's my age. Well that's old. I know Skipper, Richard Skipper.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
Rich I know him from New York when he used
to imitate No, he used to imitate no.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Impersonate, impersonate Dolly pot No, hello dog?

Speaker 6 (06:02):
What's her name? Who was a friend of mine who
I liked very much. Oh this is this is I
should really go into a home. I think it's time, Jimmy,
we put me in a home and of course I'm
not remembering things.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Carol Channing.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Carol chan How could I forget Carol Channing one of
the nicest people I've ever known. She lived here in
Palm Springs and we were quite friendly, and she was
she always thought I was gorgeous looking and handsome, which
made me feel so good all the time she called
me handsome or gorgeous, and I called her gorgeous and talented.

(06:39):
And Skip used to imitate her, impersonate her, and he
did a good job. So we'll talk about that when
the Skip comes on.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Absolutely. Also, I want to thank everybody who's been tuning

almost sixty thousand plays on YouTube. It's a great show,
and they were great guests, and today's going to be
a great show too. You can listen to the Jimmy
Shy don't you know? How do you Wallace?

Speaker 6 (07:25):
His boyfriend made out because you have the same trouble
I had with the overdosing us with paynkell as Will
getting surgery and he also went into a little dimented world.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
And she I have her email so we can email her,
and she.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Was worried, so she was so happy to hear that
I recovered and I'm back to my nutty self absolutely.

Speaker 4 (07:49):

so you can hear us on all the different platforms.
We want to thank everybody for tuning in every weekend.

(08:10):
And we're going into a good time with lots of
great guests coming up, I think, so, I think we're
going to have a really fun time with all of it. Yes,
and what's.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
Good about our show is that we're real. We're not fake,
and we talk about things that everybody talks about, not
just movie people. You know, like my thumb. Who gets
a shit about my thumb? But I talked about it
because if I was at a lunch with a friend
of mine, I'd say, you know, I hurt my thumb.
I rolled over on it now, which.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Brings me too.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
Men while they're sleeping get I don't know how many erections,
but we're told we've got many erections while we sleep. Now,
if I roll over with my erection, will I break
my penis? Because I did my finger, So now I'm
concerned about rolling over in my bed. So I thought
I would drill a huge hole.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
In my mattress. Did you notice that we said huge?

Speaker 6 (09:07):
So if I roll over with an erection, my penis
will go down the hole in the mattress and it
won't bend and break. Because you know, your phoenix is
your reason to live. Men would add a penis? Are
said people they walk through life, you know, saying they
wish they could have an erection. But you can have

(09:28):
an erection today because there's all sorts of pills to
take to do an erection. Also, there are surgeries you
can have all kinds of ways. So guys out there,
if you're imputing, which many fifty year olds are, go
seek help and get off the computer because masturbating with

(09:49):
the computer is very unhealthy. And I know so many
married men that sneak away in the middle of the
night and they go on their computer and they masturbate.
That's not good. Masturbation when you're with the person is
not healthy. Masturbation is good when you're single and you're horning,
but if you're married, don't you. Guys, don't masturbate because

(10:12):
you're cheating on your mate. You really are cheating with
that person in the in the video, So stay with
your mate, even if the sex stinks, stay with it anyway.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
That whole thing, I think that whole thing is funny,
but it's true. If you could break a thumb rolling,
that's possible. That's true. I don't actually like know because
my I did something on my shoulder and my elbow
or hurting.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
Now today I feel like I'm getting break getn't break
your penis.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Hey, Astro's just coming to say hi, everybody, So you know.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Man care. A man without a penis is a woman.
So if a man can't use his penis.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Okay, we got it. He's a woman woman anyway. Also,
I forgot to tell everybody when you all the places
that I said you can listen to us, we don't
want to forget listening to us. Live on W four CY,
our home station for like sixteen years or something. Don't
lift you in years. So so W four CY is
the bomb. And you guys, we love being on the station.

(11:16):
It's Asso out of Florida.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
And another word, I let my dog tongue kiss me
because I love my dog, and I was told by
my doctor do not do that. A dog's tongue is
not what you think it is. It does not kill
you if it licks a wound. A dog's tongue is
full of infectious diseases or germs or whatever. And you

(11:39):
can get sick from letting a dog put his tongue
in your mouth.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
But we do it anyway. No, you know, it just.

Speaker 6 (11:45):
Depends on how far down your throat you let the
door for tongue.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
But so our dog has a little tongue because he's
a little dog, so he doesn't know the dog. The
dog literally goes everywhere with us, you guys, but he's
looking to kiss me again, and I don't want him
licking my lips because I don't want dog disease.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
And there you know, there's a cat disease. Don't let
your cat look you either. I forgot what it's called.
But there's a disease you can get humans, people can
get from a cat.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
I didn't know that. As much as we.

Speaker 6 (12:14):
Love our animals, there's still animals and they have things
in them that we're not used to.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
I don't care, right, Astro, we don't care, but you
don't look Jimmy making first. Let me ensure you for
after I ensure you, after I.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Ensure you for two million, let the dog kill you.
All right, chat room, So you guys are in good shape.

first guest. Yes, first, so let's bring on our first guest.

had somebody got very upset when we called them beautiful.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
She's beautiful and I said, you are so beautiful, and
she just left the show.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
I feel bad. I feel bad for men.

Speaker 8 (13:25):
They don't quite know sometimes what they can and cannot
say anymore.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Also, though we're gay, we're married and we're gay, So
for us to tell you you're beautiful, it's an actual compliment.
We don't want anything.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
I receive it. I receive it. I think we all
need but drops put in our buckets.

Speaker 9 (13:41):
Right.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
Absolutely, what a gay man tells a woman she's beautiful,
you know he's not the next level, he's not looking
for pose, so you know that he means absolutely.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
So we're going to introduce you now real quick. Hey everybody,

I have to say, I was just listening into what
you were saying about your dog, and I do the
same thing.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
I love my dog so much.

Speaker 8 (14:34):
I got him all up in my face. But you
got to be careful because they carry lots of parasites.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
Very sick from the door.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yes, I know.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Years ago we had a mastiff and he and we
and he got into a fight with our other dog.
This is years ago, and Ron got bit in his
wrist and then I lost all the feeling here I'm
para artists. Yeah, he because of it, like five days later.
He went to the hospital and they said if he
would have waited any longer, they would have had to
cut his hand off from the diseases I would have lost.

(15:05):
It was a big one hundred and thirty pounds.

Speaker 6 (15:06):
Well, he was a huge dog. I mean he was
like a lion.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah. He had my other see, Brandy girl was my middle.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
Sized dog, and they fought over a toy and Shazam
had Brandy's head in his mouth, went down to kill him,
so I stuck my hand and to punch him in
the throat so he would open up so I could
get Brandy out. Well, Brandy fell out, but his jaws
came down on me, and it wasn't a joy at all.

(15:35):
So I've learned that dogs are wonderful, wonderful. I love
them more than anything, but be careful. They are germ carriers.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
We have three dogs. We only have one dog now,
the little one, Astro. Brandy died last summer and Sam
died the summer before, but they were all rescues.

I was looking on you enough to send you one,
say you have.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
To send me one. I'm super excited. We have had
several power Rangers or people who were on the show
on the show, so I wrote them all down. We
had Jason David Frank, believe it or not. The very
first convention I ever went to was in like the
early two thousands, and I was at a table in
a restaurant and there was no seats for anybody, and

(17:32):
Jason David Frank didn't have a seat. He just came
and said, Hey, can I sit with you? And we
became friends because he like sat with me at a convention.
So I've got a bunch of signed stuff from him.
He's fantastic. We miss him. So he was on our show.
Steve Cardinas was on our show. Serena Vincent's been on
the show a ton of times. She's a really friend mine.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
I love her.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Robert Rod was on the show. Robert, and I've recently
Jack Betts was on the show, which that was Power Rangers.
I don't think you were in his season. I'm sure
if you were in his.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
No, Jack, I'm not sorry, I know him.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah. And then I've recently been introduced to Michael Copon,
Carla Perez and Walter Jones, so I'm going to get
them on the show.

Speaker 8 (18:11):
Yayh you gotta have you got to have my best
in Nikia as well.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Yes, I want back to you.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
I'm an actor, so I know that I have done
things that I don't like or things that I did
because I was forced to do. How do you feel
about being a.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Arranger? He doesn't. Are you happy with playing a ranger?

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yes, I had a great experience.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
The show was non union, so there was definitely some
liberty has taken in terms of how long we could shoot.
We should shot sometimes sixteen hour days, like there wasn't
any you know, any real protection that way. But as
far as like you know, my it was my first
series regular role and I was kind of my training

(19:04):
ground and I just loved it. I loved being a
superhero too, and a super a role model to people.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
I love being on set. So I didn't really.

Speaker 8 (19:13):
Have anything to compare it to because the industry in
Australia is very different. So so I was just happy
to be working, to be honest.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
Actually working.

Speaker 6 (19:24):
I understand happy to be working also, but.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
I am no law.

Speaker 6 (19:28):
I've done six clown movies and I'm over it.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
I am so over it.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
With no idea. I see a clown on the set,
I'm going to punch it right in the face.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Are they Are they scary clowns or happy?

Speaker 4 (19:46):
I'm very clown. I'm always fighting these stupid ships.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
But anyway, you said to Jimmy, do not put me
in anything unless I can act.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
I'm an actor, right, don't You're done playing a.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
Clown, not a child entertainer. I do adults, and these
movies I'm He said they're adult movies. I said, morons
watch movies, the stupid clown movies.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
I mean, really, you gotta be he does very well,
they do very well. I produce a lot of movies,
but I don't produce I haven't done any clown movies.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
But so what I'm where I'm with Cats, I sneak
around the back door. Where I'm going with kat is
when you.

Speaker 7 (20:28):
Leave if you leave Rangers now, he doesn't know that Rangers,
but you don't know things.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
So you're saying asking a dumb question. Yes, because she's
not in the Rangers now anymore.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Oh it's been a while.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Years. You did like three years ago. That makes my question.

Speaker 6 (20:50):
That makes my question even better because the question is
if they offered you another role like Rangers, would you
accept it? What fear are becoming typecast?

Speaker 8 (21:04):
I think I definitely was typecast. I think that that
is a a kind of an issue for a lot
of WHOA, sorry, guys, Wow, that just really kicked you off.
I am so sorry. My friend's calling from London. So yes,

(21:30):
I think I definitely was typecast. And I think a
lot of us dealt with that from the show because
the casting directors didn't really understand that, like they thought
that we were in the suits all the time. They
didn't understand that you saw our faces, so they they
almost thought of us like stunt people. So I felt
like I really had to prove myself. But I'd come

(21:50):
from a theater background in Australia, so I was very
frustrated by that because I'm like, I can act, I
can do this, you know, but doing but in terms.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Of like now, I think I would love to if
I came back to a show like that.

Speaker 8 (22:05):
I think obviously I'm too old now to play a
young superhero, so I do something like a mentor or
something like that would be fun.

Speaker 6 (22:11):
I mean, is it where the producers say, oh, you
mean that girl from Power Rangers?

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Is how you?

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (22:20):
Yeah, they like, oh she was the Pink Ranger. It's
definitely like a thing.

Speaker 6 (22:25):
That's all about. Because when they want me, they said,
get the old.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Guy, get the clown guy, clown I get the old guy.

Speaker 6 (22:33):
Russell is he's still breathing because I'm eighty five years
old and at eighty five.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
You're amazing, look at you.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
But eighty five years old working is like a dream.
You know how many eighty five year olds even walk?

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Actually amazing? Do you live in La? Are you in La? I?

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Actually I was in LA for twenty seven years.

Speaker 8 (22:51):

he's a fan.

five dollars.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yes, I want to. So I have a list because
I've produced a bunch of movies and I've got a
bunch of movies in development, and I'm doing a movie
called a Werewolf movie. It's directed by Adam Marcus, who
well Adams Adam Marcus, and he did Friday the Thirteenth,
Jason Goes to Hell. He was a director, and as

(25:44):
I did the Thirteenth, I mean Texas Chainsaw Massacre three D.
And we're doing a werewolf movie. And the whole point is,
like all the Soldiers, I'm going to try to get
famous people from like the eighties and nineties like Steve
and we have some boy band memory and stuff like that.
And then the lead, you know, the lead to people
will be somebody bigger. So I'm going to put you
on the list. Yes, I love my friend.

Speaker 6 (26:09):
The friend I'm talking about is the sweetheart of a guy.
He's a really wonderful human being and he has this
company with his son, so his family man. His wife
was he passed away from breast cancer. And she was
the most wonderful human being you had ever met in
your life.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
Jimmy and I and we met them at a horse
and to.

Speaker 6 (26:31):
Cry because I loved her so much and she loved me,
I would be so happy if you worked with him
and then let me know if he did.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
I will, yes, thank you that.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
I loved Australia for a minute. So you were just
I was googling you to look up different things. It
says you were in a Rice Krispies commercial when you
were younger.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
I was in a Rice Christmas commercial in America. It
was a it was a it was a Fourth of
July commercial, which is so funny that they cast an
Australian for a Fourth of July commercial. But it's it's
me and my daughter. So my daughter was about two
years old at the time. She's twenty now and it
was a really really sweet commercial. So yes, I did that,

(27:13):
but I did tons of commercials in Australia.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
I also wrote down though, that you were on you
did two episodes of that show Neighbors, which that's usually.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
Neighbors, so Neighbors Kylie Minogue and Natalie and Brulia and yeah,
so Neighbors and Home and Away are like like soap operas,
kind of like Your Days of Our Lives or whatever,
and their every Australian works on those shows to some capacity.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
But yeah, I was.

Speaker 8 (27:43):
It was It's really the industry is very different in
Australia to how it is here. Like, it was really
difficult for me when I when I started auditioning here,
because they're like everybody supports each other. There wasn't a
lot of like fierce competition. And when I started world
auditioning in America, you know, you'd walk into a room
and there was like, you know, fifty girl, blonde, beautiful

(28:05):
blonde women, you know, all all competing for the same role.
And it was it was really like the casting directors
wouldn't even look at you sometimes when you're auditioning, and
it was really that was a real challenge for me.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
But so didn't you didn't they hire you to be
the Power Ranger while you were in Australia or no?

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 8 (28:26):
So they were filming the first movie there and Amy Joe,
who was the Pink Ranger before me, she had decided
she wanted to leave and move on with her career,
and so they had auditioned in America and then they
auditioned there, So I think I had three auditions total,
and then about three weeks later they called and off
me the role.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
So I moved my life over here.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
That's amazing married dating.

Speaker 8 (28:51):
Yes, I'm married. I've been married for twenty two years. Yeah, yes,
and we've been together for twenty nine years.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
She looks way younger than she is. You were about
twenty three.

Speaker 8 (29:07):
Or well, the camera it's maybe the lighting's good, don't
get too gloss.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Great, she's I'm sure if your IMDb is correct, she's
ten years younger than me, and she has two children.
She's fifty one. Yes, I'm fifty one.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
I just turned fifty one this month, October October one.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
You look you look wonderful. Also, I thank you so much. Wrong,
I thought you were a good girl.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
That's so hard. So to be a power ranger, did
you have to know how to like fight and like
did they teach you or did you How did you
like work out the part because it's a very physical role.

Speaker 8 (29:50):
Yes, well I did have to do a karate like
a kata for the audition, just so they could see
that you could move. But I was a dancer, so
I was very good at picking up choreography and whatnot,
so I could kick really high and spin fast and
make it look like I knew more than I did
when I joined the show, though, they had. We weren't

(30:13):
allowed to do any fighting. There were so many issues
going on. We used to have to do PSAs all the.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Time about don't hit your brother and fighting is only
against aliens and you know, so we were very like
they were really kind of the second unit.

Speaker 8 (30:30):
All of our stunt guys were really doing most of
the fighting when I first came on. They kind of
introduced it again later on in the show and in
the movie, the second movie.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
But yeah, they were very protective of us.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Okay, See Jimmy thinks he knows it all. He doesn't
know anything.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
No, how long have you been married?

Speaker 9 (30:50):
Fourteen years?

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Fourteen years? Okay?

Speaker 6 (30:53):
In the in the show that whatever the hell it was.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Called The Tower Rangers, Power Arrangers, you War Blue Jungles's
pink Oh, I thought she was.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
We're going to get you to watch the shirn.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
I'm gonna get him. I have a lot of questions
about it too.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
I have I have watched it because we had so
many people on our show from that.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
I don't know if he watched yours though, because there's
so many different, you know.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
Versions with thee with a nice body that was hard.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
There's always a cute so wait, let's go back to
go back to Australia for a second, because we had
three pretty big Australian artists or people on the show
besides you, and two of them like both the show.
They hit like eighteen million plays or something. They were
a couple of weeks ago. We had John Jared. I
don't know if you know who he is. He's from

(31:46):
Wolf Creek. He's the bad killer in the Little Creek.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yes, all that movie is terrifying.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yes, so we had him on. He was a phenomenal guest.
And then one of my favorite actresses is Shawnie Vincent.
But you might know because she's a dancer in she
judge in Australia on the dance shows. But she was
in Australia the country.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
I know.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
But she was in Step Up three D as the dancer,
as the star. She was in a horror movie called
Your Next which was stuff. But she was really a
good one. And then we also had Guy Sebastian.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Oh wow, yes I do know who Guy Sebastian is. Yes, yes, yes,
he's hilarious. Yes.

Speaker 6 (32:23):
I had the ultimate best friend and he was Australian
and he was married once to Eliza Minelli and he
said she was.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yes, still Australia, and.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
He was.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
I used to have a benefit called have a Heart,
which all the money went to Age's research with Elizabeth Taylor.
And I asked him to come in to my show
and he said yes, could.

Speaker 9 (32:52):
You believe that?

Speaker 4 (32:55):
But I'm told people who were talking about.

Speaker 8 (32:57):
Peter Allan Peter, yeah, I know, he's an icon in Australia.

Speaker 6 (33:03):
Launch at the Townhouse and a friend of mine came
over and she said, Ron, Peter is not going to
be in your benefit. I said why, She said, didn't
you know? I said, no, what she said, he's very ill?
I said, oh, I didn't know.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
She said, yes, he has aids. I said, oh, no,
Peter has aid So I saw him.

Speaker 6 (33:26):
You know, it's horrible to have seen people who are
dying because that picture never leaves you. Yes, and now
I'm seeing him. That beautiful man was down to the towns.
He was just awfully yeah, and he passed away shortly afterwards.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Peter.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
Let me talk a little bit about Peter Allen. He
had a sense of humor beyond belief. He was so sarcastic,
but in a loving way. He was no Australian, you
know the Barbie and all that jazz and his mistake.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
He's like Australian craft. She knew he loved it.

Speaker 6 (34:06):
He was more Australian around US than he was around Australians.
Mistake he made. He liked very dirty looking motorcycle rogie bums.
Oh those men had aids. They were They were all
mostly you know that sort.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Of man who aud the edges.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yes, and that's how he became ill. But Peter Allen
was wonderful.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
How long was he married to Eliza for?

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (34:38):
How long was he married to Eliza for?

Speaker 4 (34:41):
Like a minute or two?

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah, it was just a little blip.

Speaker 6 (34:47):
He said she was crazier than his mother. He was
not a fan of Liza Menela's not at all. He
tried to make the marriage work. But I don't think
it was his homosexuality that broke up the marriage.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
From what I got, it was just her. She has
ability to deliver it.

Speaker 6 (35:07):
She was very neurotic. Yes, I mean she came from
a horrible background.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
Her mother loved Judy Garland. Her mother was not a mother.
She was a nut job.

Speaker 6 (35:18):
They lived in hotels, they snuck out of hotels, not
to pay the bill. They didn't have any money live
she lived. I've been sorry for Eliza.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
I don't like her.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
I've had dealings with Liza Manelli and she was very
nasty to me.

Speaker 9 (35:33):
I'm sorry, personal note, I didn't like her.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
N has all kinds of boys. So basically, I'm sure
I'm a childlike of the eighties. So I was friends
with Corey Haim and Corey Felman and all those people,
and he's friends with like, you know, his best friend
was Jane Russell. Jane Russell. So we've both been very
fortunate to have, you know, meet a lot of I'm.

Speaker 6 (35:58):
From the day. Well, I was young, I was I
worked a lot when I was young. I did mostly stage.
I like stage in film?

Speaker 9 (36:07):
You like stage, I do.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
I love the theater, Yes, nothing like it. You feel
like you're working, yeah, yeah, and it's very co collaborative.
It's like a collaborative experience.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (36:20):
When I do film, I don't feel like I'm working
because I don't know what the hell they're doing. Right. No,
you shoot the end, in the beginning, in the middle,
it's all screwed up. But stage, you know you're in
the beginning, the middle, in the end.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
It's a wonderful impression. I love stage too.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Were you were you enactor, Jimmy or were you?

Speaker 4 (36:42):
I have been in a ton of things, but primarily
because I have a million followers on social media, I suck.
I'm not a good actor. I'm a really good producer.
It's not a good actor. He just reads lies. I've
worked with him.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
I have said it's called acting. Now you have to
become the character you are portraying. I will now, I
will go into the forest. I didn't find the person
that I'm trying to kill us and he told me
that's not it.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
You guys are such a comedy act.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
This is a fantastic impossibility.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
I said to him, it's going to break my heart
to say this.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Only because I only tried to act. Honestly, the reason
I started to act back in the day, because I've
been doing it a long time. But the reason I
started act was because a CSI Miami and David, the
guy with the red hair who is the star of
c S. I'm David David, I was terrible actor. I
was like, if he could do it, I could do it.

(37:48):
And I actually booked roles in my first ten editions
so I thought, oh, I'm good at this, but I
really wasn't good. They just wann't good projects. I've seen
the world. Now let me finish. But I'm a great producer.
I'm a really good producer. And there's more money in
producing unless you're.

Speaker 6 (38:02):
The like I have to tell you, the camera Jimmy's
the best, No lie, but put him in front of
the camera.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
You want to want to kill yourself. It's really bad. Okay, Yes,
here's the actor and I'm the producer. So first of all,
you guys, Kat was the first. First of all, she
was the pink She was the second pink Power Arranger
after Amy Joe. Then she was the first No, she

(38:33):
was the pink Zeo Ranger, and then she's the first
pink Turbo Ranger. And for people who don't understand, maybe
explain it to people, because Power Rangers has like a
million evolutions, you know, like fifty episodes of like one
and then they changed the whole thing, and yeah, so
explain that to people.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
The show began in nineteen ninety three and it was
our executive producer.

Speaker 8 (38:56):
The owner of the show, Cim Saban, had seen this
Japanese show, so it was called Sentai and he just
saw this show and thought this can be adapted to
an American audience, and he tried to sell it, I
think for ten years before he actually sold the show.
And it was originally called Phantom Rangers, and it was
these superheroes that could morph into you know, their costumes

(39:19):
and they would fight these aliens that were trying to kill,
you know, destroy the earth, and.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Anyway, it just.

Speaker 8 (39:27):
Became this phenomenon like we still like Marvel at it's
It was very cheesy. It was filmed on a very
low budget, but for some reason it just resonated with children.
It was colors, it was fast, it had great music,
and there was fighting and there was moral messages. So
it kind of had this like very full experience in

(39:50):
twenty two minutes that these kids could just like be washed.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
It was like washed over them and then they go
on with their day. And anyway.

Speaker 8 (39:58):
I came on in season three, so the show was
already like at its height. It was when the movie
was coming out, and so I walked into what I
thought was just a children's show.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
I didn't know like it. I don't.

Speaker 8 (40:10):
I don't think it had only maybe only just started
airing in Australia, so I had no idea how popular
it was, and it was. I came on as a baddie.
I was like an evil villain at first, and then
I progressed into becoming the Pink Ranger. So at the
end of Mighty Morphine, because they were using this Japanese footage,
they had to find a way to do different seasons

(40:32):
now because they'd run out of the footage that they
were using. So all of our fight sequences and Morphine
sequences were from the Japanese footage. So that's how we
ended up getting into Zo because now they had to
have more footage. So we did Zo fifty two episodes
and then Turbo.

Speaker 6 (40:50):
I did you did two episodes I did of Zeo.

Speaker 8 (40:56):
I did, I think fifteen episodes of Mighty Morphin fifty
two episodes Zeo, and then about twenty something episodes of Turbo.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
Well bounding that show. But yeah, also in the movie,
because you're in the Turbo of Power Rangers movie.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Yes, yes, that was so fun. We had a lot
of fun doing that.

Speaker 9 (41:15):
Then you have.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Because because you were also like guest, you did guest
spots on Power Rangers, Shattered Past, Ninja Steel, Wild Force,
and I also wrote down something else always yes, oh yeah,
once and always, which that's kind of recent, right, Yes.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
We did that. I think when did we film that?
Two years ago?

Speaker 4 (41:39):
I think it was yeah, long ago.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (41:43):
We filmed that in New Zealand, and that was kind
of like a love letter to our fans because I'd
come back for our chemeos before, but this was like
a real like throwback nostalgia for the fans, and it
was really fun to be a part of that side.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
But look at all the people who come when you
go sign autographs. It's mostly older people, right, It's not little.
It's like me, I'm old, sure, actually you'd be.

Speaker 8 (42:07):
It's really funny because sometimes we'll have little kids come
up to us, and I think it's the child that's
the fan, and it's their grandparent.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
I never refer to myself as old. I refer to
myself as vintage, vintage.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
I like that vintage old.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
Yes, I like that I'm vintage because my movie I
Ever made, I was nineteen years old. That was nineteen
fifty nine, and I was so lucky to play a
soldier who's an extra with Sophia Laurent and wow, lucky
I got a great start to my career.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Yes, yes, he's got a good story about Sophia Laurent.
Which one the one where you sat down and you
want to sit there?

Speaker 6 (42:56):
You know they have the chairs out on the We
shot the train station on Long Island, Long Beach train station,
and she didn't go in her cabin her trailer. She
went and sat on her chair, and next to her
chair was George Sanders chair. But George wasn't shooting that day.
So I snuck away from everybody because we were told

(43:17):
not to disturb the stars. We were told not to
go over, not to speak to tem Hunter or speak
to Sephilla la red. I was madly in love with
Sephila Renn as a kid. I remember Italian, She's Italian.
I went nuts. So I went over to her and
I started speaking Italian and she said to me in English,

(43:39):
she said, your Italian is as bad as my Inglish.
She said, let's say Carriino. Cariino is dear, but you're
very dear. And they quickly came over and they said, hey, soldier.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Back and back to your area.

Speaker 6 (43:57):
No Nothingville, But she said, no, let him stay and
I stay, and we chatted She's a very lovely person,
belief and very very charming is all hell. I mean,
she just was one of those women that as she
spoke you felt warmth. And when I left, I said

(44:20):
to her, Pacha with pleasure, could you give me a kiss?

Speaker 4 (44:28):
And she said, I'll be cheap and she kissed. She
kissed him on the cheek and I ran home.

Speaker 6 (44:37):
I ran home after we got out of the railway
station to my aunt's house where my mother was, and
I said, I'm never washing my face. It's a feeler
and her lipstick is here.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
Lucky.

Speaker 6 (44:50):
My cousin Bertha was the only one that said running,
I'm so happy for you. You got to be kidding.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
And everybody else ignored me. We could care less about
movie stars. My mother was an actress, so they were
used to it. So besides Power Rangers, yes, you've done
some other stuff, but most of your stuff is Power Rangers,
which makes me so excited because I literally like love
it all. And it's a minute.

Speaker 6 (45:17):
Power Rangers basically a show, right, it's the kids show Kid.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Yes, it was a children's show.

Speaker 8 (45:26):
It was produced in America, so it was a Japanese series,
but they adapted it to America America.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
Oh wait, I have a question for you before I
go into the other things you've done. So, so, what
did you think about the Power Rangers movie that came
out like in twenty seventeen. You know some of those
people that was in there was no there were nobody's in.
Some of those people are like, you know, top five
hundred people on IMDb now, and I loved it.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
No wait, no, I have to stop because I don't
like the phrase nobody's I didn't say nobody.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
I sure did you said they were so?

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Well?

Speaker 4 (45:59):
They were? They were people know where I knew it?

Speaker 6 (46:01):
Or an actor is never a nobody.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
You're right.

Speaker 6 (46:06):
An actor is a person who is trying to please
a lot of people on film.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
Okay, so when the movie came out, they.

Speaker 6 (46:15):
Are they filled it with noble.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
They filled it with a lot of people who weren't home,
just easily recognizable names. And I thought the movie was fantastic.
Even though it got panned, I loved it. I thought
it was like great. I loved the whole way they
did the whole thing. No worry. The question is did
you think it was?

Speaker 6 (46:31):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (46:31):
When I'm asking her, did you like I did?

Speaker 3 (46:33):
I actually did. I really liked it.

Speaker 8 (46:34):
I thought it had like a breakfast club kind of
vibe to it, you know, these kids. But the complaint
from the fans, from what they've shared with me, was
that it took too long for them to morph and
that it was a bit too dark. And I said, well,
I think they were trying to capture a different audience,
like you know, and and maybe maybe appeal to the

(46:56):
fans that were kids and now.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
Are older, you know, adun't I think that's true. I think, yeah,
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
It wasn't for the ten year olds as much as
it was for like the fifteen and eighteen.

Speaker 6 (47:07):
And yeah, there was a lot of karate in it.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
I loved it a little bit if I lived it too.

Speaker 9 (47:13):
I thought.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
I thought Elizabeth Thanks was awesome as reader. I didn't
like Golder.

Speaker 8 (47:19):
I thought that was stupid, but I loved that they
kind of made it like Zordon was the original Red
Ranger and the kind I'd loved them to have seen,
maybe them do a prequel where you got to see
Zordam as a Ranger. Yeah, that would have been kind
of cool.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
I would have liked that too. Actually, we actually recently
because I think we're going to have Carla Perez on
who she's readA I think we're going to have. I
met her publicist at an event recently, and oh cool,
really cool. So so you are also in your other
really big credit and I heard you're you're listed kind
of high on IMDb, but I heard they cut out

(47:54):
your actual like speaking voice and everything. But that was
Jennifer Lopez Is a Cell, which was a huge movie. Like, yes,
that was my showing of it when it came out.

Speaker 8 (48:04):
That was an amazing experience. The director, Tarsem is like
a visionary. I'm surprised he ended he did Mirror Mirror
as well, and he's done a million like music videos
and commercials and stuff. He is the most like the
way that he sees things and the worlds that he
creates is just like mind blowing.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
He's just so creative.

Speaker 8 (48:29):
But I was really that was an amazing experience for
me that movie, and I became really close to him
and loved just being a part of that whole experience.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
But my scene, so there was a scene that we
had filmed.

Speaker 8 (48:46):
It's on the in if you will get the DVD,
there's some deleted scenes on there. So one of them
is a deleted scene, but they had Vincent Dinofrio and
Tarsim had gotten some footage of this is really horrific,
but someone being killed like this, hearing what people go
through and this this person. They said, when people are

(49:10):
pushed to their limits, whether it's in a torture situation
or they're getting close to the end of their time,
they often will cry out for their parents or you know,
something like that. So in this this stuff they had,
she was saying, like, you know, mommy helped me. She
was almost like regressing back to being a child. And

(49:31):
so that's what he wanted me to do in that scene.
And when they tested it with audiences, it was a
little bit much.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
I think it was a little too much. And I'm like,
too much. That movie is so gory and everything, but
it's funny, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (49:45):
Like people can handle gore in our world, but they
have a harder time with like emotion.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (49:53):
Yeah, So I was in like filming that scene was
really hard because he wanted it to be so real.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
And I was in a tank like a that was.

Speaker 8 (50:03):
Probably like maybe ten feet by ten feet and they
were literally filling it up with water and I had
to like be a really strong swimmer that we had,
you know, respirators hidden all around the tank and it
was just gradually filling up with water and they just
filmed me like drowning.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
Basically my son's pulling faces at me and uh.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
And so it was.

Speaker 8 (50:27):
It was a very like, very draining emotionally and very
strenuous physically, but so so amazing to be a.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Part of a really good film. Though for anybody who
hasn't personal charm, wait wait, I want to finish this topic.
The sell you guys starts Jennifer Lopez, Dylan Baker, Colton
James Vincentinofrio, Vince Vaughan, Jake Weber, and Tara Subcough.

Speaker 8 (50:52):
Yeah, and you we know the originally on a on
a little fun fact for people, Tara Subcough, who played
the victim that survives. She was originally that role was
Pipa Parabo.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
Oh wow, and she got Cody Ugly and had to
do that instead. So that's how Terara ended up getting cast.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
It's funny because I was a big fan of Tara
Subcock because back in the day, I was a celebrity
clothing designer. I used to make clothes I dressed everybody,
and she had a clothing line. She had a clothing
line called the Imitation of Christ. And I swear they
were talking a lot of my ship, like a lot
of her shit looked like my shit, And I was
just like them. I only made one of a kind.
I didn't mass produce, so I only made one of

(51:36):
a kind things, you know. But I dressed everybody. I
did the costume design for Too Fast, Too Furious, and
I dressed out in John and mcdonna and all kinds
of people.

Speaker 8 (51:42):
Wow, you guys have had such an interesting life, Like
what an interesting.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
One we're still having.

Speaker 6 (51:50):
We're still having on a personal you know, I'm the
guy that everybody loves that watches our show because I snooped.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
You know.

Speaker 6 (51:58):
I asked the questions the celebrities that one answer. But
is your husband in the bids?

Speaker 9 (52:05):
No, he is not.

Speaker 8 (52:07):
He was an actor when we met. We met in
an acting class. He was a detective for years, homicide
homicide detective.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
That's so cool.

Speaker 6 (52:18):
For you.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Yes he was.

Speaker 8 (52:19):
He's retired now and he does a lot of other things,
but he was a detective for manyars. But when we met,
he was pursuing acting. He went to La to become
an actor, and he did. He did a couple of things.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
But you know, my husband is very.

Speaker 8 (52:38):
Like, you work hard and you get successful, and that's
not how acting works. You can work as hard, do everything,
and you may never get a role in your whole life.
So he found it very He found it very frustrating that.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Like, I'm doing everything, why am I, you know, getting roles?
And I'm like, it doesn't work like that. So he
pieced out and went and took a different direction.

Speaker 6 (53:00):
Husband was a very rich man, very rich because he
had you as a wife. And oh no, I believe
that I have two children. That's my wealth. I'm a
very rich man because my kids are unbelievable. It's the
old ladies fifty and fifty five.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
But yeah, I'm I'm vintage, not old.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
They're my kids and all them old broads all the time.
Are either of you?

Speaker 3 (53:32):
Are they.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Sorry? Either your children going to follow in your friend astress?
Are you talking the matter of it?

Speaker 8 (53:40):
My children when they were little, they did modeling and acting,
both of them.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
And then my daughter is very very smart. She wants
to be a doctor.

Speaker 8 (53:51):
So she at about when she was maybe nine, she
was like she didn't want to miss school to go
and do jobs, so we stopped. And then they're very
close in age, and my son would be he would
be an amazing actor.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
He's just very like a natural one actor he does,
he would be.

Speaker 8 (54:11):
He's he just doesn't really like the industry and what
it's kind of turned into.

Speaker 6 (54:16):
But I got to tell you my story. My daughter
Leslie was Miss teen Long Island. Then she went up
to being second runner up in Miss America and they
wanted to give her a contract to go and for film,
and she said no because when she was modeling, she

(54:37):
couldn't stand sitting on a stool for hours and having
everybody touch her here and make drove her crazy. So
she said, just leave me alone. I don't want anything
to do with the business.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
Daddy.

Speaker 6 (54:48):
I hate to disappoint you, I said, Leslie, you have
the most beautiful You look like Michelle Pifer, your gorgeous
look at Grace Kelly. You're a green eyed, blonde beauty.
You could be in Hollywood to make a lot.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
She said no, Halle Berry won the year before she won, So.

Speaker 6 (55:04):
Really, my other daughter, Jandra, who's a beautiful redhead with
block with blue eyes, wanted to be an actress better
than anybody. She tattooed her leg with the face to faces,
you know, the smiling yes. And she was in a

(55:25):
movie and I'm going to tell this story because I
don't care. And she was walking by a trailer and
the trailer door opened and there was an actor there naked,
shaking his penis at her, saying, come on in the
trailer for a while, honey. And that actor was Anthony
Quinn's son.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Really really wow.

Speaker 6 (55:48):
Well, Jandra had a quickie with relationship with Joaquin Phoenix,
and really she was very involved in the business and
hated it and said, they're all crazy, they're egomaniacs, they're
all selfish, they're.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
All me and me.

Speaker 6 (56:06):
I can't do it, daddy. So she went into that
they both live in Pennsylvania, normal.

Speaker 4 (56:12):
Lives, and they like antiques and other kinds of life
like any of our movie shit.

Speaker 6 (56:19):
My daughter Leslie is an anti connoisseur and she has best.
They went the complete opposite of my life.

Speaker 4 (56:27):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (56:27):
Well, but isn't that great that they found their own
path and that you're such a wonderful father.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
That you encourage them to be who they were meant
to be I'm not. I think I think a lot
of a lot.

Speaker 8 (56:37):
Of show parents or you know actors, you know, pushing
their children into the follow their footsteps, allow them, you know.

Speaker 6 (56:44):
I never Deirdre made about five movies, and I never
said I saw the movies, and I said to her,
the role was not good, the part was not good.
We don't have anything there that we can say is acting.

Speaker 4 (57:00):
We have just a scenery. And I was always truthful
with them, and you have to be that way with
your children too. But I never wanted my children. And
my mother was a silent movie actress, and.

Speaker 6 (57:12):
I lived my whole life with horroring Glorious Swanson and
Rual Volentino.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
My whole life was Hollywood.

Speaker 6 (57:19):
My mother couldn't wait to get to Hollywood, to be
a part of Hollywood. And it was horrible as a
young kid, because you know, I would tell other people
that Glorious Swanson is my mother's friend. And in those age,
people knew who Glorious Swanson was. I know who she
is because you're a liar.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
Your mother. Wait, how Glorious wants go back? So what
does your son want to do?

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Then?

Speaker 4 (57:43):
Because we cut that off and we didn't get to hear.

Speaker 8 (57:46):
Yeah, he's very creative, but he's kind of leaning into
wanting to maybe do forensic psychiatry or forensic psychologist or
something like that. He's really fascinated with the mind, and
he he loves, like, you know, figuring things out.

Speaker 4 (58:02):
You are smart, you have smart children.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
For you.

Speaker 6 (58:06):
I go around when I do question, the question to
you is and be honest, what do you think about
our business?

Speaker 1 (58:17):
You know.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
That's a that's a convoluted question for me. I absolutely
love acting.

Speaker 8 (58:25):
I love movies, I love TV, I love theater, anything
creative like that. I just I feel I love that
you can just be transported in take people on this
adventure and for two hours of their life or whatever
however long they're watching, they get to just be transported.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
And I love that. I love the creativity of it.

Speaker 8 (58:45):
But I feel like our industry is really broken at
the moment. I'm I think we're keep recycling the same
stories over and over. I think that they've gotten very.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Lazy with filmmaking.

Speaker 8 (58:59):
I feel it's very it's like frustrating when there's not
anything original. So when something like Severance comes out and
you're like, oh my gosh, this is so unique, it's
so different because we're so used to the same thing
over and over and over. Yes, and I'm I would
love to see just more variety. I guess, you know
in film and television.

Speaker 9 (59:21):
Just kind of kind of.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
Disenchanted with it with it in the start.

Speaker 4 (59:26):
We end up watching. We end up watching a lot
of Well, we watched Turner classic movies because yeah, people,
and we also.

Speaker 6 (59:34):
Because they are my friends on it. I watched my own.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
We watch a lot of too be because two B
has a lot of eighties movies, and we end up.

Speaker 8 (59:41):
Yeah, we we love eighties movies too. We just watched
Weird the first time in years.

Speaker 6 (59:48):
I said to Betty Davis, if you were in the
business as you were in the forties today, would you
be in the business.

Speaker 4 (59:57):
She said, no, I would stay in Connecticut.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Wow, it was different.

Speaker 8 (01:00:02):
Well, back in that time it was just a it
was a glamorous it was just a different time in movies.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
And she couldn't work today, she'd be a corny old lady.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:00:13):
Isn't that a promise that people don't really want. People
don't become actress because they actually love acting. They want
to be famous. Everybody wants to, Yes, So true.

Speaker 8 (01:00:23):
Now you've got Now you've got influences and people that
are just you know, have a lot of following on
in social media that are being cast in movies over people.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
That because they can't act, I can't say your act,
yes exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
I really get upset about it.

Speaker 6 (01:00:41):
That's a problem. I said to Jane Russell. On many occasions,
many conversations we had. I used to want to get
her back in movies. I said, you know, Jane, we
could play together. I could get you in films in
a minute. Because of who you are, Jane Russell, she said, Ron,
I'm not Jane Russell anymore. I'm an I have to
use the word, she said.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
I'm an old woman. I'm a vintage woman. She said.

Speaker 6 (01:01:06):
People would expect me to be Jane Russell. I can't
be Jane Russell because I would look like a fool
at eighty six years old.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
She's not going to shake her tits and do what
she did all her.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Life, right right, She's not a bumpshell. She's not a bumpshell.

Speaker 6 (01:01:24):
I said, But there are parts you could play elderly
parts that are very good. She said, Ron, I really
can't remember lines anymore, and leave me alone. Leave me alone.
She'd say, I just left alone was a fish. I
want to be left alone all the time. Leave me alone.

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
We have eight minutes. I want to do my regular question,
all right. So I'm so happy that you came on
number one one. Thank you so much.

Speaker 6 (01:01:47):
You guys are so fun sometimes we're a terrific guy.

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
Yeah, we have some people that I've met because the show.
We're eighteen years old. I've had this We've had this
show for eighteen years.

Speaker 9 (01:01:56):
I had it before.

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
Wow. I didn't even have a thing called cast back then,
and we have. We're just about to break one point
three billion downloads.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
For that's congratulations.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
People. A lot of so a lot of people will
see over the world, all over the world. And I
put it on my social media and so I'm like,
I have like a million followers, So I have.

Speaker 6 (01:02:16):
A big We're big in Germany, we're big in the UK.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
Yeah. But he here's my question for you. And this
is different for you because you have been stereotyped a
little bit as a power ranger. But let's say, uh,
you're just this great actress and you could work with
I know, but and you could work with any male
or female actor living or dead, who would you who
would what male would you like to have worked with?

(01:02:40):
And what female? And then if you could be in
any movie or TV series that's ever been made, what
one would.

Speaker 9 (01:02:45):
You have liked to have been in?

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Oh my gosh, that's so that's a big one.

Speaker 8 (01:02:51):
Well, if we're because of I'm gonna go with Ron
because we were talking about classic movie stars. I would
love to have worked with Audrey Happened Julie Andrews. Julie
or Audrey Julie Andrews is like amazing as well. And
then male if it was more of a modern I
would definitely say like Viola Davis or Meryl Streep.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
For female.

Speaker 4 (01:03:17):
Meryl Streep, I love Viola Davis's.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
Davis is like I just she's on the next level.
And then male male actors I probably go with like
someone like let me think, gosh, it's a harder one.

(01:03:43):
Maybe Brad Pitt. Oh no, no, no, Denzel Washington.

Speaker 4 (01:03:52):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
Yeah, I love.

Speaker 8 (01:04:00):
I actually think he is really fun like in his
recent like I don't know if you saw Bullet.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
Train and Fight Club. Yes, he's very very funny actually,
like he's very good.

Speaker 6 (01:04:17):
Angeline as Julie grew up in my house. Okay, we
lived in Beverly Hills and my daughter did or went
to El Rode or school with her. So Angie used
to come to my house to play. So I knew
her as a young girl. And all this crap they
say about her being the blood, the crazy, the tattoos,
that was I don't know what it was. Phases she

(01:04:37):
went through quickly. But as a person, she was absolutely
the nicest human being I know, with.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
The biggest heart. She cared for people. She cared for
poor people, She cared for people.

Speaker 6 (01:04:50):
That didn't have what she had. She was wonderful about it.
Brad Pitt couldn't care less about people or audiences or anything.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
And he was not nice. He did a lot of drugs.
He cheated on her.

Speaker 6 (01:05:02):
He was a very bad husband. So when they say
Ben thinks about Angie, her tits aurreal. All right, now,
she had them done because of that cancer thing, but
they were real. Her lips are real. That's who she
looked like as a little girl, eight nine years old.
She exactly as she does now. So when people say
bad things about Angie, I go crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:05:23):
One of my favorite movies is All Attackers and that's
an aw and she's a brilliant actress.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
I liked her a g Oh, she's an incredible I
just wait.

Speaker 4 (01:05:31):
Hackers was great and he likes the one she did
with Johnny Depp. I forgot the name of it. Oh yeah,
that is so beautiful in it. I love the beautiful.
So my last question, because we only got two minutes
or so, so, what do you know about the Legend
of the White Dragon? Is it ever coming out?

Speaker 8 (01:05:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
I know, I people ask me that all the time.
I think I think right now they have they've finished it.

Speaker 8 (01:05:58):
It's picture locked and it's now in the hands of
the distributors, so they're trying to sell it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
And it's been four years.

Speaker 8 (01:06:05):
It's time for it to come out. I wish it
had come out come out closer to when we lost Jason.
I think fans really needed that. But it's supposed to
be really good. I'm excited for them. I know Jenna
is really excited for it for it to get released.

Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
And like Serena's been on our film and Ron Roserena
Ron Rogue or I don't know how you pronounced his
last name, but I know he's in it, and he
was in the saw movies.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
And so yeah they have.

Speaker 8 (01:06:30):
They have some really great actors in it, and I
know that they really wanted, they really want it to
come out.

Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
It's just, you know what the end. What it's like
trying to sell a movie. It's very difficult. It's not
as easy as.

Speaker 4 (01:06:41):
People would think that one would do great there it's
already got such a built in Yes, can't really distributed, Yes,
it is impossible. The distributor crooks. They're robbing of the film. Yes,
we know that.

Speaker 6 (01:06:55):
And they only want garbage for some reason. They think
there's all a bunch of morons with no brains. Anything
that's decent.

Speaker 4 (01:07:05):
And you have to think about it.

Speaker 6 (01:07:06):
If it doesn't have beating up, crashing cars and slashing,
it doesn't get distributed, if you that's so true.

Speaker 4 (01:07:14):
Or sex or sex.

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
That's the other one.

Speaker 4 (01:07:18):
The movie with dialogue.

Speaker 6 (01:07:20):
People walk out of the theater. They said, I can't
sit there and listen to them talk so much. Well,
they're actors, you're fucking idiot, and they're doing a performance.
You don't want to hear them too much. One of
you only beat each other up. Fucking So Hollywood has
gone very woke and very insane. People audiences that are

(01:07:41):
intelligence so puffed up.

Speaker 4 (01:07:43):
Last question, who's your.

Speaker 6 (01:07:45):
One last statement about shut We need the writers to
write real No longer to write crazy stuff that doesn't exist.
Let's write about us, people we care about.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
Absolutely, one hundred percent agree with you.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
Yeah up, Now I forgot what I was going to
ask everybody, Well you I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
I didn't answer your question about what shows I want
to be a part of.

Speaker 6 (01:08:13):
Yes, movie, a movie I.

Speaker 8 (01:08:16):
Would love to have done, like a move, a genre
the genre of like terms of endearment, like a family
like I love movies like that where they take you
through generations and family and like The Family Stone.

Speaker 4 (01:08:31):
Great Christmas movie.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
I love that movie.

Speaker 9 (01:08:35):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:36):
The name of it before you.

Speaker 8 (01:08:38):
Yeah, I just love I love that, like intimate intimacy
where you get to see real people being.

Speaker 10 (01:08:44):
Like people know about having about shows coming up that
you want to advertise.

Speaker 8 (01:08:50):
I am in at Cape Con this weekend at Camp
Cape Girado, and then Ranger Stop is in Orlando the
following week and be in Columbus in December, and I'll

just a place where fans can come and just you know,
celebrate life and friendship and nostalgia.

Speaker 6 (01:09:33):
That's what it should be all about, you know. Always
in my day in the forties, taught us how to dress.
We copied all the movie stars taught us how to
behave when they were elegant and had manners who became today.
The garbage on film has taught the young to be rude,
disgusting and violent. Now we have to bring film back

(01:09:58):
to teach these young morons what it's like to be decent, elegant,
respect and respect.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
I agree with you, it's so true. That is so true.

I've got it for the separate show. Hey, everybody, now
we want to welcome to the Jimmy Stars Shield with
Vron Mussell, entertainer, host, interviewer, and proud celebrator of the
performing arts. Richard Skipper. Hello, and welcome back to the show.

Speaker 9 (01:15:05):
That's me, that's me everything. Yes, next line, like.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
Twelve years ago. I think we had you on the
show about twelve or thirteen years, so that's how long
it's been since we've seen no, thank you.

Speaker 9 (01:15:16):
I keep trying. It's all a matter of lighting. And
an old coward once said sex is a matter of lighting,
and it's true.

Speaker 4 (01:15:27):
Well, your lighting is actually really good.

Speaker 9 (01:15:32):
I got the memo.

Speaker 4 (01:15:34):
I have a question for you before we start talking
about other stuff. Did you ever meet Lori Beachman?

Speaker 9 (01:15:39):
Oh, my god, I've got a great laur Beachman story.
When I first came to New York, one of the
first off Broadway shows that I went to see was
Joseph in The Amazing Technicolor dream Coat. I went with
a friend. I was eighteen years old. I was fresh
off the turnat truck from South Carolina, and Laurie Beachman
walked out on stage age and it was like a

(01:16:01):
jolt of electricity went through my body and I sat up,
and I mean, I've never seen a performance like that
before or since. I mean, she was just mesmerizing. And
my friend wrote a letter to her and told her
that I had just come to New York and that
it was the first one of the first shows that
I had seen. Laurie Beachman sent me the nicest letter,

(01:16:23):
wishing me a wonderful career and everything. And then I
was doing another show a few years later, and someone
ransacked the dressing room and they ripped the letter and
the photograph from Laurie Beachman, and my friend wrote back
to her, and Laurie sent me another photograph with a
key attached to it and said, lock it up. How cute.

(01:16:46):
I never met her personally, but that was my only
experience with her.

Speaker 4 (01:16:51):
She is my probably top five favorite singers of all time.
I listened to she'd got two CD at least two
CD and I have. She's a famous like Broadway singer,
and she died of cancer many years ago. Lori Beachman.
She has a theater, the Lori Beachman Theater. And anyway,
she's always been one of my favorite singers. And I

(01:17:13):
saw you have a show going up there, which made
me think, Oh my gosh, I wonder if you had
ever met her, because she literally I have both of
her things on my phone and they come in rotation
and play all her music all the time because she
has one of the greatest vocalists ever.

Speaker 9 (01:17:25):
Ron look her up. She's an amazing singer. Yeah, she's
fall in love.

Speaker 4 (01:17:29):
With her with you guys. You can follow Richard on Instagram.
He's at Richard dot Skipper dot Celebrates, which is the
name of his television show that we'll talk about in
a minute, and his show show, his show show, and
then his website is Richard Skipper dot com. So tell
us a little bit about Richard Skipper Celebrates, song, story, surprises,

(01:17:49):
and so much more, because that's what's coming up on
the Lori Beachman Theater.

Speaker 9 (01:17:53):
Well, as you know, as Ron said at the beginning
in his intro to me, I spent twenty years performing
as Carol Channing. Not only did I work with Carol.

Speaker 4 (01:18:04):
As Carol Yay, there we was together.

Speaker 9 (01:18:09):
And that's not AI generator, that's a real photography. But
I've worked with so many incredible people in this business,
and so many of these people have become great friends
of mine over the years that at parties and at events,
people would say, You've got so many great stories to tell,
you know, why don't you put it into a show?

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
So I how which story to a show?

Speaker 9 (01:18:34):
So which stories do I choose to tell? So what
I do before the show starts? Question cards have passed
out to the audience. They could ask me anything about
people I've worked with, places I've been, events that I've
experienced life lessons I've learned in this business. They can
ask anything, anything is on the table, and I don't

(01:18:55):
see any of those questions before the show, and the
entire show is improvised.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
Oh that's great, that's true. It's very interactional too.

Speaker 6 (01:19:03):
Like you know, Skip, I'm eighty five, and my years
of the business, I practically have met. I can't even
tell you how many celebrities I can't. I couldn't remember.
You know, you meet them for a minute, you know
them for an hour or for a long time. Jane
Russell was my best friend, as you know, I impersonated

(01:19:24):
her years ago. Yes, I met her once and she
was my best friend for years and years. So I
also have stories that are fabulous. People say, write a book?

Speaker 4 (01:19:37):
Did you write a book? Who has time?

Speaker 9 (01:19:41):
I might write a book someday. I'm thinking about it.

Speaker 6 (01:19:44):
Imagine that's what I say. I said when I get old,
and I have no work too.

Speaker 4 (01:19:51):
When I get old, I have to say, you guys
have kind of lived parallel lives, because yeah, you did
Carol Channing and he did Jane Russell, and they were
both for iconic people.

Speaker 6 (01:20:00):
I know, Skip, how many forty years, fifty I know
him for ever. He was a young guy.

Speaker 4 (01:20:08):
He was gay trade when I met him.

Speaker 9 (01:20:13):
I still am in some circles.

Speaker 6 (01:20:17):
That was and I'm trying to remember skip stories and
I really invaded them.

Speaker 4 (01:20:24):
Well actually so because you now you call the show
Richard Skipper Celebrates, but it used to be everything you
wanted to know about Richard Richard.

Speaker 9 (01:20:32):
Skipperbilt, We're afraid to ask. That's a long title. And
I was in Provincetown. I was performing in Provincetown this
summer and and I'm not joking, several people came up
to me because I have a podcast, and my podcast
is called Richard Skipper Celebrates. Yes, and that's easy for
people to remember. It's a brand. People remember it. And

(01:20:52):
people would come up to me on the street in
Provincetown saying, I watch your podcast, and I mean complete strange.
It was amazing. So I decided to go back to
that title, and that covers everything.

Speaker 4 (01:21:05):
No, it's a good one. It's a good title. It's
a great I'm a publicist. It's great for branding. It's
really good brand.

Speaker 6 (01:21:10):
We name drop on this show all the time, because
it's not name dropping. I'd say I put it this
way if I were a plumber.

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
Excuse me, and I came.

Speaker 6 (01:21:20):
To your house to fix your drain, and I said,
my friend Louis down the block can also fix your drain.
Nobody gives a shit. Who cares about Louis down the block.
But if I say Rock Hudson down the block, my friend,
they go, oh, name dropping, name dropping? Name dropping. You're

(01:21:41):
dropping a name when it's Louis down the block. It
just so happened that the people I know are famous.
Excuse me and you. The people you know is that
Carrol Channing moved to Palm Springs. I have some wonderful
pictures with Carol. Carol thought I was gorgeous. That's all
she ever said. Or I was twenty years young, she
thought I was. I have the best picture of Carol

(01:22:03):
holding my face to see me. Now, I said to Carol,
I don't know if you're gonna like this. I said
to Carol, how is skippy? He used to Does he
still imperson at you? And she went ah, yes. She
didn't go any further later on that you and she

(01:22:24):
had a falling out.

Speaker 9 (01:22:26):
No, no, not true.

Speaker 4 (01:22:28):
So set that record straight.

Speaker 9 (01:22:30):
Yeah, Carol and I remained very good friends. Until the
end of her life. We she was very respectful of me.
I was always respectful of her right. We appeared together
on more than one occasion. She came to see the
shows that I was in. If she was in New
York and I was performing, she would be in the audience.

(01:22:53):
She looked me up. When I came to New York.
I stayed at her home in Rancho Mirage. Very good friends.
So wherever you got that rumor, it's not true.

Speaker 4 (01:23:03):
Good I figured it wasn't. But you know the business,
they love to build you up and then.

Speaker 6 (01:23:08):
Tear you down. But Carol was good as long as
her husband was alive. But after her husband died, she
went to shit. She became an.

Speaker 4 (01:23:17):
Old woman and useless.

Speaker 6 (01:23:19):
And I was very hurt by that because I really
liked her. She had a wonderful sense of humor, a
wit that went beyond beyond everybody, and she was always
smiling and doing uhhh, you know, as you do. So
Carol was not my friend, but a very nice acquaintance.
I liked being affairs with her. You know, in Palm

(01:23:40):
Springs it's one crowd, so we would be at the
same party.

Speaker 4 (01:23:43):
So how long did you impersonate Carol Channing. Oh, wrong time,
because you also have I think a website dedicated to
Carol Channing, and.

Speaker 9 (01:23:51):
I have a website dedicated to to have the history
of Hello Dolly. Okay, but I performed as Carol for
twenty years for you.

Speaker 4 (01:24:00):
Oh yeah, that's right. He did you look terrific because
I actually before you came on, I googled you, you know,
just to get some information.

Speaker 9 (01:24:08):
And so much You're good for my ego. Jimmy.

Speaker 4 (01:24:12):
You had so many great articles written about you and
the stuff that you did with Carol Channing all over
the internet because you get interviewed all the time.

Speaker 6 (01:24:19):
And so listen, when one female illusionist tells another they
look good, that's rare in our business.

Speaker 9 (01:24:29):
I always made this, and I name this anyone who
knows me. The reason I call everything Richard Skipper celebrates
is years ago, when I started writing a blog, someone said, uh,
why don't you call the blog rants and raves? So
it was Richard's rants and raves. But then someone pointed out,
you're always raving about people, but you're never ranting about people,

(01:24:53):
you know. To me, there's too much dissension in the
world already, and I don't want to add to it.
I agree one hundred since so I am there to celebrate,
I sell. I love being on stage. Nothing excites me
but for me. You know Marilyn May, and Marilyn May
always says the audience is the star of the show,

(01:25:14):
and I never coming back.

Speaker 4 (01:25:17):
I forgot that name. He said, Maryland May, we could
really runmince. You and I should do a book.

Speaker 9 (01:25:24):
Well, let's talk about.

Speaker 4 (01:25:25):
It together, you know, Ron Russell and Skip. So I
took some notes, though, hold on, I took some notes
because so we've also Richard Skipper Celebrates and the Jimmy
Stars Show with Ron Russell. I've also interviewed a lot
of the same people because I went on your website
and I went on your YouTube channel, which you guys,
he has a great YouTube channel. I don't know. It

(01:25:46):
must be called Richard Skipper Celebrates.

Speaker 9 (01:25:47):
Richard Skipper Celebrates dot com. It's easy to find.

Speaker 4 (01:25:50):
So here's some of the people. We recently had Dee
Wallace on our show. It's phenomenal. She was on about
a month ago. Don most has been our show. Ron
has interviewed Tippy Edrin, Loretta Sweat, and we haven't had
Loretta sweat Lee Perscell.

Speaker 9 (01:26:04):

Speaker 4 (01:26:06):
Oh no, I didn't know that. Happy birthday, Loretta sweat
Lee Percell has been on our show. Charles Rosen has
been on our show. Delle Shores hasn't, but he's very
popular here in pomp Springs. Melissa Manchester another great guest,
Leslie and Warren, Linda Pearl, Charles Bush, which run knows

years ago. Charlie Wait Melville Moore was on our show

(01:26:29):

Speaker 6 (01:26:35):
Skip and I both know Charles Charles Bush. We both
you knew Charlie right.

Speaker 9 (01:26:40):
Yeah, he yes, very very well.

Speaker 6 (01:26:43):
I hung out with that bitch you ever wanted to meet?
God forbid? You walk by her and you were overweight
and a woman. Well, she said, look at that fat slob.
It's terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:26:59):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:26:59):
Charles Bush was the most talented female illusionist. I know.

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
He could do Betty, he could do Joan, he could
do all of them in a flash.

Speaker 6 (01:27:09):
And you never knew who he was. You know, we
all went to dinner with him, a gang of us,
about twelve of us, and everybody was waiting for him
to not be Charles Bush.

Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
And he knew that.

Speaker 6 (01:27:21):
So suddenly when the waiter came, he went and there
was Benny and he thinking.

Speaker 9 (01:27:27):
Of Charles Pears. I'm thinking, Charles Pears.

Speaker 4 (01:27:32):
What are we talking about? Charles Charles Bush?

Speaker 6 (01:27:35):
That the guy on stage was the wrong boy, the
wrong I'm talking about Charlie Pear. Did you know Charles Pierce?

Speaker 9 (01:27:42):
I never met Charles Pears, but I'm a huge fan trip.

Speaker 4 (01:27:45):
He was a trip. Okay everybody, so you know we're
talking about Charles Pierce now by not Charles Boy, I
know anything you said that because I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:27:55):
The difference and eighty five forgive me, you know. Anyway,
he would do Betty Davis to the waiter and then
just turned around and suddenly become everybody. He was the
most talented person I've ever met. I remember seeing him
for the first time in Florida when I was about

(01:28:16):
seventeen or eighteen.

Speaker 4 (01:28:18):
It was a gay bar in.

Speaker 6 (01:28:19):
Florida on twenty first Street, and he was working the
back lot and he did eleanor Roosevelt, and I.

Speaker 4 (01:28:26):
Will never forget it.

Speaker 6 (01:28:27):
Girls, girls, girls, Tomorrow we may go out and sell
our boxes cookies.

Speaker 4 (01:28:35):
Be sure, I mean, I mean he was wonderful. He
was just wonderful.

Speaker 6 (01:28:39):
I followed his career and he came to California. Yes,
of course I was friends with it.

Speaker 4 (01:28:44):
So wait a second, though, then let's go back tell us.

Speaker 6 (01:28:46):
Wait wait, So I said, Jimmy, are you going to
be in my benefit? He said, when is it? I
gave him the date. He said, no, I'm in Europe filming.
I said, yourself, for a shit, you here in Europe filming?

Speaker 4 (01:29:00):
Yes, tell us who is Charles Bush?

Speaker 6 (01:29:03):
Charles?

Speaker 4 (01:29:04):
Let him tell us. I didn't ask you, I asked Charles.
Let's let him tell us. He interviewed.

Speaker 9 (01:29:09):
Charles Busch is an amazing female illusionist himself, but he
doesn't impersonate other stars. What he does is he vokes
those stars. He's a well Tony nominated playwright. He wrote
Tell of the Ellergier's Wife for Broadway. So many incredible

(01:29:33):
shows that he's done. I don't want to mention Die,
Mommy Die was one of his Uh Psycho Beach party
is Charles Bush? So yes, I'm a huge fan Charles.
If you're watching, there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:29:47):
Charles Bush was less of a entertain as we were.

Speaker 6 (01:29:52):
We sang and danced. Charles Bush did dramatic stage plays.
The Woman from Something, Remember that play?

Speaker 4 (01:30:00):
Yes, what was it?

Speaker 6 (01:30:01):
The Woman of the Murder Mystery? What the hell was
it called? The Woman?

Speaker 9 (01:30:06):
I want to say from Shanghai, but I may be wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:30:09):
No, not that one. There's another one. Anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:30:12):
I've seen a lot of Charles work now. Also, Charles
came to New Hope when I lived in New Hope
and we ran into each other in the restaurant, and
I have to say he wasn't the least bit friendly,
and I was a little taken about it.

Speaker 4 (01:30:28):
That's Charles Pierce. I remember that.

Speaker 9 (01:30:32):
Actually a tale to Charles's.

Speaker 6 (01:30:36):
Every time Charles Pierce saw me, you know what he
used to call me, Oh, here's the mafia drag queen.

Speaker 4 (01:30:43):
There was his nickname for her.

Speaker 9 (01:30:45):
Demon'll say this, I have never encountered Charles Bush when
he was not the consummate gentleman and or lady.

Speaker 6 (01:30:55):
He's rushing into a he was rushing into a restaurant,
and I attributed to his being late or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:31:02):
But I was a little think he was performing at
the restaurant because the leading Yeah, and that's the night
I fell and hurt my knee and there was another
lady there who was from some huge TV show and
they were performing. Yes, he was okay, he wasn't not friendly,
he just wasn't. I knew him. I knew him better
than the greeting. God, there you go. So let's talk

(01:31:24):
about your show a little bit. First of all, I
have two clients, so I've seen your show primarily because
as a publicist I had. Quinn Lemley and Gina Zelman
were on your show not too long and.

Speaker 9 (01:31:32):
I love them both. Speaking of impersonation, Quinn Lemley as
Rita Hayway Hayworth was in the business.

Speaker 4 (01:31:40):
Yes, she's phenomenal. Who are you talking about? Quinn Lemley
knows two of my clients. You don't you know? I'm
talking about the ultimate. Rita Hayworth was my friend, I know,
but we're I'm trying to tie it into his show
the Townhouse Restaurant.

Speaker 6 (01:31:55):
Yes, okay, then you knew him. He sat at the bar.
His name was I forgot. He did Rita Hayworth with
the wig and he did Gilda. Oh my god, he
was phenomenal.

Speaker 4 (01:32:05):
What was his name? He lived in a Storia anyway,
he was married to the doorman. What the hell was
his name? Very good friend of Marc. See I'm losing
everything as I get older. But anyway, so I want
to go back you guys. So Richard Skipper celebrates as
a YouTube channel. He did one thing I think is
really unique on your channel and on your show because

(01:32:27):
I watched a bunch of shows, is you know you
do the one on one interviews, but then you also
do like a panel like Gina and Quinn. We're both
on like a panel and there's like four or five
other people, and then you guys are talking about a
subject that they're all familiar with. Very unique concept because
nobody really does it that way. So I want to
say kudos to that for thank you. Thank you. The

(01:32:47):
shows are really good. Everybody should go and check them out.
So who are some of your favorite people that you
had the opportunity to interview?

Speaker 9 (01:32:56):
Top of the list Leslie and Lawren very good and
I just I did an event with her on Saturday
night in front of two thousand people at the King's
Theater in Brooklyn, celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Clue. So
absolutely her. Carol Cook, who was a dear, dear friend

(01:33:16):

John Davidson.

Speaker 4 (01:33:22):
Wait, wait, go back to Carol Cook. Who is Carol Cook? Like,

protege of Lucille Ball. Okay, and she was on The
Lucy Show. She was in the original Broadway production of
forty Second Street. She's did she was the second actress
to play Dolly after Carol Channing. Wasn't it in Australia?

the most gorgeous men I've ever met.

I do not sleep with eighty year old. No walk
from eighty year old except fore I'm doing one.

Speaker 9 (01:34:59):
When my husband turned seventy, he says, I can't believe

We're married to old biggs. It's time and I go out,
get dialed up and pick up some young cuties.

Speaker 4 (01:35:13):
No, it's not so. How long have you been married?
How long have you been married?

Speaker 9 (01:35:17):
We've been together thirty five years, but we've been married twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:35:20):
Good for you.

Speaker 9 (01:35:21):
We were one of the first one hundred couples to
get married in New York State when it became legal.

Speaker 4 (01:35:26):
Good for you, we got married in New York.

Speaker 6 (01:35:28):
Old or I could have gotten married in California, but
I said to Jimmy, no, I'm in New Yorker.

Speaker 4 (01:35:34):
I want to get married in New York. Good. Wasn't
New York wonderful back in the sixties and seventies.

Speaker 9 (01:35:40):
Well, I came to New York in nineteen seventy nine.
I came just on the precipice of all the change
in the world.

Speaker 6 (01:35:47):
New York was in my day a gay bye you
had to sneak in because the police would raid it
and the rest of us. So we'd grab a dyke
and we dance with the dyke. So they thought it
was straight course work. Ridiculous, But I found out to
be the most exciting time of my life was when
a gay ball was illegal.

Speaker 4 (01:36:07):
I loved it.

Speaker 6 (01:36:08):
When it became legal, the gay ball lost its excitement.
It was the back door, the person at the door
letting you in. It was wonderful.

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
I loved it. So I have a question for you
because we have so we've been on the air for
I think eighteen years, and we've probably in that eighteen
years had under ten people who are also interviewers like
we are. If you do what we do? Number one, like,
do you have a bucket list, like if you could

(01:36:38):
interview anybody living or dead, you know, and you didn't
get to interview, Like, we have a few people that
we would like to get and I'm always reaching out
to them, But is there anybody on your list that, oh,
my god, I'd really like to interview you know, this
person or this person.

Speaker 9 (01:36:50):
Well, first of all, I started doing the interviews as
a result of COVID. That was when I started. So
I've not been doing this for eighteen years, but blessed
both of you and doing that. So when I was
doing this, I really wanted to interview Cheeta Rivera. That
was a j Yeah, I didn't get a chance to

(01:37:12):
interview I love I loved Cheetah scene. I reached out
to and he turned me down.

Speaker 4 (01:37:19):
He was the most really he turned you down, turned
me down. Army Firestein, Army turns you down.

Speaker 9 (01:37:26):
He turned me down. He didn't do my show. But
I still love your Harvey if you're watching my the
the biggest bucket this person for me would be Barbara
streyce In and my my reasons for wanting to interview
Barbara streyce In. I would like to know how about

(01:37:47):
her approach. I'm more interested in the approach to their
craft and how they masterminded a career, especially in a
business that's constant me changing. That's the interview that I
would love to have with Barbara Strays.

Speaker 6 (01:38:06):
I know what her answer will be. It's called talent.
Talent never ends. Talent goes on till you die. People
without talent a flash in the parent.

Speaker 4 (01:38:18):
We actually did an interview with their sisterly Good, and
we had a really nice interview with her.

Speaker 9 (01:38:24):
Is a very dear friend of mine.

Speaker 4 (01:38:26):
She's a doll I love.

Speaker 6 (01:38:27):
We had a great interview with her, and you know
what I said to her, Rosie, what was it like
growing up when everybody called Barbara ugly and you beautiful?
I had the balls to ask her that, and she
said it was hard for Barbara because Barbara wanted to
be beautiful. But Rossie is a beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:38:46):
Woman and talented. She she can sing. Don't you think
Rosie is beautiful?

Speaker 9 (01:38:51):
I think she's incredibly beautiful. But I want to say
I believe that they're both beautiful. To me is one
of the sexiest women ever to be on a film screen.

Speaker 6 (01:39:01):
Barbara Streisan has a body of death. Her body goes far.
She's got legs that don't stop. She's she's really beautiful.
She has made unattractive women beautiful because she has a
unique look. I know barbaras, I don't know her. I
was in a store with her on a shoe store
at the Right Bank in Beverly Hills when she was

(01:39:24):
shopping and she didn't have any makeup on, and all
I thought was she looked like a soup bone. Her
nose and her face was really not not really attractive
at all. But after you look at her a while,
and when she smiles and talks, she becomes attractive. And
the way they photograph, who gives a shit about what
she looks like? What's come out as her?

Speaker 4 (01:39:46):
She's so talented. We watched the way we were the
other night on tournament. I love her work. I watch her,
I love her work. I love she's in like like
Lori Beachman. I actually liked Lorid Beachman's voice better, but
for me, Barbara Spis and Lloyd Beachman all in the like,
and I was five vocalists living.

Speaker 6 (01:40:03):
I was hoping that Roz would say that who cares
about what she looks like? Think talk about a voice?
So I changed that their interview, and I said the
very same thing. Who cares what she looks like?

Speaker 4 (01:40:15):
Who what a voice like that? Ohmark? And her acting
ability is I mean, she's a super talented woman. I
love her. Super talented. So wait, what is your favorite?
Do you have a favorite Broadway show? It must be
like a Hello Dolly or something.

Speaker 9 (01:40:27):
Hello Dolly?

Speaker 4 (01:40:29):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:40:30):
Do you go?

Speaker 9 (01:40:30):
Voted my life to covering that show. So absolutely, Hello Dolly.

Speaker 4 (01:40:36):
I like love it. And so just what do you
do with Hello Dolly? Now you still I mean, you're
obviously as you keep it alive? Nobody keeps it alive show?

Speaker 9 (01:40:44):
He does myself celebrating the history of Hello Dolly, okay,
going all the way back to eighteen thirty five, Wow,
where it really began? And I tell the evolution of
the show. I sing songs from the show. I show
film clips. I've got some eight clips. I was performing
at the Revolution Stage Company, which, by the way, I'm
coming back Palm Springs February eleventh. But when I was there,

(01:41:11):
you know, I have a clip of Ruda Lee talking
about playing Dolly. And after the film clip, someone said,
did you know Ruda was in the audience?

Speaker 4 (01:41:22):
And I had no idea.

Speaker 9 (01:41:23):
She was in the audience.

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
Lee rud to Lee, Oh my god, she's my buddy.
She lives in Palm Springs.

Speaker 9 (01:41:30):
Yes, I just love her.

Speaker 4 (01:41:32):
She had Ruda on our show not too long ago.

Speaker 6 (01:41:35):
In fact, she was supposed to be in a movie
with me. I don't know what happened to that shit,
but anyway, someone asked me, Ron, why aren't you impersonating
Jane Russell? I said, because I made you five years old. Now,
I said to Jane, Ron, because Jane was a buddy,
I said to Jane, I could get you in a
movie with me if you want to be in a movie.

(01:41:56):
She said no, Ron, I said why. She said, because
people would expect me to be Jane Russell. She said,
I'm eighty one. I am no longer Jane Russell.

Speaker 9 (01:42:07):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:42:07):
And I understood that. And that was the answer I
gave when I was asked, why don't you do Jane
Russell because I'm not thirty. When I was twenty nine
and twenty eight and twenty and thirty, I looked like
I had a body that didn't stop legs of death.
Now I'm all crippled. Did you picture me as Jane Russell?

Speaker 1 (01:42:26):
Now?

Speaker 6 (01:42:26):
I have to do the kits down on my knees.

Speaker 9 (01:42:30):
Is there anyone here for love?

Speaker 1 (01:42:32):
Do so?

Speaker 4 (01:42:34):
You sing in your own voice? Oh yeah, I sang
in my own voice too. That's really cool though, So
you should put some of those I didn't see those
on your YouTube channel. Do you have clips of that
on your you send you a clip?

Speaker 9 (01:42:44):
I have one child, right, I wanted to learn a
lot of clips of me performing, but because I like
to look forward. But I'll send you a clip.

Speaker 4 (01:42:52):
Yeah, because that's really good. I wanted to.

Speaker 6 (01:42:55):
I was saying that about me to lead it to
the question about you. When did you know it's time
to stop doing drag?

Speaker 9 (01:43:03):
Well? I don't want to go into the details, but
I signed a bad contract with a bad producer, and
I spent seven years in litigation fighting for the rights
to my show, and then by the time I got
to the end of that run, I no longer wanted
to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
Good for you, I mean that you made that decision
on your own.

Speaker 9 (01:43:26):
Was no longer performing. And when Carol stopped performing, I
mean after Harry, her last husband, passed away, this spark
went out of it for me. And I will tell
you something very interesting. When I first started performing I
mean Ron talks about being a friend with Jane Russell.

(01:43:46):
I was the luckiest guy on the planet to have
Carol Channing as a friend. But as we got to
know each other, she was no longer that icon. She
was no longer that person that was at You're right.
As soon as I got to know her, I never
felt that I could do her justice right.

Speaker 4 (01:44:07):
It very hurried me.

Speaker 6 (01:44:10):
The first time I met Jane Russell. It's a long story,
I won't get into it. I went to where she
was singing in a Mexican restaurant up where she lived
in northern California, and I walked over to her and
I said to her, I have a story to tell
you about a voice I heard that told me to

(01:44:32):
find you.

Speaker 4 (01:44:33):
And for what reason?

Speaker 6 (01:44:34):
I only could think, is I impersonate you? And I
had my portfolio I listened to this. This is the
true story, skip, I said to Jane. And I opened
it up to the bathtub of me in a bathtub
with SuDS in the book Persona, and I said, I
hate this picture. I don't look like you. IOK like

(01:44:55):
an old lady.

Speaker 4 (01:44:56):
She said, Are you kidding?

Speaker 6 (01:44:57):
She said, I wish I looked that good. And I
said to myself, oh my god, you've been making up
like her and imitating and doing every detail of her,
and now she is saying that she wishes she looked
like you. Anyway, she was a born again Christian and
believed in magic of the Lord. So my story had
to do with something like that. And Jane thought she

(01:45:20):
could convert me to being a born again Christian, but
that was an impossibility. So once we put that baby
to bed, we began becoming friends. We stayed in each
other's house. She came to Palm Springs and had her
own room. My daughters loved her story. We're going two minutes, okay,

(01:45:40):
we're going to a very big event in Florida, the premier,
and at the premier, a respectful event of her movie,
The Gentleman for Blondes. And she comes out of my
daughter's bedroom and I look at her. I said, Jane,
what happened to your tits? She said, what are you
talking about? I said, you're titsing down to your belly.
Can't you jack your bra up? I did, ron it

(01:46:00):
doesn't go any higher. So I said, what are we
going to do? We can't go out you're Jane Russell
favous for your tits. We can't go out with tits
down here. So I said to my daughter, Leslie, I said,
what size are you? She said thirty six B. I said,
what size are you, Jane? She said the same, thirty
six B. My daughter loaned her a push up long line,

(01:46:21):
push up braun. Now she came out and her tits
were nice and young and up here. I said, now
they look good. She said, when are you going to
leave me alone? I said, until you die.

Speaker 4 (01:46:32):
Never. I love other time. Wait, wait, not time. We
have three minutes, and I got to talk about this.
One's good.

Speaker 6 (01:46:39):
She came out of a shower after a performance and
her piano players was nasty, very cranky and not nice
to me. And her pianel players said, you know, you're
really not nice to Ron. Why are you doing that?
She said, not nice to him. You got to see
what he does to me, and he said what She said, Well,
if we're going someplace, he smacks me in my ears

(01:47:00):
and says, Russell.

Speaker 4 (01:47:01):
Move it. Well late, she liked that. Jane didn't like
any kind of Hollywood bullshit. So I want to go
