Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation. Well, look, let me tell you
the story about a man named Alexander Morris. Do you
know him, Brendan, I.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Think you say. Let me tell you about.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
A man named Jed No. This man Alexander Morris. He
is a member of the Four Tops. He's only a
relatively recent member. I think it's like Skippy, there's slightly interchangeable.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's like the Drifters or the Pips, and the Pips.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
They've got enormous appeal. They did, Thanks for enjoying my pun. Anyway,
he went to hospital to receive medical treatment. He went
to the emergency room by ambulance. He said, they're difficulty
breathing and it'd be put an oxygen. He then told
a nurse and a security guard that he was a
member of the Four Tops and he was concerned about
stalkers and fans.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Right, wow, just for argument's sake, what's some of the
four Tops work? Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
These ones.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yep, and this one yep, and.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
This one, and they also had this one. You've left
out this one and this one. That's the work of
the full Tops.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
A lot of people said they were repetitive. I can't
see no.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
So he goes to the hospital and he said, look,
I'm having a heart attack. Whatever's going on here, but
I need you to because of stalkers and fans.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
And you know what they did.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
They put him in a straight jacket and took away
his belongings. He was ignored for a while. He asked
for there a strange jacket to be taken offer and
for his belongings to be returned. So he got her
to the hospital, but they told him he couldn't leave,
and security guards surrounded the area to make sure he
didn't leave. I thought he was completely psychotic. His wife

(01:37):
arrived at the hospital and he told her that they
thought he was diluted. She's also told the security guard
he was a member of the Motown group. Finally, he
asked for his phone so he could show her a
video of himself performing.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
The Grammy Awards to himself.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Upon realizing who he was. This is a great quote.
The emergency room doctor returned and said he was canceling
the psychological evaluation, so he was offered. They all said
sorry because he was restrained for about an hour and
a half. He was offered a twenty five dollar voucher
as an apology, but he's suing them for dehumanization discrimination

(02:13):
that he faced and but he said he was treated
like he was mentally ill once he told staff he
was in the bat.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'm looking for him getting back on the raid for
that ginormous back catalog.
