that's the name of the show. And it was not
(07:37):
too long ago, and I had I had a lot
of concepts. I was working for the Modane Corporation. This
was a broadcast corporation, and they had promised me my
own podcast, my own radio show. At one point they
wanted me to do a half an hour of television
for Modane broadcasting across the Tri state area. And when
(07:58):
I asked him what states those were, they wouldn't answer me.
I said, well, what Tri State area And I said wall,

and so let's let Brad Fixton take the wheel. Now,
(09:00):
I just butchered the name of that up again brand.
You know you're gonna have to write it down I'm
not gonna write it down. I know the name of
my own show. Something that I've been thinking a lot
about is how we can get into the day with
a positive mindset and at the same time practically apply
good things physically as well as to our work environment.
(09:21):
What do I mean by that? You know, we get
into the car and we drive to work. We're listening
to podcasts, we're listening to newscasts, and much of this
stuff is very depressing. It's just got us kind of
bumming out, you know, as we used to say back
in the day. You know, I'm just I'm all bummed out.
You remember those days, Margaret, Yes, I do. I remember
just people saying that's a bummer. Yeah, they say that's
(09:43):
a bummer, But I remember them saying I'm all bummed out, right,
And we used to joke around until I took that seriously.
We used to say, well, he's all bummed out. That
means he's got his pants down. You know, what does
it mean? What does it mean? It means if you're
all if you're bummed out. Oh, I gets yet it. Yeah, yeah,
he's all Oh look at Charlie, he's bummed out. His
pants are down. And he's sticking his bum out. But
(10:06):
when I started to get serious about life, I said,
you know, I'm all bummed out that man. I was
just not having a good life. How do we take
life by the horns early in the morning and just
go for it? Okay, Well apply the Brad fixed in concept,
and that is Brad Fixton has got a couple of
ideas on how things should go. So let's let Brad
(10:28):
Fixton take the wheel. And what I want you to
do is I want you to when you're having a
problem in life, say I'm gonna let Brad Fixton take
the wheel. And here's what you do. Running and singing
on your way to work takes your mind off of
the commute problem. It takes your mind even off of
(10:51):
the physical stress of running. What it does is it
tells you it feels good to run. I'm happy that
i'm running, I'm happy I'm going to work, and I'm singing.
You're running, you're singing. You're fully clothed for your day
at work. You may have a backpack on, maybe you
even have on a suit. But as you run, sing
a great and favorite song, like my favorite song. Did
(11:14):
you do this coming over here. Well, I'm staying with
an autum mind in Queen's and I took an uber
over here. Well, why didn't you you run and sing?
I didn't run and sing. Brad Fixton has got a
couple of ideas on how things should work out. So
let's let Brad Fixton take the wheel. All right. Sorry, yeah,
I'm jeez, I'm digging the wheel now. To answer your question, though,
(11:36):
it was a long way, Okay, it was going to
be a good hour and a half if I walked it.
Even if I ran, it'd be about an hour, maybe
an hour and a half from Queen's on over to here.
So but if you just if you're got a regular
job and you don't you know, okay, maybe you've got
the hour to burn. I don't not today. Usually run
(11:57):
I would be running and singing my favorite song, who
let the Dogs Out? Bark bark, bark barker, Who let
the dogs out? Bark bark bark, Who let the Dogs Out?
That's the hip hop song. Yes, sometimes I'll just sing
something like this, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you, Brad, Happy birthday to you. Oh
(12:19):
you know, like that or I'll sing you know, Santa
Clauses come into town. Any song that makes me feel good,
and I'm running, I'm singing, I'm running, I'm singing. I'm running,
I'm singing. And by the time you get to work,
by the time I get to work, I forgot that
I'm you know, tired, and I forgot that I'm actually
soaked in sweat. And if you bring along some under
armed de orderant and you're you're ready to go, okay,
(12:40):
you spray a little bit down where you need to
up under the arm pitch, and you're ready to rock
and roll there in the in the in the in
the in the in the in the in the in
the in the in the thing you all right, yeah,
I don't in the Can you edit this? Yeah? Edit together,
I'll edit the first in you to the last one
in in. I forget what I'm saying. Well, you're you're
you're feeling good because you're saying your favorite song. If
(13:00):
I'm feeling good because I've fan if I fanned on
my favorites, I didn't fan on it, that's striking out
in baseball. I know that I'm feeling good because I
sang my favorite song, and I ran and I didn't
feel tired at all. You see this is what I mean.
Run and sing. You get to work, maybe about thirty
minutes longer than it would take you, but you're happy.
(13:22):
You just got a good little bit of fitness at
training in, You got a little exercise in, and you
have found a whole new way to get into the
day fully ready to go. See this is Let Brad

opposite sex.

have decided that they want to give this democracy thing
one more try. Vladimir Putin said, let's do it. Let's
try this thing. I'll go ahead and sit in the
backseat for a while, and I'll see what business I
have to attend to. You go ahead and get this
democracy thing going on in Russia, and I won't bother you.
I'll just be in the back seat, you know, looking

sun up until sundown. The temperature sitting at a seventy
five to eighty degree range, depending upon the part of
the country you're in. Light winds, no precipitation, to speak of,
and it'll be nice and dry with low humidity. It's
in other words, that's perfect weather. But you have to understand,
I'm also going to need to bring a hurricane and
some blizzards because perfect weather will drive you insane. It
(19:50):
will drive you mad with boredom. So you've got to
have a blizzard, maybe even a hurricane. So a blizzard
is coming and a hurricane too. Mark Cargan Sports In sports,
the Los Angeles Dodgers won, but they didn't win the
World Series. But they kept on winning games, so their
fans are happy not winning the World Series. The rest
of the people in America are happy too, because they
(20:12):
don't want to see the Dodgers win anything. Okay, the
winners of the World Series are the Chicago think about that.
I won't tell you just yet, but these guys will
win the World Series the Chicago dot dot dot. Yeah,
it could be. It could be the Chicago Cubs, could
be the White Sox, or it could be who knows,
(20:32):
there might be another team that we're not aware of
that made the playoffs. This is Mark yet, that's right,
Mark Corgan's world. Anything as possible. Now I'm Phil's here,
Phil Hi Mark. How are you Phil Henry Right, I'm
in the middle of Mark Cargan News. I think I
think we were going to edit this Bud right, Yes, sir,
I think we don't need to. I've been outside. I've
been doing lines. You've been outside doing lines. I don't
(20:56):
understand that. What cocaine? No, sir, I'm doing a play.
Oh oh, when you said you're sitting outside, but he
thought I was outside just doing rails of coke. Yeah,
that's what I thought. Well, thank you very much, Mark.
We're gonna take over from here, Mark Cargan. Well, I
got a whole lot more to do here. I mean
the Mark Cargan News Hour, I know, but thank you anyway. Okay,
(21:18):
so you're kicking me. I didn't see you kicking out
Brad Fixton or whatever the fuck his gay name is. Jeez,
I thought you worked for him. I'm not anymore. I don't, apparently,
I don't. Okay, I'm sorry that I was not here
for any of this. Well, it was pretty bad Brad Fixton,
and I heard let me take the wheel. It was
Brad Fixton's got a few ideas on how to fix
(21:39):
things or whatever. Yeah, and then he complained about me,
mister Henry. He said, I looked like a like an
evil dwarf or something sitting here on a milking stool. Well,
why are you sitting in a milking stool? Because I
got more access to the pressing processing equipment down here.
So you were staring up at him? Yeah, I was
staring up at him and he got creeped out and
he thought it was like some mad dwarf staring. It
(22:01):
wasn't anything, he was just this guy fixed in his
concentration's lousy. See. Oh, Brad coming in Hi. So you
didn't like it, huh not really, Brad? All right, Well
we had the secret phrase. Yeah, the secret phrase was
Brad Fixton is one gigantic asshole. I think it's what
it was, and it had to be uttered by Brad. Yes,
(22:22):
all right, I'm assuming we're gonna have a winner, and
congratulations to our winter yesterday. Tad Richards of New York City.
So people are asking me, well, how are you you know,
how are you living in New Yorkville? And well, Verbo,
So people are asking me, how are you living in
New York How are you eating? What do you eat?
(22:43):
You know, this kind of thing. I'm in midtown Manhattan.
I'm just down from Times Square, up from Times Square,
so something like that. I'm near Central Park on the
way to Central Park. See what else? And you know,
we're around the corner from just about everything. I mean radio,
you saw Radio City, Music Hall, and a lot of
really exciting things. Now, how am I, you know, going
(23:05):
about life? First of all, there's not exactly a lot
of supermarkets in Manhattan. There is a Whole Foods which
is down about three blocks. But mostly what I've been
doing is eating in restaurants and so it's like it's
a throwback to my bachelor days, you know, and I'm
having things like, you know, food that I ordinarily don't eat.
I mean I've been I've been pretty strictly vegan for
(23:25):
many years, but being in New York and sort of
having to, you know, go the native route, I've been
eating steak. You're kidding. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I've
had steak because you figure, you know, animal protein is
quite frankly the main source of get a load of
the lost. So this is going to be good. I
(23:47):
told you my chiropractor, Ralph Albee said, And Ralph was
like one of the most vegan guys. But he said
animal protein is the best protein for humans. Okay, so
you're rationalizing eating these poor animals. I'm not rationalizing an
I'm just I'm living the way they live in New York. Okay,
So I had a couple of stakes I've had. See
you had fish and chips too. I had fishing chips
(24:07):
today at this place called Roso Gradies. Is another restaurant
that I ate at that I told you guys about
called ted Montana's, which is just down the street. And
let's see what else. Well, you know, I was at
at the tap House across the street from my old place,
and I ate at the Peruvian Joint and you know
(24:27):
the Barking Dog. Now you haven't been to the Barking
Dog because you're far away from there. Yeah, I am.
Plus the fact that in moving to this new digs
and they're great, but I'm now eleven minutes. It's an
eleven minute walk between here and the theater on forty
seventh Street, and it used to be just about five
or six minutes. But you know what, like I care, man,
it's still the way I got it figured is I'm
(24:48):
probably gonna lose twenty pounds living here, you're going to
keep eating all that animal fat? How are you gonna
lose twenty pounds walking my ass off, Jack, walking all
over this town. So that's the update. So you already,
so you've heard the phrase that pays today and by
now maybe we've got a winner. I don't know. We've
already given away one pair of tickets. We have five
(25:09):
total to give away. We'll give it away another pair
to day for the pitch and the opening is October
the ninth at the Actors Temple Theater on forty seventh
Street in New York City. Looking forward to it, looking
forward to seeing a lot of you guys and a
lot of friends that I'll be seeing from New York
area as well. All Right, that's it, man, you gonna
