Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's a Woody Show. Welcome back to the Woody Show, Woodie.
We'll be back Monday morning along with Menace. They're busy
at their morning show boot camp. But in the meantime
today we decided let's bring Mark Thompson in and let
him do all the heavy lifting. I'm loving it, loving it.
I'm especially looking forward to this segment because you gave
us an assignment, and I thought it was a difficult assignment.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You know, this is one of the SiGe that you
were kindly asking what I do, and I do a
podcast and I still do the old school radio crap.
You come up with an idea of something, you try it.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This one has worked
pretty well. People are having fun with it.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
So it's basically called songs I hate. This is a song,
and we all have this. This is a song that
everybody loves it except you, and there's something about it
that you just don't like. There's no rhyme or reason,
but that's what it is. So the quest is choose
one everybody did? And so where should we start? Why
(01:04):
don't we go with Let's go with Gina.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Okay, this was kind of a no brainer for me,
because I know it was a massive hit, it got
all the radio play in the world.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But I just can't take it.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I hate it so much.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Now refreshment, this is marine vibe. She will be loved.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I do like this.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, well, here we go to it gets worse.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I hate it so much.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
It does sound I can see it sounds fake, It
sounds forced. It sounds like, hey, make make a love
song that idiots will like it.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Thank you, thank you well.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I mean again, you hate it, but it's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I don't know. To me, it just drones on and on.
It's slow. I find it depressing.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I personally have a little bit of a problem listening
to Adam Levine's falsetto.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
That's just a preference. It's just not my thing.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
And this song really showcases the part of it that
just it does not work for me.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Okay, and they have other songs that are fine and dandy.
I hate this song.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We were playing it on the podcast and one listener
chose and this was one of those where I didn't
realize how much I fricking hated it. Morris Albert feelings everything,
every God is this a cry alone at Home with
(02:43):
a glass of wine song.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It is, and there's a personal tie because my late
grandmother loved that song and it reminds me of her.
If I drink wine and listen to feelings, it's it's emotional, visceral.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Mark hates Greg's grandmother pretty much.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yes, that's what.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
We're happy that she died. But as far as Maroon
five goes, the reason I'm not a huge fan of
that song is pure jealousy and pure ignorance as to
Maroon five being that big of a band. Because when
Adam Levine bought a house from Ellen Degenerous, I think
he paid forty five million dollars crazy, And I thought
(03:21):
to myself, Okay, I know who Maroon five is. I
know who Adam Levine is, but forty five million?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, Ellen, how does he have Ellen money? Do you
know you're in Maroon five?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Are they that big of a band?
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Greg? You're not listening to the soccer momstage?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I guess not.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
They have numerous number one, even more top ten hits.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Thank you, And that's the thing. Some of their songs
pop band catchy. I get it this song I cannot
abide by.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But you know what I'm talking about Mark. If Mick
Jagger bought Ellen's house, I'd be like, yeah, that makes sense,
but random ass Adam Levine, no questions.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Well, he moved in like Mick Jagger.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And also he has that voice. Money, he's on the voice.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Yeah, you know in any commercial, any movie there are
they are the definition and success in the best selling.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Out Well, my Adam Levine knowledge is nil.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Okay, nothing, nothing, So that's my choice.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I also liked the guy on the podcast who chose feelings,
Morris Albert. I loved his reasoning. He was in a
bar band and it was mostly older people, and he
said we had to do feelings ten times a night.
And if I hear it again, yeah makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Greg.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's it's going to be year turn. This is a
song yeah that we all absolutely love, but you just
can't stand it.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I think this assignment was difficult because a lot of
the songs that I hate, I think are generally universally hated,
so people would agree like, oh, of course you hate
that song. It sucks and it sounds terrible. So this one,
I think the reason I might hate it is because
it gets too much warh and I'll tell you why
something ruined it for me? I know this is bold
(05:10):
there grungs, God's Kurt Cobain is, you know, the object
of shrines people worship.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
This song.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Specifically is as often pegged as they change in the
music industry, absolutely for about ten.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Years, and it's not lost on me. I get its impact.
I get Nirvana's importance. I totally get it. The thing
that ruined it for me. Two things. Number One, if
I look at art like a painting, I'm more impressed
if it's something I couldn't do. Okay, you know, like,
if you're looking at an abstract, you could probably do that.
(05:47):
But if you're looking at a masterpiece and you think, God,
that painting looks like a photograph, I could never do that.
I think most bands could recreate this sloppy sound, so
it makes it less impressive to me.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
But there's a lot of credit that goes to being
the first to do this kind of thing. Would you
not agree?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I would agree with that now, and then a music
enthusiastics would say, well, they weren't the Melvins and other
punk bands were away. They were just copying them, right,
But guess what they Nirvana is the ones that broke
out so exactly right, and what you.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
What you said reminds me of what people say about
modern art, which is someone says I could do that,
and he says.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, but she didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But you didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You didn't think of it, you want to.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
The other thing that ruined Nirvana for me was this
documentary about Kurt Cobain. It's I believe it was called
Montage of Heck, and I watched it thinking I'm going
to come out of this having a brand new, newly
unimproved appreciation for Nirvana. Nirvana. It ruined it for me
because Kurt Cobain is one of these people much like
this Chapel Rowan Roan Chapel Roan, who sought fame, sought fortune,
(06:53):
sought fandom, got it, and then they hate it. Kurt
Cobain spent his entire trial wanting to be famous, wanting
to be have his music heard. Then he got famous.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
A singer, don't.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Come to the n TV movie.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You want, don't go to the Grammy listen.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I've always had that issue with actors. Oh they wont
my picture in my autograph. Guess what, You're in the
wrong business. Don't work at a grocery store.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Look, I absolutely get what you're saying. But you know,
a lot of times in this in these cases, you
don't know what it's like, and then you get there
and young, hmm.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
You willing to find out.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I'm totally willing to find out. And if you're upset
about once, once you find out what it's like, go
take a treasure bath and cheer yourself up. Go buy
yourself a secluded cabin and live happily ever after on
the interest from your millions. You're gonna be Okay, weir,
I'm famous. Well, this is also this chapel Roone. I've
(07:56):
seen it, and I like it. Some of her songs
are perky. But my wife absolutely Adoors loves I just
kind of look at it and go, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I see what you doing.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
It is what it is like. Sabrina Carpenter, she's fine,
she's great, she's lovely, she's a hot little piece. But
but is she doing anything different than what Madonna did
forty years ago?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Not really? You know, good for her, right good? Yeah,
she's doing it. She's doing it.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I know we have to break, but I have to
say this, Madonna. I took my kids, my whole family.
It's Madonna. I'm not a huge, huge fan, but I
spent the money. I went. I sat there for two
hours waiting for the bitch to come out. And here's
the part. I asked the guy who runs the venue,
because I've met him, I said, it's hot in here.
(08:40):
I was literally sweating, sweat dripping off my hair, and
I say, Kenny, turn on the air and he goes, well, no,
Madonna needs it at this for her voice. That was it.
You can kiss my as I'm not never going to
come back. That ruined it. Oh just sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well this is This is a totally fun segment, Mark,
and we're going to do more of it next on The.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Woody Shown is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Songs I hate. With Mark Thompson on The Woody Show
on a Friday morning, we had Gina, we had Me
and now who are we moving on to Mark?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I've already told him this off that you were so
good at this. Marklim no way, I'm just like hanging
out and I'm so glad you're here to just do that.
Thank you, Mark, bart Let's go you again. Songs that
you just can't stand, but everybody else absolutely loves it.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So this song.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
I already had to distaste for it, but I didn't
know how much it would grow until I worked in
classic rock radio and they played it every single day.
Every third hour, it would come into play, and I'm like,
this is not classic rock. This is the party song
for every soccer mom that thinks she's cool and she's
got fun, fun party for kids, and it's this one.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, I hate it. Look, it's it's perky, but it's
a catchy.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
I just wonder why I look at Genus dancing again,
I hate it, Proving Board's point, right.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
This is every mom is like, I'm gonna throw a
great party from my kid, and it's not fun. It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Look. I worked at Kayla West for twenty five years
and I loved that argument. This is not classic rock.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
This isn't rock, this isn't fun. It's terrible, poppy, catchy song.
Play anything else anything.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But I would like for someone to give me a
definitive answer what makes it classic rock and not classic rock.
I've never understood the argument.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
It has to be good, Well, this is a that's terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The problem is.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
They say twenty five years older, and that is getting
into some pretty modern territory.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Nirvana definitely is in the territory. And Greg, what would
you say?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Uh? Oprated there?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
This one terrible?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, I just I never I agree for it to
be a big hit. I would listen to it and go,
what is it with that? Is it the band and
the reputation? Because the song itself falls flat for me. However,
I do like the subject matter.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, and I think the answer is everybody's wrong or
everybody's right. We don't know what makes a big hit.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
And we're all we're all.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Wrong because if we knew the answer, that's what we
would do.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, make a million dollars doing that. I'm interested in
what Sammy has chosen again, a song that everybody loves
except you.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Yes, and now this is a song that was a
big hit on country radio, and I do like the
chi I love country, and I usually love all of
the songs. This one still gets played on country radio
to this day.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
When I hear it, I turn it off. I cannot
stand it.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Got good.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I love this song.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
With the passion this song why.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Because it's not even what a girl crush is.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yeah, that's the irony. She's not saying I have a
crush on a girl. She's saying, I'm jealous of the
girl that you're giving the attention to.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Right, So this song is.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Her saying like she wants the guy that the other
girls stating, so she wants to smell at her and
look like her. So she says she has a girl
crush on, like no, you're psychotic Stoker.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And it's just like slow, okay, Sammy, forgive me? Did
you say who this is?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
And a little big town. I'd never heard around this stuff. Sometimes, yeah,
I read many times.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I will say it's a little slow. It does it
really is a song. It doesn't do anything, it doesn't
drive forward, but I don't hate it, Like I just
love your passion.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And I know the first two notes. When I hear
it on the radio change, I.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Cannot wait for it to kick in.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
She's jealous, you're.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Going to be waiting another three started with the hook.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
She's jealous of the other girl who's getting a lot
of attention, and she says, that's a girl crush.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I think you're right saying it that she's just getting
it wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I just love the fact that Greg's trying to understand.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I really want to get it and I've never heard
the song.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
She is envy and jealousy.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Yeah right, but the whole song is I've got a
girl crash and it's about how she's jealous of this
other girl.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
That's not a girl crush.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, he was.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Just depressed that it wasn't a lesbian song.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
And Sammy's just depressed. It's not about cheating, broke up.
That's not that's not fair, all right.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Now, See, Bess, I have to tell you, in my
in my household, my granddaughter, she's three onyx, she will
fight you to tooth and nail with your choice.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Well that makes perfect sense because my choice, which is
this right here, is it's designed for little kids, and
it's designed for like the trolls four or.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Man.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
I say Bruno Mars and I'll explain. I specifically dislike
anything like this is twenty four carrot magic right. Anything
he does is like his funk soul, because it's all
a put on. He I believe. I believe James Brown,
I believe Marvin Gay, I believe Barry White, I believe
Rick James. Like those guys live the life. Bruno Mars is,
(14:22):
as they say, cosplaying as like a cocaine and champagne baby.
You know, he's trying too hard to be funky and
must come naturally. And Bruno Mars again, like you said,
it's formulaic and it's good for little kids. Nothing, no
offense to your granddaughter. That's who it's for. Because it
(14:44):
is not the real again like that. Forget it's just
from the seventies or not. It's not that it doesn't
have that real fire. But in it he's he's he's
he's pretending and playing like he's some cool silk shirt
hip you know guy, and he's not. He was. He's
been famous since he's twenty.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It sounds like a sprite commercial exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
It sounds like I'm going to an arcadejuiced.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Bruno Mars got his start actually as like a song.
And by the way, his first album, Do Wops and Hooligans.
It sounds like a faded loser trying to be cool,
says very rockabillion punk er. It is, yeah, it is,
it is.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It is.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
It is the exact absence of authenticity, and especially when
he goes into like stuff like that where he's trying
to be oh like, look at me cool, I'm cool
and funky and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
You say that because as a fan of America's Got talent.
When they have singers on that show, I can't put
my finger on it. But it's not that they're singing.
They're doing an imitation of a singer, right, yes, So
like you can tell this is not your voice, this
is not your style. You're imitating a singer. You're not you.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Haven't found what you actually want to do.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yes, you're like, we just it.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You're you're trying to make a hit instead of being
a hit.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Well, I have to tell you, bess. You know the
house that we bought. I told my wife, listen to
this living room. Why do we put stupid furniture where
nobody sits on it? Why don't we we got great kids,
put these cushions, you can buy them. They roll into
oh yeah, And I'm the DJ when the grandkids are over.
And if I put on twenty four Carrot Magic and
try to move to another song, the crap look I
(16:13):
get from Onyx and Milo. It is the worst. So
I love your analogy. They will not.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
It's it's not music for adults.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
No, I agree.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
We here's six two six. My five year old loves
that song. I love that song. Exactly. This is again
it's but I dislike it because of how hard he
tries to pretend like, oh look, how smooth, how funky.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I am all right, I want to get mine out
and just get it done. And then who's left?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Who do we see?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Okay, this one? And before I do this, let me
just say that I have all respect, so much respect
for what this song did, what it established, what it represented,
I mean from the heart, seriously, I mean that. But
when you get too legend musicians together to do a
(17:03):
project and they're right together, doesn't it need to be
better than this? What a piece of crap? I mean, really, seriously,
did you really when you wrote that down did you think, ah,
this is great. This is crap? And look, I love
(17:24):
the documentary. I loved watching all this. I mean, the
the nightmare of getting all the stars together and the
bitch fights that must have gone on. He got to
sing eight words, I got three? But what a piece
of crap. As as far as the music, a song,
what it did, all respect was it?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
But did it did solverld hunker?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Is that what happened? Everybody's so full?
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Now take those I could come here every freaking and
I'm sure, Mark. They did a twenty fifth anniversary for Haiti,
which again solve all the problems there.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Oh wait, three dy people in the streets.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, right back.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Wood He's back on Monday morning here on the Woody Show.
Today though we are hanging out with the one and
only Mark TOMPs.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Thank you, Greg. I do want to thank Woody. He
is off doing a good thing. He's at a radio convention.

mornings and this. So he's off doing a good thing.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Absolutely. Hi.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Uh now, Gina, don't let me forget. At some point
before I leave today, I don't know why I can't
remember anything, but for some reason, I was a boy
Scout when I was eight, and I was in it
just short of getting an eagle merit back. Oh yeah,
I still know the boy Scout mayor the creed.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Oh so you're gonna wow us with that before you leave.
Speaker 2 (19:05):

I can't remember the hotel I stayed in last night,
but that I got all right really quickly. This is quick, uh,
Star Wars. There was you know, auctions, people bidding for things,
for items, Hollywood memorabilia. He has always been big yep
that said you can't touch Star Wars memorabileank you for
(19:29):
the stuff. Yeah, it's huge. So recently they had a
Star Wars storm trooper helmet that was camera used in
the very first original Star Wars at auction.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Nerds love that.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
How much oh it has sold?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Well, it's like we always talk about, nerds have money. Yeah,
so it's gonna be big.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
We have credit cards. I'm gonna say two hundred and
fifty thousand.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I was gonna say two twenty five.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Oh, not that.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
I already know because okay.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
All right, Gina's an idiot. One helmet beat up, but
camera used in the tattooing scene. Two hundred fifty six
thousand frickin' dollar.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
NERD's got money or not wrong?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
The Woody Show.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
All right, welcome back to The Woody Show. We're hanging
out with Mark Thompson this morning. Wood He's back Monday morning,
and Mark, you are new legal best friends with No Wiley.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Fairly, I am lucky you were kind enough to ask
the podcast I do. It's called What You do. It's
explicit language, by the way, but I fart around, have
a good time. And also I talk to people that
I want to talk to. I've been trying to get
Noah Wiley. A friend of mine recommended, dude, you got
to see the pit. It's crat Okay, it's graphic af Yes,
(20:51):
what I've heard it is unbelievable. And I became such
a fanboy that I told Rocket Bob he chases guests
down for I said, I gotta get Noah now, as
you were just saying thirteen Emmy nominations, and I said,
I got to talk to it. I gotta tell him
this and get the inside. And so we tried, we tried,
(21:12):
couldn't get him. Rocket Bob got on Instagram and Instagram
Instagram didn't and he responded, I love that to that,
and he said, wow, I was a big market brien fan.
I would love to because normally I couldn't get him.
You know, this is a big show. He's a big name.
My podcast, isn't that. I walked in Monday of this
week in my studio eight o'clock, Bob calls me, can
(21:36):
you talk to Noah right now? He's in his dressing room.
They're shooting season two. They're into the fourth episode, and
I said, of course, so I did. And as we're speaking,
and it's up on the podcast right now as we're speaking,
he's been nominated for Best Actor. And I really felt
as though it should be mine. And now I had
(21:58):
already guaranteed that you would be nominated for Best Actor.
That has already happened. So now what I'm saying is
I am guaranteeing that you are going to win the
Emmy for Best Actor. Now that I've said that, I
want to make sure that you and I are in
(22:20):
agreement that if you win the Emmy for Best Actor,
you're going to give that Emmy to me.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
Because of the guarantee, because.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
No, just because I want it.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
I am so incredibly fired by this nomination. It's going
to sound right to say, but I've already reached so
many benefits from this experience. I feel already.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Like I've won.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
And anytime your name is being mentioned in the company
of Gary Oldman or Sirley K. Brown or any of
the other men that I'm oh, you know edw Pascal,
Adam Scott, these are tremendous, tremendous performers. I couldn't be
happy just to be invited to the party.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You know, it sounds like he's saying, but I can
tell you, having been nominated and singled out for a
certain thing, whatever it was, what he's saying is absolutely true.
You feel so honored to be mentioned in the group
of people that you just cited. What he's saying is
absolutely true. But we still haven't solidified that you're going
(23:25):
to give the Emmy to me? If you win it?
Speaker 10 (23:28):
Do we share it? We come up with this like
a schedule, so every once in a while my kids
can see.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
That it's a really good way to get out of it.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Can't we share it?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Not?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Or I'll flip you for it? You know, I really
the pit. I don't know that I've ever seen a
finer performance. We're talking about an actor used to be
on ER. We talked a bit about that his performance.
He's he is damaged goods as a physician in an
er and the way that they produce it act at
(24:11):
the areas that they go to. I've just never there
was one segment that lasted three episodes. It was so
intense that I would know that it dropped on that day,
and I would have to make sure that I was
capable of what's coming now. Yeah, it's that good. Thirteen
Emmy nominations, two for writing and so my conversation with
(24:35):
him in full on my podcast What You Do, What
You Do.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And there's one scene if you haven't watched The Pit yet,
where a woman is giving birth. My god, I freaked out.
How is that not just real?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Because they because they shoot handheld, you feel like you're
standing at the table while this person is hemorrhaging and
about to die. Yes, and there's nothing you can do,
and you see the baby. It is some of the
best television.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
It's really great HBO Max and What You Do is
the podcast to hear Mark Thompson talking with Noah Wiley.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
We're going to talk more with Mark Thompson next on
The Woody Show. If you're we'll be right back. Mark.
We've been talking about some breakfast plans for later this morning.
Without naming the name of the place, there's this place
we're considering going to with you and on the front
where they show the grade for the restaurant, normally it's
(25:30):
an A or at least you hope it's going to
be an A Sammy was at this particular place not
too long ago. And notice the grade was a B B.
Would that deter you from going to a restaurant graded
B or anybody for that matter, to two nine eighty
seven let us know B. I'm I'm going for it,
really seeing under, not going for it. Okay.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
I went to a place in little Tokyo and it
was a D at one.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Point, and it was the greatest experience of my life.
They waited on us hand and foot. They made sure
our drinks were refilled the whole time. The food was fresh.
It was good when it went to a C. Still
good B still okay, A terrible.
Speaker 9 (26:07):
They didn't care about us at all, So maybe roach
bits taste good.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Were it could have been a dirty rag.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
You don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
We had a D.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Those were the days. Bring back the D. That's what
I say. Everything
It's a Woody Show. Welcome back to the Woody Show, Woodie.
We'll be back Monday morning along with Menace. They're busy
at their morning show boot camp. But in the meantime
today we decided let's bring Mark Thompson in and let
him do all the heavy lifting. I'm loving it, loving it.
I'm especially looking forward to this segment because you gave
us an assignment, and I thought it was a difficult assignment.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You know, this is one of the SiGe that you
were kindly asking what I do, and I do a
podcast and I still do the old school radio crap.
You come up with an idea of something, you try it.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This one has worked
pretty well. People are having fun with it.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
So it's basically called songs I hate. This is a song,
and we all have this. This is a song that
everybody loves it except you, and there's something about it
that you just don't like. There's no rhyme or reason,
but that's what it is. So the quest is choose
one everybody did? And so where should we start? Why
(01:04):
don't we go with Let's go with Gina.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Okay, this was kind of a no brainer for me,
because I know it was a massive hit, it got
all the radio play in the world.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But I just can't take it.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I hate it so much.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Now refreshment, this is marine vibe. She will be loved.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I do like this.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, well, here we go to it gets worse.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I hate it so much.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
It does sound I can see it sounds fake, It
sounds forced. It sounds like, hey, make make a love
song that idiots will like it.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Thank you, thank you well.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I mean again, you hate it, but it's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I don't know. To me, it just drones on and on.
It's slow. I find it depressing.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I personally have a little bit of a problem listening
to Adam Levine's falsetto.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
That's just a preference. It's just not my thing.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
And this song really showcases the part of it that
just it does not work for me.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Okay, and they have other songs that are fine and dandy.
I hate this song.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We were playing it on the podcast and one listener
chose and this was one of those where I didn't
realize how much I fricking hated it. Morris Albert feelings everything,
every God is this a cry alone at Home with
(02:43):
a glass of wine song.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It is, and there's a personal tie because my late
grandmother loved that song and it reminds me of her.
If I drink wine and listen to feelings, it's it's emotional, visceral.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Mark hates Greg's grandmother pretty much.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yes, that's what.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
We're happy that she died. But as far as Maroon
five goes, the reason I'm not a huge fan of
that song is pure jealousy and pure ignorance as to
Maroon five being that big of a band. Because when
Adam Levine bought a house from Ellen Degenerous, I think
he paid forty five million dollars crazy, And I thought
(03:21):
to myself, Okay, I know who Maroon five is. I
know who Adam Levine is, but forty five million?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, Ellen, how does he have Ellen money? Do you
know you're in Maroon five?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Are they that big of a band?
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Greg? You're not listening to the soccer momstage?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I guess not.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
They have numerous number one, even more top ten hits.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Thank you, And that's the thing. Some of their songs
pop band catchy. I get it this song I cannot
abide by.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But you know what I'm talking about Mark. If Mick
Jagger bought Ellen's house, I'd be like, yeah, that makes sense,
but random ass Adam Levine, no questions.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Well, he moved in like Mick Jagger.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And also he has that voice. Money, he's on the voice.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Yeah, you know in any commercial, any movie there are
they are the definition and success in the best selling.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Out Well, my Adam Levine knowledge is nil.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Okay, nothing, nothing, So that's my choice.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I also liked the guy on the podcast who chose feelings,
Morris Albert. I loved his reasoning. He was in a
bar band and it was mostly older people, and he
said we had to do feelings ten times a night.
And if I hear it again, yeah makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Greg.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's it's going to be year turn. This is a
song yeah that we all absolutely love, but you just
can't stand it.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I think this assignment was difficult because a lot of
the songs that I hate, I think are generally universally hated,
so people would agree like, oh, of course you hate
that song. It sucks and it sounds terrible. So this one,
I think the reason I might hate it is because
it gets too much warh and I'll tell you why
something ruined it for me? I know this is bold
(05:10):
there grungs, God's Kurt Cobain is, you know, the object
of shrines people worship.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
This song.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Specifically is as often pegged as they change in the
music industry, absolutely for about ten.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Years, and it's not lost on me. I get its impact.
I get Nirvana's importance. I totally get it. The thing
that ruined it for me. Two things. Number One, if
I look at art like a painting, I'm more impressed
if it's something I couldn't do. Okay, you know, like,
if you're looking at an abstract, you could probably do that.
(05:47):
But if you're looking at a masterpiece and you think, God,
that painting looks like a photograph, I could never do that.
I think most bands could recreate this sloppy sound, so
it makes it less impressive to me.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
But there's a lot of credit that goes to being
the first to do this kind of thing. Would you
not agree?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I would agree with that now, and then a music
enthusiastics would say, well, they weren't the Melvins and other
punk bands were away. They were just copying them, right,
But guess what they Nirvana is the ones that broke
out so exactly right, and what you.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
What you said reminds me of what people say about
modern art, which is someone says I could do that,
and he says.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, but she didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But you didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You didn't think of it, you want to.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
The other thing that ruined Nirvana for me was this
documentary about Kurt Cobain. It's I believe it was called
Montage of Heck, and I watched it thinking I'm going
to come out of this having a brand new, newly
unimproved appreciation for Nirvana. Nirvana. It ruined it for me
because Kurt Cobain is one of these people much like
this Chapel Rowan Roan Chapel Roan, who sought fame, sought fortune,
(06:53):
sought fandom, got it, and then they hate it. Kurt
Cobain spent his entire trial wanting to be famous, wanting
to be have his music heard. Then he got famous.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
A singer, don't.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Come to the n TV movie.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You want, don't go to the Grammy listen.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I've always had that issue with actors. Oh they wont
my picture in my autograph. Guess what, You're in the
wrong business. Don't work at a grocery store.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Look, I absolutely get what you're saying. But you know,
a lot of times in this in these cases, you
don't know what it's like, and then you get there
and young, hmm.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
You willing to find out.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I'm totally willing to find out. And if you're upset
about once, once you find out what it's like, go
take a treasure bath and cheer yourself up. Go buy
yourself a secluded cabin and live happily ever after on
the interest from your millions. You're gonna be Okay, weir,
I'm famous. Well, this is also this chapel Roone. I've
(07:56):
seen it, and I like it. Some of her songs
are perky. But my wife absolutely Adoors loves I just
kind of look at it and go, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I see what you doing.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
It is what it is like. Sabrina Carpenter, she's fine,
she's great, she's lovely, she's a hot little piece. But
but is she doing anything different than what Madonna did
forty years ago?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Not really? You know, good for her, right good? Yeah,
she's doing it. She's doing it.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I know we have to break, but I have to
say this, Madonna. I took my kids, my whole family.
It's Madonna. I'm not a huge, huge fan, but I
spent the money. I went. I sat there for two
hours waiting for the bitch to come out. And here's
the part. I asked the guy who runs the venue,
because I've met him, I said, it's hot in here.
(08:40):
I was literally sweating, sweat dripping off my hair, and
I say, Kenny, turn on the air and he goes, well, no,
Madonna needs it at this for her voice. That was it.
You can kiss my as I'm not never going to
come back. That ruined it. Oh just sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well this is This is a totally fun segment, Mark,
and we're going to do more of it next on The.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Woody Shown is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Songs I hate. With Mark Thompson on The Woody Show
on a Friday morning, we had Gina, we had Me
and now who are we moving on to Mark?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I've already told him this off that you were so
good at this. Marklim no way, I'm just like hanging
out and I'm so glad you're here to just do that.
Thank you, Mark, bart Let's go you again. Songs that
you just can't stand, but everybody else absolutely loves it.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So this song.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
I already had to distaste for it, but I didn't
know how much it would grow until I worked in
classic rock radio and they played it every single day.
Every third hour, it would come into play, and I'm like,
this is not classic rock. This is the party song
for every soccer mom that thinks she's cool and she's
got fun, fun party for kids, and it's this one.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, I hate it. Look, it's it's perky, but it's
a catchy.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
I just wonder why I look at Genus dancing again,
I hate it, Proving Board's point, right.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
This is every mom is like, I'm gonna throw a
great party from my kid, and it's not fun. It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Look. I worked at Kayla West for twenty five years
and I loved that argument. This is not classic rock.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
This isn't rock, this isn't fun. It's terrible, poppy, catchy song.
Play anything else anything.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But I would like for someone to give me a
definitive answer what makes it classic rock and not classic rock.
I've never understood the argument.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
It has to be good, Well, this is a that's terrible.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The problem is.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
They say twenty five years older, and that is getting
into some pretty modern territory.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Nirvana definitely is in the territory. And Greg, what would
you say?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Uh? Oprated there?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
This one terrible?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, I just I never I agree for it to
be a big hit. I would listen to it and go,
what is it with that? Is it the band and
the reputation? Because the song itself falls flat for me. However,
I do like the subject matter.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, and I think the answer is everybody's wrong or
everybody's right. We don't know what makes a big hit.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
And we're all we're all.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Wrong because if we knew the answer, that's what we
would do.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, make a million dollars doing that. I'm interested in
what Sammy has chosen again, a song that everybody loves
except you.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Yes, and now this is a song that was a
big hit on country radio, and I do like the
chi I love country, and I usually love all of
the songs. This one still gets played on country radio
to this day.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
When I hear it, I turn it off. I cannot
stand it.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Got good.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I love this song.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
With the passion this song why.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Because it's not even what a girl crush is.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yeah, that's the irony. She's not saying I have a
crush on a girl. She's saying, I'm jealous of the
girl that you're giving the attention to.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Right, So this song is.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Her saying like she wants the guy that the other
girls stating, so she wants to smell at her and
look like her. So she says she has a girl
crush on, like no, you're psychotic Stoker.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And it's just like slow, okay, Sammy, forgive me? Did
you say who this is?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
And a little big town. I'd never heard around this stuff. Sometimes, yeah,
I read many times.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I will say it's a little slow. It does it
really is a song. It doesn't do anything, it doesn't
drive forward, but I don't hate it, Like I just
love your passion.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And I know the first two notes. When I hear
it on the radio change, I.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Cannot wait for it to kick in.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
She's jealous, you're.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Going to be waiting another three started with the hook.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
She's jealous of the other girl who's getting a lot
of attention, and she says, that's a girl crush.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I think you're right saying it that she's just getting
it wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I just love the fact that Greg's trying to understand.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I really want to get it and I've never heard
the song.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
She is envy and jealousy.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Yeah right, but the whole song is I've got a
girl crash and it's about how she's jealous of this
other girl.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
That's not a girl crush.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, he was.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Just depressed that it wasn't a lesbian song.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
And Sammy's just depressed. It's not about cheating, broke up.
That's not that's not fair, all right.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Now, See, Bess, I have to tell you, in my
in my household, my granddaughter, she's three onyx, she will
fight you to tooth and nail with your choice.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Well that makes perfect sense because my choice, which is
this right here, is it's designed for little kids, and
it's designed for like the trolls four or.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Man.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
I say Bruno Mars and I'll explain. I specifically dislike
anything like this is twenty four carrot magic right. Anything
he does is like his funk soul, because it's all
a put on. He I believe. I believe James Brown,
I believe Marvin Gay, I believe Barry White, I believe
Rick James. Like those guys live the life. Bruno Mars is,
(14:22):
as they say, cosplaying as like a cocaine and champagne baby.
You know, he's trying too hard to be funky and
must come naturally. And Bruno Mars again, like you said,
it's formulaic and it's good for little kids. Nothing, no
offense to your granddaughter. That's who it's for. Because it
(14:44):
is not the real again like that. Forget it's just
from the seventies or not. It's not that it doesn't
have that real fire. But in it he's he's he's
he's pretending and playing like he's some cool silk shirt
hip you know guy, and he's not. He was. He's
been famous since he's twenty.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It sounds like a sprite commercial exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
It sounds like I'm going to an arcadejuiced.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Bruno Mars got his start actually as like a song.
And by the way, his first album, Do Wops and Hooligans.
It sounds like a faded loser trying to be cool,
says very rockabillion punk er. It is, yeah, it is,
it is.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It is.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
It is the exact absence of authenticity, and especially when
he goes into like stuff like that where he's trying
to be oh like, look at me cool, I'm cool
and funky and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
You say that because as a fan of America's Got talent.
When they have singers on that show, I can't put
my finger on it. But it's not that they're singing.
They're doing an imitation of a singer, right, yes, So
like you can tell this is not your voice, this
is not your style. You're imitating a singer. You're not you.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Haven't found what you actually want to do.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yes, you're like, we just it.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You're you're trying to make a hit instead of being
a hit.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Well, I have to tell you, bess. You know the
house that we bought. I told my wife, listen to
this living room. Why do we put stupid furniture where
nobody sits on it? Why don't we we got great kids,
put these cushions, you can buy them. They roll into
oh yeah, And I'm the DJ when the grandkids are over.
And if I put on twenty four Carrot Magic and
try to move to another song, the crap look I
(16:13):
get from Onyx and Milo. It is the worst. So
I love your analogy. They will not.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
It's it's not music for adults.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
No, I agree.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
We here's six two six. My five year old loves
that song. I love that song. Exactly. This is again
it's but I dislike it because of how hard he
tries to pretend like, oh look, how smooth, how funky.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I am all right, I want to get mine out
and just get it done. And then who's left?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Who do we see?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Okay, this one? And before I do this, let me
just say that I have all respect, so much respect
for what this song did, what it established, what it represented,
I mean from the heart, seriously, I mean that. But
when you get too legend musicians together to do a
(17:03):
project and they're right together, doesn't it need to be
better than this? What a piece of crap? I mean, really, seriously,
did you really when you wrote that down did you think, ah,
this is great. This is crap? And look, I love
(17:24):
the documentary. I loved watching all this. I mean, the
the nightmare of getting all the stars together and the
bitch fights that must have gone on. He got to
sing eight words, I got three? But what a piece
of crap. As as far as the music, a song,
what it did, all respect was it?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
But did it did solverld hunker?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Is that what happened? Everybody's so full?
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Now take those I could come here every freaking and
I'm sure, Mark. They did a twenty fifth anniversary for Haiti,
which again solve all the problems there.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Oh wait, three dy people in the streets.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, right back.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Wood He's back on Monday morning here on the Woody Show.
Today though we are hanging out with the one and
only Mark TOMPs.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Thank you, Greg. I do want to thank Woody. He
is off doing a good thing. He's at a radio convention.
Woody is a big star in radio and cease. He's
there teaching the younger radio people had a deal with
mornings and this. So he's off doing a good thing.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Absolutely. Hi.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Uh now, Gina, don't let me forget. At some point
before I leave today, I don't know why I can't
remember anything, but for some reason, I was a boy
Scout when I was eight, and I was in it
just short of getting an eagle merit back. Oh yeah,
I still know the boy Scout mayor the creed.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Oh so you're gonna wow us with that before you leave.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And I don't read it, it's I have it in memory. Again.
I can't remember the hotel I stayed in last night,
but that I got all right really quickly. This is quick, uh,

that said you can't touch Star Wars memorabileank you for
(19:29):

Star Wars storm trooper helmet that was camera used in
the very first original Star Wars at auction.

We have credit cards. I'm gonna say two hundred and
fifty thousand.

Oh, not that.

I already know because okay.

The Woody Show.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
All right, welcome back to The Woody Show. We're hanging
out with Mark Thompson this morning. Wood He's back Monday morning,
and Mark, you are new legal best friends with No Wiley.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Fairly, I am lucky you were kind enough to ask
the podcast I do. It's called What You do. It's
explicit language, by the way, but I fart around, have
a good time. And also I talk to people that
I want to talk to. I've been trying to get
Noah Wiley. A friend of mine recommended, dude, you got
to see the pit. It's crat Okay, it's graphic af Yes,
(20:51):
what I've heard it is unbelievable. And I became such
a fanboy that I told Rocket Bob he chases guests
down for I said, I gotta get Noah now, as
you were just saying thirteen Emmy nominations, and I said,
I got to talk to it. I gotta tell him
this and get the inside. And so we tried, we tried,
(21:12):
couldn't get him. Rocket Bob got on Instagram and Instagram
Instagram didn't and he responded, I love that to that,
and he said, wow, I was a big market brien fan.
I would love to because normally I couldn't get him.
You know, this is a big show. He's a big name.
My podcast, isn't that. I walked in Monday of this
week in my studio eight o'clock, Bob calls me, can
(21:36):
you talk to Noah right now? He's in his dressing room.
They're shooting season two. They're into the fourth episode, and
I said, of course, so I did. And as we're speaking,
and it's up on the podcast right now as we're speaking,
he's been nominated for Best Actor. And I really felt
as though it should be mine. And now I had
(21:58):
already guaranteed that you would be nominated for Best Actor.
That has already happened. So now what I'm saying is
I am guaranteeing that you are going to win the
Emmy for Best Actor. Now that I've said that, I
want to make sure that you and I are in
(22:20):
agreement that if you win the Emmy for Best Actor,
you're going to give that Emmy to me.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
Because of the guarantee, because.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
No, just because I want it.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
I am so incredibly fired by this nomination. It's going
to sound right to say, but I've already reached so
many benefits from this experience. I feel already.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Like I've won.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
And anytime your name is being mentioned in the company
of Gary Oldman or Sirley K. Brown or any of
the other men that I'm oh, you know edw Pascal,
Adam Scott, these are tremendous, tremendous performers. I couldn't be
happy just to be invited to the party.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You know, it sounds like he's saying, but I can
tell you, having been nominated and singled out for a
certain thing, whatever it was, what he's saying is absolutely true.
You feel so honored to be mentioned in the group
of people that you just cited. What he's saying is
absolutely true. But we still haven't solidified that you're going
(23:25):
to give the Emmy to me? If you win it?
Speaker 10 (23:28):
Do we share it? We come up with this like
a schedule, so every once in a while my kids
can see.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
That it's a really good way to get out of it.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Can't we share it?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Not?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Or I'll flip you for it? You know, I really
the pit. I don't know that I've ever seen a
finer performance. We're talking about an actor used to be
on ER. We talked a bit about that his performance.
He's he is damaged goods as a physician in an
er and the way that they produce it act at
(24:11):
the areas that they go to. I've just never there
was one segment that lasted three episodes. It was so
intense that I would know that it dropped on that day,
and I would have to make sure that I was
capable of what's coming now. Yeah, it's that good. Thirteen
Emmy nominations, two for writing and so my conversation with
(24:35):
him in full on my podcast What You Do, What
You Do.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And there's one scene if you haven't watched The Pit yet,
where a woman is giving birth. My god, I freaked out.
How is that not just real?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Because they because they shoot handheld, you feel like you're
standing at the table while this person is hemorrhaging and
about to die. Yes, and there's nothing you can do,
and you see the baby. It is some of the
best television.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
It's really great HBO Max and What You Do is
the podcast to hear Mark Thompson talking with Noah Wiley.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
We're going to talk more with Mark Thompson next on
The Woody Show. If you're we'll be right back. Mark.
We've been talking about some breakfast plans for later this morning.
Without naming the name of the place, there's this place
we're considering going to with you and on the front
where they show the grade for the restaurant, normally it's
(25:30):
an A or at least you hope it's going to
be an A Sammy was at this particular place not
too long ago. And notice the grade was a B B.
Would that deter you from going to a restaurant graded
B or anybody for that matter, to two nine eighty
seven let us know B. I'm I'm going for it,
really seeing under, not going for it. Okay.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
I went to a place in little Tokyo and it
was a D at one.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Point, and it was the greatest experience of my life.
They waited on us hand and foot. They made sure
our drinks were refilled the whole time. The food was fresh.
It was good when it went to a C. Still
good B still okay, A terrible.
Speaker 9 (26:07):
They didn't care about us at all, So maybe roach
bits taste good.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Were it could have been a dirty rag.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
You don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
We had a D.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Those were the days. Bring back the D. That's what
I say. Everything
