Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Housemaid. I don't watch.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I know it's Sydney Sweeney bad. I do watch, But
the person who wrote the books? Are you a Housemaid person?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
I have read her books. I did not. I thought
I read this one. I read one called The Maid.
But I have read her books. They're very good.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Her being FREEDA. McFadden correct, Right, how many books has
she written?

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (00:22):
My gosh, probably eighty.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I feel like, really she's ready books.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
She's not Stephen King. She probably has written thirty thirty books. Yeah,
I'd have to check, but yeah, I mean every time
I turn around, she has a new new book coming out.
And I haven't even read the last one yet.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
And I can appreciate that she is very famous.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Like, I haven't read any of her books. I haven't
watched The Housemaid, but I can. I certainly know who
she is, and I certainly understand how famous she is.

Speaker 5 (00:50):
I did not know who she was. Remember, we just
talked about The Housemaid the other day for the sequel
or whatever they're going to call it, Housemaid two, And
I didn't Sarah give us the plot synopsis, and I
was like, that's what it's about.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, I've never seen it.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
That was the wrong one. This is the housemaid. I
thought it was the.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Maid, right, dummy, that's quite good.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
But yeah, she's a maid in a hotel, not like
this one where she is working for a rich family.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
I was not familiar with the name.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, but you knew you knew Sidney Sweeney. Yeah, I know,
that's it.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
It's horrible that you don't know the author. I didn't
even know it was a book.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh, I feel like I knew that it was. I
feel like I knew that it was a book. I
didn't know how many books, Freda.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
I don't mean to be like pegging people based on gender,
but I think more women will have read her books
than men.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Oh okay, that's fine.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
You've been here long enough, Sarah to know that.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
What you meant to say is, I'm surprised Elliott knew
who the name was. Yes, I am.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm surprised, but you're white Freedsi's books.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
But here's what I here's what I did not know.
Freda McFadden is not her name.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
What do you mean it's not her name.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
That's not her name.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
It's not all the books Freda McFadden.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Her name is Sarah Cohen.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Is that's a pseudonym.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
No, it's like a whole separate identity.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Oh so she makes appearances like people see Freda out
and about.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, like who has a famous who has a famous
non diplome? Like like I can't, nothing comes to mind. Yeah, okay,
that works. But the there so Freda Sarah, the Sarah.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Cohen, the real woman's name, the woman's real name. I
should say she's a doctor, like that's her professional way,
I sort.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Of, God, she writes a book every two weeks.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
She's a doctor.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
But didn't people see her out as the author of
The Housemaid and other time.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Didn't she get sign her books and stuff?

Speaker 1 (03:01):
She sure did.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, and people that's actually our fellow doctor.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
No, because she wore disguises. No, I swear to God.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
So she looked different every since.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
I feel like lying to me.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
I'm not lying.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
Oh yeah, no, legitimately don't know that.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
No, No, And listen, she wore disguise, like this is
me as Freeda. And when I go to work and
put on my white jacket, this is what I look like.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
The best selling author known of the world is Freedom
McFadden is revealing her true identity. McFadden, whose prolific output
includes The Housemaid and other domestic thrillers. Use as a pseudonym,
also a wig and glasses to maintain her privacy in public.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
When she first began publishing, she didn't want Oh so
she's a doctor in real life, but she didn't want
the two worlds to not not combined, but to be together.
And I don't know why she thought it would be
I'm not distracting, but like people at work, like it
would be a problem at work. As her popularity grew,

(04:07):
so did her secret. On the heels of her first
Housemaid movie and a second one on the Way and
all of her best sellers, McFadden says, it's time to
reveal my real identity. I'm at a point in my
career where I'm tired of being a secret. I'm tired
of people debating if I'm a real person or if

(04:28):
i'm three men. I'm a real person and I have
a real identity and I don't have anything to hide.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
So were there people who thought that? Makes you think
there were people who thought like, oh freedom, McFadden isn't
even the author.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
It's just people are people are writing the books and
hiding behind that name, it's.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Happened before that? H a gender doesn't you're a woman
writing about spies, they don't want to read it. Men
don't want to read it. If you're a man writing
abou out a domestic uh thriller, it's not as appealing.
So they would change their name to be female. Oh really,

(05:08):
So that's why perhaps they thought three men wrote this,
because if we know it's three men, we're not going
to read these books.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
Were the wigs bad?

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Like? Did she.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Not trigger people? But did she make people suspicious when
she did this?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Like did her yeah?

Speaker 5 (05:23):
Like?

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Did did the wig look like? Like would people look
at her and go.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
But or or I mean, listen, she's got enough money,
she can get a decent wig.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Like you're saying that you know her, but you don't
know what she looks like.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
She's got glasses.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well you said that, Yeah no, but I mean I
wouldn't know, Like I mean, I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Isn't her hair kind of like it like wispy?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Like she's very she's very This sounds horrible and I
don't mean for it too, but she's very generic looking
like there you don't look at it, for example, there
are there are there are things about Sydney's we need
that kind of stick out right, Like you wouldn't describe
Sidney Sweeney as being generic looking there and again that

(06:08):
sounds horrible, but you see what I mean. It's like
she she is very nondescript. She's got reddish hair.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
And I mean she's cute. I mean she's pretty. I
don't know what you want me to say, but there's
nothing about her that is kind of like, oh, look
at that.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
Wig, but she doesn't have reddish hair. It is fake.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Well, no, the reddish hair I saw? What did I see?

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Which person can she have had in any public appearance
prior to this big reveal?

Speaker 1 (06:36):
So what color is her hair? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Well, I've never seen because I read Kendall. I've never
seen the back page where they have a picture of
the author.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Another reason, get off the kid. Another reason?

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Wait, So what is that that many people were in
on this secret, her.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
And her publicist, her publisher, but no one figured it
out at her job.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
She said that there were a handful of people that
had a guess or suspected it, but she would never
confirm it.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
He was donating books to our lobby, Is she.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Getting on that.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
But also now, and I understand she did say like
as as hers as her fame grew that that sounds
wrong because it wasn't because of her fame, but as
her fame grew, her time was more was taken up more.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
So she started cutting back. She's treating brain disorders.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
It's it's not like she's just you know, yeah, no, no,
like she's got a legit job at a hospital or
in the medical field, so it's not like she's, you know,
like the receptionist and she's just going on break. So
she started to cut back on her time at work
because she was having to travel and do book appearances
as as as Freda and then go back as Sarah.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
But you also wonder if she wasn't because it's made
into this big movie, if she wasn't expected to be
on the Red carpet and didn't want to start doing
red carpet appearances in Hollywood with her bad wig.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
But I said she did it for the house man.
I see her.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
She was there.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
She was there with the bad wig on Maybe.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
You keep saying who was who was the last person
that wasn't there somebody here who had a rug.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
To what call it what you want the dog?

Speaker 5 (08:24):
I know some people color the dog.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
I do not color the dog.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
You.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Oh, I mean.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Who were we talking about here? Wasn't there somebody here
we were talking about?

Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Who was it?

Speaker 5 (08:37):
I'm not going to say the name. I don't remember it.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
He write it down.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
I don't remember it, but I but you're right somebody here.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Was Was it coloring? Or did? Were they wearing?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
The most recent I think was wearing somebody here was
wearing a wig?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Who was wearing a wig Christmas?

Speaker 3 (08:51):
You're saying a male covering up the baldness, not a
woman trying to look different?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Correct? Correct?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
So which person are we looking at here?

Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's Freda?

Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's Freda at.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
The housemade red carpet.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Wow, Okay, the wig's not bad.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
No, Like that's she's got money. She could buy a
good rug.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
So when she was interviewed and maybe was asked questions
about she's got a little bit of be besidis, her past,
her childhood, her upbringing. Yeah was it all?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh, I don't know what the backstory is, like, I
don't know what her I don't know what her fake
story is.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
Because if you it's one thing to be a pen
name but be anonymous. It's another thing to have to
make these appearances and do these interviews. Yeah, where'd you
go to school? And your whole story? For any sort
of interview, question and answer, you you have to have answers.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
So this may have done her more bad than good.
So this woman is just a perpetual liar.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Like does.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Jenna Bush I see interviewed her for the Today Show.
Does she feel like she got floyd landist the cyclist
lied to Elliott's face about cheating you.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Remember, Yeah, he came in and was and couldn't have
been nicer. I'm just gonna do a charity bike ride
with him. I love the guy and he's swore up
and down. He's clean, he's clean, he's clean, and I
did I was like, I love Floyd landis Yeah, liar,
big liar, just like Freedom McFadden.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
At least it's a uniform lie. Like it wasn't just
you he lied to.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, he didn't. He didn't.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
He didn't take out, he didn't take off his his
biking outfit and go by the name.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
My name's Jim. I know.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
But if I'm someone who sat with her everything, there's
no way you can tell Sarah's her real name, Sarah Cohen.
You can't if you're Freda, you can't tell Sarah Cohn's
story because you'll be uncovered. Yeah right, you know, you
gonna have your own Story's got to have her own story.
A writer, so she's clever or whatever. But you can't

(11:00):
then say something that contradicts the story you've told. In
what has to be many many interviews, When did she
first start publishing books that got some press.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
She's been around twelve for some years, right, quite a while.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
A couple of workers did find out, but they were
really nice about it and kept her secret. Many of
them were already fans of her books, but had no
idea that they had been working with the author.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
When you, Elliott were Russell the Love Muscle? Oh yes yes?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
At Pirate Radio?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Did you.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Have to create a backstory?

Speaker 5 (11:34):
Well, I'm not going to go that far, but when
people talk to you at promotions, did Russell live in
quotes a different life than Elliott? No, so you would say,
because la is where you would get one pizza and
that would be your dinner for the whole week.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Right, No, well, yes, yeah, I need have.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
But Russell would do that too.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
It was the same person.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
I know.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
I'm saying, was there any element of Russell that almost
got it? Because Russell was a sign to you, right,
you didn't pick the name correct?

Speaker 1 (12:13):
That is correct?

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yes, But were you assigned any traits that you had
to keep up?

Speaker 6 (12:19):
No?

Speaker 2 (12:19):
It neither was Nordley, Charlie nor nor Humpty Hump or
brother Bill like you were who you were.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
You just had a stupid radio name.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
So not even a look that you had to in
public keep up.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
No.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Well, on the air, I didn't know if because it
is a an audio based medium, if something was said about.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
I only know.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
I only knew one person in radio who had a
fake name. But there was also a bit of a
backstory written into it.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
Here we go, Oh, can you not say?

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I don't want to no, I want to say. I
don't want to say, Sarah.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
Do you have anyone that you can say.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Wait, hold on this. I just feel like this would
be wrong.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
It's hell yeah, what that's who you're protecting. Yeah, fine,
don't say. I'm not saying it's fine to say. I mean,
I get why you're doing it, but it's also absurd.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
The I agree, But there was some backstory built in
on that back to Sarah, not Sarah Cohen, Like he
didn't go to Drexel.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I know people who have lied about who they are
and stuck with it, but not a completely different persona.
So like the fake name and maybe some fake backstory, like, oh,
I went to Drexel. Actually I had a friend who
told everybody who went to Drexel, even had a tattoo.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
No, I'm sorry, but this is not a radio friend. Yeah,
oh it is. I'm just saying I also have a
friend who lies.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't think so. No, but he same thing, literally
had a Drexel tattoo.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
And I never went to Drexel. Idiot? Right?

Speaker 5 (13:58):
But but did they get that tattoo for some fandom
reason or got that to keep the story going?

Speaker 3 (14:03):
It was part of the whole story.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Oh my god, wait wait I missed the beginning part
I was thinking about.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Wait, so wait, who is this person?

Speaker 3 (14:17):
A radio guy?

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Right? And so did he work in Philly?

Speaker 3 (14:20):
He was from South Jersey, right, which is Philly, and worked, Yes,
worked in Philly, and so he had kind of developed
his own little backstory which wasn't real and.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Got a Drexel tattoo.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, that would be like me going out and getting
a University of Maryland tattoo?

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah, is that where Russell went?

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Now?

Speaker 5 (14:43):
I don't know what to believe.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Do I know this person?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh you might write it down.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
No, No, this is this is our k fabe the
what like?

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm not gonna say it. I just want to know
if I know who it is.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
But even amongst us, there should be some secrecy. I
don't like you telling me that you were Russell. I
knew that keeps something out wrong. I knew you were Russell.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Well can I ask you this? Can I ask you this?

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I only knew you as Danny, correct, And I only
assumed that you started going by Sarah because you were
working with Bonaducca.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
That is what happens, right, that is Danny for a
very long time.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
I don't know if your real name is Sarah or
your real name is Danny. Based on your email, I'm
going to assume it's Sarah.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Well that's a brand new email. But yeah, but when
I knew you in.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
New York, you knew of you you were Dan yes, right?

Speaker 3 (15:35):
And when I joined Danny Bonaducci, they're like, that's too cute.
To be Danny and Danny right. So I mean I've
had a couple different names in radio, and I will say,
as far as like a fake backstory goes, I have
had program directors bosses ask that i'd be single even
though I wasn't married or in a committed relationship.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
So that you came across as like misavailable.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yes, did you push back on him initially?

Speaker 5 (16:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (16:03):
I think once I got married, like, that's that's not
cool to my husband. I didn't really tell him that
I was but her boyfriend girlfriend, it wasn't as big
of a deal. But once you're married, like, that's that's
a huge that's.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Weird, that's very odd.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
But then did you have to avoid going Okay, can.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
We just ask who the person in Philly is? Like
it's killing me.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
Oh but this is good if she had to portray
herself because I'm thinking, oh, go ahead, go ahead. Could
your at the time, it sounds like when you got married,
you you swept that away. Yeah, but when you were dating,
could you not appear and.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Oh no, he never showed up. Oh my god, I
was single and ready to mingle. We had so we
had to.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Can I ask about the person in Philly, because I
know that this is not a real name, but would
it be Cheo the hit Man?

Speaker 1 (16:50):
No, damn it.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
I learned that this week two of our producers in
Philly had kind of fake backstories, and one of them
was guy that story. Okay, and this other guy is
still with Odyssey, and his whole thing was that he
was like, I'm so metrosexual when that was a word,
and that was his persona.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
So he would have to dress like that to go out.
Who's that? Do I know him?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
His nickname was metro No, but metrosexual? That was his
name on air?

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Okay, well the hit Man wasn't his real name. But
do I know whoever this guy is? You might, damn it,
I want to know.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
I mean, you could just google that, because now I
did just out of him.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
He doesn't go by that anymore.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
Ben name was too much.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Okay, nobody is choosing Russell the Love Muscle as signed
a story. No, no, no, no, no. Scott would call
me Elliott half the time. You think he'd remember my backstory?

Speaker 5 (17:51):
How often did that happen?

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Probably once a week, twice a week. Hey Elliott, I
mean Russell Elliott? Like yeah, like he couldn't like, didn't
you go use like he's not gonna remember that.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Did the others get their real names mixed up with
their fake names?

Speaker 3 (18:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Let me ask ty Humpty humpy God, yes, all of them.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
The only one he got right was brother Built.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
I forgot my name on the air once your own name, yeah,
because it was Yes, I was working in like a
bunch of different radio markets. The name, the name I
was pretty stupid. Carle Thomas, Oh my god, And I finished,
I was doing a traffic report. That's the name, Carle Thomas.

(18:37):
I'm so clever. And I was like, yeah, with your
traffic I'm and I just exploded, laughing. I had no
idea what my name was. It's not a clue.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
And how long did that one have to travel with
you or not travel.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
But stick with you? Yeah, not that long, probably a
year a year? Yeah, oh car Thomas.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Wait, so where did where did Danny come from?

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Steve Kingston who was in the name of my boss
at the time.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Wait, so he was like, your name's going to be Danny, right,
he said, Hey, Steve Kingston not his real name.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Oh no, it's not. Come on, man, we're ruining every
everything for everyone.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Steve. Steve is his real name.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
The Weekend is all about suspending disbelief. This is your
blast off.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
And now you're going to say the Weekend's real name
isn't the Weekend?

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Where am I going? Line one? Hi, Elliot in the morning.

Speaker 6 (19:33):
Hey, So, just to add to your conversation about pen names,
Anne Rice, I can't remember it's two initials, and then
Rocca Lenn She did books called The Claiming of Sleeping
Beauty that were very sexual, like very sexual like the
claiming if you get it of Sleeping Beauty, Right, you know,
she had a pen name for a while about those, But.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Did she did she?

Speaker 5 (19:53):
Then?

Speaker 1 (19:54):
And then I want to ask a second question about it.
Was she doing it? As like did people not know
that it was Anne Rice? Or was it?

Speaker 2 (20:01):
And and Rice obviously was very famous because of all
the vampire stuff and the voodoo stuff and stuff like that.
Very very very sweet lady, very nice lady.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
But was she writing those other books?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
And going I'm just going to like, did people know
it was Anne Rice? But if she released a book
under that name, you knew that, so there wouldn't be
any confusion or anything of like, oh, is this a
vampire book or whatever. And I hate to just diminish
her and call her a vampire book, but you just knew, like, oh,
that's what she writes her romance novels.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
It's as whatever, right or no.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
I'm yeah, I'm going back like twenty five years maybe
even further. And when they first came out her now
they do say am Rice known as am Rice, but
when they first came out, no, it.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
Was not known.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
So she specifically was this is a whole other person,
a whole Did she have a whole different backstory like
in the past.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
On the flap where it says about the author, was
it like she hates New Orleans?

Speaker 4 (21:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
I do have the books again on Kindle, but I
had the original books and I wish I still had them.
But I'm wondering if it was because of engineer because
it's erotic literature.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, no, I mean, but I I get that if
you if you were trying not to confuse two genres,
that I that I guess I can understand. But then
you would know the same thing, like the about the
author would be about the author.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
But what about the Harry Potter lady?

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yes, she wrote about her.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
She wrote a book as a man, and I don't
know if she told or if she got outed, or
if she had a backstory for this dude. But she
wrote a book after Harry Potter under the name like
rich or whatever, Yeah, Richard Branson.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
But she never showed up in like full makeup.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't know pants.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
All right, very good, thank you, thank you, man Romeo.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Here we go right. Oh, by the way, Romeo, Now
there is a there is a Romeo on the radio. Also,
not his real name.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Man, isn't it Do you know his real name?

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Isn't it like Tim, Tim Ditrick or something like that.
It's like some weird name Tim.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Oh it is Tim.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, last name begins with an h hat trick.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
It ain't awesome, It isn't His dad is a really famous.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yes? Where yes? Romeo had a question where is for? Though?

Speaker 5 (22:42):
Two things? He writes, one devastated all caps. He did
not pick Russell the love muscle from himself? And how
about this? You want to talk about callback to what
was Tyler's name on hairband Heaven and head bangers Hell?
How crazy is that?

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Okay? I I mean I remember the tape that you
gave me.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
I didn't give it to you, you give it. You
gave it to Joebeva Looqua.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh that's right, that's right.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
I think Colin signed off on it. That was a
radio show, just a shift I pitched when I was
working part time in promotions in.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
College, still at Georgetown.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Now we did bring it up on the air, correct,
But I was not on the show when we brought
it out.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
No, you were still working in promotions.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
It was like, we're in the front desk.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Wow, that's a memory. So what was it?

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Here's what I can tell you about Romeo. Yeah, he
smokes less weed than I do.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
My name was Tyler, and because of the nature of
the show, I did, within five minutes make a joke
about cream jeans.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I remember, is that your name? Tyler?

Speaker 5 (23:56):
Cream jeans, mister cream jeans? The playern in ball room. No,
because I remember when we played the air check right,
air check whatever audition tape. Diane was horrified by that
joke because it went against like who I was. So

(24:17):
maybe I was a character.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
I was just named the story. Oh I love uh sex?

Speaker 5 (24:26):
The sunset strip?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Sex? I mentioned rock and roll. Why can't I keep
wanting to say ben Ghazi? What was the name of
the club. You always bring.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Up, Oh.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
It's not ben Ghazi, no.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Ghazis, Yes, yes, go there with Nelson. First song?

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Do you remember the first song on that air check?

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Honestly? No, Like, why would I commit that to memory?

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Because for three weeks I've struggled to not say Danny.

Speaker 5 (25:07):
I don't think you've ever messed up.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Though, No, I didn't. And it was weird, I mean,
if I'm being real honest.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
When Sam and I were talking about it, we were like,
let's call Danny, and the whole time I was like,
that's all I, that's all I knew you as. And
I was like, but I can't call her Danny. It
sounds too it's too close to Diane. So I guess
we'll go with Sarah. Like I just like, that was
the weird name to.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Me, but by someone who was here with the Last
Dinner Club I know from New York and she was
out with Tamo and said, oh, Danny's so great. I'm
so excited to see Danny. And Tamo was like, who
the hell are you talking about, right, And it took
him a while to piece together that it was me.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
But it's Sarah. Yeah, yeah, No, it was weird.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
You would have called me Diane if my name was
Danny for sure.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
No, No, I mean I don't remember anything that Romeo
is talking about.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Tyler Kristen, could Elliott ever call you? Kayley? Sarah? You're
very very much onto something there. Oh wait a second,
you didn't guess the song?

Speaker 6 (26:11):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Which song? Oh, Tyler, I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
It was autographed? Turn out the radio?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Oh what does that make you think of Vegas? Yeah? Oh,
remember we didn't go there this year? Damn it? Line one,
Hi Ellie in the morning.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Oh, Hi Joan, inqua, Hi Sarah, Hi Joan. Hey, you know,
I just want to say Anne Rice used to go
by Anne Rampling when she first started out, and she
wrote some quite decent housewife smut.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Oh really, hey, were you? Are you a big Anne
Rice person?

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Not really, it's kind of good, but she also kind
of goes off the rails a little here and there.
But yeah, I've enjoyed some of her novels.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
So did she do that because she wanted a new
persona or because she didn't want to be the what
did you call it? Housewife smut?

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Probably get away from that. And I don't know her
husband was stan Rice.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Oh so yeah, that would make sense, that would make sense. Hey,
I appreciate it, Thank you man.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
Yes, this is more recent history. But oh god, here
we go.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Somebody gets the second song.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
This makes it remember, Yes, more recent I played it
four minutes later. No, it's a d M. So I'm
not going to say the name. But it's weird because
in February they messaged something about mister Leonard. But he
writes the guy sleeping on the couch had the wig.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Everybody remembers everything. But turn yourself on, turn yourself on.
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
And we but it was was it?

Speaker 3 (27:58):
No?

Speaker 2 (27:59):
He came in and addressed it, but there was somebody
had left a wig in there, even though his hair
was thinning.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Who was it? Rick? That's right, that's right. And there's
someone in the pit who colors his hair cruise, No,
who he used to get like it frosted until he
had Wait, who colors their dog? Dennis colors the dog?
What like lighter gray than darker gray? Really? Dennis colors
the dog? I had no idea.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Compliments to the chef.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
He probably does it at home with a bottle. Well,
remember Josh used to color his face. Oh yeah, stop,
yeah no, because you're not fooling anybody, which is why
this has not died.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
All right, very good, very good. Oh I love to
walk down radio road. It's fantastic.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Was Russell your only fake name?

Speaker 1 (28:58):
No, there was one other? But you know this.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Well. Now I feel bad if this bit of trivia.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
I I don't ask Romeo, he'll know it.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
You get so upset that Elliott doesn't remember everything about you.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
But no, this sounds like it wasn't him using this
name on my show, did the market Houston? Oh no,
that was the intern. Who was the summer intern, Sarah,

(29:31):
Remember it was a different time, yes, okay, Oh jeez,
the stuff.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
We used to name people.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
He was in the summer intern.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Oh he was our student exchange, our exchange student.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yes, who was there working? It may have been during
the summer, but that's when Dipty Podum Duty was. He
was Indian. Well that's not true. He came from the
Indian and the guy doing the voice actually did an
Indian voice. He was not did himself. But yeah, Dipty
he had a song, Dipty Dipty Podum duty.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Person. Do you remember his name with mister.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
No, I'm sure that. Yes, we've talked about that.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
You think we have. You just don't remember. Maybe you're
right there was.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
There was also a nickname, the Candy Man.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
Oh you have said that.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, it was Kevin Cannon.
