Speaker 2 (00:02):
On the thirty we'll give away jingle ball tickets. Your
chance to win happens during the dirties all morning. I'm
running a little late with the Dirty, so I'm going
to get to that, but I want you to get
to the phone and call eight four to four Mojo Live,
ninety fifth Collar, Good luck, Shannon, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yesterday, the family of Late Friends star Matthew Perry came
face to face in court with the doctor that supplied
Matthew with that fatal dose of ketamine.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Doctor Salvador Placensia, sentenced to thirty months in prison for
selling dozens of vials of ketamine to Perry in exchange
for tens of thousands of dollars. Placentia cried and nodded
in agreement as Perry's family accused him of betraying his
hippocratic oath. Harry's sister saying, instead of protecting him, you
exploited him, and his mother standing before Placentia saying, I

(00:51):
just want you to see his mother. This is his mother.
In a statement, the family says, no one alive and
in touch with the world at all could have been
unaware of Matthew's struggles, pointing to that cruel text Placentia
sent to another doctor supplying the ketamine. I wonder how
much this moron will pay Let's find out. Perry had

(01:12):
been candid about his year's long battle with addiction, opening
up to our Diane Sawyer a year before his death.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Your disease is just outside, just in one arm.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Push ups, this waiting, just waiting for.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
You, waiting to get you along.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Today in court, the former doctor admitted I failed mister Perry.
I failed his family, turning to them and saying, I
am so so sorry. Family was asked if they agreed
with the sentence. Does it matter.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Really? Look, it's a tragic story, and you know, sometimes
apparently nice guys do bad things and the legal system has.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
To take account.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
If you're a Dateline fan, you recognize that voice right there.
That's Keith Morrison, who was Matthew Perry's stepdad. They're very,
very close. But this doctor did apologize to Matthew's family
for the sentence was read. He said, I failed mister Perry,
I failed his family. I should have protected him. I
have to accept responsibility. By the way, he is the
first to be sentenced of the five people convicted in

(02:12):
connection to Matthew's death.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
It's amazing to hear a comment like that where doctor
would say how much will this moron pay? Yes, you
can take that, Oh yep, that oath as a doctor
to make people better or not?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
You know, in all about the money, I haven't said
a hypocratical yeah. Last night was the Rockefeller Tree lighting
in New York City. The seventy five foot tall Norway
spruce from a backyard in Rennessler County, New York was
illuminated with more than fifty thousand colored lights. I I'm
actually going to be headed there tomorrow with my Lucy

(02:46):
to go see it. But people came from all over
the world truly to be a part of this. They
were interviewing everybody from London and Australia and Japan and
it was cold. They definitely brave some Chili temperatures to
be there. Reba mctire among the performers this year, along
with Michael Buble, New Edition, Mark Anthony and Leave who
I know is doing some of our Anthony Imark radio

(03:07):
Juca balls across the country this year.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Former Jennifer Lopez, Mark Anthony doing a little time. They
always have like it always seems like the proper people,
you know, Kelly Clarkson, Reba, Michael Boublay, you know what
I mean. At that think, Hey, did you guys know this?
I didn't know this story, and then I saw it
this morning. The White House Christmas Tree is from West Michigan,
So is it really? Yeah, it's from our Grand Rapids area,

(03:34):
which is funny because of you know, they ship it
and they send it all over there. But it's wild
that it makes the track that far and does not
lose needles like the one I get at Home depot.
Every single thing, by the way comes home. It looks
like Charlie Brown's tree by the time I'm done driving
on seventy five.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Crazy Leslie, this is pretty cool too. Michigan shops are
among the fifty best clothing stores in the country, according
to The New York Times. Coudita on Kerchival in Detroit
and the Ap Shop in Lakeside on the west side
of the state both made the list this year. New
York Times reporters and editors spent months evaluating hundreds of

(04:13):
clothing stores across the country based on criteria like inventory,
customer service, ambiance and location.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
And that is how they came up with their list.
If you miss anything from today so you can always
go back and listen to the podcast on that free
