their stories putting pen to paper or keyboard to laptop
voice of dictation machine.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
We'll hear all about it.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
We'll find out how they did it and share their
journeys with the world. Well, it's one of the process
of the passion and the purpose behind writing a book,
from the first blank page to the final chapter. So
settle in. This is a conversation you don't want to miss.

(01:57):
And then, of course, because you and I, Arthur, try
to spoil kids, get them the best of everything. But
you know, everything's made until Donald Trump's Stranger and that
is made in China and nothing works. So you know
that's why I like life back, life fact made in America.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
So, now I go out and Olivia one daughter, she's leaving,
she's going out, and that's all gonna jump on TV

one comes out, and I got her a nice car.
I don't want to say the brand because I don't
want to trash it. But flat the tire's flat? Why why?

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Why?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Because they make the rims wear in Beijing somewhere.

We can see right up reading book.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
You nderstand that dad came first, and that's the way
it should be. As always. I uh, I think it's
great that you're in your car because you're doing the
right thing and following your daughter so cool.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
That's what great dads do.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, so Joe, this this book. If you now, you're

Speaker 4 (03:47):
I'll tell you what covered jois live live, We cover it.
You hear us.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
It looks like a golf course, not a hairshot.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Right, that's some nice place.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh goodness, And.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Listen, gentlemen, as we tape tonight, we are having a
little audio.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Difficulty trying to help his daughter seeing.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
That million dollar smile, but we can't hear the golden tones. Yeah, well,
we'll wait to connect with Joe. Arthur. You know you
wrote a book too. When we get Joe back, we'll
turn to average Joe. But sorry, can't lie. And if
folks are listening, whether they're listening to California, Texas, Florida,

(04:41):
New York, Allentown, p p A, wherever they can get this.
They can get this book by going to life fact
dot net. And we can also encourage folks to go
there and get themselves A life back show sponsored by
Life Fact, Protect those you love, use code. M I
t A but talk about your you know.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
About your book. But to deal with Joe was I
read his book, he read my book, and there are similarities, right.
So for me, I was traveling back and forth to
UH to Jackie was going to school in Florida, and
I was on the plane.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
I feel like I'm always filling in the details for
folks listening. Jackie, of course is Arthur's daughter.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yes, yeah, she's on the commercial. Yes, so so beautifull.
I was trying to solve some problems and uh and
it came to me and I'm like, how do I
solve this problem? You know? And I relied on a story,
so I said, yeah, it was a general life act issue,

(05:40):
you know. So I was like, okay, what what do
we And it came up with a story, so I
wrote it down and then I it led into another story.
So the stories are all little lessons learned in life,
you know, like to cover you know, could be the
little rascals, could be my dad, could be my uncle,
could be an accident. Right, these little popuckets of life

(06:01):
that guide me in this situation. So it's not an autobiography,
it's just these stories popping in my head, right, that
give me direction?

Speaker 3 (06:11):
But when was the moment that you thought this should
be a book?

Speaker 4 (06:15):
When I got to some of the deeper issues and
I thought maybe that my survival could help someone, and
that and also that you know, the whole new world
where you know, we're more TikTok or google it or
we get the you know, how do we find answers
in the new world? Right? So it was a combination
of those things, and it was when I felt my

(06:38):
stories might help someone exactly.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
And this is the question that I think I know
the answer to. But was writing your book more about
raising awareness certainly from the fact, sharing your journey or
inspiring action?

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Well, to be honest, it was to try and prevent susade.
That's really the underlying I checked them and sign off
and on again. Should we tell Joe that? So the
that was that's the subliminal part of it, you know.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
And then mister Piscopal, we think your mic is muted,
so we're gonna.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
I just text okay, I mean about that we able
to hear me?

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I when even when we're not together, A do we
have such a connection? I know, man, I got you
in my brain. I love it and when you said
what you said was vital. I can't just let that go.
You said of the book was you didn't want suicide
because you don'tant, you know, which is a pandemic nowadays
in America, especially when you're younger. And because all that

(07:45):
you went through, because you and you made the book inspirational,
that's why you know, Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
I mean this is deep, but it was. I don't
know how you prevent it because it's kind of an
internal self decision. So my goal was you can't say
so no, hang in there, buddy. They have to believe
in themselves, so they have to find their own way
to stay alive. But Joe, the connection is so deep.
I love it. But when you were writing your book,

(08:12):
how did you fix the stories? Like? These are pieces
of your life? You took your entire life. What do
you like now?

Speaker 1 (08:23):
I've been alive forever. Then I wrote the very first
song you know what I put. I wanted to just.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
The the compartmentalization of the book. I left up pretty
much to Scott Lamb who wrote it, because I and
I just spilled everything out and then I just edited.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
On the book average show. I'll get one for you.
Second just to plug it.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
But on the book, I just like wanted to address heritage.
I wanted to address love of country. I wanted to
dress a love of love of faith. So I had
all those things going on in my mind.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
And then and then.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I when we handed it off to the publisher, you know,
and the Scott Lamb, they kind of compartmentalized it and
he did a great show. He did the kid. I
had to give him a lot of credit. Did you
have a did you have somebody doing that for your team?

Speaker 4 (09:18):
You know yourself is fairly ridiculous. But what I noticed
about your book I can tell, right, And that's why
the connection of two guys who aren't all that bright
wrote books. You know, so.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Your book I have to go back fairly.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
But the you know, you you put together your life
experiences and you know, flaws and successes in your own way,
as Frank would sing, and it is inspirational. You know,
you did get core values out of it, and I
think that that is a cool theme. But in my
head is mind started coming out. I kind of saw

(09:57):
value in him. Did you see that in your book? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
It was therapeutic, Yeah it was ly therapeutic, but you know,
what you know what I have to say that just
to lighten it up. But if I may, I didn't
write a lot of the stuff. I held back because
I didn't want to be NIGGI want that. I didn't
want to be native. I didn't want to be like
I could because I could. You know, I'm Italian, so
I don't talk.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
You know it, so I don't. But boy, oh boy,
I could have spilled the beats. I mean I could have.
And not only that, between.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Us, guys, it's like, because you know, Arthur knows, I've
been married a couple of times. I got a lot
of kids, and there's there's there's listen, there's x's.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
There's moms of the children.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
And that's the way you always got to understand, first
and foremost, there are moms and the children. And I
respected that first and foremost book. But I but I
have a pack for my children now. And I said,
when we talk about this, we talk about all the
rough times we went through, and we did, and I
didn't put them in the book. Arthur, I did not
because I you know, but we talked about with the
kids and I told the kids, look, when dad dies,

(10:54):
it could be sooner than later, you know, I said,
go to Lifetime or Netflix, make the movie, make sure
you check the mom but spill the.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Beans because they'll pay a fortune for it. They'll pay
a fortune for it.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Is that right, you know? And along those lines, I
had good fortune to hang out with Ben Carson at
his house the other day. Yeah, he'd beat me in
three games of pools straight. And I wasn't really thrilled
with that. His his lack of ability to succeed in

(11:27):
politics because he wouldn't talk down about other people, you know,
and he certainly could, just like you could have spilled
the beans on a million things. But there's something about
humility and and trying to get a message across that's
not attacking, which seems to be the motto nowadays, right
the beats You attack these people, and you know, then

(11:48):
you'll be a success. I agree, Let your kids do it.
Get some money, you know, But I get Can we
talk about BENK.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Carson? How great is this guy?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I was so happy when I saw it, when I
saw you thing because we were at the White House.
I went with Joey during the first Trump administration, my
big boy, and we walked in and and it was
like for the Chinian American. Uh, the celebration, you know.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
And and so we're walking in and there was BENK Carson,
all myself and one of the grooms man, and and
you walk right over to him, I said, doctor Carson,
Joe Biscopo, my son, Joey.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
What a nice guy. Then he comes on the show.
What a heart.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
But you and Ben Carson together, I mean, it's a
it's a wonderful marriage.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
And I just love it, you know.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
I think it's you know, in the world of like
you said, of coming out right now and trying to
put messages of strength and the poet he is, that's
who he is, you know. And it was the coolest
part one of them was I was like coming up
with a story about faith or what I believe and
he would quote scripture.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yeah, wow, the same message that I came from, you know,
throwing a rock, Yes, yeah, only different with heart but
the truth. But to connect to Joe, we both have
a chapter in our book about few money. So these
these underlying things all the way back to the Bible

(13:10):
where we're shooting pool and I'm telling the goofy story
and then he quotes Scripture. He's quotes Palms for eighty
two or whatever that word is. So it's kind of
shows that these foundational thoughts and beings exist from the
beginning of time. You know, when we write books, we
have the ability to kind of share the modern version

(13:32):
of how we came to those things. And I was
curious in your head, how, you know, said Joe write
a book. Yeah, you had to pick these stories.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, I did, you know. I went through it, and
then we categorize it. We did the blueprint, and then
I met we met with the publisher the Tennessee where
they were. They said, well, we're going to greenlight the
book like that, and it was you know, and then
I just said, okay, let me let me compartmentalize it.
And then I knew I wanted you know, they always
want to catch, like I kind of a catch to
the book. And of course it was Saturday Night Live,

(14:05):
so I have so many stories. Oh and you know
what else helped, guys is being on the radio. Because
I don't even know we're doing eleventh year on the radio, man.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Eleven years on the radar. I was gonna ask you,
is that a hardship from talking to an audience? And
then and then putting the words down for a reader.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
You know what it's it's that's a great question, and
it's it is a learned you have to learn that craft.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
I knew it.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I went to school, believe it or not, and I
actually graduated college.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I know, hard to believe. I know what you're thinking.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
I knew that.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Was it was a little college. I couldn't get it
anywhere else.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
So I went to the only school that accepted me
in America, down to Florida.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Of course, what a surprise. And but but.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
You know what, I learned radio and I learned the
communication of radio. I fell in love with radio and
then my life and we put it in the book.
You know, it took the turns of just going out
doing comedy. I gotta try comedy, so I put all
those things in. Then it's and l you know, and
then the bumps and the bruises.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yeah, and he's leading right into the end, yes, which
is a break.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
And then we just yeah, right up against a break.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
You understand a break.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
We'll be right back with more with Joe Piscopo breaking baby.

Speaker 4 (15:17):

Speaker 4 (16:10):

I just yay.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
There is average Joe, there's the book.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
We got one of these things, and we appreciate you, Yeah,
pushing the boot push.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
We get this one. You get with Urush into a
deal out of the Life Fact and.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
We put it on Friday. We'll talk you yeah, the
price of one about Friday night. Well wait, oh yeah,
let's stick with this. So Joe, you were you were
going where you learn radio and when we had Jim
Kerr on when he told the story, you saw it
like he told the story about a guy that choked
to death on the bar. But he told it like

(16:56):
you would tell a story. But I could see the bar,
I could feel it. I think like he had the ability.
And that's kind of what you got to do in
the book, right. So what I found is my stories
I see in my head very clearly. Right, some memories
I don't know we were talking about. You got three
thousand pictures on your phone, but only a couple of
them really hit you, you know, like I had one where

(17:18):
you wrote in your book page seventy six. People asked
me what was like to be on stage at the
improv when I was new, untested, unknown? What did I
see when I looked up from the stage. How did
I feel? What was going through my mind? So take
that moment and when you wrote that, what did you see?

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Fear?

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Fear scared out of my mind because you got I'll
tell you what. Look you know again, you get out
of college. Your parents are doing good. That your grandparents
blazed the path, came from another country, they learned the
language and learned the laws, they become American and now
their grandson and to my parents, their son's going to
be a comedian. There's something that really so now, but

(18:04):
but I but if I can do it, I'm gonna
I'm gonna make it. And that was in my mind.
So when when we would go to the improv forty
fourth and ninth, Hell's Kitchen, and it was as dank
and it makes New York is spectacular compared to the
way it was back then. It was dangerous and people
you came out of the Lincoln Tunnel, you were propositioned
with drugs and other things that you can imagine.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
It was.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
It was unbelievable. People would getting whacked.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
And there I was walking in meeting unknowns and the
unknowns were Larry David, the unknowns were Jerry Seinfeld. The
unknowns were Gilbert Gottfried, you know. And then and then
you would be you would be there just hanging in
this dank, dark bar in forty fourth and ninth. There
was no lights. I mean, there were fights. It was
it was dangerous just to be there. And then oh yeah,

(18:51):
you're up next, You're up next. You got five minutes.
That's when your throat go was really drunk.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
But that's cool. Facing fears a freaking chapter. But you're
what are you off stage like? Is it high? Is
it like what was that like water?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
You walk in, you walked into the impropert was like
to the right was the bar. So it was bar.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
So you had some some like booths, but there was
a bar, and it was dark and you couldn't see anybody,
and it was really it was. It was like really
really old and just like a they say a hole
in the wall, but it really I don't want.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
To disrespect it.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
But then you would walk up and you would go
up a little area to the front with the front
door to your left, and then you go into the showroom,
the improv showroom, and there were about one hundred and
fifty seats, maybe two hundred tops, and it was all
like tables Hodgepodge Bud Freeman put it all together like
a Hodgepoche tables here, a couple of booths down there,

(19:50):
and a small room and in the corner of the room,
way in the back was the stage, a brick wall.
Behind you there was a stage and like a little
pin spotlight. So now when they go you're up next,
you have to walk from the back of the bar.
You gotta go right at that spot that I'm just
telling you about where you can see everything unfold.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
You could hear. Is the crowd good? Is it not good?
Are they laughing? Were they laughing before? Who was on before? You?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
All this goes through your mind, you know. And it
was a do or die situation. And I went in
in front of a full house. It was a full house,
and they said, all right, you're up now. It was
like two o'clock in the morning. It was the check spot,
and you asked, I think, yeah, see, you know what,
the check spot exaped a whole night.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
They've seen a thousand comedians. And then they give you.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
A check for six hundred bucks. After that, nothing's funny
after that, I gotta do this for you, all right,
nothing funny of it.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Your first time up, you get the check spot two
in the morning.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
And then they go they go, jump up. I jumped
on stage. You gotta walk through the crowd, and then's
so crowded. You got to excuse me, excuse me, step
on stage, and then you got to hit it. That
the thing that happened to me. Now again, you can't
see anything. You got the way light in your eyes.
You can't say anything. The only thing you can see
possibly is the light that is at the doorway that

(21:05):
I just mentioned.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
There's a light. They blink it if you go on
too long.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Right.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
So I started my set and it wasn't great.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
And then somebody started to heckle me to my left
down front and you can't see so and now and
and so instinctively, I don't know what happened.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
It was the grace of God. And I said, Pa,
you're gonna heckle me dressed like that or something like that?

Speaker 4 (21:28):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (21:29):
You know what I mean? Really? And then and that's
your girlfriend and my sympathies. But I mean I went
for it. I did. I was wreckles for two minutes.
I get boom boom bob. I ended up doing fifteen
minutes and I killed, by the grace of God, it killed. Hey,
holy but and I was a regular from there on after.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Now, when you tell Cory, right, like a lot of
these stories, there's one more. I actually what I asked
you about. But you could see it, can't You could
see that. Yeah, you could see that moment in time
and you can see it feel it, the fear of
the jew relation maybe coming off like, oh my god,
it's that.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
It's true.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
I think that's part of like if we were to
someone listening about writing a book that those moments of
the clarity, right, I remember that moment, I remember throwing
the marshmallow. I remember standing on the boat so clear.
I remember what I did this morning.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Do you remember the first joke, Joe, the first joke
that that really hit the audience.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah, no, it's a good question, though. I would do
I did a Tom Snyder impression, though I didn't tell you. Listen,
listen to Parallel Danny Akrou and he's my hero. Danny's
my hero Parallel. But we're at the clubs, and and
I and and and I would just do that that
Tom Snyder laughed. Uh, I would go, if you know

(22:48):
who remembers?

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Did you start with impersonations?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I did, you know, good morning everybody, but it was
like good morning everybody.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
And then I did a Spanish Tom Snyder and they
think what they.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
Like that is?

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh it worked, it worked. Then I did. Then I did.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Andy Kaufman was there, and he was an influence on brilliant,
brilliant Andy Kaufman. So and I think I wrote about
that in the book too. And Andy would do this
this really out there, you know, what in the world
is he doing comedy?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
So I did.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
I did, but I would do the Frank Sinatr character.
I did the Lady as a tramp, but I never
ended the song. You know, I just kept on coming around.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
That's why the lady.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
That's why the lady, That's why.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
This it got so ridiculous, it got big LEPs.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Please and that's gonna be the job by SNL. By
the way, what do I like torturing version?

Speaker 8 (23:49):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Man? I got another one? And I asked the guys
before we came on, because in your book you talk
about you and Eddie's uh boof, I don't know, that's
why where'd you come up with pack? Because it was.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Probably probably more buff probably more buff.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
So's he would say it you.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Know what I'll tell you, And writing that, I said,
I'll never be able to translate that.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
How do I translate that? So by I'm glad you asked, because.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Eddie and I but we would be read through uh
and and if something or we'd be better yet, let's
go right to the air. And if something didn't work,
there was he would Eddie would do what he would
call a stink look that was Eddie's description, and we
would go and.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
We would do it.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
We would look at each other it wasn't working, and
we just had it was really six smile on the
face and we would go.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Like I so listen, listen.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
So it was like so when something did work, that
was like capturing like that, just like there's nothing you
could do.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
It was a great It was. I have been with
Eddie in an experience experiences all over and and.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Matter of fact, when I first saw him after many
many years, I think it was on the fortieth Aniversity
of SNL.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
And we're there. We didn't know what we were doing.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
We showed up and I said, ed, how are I meant,
I gave him a big hug man, I said, good
to see you again, and in my ear he goes.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
But see, I was so curious about the way that
I actually sounded, because if you and that this is
a wingman part, but we all have those kind of
that looks like all the time that we're like yeah,
yeah right, or you know, hey duh yeah. So I
think that's another kind of intimate piece of something. We

(25:39):
see stars and then it takes at the BA and
they both laugh because they're both in sync.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
And I'll tell you it was. It would keep we
would we would just have so much fun. But I
got to take to go back to the radio question
if I made because I discovered I discovered it in college,
but then now on a ninet seventy and you know,
even on the Sundays with Sinatra show on w ABC.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
I don't know what it is, but it did. It
take a while.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
It's a great question, but I felt comfortable and I
just my heart just came out. So stay with you
a second. Stay with me the second, guys, if I may,
because this it goes all over. But this is really
a New York thing. When I was working in Arizona.
This is how I learned to find myself on radio,
I think. And I came up with Howard too. By

(26:28):
the way, Howard and I we go back and forth.
I learned a lot from Howard Stern, I really did.
But my heroes were Dan Ingram and the regular announcers
but being organic, but it was Opie and Anthony where
I really where I really found my rhythm on the radio.
Because I was in Arizona. I did a show. By
the grace of God, it worked out well, you know,
talking about so I'm walking off and I had my

(26:49):
phone and Texas and my one of my exes. I'm
gonna be very honest here. So one of my exes boyfriends,
you know, we call him the Mama Luke, that guy,
you know, yeah, Mama Luke, the Mama Look, the Mama
Luke starts, He's coasted the newspaper saying Joe's not paying
his child support or something like that. I'm I'm paying

(27:11):
and I'm always on time, paying a fortune, you know
what I mean. And and and the guy put it,
and then the local paper in Jersey printed it. Guys,
they printed that, So this is I don't I don't
think I put no, I didn't put this in the book.
So now I'm.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Thinking, who the freak is this guy? What?

Speaker 2 (27:28):
So now I got to answer that because it's a lie.
And the newspapers now where they will print a lie
before they call you.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
You know that.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Back then, the newspapers they just had to be twenty
years ago. So now I go, I call Uh. I
called Anthony and I said, uh, Cumia, you know who's
on w ABC, I said, I said, Anthony, I gotta
come on, I gotta come on, I gotta come on.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
We gotta talk about this.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
I went on with Jim Norton with Opie and Anthony,
and I just ripped it up and right from my gut,
my heart.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
I don't know where it came from, but I learned
how to commute.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
And it was very inappropriate, by the way, and I
don't I don't want anything going back and listening. Oh please,
But but you know what people I mean, people said,
God show that was brilliant. It was survival. It was
because I was just telling the truth. It was organic
and it was truthful. And so when I go on
the radio now, and of course we're much more measured,

(28:23):
certainly on AM ninety seventy, even on w ABC, I'm
very measured.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
I have people come on to me every single day.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
I say, Joe, I feel like you're talking right to
me in the radio, and I say, you know what
I am, I'm talking right to you.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
It's the most intimate.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Medium my point. And that's what I got from Jim Kerr.
And then what I've.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Learned, Oh, Kurr is the king man. Jim Kerr is
the King's the king, He's the best.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
He spent time with him, and that's when my moment
of the power of the radio and the intimacy and
gentleness and the you can't see you have to convey
from your heart. Right, That's it and that's what I
dig about it. We barely know what we're doing. Do
we know what we're doing?

Speaker 6 (29:02):
You know that's right here?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Listen, Gus, just so good back and forth Arthur, when
you're on TV or your voice comes on radio, because
you're such in my opinion, you're such a good guy
and much love.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
It comes to you can't fake it.

Speaker 6 (29:17):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
You know what, guys, You could fake this. You could
fake video, you could fake a film. You could be
on stage and do a little Dan. You can't fake radio.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
I know they hear it. People hear am I right?

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Arthur? Oh god, I love beat off with you. We
have fun because no matter what we're talking about, we
wind up interjecting something silly or such a cool medium
for sharing.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
You know, I have a question for I have a
question for Joe because you left some of the more
salacious details out or maybe the negative stuff. You see,
the book is part of your like a part of
your legacy because you're such a positive individual, and how
do you want it to be remembered?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
The book? You know what that I was. It's it's
a survival story.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah, you're gonna make it.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
It's just a it's a it's a lesson is survival. Man,
it's your prepper for life. You know, these preppers go
out and prepped the house. They come in, they get
all the food and everything because good they wait for
armor getting and then this book is a prepper, uh,
for survival and getting through life.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Because I think it's going back to your guys, Sinatra,
you did it your way and the things in your
and you did nothing and learned something. I mean, anyone
looked at your career from It's the comic to sound
It Live to movies. Yeah, hook once once the radio.

(30:40):
And that's a cool story too. But we had thank you,
thank you, mister.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
You know what that was that you know we had
that had. I think Georgia Galler wrote the script. Norman
Steinberg too.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
They wrote, me and me and Danny DeVito go up
to the sorts, to the to the concierge, and and
we stole Frankie the Fixers card, the Gangsters card.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah, and his name was frank A.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Cavano, right, and and so now we put the card
down and we wait to see what happens, and the
and then and the guy behind the desk looks at
he goes, thank you, mister, I mean Danny looked at
each other and we went thank you, mister, I said, admit.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Generation of two quotes. Hung me on a hook once
and thank you miss I probably said both of them
one hundred times more hond hundred all the time it's
someone pays the bill, don't thank you, thank you.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Now we got we got a few minutes. I'm wondering
if there's another book like after you've done it. I
remember this quote from The Odd Couple. I hate writing,
but love having written. I'm not sure where it originated,
but the.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
Question is when you finished Madison, wait, you have something funny?
Tell him what you just talked about before we came up?
Where is where? What is the song?

Speaker 6 (32:06):
Tom Petty?

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Did you know you're included in Tom Petty?

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Oh? Yeah, you know, you know, you know who wrote
it with Petty? Guys you know wrote it with Petty.
Bob Dylan, picture of this. All of a sudden, he
comes out, Petty needs a metaphor for television. And he
was Lynn Redgrave, and I think he was somebody else,
but he said, take back, Eddie Murphy, take back Joe Biscopal.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
I thought it was one of the coolest things never happened. Yeah,
you're a petty song. And I don't wait a minute,
and look who wrote it. Dylan and Petty are sitting
around going and Dylan's going, you know who Joe Bisco is?
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (32:44):
I'm going like And then I went to Eddie and
I said, hey, we're in the Tom Petty song.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
And then he said, who's Tom Petty? True story?

Speaker 4 (32:56):
Now did you find out by hearing the song or
did they tell you about?

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Uh, it's a good question.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
I think I probably heard it remember here, And I
actually thought it was kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
It got the meaning of it, you know yeah, and
Petty seemed like a nice enough guy that it wasn't
going to be mean. It was a good metaphor. It
was very well with Jamming Me is one of the
great rock songs of all time. You know that.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
I don't with you guys, No, that's.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
A good but I did.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
I one of my best friends is in the Petty
Cover band. I know it sounds silly, but these guys
are really good. It's a Petty cover band, pure Petty.
I think it's called and they and I was there
and we were doing an event for law enforcement against
drugs in Lantic City and my and they were they
were the band. I said, are you kidding me? And
they played jam in me. I went front center and they.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Sang and it was great.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
You and your son got to do that next event
that you come to.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Oh, we want to talk about that. We want to
talk about the event coming up very night. Can you
stick around, Joe because we are sure sure we are
with more Joe Piscopal Thanks not.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
Man in the arena. She started to choke on a
piece of candy.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
She wasn't breathing.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
Then Ray reached for the life back and it saved her.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
She could have easily died that day. A life back
saved her life.

Speaker 8 (34:26):
What I would say is, don't need a life back
and not have it.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Have a life back and hopefully never need it.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Recently, the American Red Cross has added anti joking devices

Hi, I'm Martha. We see you bet their life back
Simple choking rescue advice, as Saingle four thousands of people
thirteen years ago. When I came up with my back,
the design was to be safe and simple, simple, push
and cold the event systems and you push it down,
the arrow go out the side because the ball out
of the box when you pull it up. And then

(44:59):
he said, there's going to be colleges and normally that's
that's the way to my back is at the registered
manufacturer in New York. A lot of these products and
this is one of the most popular ones. It's made
in China. But the real problem it's about ten to
fifteen dollars cheaper. If you put your finger open this,
you won't be able to put it down. Now, I

(45:22):
understand money's money, Like this is someone's life at state.
So if you bought this, to make sure impact it
you don't put your plane. If you put it like
this or like this, it won't work. And you love
one's going to die. I understand, and buy a cheaper product,
but you have to also remember when to buy a
cheaper product, you get a cheaper product in someone's life

(45:43):
in the state. So if you think of buying it,
make sure you understand you can not believe this well.
And two, someone you love owns this, make sure that
make music you had to wherewithal and panic situations not
to cover this that they're gone connect strictly a PSA. Obviously,

(46:03):
I hope to buy a light back, dude, and I
know if I made it last forever, but you do
go with this sleek, be careful and bucks in my
life say hey, yo, we're back.

Speaker 6 (47:57):
Of even getting better in the morning.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
And now, so talk about a little about these these
great people that you've endorsed called Yes.

Speaker 6 (48:06):
So it's through Brian kill me.

Speaker 9 (48:07):
He's actually doing commercials now and he goes my friend Pat,
who's had a weight problem his whole life.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
And that's not necessary. Couple pounds eighty he always exaggerates.

Speaker 6 (48:16):
It's like a person and a half.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Holy Christ.

Speaker 9 (48:18):
Nice, thanks, Brian will lose I'll lose them, You'll see.
He's just can I my pro I can always lose weight?

Speaker 6 (48:23):
Can I keep it off? So with these people, they
say it's basically they just call and yell at you.
Now they don't yell at you. They guide you through
the process and they're very positive. And you have you're
doing all the work.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
Pat You're doing great, and.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
You have a great support network, not only your family,
you have your friends, the audience, you have a national audience.

Speaker 9 (48:40):

to get to see Skinny bat Yeah, Skinny the new Market.

Speaker 9 (49:13):
Have three wardrobes, fat, obese, and O God, it's moving
towards me and I'm moving from OGDA and told me
just to a beese that's next to keep going.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
I think I think the question that I have to
ask as your acting partner in the skits, the historical skits,
is are there going to be wardrobe malfunctions because of
the way laws.

Speaker 6 (49:31):
No, it it'll be a little more realistic because there
wasn't that many bloated people.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Franklin, he was a player, wasn't big?

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Yeah, I don't think.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
Listen, this is the portion of the show where we
at the end of the show we normally get back
to talking about live fact, talking about Mister three thousand,
Ray Preeby, and the totals for the week, because as
we're rapidly approaching five thousand Lives Save the World wide,
it's terribly exciting. There's all kinds of con just and
talks of contests and the details are forthcoming.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
But you know we have Ray Priby's not here tonight.
We have someone guest star.

Speaker 9 (50:09):
Guest star even better than Ray, well different, you're on
the com it's our first woman in the arena.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
That is our first woman three thousands.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
We welcome the inspiration Jackie, welcome.

Speaker 8 (50:23):
Hello.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
Do you know you're the first woman to do Miss
the three thousands. You're the first Miss Miss.

Speaker 6 (50:30):
Three thousand and the youngest person.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
Yes, we're ancient, so are we fired? How does that work?
Going on?

Speaker 5 (50:38):
I'll tell you what we'll I think what we'll do
is we'll last Bobby to roll in.

Speaker 6 (50:42):
Jerry Lewis, why don't we hit the toad board.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Hit the toad board. Let's go to the toadboard. Bobby.
Here comes the total live thing.

Speaker 4 (50:52):
One of eighty one from.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
I'm always total.

Speaker 4 (50:59):
Bye, he has the secret, mister three thousand info.

Speaker 8 (51:04):
Yes, today we say four lives.

Speaker 6 (51:08):
Is that.

Speaker 8 (51:10):
We're now at three not three? Oh my goodness. Four thousand,
three hundred eighty nine lives saved worldwide, including two thousand,
six hundred and eighty two children.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
Well, hey, now, but you know what, we were a
little art we were, and it is good. That's a
lot of families that aren't devastated, right, And that's the
ones that report, Yeah, that's just the one where that
trust me, we've been all out there where someone's come
up and said, I use it. But I think it's
a moment of gratitude that we were able all to

(51:45):
work towards his goal. And then when you say two thousand,
six hundred and eighty two children, that's family, family, church,
everyone that's still got their little kid, they still have
their baby. And four thousand, three hundred and eighty nine
lives that have not been so disrupted and destroyed. So
the cool thing that you now get to do is

(52:07):
the sidelight of the week.

Speaker 8 (52:11):
On July nineteenth, a fourteen month old girl from New
Jersey choked on a blueberry while having a seizure. The
blueberry closed a total blockage in her airway. Closing rescue
protocol choking rescue protocol was followed. The patient was unconscious.
Life Back successfully dislodged the fruit on the second attempt,

(52:32):
and then what.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
Then?

Speaker 8 (52:35):
The story from the good Samaritan is the child had
a seizure, aspirated and choked on blueberries. We were at
the baseball tournament for my son. One of the siblings
of the team playing before us was choking. Someone yelled,
she's choking. I quickly ran to the parking lot to

(52:56):
get my Life Back device. Two nurses and one of
our coaches was who is also a police officer for
already working on her. They quickly opened the package, laid
her down, and just after two attempts, were able to
get a few blueberries out. The ambulance took around twenty
minutes to get to the field.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
So that was a good Samaritan. Say that was someone
that was at a game brought their life back, which
is really kind of another important thing that should be known.

Speaker 6 (53:21):
That with trained professionals on top of her, and it
wasn't working yet.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
And that's I think that's probably why they picked this
because you know, God bless them and there are heroes,
they are trained, but it shows it doesn't always work,
doesn't matter how great they are.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
The first one human the first story that you heard
was a hospital setting where it didn't work.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
Yeah, it didn't work, and she was seven at the time.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
Was yeah, we remind everyone filling in for mister three
thousand is the young lady who was the young girl
at the.

Speaker 6 (53:53):
Time, the kid she was lost to a beautiful woman?
Am I supposed to? Also?

Speaker 3 (54:00):
Sorry?

Speaker 5 (54:02):
Her mom is here, go back to dad next.

Speaker 6 (54:05):
I know I can have blueberries. I better bring your life.

Speaker 4 (54:09):
Yeah you always have one though I appreciate that, but yeah,
it's important to know that. We want them to go
from seven to twenty and sit next to us and
read about child being saved. Particularly, this is the new world.
This is the way the world really is.

Speaker 6 (54:23):
What's else?

Speaker 9 (54:24):
How about the twenty six two thousand, six hundred eight
two kids that will have problems, We'll go to college.

Speaker 6 (54:29):
Yeah, we have kids, weddings, all that other stuff.

Speaker 4 (54:32):
Just think about that, you know, and some of the
good stuff, babies, You're like, they didn't walk it.

Speaker 5 (54:36):
You know.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
I think about if Ray Preeby, who's mister three thousand
ordinarily in this spot, hadn't had his own life. Fact,
there were two good Samaritans that came that. That's an
amazing Another amazing part of that story is that there
are people out there that.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Were ready to help.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
And it's cool that, you know, Jackie shared this story
because we're starting to get a very negative image of everything.
Still good people. That person ran to their car to
save some kids, didn't even though and jump right in
and and you know, was helped by an officer and
a nurse. So let's not get too negative on our lives.
It's easy to get to think everyone's out to steal

(55:15):
their stuff.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
The twenty four hour news cycle is not always the
best thing for our psyche.

Speaker 4 (55:22):
So this is I gotta say, this is one of
my favorite shows.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Jackie is.

Speaker 5 (55:30):
