Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, the lollipop Man can't give high fives to kids
at a crosswalk anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's a strange headline.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It is, Well, in England there's a fifty seven year
old man named Neil Cotton. He's no longer allowed to
high five children as they cross the street. Cotton has
been named the lollipop Man. That would make me suspicious.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Why do they call you the Wait a minute, what
does he do?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
He's one of these crossing guards, but they nicknamed him
the lollipop Man. It seems that him high fiving the
kids as they walk through the crosswalk calls around an
extra ten or fifteen seconds every time the children cross.
Become an issue with the drivers that are annoyed that
they have to sit for the additional ten to fifteen seconds.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
These are dwights, absolutely, these are dwights.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Are people like Dwight or you can't you can't stay
there for another ten or fifteen seconds. And there's something
cool that those kids will always remember the rest of
their life was remember mister what was his name Cotton?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
The lollipops?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Oh, I mean, mister lollipop man, I remember you gave
us high fives. That really kind of started my.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Day off, right, But since I won't be doing that,
I'll have a worse day because there's people like Dwight
that just explain, maybe they get a good start for the.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Day, do your stupid stuff on your for Here's what
really pisses me off. The school buses picks up the
real itty bitty little kids and the parents are like,
you know, standing there holding their hands because they're itty
bitty kids. They barely walk, you know what I mean.
So instead of picking them up and carrying them to
the bus, they do the deal where okay, let me
(01:35):
walk holding your hand. It takes twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Does he look how cute he is? It doesn't take
twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Pick it up.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
No, it's not at all.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
The bus you have to let kids do stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Dude, Look practice walking on your own dime, not mine.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I gotta get to work.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
This is so mister, poor mister Cotton, and poor these kids.
These kids start their day with a little bit of joy.
Now have been taken away because of a joy. Shirk's like,
you're telling me that these kids have a tough day
at school.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
It's a little hard to be at school.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And when you're that age and you started with a
high five from the cool guy that does the crosswalk,
but people like you want to ruin it.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Hey, Timmy, your girlfriend Cindy broke up with you is
now with Brian. Do you think maybe giving a high
five to a creepy old man crossing guard the call
of a lollipop man might make you feel better.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Maybe maybe when they were that age, somebody gave you
a high five every day to school, maybe you would
have turned out differently.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Hello lollipop man, Hey every body, Yes, you're a lollipop man.
Representatives for the community say they valued the service and
safety provided by Cotton the Lollipop Man, but it reminded
everybody that the go should be safety, not distractions. Even
if the kids are saddened by the elimination, I'm all
(02:59):
for it.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Now let's have no fun.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
No, you have fun, just have it on your own dime.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's kind of like the people that you know with
the ten speeds. You know, let's go ride to ten speeds? Yes, okay,
so hey Mike, when you go ride to ten speech?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
We could do it in our neighborhood around six o'clock,
or we could do it during rush hour traffic on
Hurstbourne Lane.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, let's do that. It's a little different. Stop. Yeah,
let's do that. Stop it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Let's go to Spain, where a seventy year old beekeeper
released his secret weapons on police. He wasn't a fan
of being put over by the police. On Friday, the
police allegedly noticed the man not wearing a seat belt.
Did I wonder if they give the full cirben or
just no they do the.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Those are the worst.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Given full siren just makes me sick. Friday, the cops
allegedly notice the man not wearing his seat belt his van.
The tone of the interaction was set by the driver, though,
who started off by saying to the police, Ugh said,
I should have run over you. That's when the officer
inspective the man might have been drinking, gad the man
(04:15):
a breathalyzer and say that sure enough, he was drinking.
He blew above the legal limits, so officers asked him
to repeat the test. That's when he refused and instead
ran to the back of his van. That's when he
released a swarm of honey bees. The honey bees immediately
went after the cops. The two officers were stung several times,
(04:37):
eventually had to take refuge in a nearby restaurant. The
beekeeper then drove off, but was later apprehended by the
officers in charge.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Here's where the Internet goes wrong. Right, there's a lot
of good things about the Internet. There's a lot of
bad things. Nowadays. You get these videos because people watch
stuff on video that they now know their rights. And
you see the video after video when a police officer
just because I need your license and registration. That is
just like normal, that is my normal procedure when you
get pulled over.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
For decades, for.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
As long as anyone can remember, now you have these
videos of people that are, you know, roadside lawyers that
are like, I know my riots.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I don't have to show you I D No, you do?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You do?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
You do?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Show you're you're driving a car? Uh No, I don't
have to show you my ID. Yes you do. They
end up getting pulled out of the car and arrested.
Show them your ID. You're not a lawyer. He pulled
you over for a reason. Show them your ID.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Here's another thing. We had a guest on here. It said,
you don't understand when I got to pull it over?
I've got to put my hands up on the steering.
That's what I do. I've got a consialed carry permit.
When I get pulled over hap without fail, every single
times I get my license and my conceiled carry, I
put him on the fingers and I put my palms
on the on the sternwheel. Now, if it's a nighttime,
(05:57):
I turned the dorm light on and I said, hey,
first thing I say is hey, officer, for your safety
in mind, I've got a loaded weapon in the vehicle.
Here's my cantill carry a my lifeses. That's how I'll start.
What is the big problem doing that?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
And I always turn my car off too, because that's
why your cop, a police officer will touch the car
before he walks up to your window because he wants
to know if the car is running or not. And
to make them feel better, you got to, you know,
turn the car off, because those are We've been on
a lot of ride alongs a lot, and they're nerve
racking because you do not know if this pullover, we'll
(06:37):
end up with you in a shootout or a fight. Now,
most don't ninety nine point nine percent of them don't.
But you don't know if that point one is going
to be right now. So it's very dangerous and nerve
wracking for these guys. And they do a good job,
just man, especially on the expressway. Come on, it's the
most dangerous place to work, and they have to work
(06:57):
there every day. Do what the man says.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I wonder if when they locked up the guy with
the bees, when they brought him in and started booking, said,
what are you booking for? You're not gonna be leave
this one?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
See John, he picked stories sometimes to do this long
climb just to get to the line.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I wonder if what they opened the cell of he said,
be my guest.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I thought, honey bee, the honey bees sting you?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I guess yeah, honey bees will sting you now, the big,
gigantic fat bumba bees, the wood burrowing bees not so much.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Uh, wasn't the only Gilligan's Island the girls band called
the honey Bees.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh hey, we got to hear that song?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
We look, yeah we do, John, can you pull up
the honey bees from this island? I gotta we gotta
hear the song. You can't just bring that up and
not play it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
You don't know if we are you kidding? Now?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
We do?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
We need it?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
All right, We're gonna take a short break, uh, George
Takai or around the bottom of the hour, of course,
from the original star Trek in this seria of movies
in the nineteen eighties. What a career he's had. And
part of the questions I'll have for him is people
don't realize at that time to have such a diverse cast.
In the nineteen sixties, you had a Russian had an Asian,
(08:19):
which mister Takai had a black female Hurah, which was
a very the studio, the TV studios were like, we
can't do this, and it was a huge hit.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Well, I'll tell you what else is kind of fascinating.
In nineteen sixty six when he took on that role,
Asians really didn't have a place in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
For example, if there was an Asian character who's usually
a bumbling idiot or maybe a bad guy or girl,
but they were played by Caucasian people.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, it's crazy. All right, man, let's take a short break.
But first vision, first eye care.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I was just in there Saturday to pick up my
glasses because I had dropped him and a scratch, and
I walked in there and told them, hey, what can
I do with this scratching like it's underwarranty.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
We're good.
Speaker 3 (09:04):

A couple of days later. They texted me and I
went in there and got them and that was it.

(12:02):
you this, but we're out of skinny pop here I saw,

Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well, I blame you because I had two bags three.
You had three on Friday and three on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I did not.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
When you eat three bags of skinny pop, it becomes
fatty fat.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
No, I had two.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But here's where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Each bag of skinny pop, both of them, that means
two John Anthony.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
John, you had one thousand dollars, and you bet on
whether he had three bags or two. Which would you
put on the thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Man?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I think I think based on based on your ability
to tell the truth, I would go with the three bags.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh, come on, man, I'm serious. I had two bags.
But I digress.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
He's a very talented liar, he is.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, I really am.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But listen to this. So I was at home over
the weekend. I thought, man, that little bag is one
hundred calories, and then it dawned on me, how much
is a movie popcorn? Like you go to the movies
and you get a large, one of the gigantic ones.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
What's that gonna run?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well if you if you just get the medium size
with just that that one sized bag, you know, everybody
knows what the medium looks like. If you put butter
on it, it's about ninety grams of fat in about
a thousand calories. Okay, So when we would do that,
we'd skip dinner and we get we get the popcorn corn. Yeah,
we'd skipped dinner and we'd get the popcorn.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
At the movie.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Okay, but do you finish eating it by the time
the movie starts, because I don't want in the quiet
parts of the movie to.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Hear Now, do you all do the butter? Because I
always say, no, butter, butter.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Oh no, I gotta have a little butter because I've
seen not a lot. I used to date a girl
a lot. It's dated girl.
Speaker 1 (14:01):

go bato large popcorn. Okayyy, have it. Put a quarter
of it in popcorn, put butter on it, another quarter,
put butter on it four times, and then shake it up.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And I'm like, oh, and I didn't like butter.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah, well they when movie theaters started putting the butter
dispensary on your side of the counter to where you
can put as much as you.
Speaker 2 (14:33):

fat Graham.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
We should change our flag to like a fat gram.
It's being fat as normal now. It's just so you
see a skinny person, you're surprised. And it used to
be when you saw a heavy person.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
You were surprised.

(17:40):
George Takai. Yes, that's George to Kai from Star Trek,
the original Star Trek from nineteen sixty six and of
course the movies in nineteen eight nineteen eighties, and it
is a fascinating concept as Star Trek because it just
never has ended, and there's been so many different versions
(18:01):
on television. The next generation. Then they rebooted the whole
movie uh series in the early two thousands, which they
did a great job. I thought that they could not
really kind of reboot it, and they did. I'm gonna
get his thoughts on that. And then of course all
of the guest stars. One of the guest stars obviously
Kahn was played by Ricardo Montalban and I want to
(18:24):

I don't. You can ask, does anybody ever think that
you were confuse you with somebody in Star Wars?
Speaker 1 (18:45):

It pisses the fans off if you called Star Trek
Star Wars and vice versa.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah, does it get on your I don't think no,
not at all. It's just like, no, dou that was
Star Trek. Well, because I've worked with you for so long,
it's I just I just get used to the idiot behavior.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
The guy didn't come out as gay until he was
sixty eight years old, but he had a relationship for
like two decades. Can you hide a relationship for two
decades in twenty twenty five? Don't with cameras and whatnot.

If you and let me tell you, if you're a
fan of Rock Hudson, do not watch the Netflix documentary
on Rock Hudson. Don't watch it. If you're a fan,

after he knew he had HIV. Oh he still did
(19:55):
a He still did a couple of scenes with some
app actresses in the in the and back then they
didn't know whether you can contract it by kissing and
all that. That's how early it was. And again, they
treated people with HIV so horribly in the beginning that
when they found out and how he got out it
was he was in France and one.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Of the doctors saw its underpants.
Speaker 3 (20:20):

huge airliner by himself because he because he had age,

jobs at nearby Kroger's. Here's the thing, they need the help.
They needed more people. I mean, you're doing it. You know,
(22:04):
you're checking most of the time, you're checking your own
food out anyway, because they just can't. And let me
tell you, Kroger pays. Kroger pays pretty good.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So you can order just.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
About anything on Amazon have it dropped off at your door.
What you can't do is look at your own produce, oh,
you know, and pick up things like that. But if
they get some kind of virtual way for you to
like put on a headset and walk through Akroger and
go that that, I mean, that's impossible.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I have trouble finding the Skyline Chili in a can,
like I can't. I know iought it, No, I don't
think so I don't know where it is. I always
get confused and it takes me five minutes to walk
the aisles to try to figure out where it is.
But it's like a little game, though, and then when
you find it, it's happiness.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Oh it's great. Making Skyline Chili at home is pretty good.
It's really good. Pretty good, kidding me, pretty good chili
dogs with that. It's no cheese cony. It's no cheese
coney at the restaurant. No, you can't.

Kroger, though, has been getting some competition. What's the Florida
grocery stores.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
That are now here?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
There's two of them, Publics Publics. Publics is pretty good.
I gotta admit. They make actual. You know, my family's
from Key West, and when I used to go down
there and stay with them, my grandfather would get up
in the morning and go to the bakery and bring
three loaves of Cuban bread at home every single morning,
and it were still warm from the bay from the oven.
(24:05):
And I could never find Cuban bread. Public says, Cuban bread,
It's delicious. But I got to drive out too. Isn't
it Old Henry? I think it's out Old Henry or
wherever it is. But they are getting some competition, and
basically they just don't They just don't have the people
to work in these Kroger's. They do their best because
it's always crowded. I'm never at Kroger when there's it's
(24:26):
not crowded.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Trying to figure out what's what the hell's going.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
On with him?

mice and Men, Lenny. Lenny takes over his brain every
once in a while. Butterfly the new COVID strain, they
tell you again. They try to scare you with a
new COVID strain every once in a while, and it
probably is a new strain. But this one's a lot
of fun. They call it the razor blade throat COVID, so.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It's basically a strip throat is now a.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I got an infection in my throat a couple of
years agoing on I did The Underdogs, and it felt
every time I swallowed, it felt like there was somebody
taking a razor blade and going was a strap. I
don't know what it was. I've never had that before
in my life. Well strep throats like that, and I've
had it plenty. Thought I was gonna die. Uh, but yes,
add another little symptom to COVID.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's fantastic, Thank you so much. How many times do
you think you've had COVID? I know, Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I don't test for COVID because yeah, that's my point,
But you know, when you've how many times do you
think you've had it?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I know definitively. I had it one time. Yeah, and
that's because I've had it twice, because I've had pneumonia
so many times. Once you've had pnemonias, you're susceptible to it.
So whenever I have when do we get really.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Bad sick, I've got to go to get to cigarette
cigarettes and bone bongs.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
That doesn't help. Well, that hurts that, that fights the COVID.
But because of that, because of that, I've got to
go get chest X rays, you know, when it gets
too bad. And in order to get at Baptist these
they had me to take a COVID test.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Let's get let's take a break. Let's take a break in.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
You're in Louisville.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, yes, By the way, I know it's a dumb question,
but have you here? Have you ever been to Louisville, Kentucky?
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Good to be in Louisville and talking with you guys.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I love it. I love it.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Okay, all right, we only have a certain minutes with you,
so we want to jump right into it. Go ahead,
but let's get in nineteen sixty six. You get the
role on Star Trek.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
But it's it's it's really unique because Asian actors, they weren't.
Outside of Bruce Lee and you, I think you are
the two that broke the barrier, they were played by
white people.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Uh did you get a.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Lot of I don't know, Well, the whole cast, Yeah,
the whole The whole cast was a diverse Uh was
that uncomfortable when you went in there where people treat
you nice?
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Gene Rodenberry, who created Star Trek, was a visionary what
you wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
With a star Trank.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
The acronym tells the story indict id icee, which stands
for infinite diversity in infinite combinations. And here was this
futuristic starship in the twenty third century with a great crew,
top notch of space engineers, all working together, reflecting the
(28:28):
diversity of this planet. And so we had an African woman.
We had in the middle of Cold War with Russia,
we had a character who spoke with a Russian accent Chekhov.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Play Walter Kynig and.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Green blooded pointiered Melian named spot It sat diversity coming
together and working as a team in concert. That made
the star Trek uh uh star Fleet uh uh a
successful uh, A team defining future.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
It was.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
And I believe they had the first on screen kiss,
didn't they the other sing Christmas between Hulu and uh
and William Shatter Yes Yes, which was a big deal,
the first black and white kiss in television history, the
first time that it was a landmark event.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
But it was also a landmark for us in terms
of rating. Our ratings plunged because that episode was not
aired by many of the southerns Yes wow, and that's
why Yeah. I talked to Gene Rob Murray about dealing
(29:59):
with the gay liberation issue in the metaphor that we
used to deal with the Vietnam War and civil rights
move with all the other issues. He said, with that,
I'm writing walking on a type rope given the times,
(30:19):
but with that black white kiss of our ratings plunge
and if I have another show like.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
That, we're going to be off their I can't afford
to deal.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
With the LGBTQ issue, and I was closeted in speaking
to him as a liberal, and so I talk about
it all and it rhymes with K.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
There's that scene there and.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
That's why we never dealt with the gay liberation issue
on Star Trek.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I got.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
There's so many questions I want to ask you about.
I know Leonard moy directed Someone and William Shattner. I
wanted to ask you which one you liked better as
a director or producer. But I got a Ricardo Montemont
is one of those guys that we grew up with
watching and he of course played con What was he like?
Was he just the guy we think he was? What
was it like working with Ricardo Montamont.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Ricardo was a movie star from the golden era of movies.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
He was very theatrical.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
In the morning, we were all staggering too makeup, and
you know, disheveled and sleepy, and and we used to
PLoP ourselves into the makeup chair. But when Ricardo arrived,
he would walk into makeup all's with a cravat and
a beret and it was a good morning, Michelle, you
(31:52):
are so beautiful.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I love you, my daughter.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
And so he was, you know, one of these old
fashioned movie with a Latino accent, and he I loved
him for that.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
And he brought that same kind.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Of theatrical size bigness to his playing of.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Of con con con.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
In Uh, The Wrath of Khan.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
That was a very popular show. I think one of
the most popular shows we did.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
George DeKay, his new by rhymes with right.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
You're miss pronounced it.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It's kay, God, that's what I say, Okay, But he
did didn't did. America has been meant for pronouncing it
saying all right, listen George to kay. The name of the.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Guy is a mispronouncie, thank you. I tell them the
meaning of the word.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
To kai in Japanese. They quit me started pronouncing my
name Kai spelled t A k A. I means expensive.
It's decay, which doesn't mean expensive.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Listen, the name of the book is it rhymes with decay.
George Decay. We're out of time. But I got to
ask you one last question. Have you and Shatner written
off any chance of reconcilt reconciliation or you guys pass things?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
He lives here in Kentucky.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Reconciled with.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
What haven't you all been feuding for decades? What haven't
you and Shatner been feuding for decades?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
What I've been What have I been doing?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (33:37):
No, I guess that is wrong. Okay, okay, they cut
us off? All right, Well, whoever booked that for you?
Speaker 5 (33:44):
All right?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
So in the second leg you were right by accident. No,
I was right on purpose.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I said Decay, Decay, Decay.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
No, you didn't do it, Kai, It's been he said it.
We've been saying it wrong for five decades. We've been
saying George to Kai. I've been saying to Kay, no
like Decay, what was his what was his name on
the show? If you've been following him for so long?
What was his name on the show? Officer Wang, that's
(34:17):
not true. But whoever booked that guest for us? It
doesn't get anything more. We want more time with him.
And he actually hung the phone up on us, which
is very rude.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Uh. And they hung up on us. So that's very
rude because I talked about Shatner. Oh maybe it's that's true,
did you that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
They've been in each other's throats for decades.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Apparently he sounded surprised. He sounded surprised. He was like,
what are you talking about. It's a legit question, if
it's if it's if it's a.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Thing Tony's breaking the lineman. Yeah, baby, that's where I'm
going today after the show. I'm getting some an oor change,
dune tires rotated. They do just about anything on just
about any type of vehicle. It's not just breaks in alignment.
And they have the best equipment and they have the
best technicians that money can buy so much to the
(35:08):
point they don't give you just a warranty. They give
you a three year, thirty six thousand mile warranty. That's
on every single job that they do at Tony's break
in Alignment. Put your mind at rest, go with the best,
and that's Tony's break and Alignment.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
We might get austin In. He watched Jaws over the weekend.
He disparaged the movie a couple of weeks ago, and
we're like, dude, you're barking up their own cree back
after this on news radio eight forty WHA's
Well, the lollipop Man can't give high fives to kids
at a crosswalk anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's a strange headline.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It is, Well, in England there's a fifty seven year
old man named Neil Cotton. He's no longer allowed to
high five children as they cross the street. Cotton has
been named the lollipop Man. That would make me suspicious.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Why do they call you the Wait a minute, what
does he do?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
He's one of these crossing guards, but they nicknamed him
the lollipop Man. It seems that him high fiving the
kids as they walk through the crosswalk calls around an
extra ten or fifteen seconds every time the children cross.
Become an issue with the drivers that are annoyed that
they have to sit for the additional ten to fifteen seconds.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
These are dwights, absolutely, these are dwights.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Are people like Dwight or you can't you can't stay
there for another ten or fifteen seconds. And there's something
cool that those kids will always remember the rest of
their life was remember mister what was his name Cotton?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
The lollipops?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Oh, I mean, mister lollipop man, I remember you gave
us high fives. That really kind of started my.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Day off, right, But since I won't be doing that,
I'll have a worse day because there's people like Dwight
that just explain, maybe they get a good start for the.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Day, do your stupid stuff on your for Here's what
really pisses me off. The school buses picks up the
real itty bitty little kids and the parents are like,
you know, standing there holding their hands because they're itty
bitty kids. They barely walk, you know what I mean.
So instead of picking them up and carrying them to
the bus, they do the deal where okay, let me
(01:35):
walk holding your hand. It takes twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Does he look how cute he is? It doesn't take
twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Pick it up.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
No, it's not at all.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
The bus you have to let kids do stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Dude, Look practice walking on your own dime, not mine.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I gotta get to work.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
This is so mister, poor mister Cotton, and poor these kids.
These kids start their day with a little bit of joy.
Now have been taken away because of a joy. Shirk's like,
you're telling me that these kids have a tough day
at school.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
It's a little hard to be at school.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And when you're that age and you started with a
high five from the cool guy that does the crosswalk,
but people like you want to ruin it.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Hey, Timmy, your girlfriend Cindy broke up with you is
now with Brian. Do you think maybe giving a high
five to a creepy old man crossing guard the call
of a lollipop man might make you feel better.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Maybe maybe when they were that age, somebody gave you
a high five every day to school, maybe you would
have turned out differently.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Hello lollipop man, Hey every body, Yes, you're a lollipop man.
Representatives for the community say they valued the service and
safety provided by Cotton the Lollipop Man, but it reminded
everybody that the go should be safety, not distractions. Even
if the kids are saddened by the elimination, I'm all
(02:59):
for it.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Now let's have no fun.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
No, you have fun, just have it on your own dime.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's kind of like the people that you know with
the ten speeds. You know, let's go ride to ten speeds? Yes, okay,
so hey Mike, when you go ride to ten speech?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
We could do it in our neighborhood around six o'clock,
or we could do it during rush hour traffic on
Hurstbourne Lane.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, let's do that. It's a little different. Stop. Yeah,
let's do that. Stop it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Let's go to Spain, where a seventy year old beekeeper
released his secret weapons on police. He wasn't a fan
of being put over by the police. On Friday, the
police allegedly noticed the man not wearing a seat belt.
Did I wonder if they give the full cirben or
just no they do the.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Those are the worst.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Given full siren just makes me sick. Friday, the cops
allegedly notice the man not wearing his seat belt his van.
The tone of the interaction was set by the driver, though,
who started off by saying to the police, Ugh said,
I should have run over you. That's when the officer
inspective the man might have been drinking, gad the man
(04:15):
a breathalyzer and say that sure enough, he was drinking.
He blew above the legal limits, so officers asked him
to repeat the test. That's when he refused and instead
ran to the back of his van. That's when he
released a swarm of honey bees. The honey bees immediately
went after the cops. The two officers were stung several times,
(04:37):
eventually had to take refuge in a nearby restaurant. The
beekeeper then drove off, but was later apprehended by the
officers in charge.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Here's where the Internet goes wrong. Right, there's a lot
of good things about the Internet. There's a lot of
bad things. Nowadays. You get these videos because people watch
stuff on video that they now know their rights. And
you see the video after video when a police officer
just because I need your license and registration. That is
just like normal, that is my normal procedure when you
get pulled over.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
For decades, for.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
As long as anyone can remember, now you have these
videos of people that are, you know, roadside lawyers that
are like, I know my riots.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I don't have to show you I D No, you do?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You do?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
You do?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Show you're you're driving a car? Uh No, I don't
have to show you my ID. Yes you do. They
end up getting pulled out of the car and arrested.
Show them your ID. You're not a lawyer. He pulled
you over for a reason. Show them your ID.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Here's another thing. We had a guest on here. It said,
you don't understand when I got to pull it over?
I've got to put my hands up on the steering.
That's what I do. I've got a consialed carry permit.
When I get pulled over hap without fail, every single
times I get my license and my conceiled carry, I
put him on the fingers and I put my palms
on the on the sternwheel. Now, if it's a nighttime,
(05:57):
I turned the dorm light on and I said, hey,
first thing I say is hey, officer, for your safety
in mind, I've got a loaded weapon in the vehicle.
Here's my cantill carry a my lifeses. That's how I'll start.
What is the big problem doing that?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
And I always turn my car off too, because that's
why your cop, a police officer will touch the car
before he walks up to your window because he wants
to know if the car is running or not. And
to make them feel better, you got to, you know,
turn the car off, because those are We've been on
a lot of ride alongs a lot, and they're nerve
racking because you do not know if this pullover, we'll
(06:37):
end up with you in a shootout or a fight. Now,
most don't ninety nine point nine percent of them don't.
But you don't know if that point one is going
to be right now. So it's very dangerous and nerve
wracking for these guys. And they do a good job,
just man, especially on the expressway. Come on, it's the
most dangerous place to work, and they have to work
(06:57):
there every day. Do what the man says.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I wonder if when they locked up the guy with
the bees, when they brought him in and started booking, said,
what are you booking for? You're not gonna be leave
this one?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
See John, he picked stories sometimes to do this long
climb just to get to the line.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I wonder if what they opened the cell of he said,
be my guest.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I thought, honey bee, the honey bees sting you?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I guess yeah, honey bees will sting you now, the big,
gigantic fat bumba bees, the wood burrowing bees not so much.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Uh, wasn't the only Gilligan's Island the girls band called
the honey Bees.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh hey, we got to hear that song?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
We look, yeah we do, John, can you pull up
the honey bees from this island? I gotta we gotta
hear the song. You can't just bring that up and
not play it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
You don't know if we are you kidding? Now?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
We do?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
We need it?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
All right, We're gonna take a short break, uh, George
Takai or around the bottom of the hour, of course,
from the original star Trek in this seria of movies
in the nineteen eighties. What a career he's had. And
part of the questions I'll have for him is people
don't realize at that time to have such a diverse cast.
In the nineteen sixties, you had a Russian had an Asian,
(08:19):
which mister Takai had a black female Hurah, which was
a very the studio, the TV studios were like, we
can't do this, and it was a huge hit.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Well, I'll tell you what else is kind of fascinating.
In nineteen sixty six when he took on that role,
Asians really didn't have a place in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
For example, if there was an Asian character who's usually
a bumbling idiot or maybe a bad guy or girl,
but they were played by Caucasian people.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, it's crazy. All right, man, let's take a short break.
But first vision, first eye care.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I was just in there Saturday to pick up my
glasses because I had dropped him and a scratch, and
I walked in there and told them, hey, what can
I do with this scratching like it's underwarranty.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
We're good.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I'll get you a new pair and I'll text you
A couple of days later. They texted me and I
went in there and got them and that was it.
Was in there for like two minutes and got my
new glasses. Vision First Eye Care, get the exam, talk
to the doctor, and then get your frames picked out.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
So listen, I'm always a glass half empty guy? Really
who a kid? And I'm the glass is broken guy.
You hate the glass and then you hate it's half empty, right,
and then I hate the person's asking me about the glass.
I'm like, you got eyes. Well, I hate to tell
(12:02):
you this, but we're out of skinny pop here I saw,
I know, and look look enough with restocking, Doritos and
free you know all that just skinny pop that's.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
All we eat.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well, I blame you because I had two bags three.
You had three on Friday and three on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I did not.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
When you eat three bags of skinny pop, it becomes
fatty fat.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
No, I had two.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
But here's where I'm going.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Each bag of skinny pop, both of them, that means
two John Anthony.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
John, you had one thousand dollars, and you bet on
whether he had three bags or two. Which would you
put on the thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Man?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I think I think based on based on your ability
to tell the truth, I would go with the three bags.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh, come on, man, I'm serious. I had two bags.
But I digress.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
He's a very talented liar, he is.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
No, I'm not lit'sten.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, I really am.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But listen to this. So I was at home over
the weekend. I thought, man, that little bag is one
hundred calories, and then it dawned on me, how much
is a movie popcorn? Like you go to the movies
and you get a large, one of the gigantic ones.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
What's that gonna run?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well if you if you just get the medium size
with just that that one sized bag, you know, everybody
knows what the medium looks like. If you put butter
on it, it's about ninety grams of fat in about
a thousand calories. Okay, So when we would do that,
we'd skip dinner and we get we get the popcorn corn. Yeah,
we'd skipped dinner and we'd get the popcorn.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
At the movie.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Okay, but do you finish eating it by the time
the movie starts, because I don't want in the quiet
parts of the movie to.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Hear Now, do you all do the butter? Because I
always say, no, butter, butter.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Oh no, I gotta have a little butter because I've
seen not a lot. I used to date a girl
a lot. It's dated girl.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And she was high maintenance unlike me.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Wow. And so we go Sheldon and up to go take.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Her to the movies. There to the movies. She say,
go bato large popcorn. Okayyy, have it. Put a quarter
of it in popcorn, put butter on it, another quarter,
put butter on it four times, and then shake it up.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And I'm like, oh, and I didn't like butter.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah, well they when movie theaters started putting the butter
dispensary on your side of the counter to where you
can put as much as you.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Want on it. Do they do that now?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, I said, I said, America is just one big
fat Graham.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Well what big fat?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
We should change our flag to like a fat gram.
It's being fat as normal now. It's just so you
see a skinny person, you're surprised. And it used to
be when you saw a heavy person.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
You were surprised.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Somebody sent me like the fattest man in He was
like a freak show and it was from like the
nineteen thirties and it looked just like the regular guy
stand in front of me at the Kroger.
Speaker 2 (15:10):

By the way, I got to ride one of those
uh fat people machines when I go grocery shopping now

look at me because they're pissed off, so they think
I'm goofing on them. I'm not goofing on you.

twenty five years ago. This little girl uh was eating
too much and they were they the doctors and the
parents were so concerned. They got a nutritionists involved in
all this. This is in the episode. The little girl
would be considered not over eight right now like in
(16:03):
today's terms.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
She was not. She was chunky, but she wasn't overweight.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
In the episode this, they were going over the top
that she needed to change her habits and all that
that is completely gone now. I mean there was no
setting the bar to say, hey, we got to be
better here, you got to eat better.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I mean it was It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Even when I watched Jaws two yesterday, the fat teenager

sixty three six Help. We're gonna have a conversation with
(17:40):
George Takai. Yes, that's George to Kai from Star Trek,
the original Star Trek from nineteen sixty six and of
course the movies in nineteen eight nineteen eighties, and it
is a fascinating concept as Star Trek because it just
never has ended, and there's been so many different versions
(18:01):
on television. The next generation. Then they rebooted the whole
movie uh series in the early two thousands, which they
did a great job. I thought that they could not
really kind of reboot it, and they did. I'm gonna
get his thoughts on that. And then of course all
of the guest stars. One of the guest stars obviously
Kahn was played by Ricardo Montalban and I want to
(18:24):
know what he was like to work with.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I want to know.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
What was the inspiration for the wokie.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Please don't do that, Please don't embarrass everyone. No, he's not.
I just I won't.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I don't. You can ask, does anybody ever think that
you were confuse you with somebody in Star Wars?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It pisses the fans off. Here's why I'm asking me.
It pisses the fans off if you called Star Trek
Star Wars and vice versa.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah, does it get on your I don't think no,
not at all. It's just like, no, dou that was
Star Trek. Well, because I've worked with you for so long,
it's I just I just get used to the idiot behavior.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
The guy didn't come out as gay until he was
sixty eight years old, but he had a relationship for
like two decades. Can you hide a relationship for two
decades in twenty twenty five? Don't with cameras and whatnot.
I don't think he can?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You sure you think so?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I think you can.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I don't know who you can make.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I mean, well, you had to then, But that's why
I say a sixties.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah he did, but he and he did it for decades.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Rock Hudson.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
If you and let me tell you, if you're a
fan of Rock Hudson, do not watch the Netflix documentary
on Rock Hudson. Don't watch it. If you're a fan,
stay a fan, because he did some really questionable stuff
after he knew he had HIV. Oh he still did
(19:55):
a He still did a couple of scenes with some
app actresses in the in the and back then they
didn't know whether you can contract it by kissing and
all that. That's how early it was. And again, they
treated people with HIV so horribly in the beginning that
when they found out and how he got out it
was he was in France and one.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Of the doctors saw its underpants.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
They they made him ride on a seven like a
huge airliner by himself because he because he had age,
and they were like, you're getting out of this country now,
kicked him out and that's how he That's how the
news broke. I was at w QMF at the time
and we were all like what because he played the
(20:41):
tough guy. Ro Hutson was the sort of the you know,
six foot five, good looking dude.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Hey, uh, put the mic down for one second. Yes,
all right, you could have said that on the air.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Did it look normal?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
No, it doesn't look it looked swallow? Right, Oh, please
don't do that. I'm that's what with the MIC's down.
You're an open book.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
He's in there talking to somebody. You're you're an open book.
He's not yet.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You know what, man, Well, the other people are running over.
He is gonna hate my yelp review.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
All right, We're gonna have to rapid fire questions because
we only have a couple of minutes with him, and
I really want to talk to him. I mean, it's
he's he's had an incredible career. So and I don't
know when the first oh my ever, like, could he
actually ever say that?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I think that came from the Howard Stern Show, because
oh did it?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Yea?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
He became a staple with Stern somehow, and I don't
know how he got linked up with them.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh my.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Kroger to close sixty stores over the next eighteen months.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
A lot of competition, especially in Louisville, has moved in.
They have twelve hundred and thirty nine Kroger brand stores
across the nation. The Cincinnati based grocer told CBS News
that they that all the affected employees will be offered
jobs at nearby Kroger's. Here's the thing, they need the help.
They needed more people. I mean, you're doing it. You know,
(22:04):
you're checking most of the time, you're checking your own
food out anyway, because they just can't. And let me
tell you, Kroger pays. Kroger pays pretty good.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So you can order just.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
About anything on Amazon have it dropped off at your door.
What you can't do is look at your own produce, oh,
you know, and pick up things like that. But if
they get some kind of virtual way for you to
like put on a headset and walk through Akroger and
go that that, I mean, that's impossible.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I have trouble finding the Skyline Chili in a can,
like I can't. I know iought it, No, I don't
think so I don't know where it is. I always
get confused and it takes me five minutes to walk
the aisles to try to figure out where it is.
But it's like a little game, though, and then when
you find it, it's happiness.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Oh it's great. Making Skyline Chili at home is pretty good.
It's really good. Pretty good, kidding me, pretty good chili
dogs with that. It's no cheese cony. It's no cheese
coney at the restaurant. No, you can't.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
It's just the goodness is there before we get him on.

grocery stores.
Speaker 1 (23:44):

Speaker 3 (23:45):
There's two of them, Publics Publics. Publics is pretty good.
I gotta admit. They make actual. You know, my family's
from Key West, and when I used to go down
there and stay with them, my grandfather would get up
in the morning and go to the bakery and bring
three loaves of Cuban bread at home every single morning,
and it were still warm from the bay from the oven.
(24:05):
And I could never find Cuban bread. Public says, Cuban bread,
It's delicious. But I got to drive out too. Isn't
it Old Henry? I think it's out Old Henry or
wherever it is. But they are getting some competition, and
basically they just don't They just don't have the people
to work in these Kroger's. They do their best because
it's always crowded. I'm never at Kroger when there's it's
(24:26):
not crowded.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Trying to figure out what's what the hell's going.
Speaker 2 (24:31):

new COVID strain every once in a while, and it
probably is a new strain. But this one's a lot
of fun. They call it the razor blade throat COVID, so.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It's basically a strip throat is now a.
Speaker 3 (25:17):

years agoing on I did The Underdogs, and it felt
every time I swallowed, it felt like there was somebody
taking a razor blade and going was a strap. I
don't know what it was. I've never had that before
in my life. Well strep throats like that, and I've
had it plenty. Thought I was gonna die. Uh, but yes,
add another little symptom to COVID.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's fantastic, Thank you so much. How many times do
you think you've had COVID? I know, Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I don't test for COVID because yeah, that's my point,
But you know, when you've how many times do you
think you've had it?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I know definitively. I had it one time. Yeah, and
that's because I've had it twice, because I've had pneumonia
so many times. Once you've had pnemonias, you're susceptible to it.
So whenever I have when do we get really.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Bad sick, I've got to go to get to cigarette
cigarettes and bone bongs.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
That doesn't help. Well, that hurts that, that fights the COVID.
But because of that, because of that, I've got to

Speaker 5 (27:10):
You're in Louisville.
Speaker 3 (27:12):

Good to be in Louisville and talking with you guys.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I love it. I love it.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Okay, all right, we only have a certain minutes with you,
so we want to jump right into it. Go ahead,
but let's get in nineteen sixty six. You get the
role on Star Trek.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
But it's it's it's really unique because Asian actors, they weren't.
Outside of Bruce Lee and you, I think you are
the two that broke the barrier, they were played by
white people.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Uh did you get a.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Lot of I don't know, Well, the whole cast, Yeah,
the whole The whole cast was a diverse Uh was
that uncomfortable when you went in there where people treat
you nice?
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Gene Rodenberry, who created Star Trek, was a visionary what
you wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
With a star Trank.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
The acronym tells the story indict id icee, which stands
for infinite diversity in infinite combinations. And here was this
futuristic starship in the twenty third century with a great crew,
top notch of space engineers, all working together, reflecting the
(28:28):
diversity of this planet. And so we had an African woman.
We had in the middle of Cold War with Russia,
we had a character who spoke with a Russian accent Chekhov.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Play Walter Kynig and.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Green blooded pointiered Melian named spot It sat diversity coming
together and working as a team in concert. That made
the star Trek uh uh star Fleet uh uh a
successful uh, A team defining future.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
It was.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
And I believe they had the first on screen kiss,
didn't they the other sing Christmas between Hulu and uh
and William Shatter Yes Yes, which was a big deal,
the first black and white kiss in television history, the
first time that it was a landmark event.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
But it was also a landmark for us in terms
of rating. Our ratings plunged because that episode was not
aired by many of the southerns Yes wow, and that's
why Yeah. I talked to Gene Rob Murray about dealing
(29:59):
with the gay liberation issue in the metaphor that we
used to deal with the Vietnam War and civil rights
move with all the other issues. He said, with that,
I'm writing walking on a type rope given the times,
(30:19):
but with that black white kiss of our ratings plunge
and if I have another show like.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
That, we're going to be off their I can't afford
to deal.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
With the LGBTQ issue, and I was closeted in speaking
to him as a liberal, and so I talk about
it all and it rhymes with K.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
There's that scene there and.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
That's why we never dealt with the gay liberation issue
on Star Trek.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I got.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
There's so many questions I want to ask you about.
I know Leonard moy directed Someone and William Shattner. I
wanted to ask you which one you liked better as
a director or producer. But I got a Ricardo Montemont
is one of those guys that we grew up with
watching and he of course played con What was he like?
Was he just the guy we think he was? What
was it like working with Ricardo Montamont.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Ricardo was a movie star from the golden era of movies.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
He was very theatrical.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
In the morning, we were all staggering too makeup, and
you know, disheveled and sleepy, and and we used to
PLoP ourselves into the makeup chair. But when Ricardo arrived,
he would walk into makeup all's with a cravat and
a beret and it was a good morning, Michelle, you
(31:52):
are so beautiful.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I love you, my daughter.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
And so he was, you know, one of these old
fashioned movie with a Latino accent, and he I loved
him for that.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
And he brought that same kind.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Of theatrical size bigness to his playing of.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Of con con con.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
In Uh, The Wrath of Khan.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
That was a very popular show. I think one of
the most popular shows we did.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
George DeKay, his new by rhymes with right.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
You're miss pronounced it.
Speaker 2 (32:36):

meaning of the word.
Speaker 4 (32:51):

name Kai spelled t A k A. I means expensive.
It's decay, which doesn't mean expensive.
