And Mark Thompson is here, Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Do you miss doing this.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 6 (00:37):
Yeah, uh huh. This is like a rocket shit. And
you I came in. You guys are recording this and
recording that, and I have asked Sammy.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
It took her thirty seconds.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
They explained to me that five am is five am. Yeah,
so listen, I appreciate you inviting me. I'm looking forward
to it.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Mark sen with us all morning, and uh you know,
so here's the thing. This is how we know Mark.
Mark is a legend. Okay, he will tell you that himself.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Oh he'll be.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
He'll be the first time. He's all right, be nice
to the guest. Okay, So Mark and Brian huge successful
radio show, syndicated but dominated Los Angeles for damn near
thirty years on Koos and Menace and Greg and I
we didn't grow up listening to because we weren't from
(01:25):
the area, but I still knew about it, right, that's
so anyway, so big. They're radio Hall of Famers, something
we will never achieve ever in a billion years. However,
they're in the radio Hall of Fame. But Gina worked
with Mark.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, I'm repping the merch today.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So after Mark and Brian, after twenty seven twenty eight
something like that year's twenty seven, twenty seven years, he
went to go do his own thing and hired Gina.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And then way before that, when it was still Mark
and Brian, a very young Sammy Marino like a phone
screener for your show, and yeah, I'm not sure, yeah,
so long ago.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah, and then I met her, but I didn't know her.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And then Mark wrote a book and I heard about
this book from another radio friend of mine in Houston.
He's like, dude, you got to read this book. I go, huh,
And so I downloaded the audiobook. I listened to the
whole thing. I'm like, man, I got to reach out
to I was only like maybe a quarter the way
through it already, I'm like, this is so good, and
I wanted to reach out to him, so I hit
up Sammy because I knew that he that she knew him.
And so then Mark and I started talking, and I
(02:32):
think we've become great friends.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
We have.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I've enjoyed our times together. And it wasn't too long
until we began talking that I realized I am incredibly
stupid and I don't know what he's saying. No, I'm
not kidding. You are so far a hit. Look, I
would go into the radio station, flip on the mic
and tell a few jokes and hope that some of
them landed. You were talking about rocket ship crap and
(02:56):
I didn't quite understand, but.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, it's it's quite the production and you know with
how we have to, you know, do the show and
how things get put together and.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Absolutely and it's it. It is just an amazing swirl
for me. Like I came in this morning and I
was watching and listening to what you were doing, and
it's pretty confusing to an old guy, but I really
enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, I love that watch. And Mark's been a great
mentor you have, you've been a really great mentor. That's
someone who's done what I've been doing now. But for
you know, twenty plus years just in one place. Overall,
how long were you in radio, like for like total
of what one hundred years?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Fifty five fifty six.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Yeah, I got it at sixteen when I was seventy
in nineteen seventy three, and it and I heard this
is for old radio dogs. But I heard a box
of air checks at sixteen, because you know, you get
a job at a radio station and you're there all
the time because you can be ye, well, they can't
kick me out, they let you, right, And I heard
(03:55):
this box of air checks, and those guys they sounded
so good.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I wanted to be that.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, will send in these air check these demos to
radio station trying to get jobs. And so basically it's
just like a it's a it's a it's a little
clips from whatever they were doing on their like an
audition tape, right exactly. So Yeah, you listen to the
he's like, well.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
And I wanted to be that.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
And I realized I was never going to make it
by staying in my hometown. I left climbed the ladder
job to job. It was the greatest adventure. And it's
true what they say. It is not the destination, it's
the journey. I had the best time. And if a
genie came down and said, I'll let you do it again.
But the key is I can't change anything, and I said.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Rocket, let's go.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So I mean in the book is fantastic. It's called
don't drop the Dump, Don't bump the record, kid, and
you can find it online in the audiobook. And I
always anybody who's known for doing any kind of like
audio media, so like whether it's a broadcaster or a podcaster,
someone who's a public speaker, I'd much rather hear their
(04:56):
book than read it, even if you know, because you
it's in your voice, and the stories are great, the
celebrity stuff, some wild stuff like you gotta check it
out even if you have no real interest in radio.
It's just the whole. Like you said, that journey it was.
It was a really really well done book. And you'll
like this Greg. It goes to charity. So it wasn't
(05:17):
like a big money it's not a money making thing
for you.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Well that's what I claimed.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Yeah, yeah, a percent.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
I met Alice in Eastwood. I am a massive animal lover,
dog and cats, all of them actually, but the ones
I've lived in the house won't leave, and so I
wanted to help. She had she was building a rescue center,
a place where dogs and cats are pulled from kill shelters,
and that could go in there. I wrote her a check,
gave her the entire thing, all of it. We're still
(05:47):
My wife comes to me because she keeps track of it.
She goes, you made seventeen bucks last week, and so
the thing is still shrickling along.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, I've told a billion people about it, so well,
you're kind probably responsible for at least six Well, that's
seventeen dollars.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I have to tell you.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
When I started out, I had never written a book,
didn't know how to write a book, and I thought,
maybe I should buy a book that teaches me how
to read or write a book.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
And I thought that's stupid. Yeah, I just started writing.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Who would do that?
Speaker 6 (06:14):
But I will say I had an idea of where
I wanted it to go. But when you start a
long process like writing a book, it takes you down
different paths you didn't expect to go. And while I
was in the middle of that, I thought, I did
write this, But I thought, if I just keep writing
and I look at it later, I don't like it,
just take it out. So the process was, Oh, and
(06:35):
be aware. Seriously, when you open up the doors of
your memories, when they're joyous memories, it's fantastic because you
live in these rooms, your memories for weeks at a
time as you write these stories, and the bad ones,
those those come out to dude, it's like therapy. I
woke stuff up that was thirty forty years old and
(06:55):
I couldn't sleep. That crap is still in there, still
frickin hurts, So be careful. It's weird how how vivid.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
It is easier once you get going, because I imagine
writing the first sentence would take a year.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
You know.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I decided to go chronologically, start at the beginning of
the Mark and Brian thing, take it to the end.
That was the concept, and that's what I tried to do.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
My joy.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
The fun that I learned of writing is rewriting, getting
that first draft out, getting it all back because I
can't type, and I actually type this. I didn't do
a ghostwriter.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
He hunted and packed. Yeah, little typewriter, and so.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
You can go back when you're rewriting. You can take
a chunk out, you could rewrite a chunk. You could
rewrite that. That was the part I love the most because.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Other people can do it for you too. You can
get like a ghost writer. But you're a writer. He's
written movies, screenplays, Yeah, you know, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I'm self named a writer, but I do enjoy the processes.
Problem with it, and the other problem is that I
don't know when to stop the rewrite.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
You keep redoing it and redoing it.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That's my problem a lot of times.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yeah, yeah, and I struggle with that. But you're kind
to say those words. It's a great book. It was
thoroughly enjoyable and I'm very proud of it. Yeah, and
you should check it out. And it all goes to Dugans.
The money, everything goes right to the Dugans. So yeah,
don't bump the record kid Mark Thompson. Wow, So just
to go online and check it out again, I recommend
(08:29):
you download the audiobook. For a guy who made a
very nice living sitting and telling stories and you know,
being able to communicate through an audio meetium with others professionally,
that's the way to do it. My least favorite part
of that was the redos on the audio book because
they'll sometimes be a glitch. You've got a book that's
ten twelve hours, so there's glitches, and you go back
(08:52):
here with the producer and he says, Okay, here's all
the glitches. And there were thirty of them on that day,
so he has to play a clip of the line
that the glitch is in so that you can get
the energy election and.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
I don't want to do this anymore.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's fun.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, Well, we're gonna hopefully learn a lot from Mark
about how to be a better show and how to eventually,
you know, make some kind of make some kind of
real impacts.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, we're doing okay, but I mean, you know, it
can always be better. Yeah, I mean, you know radio
Hall of Fame. Yeah, please, that's a there's some people
that there's guys I know that are in radio. They
have like stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I go,
I never even.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Heard of you.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Meanwhile, we can't get the Employee of the Month award
at our own radio station.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
When we got our star on the Walk of fame.
I got to You get to choose where it goes,
and they give you this this map of stuff that's available.
I could have gone really kind of anywhere that that
I wanted to go with it. But there was a
spot in front of the Hollywood Wax Museum, which.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Is worse wax music.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I saw Jack Nicholson and it looked like Ann Margaret
after this thing, so I said.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
We need to be right there. Yeah, yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Well, Mark Thompson's here, he's hanging out with us this morning.
As you know, we got the d u i Q
coming up next. I think you'll enjoy that. Phones are
open if you want to play eight seven seven forty
four what he as? You know, we need one contest
and we've got Sea Bass with the drunks on the
street answer the trivia questions. You have to try to
guess if the drunk will get the question right yes
or no. And then we take some fun guesses with
(10:30):
Sammy and Menace and see if they'll know it.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
What do I get to play? So of course they
just calmed down.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Dude, you are one of us today. You got to
slum it with us.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Dude, Woodie, I got to tell you to be back
at a live radio station. I vibe on this crap
and to be in here. Everything's kind of weird, wacky
and new, but I'm sure digging it. I've got coffee now,
Sammy's sitting next to me. Which one of those are
going to change? I've had so many treats I didn't
even te I'm.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Gonna double now.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
This is a show, all right, Welcome back everybody. What
our guest here is to do this morning is Mark Thompson,
formerly of the Mark and Brian radio Show, friend of
the Woody Show, and now a podcaster. Where do people
find your podcast?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Uh, it's everywhere that podcasts are somebody saying that.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
No, it's it's Uh, it's me yep, and I do
one a week.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
It's primarily guests when I can find one that's worth
listening to. But it's a lot of fun and for
quality and jokes and crap that I love doing. So
I took whatever it was I used to do and
I do it on that.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Once a week.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
And what do we call that?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Asking? Thank you?
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Surprising Sammy, you didn't bring that up.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
It is called what you do and when you do Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
It's I talk to people you know honestly, and I
think all of you in the room know this. Seletelebrities
for the most part are boring. They are, but we
don't do we don't do a lot of guests. Well,
they come in. The celebrities, they come in, they promote
their movie and they have nothing else to say that.
I talk to people that do interesting things. Oh, Gina,
you're gonna love this. I got a guy coming up.
(12:16):
His business is he goes in after murder into Okay,
you've already calmed down, I'm not finished.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
This is gonna blow your head off.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
This guy's company they go in their bread and butter
is they clean up after a suicide. But get this,
their their their side gig that they're just starting is
they go in and sort out homes of hoarders. So
(12:48):
that's that's what I talked to. I talk to people
that do like that.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
That's so much better than celebrities.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And and so it's that, it's and
it is hard to find. Like I talked to one guy,
I learned how to separate because I used to do
the entire show that I would go to the interview,
but if the interview sucks, I can't use the rest
of the show, so I started doing the recording separately.
I talked to one guy. I was on with him
for a frickin' hour. He could not answer a question,
(13:18):
what do you mean? I mean, I could say, say
ABC to me, he's incapable of doing it.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, we've met people. I know you're talking about that.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
We've met people like that.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
I was sitting there doing the interview and I kept
thinking this was deep into it, and I realized, I'm
talking to an insane man. Maybe I can edit this together.
And then I realized whatever stories he did get to,
we're worth hearing.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
So I just had to.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Bail on the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So it's called What You Do. It's available wherever you
find podcasts. Mark Thompson's podcast. I want to hear that.
I want to have them together, clean.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Up guy questions.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, and then the hoard the hoarding stuff.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
And this has always been a dream of mine, is
to talk to you. And you might think this is stupid.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
A hand bottel, how do you get it? Do you audition?
Speaker 8 (14:06):
How do you get the job? It would be exactly,
wouldn't that be interesting?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
These are the kind of how they're insured for like
a million dollars.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Yeah, these are the kind of people. And I'd also
talked to a guy who lives in London, Christopher Tester.
At the time I talked to him, he was a
budding voiceover artist. He just won this year Voiceover Artist
of the Year and it's pretty amazing to listen to
him and watch him do what he does. I found
him amazing. But that's what the show's about. But primarily
(14:35):
most of it is me screwing around having a good
time exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, but you do it on your own terms now,
which is great. That's the dream.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
And once a week all will.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
His gentlemen, boys and girls, Friday morning time for Today's
dumb Ass Contest.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
And today's dumb Ass Contest is.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The du.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You know you need to play along with this mark.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
We're just trying to guess if this drunk person that
sea bass here to your right has talked to you, well,
they know the answers to the super easy tribute questions.
And if the person on the phone who's are contestant
and can get it two out of three times correctly,
they will be the winner.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
They'll get a prize.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
We're just doing it for fun. Guess he with Sammy
and menace if they will get an answer or not?
Speaker 7 (15:21):
All right, now, let me ask where do you find
these drunk people?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Oh, typically in tourist spots, so I think Las Vegas Boulevard,
Bourbon Street, Broadway, Sixth Street, the Big, the Big, open your.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Drunk markets, sometimes music festivals.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
And sometimes it's just at the backstage at a WOODEP show party.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Sometimes it's one of us.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Yeah, I wouldn't imagine.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
This is hard, but you've got to get them to
give permission to do it they're drunk.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Is that a tough pull?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Number one?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Number two, I thought you're a professional. When you're speaking
into a microphone and a man has asked you if
you would like to do a contest for the radio,
where you asked certain trivia questions, that's implied consent.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
And also when they're on the street, because there's no
there's no expectation of privacy.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
How dare you look out for the contestants.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Let's yeah, yeah, let's go to the phones and get
our contestantcy how to James?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Hey, James, what's that man?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Good?
Speaker 7 (16:14):
He shows?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Good morning all right, So we're playing with the duy q.
Now before we get to the questions that count towards
you win in a prize or not, we're gonna hear
this drunk and we're gonna kind of get an idea
just how with it or not with they are? And
who is this seaball?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
This is Kira and she was pounding in an open
bottle of liquor, which is only legal in a few cities,
not in Nashville like where I talked to Kira, And
she's gonna tell us how she's doing that, why she's
doing it, and what the consequences of that are.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
All right, right now, drink and holiday.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So you in one hand, you've got a bottle Jose Quaird,
who's on the other hand.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Palsy from Taco bell with a little ice?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh you the cops hassling you would all know you're
drinking straight to quila and chasing you with colon on
a public street.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
No, can't think that is I'm just here for a
good time.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Not a lot of time. That's a good legal defense.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Scale wanted to how drunk would you say you are
right now?
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Well, I'm not blacked out, so I'm a a.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Do you recall the last time.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
You've blocked out.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
No, my definition, I guess, I guess whatever you say
just sound totally out of it.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
That classic combo cuervo and yeah, yeah, sure, Well it
depends on the questions are I mean I typically my
my my go to, especially before they show us anything, Mark,
is to say no, they're not going to know it.
That's typically my strategy.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
We do get surprised, yeah, sometimes.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
But this gal ain't grab it much.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
And I do love drunk people because they just have
to do I have to talk louder.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, because just in case you can't hear. All right,
So James, are you ready for question number one?
Speaker 5 (17:47):
I'm ready?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
All right, Sammy Sea bass menace everybody here, we go.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Leave the line, friends, Romans, countrymen, lend.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Me, lend me.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Mark also, yeah, we don't.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
We don't.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Don't blurt out the answer on I don't know if
we have two special needs students are working on it
as we are thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
So Sammy's she's got the pen and paper, she's working
over there.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
All I say is whether I think she's going to
get it collect I've listened to the podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
By Calm Down look a little homework.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
All right, So let's let's start with you, Greg.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
What do you think I'm going to Let's say no
to Kira, no to Menace. Notice you triple no.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I agree, But I think Sammy might get this one.
She seemed, and by the look on her face, she's
smiling and she looks kind of confident.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I think Kira doesn't get it. I think Menace doesn't
get it, but I think Sammy does. Gina grad same.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I wrote down Kira, no, Menace, no, Sammy Yes.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, Okay, what do you think Mark Thompson?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Uh, the drunk gal has no shot? Okay, whatsoever? Sammy's
gonna get it. Gina is gonna get it. I think
everybody else is going to get it, but.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
The drunk All right, I think Gina is gonna get
it as well.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
All Right, what do you think here, James? Yes or no?
The question number one? Is Kira, our drunk friend, going
to get this?
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Right?
Speaker 8 (19:16):
I'm gonna have to say no.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
It's because she is an eight out of ten?
Speaker 7 (19:20):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
All right, Well, let's see how we do around here
in the room. First with Menace and Sammy. Question number one.
Speaker 1 (19:27):

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Okay, all right, but you've been see this is one
of the saying maybe this is how sea bass feels

like I feel like that's just one of those things
that you just yeah the culture because it's the term
that you use.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
It's not like you explain a transmission to me. It
is a normal name you call. Well yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
And also let me let me go to the obvious.
So you're out there, you're interviewing drunk people, many of
them women. Have you ever gotten laid out there doing this?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
This is very recurring question. It would be very unethical of.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Talking to drunk people in ethics.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
You know, I had I did do it once. But
that was literally when I lived in the parking lot
of a strip club. So it was like I had
a I was twenty feet that way and she was like, hey,
can I see your gross RV. So it happened once
and it was her idea.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
And she so she saw the gross Rv'm a guy
living in the parking lot of a strip club. And
she still dropped trout. She said, I got to say,
still did.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
And also let me.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Say classify, I say sex. It could be a handy
in the car. It didn't have to be full on,
pants off type of deal.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You know, ladies are looking for that sort of like
a hand job would count for you, that would count
as sex. Yes, absolute, you have been married a long time.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Which, by the way, it's different these days.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
I went to dinner or lunch with Woody and his wife.

Do you miss doing this.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 6 (00:37):
Yeah, uh huh. This is like a rocket shit. And
you I came in. You guys are recording this and
recording that, and I have asked Sammy.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
It took her thirty seconds.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
They explained to me that five am is five am. Yeah,
so listen, I appreciate you inviting me. I'm looking forward
to it.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Mark sen with us all morning, and uh you know,
so here's the thing. This is how we know Mark.
Mark is a legend. Okay, he will tell you that himself.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Oh he'll be.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
He'll be the first time. He's all right, be nice
to the guest. Okay, So Mark and Brian huge successful
radio show, syndicated but dominated Los Angeles for damn near
thirty years on Koos and Menace and Greg and I
we didn't grow up listening to because we weren't from
(01:25):
the area, but I still knew about it, right, that's
so anyway, so big. They're radio Hall of Famers, something
we will never achieve ever in a billion years. However,
they're in the radio Hall of Fame. But Gina worked
with Mark.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, I'm repping the merch today.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So after Mark and Brian, after twenty seven twenty eight
something like that year's twenty seven, twenty seven years, he
went to go do his own thing and hired Gina.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And then way before that, when it was still Mark
and Brian, a very young Sammy Marino like a phone
screener for your show, and yeah, I'm not sure, yeah,
so long ago.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah, and then I met her, but I didn't know her.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And then Mark wrote a book and I heard about
this book from another radio friend of mine in Houston.
He's like, dude, you got to read this book. I go, huh,
And so I downloaded the audiobook. I listened to the
whole thing. I'm like, man, I got to reach out
to I was only like maybe a quarter the way
through it already, I'm like, this is so good, and
I wanted to reach out to him, so I hit
up Sammy because I knew that he that she knew him.
And so then Mark and I started talking, and I
(02:32):
think we've become great friends.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
We have.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I've enjoyed our times together. And it wasn't too long
until we began talking that I realized I am incredibly
stupid and I don't know what he's saying. No, I'm
not kidding. You are so far a hit. Look, I
would go into the radio station, flip on the mic
and tell a few jokes and hope that some of
them landed. You were talking about rocket ship crap and
(02:56):
I didn't quite understand, but.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, it's it's quite the production and you know with
how we have to, you know, do the show and
how things get put together and.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Absolutely and it's it. It is just an amazing swirl
for me. Like I came in this morning and I
was watching and listening to what you were doing, and
it's pretty confusing to an old guy, but I really
enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, I love that watch. And Mark's been a great
mentor you have, you've been a really great mentor. That's
someone who's done what I've been doing now. But for
you know, twenty plus years just in one place. Overall,
how long were you in radio, like for like total
of what one hundred years?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Fifty five fifty six.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Yeah, I got it at sixteen when I was seventy
in nineteen seventy three, and it and I heard this
is for old radio dogs. But I heard a box
of air checks at sixteen, because you know, you get
a job at a radio station and you're there all
the time because you can be ye, well, they can't
kick me out, they let you, right, And I heard
(03:55):
this box of air checks, and those guys they sounded
so good.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I wanted to be that.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, will send in these air check these demos to
radio station trying to get jobs. And so basically it's
just like a it's a it's a it's a little
clips from whatever they were doing on their like an
audition tape, right exactly. So Yeah, you listen to the
he's like, well.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
And I wanted to be that.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
And I realized I was never going to make it
by staying in my hometown. I left climbed the ladder
job to job. It was the greatest adventure. And it's
true what they say. It is not the destination, it's
the journey. I had the best time. And if a
genie came down and said, I'll let you do it again.
But the key is I can't change anything, and I said.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Rocket, let's go.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So I mean in the book is fantastic. It's called
don't drop the Dump, Don't bump the record, kid, and
you can find it online in the audiobook. And I
always anybody who's known for doing any kind of like
audio media, so like whether it's a broadcaster or a podcaster,
someone who's a public speaker, I'd much rather hear their
(04:56):
book than read it, even if you know, because you
it's in your voice, and the stories are great, the
celebrity stuff, some wild stuff like you gotta check it
out even if you have no real interest in radio.
It's just the whole. Like you said, that journey it was.
It was a really really well done book. And you'll
like this Greg. It goes to charity. So it wasn't
(05:17):
like a big money it's not a money making thing
for you.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Well that's what I claimed.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Yeah, yeah, a percent.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
I met Alice in Eastwood. I am a massive animal lover,
dog and cats, all of them actually, but the ones
I've lived in the house won't leave, and so I
wanted to help. She had she was building a rescue center,
a place where dogs and cats are pulled from kill shelters,
and that could go in there. I wrote her a check,
gave her the entire thing, all of it. We're still
(05:47):
My wife comes to me because she keeps track of it.
She goes, you made seventeen bucks last week, and so
the thing is still shrickling along.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, I've told a billion people about it, so well,
you're kind probably responsible for at least six Well, that's
seventeen dollars.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I have to tell you.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
When I started out, I had never written a book,
didn't know how to write a book, and I thought,
maybe I should buy a book that teaches me how
to read or write a book.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
And I thought that's stupid. Yeah, I just started writing.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Who would do that?
Speaker 6 (06:14):
But I will say I had an idea of where
I wanted it to go. But when you start a
long process like writing a book, it takes you down
different paths you didn't expect to go. And while I
was in the middle of that, I thought, I did
write this, But I thought, if I just keep writing
and I look at it later, I don't like it,
just take it out. So the process was, Oh, and
(06:35):
be aware. Seriously, when you open up the doors of
your memories, when they're joyous memories, it's fantastic because you
live in these rooms, your memories for weeks at a
time as you write these stories, and the bad ones,
those those come out to dude, it's like therapy. I
woke stuff up that was thirty forty years old and
(06:55):
I couldn't sleep. That crap is still in there, still
frickin hurts, So be careful. It's weird how how vivid.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
It is easier once you get going, because I imagine
writing the first sentence would take a year.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
You know.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I decided to go chronologically, start at the beginning of
the Mark and Brian thing, take it to the end.
That was the concept, and that's what I tried to do.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
My joy.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
The fun that I learned of writing is rewriting, getting
that first draft out, getting it all back because I
can't type, and I actually type this. I didn't do
a ghostwriter.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
He hunted and packed. Yeah, little typewriter, and so.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
You can go back when you're rewriting. You can take
a chunk out, you could rewrite a chunk. You could
rewrite that. That was the part I love the most because.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Other people can do it for you too. You can
get like a ghost writer. But you're a writer. He's
written movies, screenplays, Yeah, you know, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I'm self named a writer, but I do enjoy the processes.
Problem with it, and the other problem is that I
don't know when to stop the rewrite.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
You keep redoing it and redoing it.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That's my problem a lot of times.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yeah, yeah, and I struggle with that. But you're kind
to say those words. It's a great book. It was
thoroughly enjoyable and I'm very proud of it. Yeah, and
you should check it out. And it all goes to Dugans.
The money, everything goes right to the Dugans. So yeah,
don't bump the record kid Mark Thompson. Wow, So just
to go online and check it out again, I recommend
(08:29):
you download the audiobook. For a guy who made a
very nice living sitting and telling stories and you know,
being able to communicate through an audio meetium with others professionally,
that's the way to do it. My least favorite part
of that was the redos on the audio book because
they'll sometimes be a glitch. You've got a book that's
ten twelve hours, so there's glitches, and you go back
(08:52):
here with the producer and he says, Okay, here's all
the glitches. And there were thirty of them on that day,
so he has to play a clip of the line
that the glitch is in so that you can get
the energy election and.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
I don't want to do this anymore.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's fun.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, Well, we're gonna hopefully learn a lot from Mark
about how to be a better show and how to eventually,
you know, make some kind of make some kind of
real impacts.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, we're doing okay, but I mean, you know, it
can always be better. Yeah, I mean, you know radio
Hall of Fame. Yeah, please, that's a there's some people
that there's guys I know that are in radio. They

I never even.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Heard of you.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Meanwhile, we can't get the Employee of the Month award
at our own radio station.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
When we got our star on the Walk of fame.
I got to You get to choose where it goes,
and they give you this this map of stuff that's available.
I could have gone really kind of anywhere that that
I wanted to go with it. But there was a
spot in front of the Hollywood Wax Museum, which.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Is worse wax music.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I saw Jack Nicholson and it looked like Ann Margaret
after this thing, so I said.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
We need to be right there. Yeah, yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Well, Mark Thompson's here, he's hanging out with us this morning.
As you know, we got the d u i Q
coming up next. I think you'll enjoy that. Phones are
open if you want to play eight seven seven forty
four what he as? You know, we need one contest
and we've got Sea Bass with the drunks on the
street answer the trivia questions. You have to try to
guess if the drunk will get the question right yes
or no. And then we take some fun guesses with
(10:30):
Sammy and Menace and see if they'll know it.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
What do I get to play? So of course they
just calmed down.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Dude, you are one of us today. You got to
slum it with us.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Dude, Woodie, I got to tell you to be back
at a live radio station. I vibe on this crap
and to be in here. Everything's kind of weird, wacky
and new, but I'm sure digging it. I've got coffee now,
Sammy's sitting next to me. Which one of those are
going to change? I've had so many treats I didn't
even te I'm.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Gonna double now.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
This is a show, all right, Welcome back everybody. What
our guest here is to do this morning is Mark Thompson,
formerly of the Mark and Brian radio Show, friend of
the Woody Show, and now a podcaster. Where do people
find your podcast?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Uh, it's everywhere that podcasts are somebody saying that.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
No, it's it's Uh, it's me yep, and I do
one a week.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
It's primarily guests when I can find one that's worth
listening to. But it's a lot of fun and for
quality and jokes and crap that I love doing. So
I took whatever it was I used to do and
I do it on that.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Once a week.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
And what do we call that?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Asking? Thank you?
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Surprising Sammy, you didn't bring that up.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
It is called what you do and when you do Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
It's I talk to people you know honestly, and I
think all of you in the room know this. Seletelebrities
for the most part are boring. They are, but we
don't do we don't do a lot of guests. Well,
they come in. The celebrities, they come in, they promote
their movie and they have nothing else to say that.
I talk to people that do interesting things. Oh, Gina,
you're gonna love this. I got a guy coming up.
(12:16):
His business is he goes in after murder into Okay,
you've already calmed down, I'm not finished.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
This is gonna blow your head off.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
This guy's company they go in their bread and butter
is they clean up after a suicide. But get this,
their their their side gig that they're just starting is
they go in and sort out homes of hoarders. So
(12:48):
that's that's what I talked to. I talk to people
that do like that.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
That's so much better than celebrities.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And and so it's that, it's and
it is hard to find. Like I talked to one guy,
I learned how to separate because I used to do
the entire show that I would go to the interview,
but if the interview sucks, I can't use the rest
of the show, so I started doing the recording separately.
I talked to one guy. I was on with him
for a frickin' hour. He could not answer a question,
(13:18):
what do you mean? I mean, I could say, say
ABC to me, he's incapable of doing it.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, we've met people. I know you're talking about that.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
We've met people like that.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
I was sitting there doing the interview and I kept
thinking this was deep into it, and I realized, I'm
talking to an insane man. Maybe I can edit this together.
And then I realized whatever stories he did get to,
we're worth hearing.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
So I just had to.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Bail on the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So it's called What You Do. It's available wherever you
find podcasts. Mark Thompson's podcast. I want to hear that.
I want to have them together, clean.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Up guy questions.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, and then the hoard the hoarding stuff.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
And this has always been a dream of mine, is
to talk to you. And you might think this is stupid.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
A hand bottel, how do you get it? Do you audition?
Speaker 8 (14:06):
How do you get the job? It would be exactly,
wouldn't that be interesting?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
These are the kind of how they're insured for like
a million dollars.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Yeah, these are the kind of people. And I'd also
talked to a guy who lives in London, Christopher Tester.
At the time I talked to him, he was a
budding voiceover artist. He just won this year Voiceover Artist
of the Year and it's pretty amazing to listen to
him and watch him do what he does. I found
him amazing. But that's what the show's about. But primarily
(14:35):
most of it is me screwing around having a good
time exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, but you do it on your own terms now,
which is great. That's the dream.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
And once a week all will.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
His gentlemen, boys and girls, Friday morning time for Today's
dumb Ass Contest.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
And today's dumb Ass Contest is.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The du.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You know you need to play along with this mark.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
We're just trying to guess if this drunk person that
sea bass here to your right has talked to you, well,
they know the answers to the super easy tribute questions.
And if the person on the phone who's are contestant
and can get it two out of three times correctly,
they will be the winner.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
They'll get a prize.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
We're just doing it for fun. Guess he with Sammy
and menace if they will get an answer or not?
Speaker 7 (15:21):
All right, now, let me ask where do you find
these drunk people?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Oh, typically in tourist spots, so I think Las Vegas Boulevard,
Bourbon Street, Broadway, Sixth Street, the Big, the Big, open your.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Drunk markets, sometimes music festivals.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
And sometimes it's just at the backstage at a WOODEP show party.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Sometimes it's one of us.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Yeah, I wouldn't imagine.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
This is hard, but you've got to get them to
give permission to do it they're drunk.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Is that a tough pull?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Number one?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Number two, I thought you're a professional. When you're speaking
into a microphone and a man has asked you if
you would like to do a contest for the radio,
where you asked certain trivia questions, that's implied consent.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
And also when they're on the street, because there's no
there's no expectation of privacy.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
How dare you look out for the contestants.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Let's yeah, yeah, let's go to the phones and get
our contestantcy how to James?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Hey, James, what's that man?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Good?
Speaker 7 (16:14):
He shows?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Good morning all right, So we're playing with the duy q.
Now before we get to the questions that count towards
you win in a prize or not, we're gonna hear
this drunk and we're gonna kind of get an idea
just how with it or not with they are? And
who is this seaball?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
This is Kira and she was pounding in an open
bottle of liquor, which is only legal in a few cities,
not in Nashville like where I talked to Kira, And
she's gonna tell us how she's doing that, why she's
doing it, and what the consequences of that are.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
All right, right now, drink and holiday.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So you in one hand, you've got a bottle Jose Quaird,
who's on the other hand.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Palsy from Taco bell with a little ice?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh you the cops hassling you would all know you're
drinking straight to quila and chasing you with colon on
a public street.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
No, can't think that is I'm just here for a
good time.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Not a lot of time. That's a good legal defense.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Scale wanted to how drunk would you say you are
right now?
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Well, I'm not blacked out, so I'm a a.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Do you recall the last time.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
You've blocked out.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
No, my definition, I guess, I guess whatever you say
just sound totally out of it.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
That classic combo cuervo and yeah, yeah, sure, Well it
depends on the questions are I mean I typically my
my my go to, especially before they show us anything, Mark,
is to say no, they're not going to know it.
That's typically my strategy.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
We do get surprised, yeah, sometimes.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
But this gal ain't grab it much.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
And I do love drunk people because they just have
to do I have to talk louder.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, because just in case you can't hear. All right,
So James, are you ready for question number one?
Speaker 5 (17:47):

It's not like you explain a transmission to me. It
is a normal name you call. Well yeah, yeah, all right.

So you're out there, you're interviewing drunk people, many of
them women. Have you ever gotten laid out there doing this?

This is very recurring question. It would be very unethical of.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Talking to drunk people in ethics.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
You know, I had I did do it once. But
that was literally when I lived in the parking lot
of a strip club. So it was like I had

and it was her idea.

living in the parking lot of a strip club. And
she still dropped trout. She said, I got to say,
still did.

a hand job would count for you, that would count
as sex. Yes, absolute, you have been married a long time.
