In the 1950s, caller Joy’s dad painted the ceiling of her bedroom navy blue, covered it in glowing stars, and gifted her a telescope! Thousands flock to Downey for the annual masa pilgrimage at the Amapola Market! Another listener recalls his favorite gift as a kid, a BB gun. However, he accidentally shot a bird and felt so bad, to this day he has never picked up a gun, BB or otherwise. Meanwhile Andy and Rahner talk traumatic haircuts from their past and being dumped by their barber! Andy plays listener talkbacks from people who recall their favorite Christmas gifts when they were kids. One caller said we mustn’t encourage greed, which Rahner refers to as toy shaming. Media was so much cooler back in the midcentury. In 1996, what was the hottest Christmas gift? Of course it was Tickle Me Elmo! Others that followed include Buzz Lightyear, Tamagotchi, Furbies, Beanie Babies and Bratz Dolls. And now we have the Labubu. Andy rounds out the show by chatting with a GI Joe collector.

Now to Joy, who's calling from Costa Mesa, who's been
waiting so patiently to be on the show. Here we're
discussing holiday gifts, and specifically gifts that we remember back
from when we were kids that we liked just as
much as Ralphie and the Christmas Story liked the Red
Rider bb gun.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Joy, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Thank you for taking my call. Cool this happened in
the mid nineteen fifties. My dad painted with the ceiling
of my bedroom navy blue, and he bought a whole
bunch of these stick on go in the Dark planets
and stars and put them all over the ceiling, just
like you would be looking at the night sky. And
(00:45):
my gift was also a beautiful little telescope, Oh I
could use outside.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
How old were you at the time.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I was about eleven?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, great, Wow, that is so wonderful. And so was
it a surprise to you that the ceiling had been painted.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, they did this when I was at school, So
I didn't you know?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That's so great? And then did you? Like were you?

ten years.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Oh? Yeah, I still like looking at the stars. I
went to college. I went to USC when it was
twenty five dollars a year. I don't think I can
buy a book for that to.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, you cannot. No, you can't even park there for
an hour for twenty five dollars. Seriously, I mean it's
I don't know, it's probably expensive, you know, definitely.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
What'd you study at USC?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I got an MBA amazing?

like for you this year?
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Well?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I just go up to a local restaurant for all
my holidays and I know the workers there, so they're
my makeshift family.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I love that. Do you want to shout out the restaurant?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Am I allowed to do so?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
We'd love to hear about about a good local restaurant Norms. Yeah,
of course we love Norms.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I love the other one I go to's called pancakes

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Oh my goodness, do they have pancakes there?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Oh, some of the best, and five different kinds of pancakes,
five different recipes.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So did you did you end up in Coasta Mesa? Later?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Did you grow up in Orange County as well?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I grew up pretty half of it in Whittier and
half of it here in coast to Mesa.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, there you go Whittier where the girls are prettier.
That's what they say.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Well, thank you so much for calling.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's a great a great story, and and happy holidays
and Merry Christmas to you. Thanks so much for waiting
to take your call there. I think those kinds of
things that your parents do are just things that stick
with you, obviously for your your whole.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Life, especially when they put so much thought and time
and hard labor into setting everything up.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You know, It's so true.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Back in the day, you couldn't just go on Amazon
and order yourself a telescope and some stars and some paint.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Right, you really had.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Both of both of my parents were school teachers.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
So they made sure ervy toy I got was educational.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, that's wonderful. Well, joy, thank you so much. That's real.
They're bringing the joy. Mister Ronner.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That's oh, thank you so much. Please call any time.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
We'd love to hear from Thank you very much, Christmas.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Merry Christmas to you. I don't think Joy got a
lot of toy guns. No, Joy, Joy didn't was. Joy
was above all that, can't you tell? Do you want
to hear about the dangerous one?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Now? Yeah, of course. Okay.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
This was the thing that came out in the mid
seventies and it was kind of a sled, kind of
a little personal luge. It was called the Mini Bob sled,
and basically it was just a seat with a really big, long,
honestly obscene looking handle. And if you look up Mini
Bob Sled you'll see what I'm talking about. This is
a handle that would give Ron Jeremy inferiority complex. But
(04:26):
kids had these and they were just the most dangerous
thing imaginable.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
I grew up near a golf course and there were
always hills, and people would make jumps at the end
of hills. I had at least one friend who lost
teeth on the Mini Bob. That's how dangerous these things
were because they just went like a bat out of
hell too. It wasn't a normal sled, you got. This
is like something that would with Calvin and Hobbes would
find too dangerous.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, this looks really insane. This looks like something that,
like I feel that probably got banned by the government
at some point for so many different reasons.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
I believe they're still being made and and sold. But
you know, caveat in Germany, dental emptor right exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
These things just insane.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
But they were easy to carry, they were lightweight, and
so you know, you had to do a cost benefit
analysis and if you're a kid, you know sure. So
the most dangerous thing ever ever marketed to children Mini Bob.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It is something that was invented in Austria in the
nineteen seventies.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Of course it figures, of course it was because it
goes Makschnell. Oh, yeah, there you go. They call it
Zip for Bob, Zip Free Bob. It's a small, sturdy,
plastic sled invented in Austria. And you're right, brother, that
is a that is an almost an obscene thing. To
look at it at work on a work computer, I
(05:46):
would say that shades of John Dillinger. I've said too
much already. But these days I wouldn't even get on
one of those things on a bet. I mean, these
put you in the air. You've got some amplitude off
of these things, but also you didn't know how you
were going to land.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
It looks like something that we used in New Zealand
for what hanging out in the snow?
Speaker 9 (06:06):
We go down those as when I was a kid
in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Was that before eleven Ze's or afterwards?
Speaker 7 (06:13):
You know, I've.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
Actually been to Hobbiton and Mordorf and for.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
All life, I'm sure there's not a lot else to
do in New Zealand, but go to those places.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I mean, it's beautiful.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
New Zealand's great for extreme sports like this thing.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Like this thing, this is the recollection of using when
I was like seven years old.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
These days, giving a child a min mini bob would
be child abuse. You'd be reported to CPS.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I don't even want that thing in the house, not
even close. Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
By the way, it is, of course masa time here
in southern California, people making a pilgrimage down to Downey
because the Amapola Market is where a lot of the
the the devotees like to go. You can get MASA anywhere,
(06:59):
but they're doing it right down there in Downy, as
evidenced by the hours long markets lines where people were
lining up at as early as five thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
That's early.
Speaker 10 (07:13):
This is the moment they wait for all morning long.
They wait in line for the mass and you could
see they really stock up. I mean they have to
wait in line for sometimes hours, so it makes sense.
A lot of them feeding their families, giving it as presents,
making tamalay's.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
This is a holiday tradition.
Speaker 10 (07:28):
For so many.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I want to kind of take you through.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
The store a little bit because it's chaos.
Speaker 9 (07:32):
This is their super Bowl and we.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Want to show you them.
Speaker 9 (07:35):
Look at this little one. She's precious.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I just love. This is so national geographic POV.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
This is their super Bowl and we want to show
you them.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Look at the chaos. It's like she's like, give me.
Speaker 11 (07:49):
The mas set.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
So you could see they let in groups.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
I guess, yeah, they let them in groups. Basically they
all get a number and basically they come through here.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It wraps all all the way around.
Speaker 9 (08:00):
But also that's not all.
Speaker 10 (08:02):
They're also waiting to check out the lines at the
checkout are going into the aisles. But you can see
a lot of smiles on these people's faces. They say
they've been through this every single year. They know what
they're getting themselves into, and they are prepared to waiting.
Speaker 9 (08:15):
Say it is.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
It's waiting in line for masa. Masa of course, the
primary ingredient in the malis. You can also make choporado
out of masa.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I think.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
Worth it, and the owner he expects this too. He
says they have three locations, but this year specifically, he says,
the demand has been record breaking, so that's huge for
their business, huge for the community. Also, you guys might
have missed it, but he said they're not raising prices
for a third year. So if you're worried about paying
a little bit more, just like we are for pretty
(08:51):
much everything else right now, that is not the case here.
He really wants to make it affordable. There's our security guard, Aaron.
He's going to get in line. We've had seven roll
Tomali's this morning. I'm full. I think the.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
Whole crew is full.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
When I first moved to La I obviously had never
had I barely had eaten a taco grown up in Indiana,
I think we had We had one sushi restaurant in
Indianapolis when I left.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
Now it's a little more cosmopolitan. Oh, Indiana was slow
to get sushi.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, slow to get sushi. And it was a weird thing, like,
oh you eat raw fish, freaky weird ew. And that
was when we were in our thirties. But now, I mean,
I love it and I think now they've got really
good stuff. But even I didn't know Korean food existed
at all. I mean, I was really dumb. It was
very ignorant. Indiana was slow to get espresso. They were
(09:40):
kind of behind the curve on anything having to do
with food. They still pronounced it expresso. So you know,
we're not doing super great. But no, they're doing They're
doing well. But Masa is unreal. And the experience of
my first girlfriend in La was Mexican is Mexican. We're
not together anymore, but we were and I got to
go to her family for Christmas, and it was my
(10:02):
first experience with like a real Mexican Christmas, with the masa,
with the tamales, with the chumparado, with all of it,
and much of her family didn't speak English, and I
thought that was real fun and they're very very kind
to me and very nice. Her grandma gave me a
bottle of manichevins.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
That's how they are. Man.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I was like, awesome, great, heck yes, and uh, that
was a really wonderful experience. But I just was like,
by the time I went home, I had had like
forty tamalies. It felt like I was like I could
never look at Masa again and I'd be okay, but
you know, you always say that, and then now I
have a hanger and forum coming up in the next
next couple of days.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
So very good stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
We've got Mike on the line. Thanks for waiting, Mike,
appreciate you calling here. You were on KFI.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Oh yeah, Rich, I have a problem my computer. I
can don't anything.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
That is a great joke.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
That's the best. That is the best joke I've ever heard.
It's so funny.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Did I do it?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Do you know yesterday? Did I tell you this story?
I think I told her in the story and the
show yesterday. I was at Smokehouse on Friday night and
somebody thought I was Rich Tomuro, but I didn't realize
it until like thirty seconds into the conversation when she
introduced me to her friend as Rich, and I had
a very I had to very carefully be like, no,
I'm not rich to Buro, but I do work with
him and I am on the show with him. And
(11:32):
she was like, she was like upset like that. It
was like stolen valor, like I had taken Rich's identity
or something.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
But anyway, don't I don't see this anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, you know, it happens enough that apparently it is
a thing. But go ahead. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Funny joke you are, you know, on April, fool of
you guys are to switch places.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
It's a great idea. I got to get a haircut first, though,
and then maybe get hit.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
But when I was ten years old, I actually had
a bb gun. My brother and I we trade our
older cousin some weight a weight stet for a bab gun. Right,
and that was my backyard, and these little birds would
fly and stop on top of the fence, right, And
(12:22):
so I was back there like the Vietnam and stuff,
and like a sniper hiding behind the trees, and I
was just waiting for my shot. Now I had a thing.
He said, you had to pump the thing up, you know,
like a lot, and it'll be bees. They were only
good for like five feet right then they went anywhere,
you know, and I tried to shoot the bird, you know,
(12:46):
I mean probably a hundred times, and I finally one day, boom,
I hit him and he fell and behind our house
was We didn't have an alley, so it was a
neighbor house.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
You know.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
I never I never looked for the bird, but I
felt so bad. Yeah to this, to this, I'm sixty six,
To this day, I have never owned, bought a gun,
shot a gun. To this day, you know, I was
gonna buy one of those plastic guns like Tim Conway
Junior had on his show. He had the owner on
(13:22):
his show. Oh yeah, yeah, I forget the name of it,
buying them or Binham or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was gonna buy one of those. Yeah, I was gonna.
I was gonna pull the trigger and buy one.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
But I didn't burna is that what it's called, burma?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, burma.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Yeah, Yeah, I was gonna get one of those. But
to this day, I felt and I remember, I felt
so bad. You know what I've never made the connection,
be because I've seen that movie one hundred thousand times,
but I've never made the connection from when I was
ten years old. I guess because he wasn't trying to
shoot anything, you know, but.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No, yeah, and then he you know, he did end
up learning a lesson, uh, because it ricocheted off of
the little metal piece sign that he shot, and then
you know, broke his glasses. But that is a crazy story.
And it's amazing that those kinds of things, you know,
are so impressed. We are so impression. It makes such
a big impression on us as a kid, and then
it sticks with us for the for the rest of
our lives, for forever.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Man, that's a long yeah, that's a long time. Fifty
six years. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Well, I'm glad you called and atoned here for the
for the bird murder so many years later. I know
the feeling though, of I mean, not the exact specific thing,
but when you're trying to do something and then you
do it, you're like.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Oh no, no, no, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. Yeah,
that's funny.
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Man.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
I I felt so bad right now. I just I
just I kind of go up myself.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh well, I'll tell you what we're going to do
some more fun stories here, and then I hope you
feel better going into George Norrie. And I'm sure he's
gonna have some good stuff for you tonight as well,
so I don't feel too better. Yeah, thank you so much.
I appreciate you for and thanks for the jokes and
thanks for the I think you know we leave on
the high note talking about Richard Miro and how when
people get us confused, and I think that's a great
(15:07):
that's a great inside joke.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So Mike, thank you so much for.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Getting you're getting kind of weird though, because I think
you said several stories about that so long.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, it's really it's really odd how how often it happens.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
And that's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But you know what, I understand, and I feel better
about it for me because I think he's better looking
that I I feel bad for him.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And if people think that he's he's me.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
But well, yeah, maybe in person, you maybe you might
look different than you do on TV. I've never seen
you in person.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
That's true, but I don't see that.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
I don't see that. I don't see the similarity.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You know, I think we sit in the same seat,
which might be it. And we also talk a lot
about the same stuff. You know, we're also talking about
the Internet and things that are happening in the world.
I do more trending stuff. He does obviously the tech thing.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Uh. And we both have shows on kf I, so
maybe that's that's also part of it.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And you've never seen us in the same room and
we have the same wife and kids. So well, Mike,
thank you so much for calling. Well, we'll talk to
you Stan brother, have a great night. There he goes,
look at that, mister Ronner. Yes, mister Reesemeyer, care to
(16:18):
add anything? You need a haircut?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Are you doing haircuts? Do you want that? Can I
tell you?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (16:27):
I mean, I don't know you got a flowbee twenty minutes? No, no,
But I can give you a nice buzz. Yeah, let's
do it.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I'm always trying to rock with a nice buzz. The
thing is that I have texted my guy who cuts
my hair, and he's ghosting me right now.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Well, listen, I just went through this whole thing of
breaking up with a longtime barber and finding another one.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You did. People don't understand how serious this is.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
What would ever compel you? It must have been really bad. Well, yeah,
because it was like Russian roulette. It's like you cry
going to the dentist. I cried going to the barber
because I didn't know what he was going to do
about One in every three was terrific, but the others
were just like horror prank haircuts.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You know, if we were going by baseball batting averages
like that would have been pretty good. It's like a
point thirty three, right, this isn't baseball, this is there.
There's no crying in hair as well. I will tell
you the story before before I hit it off to you.
When I was a kid, I shaved my head because
I was trying to cut my hair because I had
what i'd got a bad haircut, and I was trying
to fix it myself. And I took a big old
(17:29):
chunk out of it, and I thought, no, this is terrible,
so i'll fix it now.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I'll shave my entire head.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
And I did, and I only got like halfway through, because,
as you know, if you have hair that's longer than
any little bit of a buzz, you can't just take
a straight you know, like a big razor that you
would use on your on your face, to your hair,
to your head. So that was horrifying. I ended up
doing a little patch over on the side of my head.
My mom came home and basically had like a meltdown
(17:57):
because I looked like an insane person. And then they
took me in the next day to uh uh a
barber shop down the street called It's Always Time for
a Haircut in Indianapolis, and it was staffed by former
ex cons. Well, I guess they're they're ex cons, they're
former formerly incarcerated.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
That inspires confidence. Well, it was cheap, which my family like.
That was first first foremost.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Secondly they had dealt with They were like there to
like instill the fear and wayward youth.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So it was like scared straight, but at the barbers
it's exactly what I like. And then they shaved my head.
And then like Natalie Portman and and uh that movie
where were you openly crying?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yes, crying for sure? And then I got a I
was like, well, what am we going to do now?
So I went to CVS and I bought a wig.
It's like fifth grade and I go to school and
I'm like wearing a wig and people are like, what
is the what is happening here?
Speaker 8 (18:56):
And then I take the wig off and they're like
Breesemeyer's bald. I think the one you're wearing right now
looks pretty good. It's it's convention. Yeah, this is a
pretty good one.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
I had a mullet growing up.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That tracks for me for sure.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
That is mean because my hair is so curly.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You should have one now.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
I look like a Jerry Co when I have a mullet.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I can see that.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Yeah, it's no good.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well, but your share impression is still it's impeccable.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
That's just my natural.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
We were doing a game last night on my show
on Sunday where it was a hit the post game,
you know what I'm talking about, where like on FM
radio where they start a song that has a long
intro in it and the DJ does some kind of
like is he.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Out a nine point vibes Miley in the morning.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
We're giving away take us to see Rob Dabas at
the see him this weekend.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
It'll be the first number of the call two nine.
Speaker 2 (19:54):

be like start to dead.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I wish you.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
So that was a whole thing during the nineties radio.
Now songs start immediately. They don't have intros anymore. But
hitting the post was something that, like I thought, was well,
the coolest thing. And I don't have time tonight, but
I'm thinking in the same way that we sort of
did a game last week, when I'm back sometime in
the future, it'd be fun, with your permission, to see
(20:21):
how well you guys can hit the post. Mark Ronner
and Nikki and Fush. I don't know if I could
do that. I know you could do it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Ronner would probably be the best. You think you think
ronnod be better than you. Oh yeah, wow, so humble.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
Maybe i'd be good.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Nah No, she'd get too excited.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
You can talk and I talk too much.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Back in the day, though, it was like there were
these songs like a Freebird, right, there's like a thirty
five second.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Intro on that.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
That's where you really earn that separates the boys from
the men in the radio and the FM radio dial.
That's the difference between Andy Reesemeyer and Shotgun Tom Kelly.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
I could do what Shotgun Tom does. I was impressed
with him, and it's his whole pattern.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
What's interesting is like he's one of those people who,
as you said, we've been talking about him, you know,
man god since he left, well of course, Uh, his
persona and the and the the power of that voice
just gets your hype, gets you ready, gets you going.
It's like John Tesh playing the d There's not any
(21:25):
way you can hear that guy and be like, I'm
so impressed.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
You can't not say I'm so impressed, I'm so ready.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I did ask him if he was related to Machine
Gun Kelly, and his response was google me.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
That's great, that's great. All right, Uh talk back number
one here, let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Jed Joe Steph. That was my red writer be beginning.
If it was something having to do with j I Joe,
I wanted it.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
I had to have it.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah that's huge, Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
The the Curse of the Stolen Idol, the the mobile
support vehicle.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Those are good toys, a whole.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Suite of those things, and those I bet you there
are very few toys that have been destroyed as heinously,
as as g I Joe's.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
And keep g I Joe away from Barbie while you're
at it. No, you don't. You don't like to mix.
My grandmother did not appreciate the hijinks. I don't. I
don't really want to.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
Aby's well, there were there were toys in the house
because it was the same house my mother grew up in,
and they were just there.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Don't accuse me of playing with dolls.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Listen, except for g I Joe brother, this is a
this is a wide open world, safe space.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
You played with Bobby's.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Good thing. There's a there's a wall between the two
of you. I gotta have to turn this, turn this
show around.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
When somebody with her accent says Barbie, I just assume
it means shrimp.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
It's so funny.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
We don't call them shrimps? Should I say Barbie?
Speaker 6 (22:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I think Bobby is pretty funny. Is that how I guess? Technically?
Speaker 9 (23:04):
Okay, awtful do job?
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I don't know what I.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Am. I bra it?
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Oh youny Governor Shaw your shoes for a father?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Oh well, lucuo is if it easy? Nikki?
Speaker 9 (23:18):
Well easy? Do you get on to Brixton?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Oh my god, it is nine forty five for sure.
Two days before Christmas another talk back.
Speaker 11 (23:27):
Let's listen, Andy, I wanted to contribute to your Christmas question,
but I didn't think I could get through it without crying. No,
my father passed away when I was little. My mom
did an excellent job raising us, but finances were tough,
and we would always just get one gift, and when
we'd get back to school, people would always ask what
(23:48):
else did you get?
Speaker 9 (23:49):
What did you get?
Speaker 11 (23:50):
What else did you get? So I think it's nice
to not ask those questions and not encourage greed.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
That's a good point. Oh, you're toy shaming. That's what
you've been doing to well.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I mean I.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Like to look at it as you know, the memory
part of it, in the nostalgia part of it, and
I understand that that holidays are tough in a lot
of ways for a lot of people, and it's not
this just like it's like the most wonderful time of
the year. And also all of the issues with your
family are still there. And I remember it being very
(24:24):
very obvious to me when my dad died and I thought,
oh my god, Christmas is never going to be the same,
and it is really different. And it was especially the
first couple of years really hard because my dad loved
Christmas and he was like the embodiment of Christmas. The
man had a Christmas vest pant combo that he would
(24:45):
wear every year, which was like this like silk print thing.
It was very cool. He was just really fun really funny,
And so I totally get it, and I have a
lot of empathy for how that feels when it's everything
around you is to be consumption and greed and buy
and do this and go through the motions and do
all these things and celebrate and be happy.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
No, no, I get that.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
And I always feel sorry for other kids who didn't
get toys because I didn't. I mentioned that I grew
up with my grandparents and they would give me things
that they thought were cool during the depression when they
were growing up growing up, like an orange or a
handful of pencils.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Buddy, Uh yeah, i'll stick a neck away for us season.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Here's a potato in your sock.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
So and you know, I mentioned the neighbor kids got
all the cool stuff while I was getting all this
like subsistence level of things that weren't remotely any fun.
So I always feel terrible for kids who don't get
cool toys.
Speaker 9 (25:42):
Well you I got not much at all being a.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Jew, well you have a different thing.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
We don't get eight days of gifts. That's a lie.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Not according to that song by Adam Adam Sandler.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
I know, but we no one really gets it.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
And even if you do, it's like little things like
they'll pop the dradel.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Oh, you know, dradles are fun. That's technically a toy.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
For a second, and okay, that's done. It's really not true.
We got nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Well, I'm glad we were able to turn over a
new leaf and positivity and happiness here.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
We really started a contest no one can win.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, we're like we're raced to the bottom of who
could be the saddest. I'm talking about my dad. You
guys are talking about getting nothing for Christmas. That's all right,
we're all here together enjoying it. We got another block.
On the other side of this quick break.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Checking in with George Nori.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
See what's coming up on the Big Coast to Coast
show this evening.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
How you doing, George, We're going one on the show tonight.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
My friend We're gonna talk about the Twilight Zone and
some of the great episodes, and then later on Ghosts
of the Holidays Coast to Coach.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
What a wonderful night. Thank you, George. We will be
listening for sure. Cannot wait.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Ye love that.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
See see you later, bou him George Norri, there he goes.
I love a Ghosts episode of Coast to Ghost twilight
Zone that as well. Why does George never have me
talk about Twilight Zone? I wrote twilight Zone comics, George,
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
What's what's going on?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
George?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Do we have just he just jumped off the line there.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
I always love listening to Twilight Zone stuff though, and
when they have the marathons on, Oh my god, those
are so good.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
The rods, the voice, it's like the sounds of the
media back then was so cool.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
It's just like the way that everybody talked, the music,
the choices, the spartan, theirs space.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
He had such a distinctive way of talking, and I
just I loved his sensibilities and I apply them to
things going on today.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Love it, love it. I can see that for sure.
By the way, regarding the car with the owl inside.
I meant, I meant to ask you in the last
block do you think it was a super who oh
you held on? Was it possibly a b who do
you have more? Or maybe a Chevy Malibu?
Speaker 9 (28:05):
Who Oh, my gosh, you should see yourself out.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Now it's time for me to go. Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I waited until the end of the show because it's like,
if people tune out, well, we don't want that.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
For George Nori not planning on coming back, are you?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I had that when you said it, and you were
in the middle of a news thing, and then I
was like, I got to get to that, and then
I forgot so I came back, which is like the
best way to do jokes.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
No, it would have been better if you butted right
in at the time. Yeah, but nothing else I was
going to say was as important as that. Well, I mean,
look that was was that? Was that a thirty? Was
that a bottom of the hour update? I think it was,
so it probably was more serious. Well, we can lighten
it up toward the end, you know, we save kickers
for the end.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Speaking of which, let's go back to nineteen ninety six.
You remember this, well, I'm sure, well, so.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
Here's toy story, a red furry doll and giggles a lot.
Already great, But tickle Me Elmo is the hottest thing
this Christmas, sold out of stores everywhere. But is it
all just marketing and media hype. Here's Jeffrey Kaufman on
Elmo Mania.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
No one that sound takes you back?
Speaker 13 (29:19):
Huh, No wonder he's laughing all the way to the bank.
North America has been gripped by Tickle Me Elmo hysteria.
Just asked them in Fredericton, where forty eight of the
Buddeye beasts were put on sale at a local Walmart.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Not written with any disdain, whats the hostility is overwhelming?
So good by the way, that was really smacked down
in the middle of a lot of like toy crazy
eras you had a buzz light ear in ninety five,
you had the Tamagatchi in ninety seven. That was the
toy to have in the year following Tickle Me Elmo.
(29:59):
But not so cuddl though, No, definitely not Ferby in
nineteen ninety eight. That was crazy. Bead babies were in
there as well, sometime rats dolls. In two thousand and
one I missed that one wasn't for me. I was
out of the demo. And now, of course the Boo
Boos Letich have their own TV show and YouTube channel
(30:22):
and music and all kinds of horrifying things, but toys
that I think we can all agree on that are cool.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Back in the day G I Joe's.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
We were talking about it in the last block, so
much so that our next caller, our last caller, Robert,
is a collector of G I joe and wanted to
share some of his stories here on KFI this evening.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Good evening, Robert, Good evening, everyone, Good evening. Yes, I'm
a collector. I collect the twelve inch GI Joe's. I
have over two hundred.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
The majority of them are still in their rapper. They're
still in there. The boxers that they were are sealed in.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
What if you don't mind me asking what do those
go for? These days?
Speaker 6 (31:06):
They don't make them anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, but I'm saying if you were stop making them.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
If you were going to buy them on the on
the resale market, like, have those appreciated a lot?
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Yes? Yeah, it depends on which specific one you're looking for.
But I have a few that are around twelve thirteen
hundred dollars each.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Wow? And are they all the from the TV show
as well?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
That? No, this is this is a late sixties, early seventies,
got it?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Okay? So this is before the cartoon.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Yes, yes, And I have a pretty much every type
of uniform that they sold, a lot of the helicopters
and oh cool, army tanks and jeeps and motorcycles and roner.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
This is a guy, the guy after your own your
own heart.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Do you have the mobile support vehicle with the with
the propeller thing that launches.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Oh no, I don't think that's a twelve inch.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Oh it's not the right scale, the smaller one. I
have the saddest story in the world about that. What
is this? What? What? What your Christmas story? Hear me out?
Speaker 8 (32:17):
My grandpa bought me that for a birthday and a
friend was over winding it up while he was watching
TV with his mouth hanging open, and he broke the
propeller thing and we went back to take it to
the store to return it, and they didn't have a replacement.
So my grandpa just kept the money and I got nothing.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Oh oh no, that's good.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
And it doesn't sound like Robert's going to be able
to make your Christmas tree come true.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
You can't buy one.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Off of it.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah, you got to get one of these robins.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
All right, Well, Merry Christmas, gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Merry Christmas to you as well. Thank you so much
for calling Robert. Appreciate you, and I love it when
people call wonderful night hearing from all the wonderful viewers listeners.
Excuse me, you know? Do you know I was going
to screw up once tonight? That's the all only time
I've screwed up today.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Not counting the owl jokes. Oh no, no, no, no,
we woke out that.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
What are you talking about? They were a who.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
Whosh cut both their mis Merry Christmas to everybody, Happy Holidays,
happy Hondid Days, happy holidays, whatever you celebrate.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
We so appreciate you listening here on KFI. This is uh.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I guess this is my last show of the year.
Maybe I don't know if I'm back Sunday. I'll have
to check the schedule. But I wanted to say a
sincere thank you to everybody here, to Mark, to Nikki tafooj.
There are other people as well, not with an earshot.
But this has just been such a joy for me
(33:47):
to be able to do this and I love it,
especially that we've been able to hear from so many
people in the Southland, as they say on local media,
and I hope to see you all real soon. Happy everything,
Happy Everything. I am ex forty were live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, talking.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Now to Joy, who's calling from Costa Mesa, who's been
waiting so patiently to be on the show. Here we're
discussing holiday gifts, and specifically gifts that we remember back
from when we were kids that we liked just as
much as Ralphie and the Christmas Story liked the Red
Rider bb gun.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Joy, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Thank you for taking my call. Cool this happened in
the mid nineteen fifties. My dad painted with the ceiling
of my bedroom navy blue, and he bought a whole
bunch of these stick on go in the Dark planets
and stars and put them all over the ceiling, just
like you would be looking at the night sky. And
(00:45):
my gift was also a beautiful little telescope, Oh I
could use outside.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
How old were you at the time.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I was about eleven?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, great, Wow, that is so wonderful. And so was
it a surprise to you that the ceiling had been painted.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, they did this when I was at school, So
I didn't you know?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That's so great? And then did you? Like were you?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You must have been just transfixed by the space race
and everything that was going on then in the next
ten years.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Oh absolutely.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Did you end up.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Going into it professionally or did you just do you
still still like the looking at the stars?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Oh? Yeah, I still like looking at the stars. I
went to college. I went to USC when it was
twenty five dollars a year. I don't think I can
buy a book for that to.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, you cannot. No, you can't even park there for
an hour for twenty five dollars. Seriously, I mean it's
I don't know, it's probably expensive, you know, definitely.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
What'd you study at USC?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I got an MBA amazing?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
And so then you are are you a so Cal native?
Did you grow up in La I sure did.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Wow, that's so awesome. And what's what's the holiday look
like for you this year?
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Well?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I just go up to a local restaurant for all
my holidays and I know the workers there, so they're
my makeshift family.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I love that. Do you want to shout out the restaurant?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Am I allowed to do so?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
We'd love to hear about about a good local restaurant Norms. Yeah,
of course we love Norms.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I love the other one I go to's called pancakes
are us.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Oh my goodness, do they have pancakes there?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Oh, some of the best, and five different kinds of pancakes,
five different recipes.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So did you did you end up in Coasta Mesa? Later?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Did you grow up in Orange County as well?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I grew up pretty half of it in Whittier and
half of it here in coast to Mesa.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well, there you go Whittier where the girls are prettier.
That's what they say.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Well, thank you so much for calling.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's a great a great story, and and happy holidays
and Merry Christmas to you. Thanks so much for waiting
to take your call there. I think those kinds of
things that your parents do are just things that stick
with you, obviously for your your whole.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Life, especially when they put so much thought and time
and hard labor into setting everything up.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You know, It's so true.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Back in the day, you couldn't just go on Amazon
and order yourself a telescope and some stars and some paint.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Right, you really had.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Both of both of my parents were school teachers.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
So they made sure ervy toy I got was educational.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, that's wonderful. Well, joy, thank you so much. That's real.
They're bringing the joy. Mister Ronner.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That's oh, thank you so much. Please call any time.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
We'd love to hear from Thank you very much, Christmas.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Merry Christmas to you. I don't think Joy got a
lot of toy guns. No, Joy, Joy didn't was. Joy
was above all that, can't you tell? Do you want
to hear about the dangerous one?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Now? Yeah, of course. Okay.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
This was the thing that came out in the mid
seventies and it was kind of a sled, kind of
a little personal luge. It was called the Mini Bob sled,
and basically it was just a seat with a really big, long,
honestly obscene looking handle. And if you look up Mini
Bob Sled you'll see what I'm talking about. This is
a handle that would give Ron Jeremy inferiority complex. But
(04:26):
kids had these and they were just the most dangerous
thing imaginable.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
I grew up near a golf course and there were
always hills, and people would make jumps at the end
of hills. I had at least one friend who lost
teeth on the Mini Bob. That's how dangerous these things
were because they just went like a bat out of
hell too. It wasn't a normal sled, you got. This
is like something that would with Calvin and Hobbes would
find too dangerous.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, this looks really insane. This looks like something that,
like I feel that probably got banned by the government
at some point for so many different reasons.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
I believe they're still being made and and sold. But
you know, caveat in Germany, dental emptor right exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
These things just insane.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
But they were easy to carry, they were lightweight, and
so you know, you had to do a cost benefit
analysis and if you're a kid, you know sure. So
the most dangerous thing ever ever marketed to children Mini Bob.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It is something that was invented in Austria in the
nineteen seventies.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Of course it figures, of course it was because it
goes Makschnell. Oh, yeah, there you go. They call it
Zip for Bob, Zip Free Bob. It's a small, sturdy,
plastic sled invented in Austria. And you're right, brother, that
is a that is an almost an obscene thing. To
look at it at work on a work computer, I
(05:46):
would say that shades of John Dillinger. I've said too
much already. But these days I wouldn't even get on
one of those things on a bet. I mean, these
put you in the air. You've got some amplitude off
of these things, but also you didn't know how you
were going to land.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
It looks like something that we used in New Zealand
for what hanging out in the snow?
Speaker 9 (06:06):
We go down those as when I was a kid
in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Was that before eleven Ze's or afterwards?
Speaker 7 (06:13):
You know, I've.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
Actually been to Hobbiton and Mordorf and for.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
All life, I'm sure there's not a lot else to
do in New Zealand, but go to those places.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I mean, it's beautiful.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
New Zealand's great for extreme sports like this thing.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Like this thing, this is the recollection of using when
I was like seven years old.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
These days, giving a child a min mini bob would
be child abuse. You'd be reported to CPS.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I don't even want that thing in the house, not
even close. Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
By the way, it is, of course masa time here
in southern California, people making a pilgrimage down to Downey
because the Amapola Market is where a lot of the
the the devotees like to go. You can get MASA anywhere,
(06:59):
but they're doing it right down there in Downy, as
evidenced by the hours long markets lines where people were
lining up at as early as five thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
That's early.
Speaker 10 (07:13):
This is the moment they wait for all morning long.
They wait in line for the mass and you could
see they really stock up. I mean they have to
wait in line for sometimes hours, so it makes sense.
A lot of them feeding their families, giving it as presents,
making tamalay's.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
This is a holiday tradition.
Speaker 10 (07:28):
For so many.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I want to kind of take you through.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
The store a little bit because it's chaos.
Speaker 9 (07:32):
This is their super Bowl and we.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Want to show you them.
Speaker 9 (07:35):
Look at this little one. She's precious.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I just love. This is so national geographic POV.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
This is their super Bowl and we want to show
you them.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Look at the chaos. It's like she's like, give me.
Speaker 11 (07:49):
The mas set.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
So you could see they let in groups.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
I guess, yeah, they let them in groups. Basically they
all get a number and basically they come through here.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It wraps all all the way around.
Speaker 9 (08:00):
But also that's not all.
Speaker 10 (08:02):
They're also waiting to check out the lines at the
checkout are going into the aisles. But you can see
a lot of smiles on these people's faces. They say
they've been through this every single year. They know what
they're getting themselves into, and they are prepared to waiting.
Speaker 9 (08:15):
Say it is.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
It's waiting in line for masa. Masa of course, the
primary ingredient in the malis. You can also make choporado
out of masa.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I think.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
Worth it, and the owner he expects this too. He
says they have three locations, but this year specifically, he says,
the demand has been record breaking, so that's huge for
their business, huge for the community. Also, you guys might
have missed it, but he said they're not raising prices
for a third year. So if you're worried about paying
a little bit more, just like we are for pretty
(08:51):
much everything else right now, that is not the case here.
He really wants to make it affordable. There's our security guard, Aaron.
He's going to get in line. We've had seven roll
Tomali's this morning. I'm full. I think the.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
Whole crew is full.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
When I first moved to La I obviously had never
had I barely had eaten a taco grown up in Indiana,
I think we had We had one sushi restaurant in
Indianapolis when I left.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
Now it's a little more cosmopolitan. Oh, Indiana was slow
to get sushi.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, slow to get sushi. And it was a weird thing, like,
oh you eat raw fish, freaky weird ew. And that
was when we were in our thirties. But now, I mean,
I love it and I think now they've got really
good stuff. But even I didn't know Korean food existed
at all. I mean, I was really dumb. It was
very ignorant. Indiana was slow to get espresso. They were
(09:40):
kind of behind the curve on anything having to do
with food. They still pronounced it expresso. So you know,
we're not doing super great. But no, they're doing They're
doing well. But Masa is unreal. And the experience of
my first girlfriend in La was Mexican is Mexican. We're
not together anymore, but we were and I got to
go to her family for Christmas, and it was my
(10:02):
first experience with like a real Mexican Christmas, with the masa,
with the tamales, with the chumparado, with all of it,
and much of her family didn't speak English, and I
thought that was real fun and they're very very kind
to me and very nice. Her grandma gave me a
bottle of manichevins.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
That's how they are. Man.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I was like, awesome, great, heck yes, and uh, that
was a really wonderful experience. But I just was like,
by the time I went home, I had had like
forty tamalies. It felt like I was like I could
never look at Masa again and I'd be okay, but
you know, you always say that, and then now I
have a hanger and forum coming up in the next
next couple of days.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
So very good stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
We've got Mike on the line. Thanks for waiting, Mike,
appreciate you calling here. You were on KFI.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Oh yeah, Rich, I have a problem my computer. I
can don't anything.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
That is a great joke.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
That's the best. That is the best joke I've ever heard.
It's so funny.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Did I do it?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Do you know yesterday? Did I tell you this story?
I think I told her in the story and the
show yesterday. I was at Smokehouse on Friday night and
somebody thought I was Rich Tomuro, but I didn't realize
it until like thirty seconds into the conversation when she
introduced me to her friend as Rich, and I had
a very I had to very carefully be like, no,
I'm not rich to Buro, but I do work with
him and I am on the show with him. And
(11:32):
she was like, she was like upset like that. It
was like stolen valor, like I had taken Rich's identity
or something.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
But anyway, don't I don't see this anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, you know, it happens enough that apparently it is
a thing. But go ahead. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Funny joke you are, you know, on April, fool of
you guys are to switch places.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
It's a great idea. I got to get a haircut first, though,
and then maybe get hit.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
But when I was ten years old, I actually had
a bb gun. My brother and I we trade our
older cousin some weight a weight stet for a bab gun. Right,
and that was my backyard, and these little birds would
fly and stop on top of the fence, right, And
(12:22):
so I was back there like the Vietnam and stuff,
and like a sniper hiding behind the trees, and I
was just waiting for my shot. Now I had a thing.
He said, you had to pump the thing up, you know,
like a lot, and it'll be bees. They were only
good for like five feet right then they went anywhere,
you know, and I tried to shoot the bird, you know,
(12:46):
I mean probably a hundred times, and I finally one day, boom,
I hit him and he fell and behind our house
was We didn't have an alley, so it was a
neighbor house.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
You know.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
I never I never looked for the bird, but I
felt so bad. Yeah to this, to this, I'm sixty six,
To this day, I have never owned, bought a gun,
shot a gun. To this day, you know, I was
gonna buy one of those plastic guns like Tim Conway
Junior had on his show. He had the owner on
(13:22):
his show. Oh yeah, yeah, I forget the name of it,
buying them or Binham or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was gonna buy one of those. Yeah, I was gonna.
I was gonna pull the trigger and buy one.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
But I didn't burna is that what it's called, burma?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, burma.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Yeah, Yeah, I was gonna get one of those. But
to this day, I felt and I remember, I felt
so bad. You know what I've never made the connection,
be because I've seen that movie one hundred thousand times,
but I've never made the connection from when I was
ten years old. I guess because he wasn't trying to
shoot anything, you know, but.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No, yeah, and then he you know, he did end
up learning a lesson, uh, because it ricocheted off of
the little metal piece sign that he shot, and then
you know, broke his glasses. But that is a crazy story.
And it's amazing that those kinds of things, you know,
are so impressed. We are so impression. It makes such
a big impression on us as a kid, and then
it sticks with us for the for the rest of
our lives, for forever.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Man, that's a long yeah, that's a long time. Fifty
six years. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Well, I'm glad you called and atoned here for the
for the bird murder so many years later. I know
the feeling though, of I mean, not the exact specific thing,
but when you're trying to do something and then you
do it, you're like.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Oh no, no, no, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. Yeah,
that's funny.
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Man.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
I I felt so bad right now. I just I
just I kind of go up myself.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh well, I'll tell you what we're going to do
some more fun stories here, and then I hope you
feel better going into George Norrie. And I'm sure he's
gonna have some good stuff for you tonight as well,
so I don't feel too better. Yeah, thank you so much.
I appreciate you for and thanks for the jokes and
thanks for the I think you know we leave on
the high note talking about Richard Miro and how when
people get us confused, and I think that's a great
(15:07):
that's a great inside joke.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So Mike, thank you so much for.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Getting you're getting kind of weird though, because I think
you said several stories about that so long.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, it's really it's really odd how how often it happens.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
And that's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But you know what, I understand, and I feel better
about it for me because I think he's better looking
that I I feel bad for him.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And if people think that he's he's me.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
But well, yeah, maybe in person, you maybe you might
look different than you do on TV. I've never seen
you in person.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
That's true, but I don't see that.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
I don't see that. I don't see the similarity.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You know, I think we sit in the same seat,
which might be it. And we also talk a lot
about the same stuff. You know, we're also talking about
the Internet and things that are happening in the world.
I do more trending stuff. He does obviously the tech thing.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Uh. And we both have shows on kf I, so
maybe that's that's also part of it.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And you've never seen us in the same room and
we have the same wife and kids. So well, Mike,
thank you so much for calling. Well, we'll talk to
you Stan brother, have a great night. There he goes,
look at that, mister Ronner. Yes, mister Reesemeyer, care to
(16:18):
add anything? You need a haircut?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Are you doing haircuts? Do you want that? Can I
tell you?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (16:27):
I mean, I don't know you got a flowbee twenty minutes? No, no,
But I can give you a nice buzz. Yeah, let's
do it.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I'm always trying to rock with a nice buzz. The
thing is that I have texted my guy who cuts
my hair, and he's ghosting me right now.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Well, listen, I just went through this whole thing of
breaking up with a longtime barber and finding another one.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You did. People don't understand how serious this is.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
What would ever compel you? It must have been really bad. Well, yeah,
because it was like Russian roulette. It's like you cry
going to the dentist. I cried going to the barber
because I didn't know what he was going to do
about One in every three was terrific, but the others
were just like horror prank haircuts.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You know, if we were going by baseball batting averages
like that would have been pretty good. It's like a
point thirty three, right, this isn't baseball, this is there.
There's no crying in hair as well. I will tell
you the story before before I hit it off to you.
When I was a kid, I shaved my head because
I was trying to cut my hair because I had
what i'd got a bad haircut, and I was trying
to fix it myself. And I took a big old
(17:29):
chunk out of it, and I thought, no, this is terrible,
so i'll fix it now.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I'll shave my entire head.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
And I did, and I only got like halfway through, because,
as you know, if you have hair that's longer than
any little bit of a buzz, you can't just take
a straight you know, like a big razor that you
would use on your on your face, to your hair,
to your head. So that was horrifying. I ended up
doing a little patch over on the side of my head.
My mom came home and basically had like a meltdown
(17:57):
because I looked like an insane person. And then they
took me in the next day to uh uh a
barber shop down the street called It's Always Time for
a Haircut in Indianapolis, and it was staffed by former
ex cons. Well, I guess they're they're ex cons, they're
former formerly incarcerated.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
That inspires confidence. Well, it was cheap, which my family like.
That was first first foremost.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Secondly they had dealt with They were like there to
like instill the fear and wayward youth.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So it was like scared straight, but at the barbers
it's exactly what I like. And then they shaved my head.
And then like Natalie Portman and and uh that movie
where were you openly crying?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yes, crying for sure? And then I got a I
was like, well, what am we going to do now?
So I went to CVS and I bought a wig.
It's like fifth grade and I go to school and
I'm like wearing a wig and people are like, what
is the what is happening here?
Speaker 8 (18:56):
And then I take the wig off and they're like
Breesemeyer's bald. I think the one you're wearing right now
looks pretty good. It's it's convention. Yeah, this is a
pretty good one.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
I had a mullet growing up.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That tracks for me for sure.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
That is mean because my hair is so curly.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You should have one now.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
I look like a Jerry Co when I have a mullet.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I can see that.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Yeah, it's no good.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well, but your share impression is still it's impeccable.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
That's just my natural.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
We were doing a game last night on my show
on Sunday where it was a hit the post game,
you know what I'm talking about, where like on FM
radio where they start a song that has a long
intro in it and the DJ does some kind of
like is he.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Out a nine point vibes Miley in the morning.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
We're giving away take us to see Rob Dabas at
the see him this weekend.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
It'll be the first number of the call two nine.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
And then as soon as he would finish saying it'd
be like start to dead.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I wish you.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
So that was a whole thing during the nineties radio.
Now songs start immediately. They don't have intros anymore. But
hitting the post was something that, like I thought, was well,
the coolest thing. And I don't have time tonight, but
I'm thinking in the same way that we sort of
did a game last week, when I'm back sometime in
the future, it'd be fun, with your permission, to see
(20:21):
how well you guys can hit the post. Mark Ronner
and Nikki and Fush. I don't know if I could
do that. I know you could do it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Ronner would probably be the best. You think you think
ronnod be better than you. Oh yeah, wow, so humble.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
Maybe i'd be good.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Nah No, she'd get too excited.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
You can talk and I talk too much.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Back in the day, though, it was like there were
these songs like a Freebird, right, there's like a thirty
five second.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Intro on that.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
That's where you really earn that separates the boys from
the men in the radio and the FM radio dial.
That's the difference between Andy Reesemeyer and Shotgun Tom Kelly.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
I could do what Shotgun Tom does. I was impressed
with him, and it's his whole pattern.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
What's interesting is like he's one of those people who,
as you said, we've been talking about him, you know,
man god since he left, well of course, Uh, his
persona and the and the the power of that voice
just gets your hype, gets you ready, gets you going.
It's like John Tesh playing the d There's not any
(21:25):
way you can hear that guy and be like, I'm
so impressed.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
You can't not say I'm so impressed, I'm so ready.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I did ask him if he was related to Machine
Gun Kelly, and his response was google me.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
That's great, that's great. All right, Uh talk back number
one here, let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Jed Joe Steph. That was my red writer be beginning.
If it was something having to do with j I Joe,
I wanted it.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
I had to have it.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah that's huge, Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
The the Curse of the Stolen Idol, the the mobile
support vehicle.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Those are good toys, a whole.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Suite of those things, and those I bet you there
are very few toys that have been destroyed as heinously,
as as g I Joe's.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
And keep g I Joe away from Barbie while you're
at it. No, you don't. You don't like to mix.
My grandmother did not appreciate the hijinks. I don't. I
don't really want to.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
Aby's well, there were there were toys in the house
because it was the same house my mother grew up in,
and they were just there.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Don't accuse me of playing with dolls.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Listen, except for g I Joe brother, this is a
this is a wide open world, safe space.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
You played with Bobby's.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Good thing. There's a there's a wall between the two
of you. I gotta have to turn this, turn this
show around.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
When somebody with her accent says Barbie, I just assume
it means shrimp.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
It's so funny.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
We don't call them shrimps? Should I say Barbie?
Speaker 6 (22:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I think Bobby is pretty funny. Is that how I guess? Technically?
Speaker 9 (23:04):
Okay, awtful do job?
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I don't know what I.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Am. I bra it?
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Oh youny Governor Shaw your shoes for a father?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Oh well, lucuo is if it easy? Nikki?
Speaker 9 (23:18):
Well easy? Do you get on to Brixton?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Oh my god, it is nine forty five for sure.
Two days before Christmas another talk back.
Speaker 11 (23:27):
Let's listen, Andy, I wanted to contribute to your Christmas question,
but I didn't think I could get through it without crying. No,
my father passed away when I was little. My mom
did an excellent job raising us, but finances were tough,
and we would always just get one gift, and when
we'd get back to school, people would always ask what
(23:48):
else did you get?
Speaker 9 (23:49):
What did you get?
Speaker 11 (23:50):
What else did you get? So I think it's nice
to not ask those questions and not encourage greed.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
That's a good point. Oh, you're toy shaming. That's what
you've been doing to well.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I mean I.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Like to look at it as you know, the memory
part of it, in the nostalgia part of it, and
I understand that that holidays are tough in a lot
of ways for a lot of people, and it's not
this just like it's like the most wonderful time of
the year. And also all of the issues with your
family are still there. And I remember it being very
(24:24):
very obvious to me when my dad died and I thought,
oh my god, Christmas is never going to be the same,
and it is really different. And it was especially the
first couple of years really hard because my dad loved
Christmas and he was like the embodiment of Christmas. The
man had a Christmas vest pant combo that he would
(24:45):
wear every year, which was like this like silk print thing.
It was very cool. He was just really fun really funny,
And so I totally get it, and I have a
lot of empathy for how that feels when it's everything
around you is to be consumption and greed and buy
and do this and go through the motions and do
all these things and celebrate and be happy.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
No, no, I get that.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
And I always feel sorry for other kids who didn't
get toys because I didn't. I mentioned that I grew
up with my grandparents and they would give me things
that they thought were cool during the depression when they
were growing up growing up, like an orange or a
handful of pencils.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Buddy, Uh yeah, i'll stick a neck away for us season.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Here's a potato in your sock.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
So and you know, I mentioned the neighbor kids got
all the cool stuff while I was getting all this
like subsistence level of things that weren't remotely any fun.
So I always feel terrible for kids who don't get
cool toys.
Speaker 9 (25:42):
Well you I got not much at all being a.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Jew, well you have a different thing.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
We don't get eight days of gifts. That's a lie.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Not according to that song by Adam Adam Sandler.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
I know, but we no one really gets it.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
And even if you do, it's like little things like
they'll pop the dradel.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Oh, you know, dradles are fun. That's technically a toy.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
For a second, and okay, that's done. It's really not true.
We got nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Well, I'm glad we were able to turn over a
new leaf and positivity and happiness here.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
We really started a contest no one can win.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, we're like we're raced to the bottom of who
could be the saddest. I'm talking about my dad. You
guys are talking about getting nothing for Christmas. That's all right,
we're all here together enjoying it. We got another block.
On the other side of this quick break.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

I always love listening to Twilight Zone stuff though, and
when they have the marathons on, Oh my god, those

Do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
It's just like the way that everybody talked, the music,
the choices, the spartan, theirs space.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
He had such a distinctive way of talking, and I
just I loved his sensibilities and I apply them to
things going on today.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Love it, love it. I can see that for sure.
By the way, regarding the car with the owl inside.
I meant, I meant to ask you in the last
block do you think it was a super who oh
you held on? Was it possibly a b who do
you have more? Or maybe a Chevy Malibu?
Speaker 9 (28:05):
Who Oh, my gosh, you should see yourself out.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Now it's time for me to go. Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I waited until the end of the show because it's like,
if people tune out, well, we don't want that.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
For George Nori not planning on coming back, are you?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I had that when you said it, and you were
in the middle of a news thing, and then I
was like, I got to get to that, and then
I forgot so I came back, which is like the
best way to do jokes.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
No, it would have been better if you butted right
in at the time. Yeah, but nothing else I was
going to say was as important as that. Well, I mean,
look that was was that? Was that a thirty? Was
that a bottom of the hour update? I think it was,
so it probably was more serious. Well, we can lighten
it up toward the end, you know, we save kickers
for the end.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Speaking of which, let's go back to nineteen ninety six.
You remember this, well, I'm sure, well, so.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
Here's toy story, a red furry doll and giggles a lot.
Already great, But tickle Me Elmo is the hottest thing
this Christmas, sold out of stores everywhere. But is it
all just marketing and media hype. Here's Jeffrey Kaufman on
Elmo Mania.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
No one that sound takes you back?
Speaker 13 (29:19):
Huh, No wonder he's laughing all the way to the bank.
North America has been gripped by Tickle Me Elmo hysteria.
Just asked them in Fredericton, where forty eight of the
Buddeye beasts were put on sale at a local Walmart.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Not written with any disdain, whats the hostility is overwhelming?
So good by the way, that was really smacked down
in the middle of a lot of like toy crazy
eras you had a buzz light ear in ninety five,
you had the Tamagatchi in ninety seven. That was the
toy to have in the year following Tickle Me Elmo.
(29:59):
But not so cuddl though, No, definitely not Ferby in
nineteen ninety eight. That was crazy. Bead babies were in
there as well, sometime rats dolls. In two thousand and
one I missed that one wasn't for me. I was
out of the demo. And now, of course the Boo
Boos Letich have their own TV show and YouTube channel
(30:22):
and music and all kinds of horrifying things, but toys
that I think we can all agree on that are cool.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Back in the day G I Joe's.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
We were talking about it in the last block, so
much so that our next caller, our last caller, Robert,
is a collector of G I joe and wanted to
share some of his stories here on KFI this evening.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Good evening, Robert, Good evening, everyone, Good evening. Yes, I'm
a collector. I collect the twelve inch GI Joe's. I
have over two hundred.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
The majority of them are still in their rapper. They're
still in there. The boxers that they were are sealed in.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
What if you don't mind me asking what do those
go for? These days?
Speaker 6 (31:06):
They don't make them anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, but I'm saying if you were stop making them.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
If you were going to buy them on the on
the resale market, like, have those appreciated a lot?
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Yes? Yeah, it depends on which specific one you're looking for.
But I have a few that are around twelve thirteen
hundred dollars each.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Wow? And are they all the from the TV show
as well?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
That? No, this is this is a late sixties, early seventies,
got it?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Okay? So this is before the cartoon.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
Yes, yes, And I have a pretty much every type
of uniform that they sold, a lot of the helicopters
and oh cool, army tanks and jeeps and motorcycles and roner.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
This is a guy, the guy after your own your
own heart.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Do you have the mobile support vehicle with the with
the propeller thing that launches.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Oh no, I don't think that's a twelve inch.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Oh it's not the right scale, the smaller one. I
have the saddest story in the world about that. What
is this? What? What? What your Christmas story? Hear me out?
Speaker 8 (32:17):
My grandpa bought me that for a birthday and a
friend was over winding it up while he was watching
TV with his mouth hanging open, and he broke the
propeller thing and we went back to take it to
the store to return it, and they didn't have a replacement.
So my grandpa just kept the money and I got nothing.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Oh oh no, that's good.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
And it doesn't sound like Robert's going to be able
to make your Christmas tree come true.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
You can't buy one.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Off of it.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah, you got to get one of these robins.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
All right, Well, Merry Christmas, gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Merry Christmas to you as well. Thank you so much
for calling Robert. Appreciate you, and I love it when
people call wonderful night hearing from all the wonderful viewers listeners.
Excuse me, you know? Do you know I was going
to screw up once tonight? That's the all only time
I've screwed up today.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Not counting the owl jokes. Oh no, no, no, no,
we woke out that.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
What are you talking about? They were a who.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
Whosh cut both their mis Merry Christmas to everybody, Happy Holidays,
happy Hondid Days, happy holidays, whatever you celebrate.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
We so appreciate you listening here on KFI. This is uh.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I guess this is my last show of the year.
Maybe I don't know if I'm back Sunday. I'll have
to check the schedule. But I wanted to say a
sincere thank you to everybody here, to Mark, to Nikki tafooj.
There are other people as well, not with an earshot.
But this has just been such a joy for me
(33:47):
to be able to do this and I love it,
especially that we've been able to hear from so many
people in the Southland, as they say on local media,
and I hope to see you all real soon. Happy everything,
Happy Everything. I am ex forty were live everywhere on
