Speaker 3 (00:10):
Mark Thompson sitting in on a wet, wet Tuesday night.
I mean, it's I guess the worst is passed from
what I'm seeing, but man, it was dropping for a while.
First major snows in the Sierra too. By the way,
it's really some heavy snow there. What is the latest, Mark,
I guess that it really is the fact that now
(00:32):
it's clearing skies.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's it'll be a refreshing morning as I'm is what
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I think we're just about the other end of it.
We might get a little bit more rain.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Tonight, some rogue showers, some sun tomorrow though, let's look
on the bright side. Yes, yeah, absolutely, the sun will
come out tomorrow. Annie was right. We have a lot
to get to. I had a celebrity experience sighting today,
(01:03):
and I mentioned it, not just because I had the
celebrity siding, which in itself is you know, we are
in Hollywood, you kind of bump into them, but because
I got up into my head a lot about it
before I had the encounter. I got up into my
own sort of neurotic insecurity about it. You know, like,
(01:24):
what do you say you do? You've everybody's had these
encounters and maybe it's an athlete or maybe it's a
screen star whatever, and you're going, okay now, and I
should I say, hey, I've been a fan since I
was a kid. Should I say you know, hey, I
saw you in whatever and you were really good? Or
do I identify myself in some way that sort of
(01:46):
lets the person know I'm in show business? Also, you're
not just some plea, not a civilian. I am in
your business, you see. So when you do that, you
have to do it in such a way where you're
not just you know, buffoonish about it. You know, you
(02:10):
may recognize me from Law and Order season eleven. I
mean you don't want to, you know, you want to
try to say something that is.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
That is cool.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
You may know me as the voice of cheaters, thank you,
like you know, you know, but even that, like you'd say,
you know, I'm Mark Thompson.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And then you if you're going to go with a
show business reference, what do you do? You say?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
You know you can't do anything well, Mark Thompson, what
have you done? And you'd say, well, you know KFI
radio and I'm on iHeart Radio. Maybe that's what you do,
because that's what you're doing now. You don't go maybe
you recognize my voice from American Idols. It's fourteen seasons
of that, When Good Times Go Bad, Season one, two, three,
(03:00):
four and five, When Good Pets Go Bad one, two, three,
four and five. Right, you don't you don't list your
resume for someone. I mean, you know, that would be funny.
That's the way you should do it as a sketch.
But in real life, it's going to be somebody. It's
taking baby steps away from you, So I'd leave all
that stuff out. I don't you know. I don't identify
(03:22):
myself in any way it's related.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I want to.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I want to say, hey, look I I have a
an ouvra. Also, I have, you know, a portfolio of
film and television appearances. Also, okay, I was in an
Aaron Sorkin movie maybe you've heard of him, Award winning writer,
The American President. I was in it with Richard Dreyfus.
(03:48):
I had to scene multiple scenes with him. I want
to say that. I want to I want to scream
my relevance because it's a celebrity, but of course I do.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It wouldn't be cool. So then I'm at the pharmacy.
That's where this happened. At the pharmacy, and he's got
his son with him. I'm thinking, you know, do you
want to I do you want to do a thing
(04:20):
with the it's awkward with the kid. You don't want to.
Like I'm telling you, I get up to of my
my head about this too much.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Just say hello, Just say hey, I'm a big fan.
That's what I should do. And by the way, that's
what I do a lot of the time. But this
one I had several different roads in. So the guy
I'm talking about is Ashton Kutcher. Okay, Now, Ashton Kutcher
(04:53):
is a celebrity for multiple things. Right he did. Of course,
he replaced Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Prior to that, he was in that seventies show, right
he was. Also, he's been in a bunch of movies.
You could tell me what movies, ron or that's your department.
I haven't seen a ton of Ashton Kutcher movies.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Dude, where's my car?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
My car is a big one. But I'm not going
to say, hey, loved you, and dude, where's my car?
I mean, that's like almost a put down, right, really, no,
I would be humbled by that. Actually, well, I just
don't think it's an opener, you know what I mean.
It may be something you'd throw in, like, hey, I
know it's weird to say this, but I always love dude,
where's my car? And I have dude, where's where my car?
Viewing parties in my house every year whatever. Then that
(05:44):
might be fun, but it's not an opener, it's my point.
So of course he did punks and he you know,
he was a you know, he's a model.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
He was married. Wasn't he married to me?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
More?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Or was he?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
He was?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
But he's presently married to me.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Lukuna ah right, Melacunas, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So I've
met Meelacunis.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I was good friends with a couple of the kids
on that seventies show. While that seventies show was on,
we were really good friends, and I would go down
and play cards on the set of that seventies show.
But I'd never met Ashton Kutcher, so I couldn't even
say because this is the good opener. Wow, it's been forever,
(06:29):
but we met on the set of that seventies show.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I was down there to play. Now.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Now you could just say that, but that's not what
I do. If it didn't actually happen, I'm not going
to just use it as an opener. So I'm standing
there and it's a little bit like I'm thinking in
my head. And this is where it's just awful to
be Mark Thompson, because you have this in your head.
You want to say the right thing. You want to
stick the landing. It's nothing, Mark, just say hello and
(06:55):
move on. What's a big deal. No, no, no, no, I
want this to go really well. So I'm standing there.
It's Ashton, it's his son, it's me at the pharmacy,
and we're just waiting.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And then for me it seems like forever is. I'm
reviewing what I might say, and when we come back,
I will tell you what my opener was. And then
I followed my opener. This is really the high wire act.
When you follow the.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Opener, you exchange pleasantries, you've shaken hands, you've acknowledged the sun,
and then you go back. You go back for another sortie.
That is the high wire act. And that did happen,
And I will tell you what I went back with.
I'll give you the whole transcript when we come back.
(07:57):
And I think it went well, I'll tell you how
I think it went when we come back. It's KFI
AM six forty, Mark Thompson sitting in on a wet
Tuesday night. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Lou
Penrose buried under that DiAngelo music?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
What was that? Sam?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I don't know what. It's sad. Di Angelo passing away?
Young person too? Was he fifty one? Is that what
it was?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Sam? Yeah, passed away. Pancreatic cancer.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
It's just fortunate.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Brutal cancer too. I mean it's all awful, but pancreatic
cancer supposally be particularly terrible. Really really sad.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But and I just you know, fifty one, it's just
insanely young, really insanely young.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I was texting, this is really grim. I'm sorry to
get off on this nowhere.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
He started with, it's your fault, Sam, because you played
the di Angelo and he just passed away.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It was just texting with my friend who's got days
to live.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Sad back and he has cancer also, he's been but
I'll tell you something was really cool about I saw
a year and a half ago.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
He lives back east. He came, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We're meeting on the campus of UCLA, and and he
as we walked toward each other, he beat his chest
and he said, fifty two rounds of chemo. And I'm
still going Mark. It was just great. He's that kind
of guy. But uh, you know, cancer is just brutal.
(09:21):
And I was just texting him and sort of at
the end, everybody's texting and calling, of course, but sad,
sad stuff. Man, when young people pass away and then
DiAngelo is one of them, fifty one years old. This
is KFIAM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
I'm Mark Thompson. I'm here to bum you out tonight,
gonna tell stories about people passing away. I'm sure we
(09:44):
have other celebrity obits we could share with you.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
You know DiAngelo's wife, Angie Stone, she's an RMB sing.
She also passed away recently, my god, leaving their child
an orphan.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Oh my god, I'm going to bum everyone out.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Nicky a very strong with bummage tonight coming in over
the top. So we have DiAngelo. I come in with
my friend who's passing away in days. But you come
over the top, you say, I'll see those two, and
I'll raise.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You the fact that his wife all.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Also passed away, leaving the child parentless.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
She I think she died in a car accident. Sad.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
All right, Well, Nicky set the bar very high for
us tonight in terms of bumming people out, but we'll
try to get to it. Meantime, on the other side
of town, I will finish my celebrity brush story. If
you'll remember from before the break, I'm in a pharmacy,
(10:49):
my regular pharmacy. I was there to get an inoculation today.
And as I wait for them to prepare the syringe
and the procedure and everything they've got to do, I
spy a tall fellow wearing a Chicago Bears jacket and
(11:09):
it's Ashton Kutcher, and he's with his son, and I thought,
oh my god, I know some of the same people
that he used to work with on the set of
that seventies show.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
And I'll mention one of them to him.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Now, this is after I've checked off, as I was
telling you, against all of these other things, like just
say Hey, don't say anything at all, don't bother him whatever.
But we're just it's awkward almost because it's just us
waiting there by the counter, he and his son and me.
In a way, it would be almost rude not to
(11:47):
say something. He's a celebrity, So I go for this.
Among the choices like do I reference something that I've
been in show business to say, hey, you know I'm
show business adjacent, I'm one of you. Do I go
with some project that maybe we both worked on if
(12:09):
I could remember that. But I hadn't been able to
come up with anything like that, and so I went
with the I think very strong play. It's a real
good one if you are approaching a celebrity and you
want to say hello, it's the mutual friend reference.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So I went with Ashton. Hey.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I introduced myself. I said we were a good friend,
and I mentioned one of the people on that seventies
show as a friend of mine, and he said, oh
my gosh, that's so great. Please say hi to her
when you speak to her again. So now in his response,
I'm trying to tweak my radar to see if we're
(12:55):
having a conversation right now, or if he's kissing me off.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You know, I have to be honest.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I felt a little kiss offfish from him, and I'm
wondering is it because of his son? I said, oh,
this is your this is your son. Hello, nice to
see you, sir. I said, well, how old did the
sun look? He's I'm going to say eight, okay, so
too young for you to say something like, hey, kid,
the magnums are in that aisle. Wow. Wow, that is
(13:26):
so out of line. No, no, no. If he had
been a little bit older, that would have been cool.
Bo is that right at that age?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
How old?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
How old do you have to be for you that
to be cool? I'm saying thirteen or fourteen?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No, no, twelve, no no, no, no, no, no no,
And well you'd never get that from me.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I don't have that move. But no, he was in
the cute young kid stage. So again, now I kind
of just back away, you know what I mean. Well,
it's great seeing you, you know what I mean. And
then I go sit and wait, and I'm waiting at
the back of the pharmacy. So now we're not in
the same physical space. But I say, I text my
(14:08):
other half and I say, yeah, it's so cool. I'm
waiting in the pharmacy. I'm getting my shot my vacs.
I'm and I bumped into Ashton Kutcher and she says, oh,
are cleaners? The guy who delivers the cleaning to the house.
Loves him, won't stop talking about him every time, so
(14:31):
I know it's odd. So now I go in when
he comes back because he's walking around the store with
his son. He comes back into my space and I
hit him with what, Hey, by the way, do you
know Max the cleaner? And he says no, I don't know.
(14:56):
And I'm thinking I wouldn't even my da. In fact,
a wife forced me to mention this and I said, no,
the guy who cleans the clothes. He says, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
I do know him. And now I think I'm back
on the game. Okay, I'm back in the game with him.
And I'm thinking, though, dude, just shut up already and
let this guy be in there. And then he says,
(15:18):
I think the conversation's over, right. I'm thinking we've screwed
this up. He's kind of acknowledged it. Then he says
to me, he does a really nice job. I'm thinking, oh,
maybe the conversation's back on with Ashton mixed signals for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I can't figure this out. And then he says one
other thing like, never has screwed anything up of mine.
I'll say that somebody like that. I'm thinking, well, maybe
he's is he trying? Is he trying to reach out
to me right now?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'm scrambling to really find magnetic north on this. And
I believe I said maybe one other thing to him. Oh,
I think I just said though. Then I got my
shot on.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The way and I've said hey, you see you again soon,
And that was it. It was, in my mind, a
first date that went very well, I thought, but had
some confusing cross currents.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
What did you want out of the exchange? Thank you?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
That's what I was asking myself. I wanted to I
wanted a really warm exchange with somebody who I felt
was like a neighbor acknowledgement, Yes, yeah, you know, I
may wanted to feel seen. Yeah, And I thought to
be honest and fair to him. I thought he did
a pretty good job. I think I was the one
who's I'm so spring loaded for rejection that I think
(16:35):
I was overthinking it and just interpreting everything in a
negative way. If I had just gone with kind of
some confidence, I think that's what you take away from
this story.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Confidence own it.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
But I was in that place where I both didn't
want to be that guy, but I also felt like, oh,
I'm you know, I've got something to connect with with
this guy. And we're just standing here in the pharmacy
and it's just the two of us. Did you notice
what he was buying? I did not, because I could
have gone any number of directions. Yeah, that's again. I
(17:10):
try I try to. I try to mind my own
my own business, apecially in a pharmacy. Yeah right, exactly right, right, right, Wow,
you have that too. I had that condition a couple
of years ago, right, That lotion will take care of it.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, yeah, uh all right. That's my look.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
The story is four hours old and you're the only
people I'm telling about it.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
So there it is. That's a wrap on the on
the Ashton story.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Mark Thompson Sitting on a Tuesday night, a wet Tuesday
night in Los Angeles where KFI AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Into the night, a wet Tuesday, as we're drying out
in southern California and KFI AM six forty live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app Mark Thompson sitting in on this
Tuesday night, and I'll tell you they the rumors are hot.
I didn't realize it. He's never been married before, and
he is a man, and this is something else I
(18:12):
didn't realize. Who's he's over sixty years old, Keanu reeves.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
He looks good.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah, I don't think of him as someone who he's
sixty one and there are rumors that he's going to
be married. Do you know anything about this, Nikki. I
feel like you're more tied to the world of entertainment
than I am.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
H Yeah, he was speaking to E News and he
basically said that he is yet to walk down the aisle,
but he he thinks I guess he thinks.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
The rumors acute. But he's still a non married stud.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
His words are yours, my words.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
I represent all women. He's up there with Dolly Potton.
I feel in terms of a national treasure.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Oh, that's really cool of you to say. I mean,
I'm sure you know he was not born in this country.
You're aware of that.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Right, yeah, but he is America now even though he
was born in Canada.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He was born actually in Beirut.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Let ye, He's lived in Australia. He's a man of
the globe.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
He is well listened to Nicky's he really is into them.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And Keanu Reeves, who isn't He's an icon?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
He was raised in Canada, It's true. And when you
think back on everything he's done, I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's the matrix. Is that the isn't that it? Mark?
That would be your thing? I'm sure. Oh yeah, that
was a big one when it came out. But I mean,
isn't that when you when I say Keanu Reeves, isn't
that what you go to? I go to John Wick?
Oh you do? Go?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Mean I might be a borderline sociopath, but I like
the Wick movies.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I like Dracula. Oh, come on, come on, Dracula.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Why didn't you just say the Shakespeare one? While you're
at it? Which one? What Shakespeare movie was he in?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Oh? Wasn't he in much? Do about nothing?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Wow? That's great knowledge. I didn't even know he was
in that.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I don't think those two movies played to his strengths.
The Whig movies. He doesn't say a lot, but he
commits a lot of violence, and I think that's about right, Billy.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
He's a good action Bill and Ted was his strength.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Bill and Ted was huge. That was back in the.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Eighties nineties actually as well.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
That's right. There was a Sweet sequel and that was
in the nineties, and.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Then there was recent one during COVID and I loved
that one, and the newest one he made.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, you're right, they made a like a much later sequel.
He made a lot of really smart decisions, Keanu Reeves
did about his career when I'm just thinking about you know,
he did Point Break. Remember he was in Point Break.
That was huge.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
That's the best, right, that's the iconic.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
And then right after that, this is again in the nineties,
he was in Speed with Sandra Bullock. I mean, these
are really big movies. And it's not like he did
clunkers in between. He was pretty good at I think,
picking projects.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
And he did one with Diane Keaton, right.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
And and what was it? Yeah, dank it was it
called Something's Got to Give? Was that it?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I think that's it?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's and really those are two virtuoso actors
working in a project like that, you know. But yeah,
but the matrix you're right in john Wick super actiony.
And it's interesting too that, you know, kind of what
Nicky's alluding to or hinting at. At sixty one, he's
(21:33):
still got it, like, you know, he's still got that
sex appeal. Really impressive, really really impressive. I played cards
with him once in West Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Oh can I come next?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
In a private card?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Well it was was long time, twenty years ago, so
they haven't had another game that I know of.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
But he was very nice. So what kind of cards
are we talking about here? Poker?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I would guess he's good at bluffing. I don't remember
him being good or bad. I just thought, oh he was.
He was very nice, you know. Not A poker is
great for that. It, you know, puts you in a
mix with people you might not otherwise have a mix with.
You know, I played with Leonardo DiCaprio a couple of times.
Look at this, Yeah, I mean, but again, it's not like,
(22:19):
you know, you don't sit there and go, hey, listen.
When you were shooting Titanic, I heard that, you know,
you don't you just don't do that, right that wouldn't
be cool. Yeah, you wouldn't be good. So you're kind
of and you're all just kind of playing cards and
you know doing.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Did you ever have any really big poker wins against
any celebrity, like any memorable like you know we're going
head in?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Uh, no, funny at each other.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It's funny you asked that question because I actually remember
a hand that I called him on Leo DiCaprio and
he had a queen high flush and I called him
and called him a flush hit the river, a possible flush,
and I still commit a big bet on the river,
and I still called him down.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
So I lost that hand, the biggest uh.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
When I was going to have but I the guy
is so nice And when I give you you know
who it is, you'll understand why he's so nice that
I as he was about to do it, I knew
I just had him crushed. I said, don't do it,
and I turned my cards over to actually show him
that I had the stone cold winter. Was the chef
(23:21):
Jose Andreas, the guy who runs the the World Kitchen,
what's it called Mark.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
The I forget, but you got to give that guy
a break.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, he you know, he goes to all these places.
He goes to the earthquakes in Haiti, he goes to
the Middle East, in Gaza, he goes everywhere, and he
you know these in Puerto Rico after a hurricane. He
goes to all these places with his people. He's so
salt of the earth. And he was, you know, getting
ready that we'd been in this hand, and there's all
(23:49):
this sudden I just finally and I just turned over
my cards to show him. I said, don't do it. It
was like the last hand of the night. So no,
I can't remember any situation where I've taken down somebody
in a huge I mean, you know, I played cards
regularly with some some well known people who I've beaten
out of pods. But it's not like you know, like
(24:09):
Kevin Pollack and I play cards all the time and
you know that sort of thing.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
But I does he do random impersonations in the middle
of it.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
He is when he tells the story, he does the impressions,
which is so good, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, he's very entertaining. But you feel terrible if you
cleaned out Jose Andres.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
No exactly, I do not want to beat Jose Andres
that was the Yeah, exactly right. But the Keanu Reeves night,
it was unremarkable for the money changing hands and for
the poker, but I remember him being a very good guy.
And apparently he's still available ladies. So that is the word.
Mark Thompsons sitting in on Tuesday night. We're KFI AM
six forty live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. KFI
(24:44):
AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
Mark Thompson on Tuesday Night. We're drying out after a
good amount of rain and snow. But we're told now
just a couple of storms still rumbling around by daybreak
should pretty well be clearing out. Apparently the news is
coming out of Britney Spears Land, and you know, I
(25:06):
don't follow that beat. I have to toss it to
our Britney Spears correspondent, Nicki Nicky, please update us well.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
According to People magazine, her ex husband k fed aka
Kevin Federline said that she called her ex boyfriend justin
Timberlake the night before their wedding to ask if they
were finally over. So Kevin's I think he's come out
with a memoir and he's just kind of throwing daggers
(25:36):
at Brittany. And he's also claimed that their son said
that they woke up to her standing over them while
they were in bed and she had a knife in
her hand, so they literally the knives are still out
for Brittany.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Wow, these are pretty heavy duty allegations.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Justice for Brittany. She's been through a lot. Apparently she
should date Keanu.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I think, well, I think they seem like different types,
but maybe they could have like a Yin and a yang.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Well have you seen Keanuh's girlfriend, the one who was
a rumor too of married?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I have not. I wait a minute, I might have.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
She looked pretty Yeah, yeah, what straight?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Fine?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Kind of what basic?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Wait a minute, but I yeah, Please one at a time,
go ahead, Sam go.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I think she's beautiful.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
He's been with her for the longest time, and you
could tell that they are all about each other.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
She's gorgeous and Mark, how about you? I think basic
might be a bit much. I think there's nothing wrong
with her at all, and she's age appropriate and it's
not some gross leo thing with with somebody twenty years younger.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, she's kind of like the woman where like Keanu
Reeves is he's an icon, he's gorgeous, he's amazing. And
then you see that he's finally got this girlfriend who
has been with for a while, and a woman like
me looks at her and goes, you mean, I could
have had him this entire time.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I think so totally. I'm way here to the his girlfriend.
Let's just get that out.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well. I like that your self esteem is healthy.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
I suffer from high self esteem.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I think that's great. That's a that's not a bad
thing at all.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I do think that you should be giving him credit
for not going for some you know, shimmering, glimmering object
kind of woman.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Yes, she's in her fifties.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah, she's gone for someone age appropriate who's very attractive
and who you know, seems as though, apparently because they've
been together for a while, kind of the backbeat of
his world. Like you know, I think what you're suggesting
is that you know, she jumps on the that he
jump on the Britney Spears train, which is you know,
a bullet train to you know, maybe a couple of
(27:43):
stops that will land you in some awkward situation. He's
a man in his sixties. Now, I don't think he's
in for the Hollywood thrill ride. It might be another
way to put it.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You know.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Well, I mean I'm not in the Hollywood thriwl ride either,
and I'm in my forties.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
So he should dump her and date me.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I see.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
So this is really all about your desire to connect
with Keanu Reeves.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Always I love an older man.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Wow, well, this is really very good news for Keanu
Reeves should he decide to dance out of this latest relationship.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
And he has a connection with Australia. He filmed the
Matrix films there.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Oh that's right, he lived there. That would be a
good opener if you ever see him in a pharmacy.
Let me ask you what is her name? Alexandra Grant?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Is that her name?
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Yes, she's a visual artist and she's got white gray
white hair. She doesn't dye her hair like I do.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, I mean that's it's a good thing, isn't it
that she is who she is and she's comfortable with herself. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
It gives the rest of us clubs hope that we
can bag a stud like Keana.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
It just makes me feel like he's not shallow? Yeah,
can you not be? Can you get any nicer? Is
there anything else we can do?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Can he do?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Everything I've ever seen him do has been nothing but
kindness and honey and all kinds into sweetness dripping off
of them.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Well, who do you think is nicer them?
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Do you think Keanu or Dolly Parton is the nicer one?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Bubble wrap both of them? Yeah, they've never heard a
bad word about either one. Yeah, that's so true.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Anyone else as nice as those two?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I think they are? They ring the nice bell pretty
But yeah, I must say that there's been some pretty
nice celebrities also who bubble to the top of the
A list. I think never heard really anything bad about
George Clooney, for example, I've never heard anything.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I don't trust George Clooney.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Can you explain why? I just have to ask? But
you've never heard anything bad about him?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
I just got a bad feeding out, I got a
bad feeding I've had George Claney.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
That's it? Am I the artful dodge now? Am I?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah? I'm sorry. I don't do the impression very well.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
But anyway, well, given the fact that you don't trust
George Cliney, I'll keep them out of conversation. But back
to the point, both Jana Reeves and Dolly Parton. Yeah,
I think they ring the bell as national treasures. Let
me ask you what the situation is since you know
a lot about entertainment. With Dolly Parton, she was ill,
but is she not? Is she no longer struggling with
(30:14):
the illness?
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Well it was I think it was her sister who
came out and said prayers for Dolly. But then Dolly
came out and sort of calmed everybody and said, it's okay,
it's just a little thing.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
It's all right people. So she soothed us even if
she's had a little something that she needs to correct.
I don't know what it was.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I think it was kidney stone.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Kidneys, Well, no, that would be painful.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Painful, but not but survivable, you know, it's not some
one of those things. I saw her the day before
all of this blasted out. I saw her doing a
Instagram live. I think it was with Riba McIntyre. And
I had Thanksgiving with Reba McIntyre once and it was
(30:57):
and I really think Reba McIntyre's insanely talented, and so
Reba McIntyre caught my eye and again I just follow
on Instagram now and I'm not really in touch with
real McIntyre, but we have mutual friends that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But so that's what called me.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
So I was starting to watching that, and I started
watching her with this back and forth with Dolly Partner,
and they were kind of I think they were selling stuff.
Is that possible? They're selling like stuff from like an
Etsy equivalent. It seemed like they were like it was
either that or it was an interesting thing. It was
something commercial, and it was also like an ask me
(31:31):
anything type thing. Because Dolly Partner was very open about
a number of things. I wish I could remember what
a few of them were. But then the next day
the news broke that she's in some kind of health struggle,
and I'm thinking, I just saw her. I'm not even
a day ago. It was a live Instagram with Reba McIntyre.
They were taking live questions from the audience, and so
(31:51):
to hear that she was in a health struggle just
didn't seem to track. But the notion that she has
kidney stones, now it does make sense because that's a again,
that's not like some long battle with some disease.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
No.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Anyway, it apparently it caused an infection, but she's okay.
I think actually there's another celebrity who I think we
can add to the nice list, and this is this
one's out of left field post malone.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Oh, any thoughts on post malone Sam.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
I think he needs more longevity, I need more.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Wor Yeah, I think right, people, right, you have to
he's not road tested.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
I'm calling it now. He's one of the nice ones.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
All right.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Oh and Pamela Pamela Anderson, but she's Canadian, So okay.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
All right, you keep working on it, build the list out.
I will, all right. Mark Thompson sitting it. On Tuesday Night,
we're KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Mark Thompson sitting in on a wet, wet Tuesday night.
I mean, it's I guess the worst is passed from
what I'm seeing, but man, it was dropping for a while.
First major snows in the Sierra too. By the way,
it's really some heavy snow there. What is the latest, Mark,
I guess that it really is the fact that now
(00:32):
it's clearing skies.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's it'll be a refreshing morning as I'm is what
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I think we're just about the other end of it.
We might get a little bit more rain.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Tonight, some rogue showers, some sun tomorrow though, let's look
on the bright side. Yes, yeah, absolutely, the sun will
come out tomorrow. Annie was right. We have a lot
to get to. I had a celebrity experience sighting today,
(01:03):
and I mentioned it, not just because I had the
celebrity siding, which in itself is you know, we are
in Hollywood, you kind of bump into them, but because
I got up into my head a lot about it
before I had the encounter. I got up into my
own sort of neurotic insecurity about it. You know, like,
(01:24):
what do you say you do? You've everybody's had these
encounters and maybe it's an athlete or maybe it's a
screen star whatever, and you're going, okay now, and I
should I say, hey, I've been a fan since I
was a kid. Should I say you know, hey, I
saw you in whatever and you were really good? Or
do I identify myself in some way that sort of
(01:46):
lets the person know I'm in show business? Also, you're
not just some plea, not a civilian. I am in
your business, you see. So when you do that, you
have to do it in such a way where you're
not just you know, buffoonish about it. You know, you
(02:10):
may recognize me from Law and Order season eleven. I
mean you don't want to, you know, you want to
try to say something that is.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
That is cool.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
You may know me as the voice of cheaters, thank you,
like you know, you know, but even that, like you'd say,
you know, I'm Mark Thompson.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And then you if you're going to go with a
show business reference, what do you do? You say?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
You know you can't do anything well, Mark Thompson, what
have you done? And you'd say, well, you know KFI
radio and I'm on iHeart Radio. Maybe that's what you do,
because that's what you're doing now. You don't go maybe
you recognize my voice from American Idols. It's fourteen seasons
of that, When Good Times Go Bad, Season one, two, three,
(03:00):
four and five, When Good Pets Go Bad one, two, three,
four and five. Right, you don't you don't list your
resume for someone. I mean, you know, that would be funny.
That's the way you should do it as a sketch.
But in real life, it's going to be somebody. It's
taking baby steps away from you, So I'd leave all
that stuff out. I don't you know. I don't identify
(03:22):
myself in any way it's related.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I want to.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I want to say, hey, look I I have a
an ouvra. Also, I have, you know, a portfolio of
film and television appearances. Also, okay, I was in an
Aaron Sorkin movie maybe you've heard of him, Award winning writer,
The American President. I was in it with Richard Dreyfus.
(03:48):
I had to scene multiple scenes with him. I want
to say that. I want to I want to scream
my relevance because it's a celebrity, but of course I do.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It wouldn't be cool. So then I'm at the pharmacy.
That's where this happened. At the pharmacy, and he's got
his son with him. I'm thinking, you know, do you
want to I do you want to do a thing
(04:20):
with the it's awkward with the kid. You don't want to.
Like I'm telling you, I get up to of my
my head about this too much.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Just say hello, Just say hey, I'm a big fan.
That's what I should do. And by the way, that's
what I do a lot of the time. But this
one I had several different roads in. So the guy
I'm talking about is Ashton Kutcher. Okay, Now, Ashton Kutcher
(04:53):
is a celebrity for multiple things. Right he did. Of course,
he replaced Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Prior to that, he was in that seventies show, right
he was. Also, he's been in a bunch of movies.
You could tell me what movies, ron or that's your department.
I haven't seen a ton of Ashton Kutcher movies.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Dude, where's my car?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
My car is a big one. But I'm not going
to say, hey, loved you, and dude, where's my car?
I mean, that's like almost a put down, right, really, no,
I would be humbled by that. Actually, well, I just
don't think it's an opener, you know what I mean.
It may be something you'd throw in, like, hey, I
know it's weird to say this, but I always love dude,
where's my car? And I have dude, where's where my car?
Viewing parties in my house every year whatever. Then that
(05:44):
might be fun, but it's not an opener, it's my point.
So of course he did punks and he you know,
he was a you know, he's a model.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
He was married. Wasn't he married to me?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
More?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Or was he?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
He was?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
But he's presently married to me.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Lukuna ah right, Melacunas, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So I've
met Meelacunis.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I was good friends with a couple of the kids
on that seventies show. While that seventies show was on,
we were really good friends, and I would go down
and play cards on the set of that seventies show.
But I'd never met Ashton Kutcher, so I couldn't even
say because this is the good opener. Wow, it's been forever,
(06:29):
but we met on the set of that seventies show.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I was down there to play. Now.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Now you could just say that, but that's not what
I do. If it didn't actually happen, I'm not going
to just use it as an opener. So I'm standing
there and it's a little bit like I'm thinking in
my head. And this is where it's just awful to
be Mark Thompson, because you have this in your head.
You want to say the right thing. You want to
stick the landing. It's nothing, Mark, just say hello and
(06:55):
move on. What's a big deal. No, no, no, no, I
want this to go really well. So I'm standing there.
It's Ashton, it's his son, it's me at the pharmacy,
and we're just waiting.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And then for me it seems like forever is. I'm
reviewing what I might say, and when we come back,
I will tell you what my opener was. And then
I followed my opener. This is really the high wire act.
When you follow the.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Opener, you exchange pleasantries, you've shaken hands, you've acknowledged the sun,
and then you go back. You go back for another sortie.
That is the high wire act. And that did happen,
And I will tell you what I went back with.
I'll give you the whole transcript when we come back.
(07:57):
And I think it went well, I'll tell you how
I think it went when we come back. It's KFI
AM six forty, Mark Thompson sitting in on a wet
Tuesday night. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Lou
Penrose buried under that DiAngelo music?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
What was that? Sam?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I don't know what. It's sad. Di Angelo passing away?
Young person too? Was he fifty one? Is that what
it was?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Sam? Yeah, passed away. Pancreatic cancer.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
It's just fortunate.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Brutal cancer too. I mean it's all awful, but pancreatic
cancer supposally be particularly terrible. Really really sad.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But and I just you know, fifty one, it's just
insanely young, really insanely young.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I was texting, this is really grim. I'm sorry to
get off on this nowhere.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
He started with, it's your fault, Sam, because you played
the di Angelo and he just passed away.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It was just texting with my friend who's got days
to live.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Sad back and he has cancer also, he's been but
I'll tell you something was really cool about I saw
a year and a half ago.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
He lives back east. He came, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We're meeting on the campus of UCLA, and and he
as we walked toward each other, he beat his chest
and he said, fifty two rounds of chemo. And I'm
still going Mark. It was just great. He's that kind
of guy. But uh, you know, cancer is just brutal.
(09:21):
And I was just texting him and sort of at
the end, everybody's texting and calling, of course, but sad,
sad stuff. Man, when young people pass away and then
DiAngelo is one of them, fifty one years old. This
is KFIAM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
I'm Mark Thompson. I'm here to bum you out tonight,
gonna tell stories about people passing away. I'm sure we
(09:44):
have other celebrity obits we could share with you.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
You know DiAngelo's wife, Angie Stone, she's an RMB sing.
She also passed away recently, my god, leaving their child
an orphan.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Oh my god, I'm going to bum everyone out.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Nicky a very strong with bummage tonight coming in over
the top. So we have DiAngelo. I come in with
my friend who's passing away in days. But you come
over the top, you say, I'll see those two, and
I'll raise.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You the fact that his wife all.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Also passed away, leaving the child parentless.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
She I think she died in a car accident. Sad.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
All right, Well, Nicky set the bar very high for
us tonight in terms of bumming people out, but we'll
try to get to it. Meantime, on the other side
of town, I will finish my celebrity brush story. If
you'll remember from before the break, I'm in a pharmacy,
(10:49):
my regular pharmacy. I was there to get an inoculation today.
And as I wait for them to prepare the syringe
and the procedure and everything they've got to do, I
spy a tall fellow wearing a Chicago Bears jacket and
(11:09):
it's Ashton Kutcher, and he's with his son, and I thought,
oh my god, I know some of the same people
that he used to work with on the set of
that seventies show.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
And I'll mention one of them to him.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Now, this is after I've checked off, as I was
telling you, against all of these other things, like just
say Hey, don't say anything at all, don't bother him whatever.
But we're just it's awkward almost because it's just us
waiting there by the counter, he and his son and me.
In a way, it would be almost rude not to
(11:47):
say something. He's a celebrity, So I go for this.
Among the choices like do I reference something that I've
been in show business to say, hey, you know I'm
show business adjacent, I'm one of you. Do I go
with some project that maybe we both worked on if
(12:09):
I could remember that. But I hadn't been able to
come up with anything like that, and so I went
with the I think very strong play. It's a real
good one if you are approaching a celebrity and you
want to say hello, it's the mutual friend reference.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So I went with Ashton. Hey.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I introduced myself. I said we were a good friend,
and I mentioned one of the people on that seventies
show as a friend of mine, and he said, oh
my gosh, that's so great. Please say hi to her
when you speak to her again. So now in his response,
I'm trying to tweak my radar to see if we're
(12:55):
having a conversation right now, or if he's kissing me off.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You know, I have to be honest.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I felt a little kiss offfish from him, and I'm
wondering is it because of his son? I said, oh,
this is your this is your son. Hello, nice to
see you, sir. I said, well, how old did the
sun look? He's I'm going to say eight, okay, so
too young for you to say something like, hey, kid,
the magnums are in that aisle. Wow. Wow, that is
(13:26):
so out of line. No, no, no. If he had
been a little bit older, that would have been cool.
Bo is that right at that age?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
How old?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
How old do you have to be for you that
to be cool? I'm saying thirteen or fourteen?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No, no, twelve, no no, no, no, no, no no,
And well you'd never get that from me.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I don't have that move. But no, he was in
the cute young kid stage. So again, now I kind
of just back away, you know what I mean. Well,
it's great seeing you, you know what I mean. And
then I go sit and wait, and I'm waiting at
the back of the pharmacy. So now we're not in
the same physical space. But I say, I text my
(14:08):
other half and I say, yeah, it's so cool. I'm
waiting in the pharmacy. I'm getting my shot my vacs.
I'm and I bumped into Ashton Kutcher and she says, oh,
are cleaners? The guy who delivers the cleaning to the house.
Loves him, won't stop talking about him every time, so
(14:31):
I know it's odd. So now I go in when
he comes back because he's walking around the store with
his son. He comes back into my space and I
hit him with what, Hey, by the way, do you
know Max the cleaner? And he says no, I don't know.
(14:56):
And I'm thinking I wouldn't even my da. In fact,
a wife forced me to mention this and I said, no,
the guy who cleans the clothes. He says, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
I do know him. And now I think I'm back
on the game. Okay, I'm back in the game with him.
And I'm thinking, though, dude, just shut up already and
let this guy be in there. And then he says,
(15:18):
I think the conversation's over, right. I'm thinking we've screwed
this up. He's kind of acknowledged it. Then he says
to me, he does a really nice job. I'm thinking, oh,
maybe the conversation's back on with Ashton mixed signals for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I can't figure this out. And then he says one
other thing like, never has screwed anything up of mine.
I'll say that somebody like that. I'm thinking, well, maybe
he's is he trying? Is he trying to reach out
to me right now?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'm scrambling to really find magnetic north on this. And
I believe I said maybe one other thing to him. Oh,
I think I just said though. Then I got my
shot on.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The way and I've said hey, you see you again soon,
And that was it. It was, in my mind, a
first date that went very well, I thought, but had
some confusing cross currents.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
What did you want out of the exchange? Thank you?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
That's what I was asking myself. I wanted to I
wanted a really warm exchange with somebody who I felt
was like a neighbor acknowledgement, Yes, yeah, you know, I
may wanted to feel seen. Yeah, And I thought to
be honest and fair to him. I thought he did
a pretty good job. I think I was the one
who's I'm so spring loaded for rejection that I think
(16:35):
I was overthinking it and just interpreting everything in a
negative way. If I had just gone with kind of
some confidence, I think that's what you take away from
this story.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Confidence own it.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
But I was in that place where I both didn't
want to be that guy, but I also felt like, oh,
I'm you know, I've got something to connect with with
this guy. And we're just standing here in the pharmacy
and it's just the two of us. Did you notice
what he was buying? I did not, because I could
have gone any number of directions. Yeah, that's again. I
(17:10):
try I try to. I try to mind my own
my own business, apecially in a pharmacy. Yeah right, exactly right, right, right, Wow,
you have that too. I had that condition a couple
of years ago, right, That lotion will take care of it.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, yeah, uh all right. That's my look.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
The story is four hours old and you're the only
people I'm telling about it.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
So there it is. That's a wrap on the on
the Ashton story.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Mark Thompson Sitting on a Tuesday night, a wet Tuesday
night in Los Angeles where KFI AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Into the night, a wet Tuesday, as we're drying out
in southern California and KFI AM six forty live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app Mark Thompson sitting in on this
Tuesday night, and I'll tell you they the rumors are hot.
I didn't realize it. He's never been married before, and
he is a man, and this is something else I
(18:12):
didn't realize. Who's he's over sixty years old, Keanu reeves.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
He looks good.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah, I don't think of him as someone who he's
sixty one and there are rumors that he's going to
be married. Do you know anything about this, Nikki. I
feel like you're more tied to the world of entertainment
than I am.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
H Yeah, he was speaking to E News and he
basically said that he is yet to walk down the aisle,
but he he thinks I guess he thinks.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
The rumors acute. But he's still a non married stud.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
His words are yours, my words.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
I represent all women. He's up there with Dolly Potton.
I feel in terms of a national treasure.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Oh, that's really cool of you to say. I mean,
I'm sure you know he was not born in this country.
You're aware of that.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Right, yeah, but he is America now even though he
was born in Canada.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He was born actually in Beirut.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Let ye, He's lived in Australia. He's a man of
the globe.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
He is well listened to Nicky's he really is into them.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And Keanu Reeves, who isn't He's an icon?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
He was raised in Canada, It's true. And when you
think back on everything he's done, I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's the matrix. Is that the isn't that it? Mark?
That would be your thing? I'm sure. Oh yeah, that
was a big one when it came out. But I mean,
isn't that when you when I say Keanu Reeves, isn't
that what you go to? I go to John Wick?
Oh you do? Go?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Mean I might be a borderline sociopath, but I like
the Wick movies.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I like Dracula. Oh, come on, come on, Dracula.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Why didn't you just say the Shakespeare one? While you're
at it? Which one? What Shakespeare movie was he in?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Oh? Wasn't he in much? Do about nothing?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Wow? That's great knowledge. I didn't even know he was
in that.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I don't think those two movies played to his strengths.
The Whig movies. He doesn't say a lot, but he
commits a lot of violence, and I think that's about right, Billy.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
He's a good action Bill and Ted was his strength.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Bill and Ted was huge. That was back in the.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Eighties nineties actually as well.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
That's right. There was a Sweet sequel and that was
in the nineties, and.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Then there was recent one during COVID and I loved
that one, and the newest one he made.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, you're right, they made a like a much later sequel.
He made a lot of really smart decisions, Keanu Reeves
did about his career when I'm just thinking about you know,
he did Point Break. Remember he was in Point Break.
That was huge.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
That's the best, right, that's the iconic.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
And then right after that, this is again in the nineties,
he was in Speed with Sandra Bullock. I mean, these
are really big movies. And it's not like he did
clunkers in between. He was pretty good at I think,
picking projects.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
And he did one with Diane Keaton, right.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
And and what was it? Yeah, dank it was it
called Something's Got to Give? Was that it?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I think that's it?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's and really those are two virtuoso actors
working in a project like that, you know. But yeah,
but the matrix you're right in john Wick super actiony.
And it's interesting too that, you know, kind of what
Nicky's alluding to or hinting at. At sixty one, he's
(21:33):
still got it, like, you know, he's still got that
sex appeal. Really impressive, really really impressive. I played cards
with him once in West Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Oh can I come next?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
In a private card?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Well it was was long time, twenty years ago, so
they haven't had another game that I know of.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
But he was very nice. So what kind of cards
are we talking about here? Poker?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I would guess he's good at bluffing. I don't remember
him being good or bad. I just thought, oh he was.
He was very nice, you know. Not A poker is
great for that. It, you know, puts you in a
mix with people you might not otherwise have a mix with.
You know, I played with Leonardo DiCaprio a couple of times.
Look at this, Yeah, I mean, but again, it's not like,
(22:19):
you know, you don't sit there and go, hey, listen.
When you were shooting Titanic, I heard that, you know,
you don't you just don't do that, right that wouldn't
be cool. Yeah, you wouldn't be good. So you're kind
of and you're all just kind of playing cards and
you know doing.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Did you ever have any really big poker wins against
any celebrity, like any memorable like you know we're going
head in?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Uh, no, funny at each other.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It's funny you asked that question because I actually remember
a hand that I called him on Leo DiCaprio and
he had a queen high flush and I called him
and called him a flush hit the river, a possible flush,
and I still commit a big bet on the river,
and I still called him down.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
So I lost that hand, the biggest uh.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
When I was going to have but I the guy
is so nice And when I give you you know
who it is, you'll understand why he's so nice that
I as he was about to do it, I knew
I just had him crushed. I said, don't do it,
and I turned my cards over to actually show him
that I had the stone cold winter. Was the chef
(23:21):
Jose Andreas, the guy who runs the the World Kitchen,
what's it called Mark.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
The I forget, but you got to give that guy
a break.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, he you know, he goes to all these places.
He goes to the earthquakes in Haiti, he goes to
the Middle East, in Gaza, he goes everywhere, and he
you know these in Puerto Rico after a hurricane. He
goes to all these places with his people. He's so
salt of the earth. And he was, you know, getting
ready that we'd been in this hand, and there's all
(23:49):
this sudden I just finally and I just turned over
my cards to show him. I said, don't do it. It
was like the last hand of the night. So no,
I can't remember any situation where I've taken down somebody
in a huge I mean, you know, I played cards
regularly with some some well known people who I've beaten
out of pods. But it's not like you know, like
(24:09):
Kevin Pollack and I play cards all the time and
you know that sort of thing.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
But I does he do random impersonations in the middle
of it.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
He is when he tells the story, he does the impressions,
which is so good, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, he's very entertaining. But you feel terrible if you
cleaned out Jose Andres.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
No exactly, I do not want to beat Jose Andres
that was the Yeah, exactly right. But the Keanu Reeves night,
it was unremarkable for the money changing hands and for
the poker, but I remember him being a very good guy.
And apparently he's still available ladies. So that is the word.
Mark Thompsons sitting in on Tuesday night. We're KFI AM
six forty live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. KFI
(24:44):
AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
Mark Thompson on Tuesday Night. We're drying out after a
good amount of rain and snow. But we're told now
just a couple of storms still rumbling around by daybreak
should pretty well be clearing out. Apparently the news is
coming out of Britney Spears Land, and you know, I
(25:06):
don't follow that beat. I have to toss it to
our Britney Spears correspondent, Nicki Nicky, please update us well.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
According to People magazine, her ex husband k fed aka
Kevin Federline said that she called her ex boyfriend justin
Timberlake the night before their wedding to ask if they
were finally over. So Kevin's I think he's come out
with a memoir and he's just kind of throwing daggers
(25:36):
at Brittany. And he's also claimed that their son said
that they woke up to her standing over them while
they were in bed and she had a knife in
her hand, so they literally the knives are still out
for Brittany.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Wow, these are pretty heavy duty allegations.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Justice for Brittany. She's been through a lot. Apparently she
should date Keanu.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I think, well, I think they seem like different types,
but maybe they could have like a Yin and a yang.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Well have you seen Keanuh's girlfriend, the one who was
a rumor too of married?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I have not. I wait a minute, I might have.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
She looked pretty Yeah, yeah, what straight?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Fine?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Kind of what basic?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Wait a minute, but I yeah, Please one at a time,
go ahead, Sam go.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I think she's beautiful.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
He's been with her for the longest time, and you
could tell that they are all about each other.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
She's gorgeous and Mark, how about you? I think basic
might be a bit much. I think there's nothing wrong
with her at all, and she's age appropriate and it's
not some gross leo thing with with somebody twenty years younger.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, she's kind of like the woman where like Keanu
Reeves is he's an icon, he's gorgeous, he's amazing. And
then you see that he's finally got this girlfriend who
has been with for a while, and a woman like
me looks at her and goes, you mean, I could
have had him this entire time.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I think so totally. I'm way here to the his girlfriend.
Let's just get that out.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well. I like that your self esteem is healthy.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
I suffer from high self esteem.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I think that's great. That's a that's not a bad
thing at all.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I do think that you should be giving him credit
for not going for some you know, shimmering, glimmering object
kind of woman.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Yes, she's in her fifties.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah, she's gone for someone age appropriate who's very attractive
and who you know, seems as though, apparently because they've
been together for a while, kind of the backbeat of
his world. Like you know, I think what you're suggesting
is that you know, she jumps on the that he
jump on the Britney Spears train, which is you know,
a bullet train to you know, maybe a couple of
(27:43):
stops that will land you in some awkward situation. He's
a man in his sixties. Now, I don't think he's
in for the Hollywood thrill ride. It might be another
way to put it.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You know.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Well, I mean I'm not in the Hollywood thriwl ride either,
and I'm in my forties.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
So he should dump her and date me.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I see.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
So this is really all about your desire to connect
with Keanu Reeves.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Always I love an older man.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Wow, well, this is really very good news for Keanu
Reeves should he decide to dance out of this latest relationship.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
And he has a connection with Australia. He filmed the
Matrix films there.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Oh that's right, he lived there. That would be a
good opener if you ever see him in a pharmacy.
Let me ask you what is her name? Alexandra Grant?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Is that her name?
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Yes, she's a visual artist and she's got white gray
white hair. She doesn't dye her hair like I do.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, I mean that's it's a good thing, isn't it
that she is who she is and she's comfortable with herself. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
It gives the rest of us clubs hope that we
can bag a stud like Keana.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
It just makes me feel like he's not shallow? Yeah,
can you not be? Can you get any nicer? Is
there anything else we can do?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Can he do?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Everything I've ever seen him do has been nothing but
kindness and honey and all kinds into sweetness dripping off
of them.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Well, who do you think is nicer them?
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Do you think Keanu or Dolly Parton is the nicer one?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Bubble wrap both of them? Yeah, they've never heard a
bad word about either one. Yeah, that's so true.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Anyone else as nice as those two?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I think they are? They ring the nice bell pretty
But yeah, I must say that there's been some pretty
nice celebrities also who bubble to the top of the
A list. I think never heard really anything bad about
George Clooney, for example, I've never heard anything.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I don't trust George Clooney.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Can you explain why? I just have to ask? But
you've never heard anything bad about him?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
I just got a bad feeding out, I got a
bad feeding I've had George Claney.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
That's it? Am I the artful dodge now? Am I?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah? I'm sorry. I don't do the impression very well.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
But anyway, well, given the fact that you don't trust
George Cliney, I'll keep them out of conversation. But back
to the point, both Jana Reeves and Dolly Parton. Yeah,
I think they ring the bell as national treasures. Let
me ask you what the situation is since you know
a lot about entertainment. With Dolly Parton, she was ill,
but is she not? Is she no longer struggling with
(30:14):
the illness?
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Well it was I think it was her sister who
came out and said prayers for Dolly. But then Dolly
came out and sort of calmed everybody and said, it's okay,
it's just a little thing.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
It's all right people. So she soothed us even if
she's had a little something that she needs to correct.
I don't know what it was.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I think it was kidney stone.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Kidneys, Well, no, that would be painful.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Painful, but not but survivable, you know, it's not some
one of those things. I saw her the day before
all of this blasted out. I saw her doing a
Instagram live. I think it was with Riba McIntyre. And
I had Thanksgiving with Reba McIntyre once and it was
(30:57):
and I really think Reba McIntyre's insanely talented, and so
Reba McIntyre caught my eye and again I just follow
on Instagram now and I'm not really in touch with
real McIntyre, but we have mutual friends that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But so that's what called me.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
So I was starting to watching that, and I started
watching her with this back and forth with Dolly Partner,
and they were kind of I think they were selling stuff.
Is that possible? They're selling like stuff from like an
Etsy equivalent. It seemed like they were like it was
either that or it was an interesting thing. It was
something commercial, and it was also like an ask me
(31:31):
anything type thing. Because Dolly Partner was very open about
a number of things. I wish I could remember what
a few of them were. But then the next day
the news broke that she's in some kind of health struggle,
and I'm thinking, I just saw her. I'm not even
a day ago. It was a live Instagram with Reba McIntyre.
They were taking live questions from the audience, and so
(31:51):
to hear that she was in a health struggle just
didn't seem to track. But the notion that she has
kidney stones, now it does make sense because that's a again,
that's not like some long battle with some disease.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
No.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Anyway, it apparently it caused an infection, but she's okay.
I think actually there's another celebrity who I think we
can add to the nice list, and this is this
one's out of left field post malone.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Oh, any thoughts on post malone Sam.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
I think he needs more longevity, I need more.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Wor Yeah, I think right, people, right, you have to
he's not road tested.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
I'm calling it now. He's one of the nice ones.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
All right.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Oh and Pamela Pamela Anderson, but she's Canadian, So okay.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
All right, you keep working on it, build the list out.
I will, all right. Mark Thompson sitting it. On Tuesday Night,
we're KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
