Well, I don't know the answer. You're trying to I know,
you know. I don't know the answer.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
So you're trying to embarrass me publicly to let it happen.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Maybe maybe I know that you don't know what time
to be there.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, I don't know. I might not even go. I

How are you doing?
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I cuss more on this drive in here on Tuesday
mornings than probably any other day of the week.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I don't know if we believe that, but okay, that's
what you if, that's what you're selling.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay, golf.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I don't cuss on the golf course.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well sometimes I do, but with the kid there, you
don't inappropriate stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, it happens.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
People, people, Are you? Are you incase?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
This is this is our last Tuesday that where there
will be weeks?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Well yeah for two weeks. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Uh so are you out of town or what are
you doing for the holidays?
Speaker 8 (02:54):
We always fly on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Day to escape it.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I'll be driving. I'm actually be driving on Christmas. We're
driving to New Orleans and I've never driven on Christmas Day.
I wonder if so on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Day will be on Christmas Day is the best day
of the year because no one's there, it's very few. Yeah,
you had like a plane mostly to yourself. It's it's
normally not full.
Speaker 9 (03:16):
And then you get your gas at an offbeat seven eleven.
Little thing you know on it up there and there's
a lonely person behind.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
The camp for people working.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I do feel bad for the people having to work,
but I've had to work many Christmas is so yeah,
just part of the world, right.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
There's just a bunch of slop.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I heard cool cool guys use that word, and they
use it all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So what's ruin it for you? Are we trying to
catch any bad guys?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Tell you something good?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
So we have a board meeting tomorrow morning with my
executive board to do rewards and stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
And bard board.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I was amazed at the kind of tips we have going.
We had a tip that came in that identified a
family member who was sexually abusing a fourteen year old.
We have two tips that are involved in homicide. One
helped solve a homicide, the other one found a guy
wanted for homicide.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh I.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
We here's a really cool one.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You ever watch?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I don't know if it happens, it comes to my
social media feed for some reason. Those guys that are
out there searching for missing people in lakes and they're
doing the water sonar or radar whatever that is, right,
they're finding cars and people and stuff. We didn't find
a body, but we found a stolen car. A tip
came in with a location of a vehicle stolen from
another county in a lake in Lake County.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
So I would say this is probably the most unusual
month of tips that we've had come in, right with
a couple homicides, you know, that sexual battery situation, with.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Us getting murderers off the street, and.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Gain that other situation.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Think about how ugly that poor I mean, that life,
that child was Lee, you know, and tell we were
able to get some help for that family.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
So good month for us.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I like what I'm saying there.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's the good work that Crimeline does.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You know, we've been supporting Crimeline for ever and it's
just helping get bad guys off the street.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And then sometimes for Thanksgiving, we didn't talk to you
about this. Did Did we have any people at Thanksgiving
dinner get get taken away?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I'll have to look and see if that was on
those dates, but I know that week we had a
number of arrest mate.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Oh yeah, so let's get ready for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So you have to explain to Jeff because if they're
if they're sitting there and you got a family member
that's got a warrant out against them, and let's say
you don't like them, or.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
You want more food, call us and we'll take them
from the family dinner table.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Awesome, I'm happy to do that.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
You got a warrant, we're gonna come talk to you.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
If you're a police officer and you're picking up somebody
at a family dinner, would it be rude to like like, hey, yeah,
I don't think we're going to be doing that, but okay, but.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
You know that is it is what it is. With
the warrant, you committed the crime. Yeah, we're gonna come
get you.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We just knew where you were going to be.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
What you were doing today to a cock family meal.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Do they say Merry Christmas or most of the officers do, Yeah,
Merry Christmas. You're coming to jail.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Sorry, sorry, sorry for you.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And this is like the is it the sixth year angel,
the sixth year in the road that we that we
have not caught the ladies that stole there.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Still missing, the dang eagle, the.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Eagle that's just still missing.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Those drunks, those drunk girls on their fancy clothes are gone.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't know the Christmas reads. Is it over six years?
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (06:30):
I think it is.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Yeah, long than that.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
This just stolen from you, from you.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
No, it's onco Beach down to It was on video
these girls stealing this big wreath and to take the
barber one to grab them.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So, man, whatever happened to the video?
Speaker 9 (06:43):
Ryan?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Can you help us.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Video of the of the reef? I never before?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
That was before before Ryan. Yeah, it's a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So is there a statue of limitation if you steal
my world?
Speaker 5 (07:00):
That probably has legally, but not in my world. I'm
an idea though.
Speaker 9 (07:03):
Well, what's a connection to the wreath that has you
so fired up?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Is Christmas?
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Stupid?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Drunk women dressed in nice clothes taking a reef off
of a business.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It was huge, too expensive, buss not yours. Don't take it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Stupid, it's against the law.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
Well, if you go downtown on a on a Friday
or a Saturday, you'll see tons of drunk women in
nice dresses, you will. Yeah, so just pick one of them.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
And these weren't even really young. They were, you know,
twenty thirty.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, probably got children at home, right, stupid. So let's
talk about one other thing. Safety safety during the holidays, right, Okay,
put your packages in your trunk or out of sight.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Yeah, you see people all the time.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You've got an armful of stuff, you put it in
the car because you're going back to get more stuff,
and they just set it in the back seat. Or
ladies will leave their purse sitting there because they've grabbed
their wallet and they figure, well, i've got you know
what the thieves want.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
Well, the thieves don't know that.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
They see your purse sitting there, right, So you need
to put every out of view and make sure it's
locked up. Pay attention to your surroundings because this is
a time. It's not unusual to have people follow you
around in the parking lot and be grabbing and stuff
like that. So just be aware and we all get
lost in all this mess. Right.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Are there a lot? Are there a lot of porch
pirates still this year?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Have you seen the young ones? There's been a bunch
of them out there with young kids thinking this is funny.
We're going to go get all our neighbors boxes and stuff. Yeah,
it's happening. So if you know them, that's a five
hundred dollars reward if you can help buy.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
So if you catch like an eight year old taking
boxes off there.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
These aren't eight.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
These are more in the fourteen to sixteen, seventeen years.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So if you're fourteen and sixty that you're going to,
you're going to you're a thief. You're a thief. They well,
they don't got like real jail for you though, where
they If you're fourteen, what do they send you to?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Juvie juvie and you're going to go home to your parents?
But do you really need that now in your history?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah? You know.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
What we talked about this several weeks ago is that
as officers, you want people to report the if someone
stole your stuff instead of just calling hey, Amazon sent
me another one that was taken you, you want it
to be reported to the police.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
That way, they know to look in that area for this, they.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Know about the problem because more than likely that's not
their only package they've stolen and ur first time of
doing it. So we just need to stop. That's the
way we all shop today. I mean, how mad would
you be if you were expecting something at your door
and does come.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I'm to ask you like a behind the scenes police
officer question.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Okay, no, so Rob.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Briiner his wife were murdered by their son right And
it seemed like the police right away know that it's
the sun. Why did they stop and take so long
before they make like official statements like that, what's the
logic behind that?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Well, you know, you don't want to go out and
accuse people if you don't have probable cause for an arrest.
So that's just.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Yeah, because it was like like TMZ like all day
yesterday is like TMZ reported, people reported, but the actual
police department they're like, oh, he's a person of interest,
and and like it's is it.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
You need to have probable cause before you're identifying a
suspect nether orage. You need to have the ability to
put handcuffs on them, before you're saying that's the person
that we're going to arrest.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
And it's just, you know, it's like that there's.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
't a person.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Status also change when they're they're officially charged. At that point,
then they're probably retaining attorneys. They don't have to talk
to you. So if you're in custody and you're a
person of interest and they have you and they're just
and they're talking to you, they're interrogating you and they're
and they're able to get you to have a conversation
and you haven't requested an attorney and you haven't done
then all that stuff goes to building a case against you.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You can keep yeah, as long as you're still talking.
That's all different with you know, having your rights read
to you and stuff like that. But that'll never change
the fact that they didn't point fingers.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Out at him.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I think maybe the nine to one one call initially
came in and even said you need to look at
so and so, but you can't.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
You don't publish that.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
That's one of the bigger problems with criminal cases today
because way too much information gets out there and can
be damaging to the actual investigation.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
There's just certain.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Things that only those close to the case should know
while you're working through the physical evidence and the witnesses
and stuff like that to put together a good, strong
probable cause so that you can actually put bracelet and
you do.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Like the rest of day and yesterday, he's like sees
all these family photos and he's like he's and he
would look at this everybody's having fun and smiling, and
he'd be like, this guy's making a weird face and
you can tell he's.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Different when you like when you're like around like.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Somebody that's murdered somebody is there is there a vibe
to them or can they fully come off like like
that I didn't do it, but then you find out
later that absolutely did.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
There has to be like some kind of tale.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Oh there's not.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
There's some pretty good liars.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Really and you were just glumbo can figure him out?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
How many years were you in an hour? You were
to take a how ten and a half years in homicide?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Ten and a half years of homicide? So so this
is your I mean, this is your wheelhouse, you know. Uh.
The first thing you think of is you got to
think it's a family member, right is it?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Normally that's where you first look, especially in a if
you listen to what's if all of it's true, how
violent this was, and how personal it was looking at
things like being stabbed, and there's some other things that
I don't know if it's toe or not, So I'm
not gonna say it, but the violence, the personalness of
the violence going on, you start looking there first, right
to try and eliminate all those and you do it.
(12:14):
In most cases, you're going to eliminate all those closest
to them, and then you start coming down this list
of potential suspects. So you get down to.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
And I imagine in LA it was probably fairly well
known in the circles that the son had problems.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Oh, I think it was published that he had some
addiction problems.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
The night before he was at a party. It was.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Bryan's house, and he got into a big fight with
them at the house.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, so I'm going to stab y'all. Well, he said that.
But I'm just it's horrible.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I mean, you know, you have the whole mental health
situation there too. Obviously I haven't seen that movie, but
obviously that movie had something to do that was what
their family was like, right, But now you've got two dad,
a whole family has to deal with us. And it
was a family member who committed the crime. Yeah, you know,
it happens frequently. And yeah, and and mental health. I'm
(13:12):
just you know this, our mental health problems in this
country are horrid. And I don't see this doing a
whole lot about it.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You know, he had, I mean years and years of
mental health issues, you know, And and it's it's not
like they didn't address him. He I guess he was
in and out of rehab seventeen times, some crazy amount.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
So homelessness as well, was that he was homeless for
quite some time as well.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, as he was working through his addictions and.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He was living with his parents.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
If you take drugs out of a society bybe well,
where does the crime late drop?
Speaker 8 (13:44):
It drops that much. I think you got to do
more about the mental health.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yeah, I mean, you know, people are not mentally healthy
with or without the drugs. They're still going to do
the things they're doing, especially some of these violent crimes.
So and we have to start early because we talked
about this speak out. It just amazes me the volume
of tips that we come in the three counties that
participate with us. Yeah, and the mental health tips we take.
(14:10):
Kids talking about wanting to harm themselves. Well, in some
cases that goes a step further. They're gonna harm others,
you know, as they move on if they don't get help.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah, So it's.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I don't know, it's not it's not good right now
in the mental health world in our country.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, all right, well, it's a take the BARB crime line.
I remember the number is one eight hundred four to
two three tips. If you see something, you see a porch,
pirates taking something or or anything like that, or your.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Uncle comes to dinner, Nah, no warrant.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You know you can you can cash in uncle shifty.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It's one eight hundred and four to three tips. Have
a great holiday to take.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Thank you for everything.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
We'll see you next next year. All right, we'll take
a little break. We come back, we'll talk to Mark Merrow.

you did speak to so many schools here in Central Florida.
I still have young guys who are like, oh, yeah,
I remember Mark. He came to my school and and
and remember when it first started, you know, when you
and I went to I think it was like Late
Brandtley or something. You had just started doing it. Yeah,
(17:21):

said I was from Edgewater High School and this was
at Lake Brandley. And they start booing, and I'm like, well,

Nineteen years later, I still remember that day.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well we learned something that day. I
don't bring up another school, but you've grown that. I'm like,
how many schools and how many kids have you talked
to and explained to the audience that might not know
what you what the message is.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Well, you know, we talked kids about relevant issues, you know, depression, anxiety, bullying,
taking action towards goal and living there their most victorious life.
And this is my nineteenth year speaking. And you know,
up until the pandemic, we averaged two hundred and thirty
a year.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
And then the pandemic came. We were off for those
two years doing virtual events. And now I come back
and because of you know, obviously being engaged and married,
I really slowed down. I only do about one hundred events,
which seems like a lot to a.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Lot of people.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Lot.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
I do about one hundred events a year, and I
will and I'm actually working out a deal to come
to Saint Cloud High School and I would love to
get together with you guys again and see everybody. But
if any schools are listening right now, we're going to
be doing other schools in the Orlando area, So please
go to our website, think Pause and posespoz dot org,
(18:44):
thinkpas dot org and we would love to schedule some schools.
We got some grant money and it's just been Russ.
I can't say that next year will be my twentieth year.
And if someone told me back when Russ introduced me,
they booed me out of the building. Still be doing it,
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
And what you're not saying for that many listeners to
know is that I've been with Mark before when he's
going through letters and stuff and the kids, you know,
young people, young kids compelled to write you a letter
and say, hey, I was thinking about committing suicide. And
because I saw your program, I didn't like like letter
after a letter after letter. I mean, if you had
(19:21):
to put a number to how many kids told you
they didn't kill themselves because they saw your presentation?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
How many? How many letters do you think that would be?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
You know, Russ over the years, I still get him today.
You know, it's amazing because have been doing this for
so long. We got so many kids that saw many
years ago that I finally opened up and talked about it,
right because someone they know is going through an issue
or something and they'll say, Mark, you know back in
you know, two thy sixteen, you know you can do
whatever school and man just touched my heart. I was
going to end my life that day or something you know,
(19:55):
just crazy like that that I read and I'm just
like so blessed to do that. But you know what
was on the other side. We have so many kids
are now, whether they're professional athletes. I just got a
letter recently. I got to share this with you. Pete Vergos.
He's a kid that saw me. His dad took him.
His dad's named Demetrius Veregos. They took him to one
of my events. And I used to set out with
(20:15):
goal setting cars and tell kids write their goals and
dreams into existence, so put it somewhere you have to
see it, whether it's on the refrigerator, in your bedroom.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Wall, whatever.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Well, this little kid, at ten years old wrote I
want to be a pro bowler, right, So his dad
put it up on the refrigerator and he saw it
every day. By the time he was fourteen years old,
he had forty eight three hundred games. This year he
was named PBA Rookie of the Year on tour and
he's like came in twelfth and the Masters or something
(20:43):
crazy like that. But all from seeing that presentation where
he believed in his dreams and goals and we're all
capable of that. We're never too late to we after
dreams and goals, and you know some of my biggest
ones are still ahead of me. Russ. I just I'll
never retire. I'll just refire.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You still got that John to be bad and you
don't do.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Hey, I want to ask you about I want to
I want to ask you about that because I went
through this the beginning of the year, right, So I
moved mary Ellen and I moved to another house. And
when I moved to the other house, there's a lot
of like Memorabilian stuff and kiss stuff or whatever that
I got rid of.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And then everybody was like, oh, mary Ellen made you
get rid of that stuff, which was not the case.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I just decided that, like you know, listen, this doesn't
fit in the new life kind of thing. And then
I saw online where you're you got rid of or
trying to get rid of a lot of your memorabilia,
and I saw people coming at you like the same way, like, oh,
the new wife is making you get rid of stuff.
Set the record straight, Mark, was that your decision is
that the you know, is that her decision? What's happening
(21:45):
with your memorabilia?
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Russ I am so glad you brought that up because
I have obviously would get in the data on social media.
With that way, I saw that it's my wife that
must to get rid of this. She loved that stuff. Man,
She would go through looking at that Nobili and ask
me questions about it and stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You know, But it Russ, you.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
Know, it's it's memories. They live in my heart. I
don't need a plaque on the wall or a picture
to remind me of it.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You know.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
There were certain things that I will I will keep,
you know, that's that that really need a lot. But
most of that stuff, for Russ, it becomes stuff after
a while. I mean it was great, you know when
we had the gym, we had the memorabilia walls and yeah,
and people that worked out there would go and see
it and stuff. It was cool. But you know what
I don't need in my in my life and I'm
(22:28):
you know, I want someone to enjoy it, like how
I did you know at a time. And people that
are are purchasing some of my memorabilia now are like,
I've always wanted this and there was it means a
lot to them, which is really cool, and uh, but yeah,
it's it becomes I hate to say it, but it
just becomes stuff in life, and and you know, I
look at my future and just just so excited about
(22:49):
that and not so much the past.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Well, I will tell you the one I have of
me and you and Dusty Rhodes. I can't like. I'm
keeping that one forever, that one, that one means a
lot to me. So I kept that one.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
But other sise that was one of the one of
the greatest days. You know. I wrestlefer a total of
fourteen years on and off, and uh, that was one
of the most fun events we ever did because it
was it was it was it was miss Monster, and
it was outside and it was you and Dustry rose
against me and Jeff Jared and we were the bad guys.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
And oh and you got so much heat.

(26:42):
the Homeless. And uh, we have brand new Miss Master

the jazz band, Jazz Witnesses the Jazz and that's your son.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Now, how many members of the band are there.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
It's a trio.
Speaker 10 (27:05):
It's him with two other young ladies and just brilliant
young kids.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
That you would never believe knew the music that they play.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
That's why I think you said he was a brilliant
young kid, and I'm like, oh, fourteen. I don't know
where I came up with fourteen, and then you text
me like he's twenty four. Ru I think when you
said brilliant young kid, in my mind went to young guy.
But anyway, so they're going to help us out as
far as you're raising money for the Corlie for the Homeless.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
On Friday Christmas tunes.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
So they can stay for a while, or yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
They're playing on be here the whole run.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Okay, good because I have like a music director like
Monster music man Matt.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But they they can be a part. They'll be great.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
So it will throw it all together and then brand
new Miss Monster Burless, by the way, got a lot
of positive texts about you. People are very glad that
you won, and you said that you wouldn't mind singing
a song.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Yeah on Friday, of course.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
How long have you been singing?
Speaker 5 (27:57):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (27:57):
Since I was four, I came. The first thing I
asked for for Christmas is a stage, okay, my parents,
and then I didn't get it, so I asked for
it for my birthday.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Oh I got it then.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
So So are you more of a like a singer
performer or is burlesqued more of what you do?
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
What is your what is your focus?
Speaker 11 (28:19):
I've recently found bur lesk, but I've been dancing and
performing on stage since i was a little peanut, So
it's the finding burlesque has actually been like a really
cool cathartic thing that I've done, like since I've gotten older,
So gotcha. So that's a newer thing. But performing in general,
I work with a lot of community theaters, and I
work with students and stuff in the area, and I
(28:40):
coach and do that.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
So, Jimmy little as you get to know me a
little bit better, as you'll realize I have.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I got some issues.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
And it's one of the issues is I like to
pit people against each other. So automatically I wanted to
pit you and BB caliber against each other, you know,
to do some sort of a competition or whatever. And
it's I'm admitting it's a bad thing, but you actually
said you you and bb are friends. Yeah, and you're
doing a show together tomorrow night. Yes, And you're like, well,
(29:08):
we might do a song together on Friday. I'm like, oh,
I was going to have you compete, but so this
is my bad. It's something I do, and so I apologize.
But you guys are doing a show tomorrow night.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
We are.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
We have a free show, free cover at Lake Cava
in Winter Springs at nine o'clock. It's myself, Bibe and
you'll also see Miss Melody Martini, who is the runner.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Up this year.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Gotcha? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
So for Friday, we're raising money for the call is
for the Home Listen. Do you know, like what song
you're gonna do? And if you did, I just want
to throw this out here. If you did a song
with Bbe, how cool would it be to do, like,
you know, a girl on girl?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
What's that song? Ryan? It's baby it's cold outside.
Speaker 11 (29:49):
I think if BBE and I were do anything together,
we would do sisters.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Oh see, that would be great.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
We would do sisters.
Speaker 11 (29:55):
We'd have to Okay, there we get you a little
bit of your rivalry too, because we do beat each
other up with fans.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, and you know, I was trying to talk amber
Nova and Angelique into doing that. I know they're not
going to do it. They're not going to do it.
But and that's you know what the song Sisters is,
don't you Well?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I'm thinking it's from the movie White Christmas.
Speaker 11 (30:13):
Yes, but there's the the part, you know, with the
girls and then the guys come out afterwards while they're
making their quick escape. Okay, and they do the whole
entire number, like you know, with hair sparkle.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
So my suggestion was that Ryan and I do that part.
Speaker 11 (30:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, you already have your You're adorned for
it right now.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
It's wearing a boa already.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Yeah, why didn't you wear your boa?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'm busy doing the rest business right now.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
So, you know, I think all the Burless ladies are
like have these old souls, right, Like, not everybody knows,
would you not about your feet?
Speaker 4 (30:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
No, I mean not everybody knows the movie White Christmas.
Speaker 10 (30:58):
Sure, because it's based in in Vaudeville.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
That's where Burless came from.
Speaker 10 (31:02):
So you you you have to know the history of
where you come from if you're you know, bringing it
to the masses today.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, because the fact that you said, I was surprised
because that is such an old movie and so many
other those who might not know it.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
But but it is.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
We watch it, like I didn't really watch it growing up,
but my wife did so now that's our tradition is
to watch it together.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Oh yeah, I was shaking that song once a week
in the shower, sister.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, lots of soap.
Speaker 11 (31:27):
I used to watch old musicals with my grandparents when
they would babysit me or like watch Me and that,
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, you know, all that the
old Hollywood nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah. Yeah, So what's crazy about you?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Everybody's got something crazy, right, everybody's got like nutty side.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Do you have a nutty size or is there something mean?
Speaker 8 (31:47):
Yeah, everybody does.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
But you're married.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
You got a great husband.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
He's amazing.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Mister Little is the best.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I mean, like just I met him like five minutes
and I'm like, oh, I like this dude. You very
likable guys. What does he do for a living?
Speaker 11 (32:01):
He's the CEO of a company yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
And then you for a living, you're burlesque in entertainment.
Speaker 11 (32:10):
And and my kids right now, I I used to teach.
I used to teach, not like little kids, college kids,
and COVID happened, and things changed and priorities changed, and
I had my daughter, and you know, things changed, you know,
in the family.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
And I like to say that, mister.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
Little retired me. I'm a retired college professor.
Speaker 10 (32:32):
Wow, you're also an advisor at the Burlesque Conservatory.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
I am.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
So.
Speaker 11 (32:36):
I work with the Burlesque Conservatory here in Orlando where
we teach the art of burless right, and I teach
classes there. But I also am like their little secretary.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
So when your husband it was a you know, he's
been a big old ceo, you know, and he's like,
my wife is burless Ye.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Do people treat you differently? Are they? Are? They?
Speaker 11 (32:57):
Sometimes some people don't understand. I guess that is my
crazy thing. I so I'm an ardent offender of the
art of burless right and of any friend of mine.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Like you know.
Speaker 11 (33:08):
So I'm not like saying like I'm some crazy feminist
or anything like that. But you know, I've noticed, you
know a difference in the way people will talk to
me or talk to my friends.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
And stuff when they find out you're burless.
Speaker 11 (33:20):
I don't go quietly into the night when that happens.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, you defend it because you're like, hey, this is
an art for him. Yeah, you know it's funny. I've
known Lady James for a while now, and I've never
seen her give me the dirty eyes until uh Daisy
del Toro was getting kind of James getting a little
uh rush stage and Lady James coming this is not
(33:44):
a porn show.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I cannot I cannot control days.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
And then I told Ryan and let's get her off
the stage because Lady James is gonna kill me.
Speaker 8 (33:53):
No, I honestly wasn't that upset.
Speaker 10 (33:56):
I was just surprised because you were so well. She
had brought the other ladies on stage, and we got
to the dirty real pho.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
I know.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
Ye yeah.
Speaker 10 (34:06):

you to talk to me, that's all.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Well, I don't know the answer. You're trying to I know,
you know. I don't know the answer.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
So you're trying to embarrass me publicly to let it happen.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Maybe maybe I know that you don't know what time
to be there.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, I don't know. I might not even go. I
might parachute in from the top of the stadium. Anything
could happen with the.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Here's to take a bar from crimeline there she is.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
There's supposed to be applause. Hello to take it bar

Speaker 1 (02:16):
How are you doing?
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I cuss more on this drive in here on Tuesday
mornings than probably any other day of the week.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I don't know if we believe that, but okay, that's
what you if, that's what you're selling.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Okay, golf.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I don't cuss on the golf course.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well sometimes I do, but with the kid there, you
don't inappropriate stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, it happens.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
People, people, Are you? Are you incase?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
This is this is our last Tuesday that where there
will be weeks?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Well yeah for two weeks. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Uh so are you out of town or what are
you doing for the holidays?
Speaker 8 (02:54):
We always fly on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Day to escape it.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I'll be driving. I'm actually be driving on Christmas. We're
driving to New Orleans and I've never driven on Christmas Day.
I wonder if so on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Day will be on Christmas Day is the best day
of the year because no one's there, it's very few. Yeah,
you had like a plane mostly to yourself. It's it's
normally not full.
Speaker 9 (03:16):
And then you get your gas at an offbeat seven eleven.
Little thing you know on it up there and there's
a lonely person behind.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
The camp for people working.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I do feel bad for the people having to work,
but I've had to work many Christmas is so yeah,
just part of the world, right.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
There's just a bunch of slop.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I heard cool cool guys use that word, and they
use it all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So what's ruin it for you? Are we trying to
catch any bad guys?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Tell you something good?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
So we have a board meeting tomorrow morning with my
executive board to do rewards and stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
And bard board.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I was amazed at the kind of tips we have going.
We had a tip that came in that identified a
family member who was sexually abusing a fourteen year old.
We have two tips that are involved in homicide. One
helped solve a homicide, the other one found a guy
wanted for homicide.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh I.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
We here's a really cool one.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You ever watch?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I don't know if it happens, it comes to my
social media feed for some reason. Those guys that are
out there searching for missing people in lakes and they're
doing the water sonar or radar whatever that is, right,
they're finding cars and people and stuff. We didn't find
a body, but we found a stolen car. A tip
came in with a location of a vehicle stolen from
another county in a lake in Lake County.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
So I would say this is probably the most unusual
month of tips that we've had come in, right with
a couple homicides, you know, that sexual battery situation, with.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Us getting murderers off the street, and.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Gain that other situation.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Think about how ugly that poor I mean, that life,
that child was Lee, you know, and tell we were
able to get some help for that family.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
So good month for us.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I like what I'm saying there.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's the good work that Crimeline does.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You know, we've been supporting Crimeline for ever and it's
just helping get bad guys off the street.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And then sometimes for Thanksgiving, we didn't talk to you
about this. Did Did we have any people at Thanksgiving
dinner get get taken away?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I'll have to look and see if that was on
those dates, but I know that week we had a
number of arrest mate.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Oh yeah, so let's get ready for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So you have to explain to Jeff because if they're
if they're sitting there and you got a family member
that's got a warrant out against them, and let's say
you don't like them, or.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
You want more food, call us and we'll take them
from the family dinner table.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Awesome, I'm happy to do that.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
You got a warrant, we're gonna come talk to you.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
If you're a police officer and you're picking up somebody
at a family dinner, would it be rude to like like, hey, yeah,
I don't think we're going to be doing that, but okay, but.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
You know that is it is what it is. With
the warrant, you committed the crime. Yeah, we're gonna come
get you.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We just knew where you were going to be.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
What you were doing today to a cock family meal.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Do they say Merry Christmas or most of the officers do, Yeah,
Merry Christmas. You're coming to jail.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Sorry, sorry, sorry for you.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And this is like the is it the sixth year angel,
the sixth year in the road that we that we
have not caught the ladies that stole there.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Still missing, the dang eagle, the.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Eagle that's just still missing.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Those drunks, those drunk girls on their fancy clothes are gone.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't know the Christmas reads. Is it over six years?
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (06:30):
I think it is.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Yeah, long than that.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
This just stolen from you, from you.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
No, it's onco Beach down to It was on video
these girls stealing this big wreath and to take the
barber one to grab them.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So, man, whatever happened to the video?
Speaker 9 (06:43):
Ryan?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Can you help us.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Video of the of the reef? I never before?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
That was before before Ryan. Yeah, it's a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So is there a statue of limitation if you steal
my world?
Speaker 5 (07:00):
That probably has legally, but not in my world. I'm
an idea though.
Speaker 9 (07:03):
Well, what's a connection to the wreath that has you
so fired up?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Is Christmas?
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Stupid?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Drunk women dressed in nice clothes taking a reef off
of a business.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It was huge, too expensive, buss not yours. Don't take it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Stupid, it's against the law.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
Well, if you go downtown on a on a Friday
or a Saturday, you'll see tons of drunk women in
nice dresses, you will. Yeah, so just pick one of them.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
And these weren't even really young. They were, you know,
twenty thirty.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, probably got children at home, right, stupid. So let's
talk about one other thing. Safety safety during the holidays, right, Okay,
put your packages in your trunk or out of sight.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Yeah, you see people all the time.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You've got an armful of stuff, you put it in
the car because you're going back to get more stuff,
and they just set it in the back seat. Or
ladies will leave their purse sitting there because they've grabbed
their wallet and they figure, well, i've got you know
what the thieves want.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
Well, the thieves don't know that.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
They see your purse sitting there, right, So you need
to put every out of view and make sure it's
locked up. Pay attention to your surroundings because this is
a time. It's not unusual to have people follow you
around in the parking lot and be grabbing and stuff
like that. So just be aware and we all get
lost in all this mess. Right.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Are there a lot? Are there a lot of porch
pirates still this year?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Have you seen the young ones? There's been a bunch
of them out there with young kids thinking this is funny.
We're going to go get all our neighbors boxes and stuff. Yeah,
it's happening. So if you know them, that's a five
hundred dollars reward if you can help buy.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
So if you catch like an eight year old taking
boxes off there.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
These aren't eight.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
These are more in the fourteen to sixteen, seventeen years.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So if you're fourteen and sixty that you're going to,
you're going to you're a thief. You're a thief. They well,
they don't got like real jail for you though, where
they If you're fourteen, what do they send you to?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Juvie juvie and you're going to go home to your parents?
But do you really need that now in your history?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah? You know.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
What we talked about this several weeks ago is that
as officers, you want people to report the if someone
stole your stuff instead of just calling hey, Amazon sent
me another one that was taken you, you want it
to be reported to the police.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
That way, they know to look in that area for this, they.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Know about the problem because more than likely that's not
their only package they've stolen and ur first time of
doing it. So we just need to stop. That's the
way we all shop today. I mean, how mad would
you be if you were expecting something at your door
and does come.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I'm to ask you like a behind the scenes police
officer question.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Okay, no, so Rob.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Briiner his wife were murdered by their son right And
it seemed like the police right away know that it's
the sun. Why did they stop and take so long
before they make like official statements like that, what's the
logic behind that?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Well, you know, you don't want to go out and
accuse people if you don't have probable cause for an arrest.
So that's just.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Yeah, because it was like like TMZ like all day
yesterday is like TMZ reported, people reported, but the actual
police department they're like, oh, he's a person of interest,
and and like it's is it.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
You need to have probable cause before you're identifying a
suspect nether orage. You need to have the ability to
put handcuffs on them, before you're saying that's the person
that we're going to arrest.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
And it's just, you know, it's like that there's.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
't a person.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Status also change when they're they're officially charged. At that point,
then they're probably retaining attorneys. They don't have to talk
to you. So if you're in custody and you're a
person of interest and they have you and they're just
and they're talking to you, they're interrogating you and they're
and they're able to get you to have a conversation
and you haven't requested an attorney and you haven't done
then all that stuff goes to building a case against you.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You can keep yeah, as long as you're still talking.
That's all different with you know, having your rights read
to you and stuff like that. But that'll never change
the fact that they didn't point fingers.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Out at him.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I think maybe the nine to one one call initially
came in and even said you need to look at
so and so, but you can't.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
You don't publish that.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
That's one of the bigger problems with criminal cases today
because way too much information gets out there and can
be damaging to the actual investigation.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
There's just certain.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Things that only those close to the case should know
while you're working through the physical evidence and the witnesses
and stuff like that to put together a good, strong
probable cause so that you can actually put bracelet and
you do.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Like the rest of day and yesterday, he's like sees
all these family photos and he's like he's and he
would look at this everybody's having fun and smiling, and
he'd be like, this guy's making a weird face and
you can tell he's.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Different when you like when you're like around like.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Somebody that's murdered somebody is there is there a vibe
to them or can they fully come off like like
that I didn't do it, but then you find out
later that absolutely did.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
There has to be like some kind of tale.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Oh there's not.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
There's some pretty good liars.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Really and you were just glumbo can figure him out?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
How many years were you in an hour? You were
to take a how ten and a half years in homicide?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Ten and a half years of homicide? So so this
is your I mean, this is your wheelhouse, you know. Uh.
The first thing you think of is you got to
think it's a family member, right is it?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Normally that's where you first look, especially in a if
you listen to what's if all of it's true, how
violent this was, and how personal it was looking at
things like being stabbed, and there's some other things that
I don't know if it's toe or not, So I'm
not gonna say it, but the violence, the personalness of
the violence going on, you start looking there first, right
to try and eliminate all those and you do it.
(12:14):
In most cases, you're going to eliminate all those closest
to them, and then you start coming down this list
of potential suspects. So you get down to.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
And I imagine in LA it was probably fairly well
known in the circles that the son had problems.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Oh, I think it was published that he had some
addiction problems.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
The night before he was at a party. It was.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Bryan's house, and he got into a big fight with
them at the house.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, so I'm going to stab y'all. Well, he said that.
But I'm just it's horrible.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I mean, you know, you have the whole mental health
situation there too. Obviously I haven't seen that movie, but
obviously that movie had something to do that was what
their family was like, right, But now you've got two dad,
a whole family has to deal with us. And it
was a family member who committed the crime. Yeah, you know,
it happens frequently. And yeah, and and mental health. I'm
(13:12):
just you know this, our mental health problems in this
country are horrid. And I don't see this doing a
whole lot about it.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You know, he had, I mean years and years of
mental health issues, you know, And and it's it's not
like they didn't address him. He I guess he was
in and out of rehab seventeen times, some crazy amount.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
So homelessness as well, was that he was homeless for
quite some time as well.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, as he was working through his addictions and.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He was living with his parents.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
If you take drugs out of a society bybe well,
where does the crime late drop?
Speaker 8 (13:44):
It drops that much. I think you got to do
more about the mental health.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yeah, I mean, you know, people are not mentally healthy
with or without the drugs. They're still going to do
the things they're doing, especially some of these violent crimes.
So and we have to start early because we talked
about this speak out. It just amazes me the volume
of tips that we come in the three counties that
participate with us. Yeah, and the mental health tips we take.
(14:10):
Kids talking about wanting to harm themselves. Well, in some
cases that goes a step further. They're gonna harm others,
you know, as they move on if they don't get help.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah, So it's.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I don't know, it's not it's not good right now
in the mental health world in our country.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, all right, well, it's a take the BARB crime line.
I remember the number is one eight hundred four to
two three tips. If you see something, you see a porch,
pirates taking something or or anything like that, or your.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Uncle comes to dinner, Nah, no warrant.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You know you can you can cash in uncle shifty.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It's one eight hundred and four to three tips. Have
a great holiday to take.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Thank you for everything.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
We'll see you next next year. All right, we'll take

how many schools and how many kids have you talked

Well, you know, we talked kids about relevant issues, you know, depression, anxiety, bullying,
taking action towards goal and living there their most victorious life.
And this is my nineteenth year speaking. And you know,

a year.

two years doing virtual events. And now I come back

go to our website, think Pause and posespoz dot org,
(18:44):
thinkpas dot org and we would love to schedule some schools.
We got some grant money and it's just been Russ.
I can't say that next year will be my twentieth year.
And if someone told me back when Russ introduced me,
they booed me out of the building. Still be doing it,
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
And what you're not saying for that many listeners to
know is that I've been with Mark before when he's
going through letters and stuff and the kids, you know,
young people, young kids compelled to write you a letter
and say, hey, I was thinking about committing suicide. And
because I saw your program, I didn't like like letter
after a letter after letter. I mean, if you had
(19:21):
to put a number to how many kids told you
they didn't kill themselves because they saw your presentation?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
How many? How many letters do you think that would be?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
You know, Russ over the years, I still get him today.
You know, it's amazing because have been doing this for
so long. We got so many kids that saw many
years ago that I finally opened up and talked about it,
right because someone they know is going through an issue
or something and they'll say, Mark, you know back in
you know, two thy sixteen, you know you can do
whatever school and man just touched my heart. I was
going to end my life that day or something you know,
(19:55):
just crazy like that that I read and I'm just
like so blessed to do that. But you know what
was on the other side. We have so many kids
are now, whether they're professional athletes. I just got a
letter recently. I got to share this with you. Pete Vergos.
He's a kid that saw me. His dad took him.
His dad's named Demetrius Veregos. They took him to one
of my events. And I used to set out with
(20:15):
goal setting cars and tell kids write their goals and
dreams into existence, so put it somewhere you have to
see it, whether it's on the refrigerator, in your bedroom.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Wall, whatever.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Well, this little kid, at ten years old wrote I
want to be a pro bowler, right, So his dad
put it up on the refrigerator and he saw it
every day. By the time he was fourteen years old,
he had forty eight three hundred games. This year he
was named PBA Rookie of the Year on tour and
he's like came in twelfth and the Masters or something
(20:43):
crazy like that. But all from seeing that presentation where
he believed in his dreams and goals and we're all
capable of that. We're never too late to we after
dreams and goals, and you know some of my biggest
ones are still ahead of me. Russ. I just I'll
never retire. I'll just refire.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You still got that John to be bad and you
don't do.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Hey, I want to ask you about I want to
I want to ask you about that because I went
through this the beginning of the year, right, So I
moved mary Ellen and I moved to another house. And
when I moved to the other house, there's a lot
of like Memorabilian stuff and kiss stuff or whatever that
I got rid of.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And then everybody was like, oh, mary Ellen made you
get rid of that stuff, which was not the case.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I just decided that, like you know, listen, this doesn't
fit in the new life kind of thing. And then
I saw online where you're you got rid of or
trying to get rid of a lot of your memorabilia,
and I saw people coming at you like the same way, like, oh,
the new wife is making you get rid of stuff.
Set the record straight, Mark, was that your decision is
that the you know, is that her decision? What's happening
(21:45):
with your memorabilia?
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Russ I am so glad you brought that up because
I have obviously would get in the data on social media.
With that way, I saw that it's my wife that
must to get rid of this. She loved that stuff. Man,
She would go through looking at that Nobili and ask
me questions about it and stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You know, But it Russ, you.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
Know, it's it's memories. They live in my heart. I
don't need a plaque on the wall or a picture
to remind me of it.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You know.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
There were certain things that I will I will keep,
you know, that's that that really need a lot. But
most of that stuff, for Russ, it becomes stuff after
a while. I mean it was great, you know when
we had the gym, we had the memorabilia walls and yeah,
and people that worked out there would go and see
it and stuff. It was cool. But you know what
I don't need in my in my life and I'm
(22:28):
you know, I want someone to enjoy it, like how
I did you know at a time. And people that
are are purchasing some of my memorabilia now are like,
I've always wanted this and there was it means a
lot to them, which is really cool, and uh, but yeah,
it's it becomes I hate to say it, but it
just becomes stuff in life, and and you know, I
look at my future and just just so excited about
(22:49):
that and not so much the past.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Well, I will tell you the one I have of
me and you and Dusty Rhodes. I can't like. I'm
keeping that one forever, that one, that one means a
lot to me. So I kept that one.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
But other sise that was one of the one of
the greatest days. You know. I wrestlefer a total of
fourteen years on and off, and uh, that was one
of the most fun events we ever did because it
was it was it was it was miss Monster, and
it was outside and it was you and Dustry rose
against me and Jeff Jared and we were the bad guys.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
And oh and you got so much heat.

the jazz band, Jazz Witnesses the Jazz and that's your son.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Now, how many members of the band are there.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
It's a trio.
Speaker 10 (27:05):
It's him with two other young ladies and just brilliant
young kids.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
That you would never believe knew the music that they play.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
That's why I think you said he was a brilliant
young kid, and I'm like, oh, fourteen. I don't know
where I came up with fourteen, and then you text
me like he's twenty four. Ru I think when you
said brilliant young kid, in my mind went to young guy.
But anyway, so they're going to help us out as
far as you're raising money for the Corlie for the Homeless.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
On Friday Christmas tunes.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
So they can stay for a while, or yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
They're playing on be here the whole run.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Okay, good because I have like a music director like
Monster music man Matt.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But they they can be a part. They'll be great.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
So it will throw it all together and then brand
new Miss Monster Burless, by the way, got a lot
of positive texts about you. People are very glad that
you won, and you said that you wouldn't mind singing
a song.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Yeah on Friday, of course.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
How long have you been singing?
Speaker 5 (27:57):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (27:57):
Since I was four, I came. The first thing I
asked for for Christmas is a stage, okay, my parents,
and then I didn't get it, so I asked for
it for my birthday.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Oh I got it then.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
So So are you more of a like a singer
performer or is burlesqued more of what you do?
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
What is your what is your focus?
Speaker 11 (28:19):
I've recently found bur lesk, but I've been dancing and
performing on stage since i was a little peanut, So
it's the finding burlesque has actually been like a really
cool cathartic thing that I've done, like since I've gotten older,
So gotcha. So that's a newer thing. But performing in general,
I work with a lot of community theaters, and I
work with students and stuff in the area, and I
(28:40):
coach and do that.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
So, Jimmy little as you get to know me a
little bit better, as you'll realize I have.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I got some issues.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
And it's one of the issues is I like to
pit people against each other. So automatically I wanted to
pit you and BB caliber against each other, you know,
to do some sort of a competition or whatever. And
it's I'm admitting it's a bad thing, but you actually
said you you and bb are friends. Yeah, and you're
doing a show together tomorrow night. Yes, And you're like, well,
(29:08):
we might do a song together on Friday. I'm like, oh,
I was going to have you compete, but so this
is my bad. It's something I do, and so I apologize.
But you guys are doing a show tomorrow night.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
We are.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
We have a free show, free cover at Lake Cava
in Winter Springs at nine o'clock. It's myself, Bibe and
you'll also see Miss Melody Martini, who is the runner.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Up this year.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Gotcha? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
So for Friday, we're raising money for the call is
for the Home Listen. Do you know, like what song
you're gonna do? And if you did, I just want
to throw this out here. If you did a song
with Bbe, how cool would it be to do, like,
you know, a girl on girl?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
What's that song? Ryan? It's baby it's cold outside.
Speaker 11 (29:49):
I think if BBE and I were do anything together,
we would do sisters.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Oh see, that would be great.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
We would do sisters.
Speaker 11 (29:55):
We'd have to Okay, there we get you a little
bit of your rivalry too, because we do beat each
other up with fans.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, and you know, I was trying to talk amber
Nova and Angelique into doing that. I know they're not
going to do it. They're not going to do it.
But and that's you know what the song Sisters is,
don't you Well?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I'm thinking it's from the movie White Christmas.
Speaker 11 (30:13):
Yes, but there's the the part, you know, with the
girls and then the guys come out afterwards while they're
making their quick escape. Okay, and they do the whole
entire number, like you know, with hair sparkle.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
So my suggestion was that Ryan and I do that part.
Speaker 11 (30:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, you already have your You're adorned for
it right now.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
It's wearing a boa already.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Yeah, why didn't you wear your boa?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'm busy doing the rest business right now.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
So, you know, I think all the Burless ladies are
like have these old souls, right, Like, not everybody knows,
would you not about your feet?
Speaker 4 (30:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
No, I mean not everybody knows the movie White Christmas.
Speaker 10 (30:58):
Sure, because it's based in in Vaudeville.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
That's where Burless came from.
Speaker 10 (31:02):
So you you you have to know the history of
where you come from if you're you know, bringing it
to the masses today.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, because the fact that you said, I was surprised
because that is such an old movie and so many
other those who might not know it.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
But but it is.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
We watch it, like I didn't really watch it growing up,
but my wife did so now that's our tradition is
to watch it together.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Oh yeah, I was shaking that song once a week
in the shower, sister.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, lots of soap.
Speaker 11 (31:27):
I used to watch old musicals with my grandparents when
they would babysit me or like watch Me and that,
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, you know, all that the
old Hollywood nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah. Yeah, So what's crazy about you?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Everybody's got something crazy, right, everybody's got like nutty side.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Do you have a nutty size or is there something mean?
Speaker 8 (31:47):
Yeah, everybody does.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
But you're married.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
You got a great husband.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
He's amazing.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Mister Little is the best.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I mean, like just I met him like five minutes
and I'm like, oh, I like this dude. You very
likable guys. What does he do for a living?
Speaker 11 (32:01):
He's the CEO of a company yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
And then you for a living, you're burlesque in entertainment.
Speaker 11 (32:10):
And and my kids right now, I I used to teach.
I used to teach, not like little kids, college kids,
and COVID happened, and things changed and priorities changed, and
I had my daughter, and you know, things changed, you know,
in the family.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
And I like to say that, mister.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
Little retired me. I'm a retired college professor.
Speaker 10 (32:32):
Wow, you're also an advisor at the Burlesque Conservatory.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
I am.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
So.
Speaker 11 (32:36):
I work with the Burlesque Conservatory here in Orlando where
we teach the art of burless right, and I teach
classes there. But I also am like their little secretary.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
So when your husband it was a you know, he's
been a big old ceo, you know, and he's like,
my wife is burless Ye.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Do people treat you differently? Are they? Are? They?
Speaker 11 (32:57):
Sometimes some people don't understand. I guess that is my
crazy thing. I so I'm an ardent offender of the
art of burless right and of any friend of mine.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Like you know.
Speaker 11 (33:08):
So I'm not like saying like I'm some crazy feminist
or anything like that. But you know, I've noticed, you
know a difference in the way people will talk to
me or talk to my friends.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
And stuff when they find out you're burless.
Speaker 11 (33:20):
I don't go quietly into the night when that happens.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, you defend it because you're like, hey, this is
an art for him. Yeah, you know it's funny. I've
known Lady James for a while now, and I've never
seen her give me the dirty eyes until uh Daisy
del Toro was getting kind of James getting a little
uh rush stage and Lady James coming this is not
(33:44):
a porn show.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I cannot I cannot control days.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
And then I told Ryan and let's get her off
the stage because Lady James is gonna kill me.
Speaker 8 (33:53):
No, I honestly wasn't that upset.
Speaker 10 (33:56):
I was just surprised because you were so well. She
had brought the other ladies on stage, and we got
to the dirty real pho.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
I know.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
Ye yeah.
Speaker 10 (34:06):
