With this loan when I entered the well through and
it was someone else before me, all right, all right, all.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Right, Ringo, that was awesome.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Did you know why I played that? Of course?

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Of course because last night was Ringo and Friends on CBS.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Ringo and Friends at the Ryman, and I enjoyed the
hell out of it.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Was awesome, wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I almost stayed up and watched the whole thing. I couldn't,
but my eyes were going, don't you want to go
to sleep?

Speaker 5 (00:44):
Now?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
You gotta shoot you do at the market.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
But if you missed it, you can catch it on
Paramount Plus so you can see the rest of it
when you get home.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Bough, What what is this? Ringo? Cliff right here?

Speaker 3 (00:54):
This is him talking about how special.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
It was to be at the Ryman. The Ryman for
me is just the blessing that I can play here.
I feel an extra little beach in my house every
time I played here.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
It was really fun to watch that, and the friends
were awesome, including North Texas' own Mickey Guyton, Sheryl Crows,
why it was awesome.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
Do you see what he did there when he spoke,
he said a little extra beat in my heart.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
I got it. I got it. Oh, by the way,
I have a ringo clip I'll play later about him
describing when they landed in Dallas. Oh yeah, back in
sixty four.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Didn't they stay at a hotel that is like now
the jails now part of the Jays, part of the
loose Starrett Hilton.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yes, we'll get into that because it is a toy
box Tuesday, and I got some little good to play
for you. But now let's find out what days we're
celebrating today, all right, give it to us. It is
Johnny Appleseed Day. You know, the guy who went around
playing trees back in the eighteen hundred. He did it
so we could all appreciate nature. He also did it

(02:04):
so people could use the apples to make cider and
get hammered and sell the orchards to people moving west
in the nineteenth century.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Now Elon Musk is our apple seed his seat everywhere.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yes he is. Some people like to play hill, but
that's I'm moving on National Proposal Day. Oh yes, yes,
it is prom season. And in case you didn't realize it.
Asking a girl to the high school problem is one
of the most terrifying things a guy had to do
back in the day.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, but now it's way involved. Oh yeah, you have
to like figure out a whole skit to do.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
It.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Used to be would you like to go the problemmen?
We feared rejection. That's why we were so scared. You
don't go on date or not. No, man, we're men.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
We have insecurity courses through our veins like blood, and
we're born with it.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yes, it is National three one one day because you know,
nine to one one is the emergency number to call,
and there's a life and death emergency, but three one
one is the non emergency number you can call for
things like, oh kid von mccar kys, I lost contact Lynn,
I don't care, Y'll laugh at you.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
But people still call nine one one, Yeah that kind
of stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, what you mean it's an emergency to me?

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I can't see nothing.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
I can remember having to call nine one one and go, hey,
here's my deal. Should I be calling a different number
and not bothering you guys? It is also a world
plumbing day. My mom once told me when I was younger.
Maybe you should learn to be a plumber. They make
real good money, Yeah, they do. But I decided I'd
rather talk crap than clean it out of people's pipes.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
And there's this story about a plane that was diverted
because the restrooms were all called up.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Kid ahead of me, don't get ahead of me. That's
on the freaking.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Oh my god, that story made me laugh so hard.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
It is also worship of tools day. Well, I'm certainly
really fond of mine.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Mighty handy.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
If you will, oatmeal nut waffles day? All right? Why
do I want to scream when I say that? Can
you really make a breakfast food out of some guy's nut?

Speaker 5 (04:13):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
It is debunking day. Most of us are smart enough
not to believe something somebody said just because they said it.
Like I say, most of us. Today's day to call
out those people who spread all it cock. And it's
National eat your Noodle's Day. I do like it did
that last night. How about using your noodle instead of
eating it?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Okay, I would be on board with that as well.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Instead of believing all that cock that somebody had just
said because they.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Said it, and they don't have to say it. They
can put it on social.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Of course they can't, and you can rest assured they will. Okay,
So we got sports of all sorts coming up. Then,
of course they freaking fool file. You already have an
idea what story it's going to be in there. And
we got some goodies to play out of the toy
box because it is toy Box Tuesday, bunch of Birthdays.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
We'll tell you about that at seven fifty.

Speaker 4 (05:06):

of the Wood, Get ready because they show Dallas four
Worst Classic Rock lone Star ninety two five. Well, look
at the time, it is six thirty times ver Sports
Walls Organ.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Brought to you by the Will Height Law Firm. Injury
lawyers go to Willhightwinds dot com. Will stab me with
a rusty butter knife. If the Mavericks didn't finally win.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
One last night, Finally, Spencer Dinwoody scored twenty eight points
and the depleted Mavericks stopped a five game losing streak
by edging the Spurs one thirty three to one twenty nine.
Last night at San Antonio. We're going all the way
down the drain. Klay Thompson had twenty six points for
Dallas in his first win since February twenty seven. San

(06:01):
Antonio dropped its third consecutive game, so they're right behind
us in the suck department. There were twelve players out
with injuries, including All Star Victor rub Yamama of San
Antonio and Dallas's Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis the Brow.
The injury bug even hit the officiating crew, with referee

(06:21):
Sean Wright being helped off the court in the first
quarter with a leg injury. I don't know if somebody
ran into him or what. Who knows. Maybe this will
be a turnaround for the mess. I wouldn't bet the
farm on it, but it could be and Dallas doesn't
have to pack up and head to another city. The
two teams square off again tomorrow night in San Antonio,
tip off at seven o'clock.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
A Virginia high school relay race runner is looking for
an apology after she was whacked in the head with
a baton by a fellow competitor during a recent meet,
leaving her with a concussion and a possible skull fracture.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Did you see the videos?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
I did, and she did it on purpose. I don't
care what she said, em she whacked her good.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
It all unfolded last week at Liberty University in Virginia
during the four by two hundred relay race at the
Class three State Indoor Championship. As Brookville High School junior
Kaylin Tucker rounded the corner with senior Alila Everett.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Of Norcomb High School.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
The two seemingly bumped arms before Everett swung her button
at the back of Tucker's head and whacked her across
the head.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Tucker told a local outlet.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
She felt the effects of the attack almost immediately, saying
a headache quickly developed after the strike. After visiting a doctor,
she was diagnosed with a concussion and a possible skull fracture.
Not good sportsmanship at all, and she can't do The
woman that did it can't cannot at all because it's
all on video. It is, and the family said that

(07:50):
neither the athlete who struck her nor the other team's
coaches checked on her after the injury.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, oh, come on, now, that's dereliction of do right,
get it? To get sportship please.

Speaker 6 (08:02):
The NFL free agency period began in earnest yesterday morning
at eleven AM. Teams and players could begin agreeing to
contracts anytime now, and a flurry of deals across the
league began to pop up in the first couple of
hours now. In the Dallas Cowboys corner, however, it started
out relatively quiet, which he usually does. Jerry Jones and

(08:23):
company got on board around one PM with a reported
deal with a long snapper, Trent Sieg, who played the
last two seasons in Dallas.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
They agreed to three years and four point four five
mil for the guy.

Speaker 6 (08:36):
But the Cowboys are also coming off a big contract
extension with defensive tackle Osa Odiggy Zoo Wah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I like you the way Digga.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Ain't he from Corsicana, Yeah he is. You can tell
by his name.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
I thought so last week they signed that defensive tackle up.
They should also be mowing a potential contract extension with
our star linebacker Micah Parsons. He's entering the final year
of his rookie contract. We're going to be no, we
don't want to lose Micah for Christ's sake. We'll be
tracking all of the latest free agency moves out of

(09:11):
the Star, both with the players coming to Dallas and
former Cowboys players.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Who are going to end up signing elsewhere. Speaking of football,
a former NFL linebacker from Plano has been sentenced to
prison in a Ponzi scheme involving claims of luxury real
estate and gold mine Wow, which did not exist. Forty
three year old Robert Let's see John Robert Leak. I

(09:36):
think that's his right. He has a brother named Taka.
He has pled guilty to one count of wire fraud
and one count of transactional money laundering. Leak, of Plano native,
played two seasons in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons
and Green Bay Packers after playing college football at Clemson.
The federal judge in California sentenced him to thirty months

(09:58):
in federal prison and ordered him to payback over five
million dollars to victims. According to authorities, They alleged that Leek,
from June twenty fifteen to March of twenty twenty solicited
more than eight million dollars from six people by claiming
he was participating in multiple lucrative business ventures, including sub

(10:18):
letting luxury real estate properties and real estate investing. The
purported ventures Leak lied about also included gold mines in
Alaska and Guyana. Authorities said Leak offered people the chance
to loan his money to invest in the ventures in
exchange for a high rate of return that, of course
they never saw. Leak used the victim's investment money on

(10:41):
his own expenses, including credit card depth, car payments, rent,
and gambling expenses. Crazy un Son, You didn't think anybody
would find out?

Speaker 5 (10:51):
I guess not.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Should have listened to your brother, Teika.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
All right, congratulations are in order for Olivia co Bo
and San Francisco forty nine ers Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
They're adding to their team.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
The Miss Universe twenty twelve winner and San Francisco forty
nine ers running Back announced yesterday they're expecting their very
first baby together. Alongside photos of Olivia Culpo cradling her
little baby bump, she wrote on Instagram next chapter motherhood.
While the post featured glam shots of Olivia Culpo, family snapshots,

(11:28):
and of course adorable photos of her puff Oliver.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Sprinkles, what caught fans' attention was.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
The fourth to the last image of the NFL Star
placing a hand over Culpo's baby bomb.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
That's just too much cuteness? What was so sweet?

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Love is in the air.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
The couple's baby news also comes nearly a year after
they tied the knot on June twenty ninth at the
one hundred and fifty year old Watch Hill Chapel in
Rhode Island. I remember seeing that spread in People magazine.
Ain't love many splendid things?

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Damn sure is.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Congratulation.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
I'm just oozing with cuteness now.

Speaker 6 (12:03):
As Bo said out of a Queens song yesterday, love
is also crazy damn now. In the wake of a
severe storm that swept through Ellis County over the weekend,
residents are dealing with it. They're dealing with property damage.
They're dealing with the loss of a beloved community member
too tragically. Beyond structural losses, the community is mourning the
death of a man only forty two years old named TJ.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Bailey.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
He worked at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis, and he
was staying in an r V near the venue with
his family, dedicated to his job, which I'm sure he
loved working there, and he was preparing for an upcoming
event at Texas Motorplex. The storm flipped his trailer over,
claiming his life, injuring his wife and injuring his kids. Luckily,

(12:49):
the rest of his family survived. Grateful for that in
supportive family and friends, the Texas Motorplex community have launched
a fundraiser through the drag Racers Benevolent Fund, all the
proceeds going directly to bailey surviving family. If you wish
to donate, you can send funds to put the little
at symbol down and then type in TJ. Bailey Family Fund,

(13:11):
Okay at TJ. Bailey Family Fund and that's on Venmo.
Checks can also be sent to Texas Motorplex with the
memo TJ. Bailey Family Fund written down there in the
little blank left hand corner.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
I'm scary for that family and so tragic.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
And only forty two years old. I'm dedicated to the
race life.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Thank you. Okay? Would you like a good laugh to
kind of take the sting off that last one?

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Look at new Era's most recent line of Major League
Baseball cap.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Oh yeah, especially for Hispanics.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
The official cap company of Major League Baseball is back
with another questionable series of designs that have Baseball fans
scratching their heads or busting out laughing. The Texas Rangers
edition of the cap was so bad that they had
to pull it from the online store immediately. Here's the
gist of it. The design features each team's standard cap

(14:06):
logo superimposed over their jersey logos. In the case of
the Rangers, the T logos was superimposed in the middle
of the word Texas, The tea covered up the X,
and the cap spelled out tatas tetas, which is boobs
or mister. The cap was pulled from both the Major

(14:29):
League Baseball and Rangers online stores, which were operated by Fanatics. Oh,
come on, you can't make that stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Well you see the one for the Houston Astros.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh yeah, it fits them. Dude, hurt go good. Okay, look,
if you're into that bonded stuff, tetanam, I ain't judging you.
Oh it hurts so good? No, it doesn't hurt. Never
hurts good. Oh you lovely to lash every Wednesday. Well,

(15:00):
that's different, that's different.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Everything.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right, coming up, we're gonna pull something out of
the toy box. A birthday of someone who's been on
this show several times. But now it is time for
the freaking fool file. And here's that story that Anna
was referring to at the opening break. There was trouble
in the sky last week when an Air India flight
from Chicago to Delhi was forced to turn around for

(15:27):
a potty break. The flight was about four and a
half hours in when the crew informed passengers that eleven
of the twelve toilets on board had clogged and were
no longer available.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Isn't that horrible?

Speaker 1 (15:41):
That's a lot of clog. Have you ever been on
a passenger plane with twelve toilets on It must be
a really big plane flight to India. I never heard
of a plane like that. Well, naturally, chaos erupted in
the cabin from everyone who knew they would have to
take a dump or a whiz sometime during that long flight,
and the pilot made the decision to turn back around

(16:04):
and return the plane to Chicago, where all three hundred
people were taken off the plane for a potty stuff. Now,
guess where some of those passengers went to after being
taken off the plane restroom? That's right, that's because they
had to hold it in when the plane had to
fly back another four and a half hours. They were
provided accommodations and alternative arrangements to reach their destination, and

(16:27):
maybe a fresh pair of underwear just in case.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
Oh what's sad is that it was clogged up with
like clothing items, so many stuffed rags and clothing items
down the toilets on the plane.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Isn't that gross?

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Kissed me all right?

Speaker 4 (16:43):
The owner. The owner of a London comedy club announced
he is banning audience members with boatox injections after performers
complained about unresponsive faces in the crowd since those people
are unable to change.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Their facial expression.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Thomas Mark Rothman, owner of the Top Secret Comedy Club,
said the business's two venues have decided not to allow
patrons with botox injections to be in the audience for
comedy shows because they just can't let out a loud
laugh because their faces are frozen. According to the comedy

(17:20):
store owner, I've had numerous complaints from performers who find
it increasingly challenging to gauge audience engagement and bounce off
their reactions. Comedy thrives on connection, and facial expressions play
a huge part. We want people to laugh, to cry,
to frown to sneer, but frozen faces from botox impact

(17:40):
the entire atmosphere. I can see that, Ron said. Audience
members will be submitted to an expression check at the
front door to ensure their faces are able to smile
and laugh.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Before being admitted.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
All right, let me see you smile. If you can't smile,
you ain't going out right.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
So smile, laugh, crown gotta go.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Can you see a big nasty sign at the entest
to the comedy club.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
It says stop if you have a poker face dot
dot dot please read these rules.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
You gotta sit your ass in the back where the
spots don't hit you. I can see though, because if
you have botox, you can do any versions on your
face and the comics don't know if you're laughing or
you fixturing people who just are frozen in their face.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
Ha ha ha.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Oh yeah, what a great story.

Speaker 6 (18:29):
I'm like, I don't know if I can beat this,
but this one's about a habitual violator.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
You guys know what a habitual violator is. Someone who
ain't got no sense to stop what they're doing. When
they don't get arrested him yeah several times, then they
just keep doing it.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
They're kind of hooked on doing the same crime raising Arizona, Hi.
He was booked on robin convenience stores and whatnot. All right, Well,
Ross Rosewner of Aurora, Colorado was a habitual violator, except
he took it to a new dumbass level. He loves
to rob gas stations, but he's addicted to robbing the

(19:03):
same gas station over and over again.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
That's good way to get a rest here. Eventually.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
I think they know him by now.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, not twice, not three times.

Speaker 6 (19:13):
Five times he's tried to rob the same Shell gas
station in Colorado.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Oh man, they caught his face on camera every time.

Speaker 6 (19:20):
You would think that he would learn that there was
cameras in there if he had robbed the place previously.
So this guy never even thought to cover his face
all five times he tried to do this. The robbery's
occurred over a span of two months. The most recent
incident took place in February. Two felony charges have been
slapped on him, but we'll find out how many other
charges he's facing when he appears in court today. It

(19:43):
probably is not going to help that he conducted the
first robbery of the store two months before his previous
charges were even dropped for guess what a mask.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Okay, this story is only funny because of this woman
name all right, one hundred and eight year old Shitsui Hakoshi. Yes,
her first name is Shitsui. Oh my god. She says
that the formal recognition by Guinness World Records for the
world's oldest barber brought her much joy. At one hundred

(20:18):
and eight years old, she's still cutting people's hair even
though her hands are probabliche eking a little bit good
way to lose an ear. She was presented with an
official certificate from the international franchise last Wednesday. Guinness World
Records has a separate category for mao barbers, but the
man who was certified at age one hundred and seven

(20:38):
in twenty eighteen, he died and leaving Sitsui as the
only holder of the record now. Her career has spanned
nine decades, and she says she owes it all to
her customers. I could only come this far because of them,
she said during a televised youth conference in her hometown
of Nagagawa, northeast to Tokyo. Born November tenth, nineteen sixteen

(21:03):
to a family of farmers in Nagawa. Shitsushi I mean
Shitsui decided to become a barber at the age of
fourteen and moved to Tokyo, where she honed her craft
as an apprentice. She got her barber's license at age
twenty and opened a salon with her husband. And she
says she has no plans to retire anytime soon. But

(21:24):
with a name like Shitsui, don that sound like something
you get from eating too much chop suey.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
And with a name like Shitsui, she should have been a.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Plumber, not a barber. Damn Rod. Yeah, she didn't think
it through, of course, you know she did.

Speaker 4 (21:38):

a three song CD inside which has my granddaughters singing
the background to Dinosaur Pet. And it's the tune of
Calendar Girl.

Oh yeah.

Speaker 7 (25:09):
We were taught to write very hooky, uh singable, catchy
tunes and kids seemed to latch onto it. And my
son Mark wrote the book with me, and it's a
great learning thing for i'd say two to six year olds.
They look at the words in the book, they look
at the illustrations which are great, very Disney like, and

(25:29):
they listen to the song the music, and it's a
great way to start kids off to love reading.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, and you were one of the ten Panale greats
I got admire you really were.

Speaker 7 (25:40):
I've been fortunate from Sinatra to Elvis have covered my songs.
Even Elton sang the background on Bad Blood. I never
really had to work with some other singers in the
in a studio, but hopefully very soon I'll make a
duet album with some of my favorites.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
All you did was write the songs and collect the checks.
That's how you do it, Neil.

Speaker 7 (26:04):
It was hard work, many years at that piano, trying
to top yourself.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
And I do remember you from the early days on
American Bandstand. How many times were you on that show
with Dick Clark?

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (26:15):
He started me off, God Rest the soul. He started
me off. I was eighteen years old. He had me
on with O Carol Happy Birthdays Week sixteen next door
to an angel. Breaking up is hard to do. He
had me on for Laughter and the Rain, all of them,
and Shindy too. Shindy, Yes, absolutely. And I was the first,

(26:37):
I think to do the rocking New Year's Eve television.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
Why.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
I remember seeing you on the midnight special when you
had yeah Yeah, and you were what song were you singing?
I think you were singing bad Blood, I think so.
And you were doing this little thing with your neck
and it looked kind of creepy, you think, so, said Neil,
Are you okay race or something that?

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Well, the whole body has to move in music, you know,
the whole body has to move.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah. I can't believe we're talking to Neil Sadaka. I
know I grew up with your stuff too. Yes, well,
thank you, thank you.

Speaker 7 (27:13):
It's been fifty five years of singing and believe it
in not sixty years of writing songs, and I still
hear the ones I wrote fifty and sixty years ago.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
It's amazing. Well, what's the song that has brought you
the most royalty checks?

Speaker 7 (27:26):
I guess it was breaking Up, because breaking up is
hard to do. I recorded twice in as a rock
and roll song and many years later as a slow ballad,
and I think I might be the only singer to
do that. So that's the signature song. And I think
Laughter in the Rain was responsible for the comeback, so
that's special.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
And bo it was in nineteen sixty that Neil Sadaka
wrote the first version of Stairway to have it before
Led Zeppelin, Yes, but it wasn't these.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
It was the first.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
You can't copyright a title, you know, you could have
many songs at the same title.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Was there a big competition between everybody in the Brill
building like you and Jerry Goffin and Carol Kane.

Speaker 7 (28:11):
Oh, we were all friends. I brought Carol up to
the Brill Building. We dated for two minutes and we
were all very good friends. Barry Man and Cynthia while
Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, Howie Greenfield and I were
the first team to go into the Brill Building and
it was a phenomenal thing. It was young writers and

(28:35):
the music publishers were young, and the artists were young,
the Chaffons, the Righteous Brothers, and I was the first
to sing in the real building. Though.

Speaker 6 (28:44):
Did the Beatles Beatlemania did that kind of crimp your
style a little bit?

Speaker 5 (28:48):
Well?

Speaker 7 (28:49):
People asked me, didn't you used to be Neil Sedaka?

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (28:54):
I know, but you know I wanted it with a vengeance.
Once you get used to having number one rec you
never forget that feeling. But I'm a good friend of Paul's.
As a matter of fact, my six year old grandson
is a Beatles freak. He has every record and we uh.
Paul invited us to his concert last year in Las

(29:15):
Vegas and he had us backstage and he signed all
of my grandson's records.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Do you miss touring or are you just done with
that part of your life?

Speaker 3 (29:24):
No?

Speaker 7 (29:24):
I still do forty concerts a year. Wow you I
still do it, oldie, but goody.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Don't give up. Neil Sedaka everybody, the one and only.
Thanks for talking to us, and good luck with a
dinosaur pet. I love, I love, I love a dinosaur pet.
That's today. Take care, Thanks Neil.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Bye the bow in Them Shell.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Lom Star ninety two five. My oldest daughter, Jessica, when
she was little, she couldn't say submarine. She says supper
e suffaree. We all live in a yellow Sufferee. When
my little boy was tiny, he couldn't say hamburger. He
would say hangiber close enough to get the message. Okay, now, Ringo,

(30:14):
we've had it here a couple of times, and he
told a story about being in Dallas, and there's something
else added to it. I want to ask you if
you are familiar with this song. Listen up. Are you

(30:35):
familiar with that?

Speaker 5 (30:36):
No?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Thank god? That is Ringo I Love You by Bonnie
Joe Mason better known as Cher. She made that because
she was a huge fan.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and you know what I found out today, I've
never heard that before. But also, Ella Fitzgerald did a
Ringo song? Really did you know about that? Did she
shatter glass? When she sang it like she used to
do in the memory ex commercials.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
No, was a long time ago when she did it,
But you know I only heard it this year.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
You know, you're hanging out with people under saying, well,
did you ever hear the Ela Fitzgerald one?

Speaker 1 (31:09):
You know we heard that Lawn Green one, Ringo? Oh, yes,
Cowboy one.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
So there's been several songs, but that sure I've never
heard before.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Well, she was actually Boddie Joe Mason at Yeah. And
I got another story. We know this woman, a girl
at the time, Yeah, who was waiting outside the hotel
you guys stayed at when you played Dallas in sixty
four and you walked by her and she reached down
and grabbed a handful of grass where your foot had
stepped in. She got a piece of ringo.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Well, it was crazy days, I mean, you know, I
mean kids were climbing up seven or eight stories of
a wall of a hotel trying to get into the
window where we were.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
It was like mad And I.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Think it was Dallas actually that before the plane came
to a halt, they were on the wing.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
And we looked out the window.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
And there's a couple of faces looking right back and
were still taxiing faces looking in just like William Shattner
in that twilight Zone episode. Oh yeah, exactly, twilight Zone ish.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Anyway, it was straight. It was crazy days, but that's
what they were, and we love them. And you know,
Dallas has two great memories. That's one of them for
me and the other one. I came to la in
seventy six and seventy six or seventy seven went to
a super Bowl party here and I had to pick
a team, so I picked Dallas, Ah. And the follow

(32:36):
up to that was then I wanted to live in Dallas.
And the follow up to that was I've got a
private plane and a friend and I went to Dallas
to look at homes because I wanted to live in
Dallas all because of the Dallas cowgirls.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Well you would have been more than welcome here if
you had see Ringo could have moved to Dallas.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yeah, because of the Dallas cowboy cheerleader.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Look at him, right, I've got a lot of history here.
That's cool. How about a parody of the song we
just played by ring Oh yes, yeah, yea yell abas

(33:24):
The word is yeller? Are yeller? If you're gonna play
it in Texas. That's what you say.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Again?

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Dallas Former's classic rock lone Star ninety two five coming up.
We have tickets to see Jason Bonhams led Zeppelin Evening
that's coming to the Majestic Theater on May the twenty faced.
And how are we gonna get my way? Yeah, you're
gonna have to identify a celebrity when this celebrity was
a little kid. Oh okay, And I'm gonna play the commercial.

(33:58):
You don't have to identify the toy because it's obvious,
but listen to this kid's voice and you'll have to
tell me who it is. I'll give you some hints,
all right, Okay, good, thanks for the hen. It's a
kid who's been in show business for sixty years. A
lot of people I know, I know, Okay, I don't
know if any of you were lucky enough to see

(34:18):
the Jay Giles Band live in concert. It's an I wish.
Oh man, they were so good. I saw him like
three times at the Warehouse in New Orleans. Peter Wolf,
singer of Jay Giles Band, turned seventy nine over the
weekend and we had a little visit with old mister Wolf,
I wonder.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Who this is?

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Hello, Hie, Peter Wolf, Sir?

Speaker 5 (34:41):
All right, sorry I took a little longer. I kept
getting like a kind of weird backed thing. That's something
weird going on.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Well, there's always something weird going on at this place.
How you doing, man? First of all, let's go back
a while. The first time we ever crossed paths was
back in about nineteen seventy nine a show you guys
did the Jay Giles Band at the Warehouse in New Orleans.
Oh wow, yeah, it was your tenth anniversary and we

(35:09):
brought a cake out on stage said happy tenth anniversary,
and they spelled Jay Giles wrong. How do you do that? Man?

Speaker 5 (35:16):
Oh man? You know we used to play the Warehouse.
Matter of fact, there was a great piano player by
the name of Professor long Hair. Oh yeah, absolutely, and
his house burnt down. So we were down in New
Orleans and we were playing with Muddy Waters and we
all ended up. It was the Neville Brothers, it was
Fats Domino, it was Doctor John, there were so many

(35:39):
all of great New Orleans musicians came out and they
invited us to come out on stage, and we just
everybody just played all night to raise money for a
professor long hair that was.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Quite a play boy. That's that's quite a bit of
name dropping right now. That's cool. And I remember after
this gig at the warehouse, we all went out to
dinner and I said, oh boy, we get to go
out to dinner with the Jay Giles band. And I
was telling this story the other day. The waiter that
was waiting on us kept giving you grief about divorcing
Fade dunaway, and I looked at you and I said,
what business is it of this jag offs? What you're doing?

Speaker 5 (36:12):
What were we drinking some of the Kentucky's findings down there?

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yes, we actually we were. That might have had something
to do with it.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
I bet it did.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
I remember you reunited the Jay Giles Band for the
Bob Seeger tour about two years ago, and I always thought,
you can't have the Jay Giles Band without Peter Woolf.
Did you leave or did they kick you out or
what was the deal?

Speaker 5 (36:33):
Well way back, they sort of thought it would be best.
They want to go in a very pop direction, and
I was not too it thrilled by that. No, And
I was working on songs called lights out that became
my first solo album. They thought, well, maybe you should
just become a solo artist, and so they went their
way and I had to go my way. It was

(36:55):
not a very pleasant time. It was a very hurtful
time because bands a very special and as Bruce Springsteen
said when he was inducting you two to the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame, he says, easy to put
a band together, but it's real hard to keep it together.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
First time we played in Detroit, this is kind of funny.
We played at a roadway. It was an outdoor show
and it was the Jay Giles Band, Iggy Pop, Alice
Cooper MC five and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels
and the opening act was this guy called Bob Seeger.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Wow, it's a wonder you survived a bill like that
and lived to tell the story.

Speaker 5 (37:34):
And also there was that big band, Oh boy from Flint,
Michigan helped me out.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Here, Grand Funk Railroad.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
Yeah, they were on the bill too.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Wow, that's a he's a radio brother. Didn't you work
at Boston Radio for a while.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
I was a wolf of group of Mama toop of
making a niece fees your bladders, splatter of siniors got
to come out. That's the rock and roll is all
about doing the tune and getting right through it. Half
the little Ladies of the Night, kids from Malabunta and
keep it all hit, having a little fun until the
sun give us a call, and don't.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
You stall my hand man. That would hurt my lips
if I tried to do.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
I used to do that from midnight to six in
the morning, five days a week.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Well, I had somebody ask me one time. They said,
what the hell does Peter Wolf mumble on the Full
House Live album before Wammajama And it sounded exactly like
what you just did?

Speaker 5 (38:21):
Well, I think I think it was sort of take
out your Fallsy's Mama, or.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Well, sometimes it does. Sometimes you have to tell yourself
not to gag. Really, I mean, everybody's had a heartbroken
one time, geez.

Speaker 6 (38:43):
And sometimes to make love work you gotta throw a
little stank on it. That's right, Put a little hot
sauce there, you go.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Okay, we have tickets to go see Jason Bonham's led
Zeppelin Evening at the Majestic Theater. That is on May
the twenty first. So it being toy box Tuesday. A
lot of times I do a toy commercial. Yeah, this
time I'm doing a toy commercial. But you're gonna know
what the toy is. I just need you to tell
me who is this little kid in this commercial that,

(39:16):
like I said, has been in show business for sixty years? Okay,

Call the Aska Stuff Hotline two one four eight six
six eighty six hundred. Leave your question there, we'll answer

(45:46):
We just did Peter Wolf, and now we're gonna do
Robin Trouer. Robin Trouer turned eighty on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
Oh my gosh, my brothers loved Robin Trouwer.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Well, then they'll like this segment. Here's our interview with
Robin Trouer, mister Robin Trouer, how are you, miss t
I'm good? Thanks? How you doing? Oh good? Robin Trower?
Everybody and I had this idea of a religious program
starring Robin Trower. We would call it the Robin Trower
Hour of Power? Can I get a le amen? What

(46:24):
do you think, Robin? What do you think it won't be?
Joel Stein? What I saw procyl Harem one time opening
for King Crimson. Were you with them during that tour
or not? I think I probably was?

Speaker 5 (46:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Remember can you remember what.

Speaker 5 (46:42):
Year it was? Oh?

Speaker 1 (46:43):
I know you're gonna have that? Seventy one?

Speaker 9 (46:48):
Yeah, yeah, could have been, Yeah, I would I left
Procylin seventy three, Uh yeah, seventy two.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
And then Bridge of Size comes out and I said,
wait a minute, this guy was not in procyl Harem.
That don't sound like White or Shade of Pale or
Conquista or to me, but damn, that's one of my
favorite albums Bridge of Sizes, even to this day. Thank
you very much. I appreciate it. I assume when you
do a live show you play a couple of snippets
off of that. Oh yeah, definitely. I love to play

(47:17):
those songs.

Speaker 9 (47:18):
You know, they're very potent pieces of music and a
bit of a challenge to pull off every time.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Oh stop it. You could do that in your sleep.
You're so good at that. I wished. Were you ever
bothered about the comparison to Jimmy Hendricks when you first
came out. No, I don't think so.

Speaker 9 (47:35):
I mean, you know, along with BB King and Albert
King and a couple of other players, you know, he
was a big, big influence, you know. I think of
those guys as my mentors. The only thing that bothers
me is in the comparison is I don't think you're
being fair to him, because Jimmy was a genius, you know,
and I don't think it's fair for anybody else to

(47:57):
be compared.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
Well, you're not.

Speaker 5 (48:00):
I tell you.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
The first album you ever bought with your own money?
What was it?

Speaker 9 (48:06):
I think it might have been one dozen berries Berry.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
One doesn't oh, I take it there were twelve songs
on the album. I can't remember. I just think one
dozen berries here. That makes sense, doesn't that?

Speaker 5 (48:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (48:20):
All right? The first concert you ever went to, what
was it? Rock music? You mean? Yes? And maybe maybe
it might have been the Rolling Stones, which tour was at.
They just had their first record out. He goes back
a little further. Oh, I'm just trying to pick your

(48:41):
brain out and see, ladies and gentleman. There he is
in the flesh, the great Robin Trauer. Happy birthday once again, there, sir,
Thank you very much, appreciate it. Did you get tore
up on your birthday or not?

Speaker 5 (48:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (48:53):
I think I went to bed early. Oh so you're
at this point where I got to take care of myself. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
we don't worry about that anymore. Thank you, Robin roder
Troller everybody, thank you.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
No bod I like shoot you in with bb gun,
lay there in the tall grass and wait.

Speaker 1 (49:11):

Speaker 3 (49:31):
I always love it on Sally Field's birthday that you
play that song.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
No, but Johnny Knoxville, that's this guy's cousin.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
So nice.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
That's good enough for me. Okay, coming up, we have
tickets to go see Zebra for their fiftieth anniversary towards
the House of Blues on April twenty seventh. But uh,
let's take a look at this and see if you
can explain this to me. US national parks reported a
record three hundred and thirty one point nine million visits
in twenty twenty f but a memo from the National

(50:03):
Park Service allegedly says, don't publicize those numbers whatever you do. Why,
I don't know, Probably because they're fired people and didn't
want to.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Say how many people they don't want to compare.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
According to data published on the National Park Service website,
there were six point three six million more visits last
year than there were in twenty twenty three, with twenty
eight of those parks setting new visitation records. Now, the
National Park Service is directing employees not to share those
numbers with the public unless they've been asked. The alleged

(50:39):
memo comes upido widespread confusion and chaos at national parks
following those mass layoffs and rehirings as the administration pries
the downside the size of the federal workforce. They're just
gonna cut stuff as fast as they can with a
sword instead of a scalpel.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Kind of like corporations are doing.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Yes, I wonder if you'd think I.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Back on February nineteen, Trump and his buddy Elon fired
nearly all about one thousand newly hired National Park Service
employees who maintain in clean parks as well as educate
visitors who have questions or concerned. It's unclear why the
Interior Department oversees this would issue such a directive. But surprise, surprise,
they ain't saying nothing when you ask them about them.

(51:24):
I didn't think they would.

Speaker 4 (51:25):
One of my favorite places, Carlsbad Caverns, they sent out
a memo saying that they won't have any more park
ranger tours. What so you're gonna have to do the
tour yourself.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
Isn't that sad?

Speaker 1 (51:38):
If you fire the park rangers, I guess you can't
have them doing Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Yeah, just you know, grab your Wikipedia with you, boy.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
That's self tour experience. That sounds really safe.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
I didn't learn anything because nobody there to explain anything exactly.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Remember when we talked to Rick Springfield a couple of
weeks ago, Bo, you and I okay, Well, seventy five
year old Rick Springfield is dealing with the effects of
a bad fall that he had twenty five years ago.
The Jesse's Girls singer revealed to People magazine that a
recent full body MRI scan showed that he has brain
damage from falling during a Las Vegas performance back in

(52:14):
two thousand. According to Rick Springfield, I fell twenty five feet,
hit my head and then wood came down and hit
my head and then my head hit the stage again.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Damn.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
Rick Springfield told the outlet that he's not someone who
doesn't want to know what's wrong with them, which is
why he had the MRI scan, But his father was.
He says, my dad died from not wanting to know.
He thought he had stomach cancer for years and never
got it checked out. Turns out Rick Springfield's dad had
an ulcer that burst, which could have been fixed if

(52:44):
he'd only gotten checked out. Well, Rick didn't seem like
he had brain damage when we talked to him, though. No, No,
he sounded great, very very fine.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
And I know you were melting in your hands. Oh
my god.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
It was everything I could do not to just.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Gush all over. Well, that's showing some good restraint there,
all right.

Speaker 6 (53:06):
Bringing it on home for a big, big problem that
we have in these parts and more, and that is
way too many incidents involving drunk driving damage, sometimes even death,
if not injuries. But luckily, this eighteen year old guy
three years too young to be drinking in the first place,
was arrested for DWIA after running a red light and crashing.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Into a Dallas please gosh, oh oh.

Speaker 6 (53:35):
This is the second North Texas officer hit by a
drunk driver in less than one week.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
What the hell.

Speaker 6 (53:41):
That's two in one week, you guys. That's a lot
of drunk driving going on. The crash happened yesterday just
before three in the morning Cedar Springs and Manor Way,
right near love Field. A Dallas Police sergeant was driving
north on Cedar Springs routine call and boom, a Chevy
Camaro heading east on Manor Way flammed through the light
and right into his car. He's lucky he's not a

(54:02):
dead police officer. The squad car veered off onto a
grassy area. The Camaro stuck to a utility pole, and
the driver was identified his eighteen year old Francisco Sanchez Alfado.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
He's being charged with DUI.

Speaker 6 (54:16):
It's kind of hard to deny when you've been drinking
when you run into a cop and they stick their
nose in there and it smells like a brewery to say.
The sergeant was not hurt, thank goodness, but taken to
the hospital as of her contact.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
Here's a former tax preparer from Mansfield who is headed
to federal prison and must repay more than ten million
dollars after pleading guilty in a case involving false tax returns.
You know it is tax time. According to the US
Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Texas, Festus A
Dennis Simi pleaded guilty. You mean his first name is Festus?

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Been a gun smoke fan.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Yeah, he's gonna say where his parents are really big
fans of It had to be. This was the hobbled
old shie Kig of Marshall Meddillin played by Kim Curtis
on the Yeah, who would name their kid Festus?

Speaker 3 (55:09):
I judged a gun smoke fan.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
That damn right. Buba and the US restaurant chain Hooters,
known for our waitresses and low cut blouses with their
including even smashed together and short short skirt with the
butt cheeks hanging out the bottom. Well, it is going
to open its first branch in Israel this summer, in
the Mediterranean seaside city of Tel Aviv. That's the only

(55:35):
place in Israel other than Jerusalem that I can name.
Tel Aviv's version of Israel is expected to miss mimic
most of the chains other restaurants in the US and
in twenty three countries, including China, Switzerland, Australia and Brazil.
It is certain that some people in Israel will take
it as a slap in the face of their religion.
But you should at least hear the commercial for it. Okay,

(55:57):
would you like to hear the commercial?

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Please, heay.

Speaker 2 (56:01):

chicken sandwich served up by hot young waitresses in knotted
t shirts.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
Hi, y'all, welcome to Hooters and the home.

Speaker 8 (56:25):
Yes, Hooters in Israel go together like spaghetti and cocaine.

Speaker 6 (57:16):
And he's driving, he's out behind the wheel making a
living in this mucky muck traffic.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Yeah, and he can't.

Speaker 6 (57:22):
He hasn't won anything in years. He's psyched to go
to Zebra Excellent.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Going to be there for sure.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Oh absolutely. I couldn't see my boys last time they
were in town because well, I was crippled. Okay.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
There was just a little mishap at the St. Patrick.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Yeah, a little yes, that's all. It wasn't a little
whoops of daisy.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
It's the ghost of a stripper, pushed him.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Yeah, because because I was. I was stranded right by
the million dollars saluon.

Speaker 3 (57:51):
I'll never forget that.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
And I kept trying to explain where I was. So
somebody come get me, and they said they can't find
Jes said, tell him, I'm looking at the million dollars saloon.
I go, oh, okay, now.

Speaker 3 (58:02):
We know where it is. Yeah, the fire chief, because
oh yeah, we.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Know where that is.

Speaker 6 (58:08):
It was the ghost of old Candy from back in
the eighties stage number one.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Now there you not Tipper, no stifter. Okay, here's a
recent meet and greet at Disneyland Resort. Now you know,
performers dress up in their costumes. They could be a
Cinderella or a Goofy, or it could be a Mickey
or Mini Mouse or a Tigger.

Speaker 3 (58:31):
I had a little run in with Tigger.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Well, this meet and greet has turned into a viral
debate about theme park etiquette and character performer safety. You
see a video making the rounds on TikTok shows a
young child grabbing a hold of many mouths of nose
and pulling on it, causing the performer inside of the costume.
The loser balance and fall, only for the child's parents

(58:56):
to blame the performer instead of correcting their little bastard's
back age. That's what's wrong with the world today, gumming.

Speaker 6 (59:02):
You can barely see inside those costumes and barely breathe too.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
In the video, the kid grabs it many mouse's nose
and pulls hard. Despite her attempts to remove the child's hands,
she loses her footing and falls over. Now a character
attendant helps her back up, but instead of apologizing, the
child's parents appear to yell at the performer instead of
the child. I don't know how you can blame the
performer instead of the child when it was your kid

(59:29):
that made the performer fall off. Yours mom and dad.
The viral clip ignited a heated discussion among Dinsley Park fans,
with most everybody online placing the blame squarely on the
kid's parents for their lack of discipline. Agree but a
handful of commenters blame many Miles, arguing that she lost
her balance after trying to remove the child's hands too aggressively.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
Oh believe yeah, don't blame many.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
At Disneyland Resort and Disney World Resort. Character performers must
remain in costume and maintain the magic at all times,
even when faced with challenging interactions like this one. Sad uh.
The heavy costumes and oversized heads also make balance and
mobility a big challenge, meaning even small tugs or unexpected

(01:00:17):
movements can lead to serious falls, which is what happened here.

Speaker 7 (01:00:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:00:22):
Now it's six Flags. I don't know about the Disney
World or whatever, but it's six Flags. When one of
those costume characters goes out, they have an employee escort.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Well they should.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
There you go, here's the video.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Bo oh, there it is.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
Yeah, you can tell the little grabs it little snot
millon little back for many.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
Wrangle your children.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
I have the good name of a lawyer, minie. If
you want to sue, well, who knows. That's just stories
like that just piss me off. Yeah, make your kid
behave for gods. Hey, we're going to open up the
