Speaker 1 (00:14):
Hey, everybody, Hey, hey, everybody. It's all, Oh my goodness,
amazing to me how many people are in our studio audience.
Thank you all for showing up. It's when we're doing this.

this it will be New Year's So what are we

at Broadway and fifty fiftieth fiftieth, Yeah, Broadway and fiftieth

(00:56):
and our lovely our lovely host Ms Cathy set as
all up on the rooftop. We were.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
I'm sure you've seen the pictures by now.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
We were. It's weird talking about something in the past
tense that we haven't done yet.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's the world of podcasting.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah, the world of podcasting. An actor nonsensical talk. But
we were about a block away from where the ball dropped,
and uh, hopefully everything went great. You know, it occurs
to me that we could be doing this podcast and
you know, some wonderfully amazing or tragic event could have
happened on New Year's Eve. It's all good.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's gonna be such a good yay.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Oh well, well let me do Oh. So, by the way, here,
we're not we don't have ice cubes in our champagne.
We chill the glasses with ice. Swirl it. Okay, all right,
ain't you got no schooling? That does? So we wish

(01:55):
you here up here you can see it.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Mentas Greep finished at Harvard.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
But you know how that is, she's trying to get
the master's degree. Finished it home.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Wait there, I got always going to be and then
then got rid of the program.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
So it's a challenge.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I'm just trying to I'm just trying to figure out
where the hell Harvard is.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Love you, Happy New Year, May the year.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
What do we say?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I said it on my my post today, May the.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
May the best days of twenty twenty five, twenty twenty
four be the worst days of twenty twenty five. Okay,
so my dad used to say, love you dad. Here.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Can't beat it?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Is that? How you say that?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Probably not? I think it's more Boo Pico or something.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Isn't that? What's It's really good? The girls on ab
fab used to used to never watch that absolutely fabulous.
Oh my god, you watched.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Something called Absolutely Fabulous Girls.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
They were, they were funny and they were they were.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Was it a comedy show?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Many show? A British comedy show. Here, we're not really
come this way a little bit. So we have no topics,
nothing to talk. No, we want to talk about what
do you want to talk about? Topics we discussed No,
I don't, so just so you all know.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
To regroup. We were in New York.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
John's doing the show A Perfect Crime, and he's killing it.
He's so great, he's so great.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Love, I'm loving every minute of It's so much fun.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
He's got all these folks on Greenham afterwards. It's amazing.
It's really been a fun time. Right behind this, you know,
we got very lucky because part of the deal was
a Park Avenue apartment and it's gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
So great, Thank you Gary, Thank you Kathy.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
To terraces and you can go wrong, can tell we're
having an absolute ball and of course being a block
from the ball, the New Year's ball that was a tree.
I mean, that's a bucket list thing. I've had a
lot of people saying, well, gosh, I've always wanted to
do that. It's not easy because we even have to
have a pass.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
We do.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
We have to have a permission slip to get to
get there.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
To get by the hall monitors, to get to get
by the hall monitor.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
You know, from the manager of the of the theater.
So we're looking forward to it's supposed to reign. And
I know we're talking time wise, but you know, like
Freud said, what did Freud say, nothing, Einstein said it?

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Did Einstein say it? Or did Freud say Einstein said it?
Or did Einstein say Freud?

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Well, like Freud said, Einstein said, I don't even want
to repeat because you know it's going to be really wacky.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
The reason for all this is that one of the.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Einstein's like time is time, time doesn't really exist.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
It's it's sort of.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
A time is time. Time is an illusion. I know that,
and that's kind of fun to think about that way.
It is fun.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh you wait, but certainly in the podcast world, I know.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Where you're going. You wait, time is absolutely an illusion.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
And here we are Park Avenue in New York, John
Star of the play Perfect Crime, and we just one of.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Four people in it. Yeah great, it's only it's a
cast of four, and it's really terrific, but it is
very psychological. So that's why we've got on this, this
Freudian bent, because that's mentioned in the play quite often.
So there's a lot of there's a lot of, uh,
what happened once you got there's the books we talked about,
but here we go is my mont Blanc book? You

(05:30):
can tell because the mont Blanc is right there, and
there is that's your mont Blanc pen and yours in
your mine is in there.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
He's want of Christmas presents to each other. So we
went write notes to each other every day and it's
really been lovely. It has been in other folks, you know,
friends and fans have said, you know, maybe I won't
text so much, maybe I should write letters too. So
I think it's the spark folks to write. And John's
a beautiful writer, by the way he writes scripts.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I need to get back to I need to get
back to writing.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
This last couple of weeks has all been about diving
in and making sure that I know on my dialogue
and I follow the story of Perfect Crime as closely
as possible. It's very complicated. It's a complicated story. But
if you have had the chance to come thank you.
If you haven't had the chance to come and you're
thinking about it, you know, if you're close here in

(06:23):
New Jersey or Pennsylvania or New York or Connecticut and
you want to come by, please do and let us know,
let us know that you're in the audience, because it's
a lot of fun, but you got to bring your
thinking cap. It's very much like an episode of Colombo,
which I just started showing her. She had never seen
Colombo before. Peter Falk is Colombo is just fantastic, And

(06:44):
I'm kind of a Peter falk guy, but not not
quite as frumpy.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
You're definitely not well, but I'm smart, smart like Colombo.
If you're called John the Dashing Inspector and he comes
into Miss Texan, he's so smart, he's so swab and
so great. Columbo is clumsy smart intentionally intentionally. But John,
you're not.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
You're not like that.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's a little buffoonish. Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
You're like, you're like the hunky detective.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
So come see the show. But what are you going
to do? What?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
What's what's your New Year's resolution?

Speaker 1 (07:17):
You know, the number one New Year's resolution for people
is that they're going to lose some weight. They're going
to get into better shape. So that's a great New
Year's resolution, but I warn you, here's here's the way
to do it. Start uh, start small, Start light, Start
a workout that's ten minutes long, work out, stretch a

(07:38):
little bit, and work out so little that you can't
wait to do it again tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
It's so smart because most people start New Year's I'm
going to do it.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
We're getting sucks. I'm out. Then they got it. They
can't even brush their own teeth because they can't move.
That's the biggest mistake people make. And that is the
that's a mistake that the folks that own the gym,
you know, they sell, They sell four hundred and four
hundre memberships to a gym that can only hold two
hundred people because they know two hundred people aren't going
to show up at for the first day. Don't be

(08:06):
that person. It's really easy to get into better shape.
It's really easy to to lose some weight, but you
just have to start a little bit at a time.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Do you remember the place that I joined, which well,
I won't talk about it.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I'm not that much bigger than you. I'm just closer
to the camera.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
John's pretty big. When you're big because you're doing the
electrocution suit.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
I am, I'm doing the electric suit.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
We you know, we came up with this.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
She was so worried.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Was so worried about it because you have electric shock.
He's like, well, I'm going to get in the shower
first and make it.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
What you're going to do, what I'm going to get aower? God,
just thing plugged in. Don't worry, it's not plugged into
the wall. Okay, And you don't actually bring the little pack.
The pack is about the size of a cell phone. Uh.
And it's the the impulse pack, and it does the
uh it makes the little.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
It doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
They are I'm not sure it makes the little pads.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
If you've ever used like a tens unit, which has
little electrodes that you put on if you've got sore
muscles or something, a lot of times they'll use this
tens unit and it will.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Just kind of pulse. So that's what this is.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
And it's got these pads I don't know, maybe maybe
twelve fourteen pads on it from your biceps to your
thighs and it will engage for four seconds. Like for
four seconds.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
It's electricity, yeah, yeah, pulsing, so it causes your muscles
to contract while you are doing the exercises.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
But there's no weight involved, which is great, so you
can't you know, one of the problems with with weights
is people get over zealous.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I know I've done it, and you start throwing weights around.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Like a kettlebell. Kettlebells are great, but a lot of
times people will go right to the kettlebells and won't
have warmed up, and they won't have done really anything,
and they'll fling that thing around, and because of the
inertia and the way to the kettlebell, it'll actually have
you stretching further than you can.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
You might pull something. Then guess what you do.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
You're the gym owner's greatest friend because you stop going
to the gym right away. They're counting on that. Don't
be that guy, don't be that girl, be the one
that's six months down the road. The gym owner's going, Man,
they look great and they're still here. Damn it, damn it, Jim,
I'm a country doctor.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
John's gotten so big, his muscles are huge. I'm going
to take your jacket off and show them.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
No, do the muscleman.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
No, thank you, do the muscle man. They're really big,
thank you. No, I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
So if the electrocution suit is working on his word of.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Right, win win.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Well, but here's the question.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
I still have trouble finger out what to do because
I don't like a gym.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
I don't like the treadmill, and it's called out.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
So the good news is being in New York you
automatically get more exercise.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I mean, you walk, but you also automatically eat more
because there's so many restaurants in every corner.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
And yeah, New York probably has the best food in
the world.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
I agree. But you walk, you're so great you wind
up walking to a restaurant. Mm hmm, right, so you
kind of you don't defeat the purpose that's stronger and
your Yeah, it's New Year's so that's what this is about.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
You've been celebrating a lot of champagne. We are having
so much fun. We're so happy. We're so lucky.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
I tell John every day. We are so lucky. We're
so fortunate.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
You have our help, we have our love, we have
each other. We have so much and so many opportunities.
And so many great friends. So thank you all for
being supportive and we appreciate you and we I read everything,
and I'm leaning John does too, but you know, we
really do appreciate what you say.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
And your suggestions.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah about and someone did mention talk about the New
Year's and exercise and what you do, because I have
a problem with that, so I'm trying to rectify that.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
I'm trying to make that work.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yesterday, JOHNA and I did like stretches, and it doesn't
seem like a lot, but it is.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well to start. You have to start right, and you
can't start too big. You got to start with something.
The stretches we did were the P ninety X the
X stretch, which are great Tony Horton, great friend, great workout.
My gosh. If you can do pen I E X,
you can do anything. But so we started with that,
and I highly recommend that doing in the locks locks stretches.

(12:29):
Do a little walk, walk a little faster. A lot
of people have an eye watch. Now I haven't quite
figured out how to use the fitness program part of it,
but if you have that, it'll count your steps, it'll
do all that kind of stuff, and you can you
can get in better shape and stay that way. See
there's the trick. A lot of people get into better shape,
but they don't stay that way. You know, it's a habit,

(12:51):
so you have to build a habit. And that's one
of the things with my The suit is called the
Catalyst suit. We call it the electrocution suit, but it's
called the catalyst And the program I'm going through right
now is I think twelve weeks long, and it's called
build a habit. So it starts out kind of easy,
and then it gets harder and harder and harder. And

(13:12):
it's great because you do build a habit. You're only
supposed to do the Catalyst suit every three days. And
that's well because it fires on the muscles so deep
down that it's it's using they say, like nine of
your muscle tissue rather than just forty.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Scary though, because it seems like kind of a new thing.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
I don't know, it's been around for a while. Well,
the ten S unit has been around a long time.
I can remember, gosh, I think on dukes. I think
I had a waist belt that you wear that that
made your your ads contract. So it's not new, it's
just I think the notion of it being the whole
suit is kind of new. But look it up. Catalyst

(13:53):
K A T A L Y S S T not stt's.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
For the K.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, catalysts with the K and it's it's a great thing.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
It's not cheap. I warn you, it is not cheap.
But here's another thing. You know, you spend you spend
that kind of money on something you're not going to
work out once and stop, you know, because that voice
in your head is going to be saying, my god, man,
you spent that amount of money on a workout and
you're not going to do it. And John mentioned, hell
you're not.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
John mentioned mean the student. I'm afraid too, because I
don't want to buck up. I mean, I'm not thin.
I don't want to be thin, but I don't want
to be like you know that m A whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
I mean, I don't know what that is, but you.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Know what I mean, you're like real big and I'm
the Morning kind of built that way, so I don't
need to buke up.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
So I worar about bulking up.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
I'll tell you what Vince told everybody when they said
we don't want to get too big he said, don't worry.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
I'll stop you just before that happens. What do you
think it's an accident?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
You think people that are heard like that they just
woke up one morning and they did one rep too many.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
What you look like your Superman body? I mean, John
looks so you look so good and the suit is
like you even more. No, you're a beautiful man and
your body is just right and everything's just you know
that that suit. I'm a believer. I still worry about
it a bit, but it really has many difference and
you look great before.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
But it does build you up. But I don't want
to build up.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
So the walking one is a two and a half
miles a day almost every day.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, a mile and change there to the theater and
then a mile and change back, and then.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
The stretches and then they can fine.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
You know, maybe a couple more things that would be
kind of fun to do that would be physical activity,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Sure. Well, there's a guy that works, one of our
guys rent at the at the show, he lost like
one hundred and twenty five pounds. I think it's one
hundred and twenty eight pounds, And I said, what did
you do, and he said, well, during COVID, I walked everywhere. Yeah,
so telling a difference.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, walking makes a huge difference. It's not hard to do.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
I mean walking because when I lived here before, I
lived here a long time and this was my neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
I walked all the time and I loved it.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
So this is good.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
It's a little cold here and Aaron, but for the
most part it's been I mean really long.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
It's been very warm right now. It's almost sixty degrees
right now.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Walking is great, you know, and it's all hard in
your bones, on hurd in your body because running can do.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
That, right, there's no impact. So do that, you know,
start with something, but make yourself a promise. But promise
yourself you won't start too big. That's that's the number
one problem people do that. So whatever your work out
regime is going to be, start by walking around the block.
And then what we do in Nashville, or what I
do in Nashville anyway, is I started walking or jogging

(16:31):
around like two blocks on Music Row, and then three blocks,
and then four and then finally I'm jogging all of
Music Row. But I didn't try to jog all of
music row right off the bat, because I know you know,
I know me, and it'd be like, I can't do this.
I'm sixty four better not four.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
No no, no no no no no, no, no no no.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Do you have any topic or anything in particular you'd
like to talk about?

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Well, wait, aren't talking about it? John so German.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
He's just like you have to hog the regimen and
I have to hug the list. No, it works out
better when we talk about whatever we like. And we've
already touched upon the physical business thing and what people
think about for the new year.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
What about mental fitness writing, That's what this is all about.
Mental fitness writing. Also reading. So get yourself a book
and say, okay, I'm gonna read, or I'm gonna listen,
you know, listen to audible or start a habit. That's
the thing about a new year. You start a habit
and then stick to it. But try to make it
a good habit, you know, like walking, like running, like

(17:45):
I missed golf. Gosh, I know we.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Both miss golf.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
They have the indoor GoF and I don't like in.
I think it kind of even throws you off. I'm
not gonna fait it, although maybe it's.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Better than no golf at all. What do you spill it?

Speaker 3 (17:56):
No, I drink it. You know, that's my lips.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
It's like, that's your curls.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Those are my curls.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
That's funny.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Curls sixty and were having booth clicked O.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
We love that.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
The yellow label. It's really nice.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
It's just it's absolutely fabulous.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
It is.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
If you all ever come to New York.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
I think we should talk about New York a bit
because we're here, and we're here for another month.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
A little more agains, right, yep. Last show is February second. Yeah,
I guess a month for me, the night of February second.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
This comes out on the second of January.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, so this will be this will be great.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
It's so cultural, I mean, and the buildings are beautiful,
and there's so much history and museums and it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, I'm blown away. I mean, I've spent a lot
of time in New York. But I don't know if
it's cleaner now than it used well, trash is cliled
up pretty high.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Of all the things that there's one thing about New
York which is horrible and always will be is the
trash mountains along the street because they get bigger and
bigger and buy the theater where John's doing a perfect crime.
We have the biggest trash mountain of all.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Time, meaning to people, it's pretty big.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
On the sidewalk, it's that big.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah, that's trash. Get's taken home the time. Yeah, I
don't know, but we do ap plout.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
I mean, I would not want to have that job
here because I think they do it. It's basically an
all day, every day sort of a job. So if
you're in a city, if you're in New York City,
you're in your city, wherever you are, and you happen
to see the uh the sanitation department, tell him thank you,
because my god, if it wasn't for them, wherever.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
You live would just be uh, it would be terrible.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
And John's very good about thanking the police. He does
that really every day. Oh yeah, actually today police are
everywhere because I getting we're in the time warm for this.
But you know, with the New Year's and everything, it's
always a target. So it's a little scary, but I'm
guessing we get through it.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
It's scary.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Well, New Year's Eve target New York.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Oh really drones. Drones brought up, not me, No.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
One can happen. But it's all good. But the police
are great and they are on it, and they just.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Gosh, I wonder if there's going to be any drones
in Times Square that had been m m that would
be interesting, cause like Mars attacks.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
And what were they watching in Mars Attacks?

Speaker 1 (20:22):
The show that made it so they could understand Earth people,
The Dukes of Hazzard they go to it's the go
to show for Martians and uh, you know, aliens from
other planets to watch, just so that they can bone
up on the culture here.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
And what was the other movie?

Speaker 2 (20:39):
The Mexican Mexican with Brad Pitt.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
And they're watching going You Take Me to the Next Town?
Note in the El Truco.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
El Trucko they watched, but Brad Pitto was watching The
Dukes of Hazard. Oh in Mexico. Oh like a Motel six.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
But well, you know here's something too. Speaking of Brad Pitt,
it made me income George Clooney. Now, the reason I
break him up, it's because no.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yes, sorry, he blew it. He blew it. He's got
no friends.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Now they're blaming him.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
He's got.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Because he really got all the blame, and maybe he
deserves it, I don't know, but he got on the
blame for scooting uh Biden.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Now, well as soon as as soon as George Biden
needed to resign, Biden resigned, right.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
So now everybody's mad at him, and Biden is saying, well.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
I would have won and she was, so you guys
screwed up. So George right, oh yeah, he's become the scapegoat. Right,
he's become He's become the Republican's national treasure.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Right.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
And because because he's on the Georgia Georgia. I'm not
hating on him either, but I think, oh my gosh,
what did that backfire?

Speaker 4 (21:51):
All of a sudden, he's doing Broadway. I'm like, okay,
because there's a tendency. I'm not saying this is the
case with him. There's a tendency with actors if they
really haven't done anything for a while or something goes awry.
And this wasn't the deal with John because they came
on and we thought it was a great opportunity. But
I think they're timing is highway suspect with George plenty

(22:12):
because all of a sudden, Hey, I'm doing Broadway right
after all.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
That mess good night and good luck. Doing something like that.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
For many times actors if they want to revive their
career or kind of have a like a surgeons resurgence.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Or is it Researchence, I think it's research.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
You're right, so, but.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
To do well again and be in the spotlight yet again,
they do Broadway, So George plenty is I think it's
like ninety.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Nine performances something like that. Well, we'll see if you're making.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
A movie about it.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
So that's interesting they're making a movie about it. When
said that, you know, no, the advertisement advertisement is like movies.
Well they're doing that here. It's interesting they're doing Broadway.
They're shooting these very cinematic trailers for a Broadway show.
So they're making the Broadway shows look like movies. But
you know, kind of they are, because back to the
Future is here and and good night and good luck.

(23:05):
I think that was Yeah, we love the Zamecha's family
and what they what they've done with that. Hi, But
what was I saying? Look at that?

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Well, because they're kind of like doing.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
So they are kind of they're kind of promising a
a look that the play won't have, which I think
is a little bizarre bit. You know, if you're gonna
if you're gonna advertise a place, don't make your advertisement
look like Colombo. If you're doing uh, if you're doing
a perfect crime, actually film the stuff on the set.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
And you know, have it be lit the way it's lip.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Excuse me, that's just me because I I remember as
a kid there was a thing called Johnny Lightning. There
was also Hot Wheels, and when they did the advertisement,
they took every piece of track that they had and
they made this thing where the cars are racing around
and going in circles and doing all this stuff and jumping,
and it was the most amazing thing ever. But when

(24:06):
you bought it, it was like an oval, right, and
then you had to buy more track. You had to
buy more and more. True. I remember I was so
excited to open my Johnny Lightning box and it was
like and it was like nothing.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Maybe an was it an eight, because some of them.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Might have been a figure eight, you know, with the
little bridge, probably in a little jump. Yeah, that's right,
it was an eight, had a little jump in the middle.
But it was by no means what the commercial said
it was, and I remember being I wasn't hurt. I
was pissed off. I was mad as a as an
eight year old, like, what the hell is this? This
isn't the commercial. This is bait and switch. And it

(24:45):
wasn't even my problem with Sada's problem. It wasn't my
problem in Santa didn't know any better. He hadn't seen
the commercial.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Apparently, Johnny, it's cold outside and he can't stay Johnny,
it's cold and guess what.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
You know? You just interrupted yourself. I know so what.
That's hard to do.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I can do it all the time. So Tom Walpat's coming.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
To a show, Yes he is.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Wait, I'll tell us one day. I wish you would go.
But he is just going to show.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Up after the first after the trying to nail him down,
he said.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Not happening after the first there, Okay.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Well that means you're not coming today.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Well we don't have a show today, so okay, fine,
thanks for the info, Johnny.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
It's cool.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
Side.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
So I am very excited. When do they I get
the word wrong? When do they validate cadify? When does
when does that happen? When is when is twenty twenty five,
two thousand or January.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Sixth, apologize because I really didn't check.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
But it's I think I want to say it's like
the first Tuesday or something whenever that lands on, or
it might be the sixth every year.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
I don't know. I apologize, but but they do.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Probably not the sixth every year.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Remember the January sixth debacle? Crazy insane?

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Oh, I bet those folks are so looking forward to January.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Twenty first, people you know, went to We would have
totally gone. If we'd been there.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
And we'd have been in jail, we wouldn't have been
able to help President Trump win and we might really
be screwed. Yeah. So so those folks are gonna those
folks are going to be uh're going to get out.
We're going to get out, thank God.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
And I'm sure they'll be pardoned for whatever the hell
they got charged with.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Insurrection.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Well that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I never really got charged.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
With any I just don't get it.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
I don't understand the goolog And now is the end
of it.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
It's like, what in the hell, right, And at the
same time, we're up in arms about hostages, Uh it
were our hostages in Iran or in.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Palestine, there are hostages kind of everywhere.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Kind of everywhere, and we should be up in arms
about that.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
But how can an administration here I go again, but
how can an administration, which is thank god short lived,
it's almost over. How can an administration that actually is
holding American citizens hostage in our own country terrible pretend
to be up in arms about being upset about American
hostages and some other.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Countries bidens all these terrible like people who rape and
kill and destroy, you know, property and all these things,
and they get pardoned when they killed they killed the
little kids and they rape the little kid. I mean,
how do you do that? And then but all these
people who were just walking into the capitol with the
police are.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Not they are opening them.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah right, they weren't even there and come on in.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
I think we all know now that is fishy.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
At was stage We always thought that, but I think
now everybody gets it and they're like, oh well, and
they're trying to gloss over it.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
And there were not agents there. There were FBI Human
Resources dressed as MAGA. Republican twenty six.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Was that the number. I might be wrong, but it
was a lot.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
How many? How many? How many people coorse.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
You know, what is it when the police do it
and they can't actually do it? Entrapment? How many? How
many undercover entrapment human resources? Is too many to entrap
citizens of the United States. I think maybe one is
too many, let alone twenty six.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
But you know, they've they've been great about well, you know,
there's only only one or.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Two apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado have been taken over
by Venezuelan terrorists.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Gay members.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah. Oh, only one woman got set on fire in
the subway in New York, you know, so it's not
really that Well the hell, it's not a big deal.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Now there's too Yeah, so a woman and.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Then somebody else was set on fire or caught on
fire somehow, who knows.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I'm so glad station.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
I've been a Penn station in gazillion times in my life.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
I'm so glad we are getting rid of these people
who who, under the guise of public service, diminished the
suffering of their own constituency. Wow, that was a big
sentence for me. There are a lot of big words there,
come on, but they I I don't understand it. It's like,

(29:07):
how how the folks who are in favor of late
term abortion can be up in arms about about people
who seem to be abusing their children in a parking lot.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Oh, you can't spank your children.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
What are you doing? You can't spank your children. Corporal
punishment is bad, but late term abortion is fine.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
How the hell can you? Can you talk out of
both sides of your mouth like that.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Commercial though, or that little thing we saw when the
kid called the police on his mother because oh, that
was great on the butt, because what did you skip school?
He skipped school?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
He did something and he talked back to her.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Yeah, but I think he skipped school or something something
that he deserved it and they can't. He said, that's child,
and he said, so the cop is like turning in
his mother to make her go to jail because he
got spanked lunch or something.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
I don't think it was.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
They separated. If you haven't seen this video, you should
see they separate him, and the guy's interviewing the kid
and he says, so, does she do this a lot?
Said no, no, And and did she hit you, you know,
anywhere but your butt? That she no, no, but she
hit me really hard. And because he died, and you

(30:23):
think you think that they're going to go you know,
I think, oh my gosh, really are we in the
story of the world. And the policeman walks up to
the mother and says, smag him again.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Now that's not what he said.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
He goes, if you do it again, I'll thank you,
or is something at least.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Say do it again? He said, do it again, and
if you don't, I will thank you.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
That was funny.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Not sure how we got down that rabbit hole butt.
It is important what we do, raisee things, raise your
children your way right now. Of course we're not. We're
not condoning. Is that the word no, which which is.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Shouldn't beat your kids don't want But many of us
got spankings growing up. Oh yeah, that's child abuse. I mean,
you know, people have different ways of disciplining.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Well, the great thing about the belt is you don't
have to be hit with it except once pretty much
for you.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
I can still hear it. I can hear the belt coming.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Out of it. Hey go get go, get me something.
The worst that was get me something, l Rodriguez says,
So he ran and he got some dental flaws better
than a switch. I can still hear that swish swishing
through the air. That hurt.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
So John and I were talking about doing a show together.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
And we and we are going to.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
We can't get into the details, but we can tell
you what it is because I already announce it on.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Facebook to our much kind of the details, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
No, there are no details.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
We cannot announce that yet because you never want to say, oh,
it's at this theater at this time in the state,
and I put.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Posts well, and honestly, we haven't gotten the rights to
it yet. You know, I don't think that's going to
be difficult. What Wow, we have to get the rights
to do it and it's easy.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
It makes you think we don't have them.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Oh did you do that already? She may have. I
don't know. She does things without my knowledge.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Well, you're busy. You're busy with the show. Don't work
on the business stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
So we're excited about doing that.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Love letters, love letters. You said we couldn't get into details.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
We can talk.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
About the the details of one and where, but love letters,
and we have our blank And that's not how you
say it.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Apparently it's I don't know, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
What they said. It's like long blown.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
I don't think that's rights remain in Germany. John's German,
so you know they're engineering very well. Germans tend to
be good engineers and good at being organized.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
You're not.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
John will let you know.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I can't help it. I can't help it. I would have.
I so wanted to say one of these nights in
the show, I say I'll be you know, missus, missus Brent,
I'll and I wanted to say, Missus Brent, I'll be back.
I still may. I may do it and come in
as Christopher Lincoln as the as the inspector.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
You're a dashing inspector, you know, but sometimes you can
make dashing Christopher.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
A strange guy. But say my words, I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
No, the way you're doing it is so great. John
has mastered.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
It now, and.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
I know you every day find it new every day.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
That's the every day. That's the thing about a who
done it is you have to you know, you spend
the show figuring it out. Yes, it's a script and
all that kind of stuff, But there's a lot of
little nuances in it because I spend a lot of
times listening for clues when other people are talking.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
So after every show, I kind of have to forget.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
This sounds so silly, like actor actor nonsense, but I
kind of have to forget that I figured it out
so that on the next performance of the show I
can appear to be figuring it out. Otherwise I'm just
kind of sitting there, standing there and or just speaking,
and it doesn't seem to me to be very interesting.
So I'm enjoying the show a lot. And it's very

(34:25):
much like Colombo, you know, it really is. Especially the
very first Columbo ever had to do with the phone
and had to do with a certain color dress and
a certain color wig and all this kind of stuff.
And it was a.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Two R movie, right, that was the launch.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
John and I watched it the other night and we're like,
oh my gosh, and there are so many similarities between
the show and the play.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, it was amazing. Yep.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
So it's fun. Please try to come see it.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
If you can't come see the show, then go see
some other local theater wherever you are. I'm sure there's
local theater. Support local theater, because you know, actors need
a job, and they can't have a job unless there's
an audience. And we truly, truly I promise you if
you go support local theater, you will have a wonderful time.

(35:14):
The actors, of course, will have a wonderful time, and
you'll be able to support the arts in your community.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
And that's the real acting. I mean, no if that's
the TV and movies. But look, I've seen it all
like you've been in all of it.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
You can do a retake. Something goes wrong and blueberr
or whatever, you just retake it. You can't do that
on stage.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
No.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
If you mess it up on stage, everybody knows, everyone's affected.
It's a big deal. You cannot get away with it.
So stage is the real stage is something. It is
quite impressive, it really is.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah, you get you can do another take, but you
can't do it until the next show. So your take
is not thirty seconds long, your take is two hours.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Well, and let me explain or bring this up, because
this was something I need quite understand. So the other night,
guy John's understudy comes up, and you know, we're doing
the party, and oh are you coming here?

Speaker 3 (36:06):
You know that'd be great if you were there.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
And then John lets me know that he is the
understudy for all three guys in the show.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Right, Yeah, he's called a swing there every night.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
And he waits around to see if someone so explained
on Honey and then about the res story.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
So there are three there are three guys in the show.
There only four people in the show, right, so this
gentleman has to know all three male characters and be
ready to do them in like twenty minutes like that,
like twenty minutes. So we were coming across the crosswalk.

(36:46):
It was last night and a night before anyway, and
this guy ran the light and came came through that
bad and this one actually almost grabbed the woman in
front of us because this guy, this guy was just lasting.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
The guy was Yeah, so he came down fifth.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Avenue, I don't know what it was, and he came down,
he turned in front of us and came right in
between people.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
The lady's hair like swept this way because it was
that close, and we did almost grabbed her from behind
him pull her back to save her. Which John did
that to me when we first got here.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Remember the bike. Yeah, but had had that guy been
this fort long, he would have run into all three
of us, and you know, that would have been tragic
and terrible. But the swing would have had to have
done Asher with about twenty minutes.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Notice, I can't imagine.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
But he's ready to do Asher, he's ready to do Philip,
and he's ready to do Lionel.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
And these are all, like I said, there's only four
people in the show.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
So he has to go and sit there and all
on the lines and not even get to perform.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
I mean, I really admired that I couldn't.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Oh my god, I could not do it.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
John and I talked about one of his no.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
I'd live in I'd live in fear. I really would.
I mean, I I know my part pretty darn well,
but I can't imagine having to know all three.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
And so we came up with an idea.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
May we're going to try to seed this into the
Broadway mindset is Broadway all does eight shows a week,
and I think it would be great to do a
ninth show a week. Do it for charity, or do
it for schools, or do it for something, but call
it the swing shift. And since these folks are called
the swing team or a swing bring them in so
that they get to do bring them in they're already there,

(38:30):
but have them do a performance every week to keep
their chops up in order and also to make it
so they get some accolades, they.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Get some plus heroes.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
They really are. They're the unsung heroes of a Broadway
and off Broadway. In a theater in general, it's the understudies, right,
the understudies who have to be ready.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
And guess what though, what Gypsy has been off for
seven ninth because they're sick. They don't even have enough understudies.
They just started the show and everybody got six, so
they closed it down. I've never heard of that before.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
I don't think they closed it down. I think I
think they have postponed it or they've done I don't know.
I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Night now they're back up, but it never.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Heard it but the first week during during Christmas, Like,
my god, have we met opening night? Yeah, we met
a bunch of the investors on that show, and I god,
I just can't imagine because that theater space, as you
as you can imagine, the theater space and on Broadway
is very very expensive. So if you don't put butts
in seats, or if you if you've got to cancel

(39:34):
a performance seven or seven, my god, right off the
bat you know, which is when you want to make
the most amount of your investor back. I don't know,
so say prayer for the folks at Gypsy.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
Yeah great, Well, everything's coming up roses for you and
for me.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Oh goodness, I can't wait for January twentieth. I don't
know about you, but I just can't wait. I'm seeing
all kinds of things happening for the positive and the
positive time. Now we're going to go.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
But now John's doing the show, so there's no way.
We thought we'll probably maybe be dark on the day. No,
forget it. This show's dark on Wednesday. Right, that's not
the day. But that's okay. We'll be watching, right, honey.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Absolutely we'll be watching. It's gonna be great. And uh,
you know, Baron will be there. Now he won't be
the little yawning child anymore. He'll be the he barely
fits in the frame anymore. Nine, he's got to sit
down to be in the family photo.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
Wow, you're a big guy, I forget.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Oh my gosh. And he's calling on as he's seventeen.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
I don't think he's a freshman in college.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yeah, but he's probably graduate of that family. He's probably
sixteen years old and a freshman in college or a
senior in college. Yeah, very mare smart bunch.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Look for that bunch when you know, what's most impressive
to me is that they stuck in there when they
like through darts shot at them through a hatch at
all of Oh yeah, everything not only still standing, but
the man's going to be president the United States.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
And May.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
And I kept telling John, I said, oh, we need
a Cleveland. He goes, what does that mean? Well, Robert
Cleveland was the only president that won loss and then
came back to win. Y and the guy beat him
by the way.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Benjamin Harrison and Indiana guy Indiana.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
But anyway, so smart, so very smart.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Robert came came back Robert Cleveland, and Trump did the
same thing. So it's kind of fun when you see
the pictures and the presidents and it's like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
They left Grover Cleveland alone from Trump again. Yeah, they've
been attacking this man relentlessly, and uh, you know, let's
let's think about let's think about Don Junior, Let's think
about about Baron, Let's think about Eric, Tiffany, Let's Tiffany,
let's think it. But let's think about this family and
then let's compare them to Hunter Biden, shall we just

(42:02):
for a moment? So you know, my U my money,
My allegiance is with is with the family that seems
to be uh making children who are growing up to
be responsible adults that will help our country thrive. So
I'm excited about I'm excited about what this means. I'm
so excited about what Elon Musk is doing. Uh, the

(42:23):
vic Ramaswami. I'm so excited about what they are doing together.
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
He's like, guy, yeah, you're you're you're out of here.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Yeah, we're going to start, oh Chicago. Really okay, we're
going to start Chicago.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Because so and you're going to have to get past me.
And it's like, look, big boy, he is a real
fat guy. And it's like, look, you hate to call
someone fat, but he is.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
And he's like, you're not going to in New Year's resumes? Really,
what's his name? I don't care.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
They always have these crazy governors with these weird names,
and you know, and someone's going to bed and he's saying, no,
I don't care. But this guy is any audit because
he's telling the President of the United States get passing me,
It's like, dude, they're a legal aliens.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
It is what it is. Get over him.

Speaker 1 (43:11):

the president.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
If we went to Mexico with any I mean, we've
been in jail, is it.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
I would love for somebody to look up somebody who's
watching this. What is the actual definition of treason? Right?
I think if a police officer says get out of
the car and you don't, you're resisting arrest. Is I
think if the president of the United States says we
are going to come in and we are going to
help you clean up the illegal aliens who are killing

(43:42):
your constituency, and you say the hell you are, I
think that's also that's kind of like resisting arrest. I
think that's structional. I think substruction of justine, maybe not
treason the offensive attempting to overthrow the government of the
state to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying
the state into the hands of a foreign power, disloyally

(44:03):
loyalty and treachery. Okay, well, if you are if you
are favoring illegal aliens, especially those who have citizens proven
to be there with malicious intent, then I think you're
guilty of You're guilty of treason. I mean, you are
supposed to as a public servant, you are supposed to serve. Gee.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
I don't know the public, right, not the.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Illegal aliens who come in, like you were about to say.
You go into you go to Italy, go to France,
you go to Mexico City, you go some of you
go to Buenos Aires. And you say, I'm going to
follow my own my own drummer. I'm going to the
hell you are get out or stay, but stay in jail.
You know, here's some stale bread and some water, you know,

(44:47):
so you can stick around. You can get the hell out.
No country in the world would argue that at like

it gets more fantastic as it moves on. It does,
and you don't expect it. You don't expect to Mingo
the Shepherd, and it was really good.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
It's got to be like a.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
Low rate movie or whatever, because the minute the quality
didn't seem quite right.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
And sometimes a Christmas movie is can be a little
low budget. This was awesome. It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
I loved it.

the bus.

Speaker 3 (54:30):

human beings have to find someone to pick on.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
So mean, but you know they're they're like that.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
Yeah, look at that. I became the dance. I became

I don't have to. You know, what what are they doing?
I don't know?

Speaker 3 (55:05):
There you are dashing, you've been dashing.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Woody Hill kids, those were the ones that picked on me.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Whatody Hill? Who's Woody Hill was up the.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Up the street off of Carpenter Avenue.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
There was a little development what Hill called wood Woody Hills,
and the kids who lived in the Woody Hills were called,
in my world the Woody Hill kids. Yeah, hey, but
you well but Uman Duban.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
So they were up there and Hill kids, right, and
they would do things to.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Me like like uh, why are we talking about this?
They would do bad things. They would do bad things
to me, and then finally, at one point my mother said,
all right, that's enough. That's it. We're going up there.
You're going to kick the ship.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
Out of these kids.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
Do well? But I didn't. I mean, they just I.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
Remember he had his friends come in, like the car
and and like the ghetto guys, and.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Well this I just I kind of left. Yeah, So
we went up.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
There and guys, I'm sorrydn't say get it because.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Not fight for people. Ghetto now had a fight in
the middle of the uh in the cul de sac,
in the grass there, and it was pretty funny. You
had to do it well. I did well. I didn't
actually hit the guy. I was always afraid because I'm
I've been six foot three. I think I might have

(56:20):
been six foot four at my tallest during dukes. But
since I was about fourteen years old, this was you know, thirteen,
and I was I was they called me gut. I
was a fat kid. So they picked on me. You know,
they got to pick on somebody because they got nothing
else to do, so uh have it, you know, I
kind of I kind of did, but I kind of,

(56:41):
I mean I.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
Was stop after that though a little bit completely.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Yeah, yep, it stopped. It was my mother that marched
me up the street. Damn. It, you're gonna go up there.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
I'm tired of.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
This, you know, because they would just do do bad things.
But you know, kids are kids are chance, they are they.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
Are the germs.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
But I would have to I would be lying if
I didn't say that that part of my professional motivation
wasn't I'll show you you rat bastard? Right? You know?
So I know that those people who were in that
cul de sac on the grass fighting gut in nineteen
seventy three, we're just we're just either livid or they

(57:24):
were like, Hey, that's that guy. That's that's got Yeah,
that's got. Yeah. It must have been a special thing
for them, you know, because the great thing about television
is they could see me, but I couldn't see them.
You know.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
I used to think, I could you ever do that?

Speaker 1 (57:39):
You ever think?

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Do you ever think you could go up and look
at the television and look down on the island in
Gilligan's Island.

Speaker 4 (57:48):
No, this is embarrassing whenever the covers to be able
to say this. But when the internet started a lot,
when the internet started.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Oh no, I has my coffee, I was like, can.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
They see me?

Speaker 4 (58:00):
I remember thinking at first split second, I'm like I'm
such a moron before a splits they can see well,
actually they can right.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
This thing works both ways. People are looking at us.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
Mentioned what's his space with Linda Lavin and all of us.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Well, but yeah, and all of a sudden, yeah, because
Linda Lavin passed away a couple of days ago. Lyn
and I had been on the Alice set they shot
there right there. It was Burdbank Studios at the time,
and I met Vic tay Back and uh and he
was great.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
I met, I met Linda Lavin and Polly Holiday in
the gang.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
But we mentioned Linda had passed away, so it made sense.
Then yesterday she showed up on the phone. We specifically
mentioned Vic Tayback. So the pictures that started showing up
of Linda Lavin on my phone had Vic tay Back
in them.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
So you know your phone is listening.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
So so uh always, because when we mentioned a name
and won't see it, like two.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
A minute, right, really we do. We actually have one minute, Folks.

no point. So go to John Schneider dot shop. You'd
