Lake Night Health continues on Mark Allen along with the
Insane Darryl Wayne. We're gonna talk with Darryl are and
every now and then Darryl and I just kind of talk. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I prepare for this all the time.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah. Yeah, it's happening more and more. But I always
enjoy that, and I think that people do as well.
So what's new in your young life, Darryl?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Every day is new and interesting and unusual to say,
to say, at least I went to This is gonna
sound interesting to maybe radio people, but not to anybody else.
Last Saturday, I went to a radio reunion of sorts.
It's held early six months or so, and this one
was the same group of people, plus a few people
(00:54):
I hadn't seen a long time. So it was nice
to touch base with some of these folks. Some of
you would recognized, I mean, may not. Here's some people
there that were very popular on the radio fifty years ago,
sixty years ago.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I mean wow.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And the problem is that the rock communities has lost
so many people over the past couple of weeks. Rick
Darn'sry last week, sly Stone yesterday, and these are both
people that I had, you know, some sort of professional
relationship with and it's tough man. I was putting together
a celebration of life musical interlude for Sly and you
(01:33):
know this morning when I started hot Fun in the summertime,
it just brought tiered in my eye, It really did.
I mean, it's very emotional.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well it's also you know, by the way, for whatever reason,
I used to go to those We went several times together. Absolutely,
and apparently I've been blacklisted.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I doubt that you probably just didn't show up and
Jeff roached off the list.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah maybe so, I'm not sure. But let you go
and see these people again. It's always nice to see
people that you you've worked with or knew, you know,
twenty thirty, forty years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's interesting. I mean, the people that were there that
had been had the roughest time, been the sickest with
the people who worked at the Mellowist radio station. The
coast guys have just got their butts kicked medically. Brian
Simmons and Mark Wallgren and Mike Secularids and these guys
just have had a tough time of it, a tough time.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Sackleries was doing real well for a while.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I mean, well bounced back. I mean he's posting stuff
on Facebook every day of him in the hospital for
ninety days with an immune deficiency problem and you know,
I don't know what he had, the leaping out or something,
whatever it was, it was nasty and it almost took him.
And it was very nice to sit down and be
able to talk to you for an hour.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah. A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to
co host the Knejo Valley Day's Parade. It's something that's
been going on since nineteen forty eight, and I guess
in the the eighties is what I'm recalling. I did
a lot of those. We did them live at the time,
(03:21):
and we did just a variety and then so one
of the co hosts was Pete Turpelle.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yury BUMBLICKI worked for him as announcer.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, at k Andrea, which doesn't exist anymore. I don't
know what they've done with this. I haven't listened to it.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well, the doesn't exist because they took down the towers
in the towers, but the FM has got different call
letters and I don't know what it was, Lisa FM
or something or it's like Jack FM, except a female version.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, well they had there was kg Oe was the am.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Right when I worked it was comedy.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Radio, right right. I worked there before it was comedy,
it was talk. The owner GM was Jim Simon, who
was in the big broadcasting studio in the sky now
And I had met Jim when I was producing at
(04:26):
KFI and he came in to do some relief work.
He wasn't there very long. It was sad when they
took kg OE off the air. They the transmitter was
on some land that was very valuable, and I think
some people are living in homes on that property and the.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Sound is out in the easter somewhere travel at the
speed light away from the planet.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
When you see these people all these years later, do
they still sound the same?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Some of them? You know, Chuck South was there. He
sounds great. Lew Irwin sounds great, But physically some people have.
I don't know what it's about radio people. You take
more abuse or something, because you know, we do not
age gracefully did well.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
The last time I was at one of those, I
met a guy who had been at KCSM Radio when
it was a public radio station, an NPR affiliate, and
I actually took his position and was there for almost
seven years. Steve became a news editor. I think for
(05:37):
NBC is time, editing, videoing.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
These things exist because you know, otherwise a lot of
the people that I talked to were the people that
talk to me. I mean, we would go completely ignored
by life for a long period of time. There was
a guy, Mark Wallinger, who did a morning show and
coast with the Kim Ammadunser sure as Mark and Kim,
and they posted a picture that he and I together
(06:01):
on Facebook. I was just going to read you what
he wrote, because you know, it brought a tear to me.
Here I'm playing on my phone a radio program, which
is not a good way to go, but this is
the best way I know to find what I'm looking for.
Talk about yourselves.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Well, we all live on our phones now. Every now
and then I leave the house without it, and I
feel naked, and I often if I Mark, it's an
ugly thing to think about.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So here it is. There's a phonograph on Facebook. It's
under Jeff Leonards group and the group is Memories of
La Radio El Period, a period radio. There's a picture
of Mark and myself. I don't let me I'll show
it to you. We'll just have to imagine what we're
looking at. Now, let me go to the other ones.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, it's a little bright. I can back it up.
But it's interesting to see how the how some people
in radio have changed. I had a friend Darren, who
I met in radio.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And the first program Dick.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yes, he was exactly I didn't know him then, but
he became a great friend. Until the day he died.
He looked great. I just think he went a little
bit earlier than he should have.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
One person was there was Boyd or Britain. Boyd was
the morning news guy for Charlie Tuona both at the
Kiss FMVKDJ Back of the Day and he did a
Sunday morning radio program that was open for him where
he talked about and it was an appointment radio for me.
I listened to it growing up and really enjoyed it.
I'm sure you appreciated hearing about that, because who else
(07:37):
going to talk to you about that. He ended up
in k Rock. He was Dack on the Rock there
for there for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And John had been every place. He brought me into
kg I L. He was became a news trying to
think it was Oh, Financial News Network. He was the
first anchor there. I can see Mark.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Mark was a response to this, Mark Walligan, it was
great to see you again, he started, jeff who put
this on. It was great to see you and again,
I'm so grateful for the hard work you go and
putting these things, these gatherings together. I loved meeting your
beautiful wife there and two. It was a great turnout
and seeing so many legends gathered together. It's only been
(08:20):
through these get togethers that I met Daryl Wayne Well
only a few years older than me. He's saying he's younger.
I was at a crossroad age hearing him on KI
Rock back in the day. He's one of those that
inspired me to get into this crazy business. What a
great man. Enjoyed him thoroughly. Thank you, Jeffrey. So, I mean,
(08:42):
it's nice.

along with the and Saint Darrow, Wayne. We're reminiscing. We're
(13:13):
talking about we're talking about radio and I you know,
it's funny. I've always thought of radio as Oh, yeah,
you had a picture with Ms Casem. What's her first name, Carrie? Carrie.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
She is Casey's Casem's daughter and she is fighting for
the rights of children to have access to their ailing
or whatever the case may be isolated the parents that
may be being held away from the family by We.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Interviewed her on that a couple of years ago. We
should do it again, we.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Should, and she also said she was gonna give me
a couple of suggestions for my Parkinson's to help calm
that down a little bit. Casey had Parkinson's and the
first time I talked to her, she said, you know,
I needed to get on a gluten free diet was
very important. I didn't see what one had to do
(14:21):
with together, but I did it anyway. Right. That's the
way you get sober. You listen to somebody else.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
For a change.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Your own decision has got you in such a poor
position that you listen to somebody else for a change.
So I'm open to any suggestions that she or anybody
the audience might have. If they said stand on your head,
I would learn how to stand in my head. If
it makes me feel.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Better, I would get dizzy. Are you still on the
gluten free No?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
No, it lasted about a year. It was It was
probably worth it, but it was a hassle. I'm telling
you because you know, if you go to a restaurant,
you ask, you know, they don't have a separate menu.
They have maybe one item, the English muffin with THET
low in gluten well low, we're looking for zero. Well,
(15:09):
I'm not sure we have anything like that. It starts with.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
It's uh, it's hard slam to me, it's hard to
do a gluten free.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Ham slam rand slam. You go in Denny's and asked
for a gluten free slam.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It's sugar is the other one that they tell me
to not do.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I know. I told the Josh the other day. I
said I'd rather cut off my head than not eat sugar.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, it's I try not to eat it, but it's hard.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
But they say that it feels cancer. Well, I don't
have cancer, right, so let me Yeah, when I do,
let me know, and I'll stop eating sugar. But I
love I love my sugar, I love my ice cream,
I love my candies.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah. So Saturday, I've been wanting to make a lemon
cake and Carol was out and I decided to make
her dinner, including dessert of a lemon cake.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
And oh it's the the the cake had so much
sugar in it. It's and and and and we uh,
we've devoured it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's it turned out really good. It would have won
the Saddest Cake in the World contest. It was not
not very pretty, but it did taste good, so that
was that was uh a plus, it did taste good.
(16:55):
And the but the the I mean, the icing had
four cups of sugar.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I made bread. I make my own bread. You get
a bread machine, right, right, you put in the ingredients.
I don't use a mix. I put it in the
flour and the salt and the sugar and the water,
the butter in the yeast and all that. And one
of them started with a full stick of butter right
(17:21):
right in the thing, going into a loaf of bread.
That seemed to be extreme in my opinion. But you know,
one stick of butter is only half a.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Cup, right, I think I had to use. I think
for the cake I used two sticks, and I think
I used two more sticks for the icing. It was
really not a healthy thing to eat.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Well, Like a pound cake is like a pound of flour,
pound of sugar, pound of water. I guess I don't know,
do you?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I just read this. Do you know what Abraham Lincoln's
favorite cake was?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Lincoln lugs?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
No, No, I don't, but it was close. No sour
crup cake.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
That sounds disgusting, doesn't it. No carrot cake. I like
Harry cake, but that's about it. The only vegetable as
I get with my sweets.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's funny you should mention carrot every time we mentioned
carrot cake. Carol, my wife says, how come bomba lickey
hasn't given us more carrot cake.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Because they can't. He doesn't even leave the house with it, right,
I mean he makes candy every year at Christmas time. Right,
I've seen maybe one box of candy over the past
five years. But he says, oh, I'm making eighty boxes
of candy and make a hundred bucks. Came, there'll be
plenty of candy. Well, there's never plenty of candy, so
(18:47):
he needs to step up production a little bit if
he's going to serve the people as advertised.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yes, well, his his carrot cake was really quite good.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Oh yeah, it makes good food, he does.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
He makes very good.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
He worked as a chef chef in the in the
country clubs back east, just where you know people go
to eat nice places to go to, the country clubs East.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
He was from Ohio, from Hawaii and he remember I
remember him telling me growing up he had his mother
would make him fried bologney sandwiches, and my mother would
make me blooney sandwiches, but she never fried it.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
One of his relatives is chef boy r d oh yeah,
and he's still buy some spaghettios on ocasion just because
it's chef boy or d Wow. He's like a you know,
lost unclue something. I don't know what he is.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, I think we had we traded off between chef
by or de canned spaghetti and Franco American.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Well they had that can gravioli that was really good.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, actly, it's interesting. Uh. We were talking earlier with
Lee Schwartz. Uh, okay, thank you? Who who whose sons?
He wrote a book called Raising Giants. His sons are
(20:21):
in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And one of them they're supersized.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yes, the supercize. You know, they're there way more than
you and I put together.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
That's correct, right, It's it's truly.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I mean, these are big men, but one of them
wants to go into the food biz of some kind.
I find that. I find that interesting. A lot of
people fall into food.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Well. Plus, he mentioned either the same one or the
other one was interested in broadcasting as a career after
he's done playing in the NFL. And you know, I
think that there's a need for some sort of a
training or assessment process to see whether they could even
hack it in the broadcast business. It's not it's not
(21:16):
as easy as it looks, folks.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No, no, not at all. I'm trying to think of
he's play by play announcer for the Dodgers, but he
had been he had been a player. Steve Garvey, Well
Garby was one. I don't think he was very successful
(21:41):
in broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Well, I think that the the skipper, the coach over
there for a long time. I'm not a big sports.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Fan, right, yeah, neither. I'm trying to blonde. The guy
that I'm thinking about was blonde.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Huh. The guy was thinking about was Italian.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Oh oh yeah, yeah, I know here I can picture him.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, there's only there a million.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Years, right, we're going to remember it. It's interesting because
they they near the Angel Stadium.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Tommy and I did not use the internet. I knuckled.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But the Memorial or Angel Stadium not near Dodger Stadium.
I never understood that.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You you blanked out with with what you said.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh, the Tommy Lasorta Memorial Highway is near Angel Stadium.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Maybe he lived up there.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Maybe I am not sure.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
So Mark, put a bowl on it and stick a
fork in it. Because we're done.
