Unfortunate Live Discovery - FRI 6.2

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's important.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
What about Well, there's a news story today about this
TV host in Philadelphia and he finds out live on
the air he has skin cancer. He's doing a segment
on the air and they're talking about.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Do you have a skin cancer doctor? With him?

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Well, here, I'll here's the clip.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
This is uh Mike Jerrick, longtime co host of Good
Day Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Philadelphia. Nobody really cares, Billy Yead. We don't wish. Everybody
I talk to that's ever been to Philadelphia ever been
to a sports game of any kind. I don't care
what they're playing. They just are you just there for
a weekend or something's just awful? People? I don't want
to go.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
I agree, But this guy's got cancer?

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Do we do?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
We know that he's from there, he's just working there. Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Do we really have to kick him when he's down? Billy?
That feels a little mean to me.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
And I think he's listening.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
No, he's doing his own morning show in Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Doesn't make it? Okay?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's other people are list and they probably feel the
same way I do. All right, So Mike, go ahead
and make us cry with your sympathy story.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Mike Jerrick is the caused of Good Day Philadelphia guy
just beat prostate cancer a month ago. Here he is
interviewing doctor Joanna Walker. She's a dermatologist from the University
of Pennsylvania's Tara Miller Melanoma Center.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
As I suspected, he is a skin cancer doctor on
his show, and they're talking about the importance of skin checks.
What followed was anything but scripted. As Walker examines Jerrek's
arm during the segment, she points to a suspicious mark
on his right elbow. It turns out it needs immediate attentions.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Oh okay, so this is a basil cell skin cancer
chol that.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Is, what are you going to do to it?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Burn it all?

Speaker 4 (01:42):
This one probably needs to be cut and.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Stitched what and then stitch me up?

Speaker 4 (01:46):
So this one is a very slow growing type of
skin cancer. It's not going to spread to anywhere else
on your body, but it needs to be removed so
it doesn't keep growing and taking over a normal skin.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Oh good lord, So he should make an appointment today.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Imagine as a leave anything you see on TV, Well,
don't you imagine that was probably all faked?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well they said it wasn't, but I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
She might have found it while they were off the
air and didn't just wait until they got all the
air to present the news to him.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
It does seem like a cruel joke to play on
the air if it wasn't real because he just got
over prostate.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I don't doubt it it's real. I just wonder if
that's when she noticed it first, Mike, if they saved
it for on air.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Mike, you have become synonymous with cancer. Hey, we need
somebody on the show to have cancer, Mike.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Come in here. I already have cancer.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's a shame he didn't have a prostate exam live
on the air. They would have found that prostate cancer sooner.
Of course, you would suggest that hell of a program too.
Shame of it all? Wake up to her first thing
in the morning.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Huh yeah, Well it's something else, all right, I guess.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Normally we do sports first, but we might as well
get this over.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Are you so gay for Space?

Speaker 2 (02:54):
And now The.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Walton and Johnson Show.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Present Gay for Space?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yes, we are game for space. It's a homo eerotic
space report. Our radio show reaches many places around the
country where there are NASA facilities and space contractors and weirdly,
rocket scientists actually turned us to get the news, so
we're gonna tell them what's going on.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
And it's brought to you by Oh, I thought you'd
never ask.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Just in time for the big summer super sale, Get
THET dot com is sponsoring this program, or this portion
of the program. At GETTHET dot com. You can save
because I got a Y two get one free thing
on all the T's great clintse becing of good for
your health. Go get THET dot com. Then, on top

(03:40):
of the savings for the sale, promo code WJ saves
you even more money.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Wow, promo code WJ. That's like a gift from God.
It's really the promo code I'm the most excited about
in this equation.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
But it's all pretty good stuff, all right. So you've
got all these different private space firms. You've got Rocket, Ast,
Space Mobile, Virgin Galactic, whenever Jeff Bezos's company is called.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Nobody really cares or even knows.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
But the thing people are paying the most attention to
right now, and for good reason, is SpaceX. SpaceX always
controversial but also kind of tends to be the only
one that's any good.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, But now Elon Musk says he's gonna just shut
the whole company down and fire everybody because you don't
want to go to space anymore because it might make
Trump look good, and you know they don't like each other.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
All of a sudden, there are twenty two billion dollars
worth of SpaceX government contracts that are at risk right
now because of an argument yesterday.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
On Twitter, which is just amazing. Huh. Really yeah, even.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
If you think this was all planned out, manufactured that,
it's still funny.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
It is hilarious.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
It's still silly. It's boys will be boys. I don't
care how rich, how powerful, how old you get. Boys
are still just boys, y'all. Never for me ever grow up?
Do you?

Speaker 4 (05:02):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Absolutely not.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Now.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Everybody seems to think this feud right now is about
ev mandates, or about Elon Musk being on drugs in
the White House, or the possibility that Trump gave him
that black eye. That's what I think happened. But there's
this other detail a lot of people don't realize.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Like maybe Elon tagged his old lady. He's been going
around and pregnant and every woman he sees, maybe he
decided to, you know, hook up with the big dude's life.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Bro, that could happen, Now that you've said it out loud,
I don't think anything else.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Happened, right, that's the first thing I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I don't even want to tell you what I was
about to say, because now I think that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
And you know, we did have to necessarily you'll go
full out and tiger. But what if she just let
its lip that you know he tried. Well, you're right,
that makes more sense than the Jared isaacman. Excuse what's that? Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Okay, Well, the aerospace community was caught off guard by
President Drump's withdrawal of tech entrepreneur Jered Eisman as the
nominee to be in charge of NASA. Apparently, this guy
is a Democrat Party insider, but he's a friend to
Elon Musk, and Trump pulled his nomination because he didn't
want somebody in his administration that's going to stab him
in the back.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, he went through all that in his first four years.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
He don't need that again, No, he doesn't, right exactly,
And so Elon's ticked about it, they claim. But anyway,
this all might be for nothing because later today Trump
and Elon are going to have a meeting and hang
out with each other. What if the only reason why
they did this was so that Elon could lower the
Tesla stock and then purchase more of it. I mean,
it's not the craziest theory.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
And of course Tesslo stock is reacting the way they
probably hoped it would. It's going back up now after
a big drop yesterday, So maybe that was the overall
long term intinting people.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I know we've said this before, and I know people
never believe us, but this is when you're supposed to
buy a stock. You're supposed to find companies that you
believe in, wait till they have a bad day, and
then buy the stock.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Why do you believe in the company? You said yourself
many times, you would never buy one of.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
These, Thank you for asking. I would also never have
gay sex, but I own Grinder stock. I would also
never bomb Paraguay, but I own Raytheon and Lockheed Martin stock.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I invest in things people are gonna.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Use Paraguay of all places.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Because I just wanted it to be some third world
crap hole where you're like wait, or where it's always
some country you didn't even know. We were at warren
like Kniere or Yemen. You're like where the f is Yemen? Yeah,
that's a place where we're at war right now.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Perious. If you even know where Paraguay is, Yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Right over there. Anyway. The point I'm getting at is this,
So that's my no.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
I would invest in Tesla stock because I live in
this neighborhood where our radio station is at. And do
you know what I see everywhere I look, Tesla's all
over the place. I see liberals driving them. I see
conservatives driving them.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
I see other evs as well, And I always think, like, boy,
I bet that guy's wife has a boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
But it's always the Tesla's, generally the EV you see
them money.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
That's just in this neighborhood where you live at.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
I never leave this neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Does that sound wrong to you when you hear that?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
What?

Speaker 3 (08:01):
This is where you live at? I live?

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah? Yeah, this is where you live at. This is
where you work at.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
I'm given fantastic financial advice and you're over here playing.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Ram or Nazi.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
He's nitpicking again.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, you are nitpicking.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
I don't think any's got any nits left. You picked
them all last year. Yeah, you feel good with all
those nits? How's that handful of knits treating? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:20):
You know what you are. You're a knitter picker.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's what you are at at Yeah exactly, yeah, exactly,
sick and tired of it. All I'm saying is, if
you have a boat this summer, I have a throat.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Hi, can I rin a boat for the entire summer?

Speaker 3 (08:35):
And Johnson play Gripsong and it's something making to move to.
I think they'll be coming back.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I'm gonna guess they're probably a little more excited about
the Carter for today.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
I bet that's what they're probably listening to.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh ah, yeah, the apparently the uh Little Wayne's got
some new music coming out here.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
They're really except.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
They have they appealed to to Lil Wayne.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's the tenth anniversary or I don't know. For some reason,
the Carter four is trending right now. I thought that
was an album that already came out. Oh, I get it.
It's a tour, the Carter four tour. Lil Wayne's about
to go on tour.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
So anyway, well that's exciting, yeah, but nothing about the
Escape Crew.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh, I bet they'll be there.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I guarantee you if if I was a cop in
New Orleans just.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Came out of that concert, maybe Lil Wayne told him
me that I can't get you out of jail, but
I can get you some complimentary tickets, you know, not
like front rope, probably not even floor. Put me in
the room, so that's all you need.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Lil Wayne's an interesting guy because you know, you associate
him with the criminal element in New Orleans, and yet he's.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
You do why do.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
You do that?

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Probably because he's a gangster rap artist with face tattoos
from New Orleans. H But he's also pro cop anti BLM,
and he likes Trump.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
And probably loves his mama. Yeah, Proba and maybe Elvis.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Sure everybody everybody likes Elvis, don't be except for black guys,
of which.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
He is one. So nevermind that immediately doesn't make any
of this.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Out there old enough to remember when Elvis stole his sound,
his moves, his look and music from black people. That's right.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Apparently these white guys from the fifties spent a lot
of time stealing from black eyes.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
They did at the forties and the thirties and the
twenties and on and on and on it went.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
But I guess the black community made up for it
over the next fifty years after that by never mind
not yet, no, no, no, not done yet.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
It's six six. I love WJ. Call the show if
you want and tell us how much that comment offended you.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
I do have some upsetting sports news to share with you.
Outside of the actual sports report. There's a sports what
they call that on TV when they do like a
separate show for bad news?

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Is this an expose? A yeah, what's a separate show
for bad news?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Eh? It's this right here? It's not did I'm not
just say it's not the sports Report. I mean it's
a separate show sound about sports. It sounds like it
is sports. He doesn't pay attention, He doesn't. I mean,
the more you criticize them, the word he does. Whatever
you criticize it sad. Like you said sports and then
you're like, I'm feeling your dog. I know what you're

(11:11):
talking about. Now do you see the way he act
this year?

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Then he says saying this for years, this.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Is sad sports. Sad sports is still sports, guys. No,
this is a there's no game involved, there's no score
to report, there's no other outcome to prevent a van death.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Oh well that's sports.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Steve Right, formerly of the NFL, have passed away at
the age of eighty two. Now he got you know,
he got eighty two years. Some folks probably say you
should get more, but I'm sure you know, he did
what he could with what he got. The reason this
is a sad story. And I don't know if y'all
are aware of this or not, but there's a thing

(11:50):
in the NFL called the Man of the Year Award. Sure,
and this is what the trophy looked like for the
Man of the Year Award. You see that it's him, right,
it's Steve Right. Yeah, he posed, He volunteered for this
way back in the day. He posed to be the
figure that they turned into a bronze, you know, statue
that they would award. They call it the most prestigious

(12:14):
award in the NFL. I don't know. I'd like a
Super Bowl ring myself, but you know, if they want
to say that, because this dude died, that's day business.
He played for the for the Packers, for Vince Lombardi
back in the day. Oh yeah, they named a trophy
after that guy. Huh did they Yeah, I don't know
about that. Yeah, no, this guy the right Trophy. There's
a lot of awards being named after people. Well yeah,

(12:37):
really exciting stuff.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
So you know.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Now he also played for the Redskins, the Bears, and
the Cardinals, but mainly, you know, he was known for
his days and the Packers. Oh what I like is
the fact that back in those days, apparently men were
bold enough and fashioned forward enough to wear a cape.
That's what you got out all this true. He's wearing

(12:59):
a cap in the statue.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
I feel like I could pull off a cape. You
don't think i'd look good in a cape?

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Oh, I feel like you feel like you could.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
I'm gonna start wearing a cape to work, just to
throw you guys off, to let everybody know I could
do what I want around here. I could play the
sports intro when I want, I can wear a cape
when I want. I can even give you Megan Rappino
news when you don't want it.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
This was called the Gladiator Award when they first came
out with it, and nineteen sixty nine was the first
year nice and they gave it to Packer's quarterback Bart's Star.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Way back in the day, they used to have guys
named Bart all over the place. Nowadays hardly any parts,
not so much. It's just a cartoon guy.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
You know, who's this lady you said was bad news?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Meghan Rappido is out right now.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
I remember heard of the pink haired guy. Well, it's
a girl. It looks like a guy scissor.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Sister Megan Rappino is upset, but also a boasting that
her team, her soccer team in twenty nineteen, was the
gayest soccer team ever, and now women's soccer is not
that gay anymore.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
And that's so sad. I know, that's really why everybody
tunes into women in the soccer, right, Oh, nobody tunes
into women's soccer.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
From time to.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Time, we do wonder what's more pointless, sports journalism or
music journalism, And I still think it's music journalism.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
But it's close.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
It's like having an art critic. I don't need you
to tell me if a painting's good or not. I'll
decide if I like it. You don't have to explain
it to me. Music people reviewing albums for a living pointless.
If you write album reviews for a living, you're basically
just telling us you wanted to be a musician.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
It never happened.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
You just don't have the skills.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
The saddest thing you could do in journalism, but I
gotta tell you right after that would be the sports stuff.
Because beyond reporting on sports scores or actual news about
trades and stuff, does anyone really care that Megan Rappano
is sad that soccer's not as gay.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
As it used to be? Not a little bitty tiny
little bit. No, Like, what do you do with that
information now that you've heard? Like I could tell you
Trump and Elon are feuding right now and it caused
the Tesla stock to go down. That's right, we're having
a feud right now with we're talking to China about
the trade war and the fact that they just sent
over somebody over here with a dangerous fun guy to

(15:08):
destroy our crops.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
That affects you, that fun guy that actually matters. Right now,
we go back to the other thing. Megan Rappino is sad.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Oh, by the way, you're supposed to say, there's a
fungus among us. That's what people like when you tell
the story about, you know, their possible death from eating.
Lighten up a little bit. There's a fungus among us,
and it came from China.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
You every think about how hundreds of years ago there
was some guy in the wilderness and his job was
just to walk around and eat all the weird mushrooms
and see which ones kill you and which ones make
you trip.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
See.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
I don't think that was his job. I think the
guy that went with him it was his job to
watch what that guy ate and see when he died.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh, this is like that thing you always say, you
don't have to be faster than a bear m.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
You just have to be faster than whoever you're out
there with.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Nine to nothing host.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Game show is brought to you by.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Christ I can't find it. The hell with it?

Speaker 3 (16:07):
