Welcome, Dan Levy, to really being honest about it's just a giant piece of shit, the big, silly Bald Eagles, a podcast exclusive that none of our bosses ask for, more sports, more work, less pay.

I haven't stopped talking in a month.

I mean, I tell you, just when you thought the show couldn't be more dilutive than last time I listened to this show. I haven't listened for years.

Now, here's the marching band. No way am I missing something.

What am I missing? The end of the story that face Chris Fallica. It's Fallica he made on the penis and the habitual liar.

I didn't ask for any and it was for all of it. The big.

I'm Chris Codi BSP and this is fresh for it's going to have to answer when they come back because they're both there.

Well, what is the back story on this bill? Because we didn't talk about this at all. The Fresh Prince reunion and evidently the Aunt Viv stuff was something that made people uncomfortable because Wildsmith admitted to being sort of, you know, a bit difficult on set. What are the details from the Fresh Prince reunion that have been interesting to you? I don't know anything about it, I mean, I'm just looking at these Instagram stories, I don't know if this is like a one off.

I don't know if it's like a photo shoot. Are they doing like a long episode? I don't know where it's going to air. I don't. Oh, wait. It says is on HBO, Max.

Yeah, it's HBO, Max. And I think it's just one show. I think it's one reunion show because it's not more than one, is it?

I believe it's one. There's a lot of pressure on this, right. It's better that it's just one as opposed to a whole, like, fuller house type thing. I'm nervous about it because there's so there's the expectations are going to be so high, I feel like. And if you just look at Will Smith's recent track record, like, I'm just nervous about it because I feel like I feel like he could do some damage here if it's just bad.

Well, how about this, though, because it's out already. It's available, is it not? Because I think it is, actually.

It's got glowing reviews so far. I'm I'm all right. I would riding a bike.

How can you screw that up? Because he's fifty instead of twenty.

No, I mean, it's it's a all in nostalgia play, right. It's hard to screw nostalgia up.

You guys tell me. Right. Because Happy Days, Jimmy Kimmel, I thought and all in the family, he did some interesting stuff where he was doing recreation's tapping into that nostalgia. Chris and Billy, you guys. I don't know Roy, I don't know how you feel about Fresh Prince. Like, are you as interested in Fresh Prince as as Billy and Chris were?

Yes, I was. It was one of three black shows, a television on the same network, The Cosby Show, in a different world. So I was very interested and I saw the reunion last night. Geddy Hubert, who played the original Vivint, had a heart to heart talk with Will Smith about what went on. And apparently she was an abusive relationship and pregnant with her husband's child and she took it with her on set. And we're all kind of made it hard for her to actually act.

And eventually when she when it became time for her to sign a contract, she felt like she wasn't getting paid enough. So she just left.

Well, she was hurt by it, right. I don't know what they did with the interviews, but I saw some of the clips that went viral of it being a bit of a shock to people. This was interesting yesterday on the local hour with David Samson, where David Samson is laughing at me. And the idea that I would be naive about how wrong it is that baseball players and basketball players and football players would have access to the vaccine before sick people and old people who need it more.

And David Samson, cutthroat mercenary about business, laughs at me like welcome to capitalism. Welcome to the real world. That's how business works. We as a country are run as a business. And then he got his heart broken because he views the movies and Hollywood and entertainment with the same mythology and child's eyes that some people view sports that Netflix wouldn't care about what content was. They're just grabbing sort of demographics and data that they need on things so that they can exploit what's successful and who to market stuff to, that it's a scientific cold approach to it.

He found that part of it disillusioning. Don't you imagine that people watching Fresh Prince Reunion were heartbroken, that behind the veneer of a fun television show that makes people happy, there was Will Smith, who's got a bit of a pristine reputation until recently, admitting to being a bit of an ego head when it came to his relationship with Aunt Viv. I would think that people who love that show would find that a little too real hurtful.

I think if you really care about the show and you're paying attention, perhaps and you're probably right, I don't think there's that many people who pay that much attention and care that much. They just want to be entertained. They just want some nostalgia. They just want to be brought back to their.

OK, so Roy, how did you feel about and how did you feel about that Will Smith apologizing to her for not being a good enough teammate?

Well, they both apologized to each other because Janet I mean, she lit him up over the years about because he told her that it was him that got kicked off the she thinks it ruined her career.

She thinks that right there ruined what was what was remaining of her career, rightfully so.

Well, wanted her on the show. She would have stayed on the show. Absolutely right, and she she's a prominent actor, just like James Avery was she was a celebrity, so it pretty much ended her career, but it was great to see to forgive each other. And the hug was great.

And her being revealed to the rest of the cast was great as well. So I was happy seeing that.

Billie Chris, you don't care so much about the show that you have found where this is and hunted it down yet.

So that's what I was realizing that I was going to tell you. I think I like the idea of these the Seljuk reunions more than I actually like them, because I know I get myself worked up and like, wow, that's really cool. The Fresh Prince is going to have Renia. Oh, wow. Fuller House is coming back. Oh boy meets World is going to be on again. Oh, saved by the bell. And I've watched none of them so I get like, oh wow, this is great.

And I'm wondering if I'm alone in that, like seeing this news. And I'm like, oh, it's going to be so cool to see these people together again. And then I just simply never get around to seeing them together again.

It's happening to me as well. The West Wing is my favorite show of all time and they had a reunion. My mom did gone. Yes. But I still wanted to see it and I still haven't seen it. So just avoid it.

I'm literally learning in this conversation right now that this is just a reunion that is like an interview type thing. I was thinking the whole time that this was going to be something where they're like doing an episode of The Fresh Prince, where that's what the fight is like a table read like.

That's why at the beginning of this I was like, oh, there's a lot of pressure on this if this is bad, like I sounded like an idiot thinking that this was like an actual fresh prince and a recurring theme for you this week.

Yeah, but Max is also doing the reunion. So it's good that they have like a template for success with this Fresh Prince one.

Given the way that that comment by you started, Chris, it could have got a lot worse because I thought you were going to say this is the first time you realize there is two on Vibs, which would have been really bad.

Chris, you are shaking your head, sadly. Why are you.

Rough week, man. It's you know, I'm going to bounce back next week. I'm going to be back.

You watch. It's forgivable, Chris. We all understand it's been a little turbulent lately. And so when you're bad, it also helps that you're bad and you sink into it and you suffer it. And then everyone gets the laugh, including your cast mates here, Billy Joel and Billy. Billy does seem to delight a little more than most when Chris falls into a sewer pipe.

I just Chris, I love you. And I don't say that often enough. I wouldn't put too much pressure on yourself for next week because there's only two days. So there's a lot of pressure.

And Monday is going to be a high pressure situation because if you have a bad Monday, there's no saving for we are already carrying today into the weekend, which is having a bad day and a Friday is really bad. But Billy's right. Having a bad Tuesday headed into Thanksgiving week. Oh, you better bounce back quickly.

But he also but he also said next Monday, the rare Monday, that feels like a Thursday.

I love those. It is the rare and maybe only unless there's one of those. Is there one of those during the Christmas break that we get off around here? Occasionally.

It's also the rare Tuesday that feels like a Friday.

Oh, you guys, I did want to get into with you, though, as we're talking about nostalgic shows from your youth dugouts. And I are older and our youth is filled with different landmarks. Roy straddles the fence here where he's got some knowledge on our old stuff. But when I think of Michael J. Fox, I don't think of Back to the Future Family Ties. I think of Family Ties, one of the most popular television shows of that period, back when there were three basically three network channel.

They're doing a I'm sorry, they're doing a reunion for that. Keep that in mind.

I don't do any of that. Please don't edit any of that. That's what I meant by God. No, but still, God has gotten very comfortable with taking stuff out here.

No, I have not. You have not. He's just gotten comfortable with saying take that out. Yeah, keep it in. Yeah.

So he he has announced, Michael J. Fox says that he is retiring from acting because that illness, Parkinson's, is such a ravager from the inside that that the the illness will not allow him to act anymore.

And so pretty quietly, a couple of days ago, Michael J. Fox, it was announced, had retired from acting. And it made me think, I don't know. Stewart, speaking of our childhood, what you felt. When the family of Tom Seaver, a champion pitcher for the 1969 amazing Mets, had to announce that they were basically putting Tom Seaver in a home for dementia, that what you remember of Tom Seaver and what the family remembers and loves about Tom Seaver, they were putting out a statement that that person no longer exists.

It's just a shell of himself waiting to die. And then he he later died. After that, I was made profoundly sad by Michael J. Fox announcing that he would no longer be in public in front of us because for so long he has been so brave dugout about continuing to work and continuing to talk to people as he he shakes in front of you and looks very vulnerable and still in some ways physically looks like the child actor who was in family ties like outside of this disease, Michael J.

Fox doesn't seem to have aged very much. It's just this disease is such a ravenous heartbreaker.

And if you've read any stories about him and the love his wife has for him and taking care of him all of these years and how difficult a road it's been for her, I mean, just so hard.

But he is a he really has been a monster inspiration. And I'd be curious what that retreat I imagine it's going to combine with a retreat from public life to God if he's saying I'm no longer acting anymore. My guess is that we're not going to be seeing a whole lot of Michael J. Fox on the late night circuit.

Probably not. Alex Keaton was the character's name. Yeah, it makes you sad that he was a big part, not just with that with that show. And that's what I remember him for, but also those movies as well. Back to the future.

But I think most people associate Michael J. Fox with the Back to the Future movies, even even in his his book references the future. But he was such a big part of of my childhood. I think most people who were growing up at the same time as us, a big part of their childhood, that show was much like The Cosby Show was for me.

There were many shows along that there actually weren't that many struggle, really. There weren't. There were. When you think if I ask you to name ten of them, I don't think you could like ten of them that feel to you like family ties. It's Facts of life. It's The Jeffersons. It's all in the family. It's it's what's the other one there?

It's the one with Alan Thicke, Growing Pains. Charmaine's. Yeah, certainly. And they're all in the family.

Happy days. Yeah. They have to be comedies, right. Yeah. Yeah.

But there weren't many is the point. Now you have so and so many options. This, this makes me wonder about how, how differently kids are growing up today.

Like how how many options is your child going to have about what their television is going to be? Because for a generation of us, it's all the same shows. It's ten shows. It's Dynasty Dynasty. It's Fantasy Island, Love Boat. It's not it's not that. Many show there's a new dynasty with a totally new cast that my daughters watch and they love it. The Carrington's Blake Carrington. It's so bad. It's really bad.

There are a lot of shows that they don't watch TV anymore. I'm telling you right now, my kids are watching Tock and it's the only thing they're watching.

And I watch TV shows and video game culture. People love watching other people play video games.

How crazy did you guys did you guys just reference the Love Boat? Yes, we did. Yeah, I'm old enough to remember Captain Stubing, other people talk about love, but I was more TGIF I Family Matters Step. But wait a minute.

So but your generation. See, I feel like Roy straddles pop culture wise. Well, you know, there wasn't a show we mentioned that you didn't know. Right.

You knew all us. I know I do all the shows that you guys made.

But I would imagine that Billy and Chris didn't, because I just imagine that those shows are too ancient for them. So was it the same for you guys, Billy, Chris, Tony and Mike? Where did you guys grow up on the same ten shows? And was Fresh Prince one of them?

Yeah, because Fresh Prince was replayed. That was when syndication was massive. What became upend and was now my 33 year afternoon. You get home from from school, you turn on ESPN, you watch Family Matters, Fresh Prince, a different world.

You'd watch all the great shows that I've seen every single episode of those shows. And I knew some of the older shows, too, because Nickelodeon at night would become like, I think I watch all these classic shows like I Love Lucy, I still watch I Love Lucy.

They're getting there. And I think you're forgetting there weren't just ten shows.

I mean, they were Charles in charge. WKRN in Cincinnati night called Webster Growing Pains. I love night. Caught a lot of show.

I would watch Night Court with my grandparents and Walker, Texas Ranger and Highlander.

Who would have thought this Joe Rogan from News Radio would have amounted to anything. Right. I love news radio.

Phil Hartman. So underrated. So how much catching up did you guys do with Nick at Nite Billy? Were you watching the same stuff Mike was watching on Nick?

Yeah, I watched all the old shows on Nick at Nite, like that's what I would watch before I went to bed. Like I Love Lucy. I feel like what else would I watch on there?

The Honeymooners dragnet.

And then when he got going early, late 60s and early 70s, when Nick at Nite would be and now Nick at Nite is shows that are twenty years old and you're flipping through the channels, I'm like, wow, this is, this is wack. But like I Love Lucy was essentially as old of a show to me as, like Everybody Loves Raymond is to someone wide watching Nickelodeon these days.

It's Brady Bunch, Diff'rent Strokes, Good Times where there are very few good times. It was one of the most depressing shows I've ever seen in my entire life.

They're still trotting out The Honeymooners. Are the I mean, that's going back to like the 50s. They recently redid it. Heidrun, how about you, Chris?

Were you doing it through Nick at Nite as well? Mm hmm. I watched all the shows these guys are talking about.

The only one that you mentioned that I've literally never heard of is Dynasty. Tony, how about you?

Like, because you're you're the youngest one in the entire group. Like, how much of the stuff that we're talking about here is outdated for you?

A lot of it, to be honest. But I remember watching Gilligan's Island and Beverly Hillbillies and the shows like that on TV land. There wasn't even Nick at Nite at that point because I'm since I'm like a half decade younger than almost everybody, like, I wasn't watching those things at the same time. So when I when I became their age, at that point, I was watching like PTI and around the horn, like the early versions of that.

You're watching me. I was a child. I'm your childhood, Lucy. So Summers on PTI. So wait a minute. Wow. So, Tony, I am a character from your childhood. You're Michael J. Fox. I am your Michael J, not Fox. Yeah, I am like the Fonz. Michael J.

Fat and Happy Days. Sit on it, Potsie.

Happy Days, Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie, which seemed like pretty much the same. And those ones I watched a lot.

OK, but you guys realize what you're doing. Those are not our childhood shows really, because all the things you guys are mentioning or 70s shows you're doing Gilligan's Island when all these ones that you've mentioned here recently are 1970 back to the 80s, I would go to specs and I would buy a CD of the greatest TV show themes of all time.

That's why I was singing along with the Green Acres theme, even though I think I've seen like three episode of Green Acres.

But about the parade, about a parade.

Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up Schröder's and up until it gets in the pig talk on Green Acres.

It's a good question, Billy. Jim Lefèvre also ended up on Gilligan's Island, I think he was, and they got off.

But Gilligan, poor Gilligan and the professor and Marianne really understood how the Harlem Globetrotters could just show up on an island and not help them back, play a basketball game and not help them back.

You're right. We're all right. Peace guys. Wait a second. They're trapped.

Have a heart.

At least tell someone, you know, did the Greenacres Pig talk on television? Was it a talking? Paga was just a pet pig. Does any. We want to remember why would you remember, Roy, you're my only saving grace here. I believe it was a pet pig. That was his name, Arnold. Yes. Yes. Charlotte's Web. Are you confusing it with Mr. Ed? Mr. Ed, which was a part of Nick at Nite?

Yeah, it's a talking horse.

Greenacres, by the Context Clues is a farm animal show. I don't understand the reference to the pig that.

It's a there's a Gábor in there now. Green Acres is the place outside.

Oh The Beverly Hillbillies. Wow. Kapos, the USA. Oh yes. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. We got to talk about this. Hold on a second, Tony. Do you know what that pasa USA is, are you not? Of course, Dan, I'm Cuban.

I have. I know. I don't know what that is. Watch out Spanish.

What Steven Bauer, who became Manolo from Scarface, was the was the dumb brother on Guebuza USA. What else can you tell people about Capozzi USA? Because that's the only show you talk about black shows. Roy, we didn't have. That's it. That is all we had that looked like our childhood. Capozzi USA was the only thing on television that spoke to Latin people like, oh, I recognize that.

I have to look at the history of Capozzi USA because to me was always the accent.

I think it's like 12 episodes waterboards it fondly. And there was like so few episodes of it. That was on Channel two. That was a PBS station, Four Seasons.

Thirty nine episodes. Every single one.

Yeah, many times. Many times. How funny is that, though, Mike? There's not a second show for Latin kids, is there, where we recognize anything about our childhood and we're not of the age group.

But George Lopez was that show for other people. Really. Yeah. George Lopez had a hell of a run that show George Lopez.

We're a little too old for it. But there were people Tony back me up on. This is the George Lopez Show, a big deal in terms of breaking down barriers for people of a certain age?

Yeah, I'd say for other people, I never got into it. Like I didn't speak to me the way it spoke to other people. But I'm sure that there is a certain subsection of people.

There's a big difference between Mexican, Hispanic and Cuban Hispanic. So obviously, que pasa? USA speaks to me and it's going to resonate. All the Hispanics laughing Yes, yes, yes. Next, George Lopez meant a lot to them.

I guess what I yeah, I guess that's the distinction I wasn't making. You were doing general Hispanic and I was doing specifically Cuban because Capossela USA was the only show I saw on television in which I recognized. And it was what my life was.

There was nothing on TV that was really the best like Cuban character in TV history.

I see no reason to moan about the weekly Menudo concert. What do you mean, the weekly Menudo? Did they happen like every Saturday Menudo performed on national TV? Am I hearing that incorrectly? I believe that. I don't think I think I don't I don't know what you're talking about. Menudo was on up. And what what what are you telling us happened? I'm just. Hold on. Hold on. Billy, what are you laughing at?

I'm just learning about this, too. So every Saturday I was like, all right, guys, it's time for the Menudo concert put on Channel seven that would give you like two songs.

And that's it. I wouldn't call it a concert. Just a couple of songs. I'll look into it all on.

Menudo was a boy band. Was it the first popular boy band? It was the first popular Latin boy band, yeah. I think.

Is there still a version of Menudo around? Because they kept bringing it back and they tried to take the vowels out of it. I tried out for it. They had casting for it.

Wait a minute, wait. Hold on. Yeah. Give us all the details that you can on your tryout for Menudo, please. Oh, I was bad.

I didn't speak Spanish, but we were going to say, wait a minute, you were eye candy. You were just there to look good as well.

That's what boy bands were, especially during that time. So they just any any Latin kid with a Latin last name that had a head shot was asked to hold on the audition.

Did they ask you to sing or say anything in Spanish and you couldn't?

No, I did my best. I mean, very clearly not not comfortable because it was my first language or a good singer.

But did you do you recall it with, like, haunting right now in terms of remembering it as a bad experience?

I remember that's around the time I decided to quit and boy bands are quit. What what are you doing? Acting because I that's why I went by my crime, because I kept getting typecast. I was like I wanted to try number and sync for Menudo, even though I don't belong in in-sync.

And I think because what Menudo no longer exists. Nineteen seventy seven to twenty nine.

Yeah. There was a reboot though. I tried out for the reboot and yeah. It didn't go well. How old were you. Right. I was in school.

I wish it was part of ABC's Saturday Morning Programming Block, a Menudo concert on a weekly basis.

OK, I'm glad that you came back to that though but I don't feel like it has anything to do with USA. USA, I think nothing that I think you just throw it in you. I think there's a big part of my youth. I think Stewart was simply trying to be a part of the most Hispanic conversation we've ever had around here. And so he looked something up on the Internet and it was a boy band and it was Latin. And he's like, Yeah, Capozzi.

I love that Menudo was always on. And everyone here was confused.

Billy most of all, he is actually 100 hundred percent right from nineteen eighty three to nineteen eighty five. Menudo on ABC was a series of four minute music sponsored during the fall. Nineteen ABC's youth oriented Saturday morning programming block.

Why about Hispanic entertainment that makes you look it up though you weren't remembering it.

We were all nostalgic and we just you know. But you it there's a question. So you look right, you look, something is right.

You just confirming you life your way. Right. Just trying to be a part of the conversation by lobbing some menudo at us as if you were an honorary Hispanic guy watching Sabado Gigante and the USA. Grosseto got you right. Still got chills, right?

Oh. On Weiner, who I have got to get the one Weiner, please, yes, we got to go to one Weiner.

Thank you, Billy. We I don't we don't do this enough. We honestly don't go back in the file. I know many of you think we do it too much hope this is OK.

So let's. Well, one of our older stuff doesn't age. We'll try it out. All right. Well, let's get sensibilities of change. Remember, if we step into a judge, judge us by the moralities, OK, like all in the family, let's set this up because I've seen those kind of warnings.

Have you seen them? They're now on television shows. They give you warnings that on the old shows, hey, there's some racist stuff in here. Like, I just know that we were racist back then. Yeah.

I would watch old episodes of SNL and be horrified that the N-word exists. And then I watch Chappelle's cold open. Oh, yeah. OK, just. No, we didn't give up.

Oh, no, no, it's not that. It's just a warning that, hey, we were so racist then we didn't know we were being racist. Sorry about being racist. We know we're racist now, but enjoy this programming with that context. So we don't know the one winner. We don't know if there's anything dangerous in here because it's a long time ago. But for some reason, we made two gods. Atila, do you remember what was the history of this?

Billi, why did we make to God to telenovela star Juan Weener where he was, you know, he was doing Spanish the way you imagine Mike was when he tried out for Menudo? I did it.

I don't remember how it started. I remember very panicked having to write in Spanish lines and essentially a script for Stew Godse. And I was like, this is hard in English now. I'm doing it in my second language. I only have this works.

How many have you heard any of this? Because I like the idea of just playing stuff for Tony that he doesn't know happened around here.

No, Dan, I actually listen to I went to the archives and found it on the Leadbitter. I'd read it a Juan Weener like at the beginning of the pandemic, because I remember this from when I used to listen to the show as a fan.

So I went out and I got Juan Weener and I found it. So it was at least the one that I heard was clean.

I have to dig through because I have like five episodes of context where one liner was torn up, like, look, I don't have the time to play some games going on today in the majors, top eight, the Cardinals lead the Reds 10 to nothing.

I have to listen to let's listen to some old show like this. How much time do we have before we have like about a half hour. But I do have the two on weener things. But we can go on.

Let's give some context here. I think people would enjoy listening to just how we used to do the radio show. My guess is that this time it was probably different than the way that we're doing it now. So let's listen to some radio show that we were simply doing some random radio show and I got to see some commercial music.

Let me fast forward past, OK, but I also have to give the audience the context of, again, if anything comes out here that doesn't hold up, there's warning is right now, we were all stupid back then and we didn't know we were being stupid. And now it's not OK to be that kind of stupid. Yes, Billy.

Or it was so bad. It was just edited out of this because this is taped and I'm still stupid. I don't know how to make his name more Latin.

Van Gundy is hurting me. Yeah, this is a tough one. You really can't. Latin guys. Van Gundy, it's like, well, the s the S.

S Stan Estyn.

I would think John Wiener might be hard, but Juan Wiener just works perfectly. Now, let me see, Stan, you understand what we're trying to do here, where we're trying to create sort of a television sitcom, me type feel to this. What we want to do is want to change the name of the show from Dan littered with God. We want to change it to I want Weener.

And like if you imagine sort of a cheesy 50s type Latin sitcom thing where I'm eating an ice cream and he comes by and he knocks it over accidentally and I look at him funny and he just smirks and then, you know, the trumpet blares and it comes out.

I want to weener like you understand what we're trying to do here would feel something like this is one reason and one reason and one reason. And one, we are either cleaner and greener, greener. He's one Peter, one green, it's one cleaner. So for at least a year. So out of his own. See thorium. I just want cleaner.

All right. I know that I'm trying to translate. It was moving very fast. I believe I got to the smelling like old fish. I mean, this is great. You can insult me. I barely understand English. You can do it. I'm pretty sure that what just happened there and look, there are worse things. You could smell like bribes, like the dumpster behind the crab house. But old fish, I heard Pescado in there.

Is that fish. All right, hold on a sec. Yes, let's see let me see if we can isolate this like morbid good old fish and BAEO you all. Also, you were serious softball ETR that was one of one of my favorite early episodes, in fact, where I would say that we started to find out that the show actually had some chemistry. Was remembering the discovery on the air of you being serious softball.

Oh yeah. I black. I would pepper the pitcher, I would talk trash, I'd slide into home plate, I'd slide in the first. I mean, whatever you got to do to win, he would do all the serious softball stuff. He would keep stats. He would what was some of the other stuff that he would do? It wasn't just sliding at second base. How much more? One winner didn't we have him being central at one point?

A telenovela? Yeah, that was the featured magic one or two point sevens, legendary deejay Ron St. John. All right.

Do you have that, the late Ron St. John? Does he did he die? I think I just kill. Oh, is that right? I think so. Oh, no, no. Fifty dollar. Fine. Is that a fifty dollar fine. That's fine. Are you guys sure. Did he just retire instead of dying. Oh no. Oh this is very retired. This is very tense. Is using think still with us. Ricksha died.

OK, I had a reverse. Wait a minute.

I don't know why do I only only hope he died so I don't know. Another fifty dollars.

You have an explanation as to why you thought Ron Saint John died. Is that why you don't break with somebody?

Ricksha did good news. Dan, he's dead.

Oh, thank you, God. Thank you. Congratulations. Yeah.

Well, what about what about Ron Saint John? So why didn't he do the Ginsu knife commercial?

And like, he I think he banked off of that. Well, he did one winner. So let's check out Ron Saint John's version. This is a telenovela star stewardess.

Well, remember, Ron Saint John was a bit of a swerve at the end of this episode. So it was a big it was a big reveal for our local audience.

This may not connect at all with the nation, but let's give it a try to figure out why we never got to El Cliched all mosque run dickason. No mosque. Okay. Oh oh. We buscaglia a more perfect pork estoy no Antonio smosh legatee skin on any money.

Still to come out today from San Juan de Magico Siento Dos Potosí JSH Maria Kosmala last take on one we.

I remind you that Mike Ryan says that Pablo Torres is in daily, is overproduced. There are some things I need to translate for you non English speakers at one point, non Spanish speakers and non English ones. I think we're fine.

Yes, I think that's true. God doesn't know much of what he said there in Spanish, though. No, one of the things he said was why am I so alone? He was on a search for the perfect cliche. Then for some reason he was mad, kind of at Maria, who had married his best friend, a dangerous delinquent. There was some fear of frogs in there for no good reason. And then Ron Saint John emerged and and and said to Stuttgart that he wanted to see his coward face and and then, well, he was the friend.

And then one wiener asked Ron San Juan what exactly he did with Maria. And he said, cosmologies.

Yes. Bad things. Ron St. John, I want you to go ahead and Google search, Ron Ron Saint John so you could see who the nemesis was that walked into Stewardson telenovela life and and judged his coward face.

That's next level stuff right there. I'm proud of that. What else do you have?

Do you have anything else from the Juan Weiner catalog? Is there more? Ron St. John, walk around with a boat captains hat, or am I remembering that that was one of the restrictions?

OK, so somewhat I'm not crazy. Not we're not crazy.

But I made the same mistake, though, Billy. My mistake was in hearing and learning that the sailor hat had passed away and thinking it was Ron St. John that I had the wrong legendary deejay.

There is also someone that you used to walk around in socks all across the studio. I don't know if you guys remember that up and down the hallways, just in socks. I thought that was weird.

Radio is weird, right? Radio Billy. Billy. Did you not know? Did you guys see you guys have had such a different experience with radio than the rest of us have over here, including including Roy, in that this world that we live in is not real radio. That one was all those weirdos in the vending machine cafeteria room, just an assortment of soup noodle eaters like that, just nothing weirdo after weirdo in there.

And I don't know if you guys ever saw this, but when I would stay late once a week or so, it was usually like around eight or so. You guys had already left for the day. So I don't know if you ever saw it. There was always like a tour of the studio for Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, like once a week or once every two weeks. And you just see, like, I'm there trying to put up the podcast and Fritos, doing a show in the other room.

And there was like that big glass wall rather than see like you just see a Cub Scout parade of people pointing in and looking at free to do a show and like wave because radio was fascinating.

Look at all these people talking into microphones, entertainment for young people. Those Boy Scouts as adults would be so disappointed by what those always actually looked like, because we exist in your head, always right to God's people. Now, television has made it different, but people usually think you look a certain way from your voice and are almost always stunned, not not with television.

Now that they know what you look like, they could walk in with excitement and they would end up being disappointed every scene because they thought, you are a big guy, right?

Like, the studios were nicer. They thought the studios were bigger. They thought I was a big guy. They thought you were thinner.

They'd never, never, never were happy, except when they were walking in, when they saw everything.

This point, I do miss pre radio and pre social pre internet, pre social media, radio, because it was such a mystery as to what people actually looked like. I remember once finding a picture of cocks on the radio and I was like, no, really.

I have to say I had the same reaction with France as a growing power and I had sex with this character on my.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. What did you think Cox on the radio looked like? Not what he look like. OK, no, but what he looked like. You guys need to Google this as well, because what he looked like is roly poly sort of read The Bachelorette's comb over.

He had a mustache, a terrible mustache, not cool in any way, but sounded cool on the radio.

Well, there were a lot of legacy hosts that stayed with power in 96, even though it was going through this early 90s and mid 90s change. So there were a lot of DJs that hip hop music wasn't really their background. But, hey, there were there were sticking around. And Cox on the radio was one of those holdovers that was doing this like, hey, by the way, calling yourself Cox on the radio.

That was so edgy over that time. But now it seems as though but through the through the ears of a child, I didn't think anything of it. Now it's now it's obviously a penis name.

What do you think Neil Rogers look like?

Well, Neil Rogers, my actually my first my first exposure to Neil Rogers was on Wammy, so I never listen to his radio show because I want to listen to sports. I was always sort of confused as to why the non sports guy was on the sports station. I would always just tune out and listen to classical music with my grandfather as he drove me around town going to castings, but he would be on whammies original lineup. Tyrone Steel was another character on Power 96.

He was a part of Get Up and Go with Me and Bo. And he was he was very clearly doing a black voice. And I went to the Dade County Youth Fair to watch a live version of Family Double Dare. And this white Canadian looking guy came out and he just talking to his white guy voice. He's like, but some of you might know me is Tyrone Steel. And he started doing the tie, released you hitting me.

There was a dude doing doing radio as a black guy who wasn't black. Roy, do you remember Tyrone Steel?

No, but he was basically doing blackface on the radio. It was it was it was a it was a he was a hip hop character.

It was it was certainly not his real voice. It was a different time back then. Wow.

Guys, I have sad news. Don Cox passed away fifty five and twenty three. Oh, I know. I know. Yeah.

Well, was it what happened with him though. Because he seemed like a real partier. He seemed like he was red from party and whiskey nose and he was he.

He was like swollen. I mean, he obviously didn't look like the fittest guy. Well, but beyond I don't want to say he looked unhealthy. We're doing this for Cox on the radio, you know, because we're doing this because you just reference for the audience being shocked by the way someone looks and the audience doesn't know who we're talking about.

And so it's now I need to I mean, to help them understand the person that you're talking about.

I could tell you, like the the radio team that I thought just based on their voices that was the cool was like they were going to be super cool when I met them, was the first team with defo Jones.

So really, I thought it was Rick inside. I was young Ron Paul and young Ron for me. I had what I saw what what young Ron look like. And it turned out to be an ironic nickname. I was mildly disappointed about this.

I will tell you a story that's going to make you a little bit sad. Now, as we discussed for some reason, early 80s and 90s radio in South Florida, Paul and Ron work together.

You could say that in the history of South Florida radio, the big stars have been Neil Rodgers, Paul and Ron and Josh really like I would throw like in there, throw Hank Walker Glass, Jim and Bobby, and it's just English radio to Spanish radios.

Oh, no, it's a whole nother thing. You're absolutely right.

Jim Mandic probably as well. Spanish radio. We're throwing in of it as it is.

And so we are talking about this absurd, ridiculous time where Neil Rogers was running the airwaves down here.

Right. Don't forget Big Lip Bandit. Neil had the if you're wondering why a non sports show was on a sports station, it was because of one reason and one reason only massive ratings.

So but Cox on the radio, Mike, is somebody that you thought looked like what what were you getting from.

I wasn't getting fat guy with a mustache and a comb over. I just certainly wasn't getting that. I just thought normal white guy. I did this thing that after it was revealed to me what Tyrone Steele actually was, which seemed like just a white Canadian. So I can relate to racism.

I can't believe how racist that is.

I mean, it was pretty diverse show, but was on it. DeChambeau Kamper. And she did, didn't she do like this psychic reading commercial? So I think she had a national pedigree.

Roy, are you offended? Are you offended retroactively on the idea that you're just learning about a character that was a white guy who sounded like a black guy on the radio?

I mean, what the hell is that? That's offensive, really. But, Mike, I want to hear more about this young Mike Ryan and this pursuit of child stardom and being taken from casting the casting. Like, how long did you spend doing this?

We're right around Thanksgiving. Let's, like, cool off there. This is not exactly a great time in my life. It is not. No, no. Well, crack open a beer and we'll talk about it some other time, OK?

Because you just dropped on us that your mom passed away around Thanksgiving. You threw that out. Thanks for reminding me.

You brought it up the twenty. She died on the twenty third.

I want to talk about child star Mike being dragged from place to place, don't you think? Are you guys do you guys have any information on this? This is not a part of my life that I know or remember.

No, I mean, you're talking about it. Yeah, there was some fun stuff there, some fun parts. I mean, there was a lot of failure. There was a lot of money being stolen, a lot of drugs. I just made that last part of my Mike Ryan doing we're doing behind the music, remember, there was a rapper, Drew Barrymore, where we were just bumping rails.

Didn't you have a feud with Demi Moore daughter because she's still apart from you?

Yeah, striptease. That's when I discovered nepotism. And now it's an everyday part of my life.
