Welcome to the party, pal.
All right, everybody.
Welcome to the rap party.
That's all new music from I Have No Idea Who Did That.
What an intro.
You like that?
Dude, it's welcoming us into a new era right there, people.
A little Bruce Willis diehard welcome to the party.
It was either that or Kevin Bacon from Let's Party from Footloose.
Tough choices.
Hey, everybody.
I'm John Donahue.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for listening to the rap party.
Hey, that was your cue.
Sorry, it was one of your guys.
There was no applause.
No applause on it.
The number to call, 1-800-893-9562.
I'm just fixing my mic here.
We got.
We got prizes.
If you have a legitimate question or something related to the topics at hand, you might win something tonight.
We got some great stuff, including a signed Holes movie poster.
That's right.
Signed by Robert Armour, the star who was cut out of the film, Robert Armour.
You played Derek Dunn.
Robert.
Yes.
That's exciting.
It is.
It was fun to just see the poster again.
I relived every moment of it.
You did.
You're not even on the poster.
Yeah.
I'm crying.
That's what I was saying.
I didn't really sign it.
I just put my tears on it.
So, yeah.
Well, I'm sure everybody will want to frame your tears.
Who doesn't?
Also, joining us tonight in the studio, as usual, is Peter Miller.
Hey.
Good to be here, John.
Good to be here.
Also with us is Alison Diamond.
Hello.
Yeah.
All right.
You can keep clapping for Alison, everybody.
It's fine.
We're not off to a good start.
And Dave Casella is back.
The king of cartoons.
Thanks.
All right.
Hey, today, I don't know if you guys know, it's International Tom Hanks Day.
What?
It's true.
April 13th is International Tom Hanks Day.
And we have a phone call from Chicago.
Kevin Turk, who's the co-founder of International Tom Hanks Day, is on the phone.
Wow.
What a way to bring it in.
Yeah, man.
Great timing, Kevin.
How you doing, man?
Yeah, I'm good.
How are you guys?
Good.
What does it mean that you're partying?
Are you guys partying?
What happens on Tom Hanks Day?
International Tom Hanks Day.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's definitely a good time.
There's what you would call a lot of partying that happens.
Yeah.
Bosom buddies marathon.
Yeah.
And results.
We're trying to raise some money for a good cause and just have a good time all at the same time.
Now, do you watch, what, Turner and Hooch?
Dropping?
Yeah.
I mean, we had everything going.
So we usually watch, like, the event lasts four to six hours.
So we watch Turner and Hooch, big.
Tom Hanks, or Forrest Gump, whatever we can.
And what are you raising money for?
What is this cause?
I was getting to that.
Yeah, yeah.
Yep.
So we raise money for Tom.
He's a brand ambassador.
I think you're going to be raising money for Tom.
He's really, really in a ditch.
I didn't hear that.
That's kind of you.
That's very good.
Not Jim Hicks.
No, Lifeline Energy is one of Tom's.
He's an ambassador for the nonprofit.
So we raise money for Lifeline Energy.
They're based in London.
Great cause.
Great organization.
Treat us super well.
So we raise money all for them.
That's great, man.
And where do you hold this big party in Chicago?
Yeah.
So in Chicago, we've had it at Headquarters Beercade.
So it's basically a bunch of arcade games.
Good beer.
Good food.
Are they Tom Hanks-themed arcade games?
Like the big game or the Joe vs. the Volcano ring toss?
Zoltar?
Drop?
Zoltar.
Well, we put Zoltar.
Why did I think of Zoltar?
Son of a bitch.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
That was awesome.
Oh, man.
No, I've actually been to that bar in Chicago.
It's a very cool place.
Now, what was it like today?
Now, how does it rate with the other?
Now, how long have you been doing this, and how does it rate with the other Tom Hanks days?
Yeah.
So this was our 10th year.
So obviously, we went as big as we could.
Big.
Yeah, right?
You should be on that dinger.
You should be on that dinger.
Oh, Peter.
There you go.
Shoot.
We had a great time.
It was just as great as every year.
Tons of people we've had.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We had at least 300 people show up to this thing.
I'm sure Jim Hanks probably could have gotten in there.
Well, yeah.
That's the thing.
We pushed.
We always say, Tom, come on out.
And he did actually send us a video this year.
He sent you a video?
Wow.
What did he say in the video?
So he put a video together in the dressing room in New York because he's doing this Broadway play.
And so he sent us this quick little video.
Nude.
And it says, you know, changing room.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He basically called out, you know, hey, hey, it's my day.
That's kind of weird.
But hey, have fun.
Enjoy it.
Like you're doing you're doing good stuff.
It's for a good cause.
Let's have a good time.
Wow.
That's great.
It was great.
I have to know my favorite Hanks movie is Joe versus the volcano.
It's no secret.
What is your what are your what's your review on that film?
Mine?
Well, I love love Joe versus the volcano.
I love any movie.
I mean, there's any movie.
What's your favorite?
Any senior man with one red shoe?
Larry Crown.
Larry Crown.
Larry Crown.
You're going to get inspired.
I had that same chance going on this afternoon.
No, I definitely am not.
I mean, we're not huge like Hanks enthusiasts in terms of his movies.
But you just started a day for him.
Yeah.
It's not like it's Meryl Streep Monday.
This is.
Well, he's a good guy.
He's genuine.
He's nice.
He's a great guy.
I know.
He's constantly doing amazing calls.
This isn't raising money for raising charities.
Wait.
So you like you like his movies, but you don't like him or you like him.
You don't like.
No, I like him.
Certain movies.
I'm not like a huge fan of.
Tell us what those movies are.
No, don't.
Oh, no, no.
We don't need to.
That's not good, isn't it?
My favorite movie, right?
All right.
I certainly love Forrest Gump.
That's a movie.
Yeah.
In the money pit, they do reference the Care Bears in the money pit.
Oh, my God.
Dave.
Yeah.
Dave.
We are barely taking this.
Tom did not do anything with the Care Bears.
Oh, no, he did.
Remember, he's trapped in the hole in the rug.
And he says, I'm glad you came by.
The Care Bears stopped by.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
I watched the money pit the other night.
It was on HBO.
Kevin, sorry about Dave and his Care Bears.
No, it was just.
He wears footie pajamas.
I understand.
Everybody's got their little thing, right?
Yeah.
So how much did you raise this year, then?
Do we have a total?
I haven't even had a chance.
So, I mean, the rap part.
Your time hasn't come in yet.
A good explanation of this.
It's 10 p.m.
here.
We've been partying since noon.
Oh, wow.
So I haven't had a chance to count up the dollars.
But, I mean, I'm sure we raised a good $10,000, maybe $20,000.
Wow.
That's amazing.
That is amazing.
Well done.
Yeah.
Can we start the dirt, then?
We definitely do a lot.
Kevin, do you play Tom Hanks drinking games, like, every time he says, I don't know.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
You have to take a shot.
We did, yeah.
Really?
Wow.
So we didn't do it this year.
Yep.
We didn't do it this year.
But we.
So the year before, we had five drinking rules.
And I wish I could remember that for you.
Yeah.
What were the rules?
But I know one of them.
I know one of them was, like, if he does something.
So we were watching, like, Forrest Gump or one of those things.
If he does this, you have to drink the whole beer.
So there was definitely rules up there where it's like, hey, here it comes.
Flam that beer.
So we definitely did that.
Oh.
You're making him proud.
Yeah.
This year we did, like, an online trivia game so people could play along.
And if you had to score 100 points or 100% to win the opportunity to get, like, one of our five DVDs that he signed.
Oh, that's great.
Did he make any T-shirts this year?
Yeah.
This year's theme was Castaway.
So we had these really cool shirts designed that look kind of like a volleyball.
And then there's a handprint on them.
Is it real blood?
Yeah.
Not quite.
It's Tom's blood.
He sent it to me.
It's just red ink.
But we will have them on sale online.
Okay.
Okay.
Everybody, anybody goes to the Facebook page or the website, we'll have those up probably Monday where you can actually purchase them and we'll ship them out to you and do all that good stuff.
And where can people find you, speaking of webpages and all that hoo-ha?
Yeah.
So the webpage is thetomhanksday.com.
Mm-hmm.
And then the Facebook page is facebook.com.
So you'll just Google us.
We're usually one of the few things that pops up if you Google Tom Hanks Day.
Yeah.
So we're right at the top there and easy to find.
Kevin, awesome.
Thank you for calling in tonight.
And congratulations on such a great cause and it sounds like a lot of fun.
And we're going to start the Robert Armour, Derek Dunn from Holes Day.
And we'll raise about $88.
Benefiting actors that got cut out of film.
Yeah.
We should be raising a lot more.
Hey, dude, thanks again for calling.
Yeah.
You guys, are you still partying?
Yeah.
Sounds like it.
We're up for a while now.
So we'll be going out.
Nice.
All right, dude.
Close the show.
We'll go out with Every Time We Say Goodbye.
That's a good one.
Yeah, that's a great one.
Yeah, I'll run that.
Well, I really had to think.
That's really hard for John to figure out.
What's the most obscure Tom Hanks movie?
And there it is.
And I can't believe I pulled that out.
He knows you're alone.
He knows you're alone.
There you go.
That's great.
Kevin, thanks again, man.
It was a pleasure talking to you.
You sound like a great guy.
Have a great night, man.
Take care, guys.
You too.
Take a nap.
All right.
Hey, that was cool.
That actually worked out perfectly.
I wasn't sure when he was going to call.
Speaking of.
As celebrities, we lost a couple this past week.
Yes.
Not to bring the show down, but we lost.
First of all, we lost Annette Funicello.
Does anybody remember Annette Funicello?
Yeah.
Mickey Mouse Club.
Mickey Mouse Club, of course.
But if you grew up in the 1980s, you probably remember her commercials for this brand of peanut butter.
That hiking makes you hungry, Alex.
I'll say.
Looks like you're really enjoying that skippy peanut butter sandwich.
Tastes great.
Yes, Mom.
Compacted because skippy's nutritious.
Nutritious?
Your mom knows, ounce for ounce, skippy has more protein than a hot dog, chicken salad, even liverwurst.
And skippy has no cholesterol.
Liverwurst?
You know, skippy peanut butter, it's good to know that it's healthier than liverwurst.
I love it.
You always bring liverwurst up in a peanut butter commercial.
I find that's very popular.
I do all the time in all my cut scenes of peanut butter commercials that I've done.
They had a lot of peanut butter in the Back to the Beach movie.
That was the joke.
Talk into the mic a little closer, Dave.
You sound like you're in another studio.
I was in the other studio.
Yes.
No, they made a little reference to her peanut butter in Back to the Beach, which was kind of the reunion movie of all her beach movies.
Back to the Beach.
That's right.
I tried to find a clip because there's a clip in Back to the Future where her son's kind of this rebel.
He's a punk.
And his mom and dad are, she's so perfect.
And she's playing Annette Funicello in the movie.
Like a big fictionalized version of herself.
And she's like, honey, I got lunch for you.
And he says, mom, not peanut butter again.
And she opens up the cabinet.
It's all full of Skippy peanut butter.
By the way, you said Back to the Beach.
Yeah, I was like, I'm like trying to remember what it was.
I've been celebrating Tom Hanks Day, too.
And so there's rum in my Coke, okay?
I was going to say, I'm like, where was this in the scene?
I'm like trying to reel back.
I'm like, is this part two?
I'm not a big fan.
Give me a break, everybody.
He needed a change, so they gave him chocolate.
It's like the Kunky instead of the creamy pound peanut butter.
You should go back to the future and watch that again.
Go back and start the show over.
We also lost another great actor.
This is the one that really hurts.
Yeah, it sucks.
Oh, my gosh, did I lose it?
Who?
I don't even know.
I'm so upset.
Oh, shit.
I had a great clip.
I had a great clip.
Oh, shitskies.
We need to start the show over.
Well, we actually, we lost Jonathan Winters.
We lost Jonathan Winters.
And he was fantastic.
One of my absolute favorites.
Yeah.
Peter, what are your memories of Jonathan Winters?
Now, he was on Mork & Mindy.
I mean, I think one of my first memories was Mork & Mindy.
But I remember as a kid also on Showtime, the show On the Ledge.
If you remember a special that had a great Robin Williams that had been on there.
Michael Richards.
Milton Berle also was on there.
Love Milton.
And it was just absolutely hilarious.
I mean, especially seeing like Robin Williams.
I think it was like, I want to say 1987, 86, something like that.
And if you could check it out.
And look that online.
I remember seeing that and just thinking it was hilarious.
And then getting older, getting into film and seeing Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Mad World, yeah.
And him in that.
And then even going back and seeing stuff, you know, from, you know.
Jonathan says that was his favorite thing.
He was so proud to be a part of that.
Oh, no.
I mean, the names of that.
You want to talk about, you know, we were talking about Back to the Beach.
I mean, that movie for when that came out.
I mean, it had absolutely every living legend in comedy.
And they were all playing, like, they weren't being funny.
They were playing regular people stuck in this world.
Right.
Exactly.
It was perfect.
It was absolutely priceless.
You know what else is priceless?
That I found the clip.
Let's see if I cued it up right.
Here's Robin Williams presenting Jonathan Williams with Jonathan Winters.
Jonathan Winters.
What was this?
What was this?
The TV Land Awards.
Yeah, yes.
And let's see if I have it.
And here we go.
TV Land, they let in here tonight.
Jonathan Winters is the reason I became a comedian.
I remember watching him with my father.
And when he was on the Jack Parr show, Jonathan was the one who was the most famous comedian.
And he was playing a great white hunter.
And Jack asked him, he said, what do you hunt?
And Jonathan said, I hunt squirrels.
And Jack said, how do you do that?
He said, I aim for the little nuts.
Once upon a time, I called Jonathan my mentor.
And he immediately corrected me.
He said, please.
He told me, I prefer idle.
Speaking of idle, my idol is on the phone right now.
Ladies and gentlemen, the great Keith Coogan.
He's calling into our very first show tonight.
Wow, here he is.
Keith Coogan.
Your idol, I thought that was Richard Grieco.
No, it's you, buddy.
You or Richard Grieco.
I can flip-flop.
It's a close first.
Thanks, man.
It's an A-B.
It's a Saturday.
How you doing, brother?
I'm good, man.
I'm sad for passing a good old Jonathan Winters.
You worked with him on the very last episode of Mork & Mindy.
You were, what, two?
Yes, I was two.
No, I was like 12 or some shit like that.
I don't even know.
Yeah, what was he like?
You know how they say no man is an island?
Yeah.
Well, they never met Jonathan Winters.
He doesn't like to play ball.
He doesn't like to share.
And he doesn't like to let people in on whatever improv or act he's doing.
Because he's on 100% of the time.
He's always creating and doing something and voices and making up things and people.
And he's doing this baseball bit where he's the pitcher.
And as soon as he throws it, it would come back to his gloves.
Like the pitch went out and then came back instantly.
And he's doing all these hits with an imaginary catcher.
I know this bit.
It's kind of between the set and craft service.
And my mom was like, go play with Jonathan.
Go play with him.
So I go down and I squat down to be the pitcher.
And he denies me the choice and does something else and turns his back and goes and does something else.
And I was like, wow.
And my scene was with him.
I watched it.
It baffled me.
And I felt hurt as a child.
But then I went, you know what?
If someone's really into model railroad trains and they're focused on that, they're not going to see anybody else in the room.
And I don't know.
He's just definitely, I think to get there and to be that far out there, he had to be that far in there.
Yeah.
And that internal.
And just really didn't see it.
I mean, he's, you know, amazing.
He's obviously an inspiration and a hero to a show.
So many comedians.
And his comics, Robin Williams included.
Absolutely.
Oh, there's another great thing.
It's basically, it's just, I always say, Robin Williams is basically Jonathan Winters.
But just with the coke difference.
Yeah.
You know?
The coke.
With the cocaine difference.
Yeah.
You know, just a little bit more amped up.
It's so similar.
You can see so many similarities.
There's a great YouTube video as well.
I'm not going to pull it up.
Don't worry.
But those two improvising like during like a 2020 special or something.
It was pretty great.
Just watching those two titans of improv go at it.
That show is another great example.
You can check that out where they do some amazing improvs.
Yeah.
Keith, what have you been up to?
What are you attacking?
I have been working on a little documentary.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And it's not for money.
It's kind of educational thing.
It's for.
Students that are going to become teachers for special disabilities.
And I have a friend who is got arthrogryposis multiplex congenita.
So he doesn't have use of his feet.
One of his hands.
He's got a little bit use of one hand.
So he can use a joystick on his wheelchair.
What we did is we took him to a school out to UC Channel Island in Camarillo.
And had students that were going to be teachers of special education.
And of students with disabilities.
Because there's two different things.
He's a genius.
He's smart.
He needs no special education.
He just needs a ramp and an elevator.
And someone to take notes for him.
But so it was like kind of understanding how not special.
But how special physical handicapped people might be in the education system.
And he's a great friend of mine.
I've known him for 15, 16 years.
And I interviewed him, his caregiver, his driver.
And the teacher.
And I'm editing that right now.
So.
Very cool.
That's great, man.
But John said you were swimming in the Atlantic.
Were you swimming in the Atlantic in your toy soldiers, tighty whities, to break some kind of a record?
That was last week.
That's where you were.
No, I've actually been running up and down South Korea trying to help them shore up.
And China called me.
They want help because they don't know what to do with this whole North Korea thing either.
You're going to be at the Hollywood show next week, yeah?
Yeah.
The Hollywood show.
I saw that.
Near LAX.
It's a hotel.
It's a hotel.
And they have so many cast reunions from like WKRP and Cincinnati.
Yeah.
And all these great shows.
There's going to be a mini Rock River Picture Show reunion.
Barry Bostock will be there.
Yeah, I know.
Little Nell in Columbia.
It is, I'm looking forward to meeting Little D, Raj's sarcastic sister.
Yes, that's awesome.
What's happening, cast members?
We'll be there.
That's great.
How are you celebrating International Tom Hanks Day, Keith?
Yeah.
I'm going to be there.
I'm going to be there.
Where are you from?
Where are you from?
Yes, that's today, April 13th, man.
I am buying 10 copies of Cloud Atlas.
Yeah.
Yes.
Pre-order them is what you mean.
Right, pre-order.
Next month.
Thank you, buddy.
All right.
Well, we'll see you then at the Hollywood show next weekend, right?
Yeah, man.
Congratulations on the wrap party.
Keith, thanks, brother.
We couldn't tell him about you.
And the Marquee.
Love the site.
Oh, thanks, dude.
I always sign up for all of the competitions because hopefully I'll just win one of those posters or DVD sets.
Great stuff at the Marquee.
You can sign up for all of the shows.
You can have one.
And I love the Drew Stusen interview.
Great job, John.
And I had someone who's a really big Drew Stusen fan.
Yeah.
I was trying to tell one of his friends, oh, he did the poster for Venture of the Babysitter.
I said, hey, watch this interview John did.
And the guy who watched it said, oh, my God, that was the best interview I'd ever seen of Drew.
Thanks, dude.
I appreciate that.
Beyond the Marquee, yeah, they put this show on and they kept this going, dude.
And we wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for you, A.
Keith, and for obviously Beyond the Marquee.
So if you go to www.beyondthemarquee.com, there you go.
You'll be able to see some great stuff.
And Keith, thanks for calling, dude.
Thank you.
It's awesome that you called on our opening night.
Thank you, Keith.
We'll see you at the Hollywood show.
All right.
Have a great weekend.
Have a great week.
And I'll see you guys next week.
I can't wait to see you, man.
Take care.
Save the world, Keith.
Save the world.
Keep doing it.
That was cool.
Keith Coogan.
Always nice to hear from Keith.
Love that guy.
Now, the phone number to call in, 1-800-893-9562 is the phone number.
Call in, say hello.
And do you guys know- He always loves calls.
Yeah.
He's always in the phone.
Aside from celebrities passing away, heroes, legends, icons, another icon of Hollywood is going to be forever changed on May 1st.
What?
Uh-oh.
Yeah, I don't know if you guys know.
No.
Yes.
Please, do tell.
Yeah, indulge us.
Historic Chinese theater is going to now be in IMAX.
Yes.
I didn't hear about this.
Yeah, I'm going to read the press release.
This will be IMAX's largest auditorium- I know, it sucks- in the world in terms of seating capacity, blah, blah, blah.
And it also says, blah, blah, blah, blah, will undergo its first major makeover in 85 years.
The theater will close for principal construction May 1st, and it's expected to open in the summer.
So if you want to get to see the Chinese theater the way it pretty much has been since Marilyn Monroe used to sit in there and watch movies, you should go before May 1st.
Is this real IMAX or just a big screen again?
It's going to be the biggest one in North America, Dave.
No, no, no.
I'm going to hand you the press release.
Gotcha.
And they're saying they say it's IMAX and then it's not really IMAX, it's just a big screen.
But the big thing, so that was one thing that I know when I heard that there was possible renovation, some of the things that I worried about, I even said, I said, I don't care if they changed the seats.
You know, it's all right to get some nice seats, but don't touch the screen.
You know, that one really- Is it bad that I care about the seats?
You're not supposed to touch the screen.
The seats are new.
I was thinking the opposite.
That's why I was like, if you would do it like levels.
But no, the screen is the screen.
Yeah, it's- That's the screen.
It's like, it's the essence.
But how does it- I don't know.
How long has that screen been there?
Seriously.
What?
I mean, has it?
I don't know.
60 years?
It hasn't undergone a change in 85 years.
85 years.
Wow.
Now, I remember they put a coat of paint on the outside and changed the seats because I used to be the projectionist there about 10 years ago.
And they were painting it all up and changing the seats and everything, but they pretty much kept it intact.
And I'm really surprised that it's not like, it is like a architectural, it has to stay the way it is.
Right.
The facade.
The facade.
Yeah.
I'm not sure.
I know that on the inside, I don't know if that's true because THX, this is the inside back in the day, wasn't going to put THX because of stringent requirements for that.
And the theater is just so big and open that it's very echoey.
So they couldn't change the interior of the theater.
So what they did is they put big giant baffling walls behind the screen.
So the sound isn't going to at least bounce as much.
But here's the deal, not to bore everybody to death.
Here's the deal.
How did they get around this?
Obviously somebody had a lot of money that could pay these people off or pay somebody off to where they could put a fucking IMAX in.
Isn't that changing it just a little bit more than just, you know.
Not at all.
Their first movie is going to be Holes.
I don't know if you knew that.
They're going to remaster and re-release Holes.
And they're going to cut even more of Robert out if that's possible.
He's not even going to be allowed to go to the screen.
He's going to be in the movie.
He's going to be in the movie.
He's going to be in the movie.
That's how much he's going to be cut out of the movie.
They're going to censor me saying Holes.
They'll show the scene and then show a scissor coming out.
Oh, that's even worse.
Scissors.
They're going to digitally kill Robert in the movie.
Just going to digitalize my head and put Justin Bieber's head on it.
Stanley Yelnuts is going to bury you in the film digitally.
Lucas is going to bring his- Did you say Stanley Yelnuts?
Whatever the fuck his name is.
He did.
Stanley Yelnuts is going to get in there and murder you.
What makes me excited that you probably read the script and or watched the movie to know the Stanley Yelnuts.
You yelled it last week actually.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
Hey everybody, here's your chance to own a piece of Robert.
1-800-893-9562.
Call in with a question.
Say something to Robert.
He'll give you a- Oh, there it is.
What do we have?
We're at 29 minutes in.
He'll give you- There it is, the first gases explosion.
A signed Holes poster.
You can either choose that or a Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 signed poster.
Well, we all know what's two.
And we have CDs.
We've got DVDs.
And Dave will come to your house and sell it.
And we'll give you some clean albufo.
Wow.
What does that mean?
All I know is there is a cough button on this machine.
You don't have to burp.
No.
It's not a burp button, Dave.
I'd like to get back to that topic, Dave.
You know?
Yeah, I know exactly.
No, it never fails.
It never fails.
He did one in the car on the way over.
And I thought he was done, but- No, never.
Burping.
No.
Never.
I can't.
Well, I'm drinking a whole one liter Coke Zero.
Mm-hmm.
And I don't know why I talk like that.
But- To the Android in you.
Only when you're talking about Coke.
I'm halfway through.
I'm halfway through this bottle.
Hey, Robert, you have something important to talk about.
Uh-oh.
And I think it's wonderful.
You're not only just a big wig over at Universal Studios Hollywood, you are now an official.
Well- Yes?
Can I announce this?
I'm close.
I got one more interview.
You're gonna jinx it.
Okay.
I'm gonna jinx it.
No, there's no jinxing.
That's crap.
You are up for- You're up for- I'm close.
I'm close.
I'm close.
I'm close.
I'm close.
I'm close.
I'm close.
I'm close.
I'm close.
You're up for- You're up for a tram tour guide.
I am.
That's a world famous thing.
World famous studio tour.
Following in mine and Peter's footsteps.
Hopefully I don't get fired.
Yes.
Peter's got small feet to fill, man.
We are legends.
Yeah.
It's true, though.
Actually, since I've been working there as part of the management team, bringing your guys' names up, everybody's been like, yeah, I know who he is.
Yeah, don't ever bring his name up again.
Do not drop my name.
That is not good for you.
That is not a good idea.
What I realized, because I was talking to a colleague of mine and I said, hey, John Donahue, and they went, oh, I love John Donahue.
He's great.
He's funny.
Aw.
Does my mom work there?
I said, and Peter Miller's on the show, too, and they went, oh, he had a deep voice.
Yeah.
That was the extent of our- He has a deep voice.
They don't know what he looks like, but they hear him voice.
Anyway, John does a radio show.
He is here.
That was great, but thank you.
Yes.
You're welcome.
I'm excited.
Good luck.
If you need any tips or something, go find somebody else.
Will do.
All right.
Speaking of moms, here's what's funny.
I'm going to segue freaking King tonight.
Did you say, speaking of moms?
Yeah, because I said my mom must work there because she was giving me compliments.
Here's the deal.
I didn't hear that.
I didn't hear that at all.
You should listen to the show back.
That is a terrible segue.
All right.
Well, thank you.
All right.
Do it anyways.
My mother was trying to social media today, and she posted on her Facebook, and I'm going to read it verbatim.
Oh, bless her.
Okay.
Here it is.
Please tune into John Donahue Radio Station tonight.
Yes.
Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google Google our very great stop.
100,000 pesos stop.
That's what it sounded like.
Mom, who wrote this for you?
I mean, what is happening?
She's just trying to help.
She tried to help, but it was really funny.
It was sweet.
Apparently, I was kind of rude.
It's my mom.
She'll forgive me, no matter what I do, pretty much.
Except for that fire.
She, I said, well, I have my own radio station.
Where is this station?
I mean, parentheses, son.
I saw that, and I was like, I don't even know.
It's my daughter.
Did she write that?
I was just figuring she put it on a typewriter and typed it first, then put it on the Facebook.
It was a telegram.
She sent herself a telegram.
10 pesos.
Well, can I say he's infamous?
She didn't even say my son.
Yeah, my son.
Parentheses, son.
Anyone's son.
Maybe she meant the sun.
She spelled it S-C-Y.
S-O-N.
She spelled it S-O-N, but I love it with some parentheses, just so people know.
John Donahue, son.
Not John Donahue, the actor.
John Donahue, the son.
Please tune into John Donahue radio station tonight.
That's great.
Welcome to the John Donahue radio station.
I opened a car, and I thought it was you.
Okay, today, Dave and I were on our way to Monster Blues, and what that is, it's a big convention in Burbank for people who love horror movies, and sci-fi gore, and all that wonderful stuff, and makeup, and Dave, I was gonna pick him up, and Dave's been in my car.
I've had my car for six years.
He knows what it looks like.
And Dave, tell everybody what happened today when I pulled up.
Well, when you pulled up, you were sitting in front of the car, or in front of the apartment, and I walked over, saw you talking on your phone with the cables, and sure enough, I started to open the door.
Yeah, cables for the...
You slipped in like the lawnmower man.
So, I started to open the door, and of course, immediately, he reaches over to lock it, and I'm like, what are you doing?
And then I realized it wasn't him.
But it looked like him.
It looked like his car.
So, this guy abducted Dave, held him ransom for a couple of hours, and then realized, I can't deal with this guy.
He literally dropped him off at my front door with a hundred bucks.
So, take this guy.
He keeps talking about Papa Care Bear, and Purple Head, and White Head Bear, and Smokey the Bear, and Purple Heart.
That's fine.
There were no mentions of Care Bears in this situation, but I literally thought it was you.
So, he called me up.
He goes, John, where are you?
I just got in somebody's car.
I don't know what's happening.
He's driving into a strange neighborhood.
That's right.
What did I ask you to remind me today?
What else happened today?
Something about a tweet.
Oh, what?
No, no, no.
It was something else.
Not my mom's tweet.
It was something in the car.
So, Dave, remind me.
You know what it was?
We were at the Monster Palooza, and they put this announcement over the speakers.
For Danny Glover, they have celebrities come in from the horror world.
Excuse me.
There we go.
And they announced, you know, in the main lobby, fine, you know, Cujo is back.
We got him stuffed.
Come and get his paw print.
But what...
It was horrible.
I don't know who was making the announcement, but they're like, Danny Glover's here.
Star of movies like...
And there was a pause, and you hear him say, Lethal Weapon?
Lethal Weapon?
And?
Lethal Weapon.
The color purple.
That's awkward.
There was another gap, and then finally, and some other movies.
Could you imagine?
It's like they were Googling it at the time.
Like, and...
Roll, scroll, scroll, scroll.
It's freezing.
It's freezing.
I felt bad.
I felt bad for him.
Danny and Danny Glover's rolling his eyes.
I'm too old for this shit.
I'm too old for this Monster Palooza.
At the same time, when I think about it, and I try to off the top of my head, I really kind of draw a blank as well.
There's saw.
There's...
Angels in the Outfield.
I mean, there's a hundred.
Oh, yeah.
But it's like you said, but at the time, when it's thrown in the spot.
He's in saw.
Which is a monster movie.
It's a Monster Palooza.
You think that.
For heaven's sake.
Know your movies.
Nope.
Color purple.
What is your...
Robert, what is your favorite Danny Glover movie?
Diehard.
Is it really?
Oh, yeah.
He's not in Diehard, fucker.
I like Diehard.
Really?
Because they...
I don't...
I think there's one African-American in that film.
Yeah.
Him and Darren Dunn are actually lovers.
He was on the fourth floor.
And...
He's got lethal weapons.
They bend John McClane over.
Right.
It was a whole different movie.
And the movie was called Diehard for a reason, but they kept it.
So, what's your favorite Danny Glover movie?
He was in movies like The Color Purple.
I like The Color Purple.
Lethal Weapon.
He's in some other movies.
I like The Color Purple.
Lethal Weapon would be mine.
Lethal Weapon.
That's what I meant.
Yeah.
He's a bad guy in Witness.
He is a bad guy in Witness, which is a wonderful film with Harrison Ford.
You've never seen Witness?
I've never seen it.
What?
What?
What is wrong with you?
You guys haven't seen Holes, have you?
So, there we go.
We haven't beat Holes into the ground tonight.
No.
No.
Let's turn to Witness, Lester.
Check this out.
Give it away.
I swear there was a trailer for Witness where you saw a gunshot, and it made, like, into the...
to the word Witness, and it made it look like wheat.
Because it's the...
Will Wheat.
Wait a minute.
Will Wheat?
Just the wheat.
And it was like, are those gunshots?
Dave, people are really going to have to Google this show later to find out what the F you are talking about.
That's just the way it's posted.
Wait, honey, this turns into wheat.
Harrison Ford turns into a corn stalk, I think he said.
I'm not sure.
People turn into vegetables and such.
No, that's lost its faith.
Oh, boy.
Peter, you like Danny Glover.
You gotta...
Gotta love him.
Yeah, what's your favorite Danny Glover?
Oh, did you like him in Die Hard 2?
Die Harder, where he plays the stewardess on the plane?
No, I would have to say, with David reminding me, it would hands down have to be Angels in the Outfield.
I mean, that was a beautiful...
Are you serious?
Oh, I forgot about that.
You just said that.
I didn't say that.
I take my vote back.
Is Danny Glover coming here?
Why do you say that?
Wait, wait, wait.
Did you just call him Danny Glover?
Like Blubber?
I hope so.
There's a V in his name.
V, V, whatever.
Wait, so Robert screws up his movies.
Dave screws up his name.
The guy at Monster Palooza screwed up everything.
Danny Glover cannot get a break.
Or a cab.
Poor guy.
Remember that?
Ever since his daughter...
A cab wouldn't pick him up?
Oh, man.
Was that the deal?
What?
He's never gonna come to the studio now.
Yeah, like he was gonna come down to Skid Row.
We have contacts.
We do.
Ever since the condom tree.
What's that?
Ever since the condom tree.
We have a weapon too.
Or three.
Oh, that was...
Is that two or three?
I was watching Die Hard.
Is that one?
Because he was retiring.
The condom tree was in one?
If Danny Glover, you're listening, please correct your IMDB with us tonight.
1-800-893-9562.
Was he in The Witches of Eastwood?
He was.
He played Jack Lickleson.
Lickleson?
Wow.
Jack Lickleson.
I feel bad because he has such a great accent.
He's wonderful.
It's one of those things that I'm like, what the hell?
He's great, man.
Remember him in Silverado?
No, I don't.
Well, he's in that.
It's a cowboy movie.
Yes, I know that.
Lawrence Kasdan.
It's really good.
Say that again.
Lawrence Kasdan, if you're listening, 1-800- Yeah, seriously.
Sorry, Cole.
Jesus, I ran out of topics 20 minutes ago.
893-9562.
So nice of Lawrence Kasdan to be involved.
Allison, was Danny Glover big?
We're still talking about Danny Glover.
No.
Yeah, golly.
No bigger than he was here.
Okay.
I'm not even going to ask Dave because he's going to turn Danny Glover into wheat or a pine cone.
No, it was just a very cool, it's a very cool trailer.
It's a very cool trailer, but I don't know.
Was he the cop in the picture in Witness where the kid points?
Yeah, that's how the kid finds it.
That's Danny Glover, right?
That's him, and he's trying to find out, like, look at these mug shots, look at these mug shots, and then the kid just wanders around.
He's a kid by the hair.
He says, look at these mug shots.
It's on Netflix streaming right now, by the way.
Yeah, he grabs his finger and puts it down.
Yeah, that's the kid Lucas Haas.
That's one of the very few scenes I remember in Witness.
Really?
Yeah.
I remember the sponge bath scene.
Yeah, okay.
I'm sure you do.
With Kelly McGillis, not Kelly McGillis now, because if I saw that, I'd rather see Harrison Ford in a sponge bath, or Danny Glover for that matter, but Kelly McGillis in the sponge bath, close-up side boob, sudsy side boob, yes, sudsy.
I'm talking bubbles off the nipples, everything, it was great.
I don't think they were bubbles, actually.
Okay, nipples is the word of the day every time we say nipples.
Hey.
Hi.
I'm real loud.
I don't think the Amish have bubbles.
They don't have nipples either.
No.
They have them removed at birth.
We took a tour when I was a kid, because we grew up in upstate New York.
Dave, not with Dave, but Dave was in the same town.
I tried not to call him.
But it was near, they shot that in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and I was such a big Harrison Ford fan, because of Star Wars and Indiana Jones and Blade Runner.
That's a movie, science fiction, there's robots in it.
Harrison Ford was there?
There's a couple of Care Bears in part two.
No, there's no Care Bears.
Harrison Ford plays Han Solo, but in Witness, he was there, and I remember, when we went to the Amish town, my mother and grandmother took me to the Amish, there's an Amish tour.
You're kidding me.
I was so bored.
All I cared about was, where was Harrison Ford?
Was he in this room?
And does he know these Amish people?
Isn't Hugo Morkinson?
Hugo Morkinson, whatever his name is.
Viggo.
Viggo Morkinson is in the movie.
Viggo, that's his name.
Dave, were you doing the announcements today at Monsterpalooza?
I was making fun of the guy, and then I can't say the same words.
At least know the movies.
I don't know the words.
But do you?
I threw Dave off with a hand signal to Peter.
You did.
And Dave sees something shiny, and maybe my fingernail reflected in one of the lights.
I don't know what's happening.
Hey, those are really, those shiny beads and strings.
Dave, can you please turn into wheat right now, Dave?
Wow.
Just turn into wheat in the wind.
It's really calm and cool.
Like in Lost in Space.
Wait, what?
I think Dave really wants to talk about Lost in Space.
No, they just, he just keeps, he just keeps talking about things like, the great vegetable rebellion that was the episode of.
There's a wonderful thing called Ritalin out there, Dave.
No.
No, I don't take anything.
Dave, Ritalin is a character of Batman.
Just find how focused you are.
Hey, the Ritalin's coming.
No, Dave, that's the Riddler.
Okay, never mind.
It's great.
Okay, Dave, take your Riddlers.
Is it the Riddler?
Yeah, eat him.
That's how we get Dave to take the Riddler.
And all of a sudden, he focuses a little bit better, and he gets into it.
Negative.
He's all happy.
Negative.
No, no.
It's scary stuff.
I had a friend who had to take a pill to calm down.
I hated that.
Why did you hate it?
Was it John?
Why did you hate it?
It was scary.
Peter, I will climb over this fucking table and lethal weapon die hard your ass.
Robert?
That's Robert.
Wow.
You know, they don't say it's a party until you break someone's name.
Yeah, that's called the rap party now, right?
It is.
Yes, Dave, you were on the rap party.
This was formerly the call sheet.
Peter, do not, or Robert, the fuck your name is, do not laugh at him.
What have I done?
Who put this in my soda?
Oh, man.
What's going on?
Robert just put a lampshade on his head and he's standing in the corner dancing like a robot.
And Dave is throwing coins at him.
It's getting really weird up in here, people.
I've been on this show with you.
I kind of like it.
I've been on this show with you for what, five, six years now?
I don't remember.
You can remember Dave's name for one show.
I've known him for 40, 50 years.
It doesn't matter.
Well, I'm not that old.
I've been in the same spot for four weeks.
I think Robert and I are on the way out.
If you move, here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
That's why on the Rap Party page it says John Donahue and friends.
Oh, yeah.
Interchangeable friends.
Interchangeable.
Interchangeable.
Interchangeable.
So it could be whoever's on top of the list of that week.
Whoever he wants to invite.
I knew there was some animosity, some built-up anger in there.
I still think that we should have been John Donahue and the Mirth Makers.
That would have been a wonderful day for a show.
What I want to know is why we are still on this side, but we have to upgrade it.
That was different.
This side isn't an upgrade, by the way.
For you, those out there, we sit at a big table and as of today we have Allison, we have David, and John on one side of the table and Robert and I seem to be over in purgatory on our own side of the table.
Behind a brick wall, by the way.
I still don't know what Peter looks like.
John just put that wall up recently.
He's like, I think it's for the best because we just keep ourselves on our own side of the table.
All I have is a bullseye for Robert on this brick wall.
I can hear you guys.
They say, hey, Peter and Robert are here.
And I was like, okay, tell them we're ready and that's the only way I communicate with them when the mics are turned.
No, but if these two move, they're seats.
They've been sitting in the same seats for five weeks and I still get them screwed up.
If you guys were to switch seats, I would get it right.
No, you'd still fuck it.
You're right.
You guys are here during the week?
Yeah.
This is where I live.
I'm homeless.
Just stay there.
He's my only friend.
This is Skid Row, everybody.
It's Skid Row.
Well, I moved from that chair to this chair because this headset works better.
I'm starting to think that it is Saturday night, eight o'clock and, you know, people have things to do.
1-800-893-9562.
Robert is holding up a big 15.
That means we got 15 minutes left.
Robert's looking at me like, don't, that's a secret.
That's a radio secret that's inside knowledge.
I'm just excited.
But here's the deal.
He held it up on a paper frickin' plate.
That's how sophisticated this show is.
Robert writes numbers on a paper plate.
Yeah, I couldn't afford to make real signs.
It wasn't gold pen.
It was.
Yeah, my gold pen.
It was kind of fancy.
Your gold pen, by the way.
I have no idea what's happening.
Hey, Jeremy.
What's up?
Yeah, by the way.
Mindy is out in East Jesus tonight playing the drums.
Jeremy, oh, he's got to put on, he's scrambling.
How you doing, man?
Jeremy's in the booth.
What's going on?
How we doing tonight?
Pretty good.
Mindy usually lets us know.
We had a little slow start, but it was, you know, we got going.
She lets you know if you're doing good or not?
Yeah, she smacks the glass and says, hey, amp it up or bring it down or something.
You guys are letting me down.
Sometimes she leaves early.
She goes, just turn off the lights and this is the button, this is the off button.
That's cool.
Yeah.
That's all you have to say, huh?
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
Here's the deal, Jeremy.
We love having him.
That's probably the first time you've heard from Keith in what, a month?
It's been a while.
It's been quite a while.
We didn't even know where he was.
I was so happy he called.
Yeah.
Has he talked to Keith?
Well, tonight on Facebook.
Don't you remember?
But I have to refer to him as Mr. X.
It literally just happened.
It literally just happened.
Wait, did Keith call?
Yeah.
That was him.
It was.
I thought it was Derek, Mike Dunn's ghost.
I don't know what that means.
I brought it up again.
He had a Jonathan Winters story.
This mic smells like spit.
What are they?
Robert's girlfriend, Jessie's in the other room.
She just laughed out loud.
I don't know if she, I don't know if there's a mouse out there entertaining her or, you know, or this really does smell like spit and that's funny.
But I'm kind of repulsed.
Jeremy took his head off.
He is done.
Jeremy's done.
You insult my microphone and my mouse.
I am not talking to you anymore.
He's not talking to you anymore.
There's no mouse in there.
There's no mouse.
That's clearly a rat.
The Skid Row rats.
Oh, man.
Good Lord.
Anyway, how's the rat party going, everybody?
Hey, call us.
Nobody's calling.
Let us know how it's going, Mom.
1-800-893-9562.
Put Grandma on the phone.
Put Grandma on the phone.
That's always for good radio, man.
I'm your S-O-N, close parenthesis.
Brackets, Mom.
Brackets, Mom.
M-U-M.
In England, it's M-U-M.
Sorry, brackets, Mom.
Mum.
Now, you also spell color, color.
C-O-L-O-U-R.
We spell it the proper way.
So the Americans took out the U because we like things short.
Short, easy, KFC.
Like Jewish people.
KFC.
Because you're, I don't know what that means.
Are you Jewish?
No, they took out, they changed it so that people didn't hear the word fried.
I like Jewish people.
Is that why they changed it?
No offense.
I mean, it's just the urban legend.
What's that?
They didn't want to say fried at all?
Fried is bad, so let's just change it to KFC.
I think that's the...
I worked at KFC when I was a kid.
I worked at KFC when I was 15.
The one across from the Crest?
I wanted to work at this movie theater called the Crest.
Did I work there?
I couldn't work there until I was 16 years old, so I got a job.
Because of the fire?
No, no, no.
No, at the theater.
I couldn't work at the theater until I was 16.
I thought you'd wait until you were 17.
I'm lost where we are.
16, so here's the deal.
I waited until I was 17 because it's a rated R film.
Dave thought he had to wait to work at a movie theater because you couldn't see an R-rated movie until you were 17, but that's not the case.
You're not supposed to be watching the movie, Dave.
You're supposed to be popping popcorn and wiping the counter.
Ew.
But I got a job at KFC across the street from the theater, and I was in charge of, I was the kid, 15, after high school.
I'd go in and I'd make the chicken and the secret recipes and stuff.
And look at how far you've come.
And here's the deal.
That is now my night job, so I'm gonna bring in, remember Chicken Littles?
And I did the marquee, the Kentucky Fried Chicken, and I put, Kentucky chicken tastes great.
And the boss came and he goes, it's Kentucky fried chicken.
And I was like, yeah, did you leave out?
Does this story go anywhere?
Nope.
I don't know.
It's your show, baby.
Do what you gotta do.
And by the way, that little Jewish short jug was supposed to be a hit against you, Peter, that turned out to alienate everybody.
If you're alienated, give us a call.
1-800-893-9562.
Why do I keep coming here, folks?
That's a damn good question.
Didn't you say you brought gifts?
Yeah, I have gifts here to give out.
We have legitimate gifts.
Last week, we had like four people call, could have given a lot of gifts away.
From Afghanistan.
Afghanistan.
Private, first class.
How is he?
Because he- I haven't talked to him since then.
He's fighting a war.
Wasn't he good?
Remember, he says, gotta go, we're being attacked.
Yeah, no, he was good.
Afterwards, he messaged me back, sent me pictures that you can see on beyondthemark.com.
Wasn't it right after we got off the phone, you were texting him?
Yeah, these people don't know that.
Yeah, you were texting him.
We ended our show.
Yeah, you were texting him, but he called, or he texted you and says, we're under fire right now, I'll have to text you later.
Yeah, he said, we're being- That's true.
Yeah, he said, we're, I'm trying to find it, but yeah, he said, we're under fire, I gotta go, I'll talk to you later, man.
And I was like- Good guy.
Yeah, like, he just got off of a phone, and- And then boom.
And then boom, and he was like, life of a military guy.
But they're fine.
They're fine.
They're okay.
He should borrow my mom's telegraph.
She'd probably get messages out, you know, faster.
Yeah, yeah, no, it was just really crazy.
You know, it was like, him, him, actually talking.
It was weird.
I don't know what I'm talking about anymore.
That was, that was crazy.
That was crazy, man.
Is your mom- Obviously, they're not listening tonight, but they would have called by now.
Are you gonna bring your mom on the show?
No, she's in New York, Dave.
She's working at KFC now.
She's trying to bring back Chicken Littles.
And Robert just helped with a new paper plate.
We got a 10.
But we actually have nine and a half because I was telling a story.
We do have nine and a half.
Oh, jeez.
Oh, I found you.
He said, okay, I'll send you pics later.
Gotta go.
We're getting hit.
That was the actual message.
How crazy is that?
And I was, in my mind, for him, he's a soldier, so he's probably like, whatever.
But for me, I'm like, holy shit.
Like, that's crazy.
That's so sweet of him.
Yeah, and then he was, I was like, okay, be safe, man.
And like, literally five minutes later, he's like, damn, life of an entry man.
Anyways, here's the pics.
I was like, what the fuck?
Crazy.
Here, hold those pictures up to the microphone, Robert, so the audience can hear that.
This is one with- Oh, that's a good one.
That's the one?
Wow, you should see that, folks.
You should have something.
That's mean.
That's mean.
I didn't think that was mean.
Sorry, I fell asleep for about eight seconds.
And then they can't.
Everybody, guess where Allison's gonna be next weekend.
Uh-oh.
She's gonna be dancing at Cheetah's in- Wow.
No, she's gonna, you're going to Coachella.
I am.
Thanks, Allison.
That was fun.
Good story.
You're going to Coachella.
We're gonna bring Stephanie back if she wants to come back.
She's actually, she's waiting for you outside, Allison.
Peter, you don't remember this when Bugs Bunny was trying to get to the Carrot Festival in the Coachella Valley?
Of course.
Of course I do.
And the bull, he's in the middle of a bull fighting ring.
That's like exactly my story next week.
Yeah, but what are you gonna do?
I'm going to the Carrot Festival in the Coachella Valley.
The music festival.
The music festival.
Who are you looking forward to seeing out there?
Blur.
Oh, you like, because you went, you actually went all, you flew to London to see Blur.
I did.
Last time I went to see Blur.
Wow.
They're my favorite band.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, I flew from LA to London to see my favorite band.
Really?
Yeah, and it was amazing.
And I'm super excited to see them next weekend.
Oh, man.
Wow.
And Stone Roses and a bunch of other bands, but mainly Blur.
I'm bummed I'm missing Hot Chip.
Oh, I fucking hate Hot Chip.
I don't know what Hot Chip is.
Is that like a breakfast cereal?
Yes.
I'm going to be watching, I think Yaysay are playing at the same time as you.
I'm actually not allowed anywhere near Vampire Weekend.
Why?
There was a terrible misunderstanding.
Are you serious?
Is this a true story?
Yeah, well, I just, I thought.
Wait.
Oh, we have a call.
Whoa.
Can I take it or should I finish your story?
Let's take a call, man.
Hi, everybody.
Who's calling?
This is Judy.
I just want to say John's mom didn't call, but Peter's mom did.
Oh.
Peter's mom.
Judy Miller, everybody.
She also actually tried to Facebook and promote us.
And I did a great job.
Yes.
You know, because there was, well, there was no link to it, but actually I responded to her post about listening to the show and I actually told everyone to please ignore this woman.
I have no idea who she is.
And I tried blocking her several times.
Your mom called in.
But she did call in.
Yeah.
And bless her heart because it is late there in Chicago.
This is our second Chicago caller tonight.
Oh, you're in Chicago.
That's right.
You know, they're up late partying.
Because you're, Judy, you are at the International Tom Hanks Day celebration, right?
Probably.
I actually read that in the Chicago Tribune this morning.
Wow.
Wow.
And I understand.
You made the press.
You were playing some Mahjong tonight, I understand, right?
Is that what's going on?
I don't play Mahjong.
What did you play?
What was that?
I don't know what you said.
It was Saturday night.
It's late.
Are you sure this is your mom?
I had one Bloody Mary and you know my liquor tolerance.
Yeah, she's a drunk fool, people.
I don't play Mahjong.
You do not.
Wow.
You do not want to give Judy Miller a cocktail, ladies and gentlemen.
She will tear you up.
It's Saturday night, Judy.
Have a Bloody Mary.
Have a Bloody Mary.
Yeah.
Yeah, we don't have to set the clocks ahead.
All right.
So anyway, I think you guys are great.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
That's great.
I think we got another call, John.
No, we don't.
Judy, Judy.
No.
Tell us something about Please, please, please.
Tell us something about Peter.
Because we want to know.
Tell us something that nobody else knows.
I've known Peter for years.
What's a good Peter skeleton in the dark story?
Skeleton in the closet.
What did I say?
Skeleton in the dark?
I'm trying to start something new.
Peter's mother has always been and continues to be an adventure.
You know he's crying.
He's crying.
But, all right, I'll tell you something about Peter that nobody else knows.
Yes.
Growing up, Peter absolutely loves his collections.
Never threw one thing out his whole life.
He's a hoarder.
Dead cheerleaders.
I'm at least glad you went there.
Because there are dozens more than you could be telling.
It was March.
And it was March Madness.
And Peter decided that he would run the pool for all of our high school kids.
Oh, this is a terrible story.
Let her finish, Peter.
It's a great story.
They were in the cafeteria.
Peter was friends with everybody in high school.
And the, um, security in high school.
All right, Judy.
We only got about four minutes left of the show.
So we gotta wrap this up.
You wanna be part of the pool?
And the next thing I got was a call from the dean's office because apparently gambling in high school is illegal.
in high school.
Basically in short, yeah, okay.
I was running an illegal gambling pool in high school.
And I got suspended in short.
That's the story.
That's how we got fired from Universal by the way.
Judy, I don't know if you told the truth.
I thought for sure you were gonna tell the story of you walking in and walking out.
I walked into my bedroom.
Whoa!
That's for next week.
Right.
That's for next week.
Mom, we gotta wrap it up here.
He said, I'm home, Mom.
He just never said he wasn't home alone.
Right.
Until the girl's mother called at three o'clock in the morning.
Right, wondering where her daughter was and you walked into our bedroom.
Yeah.
Okay.
And you didn't actually have a...
I said, you want the good news or the bad news?
The good news is your daughter's safe.
The bad news is she's naked.
Yeah, she is.
Yes!
Judy, please call in every week.
Yes.
And thank you for calling and enjoy the rest of International Tom Hanks Day.
All right, Mom.
I love you.
Thanks, Judy.
Thank you, Mom.
All right, we got some time for some quick plugs here.
Robert, let's do it.
I don't have much upinsmokeshow.com or upinsmokeshow on Facebook.
My friend's show about magicians.
Yeah, so you plug your friend's work, please.
Yeah, plug your friend's work.
Well, I don't got nothing.
Peter, what do you got, buddy?
I'm going to be juggling cats down in Santa Monica here all next week.
So come on down and check it out.
And then once again, out in our green room, our apologies to Margo Kidder.
Oh, no!
Sorry, Margo.
She does not look happy, folks.
Oh, God.
She does not look happy that we bumped her.
She's chewing on a pillow.
Ooh.
She just does in danger.
Alice and Dave, you guys got anything?
I'm combining you because usually we get some kooky from Dave.
Why are we combined?
Alice, what do you want to plug?
What do you want to plug here?
I'm going to be drunk at Coachella all next weekend.
That's not really a plug.
That's a fact.
Go look for Allison at Coachella.
She'll be the topless one on somebody's shoulders during the blur song.
During the blur.
During song two.
I'll be there.
Yes.
That's great.
And Dave...
That was magical.
I have nothing to plug.
Dave will be topless at the Care Bear Marathon at the New Beverly Cinema.
They just showed...
No, never mind.
Oh, you didn't talk about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
They showed...
They showed Chitty Bang Bang and Willy Wonka, the 1971.
The good one.
Dave loves Willy Wonka and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Which Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will be 45 years old this Christmas.
Wow.
Just like John.
They showed them both on the big screen.
Dave, that was your mute button.
That was my mute button.
Jeremy literally dozed off.
His head hit the soundboard and the music went off.
Jeremy, someone wake him up.
Literally, the music woke him up.
They woke him up.
They played music.
We got two more minutes and we got resets.
We got 50 seconds.
Hey, guys, real quick.
Dave, shut up.
Follow us on Twitter at TheRapParty, P-A-R-T-Y, TheRapParty, and me, if you want to follow me and all my bullshit, at John Donahue, J-O-N-D-O-N-A-H-U-E.
Thank you to BeyondTheMarquee.com for everything.
Next week, we do have a wonderful special guest.
You guys will want to tune in.
He's been in a lot of movies and television shows and he basically works every week and that's...
It's not Rocky.
And what else we got?
More prizes, more stuff, and Judy, please call again with some more Pete stories.
In fact, I think it's going to be a regular segment.
No, God, no, please.
We need to come up with something better.
Allison, have a great time in Coachella.
I will.
Dave, have a great time topless at the Willy Wonka Festival.
Thanks.
Hey, everybody, have a great night.
Thanks for listening to The Rap Party.
Woo!
