Hey, RG!
On EP 99, you commented that the intro to Gerry Rafferty’s Baker Street was the longest intro, but you know what the longest one really is. It’s John Mellencamp’s I Need A Lover. In fact, you had Andy ramp it as a challenge one morning on MITM, and it was hilarious. if you have that clip, would you please play it?
John Fitzpatrick says
Hearing Episode 99 talk about Jay Thomas reminded me of this story about the Lone Ranger.

That list of Cheese is perfect. You just read it backward. #8 American and ends with #1 Cheddar!! All the rest are exactly where they belong when you read it this way.

Hey Mark! Yesterday, KCAL 96.7 in the Inland Empire fired their entire air staff and went to automated music. I don’t understand why a station owner would deal with the headaches of having an FCC call sign and the regulation that surrounds that to provide nothing more than what someone can get from Spotify. AM and FM have always been personality driven. Any idea what these owners are thinking?

Mark&Lynda, As always great podcast. Thank you for the happy birthday. Tell your Grandson HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me. I’ll listen to you next Friday. Give your family my love and you of course. Hear you later.

All hail RG! Achieving 100 episodes of What You Do must be celebrated. Throughout history, many cultures have revered the number 100 as a sign of wholeness. While it would be challenging to cram a Top 100 list into a single podcast, you could take a “Base 10” approach and provide 10 favorite memories/guests/lessons/stories from your What You Do adventure. The 100th episode would also seem extra special if you invited Brian to join you for a conversation. I’d love to hear you two talk about shenanigans that generated belly laughs and big ratings during your golden era that might not be as warmly received today. It will be interesting to see what you come up with. I love the podcast and hope you do another 100 episodes.

Talking about the history of the barber pole…you should look up the origins of the oldest bar in Long Beach, Joe Jost’s. In 1924 it began as a barber shop and a saloon during prohibition serving near beer, and later when prohibition was repealed, regular beer, but the city decided that selling alcohol and cutting hair was not a good combination so the owner decided to stick with just alcohol and has been in business ever since. It’s ice cold beer, polish sandwiches, pretzels and pickled eggs are an institution here in Long Beach and the barber pole is still on display inside.
John Corsaut says
One of my favorite places to go. I’ve been going there since the late 90’s. I used to bring my sons their when they were little and now we occasionally go and enjoy the cold beer, pickled eggs, and specials. Wish they still served PBR.

That guy at Sticks who said it’s VAklempt is incorrect. Here, this will take you to Google where it defines it, spells it, and you can listen to the pronouncement:

Hi Mark! Wondering if you have any stories to share about Jay Thomas. Love listening each Friday. I look forward to it all week! Thankful for you.

Hi Mark! It was such a thrill to finally meet you in person last weekend in Thousand Oaks. What a great evening! It was also so much fun to see the kids, Laura, and Mikey! I’m the one who gave you the DVD, “Cashback” which I am positive you will absolutely love, and Lynda will too. Extremely entertaining and funny, plus the main character is an artist who does life drawing, and they show a lot of beautiful young women with no tops on, right up your alley, my friend! Thank you again for all the great shows over the years, keep it coming! Loving you!💕💕🤗💕💕

As others have said it was great to see you and the family on Saturday. I talked to you for a bit in the parking lot and mentioned that I was the one who got an unexpected photo with president Bush at the 9/11 museum in NYC while wearing my M&L hoodie. I could tell that you probably didn’t remember my story, but that’s Ok. Later I bought a button from the fundraising table that said “I don’t remember it. And I threw it away!” which I thought was funny and appropriate! The auction was fun and raised a good amount of cash too. After the event we spoke again and I got a couple of your note cards and a photo. It was a great evening. Thanks again Mark for all you do.

WHAT THE FUCK, RG!!! How am I just finding out you started a new podcast? AND had a live show? God DAMNIT! Better late than never, I guess. So happy to have you back in my ears and I’m excited to go back and catch up on all that I’ve missed with this new show. Hope all is well and sending lots of love to that hot with of yours.

Hi Mark,
In last week’s episode, you left out an important This Day In History. July 17, 2026 was the 71st year of Disneyland opening. Cheers to another magical year!
