Love your show. The comment you made about who needs giant trucks? Well, apparently my granddaughter does. 17 year old Sadie just started her senior in high school and sports a giant chevy long bed with a lift kit, huge tires and the script “Moonshine Baby” across the back window. She bought the truck herself and she and her Dad customized it together.
We recently watched a documentary on Netflix called Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan. I think you’d really enjoy it. As a kid we watched Ed Sullivan every Sunday evening as did most Americans back in the 60s when he was averaging 50 to 75 million viewers every week. Most are familiar with the Ed Sullivan show and the appearances of Elvis and the Beatles, but I’d bet most are not aware of how influential he was in promoting Black entertainers at a time when segregation was very strong, especially in the South. He was very progressive in his support of Black artists. Also the initial TV performances of a 15 year old little Stevie Wonder, Harry Belafonte, Jackson Five, Nat King Cole, etc. are amazing. Definitely worth a watch. Am now very impressed with Ed Sullivan the man and all he did to promote civil rights for all Americans.
Mark was confused about the What You Do theme song, because he didn’t understand why the singer didn’t know what someone did to them and they wanna know…Mark’s question was, “Why don’t you know?”…Can we ask Mathew what he does? I assume he’s the one doing it…Okay, bye…
Mark, I have been listening since 1994. I had a long commute to work and you and Brian made it much more enjoyable. I always noticed that you laughed at Brian’s witty remarks, but he rarely laughed at yours. I always thought you were a funny guy and I laughed at your shenanigans while driving my car. I admit that I USED to think that Brian was more talented , but since I’ve been listening to your podcast for years I have come to the conclusion that YOU are the talented one. I listen to many podcasts, but yours is head and shoulders above them all. Your content is A-1
Just listened to your Woody show from 8/8. I have a few questions. Is Sammy still hot as she was on M and B? For some reason I though she got engaged when she worked on Mark and Brian. Did she ever marry? And are Gina’s boobs still as big as you remember from Mark in the Morning? Daddy wants to know
Soooooo. When you first said you were going to try and get Noah Wiley on your show I thought to myself “ good luck with that “. I had tried to find him on Instagram and give him a shout out for you but I swear I couldn’t find him and thought maybe your guy was just telling you he was going to come on. But Holy Buckets your guy came through and it was a fabulous interview. You asked all the right questions and he truly seemed sincere and happy to be talking to you. I listen to a few podcasts and yours is the one I look forward to the most (sorry Jason Bateman and crew). Keep on truckin RG!
Dear Radio deity, I know that you’ve mentioned that “Pop” is the mainstay of Pop culture but sometimes a song will come alongs that will make us wish for a quick death or have our heads explode like in Mars Attacks. The song is from Jessie “Murph” called “Blue Strips” WTF! I’m stunned it gets air time because dead-air sounds more interesting. But believe it or not, this “artist” is stunningly beautiful. Oh real quick, Onyx sounds just like Katie Thompson when she was singing to your son Mathew’s drum playing. FULL CIRCLE MOMENT!
I’m listening to the August 8 podcast and the “Songs I Hate” portion. Re: Billy Joel, if you’ve not seen the new documentary, “Billy Joel: And So It Goes,” I highly recommend it! I believe you’ll really enjoy it.
