Hey, RG!
I have an explanation why laundry detergent is locked up. It is one of the most common things shoplifted at grocery and variety stores. The reason sounds wacky, but it’s true. (I work for a decent sized grocery store chain in the upper Midwest.)
Laundry detergent, especially big name brands like Tide, can be used as a form of currency to buy drugs on the street.
Growing up in The Valley in Southern California, back when it was a cool place to live….I lived with a coke dealer. He told me that the little colored pellets in some detergents are an ingredient in the production of crystal meth. So there is someone out there that, that’s all they do it pick colored pellets out of laundry detergents for a living.
Hey, RG. Catching up on podcasts, and got to EP 17. On This Week, you mentioned Harry Nilsson. I know you hate corrections, but I think it’s important to pronounce people’s names right. You always say it as “neel-son”, but there’s no “e” in his name. It’s pronounced phonetically, just as written. Nil-sson.
M&B, M&L, MITM, D vs D…it’s all good.
Oh, and my daughter recently turned 20. She goes back as a listener to MITM. Would that be your youngest listener?
Good morning Bro, Your Podcast was great to hear, as always. I may not be able to listen on Friday, but I will always listen. You and your family have been in my life since 1987 and will be forever. I love you all. ♥️
I hate to say it, but your last 5-6 shows have become almost unlistenable to me because your volumes are varying so much! If your talking then go to an audio clip or when you’re speaking with a guest, I’ll hear you but not your guest, or I’ll hear you but then you go to an audio clip and it comes out blarring about 3 times louder than your talking. Today I was listening to EP 24 and I was starting to think you were doing that trick you and Brian did back in the 90’s when you kept making the program quieter so stupid replacable listeners would crank up their car radios, then you’d blast them! You seemed to keep getting quieter and quieter.
I have a feeling this might have to do with your CA studio. Cause I don’t remember your Lake Norman studio doing this. And I remember you getting a “Lemontater” when you first set it up.
Anyway, just had to let you know, cause I enjoy the show too much to have to stop listening.
Hi brother Mark! My husband’s birthday is today! Trombone and Mr. Rogers singing would be great. Brad is 62 today! Mine is 10/23. The Adam Nimoy interview was really good. Catching up slowly but surely.
Thanks for the laughs.

Mark, I think I know the origin of your obsession with “animals eating” noises. Look, being the comedy guy you are… did it begin with Buggs Bunny eating carrots? Could be.
Wondering how these new LA fires near Castaic Lake are affecting you and your family.
Seems to be very close to your old neighborhood from 15-30 yrs ago,
Hopefully not too close to your new abode.
Be safe
cheers Tom
Hi Mark, you didn’t give the criteria on why LA was considered the #1 sports town. The one criteria you said was that the word “sports” was plural. Yes, Green Bay fans are loyal, but does Green Bay have any other pro sports teams? No. Los Angeles not only has multiple sports teams in basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, and football, but most of these teams have won championships since the year 2000. The exceptions being the Clippers and Chargers. The only WNBA team that LA has also won multiple championships. No other city or town in the US can make that claim. That is why LA is the #1 Sports town.
The Lakers won in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010, and 2020.
The Dodgers won in 2020 and 2024
The Angels won in 2002
The Galaxy won in 2002, 2005, 2011, 2012, and 2014
The Kings won in 2012 and 2014
The Ducks won in 2007
The Rams won in 2021
and the Sparks won in 2001, 2002, and 2016
By contrast, the last championship the Packers won was in 2011.
Hi Mark. I have been listening to past Mark & Lynda podcasts from the archives. They no longer seem to be available. Can you check on this and explain. Thanks.
Hey Mark, want to say thank you for playing drunk Bob Jones. That was fucking hilarious !
Could you please post the recipe for your Sausage Balls ?
Thanks again Mark, loving the show !
Glad you are back with your own podcast. I loved the Danny Bonaduce episode. I am up to episode 6. Slow down so I can catch up. Any Cool Stories in Music episodes? Probably not. I think you said you can only do one podcast at a time.

Not sure if you knew it, but Cam Newton is on the reality show. Special Forces.

Enjoy the show.
Observation: volume of your 1/24 show seemed much lower than usual (or maybe I need to recharge my hearing aids).
That’s it. Thanks.

I agree. I mentioned the same issue with the varying sound levels in the survey.

RG: I remember your curiosity and love for hearing and watching animals eat. Here’s Rico, the porcupine, at the Cincinnati Zoo, eating an ear of corn.

Hope all is well with the Thompson clan in the midst of this new fire near Santa Clarita. 🤞
