Hey Mark, listening to the podcast and you said that the Michael Jackson song was great. Are you still smoking dope?Because you have to be to listen that shit. Hottie who.
Just finished today’s show 6/27 and thank you again for a great show. I loved the Paul Harvey segment (even though it was the last few minutes) but I used to love listening to him on am radio in the afternoons where I worked in the Carmel Valley in Carmel, Ca. As you said he started something ahead of the times, and because of Paul’s stories. That’s what drew me to you and Brain, or anything that you do. I also to Mike Rowe’s podcast as it is also based off of his mentor Paul Harvey.
Keep doing what you do and keep talking by putting smiles and laughter on many people’s faces.
Hey Mark, just got done watching one of my favorite movies “That Thing You Do” parts of which were shot in my hometown of Orange, specifically The Circle. Realized I’ve never heard you mention this movie. Have you watched it? This movie takes place during your radio days right? Is it accurate in its portrayal of promoting of a song during that time? Thanks for the weekly entertainment.
Hi Mark – you’ve covered a bunch of songs I hate but this one is really OLD. Born Free by Matt Monro. Think it was done for the Movie of the same name. Had a family member that had music box that would play it over & over again. If I ever hear that song it brings me back to my childhood and It’s like nails on blackboard… Ugh.
Hello Mark – Love the Podcast. Just wanted to make you aware of something I’ve had problems with over the past few months. On Spotify if I start your most recent podcast but don’t finish it and return the next day it is gone! Example if you go on Spotify EP43 & EP44 are missing as well as EP39 & EP37. I was able to finish listening by going to M&L studios. Thought you should know.
Hey Mark, Vince here (number 1) that song by the kids was fun. I am not here for that. You missed my 63rd birthday on June 12th Beotch. I didn’t add it to the birthday section because I was positive you have it saved in your phone. To make it up to me Let’s get Rocket Bob to set up an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes, it’s a big ask but you’re the RG and your people know you can do this. Arnold is more than body builder, Actor, Politician. He seems that he is into giving back and spreading the word on motivation and success secrets at this stage in his life. Plus, I will add your Interview skills are awesome. I believe He would be fun, informative and More down to earth than people think. I will be waiting for my present (interview). You can keep the Styx tickets.
Hey there Mark,
You and Linda made the ultimate gesture of love to your children by updating your will and trust. Consider this your PSA of the week: my parents were 17 years difference in age. Because of this, assumptions were made that my mother would outlive my father, and plans were made accordingly. A very long story short, my mother developed leukemia in 2020, which resulted in eventual complications from her bone marrow transplant. As her health deteriorated, In early 2024 I advocated to be a coexecutor of my parents’ estate. With his age (84) and her declining health (67), I wanted to make sure that I had access to their finances in the case that my father outlive my mother, develop dementia and my mom wasn’t around to pay bills, and who knows what kind of care he would need. Or at that point in time, perhaps his age would lead to a loss of him before her. You just never know what can happen at any time. Someone had to be given legal access to funds to pay for eventual caregiving of one of them. As unromantic and scary as it all is to imagine life without our loved ones, as I’m sure you, Mark, have learned, there are so many things to go through in the passing of someone. It’s an industry. When as much planning as possible can be done ahead of time, it gives space for everyone else to grieve. My father did outlive my mother, as she passed away in April 2024 and my dad is now a widower at 86. Because of the arrangements made years ago and updated with me, the transactional logistics were less of a hassle, and we were more able to grieve the loss of her together.
I say all this not having made a trust for my own kids: well I better shut up and get to it, then!
Hey mark! Serious question about who you might consider interviewing: would you ever be open to interview Rick Deez (and if he would agree to it too)? It would be amazing to hear the radio war stories between you two and if you’re on good terms with each other. Love the show!
Mark, Hi man…Last week you said you were doing the unfathomable, which is preparing for your death by finalizing the Will…I thought maybe you could be inspired to compose a list of your personal favorite songs you want played at your funeral. God this is depressing…Luv ya as always…Van Pebble
Actually I included a QR code on my mom’s funeral card of a playlist of her favorite songs. Many attendants of the service have saved it and told me how much they love to listen to it and think of her. It’s a perfect way to connect with our loved ones!

Listener from day one at KLOS. The greatest story ever told…as told by Mark to Andy on the Sound…”The Thompson family RV vacation.”
