Mark, Thank you for the memories and for your interviews. And for rocket Bob, please don’t give up on trying to get Noah for the show. Love to everyone
You talked about two things that generated immediate memories for me. One, the first steps on the moon. I was mesmerized by the whole thing! Two, color TV. I remember running home after school with a few of my friends to catch the first Lost in Space episode in Living Color. Turned on the TV and it was still black and white. I yelled at my mom that the TV was broken. She informed me that you need a color TV to get anything in color. We were all crestfallen…. It took years for my father to actually buy one. Thank you for bringing up that painful memory.
Thank you for what YOU Do! Fuckin’ Craig
First, thank you for taking the time to address the passing of Ozzy! I wasn’t a huge fan but growing up there were 2 bands my 3 older brothers got me into… KISS and Black Sabbath!
Second, title this “Shit you probably don’t remember, and I’ll never forget! I mentioned a few weeks ago about cooking the hotdog with a car battery. (And I have to mention you got my last name right pronounced like “Hi – EL” but over the decades I answer to anything!
Back in 2008 the band Shinedown released a song called “Second Chance” it was their biggest hit, and I remember you playing it on M&B and commenting how it was a great rock / pop single.
Well, 3 years ago I took my then 9 year old daughter to see Shinedown for her first concert, 3 years later and my whole family is obsessed! Going to see them August 3rd at the Forum. I mention all this Mark because you have impressed me more and more lately with your words about doing better! Shinedown exemplifies that! Take a listen to the song “A Symptom of being human” or their recent single “365” guaranteed to bring up some emotions my friend!
And about doing better I can’t tell you my job but I teach a class for troubled youth and I know this was a Brian saying, but the last words I tell the class are “Be good humans!”
Thank you for getting better with age! Even if Daddy is creepy and you pee in a hose through a wall! Seriously, that’s why we listen and love you!
Good Afternoon Mark,
You have really brought me a lot of laughs with your podcasts! I absolutely love your movie recommendations (The Pitt, Better Man and the new Superman). I would like to give you a couple back: “Stick” staring Owen Wilson (it’s a golf sport comedy) and “Shrinking” staring Harrison Ford (dark humor comedy about going to seeing your Shrink/Therapist) both of these shows make me literally laugh out loud, I hope you enjoy them too. God bless you and the family.
Howdy, Mark! Thank you so much for the memories regarding Kevin Gilbert. I join the myriad Mark and Brian fans who fell in love with toy matinee, and Kevin Gilbert thanks to the Mark and Brian Program.
Somewhere in the depths of my archives, I have a cassette tape of him on the show promoting “Thud.“ I will.digitize it shortly and would love to send it to you. Please let me know how to do that.
Hey Mark – I am way behind on episodes. I just finished Ep 13. I loved it. Matthew and Eleni and the news about your upcoming grandchild which he has probably been born by now. Hopefully an easy birth and healthy baby. Even though I disagree with your politics I loved how you handled the negative comments you received. With dignity and respect. You are right everyone is free to give their opinion but with respect to others. There is no room for hate. I’d like to say just a few things about President Trump. He loves our country. He keeps every promise he makes (when does a politician do that?) and no one hears about stories of his kindness. For example did you know…that when Donald was in school (it was elementary) a classmate of his lost his dad. Donald’s father paid for this classmate and his brother’s schooling. The man who shared this story said the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Also, he was in the back of the limo one time going somewhere in NY and someone on the side of the road had car trouble or a flat. He had the driver pull over and paid to have the car fixed or the tire changed. Sorry I’m old like you and can’t remember verbatim! Another story of him paying for the mortgage of a hotel worker. No one ever hears these stories? Why? Anyways…I put up with your cussing. You are like a bad habit you can’t break. UGH..I love your stories, they are the best part of your show. Never change that part! Love you faults and all (we all have them!). Say hey to Linda.
EP50. Hello From Albuquerque. Loving your continued commitment to providing entertainment. It is greatly appreciated. In this episode you made some kind of comment about Mark and Brian having an origin story that started in New Mexico. I have not heard that comment before. What was the Genesis of Mark and Brian and what is the New Mexico connection? Pretty please. And thank you.
A question: do you get residuals when Reba episodes are shown on tv? Just curious as I was shocked reading an article recently about how little money some actors were getting even though shows they were on were getting heavy rotation on the tv.
Hello Mark,
Just wanted to say thank you. I really enjoy hearing about your relationships with your family, friends and colleagues. The people portion of what you do is so genuine. You sharing real life experiences, with a sense of vulnerability, gives a real look at what life is about. I’ve always appreciated that. Thank you.
Hello,
Lisa from Portland here, I know last week there was a comment to do a segment on songs we are embarrassed to say we like. I know you said you were going to do that so I wanted to put in my song now because I just came up in a conversation I was having with a co worker. My song I am embarrassed to say I like because it is kinda awful. The song is the theme song from a movie called Same Time Next Year with Alan Alda from 1978, the song is called ” The Last Time I Felt Like This” by Johnny Mathis and Jane Olivor. I cant explain why I love it, I just do, it is sweet and sappy.
Hi RG, you yahoo red neck, love your podcasts, been listening to you since M&B days.
I’m catching up with the podcast, I had a difficult 3 months after my mom’s passing this April.
In one of the episodes you mention about bidet’s, I have 2 of them installed in my home 15 years ago. They are life changing, they are installed on top of your existing bowl, the brand name is TOTO, and you can order it from Amazon! they come with a remote, temp. controlled seat, blow dryer & warm water jet. Here is the link: https://a.co/d/2Dtd3OE
Go ahead treat yourself to some luxury; Lynda will love it too!
Mark, loved the interview with Tom Bergeron but had a hard time hearing him and in this week in history you left off Disneyland opening up in 1955. WTF and you were an employee. Come on bitch you can do better. Family four pack?
Hello RG! Permission to enter. As a long time listener (since 1989) and massive love and respect I have to express my concern over these recent falls of yours. I am 57 and my doctor told me few years ago to do balance exercises and yoga. Have you considered these type of exercises? As we age mobility, stretching and balance exercises are part of key to longevity, good mobility and protection to bones as we age as risk of falls increase.
I know I’m just another TRL but I’ve been a listener for over 35 years and I need you around for another 35 years. 😉 Much love and concern, Nurse Linda from Pico.

Hey RG,
