Listener since KLOS. I have always called Steal Away “Steal A Song.” I have always thought it was flat out plagiarism and I would have sued the fuck out of Dupree and Elektra. I appreciate the story but nothing cool, rad or awesome about it. I agree with the LA times journalist who called it a blatant wimpy ripoff of What a Fool Believes.

This is just a note to say thank you Mr. Thompson. I’m so glad that I can still listen to your work! My dad was the biggest Mark and Brian fan I know (maybe thats biased, whatever). You’re voice was a staple whenever I was in his car as a kid, and when I became an adult I realized I really had no business listening to the show as a kid (yikes), but my dad was right… what my mom didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her! It stayed with me always and your show became a staple on my morning commute when I grew up. I can still remember texting my dad to see if he caught the latest show and we would discuss our favorite parts. I waited awhile to get a signed copy of your book which I loved by the way (it’s in a special cover on my bookshelf) – but it took me some time to start. This September we lost my dad to early onset Alzheimer’s, he was only 62 when he passed. It was hard for me to open the book and start reading but a week ago I finally did it, and the memories it brought me were priceless. At the end he could still remember his kids, lyrics to his favorite songs, and I wouldn’t doubt it if he knew your voice as well. Thank you for the years of laughs, you’re a legend and I look forward to your podcast!

I have been out of touch for awhile. Can anyone share what were the island questions Mar would ask guests from time to time?

Candy
Movie
Food
One “thing” – like your dog. (I never understood this one… why not just bring a satellite phone so you can be rescued if you want?)
Person for conversation (living or dead)
Person for “naked yum-yum” time (living or dead, current or prime, can’t be current partner)

You forgot favorite album Norm.

Hey RG,
I’ve been a long time listener since the 80’s and have been on this awesome ride with you since then. I’m a few months behind on the show and I’m trying to catch up but I just wanted to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed the shows with Andy and especially Chuck. It was great to hear both of their voices again and that they are both doing great! Oh, and before I forget, congratulations to you and Lynda on the new grand baby! My first grand baby was born last year and we just love her to pieces!
Anyway, I wanted to give a couple of answers to the island questions. Candy bar-Snickers, Food-In N Out Burger, Album-Dark Side of the Moon, Movie-Back to the Future (I don’t know why I love that crap!), it was a toss up for who to talk to. The first person I thought of was you, the RG! I just love hearing your stories like when you as a kid threw rocks at Donnie Osmond and he threw them back! Or, when you sat in the same booth at the diner that Lionel Richie wrote “Easy” in. Awesome stuff! Would love to hear those two again! But I was thinking maybe I should pick someone that I would have a little better chance of surviving on the island like that Professor from Gilligan’s Island! What was his name? Roy Hinkle? For sexual gratification-Cristie Brinkley!
I just wanted to thank you for all that you do! I know this is your passion and that’s why you do it. Not for us SRL’s but for you! And that’s awesome! I’m just glad you are willing to share your passion with us! I truly do miss Lynda on the show. Back in the days when she was the traffic girl, Anita! That was great stuff! And, your kids! They are all awesome in their own way. I miss Katie too, chick on the street. I love her approach to life. She sees things through a different lens than most! Love it! Wish we could hear from her again.
Sorry for the long message but it’s been a while!
Thank you again for being an awesome human!

Hi RG,
Wow! I feel so honored. I have the Batphone number! I’m going work even harder now to get my time machine working so I can use the number!
Just so you know, a UPS is an uninterruptible power supply. They make them for everything from home computers to bigger things like your studio. I’ve been using one for years for my PC. Besides providing power during outages, they also help keep power levels consistent during power drops and power surges. For computers, they can run anywhere from $50 to several hundred.
And finally, you mentioned who-done-it shows. You should check out an old show called “Ellery Queen” from 1975-76. Usually, on the show, you will see the murder, but not who did it. You watch Ellery (played by Jim Hutton – Timothy’s father) investigate. Just before the end of the episode, he stops and addresses the audience and asks if you’ve figured it out. He mentions some of the clues he’s found. After the commercial break, he returns with all of the suspects in the room, then he names the killer and how all the clues fit in. It was an excellent show with some big name guest stars. Too bad it only lasted one season. It is available on Amazon, according to IMDB.
As always, thank you for always doing what you do.

Thanks you, Mark, for the sexiest Birthday Bone ever. I would give anything to be your Mail whore. I always enjoy you telling me what Daddy likes. Mama likes you and everything you do. Say Hey to Lynda. I love and miss my Little Georgia Peach.
BBJ says
Mark! Buddy, your a class act, but I never knew how much until you talked about Supertramp’s Breakfast in America!
Supertramp’s Breakfast in America is the album I would have with me on a island if it was the only album I could listen to.
Still after 44 YEARS, I just love it!
Hoody Hoo!
Bill LeMonds says
Hey RG,
I wanted to thank you for the birthday bone! I was listening to the previous episode and thought, damn he miss me. Well, Sunday, a week after my birthday, I’m traveling to a conference, listening to the show and you said my name and pronounced my last name correctly. It was a great surprise. Thanks again. Been listening to everything you have done since 1998. Keep up the good work!

Hello there RG!
I absolutely LOVE your show (podcast) especially your interview with Donny Osmond. I’ve wanted to go back and listen to it again, but can’t seem to find it. Can you point me in the direction of where it lives?
Also, what episodes of the Adventures of Mark and Brian do you not have or seen?
Just another stupid replaceable listener.
