Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's a brand new feature on. One more thing. It's
one more thing. I'm strong and getty. One more thing
before we get to the new feature. Michaelangelo, you had
a big birthday over the weekend. Yeah, I turned fifty.
Nice celebration, how to go.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I tried to keep it low key, just to go,
went out to dinner, got some gifts, family friends, you.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Know, just low key, nothing exciting. I'm not a big partier. Yeah,
we know that about you. Yeah. I was thinking I
was going to do something like huge for my sixtieth
and didn't. It was fun, it was great. The kids
were in town, so we just kind of celebrated as
a family and it was fine. I was thinking of
like hiring one of my favorite bands and having them
(00:48):
do a private show. I had visions of grandeur, but
then it's not notale with it sounds like a lot
of work. Yeah, Loki's the best.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I think.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I did have a heck of a wing ding for
my four That was fun. I remember that. Yeah, winging.
Oh it was. It was like a barbecued catering and
a cag and uh, the dead flowers were active at
that point, so I think we may have played a
little bit, just with acoustic guitars and stuff like that,
(01:18):
and other people strummed and and my dog got drunk,
and uh it was it was a good party.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Really, How did how did the dog get drunk?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, in the I think it was the next morning,
the keg was still out there in the garbage can,
like with melted ice, and like all of the beer
and foam that had spilled over, So the water was
probably mildly alcoholic. And this was Onyx, are our old
black lab and he was unmistakably intoxicated, which is not
(01:49):
good for dogs. Their livers are not made to take
an alcohol. It's a terrible idea. Don't feed alcohol to
your dog. So we were really concerned about it, but
called the vet. The vet said, how much did he drink?
I'll keep an eye and I'm gonna let us know
if anything crazy happens. It was fine.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Meanwhile, Onyx is just chilling and just really wishes he
had a cigarette.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You know, I was wondering was he an angry drunk
or no, he was a laying around in the sunshine drunk,
which was what he was sober as well. So you know,
when somebody gets drunk, their real character comes out. Yeah,
he wanted to lay in the sunshine. He's a big
black dog, was a big pup dog. God rest his
doggy soul. But anyway, so happy belated birthday, Michael. Although
(02:29):
we wished you happy birthday at the time, hope, yeah, no,
I appreciated wishes. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Of course, a bunch of love filled messages telling him
you had one foot in the grave.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yep, skulls and crossbones, that sort of thing, the traditional
I got a lot of those. Yes, Well, we laugh
about the things we fear as human beings. It's it's
part of being a human being. Anyway. So here's the
new feature, and of course it has to have a
theme song. So I've been working on it. I've been
working on this for hours. Sto, what is we didn't
(03:01):
get to today? Stories we didn't get to today? What
do you think? Katie's look says it all abject horror.
I don't like to light you Joel A plate thirty three, Michael,
This is not good. This just should not happen.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Owen Ray was on spring break with a friend in Copenhagen, Denmark,
and the attorney tells us the two were heading back
to their hotel the night of March thirtieth, had a
dispute with their ride share driver. The pair that exited
the vehicle. The driver subsequently got out as well and
kicked Owen. Owen then pushed back and the driver fell.
(03:44):
Owen and his friend ran away and then went to
the airport for their separate flights home the next day.
That's when authorities prevented them from boarding their flights, deeming
them to be a flight risk. The attorney says, the
pair has been in custody since that time.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You know, I would have to say to the authorities,
I'm about to walk on an airliner and you're calling
me a flight risk. Get how funny that is? I mean,
do you understand how funny? How Why are you hitting me?
Those cuffs are tight? Oh, I'm a guaranteed flight risk.
(04:23):
I'm literally getting ready. Oh you get it, I get Oh,
stop hitting me. So that reminds me of ages ago.
So back when Jack drank Katie, we would occasionally like
go out on the town, particularly if we were we
would go to our affiliate in San Francisco at the
(04:44):
time a fair amount and do meetings and broadcasts from
there and meet clients and that sort of thing, like
at the beginning, once a week overnight. Okay, we'd be
there for a couple of days and then it was
less and less. But so we would often we were
young and wrong and hardy at that point, but we
would often go out and get our drink on and
(05:06):
I would I would always bow out, you know, like
it was already two hours later than I should have stopped.
But I'd be like I going back.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So Jack would plunge on through the night. I mean
that doesn't shook me at all. He would barely sleep
at all, and it would have killed me. I just
don't have the constitution for it. But so the one
time we parted company and he just continued on doing
whatever he did, and he got a cab ride home
from this. You know what, stealing somebody else's story is terrible,
(05:39):
it's plagiarism. But he had a cabby and the ride
share thing reminded me of it, who had some sort
of accent. And Jack said, so, where are you from?
And Cabby said, you know whatever, here San Francisco. He said, no, no,
where are you from originally? And he's like, I've lived
in San Francio. No, your family where they're from, and
(05:59):
this guy took a fence to it and he started yelling,
what do you want me to do? Dig up my
parents and show you their bones?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
My own family.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You insucked my family, and he went crazy and Jack
thought he was gonna have to fight him, and the
guy just heaved him out of the cab, said get
out of my cab, set him somewhere in the middle
of San Francisco to make his way home again. Oh
my gosh, I do you want me to dig up
my parents' bones bones? Yes, yes, I howl in that
(06:32):
at you. They're pissed off. Throws you out of the cap.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The amount of money I would pay to go back
in time and have one of those nights out with
both of you guys.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Oh yeah, man, Yeah, well you could. You could probably
get some fairly accurate accounts of it from Jamie Coffee,
who was our news person at the time, who would
go with us on these tracks. Believe it or not. Yeah,
there was budget for three people's hotel rooms. No way. Yeah,
(07:02):
I know. Well I think it was trade like you other,
in exchange for advertising, but it was almost always at
the Fabulous Handlery Hotel. Ye shout out to John Handlery
and the crew always nice right off of Union Square,
beautiful hotel and just lovely anyway, good times. But yeah,
we would all go out and Scott our producer, Scotty
(07:23):
shout out to you too, my friend. It was just
it was crazy, stupid, unnecessary, excessive.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, yeah, this industry kind of creates that sometimes though.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, and we would we at least once we're all
out together, and and somebody decided it was a good
idea as we walked along the pavement to stop in
one of the well sex shops in San Francisco that
had various toys and elements and accessories for you to
(08:03):
enjoy intimacy's with the partner of your choice, and just
walked around, giggling, looking at all the devices and and
talking about them and suggesting what could be done with them.
Which again it's it's three dudes and a woman. Although Jamie,
God bless her, Katie, you would get along with great
because she is no shrinking violet. Okay, I mean, if
(08:23):
something truly offensive were said in that setting, it was
Jamie saying.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, okay, well she sounds like my spirit animal.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Then yeah, yeah, yeah, you're you're a sister from another
mister or something. Yeah, what, Oh I love Jamie anyway?
Uh dur where was I?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, and so it was just it was one of
those nights. Got a great song out of one of
those nights, post Street Blues. Look it up on Apple
Music or wherever you get your music.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Okay, just.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So hammered.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Is there another track called do You Want Me to
Dig Up My Parents' Bones?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
It's an instrumental? Yeah, okay, all right, back to stories.
We didn't get to this thirty four. I think it's
self explanatatious, Michael, if you'd play that for us.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Several groups supporting crime victims are how speaking out against
resentencing for Lyle and Eric Menendez. A judge in Los
Angeles ruled Friday that process should move forward, which could
ultimately lead to their.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Release from prison.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
The Menendez family says the brother's aunt, Terry Berralt, is
hospitalized in critical condition. They say she became upset when
the DA showed an image of Jose Menendez's lifeless body
during a hearing last week.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
All right, so you got the whole Menendez brothers thing
and all here's the headline. I did not see coming
Rosi O'Donnell says convicted killer Lyle Menendez is the first
straight man she could love and trust.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Oh good, good, very good. I'm sure she's thrilled about
that headline.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Roso Donald, who I believe lives in Ireland now because
Trump got elected, has said that Lyle Menendez is the
first straight man she could love or trust. They've been
longtime friends. While he remained behind bars, he started calling
me on a regular basis from the tablet phone thing
they have. He would tell me about his life, what
(10:20):
he's been doing in prison, and for the first time
in my life, I felt safe enough to trust and
be vulnerable and love a straight man.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Well, I don't there's even words for that.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
What I know? What is she trying? He's just everything?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Is she trying everything she can to be a headline
or relevant or something?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I don't know. This is bizarre. Yeah, I think she broke.
She's had a psychic break because the real estate developer
with whom she had a long and bitter feud is
now the most powerful man in the world, and she
just couldn't take it anymore. She's the female on you now. Yeah, yeah,
you know, there's there's a great deal. More to the story.
(11:04):
Maybe we'll hit it on the on the Armstrong and
Getty Show, the radio show tomorrow. But Rosie, get help, Darling.
Do they have help in Ireland? I think they probably
have a pretty good health plan. Get help. You're crazy,
cuckoout well. I guess that's it.
It's a brand new feature on. One more thing. It's
one more thing. I'm strong and getty. One more thing
before we get to the new feature. Michaelangelo, you had
a big birthday over the weekend. Yeah, I turned fifty.
Nice celebration, how to go.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
