00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Ridiculous Crime is a production of My Heart Radio. Hey, Saron,

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: you know it's ridiculous. Well, yes, Elizabeth, I do know

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. The fact that if you're two miles away

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: from a blue whale, you could hear its heart beating. Really,

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: that's how far away the sound of their heartbeat travels underwater. Wow,

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: that is ridiculous. Miles Sure, okay, I'll give you that

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: the heart only beats eight to ten times a minute. Yeah,

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you would know it was you know,

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: it's a whale heartbeat. Yeah, I don't know. You have

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: to have a you know, either a good imagination or

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: you know. I think I just felt patience. Well, here's

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: another thing that's ridiculous, pulling impost pranks of increasing severity

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: until the joke gets old and you go to jail.

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: O fun in games. I'm Elizabeth Dutton and the fellow

15
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: sitting across from me is Zarin Burnett. And this is

16
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: Ridiculous Crime, a podcast about absurd and outrageous capers, heists

17
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: and cons. It's always murder free and one ridiculous. Now,

18
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: one thing that my grandmother always used to tell me

19
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: was act like you know best advice right. Basically, if

20
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: you act like you're supposed to be somewhere or that

21
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: you know what you're doing, that most people are just

22
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: going to go along with it. Here's an example. I

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: learned to drive when I was eight years old, but

24
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: that's a whole other story. But when I was about

25
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: thirteen or so, my grandma decided she was tired of

26
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: running down to the store in the car and that

27
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: since I knew how to drive, well, you know, I

28
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: might as well be the one to run the errands.

29
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: So one afternoon she told me to get in the

30
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: car and drive down to the market and get milk.

31
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: Years old and now thirteen year old me, I can

32
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: only be described as a power nerd. And I didn't

33
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: act up. I didn't do anything rascally, very much by

34
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: the rules, and so as such I was hesitant to

35
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: take part in this very obviously a legal activity, A

36
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: lot of emphasis on hesitant. So she just she told me, look,

37
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: you know how to drive, just go down there, get

38
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: the milk, come back, No big deal. She didn't even

39
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: go with you, oh no, no voyage. And I the

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: carton of milk, stick a butter. I was a party.

41
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure. So she just tells me, you know what,

42
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: act like you know, and if you act like you're

43
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: supposed to be driving down there, and then you probably

44
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: won't get pulled over. And I figured, Okay, if I'm

45
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: pulled over, I'm going to weave this tale of wove

46
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: like how I'm getting provisions for my aged grandmama. I

47
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: had a whole script in my head. So drive down

48
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: to the store. It what Oh yeah, I drove down

49
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: to the store of Grandma says jump. I say hi, Hi,

50
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: even though I really don't want to do this and

51
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: it's very dangerous. Drive down the store, I act like

52
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: I know right, buy a gallon of non fat, drive

53
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: home easy as I please. I got away with it,

54
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: and then my mom got home from work and found

55
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: out I'm going to guess through my little brother. Okay,

56
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: I was one of my Grandma wouldn't snitch on herself,

57
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: so no. So my mom finds out, though totally not

58
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: happy about this, to have a thirteen year old just

59
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: cruised ground because she's a lawyer. The law matters. Yeah,

60
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: well we were ordered to cease our illicit Aaron runs

61
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: after that, But for that one glorious moment, thirteen year

62
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: old me, face full of braces, drove a Mercedes station

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: wagon down to the grocery store like a confident soccer

64
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: mom for you, Thank you. Have you ever pretended to

65
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: be someone else? Oh? Girl? Um? Yeah? Ah. So I

66
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: used to be told pretty much any time I left

67
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: my house that I looked like Bob Marley because I

68
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: had really long dreadlocks and facial hair and just seemed

69
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: to apparently resemble him. I mean like all the time.

70
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: You could ask anyone of my freends. They got really

71
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: used to, right, So okay. I then eventually went down

72
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: to l A and I would get cast in this

73
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: Bob Marley biopic that they're going to make, and I

74
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: was like pretty stoked about that. So then I'm like

75
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: testing it out because I'm also at the time a

76
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: television writer. So I go to a big conference in

77
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: New Orleans and I end up being basically I pretend

78
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: to be Ziggy Marley. Like this person assumes it wasn't.

79
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: I didn't like tell anyone I was Ziggy Marley, So

80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: you know you could have done it spot on it. Well,

81
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: that's merity impressions. I don't know how you do it,

82
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: so I just go well, basically walking around the Bourbon street.

83
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: This dude comes up and I'm with this really tall,

84
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: like six five, blite guy who is wearing like SIMI

85
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: militaristic looking clothing because like he could be a bodyguard.

86
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: This guy runs up on me. He's like, Yo, man,

87
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: it's so good to see you in my town. Man.

88
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: I was like, man, the drugs here are wild, right,

89
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, man, come on, man, don't

90
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: go anywhere. This is I'm so plaud. Let me show

91
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: you around. Man, this is tough. I'm like, who does

92
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: he think that? Yeah, Like this guy, the mayor of

93
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: New Orleans is very amenable, so he's just like he

94
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: keeps on being in my face about this. He's like, hey, man,

95
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: you gotta like, uh, oh, I gotta take you over

96
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: to this bar. I gotta, oh, you gotta meet someone.

97
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: So he's just name it off people. I'm like, I

98
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: don't know who these people are. I've never met one

99
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: arm Frank, so I can. I'm sure he's a delightful fellow.

100
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: We can go meet him. He's like, no, man, you

101
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: gotta do this. So I'm like, eventually I realized who

102
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: he thinks I am. When he says I can't believe

103
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Ziggy Marley, here are you? He guys performing like you

104
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: guys coming on tour right now. I didn't even know

105
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: who you were in town. I was like, oh, man,

106
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: So at this point I haven't really spoken enough that

107
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: he's heard me talk. Just I start using the Jamaican

108
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: accent that I've been working on for the Bob Marley

109
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: movie that i' oh, this is a great He just

110
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: answered yeah and everything. Oh, you have no idea, Like

111
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: on vacation, I just basically became the biggest like, oh,

112
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: put some braids in my hair. I'm gonna come back

113
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: and tell everyone I was just in Jamaica. You've ever

114
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: seen hot yet? Like a steel drum. It was amazing

115
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: jerk ery. So I sat there and allowed this dude

116
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: to take me to bar to bar to bar and

117
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: introduced me to all these people. And I just pretended

118
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: to be Ziggy Marley in New Orleans. And let me

119
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: just tell you it didn't end well. Okay, Yeah, so

120
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to tell all right? If you I

121
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: can tell you about you know, we can get back.

122
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: Let's come back to that. Okay, So you have pretended

123
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: to be someone else. You are certainly familiar with this

124
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: impostor game. All right, let me tell you about another impostor.

125
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: He's an all star, you could say. Let me introduce

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: you to Barry Bremen, who I like that. Nat Berry

127
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: was born in ninet in Detroit, got two sisters, Beryl

128
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: and Luma. The parents were just on one. I love this,

129
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: or like, how about your name a girl Barrel, We

130
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: named a boy Barry, and we named the last one Blooma.

131
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: They're totally they have nothing to do with the story.

132
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: But I just love the fact that his sister's names

133
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: are Barrel and Blooma. Aside from that, so he grows

134
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: up to be a really athletic guy, six four, He

135
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: gets married, he has three kids, works as an insurance agent.

136
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: Really athletic guy, like plays basketball, slow pitch softball, racquetball, golf,

137
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: little touch football with all his pals. He's a jokester

138
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: to know, just a good old dude. And let me

139
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: tell you about how Barry Breman earned his nickname the

140
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: Great Impostor. Oh yes, he's the Great impostor. He I'm

141
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 1: gonna just let that go. So once upon a time,

142
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: Barry Bremen went to a Detroit Pistons game and they

143
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: were playing the then Kansas City Kings games wrapping up,

144
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: he sneaks over to the Kansas City bench and steals

145
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: a warm up outfit from one of the bench warmers

146
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: who had already headed into the locker room. Okay, and

147
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: he liked to wear the outfit when he played racquetball,

148
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, just showing out to his pals. So one day,

149
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: while he's playing with his buddies playing a little racquetball,

150
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: he makes a joke about good use for that warm

151
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: up uniform'll find out and they make a bet. Make

152
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: a bet, how could you put this to good use? Now,

153
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: I want you to close your eyes and picture this.

154
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: It's February nine. It's the NBA All Star Game. It's

155
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: at the Pontiac Silver Dome, which was weird because it

156
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: wasn't in a traditional basketball arena, but the Pistons were

157
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: hosting and that's where they were playing at the time. Anyway,

158
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: it's an All Star game. It's Kareem Abdul Jabbar's ninth one. Yeah,

159
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: he's out there and all his majesty, dominating and looking

160
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: awesome and being super cool and also a genius. But

161
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: I'm a little biased because he and I share a

162
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: birthday and he's also the greatest. Anyway, this has nothing

163
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: to do with Kareem. He shows Berry shows up at

164
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: the arena on game day. Hey, guys, at halftime, he

165
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: goes into the bathroom and he changes into that Kansas

166
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: City King's warm up suit and then he just walks

167
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: down onto the court, just easy to please. He admits

168
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: to some of the guys who are actually warming up

169
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: that he's there on a bet and he just needs

170
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: to take a shot, so they let him play um

171
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: during halftime. He misses his first four shots, but then

172
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: the whole thing was like cracking everybody up, so they

173
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: let him hang out until the third quarter started. So

174
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: he's on there for like all of halftime. No one else,

175
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: not officials, press, nothing, no one notices him until he

176
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: goes and he sits on the team bench and then um,

177
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: he becomes a bit of an instant celebrity. When this

178
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: happened ends, it gets picked up. Dick Shap. You know

179
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: that is yeah, Oh you said Dick Shap, but they

180
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: said Dick Slap. No. Dick Shap sports reporter on the

181
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: Today Show on NBC. He called Barry sportsman of the

182
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: week and Barry goes on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show for

183
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: wearing his warm up suit. Carson, Oh yeah, no, he

184
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: this is just he's just tickled the entire nation. He

185
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: goes on the TV show Bowling for dollars. Oh wait

186
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: a minute, I mean Carson's one thing, but he gets

187
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: the fame book. I mean he's been on Bowling for dollars.

188
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: So we're going to fast forward a couple of months

189
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: to June and the US Open Golf tournament is being

190
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: held in Toledo, Ohio. Barry shows up, brings his clubs,

191
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: acts like he knows he you know, he's milling around.

192
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: One of the pros drops out of a practice run

193
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: the day before the tournament is about to start, and

194
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: Barry takes his place, slips on in there. We've secretly

195
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: replaced Jerry Pate with Barry Breman. Let's see if they notice.

196
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: And he's terrible. He's a mess. After the rounds over,

197
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: he admits season impostor and everyone chuckles. So but later

198
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: that same month, he sneaks on stage at a Harry

199
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: Chapin concert and sits at the piano. He's starting to

200
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: get good at it. After the second song, Chapin notices

201
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: Barry so to the first two songs of the concert,

202
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: he's just parked at the piano like playing I don't

203
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: know again, I'm just sitting there. I guess I don't know.

204
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: And so he like somehow managed to explain himself really quickly.

205
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: I guess handgesters and then like notes passed with the Rhodies.

206
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: Next thing you know, Harry Chapin has him singing a

207
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: solo chorus of all My Life's The Circle is a

208
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: ridiculous Circle. I don't I'm not familiar with that song,

209
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: but I guess Barry knew it, just like hauled into

210
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: the into the chorus, let loose berries on a roll

211
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: completely um. So he has this newfound desire he needs

212
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: to impersonate, fame adjacent people for attention. He's intoxicated by it. Now,

213
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: when you were out there duping bartenders in the French

214
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: Quarter making him think you were ziggy Marley, was there

215
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: a high that you felt when you were getting away

216
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: with him? All right, I have to admit something. So

217
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: there I am, as a as an actor, trying to

218
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, practice my Jamaican accent, and so I'm acting

219
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: like his dad they don't know that because they think

220
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: I look like Ziggy, so they just hear Ziggy. And

221
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: as I'm convincing the third set of bartenders, I did

222
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: start to feel Okay, I have a criminal heart, as

223
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: we all know. So I was like, I'm getting over

224
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: on them. Oh man, this is amazing, Hey, Ted man,

225
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: and you want to that's the guy I'm with him,

226
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: like order a bigger drink, you know, like, let's let's

227
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: do this up. And so then we go to another bar.

228
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: Of the bartenders like me. This time, I get up

229
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: on the bar and I'm like performing. So you were

230
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: riding the high, completely riding the I decided to like,

231
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, this is like I understand where Barry's feeling.

232
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: He's like, you know what, I'm gonna do it on

233
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: the shape. I'm gonna get up on stage and I'm

234
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: just gonna go for it. Because once you get that

235
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: feeling of people are paying attention, and if you don't

236
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: feel the fear and you aren't like as you as

237
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: you say, if you're acting like you know and act

238
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: like you belong there, oh man, you can go all

239
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: sorts of places you don't know. Your ego will take

240
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: you well and I think that once you realize that's

241
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: you can get it through that door, then it's it's

242
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: like snowball downhill. That's what happens with Barry. Right. So

243
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: now we're July nine, he's already worked his way on stage, field, court, everything. Um.

244
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: He goes to Seattle and he's contacted his old pal

245
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: Dick Shap at the Today Show and the two of

246
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: them can coct a plan to get Bury on the

247
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: field at the MLB All Star Game. Okay, so they're

248
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: just up in the anti. Um. He actually Shap gets

249
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: Royal's third baseman, George Brett in on it too. That

250
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: is not easy. He's not known for his sense of humor. Right,

251
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: So Barry gets fake press credentials. He arrives at the stadium,

252
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: George Brett takes him into the locker room. Follow me,

253
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: and there he presents. There he presents Barry with a

254
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: custom made Yankees uniform with his Barry's lucky number thirteen.

255
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: Barry's geeked, right. He's meeting all the players, um, even

256
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: Pete Rose and his snap on hair helmet come over

257
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: and they all want to make a button like. They

258
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: shake hands. He gets to meet Pete Rose, and Barry

259
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: tells his teammates like, hey, I'm an impostor, as if

260
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: they don't know who's on their team. Okay, Barry, there's

261
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: that a humor room, all right. Um they figure that out,

262
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: but they He gets to go out on the field

263
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: and um, you know, field some flyballs during warm up.

264
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: He gets into the team photo right he uh. That's

265
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: when an MLB official, though, realizes there's a faker out there.

266
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: He's like, that guy doesn't look right. So Mary Mary

267
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: Barry makes a break for it, and he goes to

268
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: hide in the locker room and he had to stay

269
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: hidden in the sauna, which was off, so he wasn't,

270
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, just Gary Carter's and nursing out, nursing his knees.

271
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: He had to hide in the sauna. Why Gerald Ford

272
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: President Gerald Ford was getting a tour of the locker

273
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: room at the time, so like, I didn't heard Ford's

274
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: favorite tours the locker room. He's like he's doing that

275
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: thing where you like wave the air twitch that's fresh lineament. Yeah.

276
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm guessing you guys haven't done laundry recently,

277
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh shucks, yes, Gerald, it's a lot

278
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: more innocent and less militarized times. If you've got someone

279
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: like creeping around, hiding behind the the laundry basket and

280
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: ducking into the sauna, and the president's walking through the

281
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: locker room, and we're like not too far out from like,

282
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, post assassination of Kennedy, and I was like,

283
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: they could still be, like, we should be a little

284
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: bit tighter on these presidents. Maybe didn't really, They're like anyway,

285
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: So what's weird is that Reggie Jackson, who was playing

286
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: for the Yankees at the time, forgot his uniform, like

287
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: really really Reggie uniform to bring his uniform, Well, maybe

288
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: that's what he's thinking, like, are you hello, I'm Reggie Jackson.

289
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: You can't bring my uniform for me. And the only

290
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: thing I know where it is my talent. That's right,

291
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: That's all he needed. He borrows Berry's uniform, puts Barry's

292
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: uniform on, and then Barry's nude, so doesn't mind. Berry

293
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, he's weighing his options. Run out onto

294
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: the field. No, they give him a Seattle uniform to wear.

295
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: I figured Gerald ford pant. He's wearing Gerald Ford's pants

296
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: and Gerald Ford's porky pigging it. He's like, look, I'm

297
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: sitting in there. I'm sitting in the box. People only

298
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: see me from the waist up. It's like early zoo

299
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: oh um. So anyway, it's it's Berry wearing the Seattle

300
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: uniform that tips off management that there's tom foolery afoot,

301
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: and so he gets escorted out of the stadium before

302
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: the national anthem even begins. He cited for criminal trespassing

303
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: and find fifty bucks totally worth it. Barry is supposed

304
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: to go back on the Tonight Show to talk about

305
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: his exploits, but the appearance was canceled because MLB threatened

306
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: to sue if the tape was shown. That was just

307
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: Barry warming up though he was craving the thrill. Had

308
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: to take it to the next level. We need to

309
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: take a break and listen to some ads, and when

310
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: we come back, I'm going to tell you about that

311
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: next level. Barry Breman. Alright, so zaren. When we left off,

312
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: Barry Bremen had just crashed the MLB All Star Game,

313
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: traded you reforms around. Whatever he gets busted has to

314
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: pay fifty dollars. Oh yes, he's the great impostor sure,

315
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: he's craving the attention in the thrill, much like you

316
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: dancing on a French quarter bar. He has to take

317
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: it to that next level. He starts training, he starts

318
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: learning routines. He loses twenty three pounds so that he

319
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: can fit into a custom made outfit. He shaved his legs. Okay,

320
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: he's getting ready for his biggest impersonation yet. He's going

321
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: to become a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. And in the seventies,

322
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: that was like that was the particle, that was the pinnacle.

323
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: You know, growing up, I was not supposed to have,

324
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't allowed to have Barbie dolls, and it

325
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: was just like, you know, they thought it was a

326
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: toxic thing to give a little girl a Barbie dollar.

327
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: All you want is a Barbie dollar when you're in

328
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: that position. And I got a one for Christmas from

329
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: like a birthday party. It was like a birthday party

330
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: or something and you get these random gifts and um

331
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: from outside the household, and it was a Dallas Cowboys

332
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: cheerleader Barbie doll, like just over the top, like, oh,

333
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, you're not allowed to have a Barbie woman

334
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: to give you the most toxic Barbie here is like,

335
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: so that's what I always think when I see these things. Anyway, Uh,

336
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: he goes to the Dallas versus Washington game and there

337
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: are like over sixty people there. This is huge. He's

338
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: wearing fake breasts and a bra, hot pants, pantyhose. Nothing

339
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: goes together like hot pants and pantyhose and a halter

340
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: top right, and a blonde wig. You know how I

341
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: love a good wig. Detail. So third quarter he makes

342
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: his move. He he gets out there and gets one

343
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: cheer out go Dallas, gets out there, gets out there

344
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: with the cheerleaders on the field. Yeah, he goes like

345
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: lumbering out. The man is six four and he was

346
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: what and he drops like twenty three pounds. So he's

347
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: like and fake and extra long pantyhose and like go

348
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: dollars with all these ladies out there, and then security

349
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: nabs him. Now, Barry said that part of the prank

350
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: was a social statement. He said he picked the Cowboys

351
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: cheerleaders because they were the most famous of all. As

352
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: she said, like that was it, and that the Cowboys

353
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: were uptight and he wanted to make and they they

354
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: want to maintain a conservative image, and he thought they'd

355
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: make a good target like skewer them. Oh yeah, I'm

356
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: sure Tom Landry hated this well. And Barry's wife so

357
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: proud of him. She was just like she was proud

358
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: of him and all the hard work that he put

359
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: into it. Especially, she just like thought that was incredible.

360
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: The Cowboys. Do you think they took it? Oh, I'm

361
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna go with furious. Yeah, they were livid. They sued

362
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: Barry for ten tho dollars I think a lot of money. Seven. Yeah.

363
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: They threatened to have him his immediate family, his relatives,

364
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: and all his airs. This is like some North Korean

365
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: stuff here, all his airs banned from Texas Stadium and

366
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: any game where Dallas would be playing, quote forever and

367
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: ever do you say this is North Korea stuff? And

368
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: I know this is as Texas. As a guest, your

369
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: air is a band from Texas Stadium. They have he

370
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: has poisoned his own bloodline that he's not allowed. No,

371
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: I can imagine you're like berries like great great great grandson.

372
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: I can't go Grandpa Barry. Grandpa went out in some

373
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: hot pants and the whole family Dallas attention to birth.

374
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: They mark us, you get a DNA test exactly like

375
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: that explains why you have to get a DNA test

376
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: to get into a Dallas game. Um Berry brushes it off.

377
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: He's like, you know what, it was great, but I'm done.

378
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm turning in the whole impression thing. I'm over it.

379
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: I guess he said, you know, it was really tough

380
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: to dress like a woman, and he said it was

381
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: hard to shave his legs. I'd like to see him

382
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: try making eighty two cents for every dollar a man

383
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: earns and then we'll talk difficult. But whatever, Barry. They

384
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: settled the suit out of court, though, and he was

385
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: only banned from going to a Dallas game if he

386
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: dressed like a cheerleader. Well, that's really didn't carry out

387
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: the whole So Barry may have said that impersonating was

388
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: out of his system, but that just wasn't said. It's no,

389
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean I may impersonate someone tomorrow. Yeah, we'll see.

390
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: In the Marley family, Marley is he? Uh So Barry

391
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: pops up in an NFL Pro Bowl dressed as former

392
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: Detroit Lion Lamb Barney. Okay, he shows up as a

393
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: fake ref at an NHL All Star game on skates.

394
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: I hope, Yeah, on ice skates, wanted to do a loop.

395
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: He snuck into the Oscars hoping to an accept award

396
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: on behalf of someone who didn't show up, but he

397
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: chickened out and never left his seat. He posed as

398
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: a pro at the US Open golf tournament. Again, he

399
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: dressed up as an umpire, repeating himself, now he's going downhill, Bear,

400
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: it's not original. He's not keeping close notes. He dressed

401
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: up as an umpire at Game one of the World Series,

402
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 1: and that was yeah, Philly's Kansas City Royals. He went

403
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and pretended to be a referee.

404
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: Three of the other officials thought his act was pretty cute.

405
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: One did not call the cops on it. From the field.

406
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: He's down there. He's down there, and they're like, Oh,

407
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: you're so silly, Berry. And then when you know what,

408
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm tired I'm tired of, you'd be smirching the importance

409
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: of what we do. Take these stripes seriously, pal. They

410
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: kicked Berry out of the Super Bowl, But then he

411
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: comes back in using a ticket and watches the game.

412
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: What if he goes to another NBA All Star Game

413
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: and this time he's wearing a Houston rockets uniform, shoots

414
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: some layups during practice warm up time. He crashed Game

415
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: one of the NBA Finals dressed as a ref, made

416
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: it through the national anthem that time before he got

417
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: the boot, because normally in those situations he doesn't even

418
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: gets Yeah, he went to the super Bowl in Detroit

419
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: to the year eighty two, so that would been the

420
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: your Niners Niners actually Bengals and the Joe Montana Niners.

421
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: And he said it was his biggest stunt yet. Security

422
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: was on the lookout for him, heavy security, and Barry

423
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: arrives via a police escort. Now he's got the police

424
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: working for him, and they got the Blues and Dues running.

425
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: He's in a limo, so he's got them getting him

426
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: through all the traffic. Inside the limo is Barry, what

427
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: costume do you think he's wearing this time? It's going

428
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. He's dressed as a San Diego chicken.

429
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: So he's wearing formal wear. He's up to his game.

430
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: That's what I wore him high. He sells this as like,

431
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: this is my biggest stunt every Wait, you dressed as

432
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: a San Diego chicken for your problem? I knew that

433
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: catch you. Yeah, No, I didn't go on. You're supposed

434
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: to just say, oh totally, just pretend act like you know,

435
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: I like you be here before. Come on Burnett. So

436
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: he's dressed as a San Diego chicken. He says, this

437
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: is my biggest stunt and yeah and so on some

438
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, he's sending out flyers and that kind of thing,

439
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: so which he wasn't. Um, he gets three off duty

440
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Detroit cops to pretend to be his security guards in

441
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: this who hasn't done that, I'm telling you boy. They

442
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: get him into the stadium and he's just about to

443
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: get onto the field and local police stop him and

444
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: they asked him to take off the chicken head. So

445
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't really paying the best of Detroit's off duty cops.

446
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: That's the very first time they're confronted like yeah, that's

447
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: the thing is they're like other people who were barred

448
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: from entering, not just Barry at this particul the San

449
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: Diego chicken had also been barred, like kicking over here. No,

450
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: they had um the kissing Bandit was this, Yeah, she

451
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: was running around and um was in fact, I think

452
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 1: at that maybe that was another one. Anyway, they had

453
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: to look out for her. They had to look out

454
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:21,480

487
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: we gotta go back to the hotel. I think I

488
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: got the hotel key, and I pull it out and

489
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I got it. And I'm now not

490
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: speaking in a Jamaican accent at all. I'm speaking in

491
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: a very specific accent that is not Ziggy Marley to anyone.

492
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: And no one would be like she's that Zaggy Marley

493
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: with a head called Nope. Nobody was like that z

494
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: Marley dude, who is been taking me very generously from

495
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: bar to bar to bar, the mayor of the French Quarter,

496
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: if you will. He looks at me with these wild,

497
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: bloodshot eyes, half cocked headsideways, and I can feel all

498
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: of the sucks all of the air out of the

499
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: room into his nostrils and then looks at me and

500
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: then exhales it like an angry bull, and I was like, oh, man,

501
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: I am so screwed. He then snatches the key out

502
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: of my hand. He says say that again, and I

503
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: was like, oh, say what It's like, I knew it.

504
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: You ain't Ziggy Marley. And I was like, he didn't

505
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: just say mother. He ended up with a lot more syllables,

506
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: and then continue to insult my family and what my

507
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: mother used to do in the bed sheets and anybody

508
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: else in my family he could cast an aspersion out,

509
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: so my father, my grandmother, and my uncle and my

510
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:10,239
Speaker 1: sister made anybody. He went down through cowboys style pretty much.

511
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: And then he makes me and Ted go back to

512
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 1: every single bar and apologize to the bartenders who served us.

513
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: And the looks some of these bartenders had was so delighted,

514
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: like man, I knew you weren't Zinky Marley, and some

515
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: of them were like what she actually surprised and just

516
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: like disappointed, like I can't believe you would lie to

517
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: me like that. And they're cleaning a glass just looking

518
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: at me, and I'm having to apologize because he will

519
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: not give me back the hotel key and I cannot

520
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: get back into the hotel and there's no way I

521
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: can because I'm like, what I'm i gonna do? Like, yeah,

522
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: my boss is I he rented the room. I'm drunk.

523
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: Just yeah, come on, man, let me in that it's

524
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: not gonna play. I need this hotel key back. So

525
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: I've got to go to all of these bars, and

526
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: every single time I had to go talk to every

527
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: single person who I lied to. This guy insisted it

528
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: was one of the worst experiences of my life because

529
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: seeing all these like chat like these faces just fall

530
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: and these other people delighted that they were right and

531
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: that I am not Ziggy Marley. And I never wanted

532
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: to be Ziggie Marley, but suddenly by not being Ziggy

533
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: Marley by life as hell. Now, did anyone take pictures

534
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: with you? Yeah, I'm sure you could find photos of

535
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: this event. If you live in New Orleans, you know

536
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: somebody who worked at the you know, in the French Quarter,

537
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: in the big tourist bars, and this would have been

538
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: about probably ten years ago. So yeah, okay, So if

539
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: anyone has these photos, please produce them, pull them out.

540
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: I love that you were marched around like a kid

541
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: who stole a candy bar from the supermarket. I think

542
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: they'll give it back to apologize. Was it did that

543
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: sober you right up? But beyond sober? And it was

544
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: humiliating because I had to be confronted with the fact

545
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: that I basically ruined all these people's sense of trust

546
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: in and like the idea that something magical could happen

547
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: to them just for a couple of drinks. I was

548
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, I'm gonna take your trust and use

549
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: it against you. I'll take another hurricane. Was terrible with

550
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: what a terrible person I am. How many how much

551
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: money and free drinks do you think he landed? Oh?

552
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: Hundreds because it was me and my boy, who's like

553
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: really big, and so he was thrown down drinks and

554
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: he wasn't having to talk to everybody the whole time,

555
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: so he was just drinking, drinking, drinking the whole time,

556
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: So I'm sure we drank hundreds of dollars of drinks,

557
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: and they're also giving us the most expensive stuff they had, like,

558
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: oh you gotta drink this, my cow, and oh you

559
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: gotta make whatever they could. That was impressing. You're mixing

560
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: hurricanes and talent completely. It was horrible. And then yeah,

561
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: it was I'm a bad person. Final question about this, Yes,

562
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: Elizabeth back Row, Yes, were you wearing a puka shell necklace? Oh?

563
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: I have to admit I had left that at home

564
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: just because I don't want to look so hot. That

565
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: was the problem. If you'd had that on, they would

566
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: have been like, I need the choker. She is just

567
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: too tight and it's affecting his vocal words. Oh man,

568
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: it was terrible. And also, by the way, my friend Ted,

569
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: who was with me, was furious because he can't now

570
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: go back and do and he's drunk. He wants to

571
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: go to sleep, so he also has to go there

572
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: and apologize for something he didn't really do. He's like,

573
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not a mean too, So I know

574
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: the sooners we're done with this. He's going to read

575
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: me the Riot Act as soon as I'm done. I'd

576
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: had one more to go, so I shouldn't suggest that

577
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: Ziggy Marley is a good Halloween costume for you. I

578
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: think it be fantastic. All right, this next year there

579
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: is now or an alternate one, san Diego Chicken. Bringing

580
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: it back to Barry, I actually have the heads perfect.

581
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: So Barry says, san Diego Chicken, it's no Ziggy Marley,

582
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: but it's big. He said that that was his biggest

583
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: stunt yet, kind of you know, fell flat um and

584
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: so then he's like, Okay, you know what, I gotta

585
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,959
Speaker 1: go bigger. Now we're gonna take a break. All right.

586
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: When we come back, I'm going to tell you what's

587
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: bigger than Sego Chicken Hop hip hop? San Diego Chicken,

588
00:32:51,680 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: Ziggy Marley. Okay, Zarin Elizabeth Berry Bremen, Oh my dude,

589
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: san Diego Chickenley, what is that painful? Really trigger warning? Morley?

590
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: You keep doing it to me. Berry Bremen dresses as

591
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: a San Diego Chicken. Thinks it's going to be a

592
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: big prank. I think it's kind of his dumbest one.

593
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah it doesn't. I mean, it's it's two seventies. It's

594
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: like it's very specific to that moment. It wasn't it

595
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: didn't have the grand or some of those other st

596
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 1: seventies and because so that's what I mean, it's two seventies.

597
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: He's trying to keep that energy going. And it's like, bro,

598
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: come on right and like to step away from sports

599
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: for a bit in terms of impersonation. And he decides

600
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: to go to a Detroit conference of FBI and Secret

601
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: Service agents. Okay, well, I mean that's been so loose.

602
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: Security is so loose so far, like at the Anti

603
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: Le we go to some gonzo journalism. He goes and

604
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: he poseses Alan Wilson, Deputy Chief of the Los Angeles

605
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: Police Department. Okay, go on, I mean, and he puts

606
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: on a polyester suit and he gives a talk. He

607
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: gives a talk. He has a presentation on legalization of prostitution.

608
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: He's playing it totally straight. He gets up there and

609
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: he says, you know something, police and prostitution are synonymous. Whoa,

610
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: whoa Barry. That is quite the knock to prostitutions. The

611
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: crowd totally they lost it. They were out of control,

612
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: they were so angry. And he's just going on and

613
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: on like doing this whole riff about you know, I

614
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: love it, but you can't talk about sex workers like that.

615
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really an unfair comparison. Tops. But then

616
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: they start mellowing out because he pops in a videotape

617
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: called the Exploits of Ay Bremen. Oh, does it have

618
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: like a soundtrack like a baseline. Yeah, it's like this,

619
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: like funky music, and it's probably like a montage with

620
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: like the spinning pictures that then stopped of him like

621
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: on Johnny Carson. Basically let them know like I did it. Yeah,

622
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: he's it's it's surprised where I would be in there.

623
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: I would be like the FBI analyst who's there and thinking,

624
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Is this another one of those

625
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: team building garbage things where they got, oh, we brought

626
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: in very Bremen and he said, oh, did you kill

627
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: one of us? We have to decide who did it.

628
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: They have to like analyze the blood splatter on it. No,

629
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: he he puts in this videotape and everyone thinks it's hilarious.

630
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: They're just they're loving it. There's the pictures and he's

631
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: explaining Berry Bremen. Oh that's great. Yeah, And so that's big.

632
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: That's big going in front of the Feds. Yeah, actually

633
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: a felony for some people. But it's not as big

634
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: as funt Wait, he actually was bigger. He goes bigger.

635
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: Hear the year is. He calls up ABC. ABC. I'm sorry,

636
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: this is NBC. I'll call back. Well, ABC is there?

637
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: You know he calls a babyc. He says, hey, ABC,

638
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm a small town reporter from Michigan. I'm on vacation

639
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: in l A. And they're like, why are you telling

640
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: us this. He's like, listen, I want to cover something

641
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: that's going to be on your network and for my

642
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: local paper. And they don't give him a press pass.

643
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: They're like, we'll sell you a ticket. They sell him

644
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 1: a ticket for three d I'm so confused, Barry puts.

645
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of us are confused about Barry.

646
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: But hold on. Barry puts on a tuxedo with a

647
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: pink tie in a cumber bun and he walks into

648
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. He's at the five Primetime Emmy Awards.

649
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: So they charge him. They him He's like, look, I'm

650
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,640

Speaker 1: and I want to see who's the best in those stories, right,

653
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: instead of saying, oh, that's the sweetest thing, let me

654
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: get your press past like three hundred bucks. That's a

655
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of money in eighty five. I think they probably

656
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: upsell him. That was like a face ticket. Yeah, well no,

657

00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 1: they thought that they saw I had a celebrity sighting.

674
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: They thought they saw Edward James almost, and it was

Speaker 1: myself and I saw him, and I made that show,

679
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 1: she told herself. And then you stopped taking your own nagers,

680
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: no friends. So we have this like all these people.

681
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: You've got celebrities on the red carpet, you've got Cibil shepherding.

682
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: You have what's her name, Joan Collins. I mean, like

683
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: the sharpest shoulder pads out, she's slicing people's next open

684
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: and she's walking around with all the sequins, looking like

685
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers but totally totally. And then there's berry

686
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: pink tie, pink tie. Nice look. He gets in completely,

687
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: he gets in. It's probably like baby powder pink. Uh.

688
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: He sees his ticket is an aisle seat in the

689
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: third row. They sold him a ticket. I feel you,

690
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: and he sees it as a sign that all systems

691
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,479
Speaker 1: are go. This is meant to be. Oh, he's getting

692
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: up on the stage. So while he's there, like getting

693
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: to a seat, he runs into Robert Stack. Okay, chats

694
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: him up. Bub you got any mysteries as well? So

695
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: he's chatting up. Robert Stack says to him, you know what,

696
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm here to accept ANEMI tonight. Robert Stack acts like

697
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: they know each other. But and it's just trying to

698
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: be polite Barry. It's like you have no idea who

699
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: it doesn't say it. But that's like a Hollywood thing,

700
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: isn't it, Like you can just kind of they act

701
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: like you assume anybody who know it talks to you

702
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: like they know you. You're like, oh, we must know

703
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: each other, and I'm not going to like let it

704
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: on because they may hire me sometimes pretend. So Robert

705
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: Stack is acting like he knew at that point. It's

706
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: the way I'm telling you, everybody in Hollywood knows what

707
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, which is like you know. So he's he's

708
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: sitting down, there's Robert Stack. He's like keeps trying to, like,

709
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: you know, chat him up. After a while he's like, no,

710
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: I can't hear you. Sorry, shows starting. Um Billy Crystal

711
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: comes by and does recognize Barry. Wow. So he's a

712
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: big guy. He's a total sports guy and he's a

713
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: goofball and so he's you know, he's up on all this.

714
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: He recognizes him, but he doesn't give him up. He's like,

715
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: you want like that. He totally did the finger on

716
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: the side of the nose like wiggle. Yeah, he's probably

717
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: a backstage working on his impression of an old black person.

718
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: I would do face face. Don't you remember that when

719
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,960

Speaker 1: to impersonate people and appear publicly. Can't help himself. Everyone

755
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: has a good laugh, but but not really, because Barry

756
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: got arrested for this one. He was charged with attempted

757
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: grand theft and held on. Yeah, the statue went because

758
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: he's like, thank you, I'll take this on her behalf

759
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: and just you know, possession whatever. So he spends about

760
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: an hour are in jail and he but he did

761
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: learn that Hollywood takes awards very seriously. You think that

762
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: that brush with jail would be enough for Barry, but noop.

763
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: He later goes on to crash the MLB All Star

764
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: Game dressed in a New York Mets uniform. My god,

765
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 1: I would love to see him next to Doc Gooden

766
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: and Darryl Strawberry just like well, they're all railed out

767
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: who is he? They think they're like hallucinating. He runs

768
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: into the outfield during batting practice and fields some balls.

769
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: None other than Tommy lasorda former San Diego Chicken victim,

770
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: spots him and has him arrested. It's like that guy.

771
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: He was probably just angry. But see, the All Star

772
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Game was in Houston. So Barry gets taken to a

773
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: Houston jail with some really unsavory characters. He said that

774
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: the guy in the cell with him look like Charles Manson,

775
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: and so he pleads guilty to criminal trespassing with a

776
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: five fine and six months probe. And he tells the judge, look,

777
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: I've learned my lesson. I'm not going to do this anymore.

778
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: And he goes on. He lives a really low key

779
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: life after that. Yeah, he learned his lesson. Um, he

780
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: passed away in His wife had the best like summary

781
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: of his life. Um, he was devilish and possessed a

782
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: lot of fun, loving hutzpah and likes to do these

783
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: little things as a kidbits. So she's amazing and so

784
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: she's just like she supports him through all of this.

785
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: And I think though that maybe, like the arrest in Texas,

786
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: it was kind of the last draw for everybody. Barry,

787
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, tone it down. He's like this great silly

788
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: family man, fun guy. He made a ton of friends

789
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: along the way. His accomplices over the years included baseball

790
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: players George Brett, Tommy John Goose, Gossage, Ozzy Smith. Oh yes,

791
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 1: his football player buddies Dave Jennings and Brad Van Pelt.

792
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea who they are. And then legendary

793
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: golfer the Golden Bear, Jack Nicholas, Golden Bear by his

794
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: ownsome Yeah. So he makes all these friends doing his

795
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: little ridiculous crimes. His kids carried on his legacy as well.

796
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: Did they do impressions of poses people? Well, like you, Zaren.

797
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: They pulled off an imposter Cohn in New Orleans in

798
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: two thousand two. They snuck into a super Bowl party

799
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: that was thrown by Playboy, a couple a lot of

800
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: and well your past is a Playboy model talking about um.

801
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: So they go, they get in? How they get in?

802
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: His daughter, Aaron said she was Gwyneth Paltrow. He's like,

803
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: look here, here's a candle. Smell this. She's like, oh,

804
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm Gorneth Paltrow. Go ahead, Um, her brother Noah. He

805
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: also liked getting one over on Playboy. Apparently he frequently

806
00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: snuck into the Playboy estate parties and um. He also

807
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: he made his way into the two thousand one Grammys

808
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: by just wearing a tux and talking on a cell

809
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: phone as he walked in and no one stopped him.

810
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 1: I swear to God, my friend Dave and I did

811
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: exactly that. Yeah, see easiest, bye, there you go. And

812
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: so just like his dad, Noah just acted like he

813
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: knew walked in. I acted like he knew. It works

814
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: every time because most people they do not question. So

815
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: what's your ridiculous takeaway here? Um, if I'm going to

816
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: ever get on the field as a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader,

817
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: I really need to start working on my outfit now.

818
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: Do the training starts now? Yeah? I mean there's just

819
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: there's just no way I'm gonna be able to get

820
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: all the way out in the field unless you know,

821
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: I can just get this stuff tight and I can

822
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: get some leggings and some good touch game good. I

823
