Speaker 1: It's a brand new feature on. One more thing. It's
Speaker 1: one more thing. I'm strong and Getty. One more thing
Speaker 1: before we get to the new feature. Michaelangelo, you had
Speaker 1: a big birthday over the weekend. Yeah, I turned fifty.
Speaker 1: Nice celebration, how to go.
Speaker 2: I tried to keep it low key, just to go,
Speaker 2: went out to dinner, got some gifts, family friends, you know,
Speaker 2: just low key, nothing exciting.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big partier. Yeah, we know that about you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was thinking I was going to do something like
Speaker 1: huge for my sixtieth and didn't. It was fun, it
Speaker 1: was great. The kids were in town, so we just
Speaker 1: kind of celebrated as a family and it was fine.
Speaker 1: I was thinking of like hiring one of my favorite
Speaker 1: bands and having them do a private show. I had
Speaker 1: visions of grandeur, but then it's not not aale with
Speaker 1: it sounds like a lot of work. Yeah, Loki's the best.
Speaker 1: I think. I did have a heck of a wing
Speaker 1: ding for my four That was fun.
Speaker 2: I remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, winging. Oh it was. It was like a barbecued
Speaker 1: catering and a cag and uh, the dead flowers were
Speaker 1: active at that point, so I think we may have
Speaker 1: played a little bit, just with acoustic guitars and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, and other people strummed and and my dog
Speaker 1: got drunk, and uh it was it was a good party. Really,
Speaker 1: How did how did the dog get drunk? Well, in
Speaker 1: the I think it was the next morning, the keg
Speaker 1: was still out there in the garbage can, like with
Speaker 1: melted ice, and like all of the beer and foam
Speaker 1: that had spilled over, So the water was probably mildly alcoholic.
Speaker 1: And this was Onyx are our old black lab and
Speaker 1: he was unmistakably intoxicated, which is not good for dogs.
Speaker 1: Their livers are not made to take an alcohol. It's
Speaker 1: a terrible idea. Don't feed alcohol to your dog. So
Speaker 1: we were really concerned about it, but called the vet.
Speaker 1: The vet said, how much did he drink? I'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye and I'm gonna let us know if anything
Speaker 1: crazy happens. It was fine.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Onyx is just chilling and just really wishes he
Speaker 3: had a cigarette.
Speaker 2: You know, I was wondering was he an angry drunk or.
Speaker 1: No, he was a laying around in the sunshine drunk,
Speaker 1: which was what he was sober as well, So you know,
Speaker 1: and somebody gets drunk, their real character comes out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he wanted to lay in the sunshine. He's a big
Speaker 1: black dog, was a big pup dog. God rest his
Speaker 1: doggy soul. But anyway, so happy belated birthday, Michael. Although
Speaker 1: we wished you happy birthday at the time.
Speaker 2: Hope, yeah, no, I appreciated wishes.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Of course, a bunch of love filled messages telling him
Speaker 3: you had one foot in the grave.
Speaker 1: Yep, skulls and crossbones, that sort of thing, the traditional
Speaker 1: I got a lot of those. Yes, Well, we laugh
Speaker 1: about the things we fear as human beings. It's it's
Speaker 1: part of being a human being. Anyway. So here's the
Speaker 1: new feature, and of course it has to have a
Speaker 1: theme song. So I've been working on it. I've been
Speaker 1: working on this for hours. What is we didn't get
Speaker 1: to today? Stories we didn't get to today? What do
Speaker 1: you think? Katie's look says it all abject horror. I
Speaker 1: don't like to light to you. Joel Plate thirty three. Michael,
Speaker 1: this is not good. This just should not happen.
Speaker 4: Owen Ray was on spring break with a friend in Copenhagen, Denmark,
Speaker 4: and the attorney tells us the two were heading back
Speaker 4: to their hotel. The night of March thirtieth, had a
Speaker 4: dispute with their ride share driver. The pair that exited
Speaker 4: the vehicle. The driver subsequently got out as well and
Speaker 4: kicked Owen. Owen then pushed back and the driver fell.
Speaker 4: Owen and his friend ran away and then went to
Speaker 4: the airport for their separate flights home the next day.
Speaker 4: That's when authorities prevented them from boarding their flights, deeming
Speaker 4: them to be a flight risk. The attorney says, the
Speaker 4: pair has been in custody since that time.
Speaker 1: You know, I would have to say to the authorities,
Speaker 1: I'm about to walk on an airliner and you're calling
Speaker 1: me a flight risk. You get how funny that is?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you understand how funny? How Why are
Speaker 1: you hitting me? Those cuffs are tight? Oh I'm a
Speaker 1: guaranteed flight risk. I'm literally getting ready. Oh you get it.
Speaker 1: I get okay, stop hitting me. So that reminds me
Speaker 1: of ages ago. So back when Jack drank Katie, we
Speaker 1: would occasionally like go out on the town, particularly if
Speaker 1: we were we would go to our affiliate in San
Speaker 1: Francisco at the time a fair amount and do meetings
Speaker 1: and broadcasts from there and meet clients and that sort
Speaker 1: of thing like at the beginning, once a week overnight. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'd be there for a couple of days, and then
Speaker 1: it was less and less, But so we would often
Speaker 1: we were young and wrong and hardy at that point,
Speaker 1: but we would often go out and get our drink
Speaker 1: on and I would I would always bow out, you know,
Speaker 1: like it was already two hours later than I should
Speaker 1: have stopped, but I'd be like I going back.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Hell, Jack would plunge on through the night. I mean,
Speaker 1: that doesn't shook me at all. He would barely sleep
Speaker 1: at all, and it would have killed me. I just
Speaker 1: don't have the constitution for it. But so the one
Speaker 1: time we parted company and he just continued on doing
Speaker 1: whatever he did, and he got a cab ride home
Speaker 1: from this. You know what, stealing somebody else's story is terrible,
Speaker 1: it's plagiarism. But he had a cabby and the ride
Speaker 1: share thing reminded me of it, who had some sort
Speaker 1: of accent. And Jack said, so where are you from?
Speaker 1: And Cabby said, you know whatever, here San Francisco. He said, no, no,
Speaker 1: where are you from originally? And he's like, I've lived
Speaker 1: in San Francio. No, your family where they're from, and
Speaker 1: this guy took a fence to it and he started yelling,
Speaker 1: what do you want me to do? Dig up my
Speaker 1: parents and show you their bones?
Speaker 4: You want.
Speaker 1: My own family? Insucked my family and he went crazy
Speaker 1: and Jack thought he was gonna have to fight him,
Speaker 1: and the guy just heaved him out of the cab,
Speaker 1: said get out of my cab s get him somewhere
Speaker 1: in the middle of San Francisco to make his way
Speaker 1: home again.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to dig up my parents' bones bones? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I howl in that at you. They're pissed off. Throws
Speaker 1: you out of the cap.
Speaker 3: The amount of money I would pay to go back
Speaker 3: in time and have one of those nights out with
Speaker 3: both of you.
Speaker 1: Guys, Oh yeah, man, Yeah, well you could. You could
Speaker 1: probably get some fairly accurate accounts of it from Jamie Coffee,
Speaker 1: who was our news person at the time, who would
Speaker 1: go with us on these tracks, believe it or not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was budget for three people's hotel rooms. No way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. Well I think it was trade like you
Speaker 1: know other in exchange for advertising, but it was almost
Speaker 1: always at the Fabulous Handlery Hotel. Ye shout out to
Speaker 1: John Handlery and the crew always nice right off of
Speaker 1: Union Square, beautiful hotel and just lovely anyway, good times.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we would all go out and Scott our producer, Scotty,
Speaker 1: shout out to you too, my friend. It was just
Speaker 1: it was crazy, stupid, unnecessary, excessive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this industry kind of creates that sometimes though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we would we at least once we're all
Speaker 1: out together, and and somebody decided it was a good
Speaker 1: idea as we walked along the pavement to stop in
Speaker 1: one of the well sex shops in San Francisco that
Speaker 1: had various toys and elements and accessories for you to
Speaker 1: enjoy intimacy's with the partner of your choice, and just
Speaker 1: walked around, giggling, looking at all the devices and and
Speaker 1: talking about them and suggesting what could be done with them.
Speaker 1: Which again it's it's three dudes and a woman. Although Jamie,
Speaker 1: God bless her, Katie, you would get along with great
Speaker 1: because she is no shrinking violet. Okay, I mean, if
Speaker 1: something truly offensive were said in that setting, it was Jamie.
Speaker 3: Saying, yes, okay, well she sounds like my spirit animal.
Speaker 1: Then yeah, yeah, yeah, you're you're a sister from another
Speaker 1: mister or something. Yeah, what Oh I love Jamie anyway?
Speaker 1: Uh dur where was I?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was just it was one of those nights.
Speaker 1: Got a great song out of one of those nights,
Speaker 1: post street Blues. Look it up on Apple Music or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your music.
Speaker 3: Okay, just.
Speaker 1: So hammered.
Speaker 3: Is there another track called do You Want Me to
Speaker 3: Dig Up My Parents' Bones?
Speaker 1: It's an instrumental? Yeah, okay, all right, back to stories.
Speaker 1: We didn't get to this thirty four. I think it's
Speaker 1: self explanatatious, Michael, if you'd play that for us.
Speaker 5: Several groups supporting crime victims are how speaking out against
Speaker 5: resentencing for Lyle and Eric Menendez.
Speaker 1: A judge in Los Angeles ruled.
Speaker 5: Friday that process should move forward, which could ultimately lead to.
Speaker 1: Their release from prison.
Speaker 5: The Menendez family says the brother's aunt, Terry Berralt, is
Speaker 5: hospitalized in critical condition. They say she became upset when
Speaker 5: the DA showed an image of Jose Menendez's lifeless body
Speaker 5: during a hearing last week.
Speaker 1: All right, see, you got the whole Menendez brothers thing
Speaker 1: and all here's the headline. I did not see coming.
Speaker 1: Rosi O'Donnell says convicted killer Lyle Menendez is the first
Speaker 1: straight man she could love and trust.
Speaker 3: Oh good, good, very good. I'm sure she's thrilled about
Speaker 3: that headline.
Speaker 1: Roso Donald, who I believe lives in Ireland now because
Speaker 1: Trump got elected, has said that Lyle Menendez is the
Speaker 1: first straight man she could love or trust. They've been
Speaker 1: longtime friends. While he remained behind bars, he started calling
Speaker 1: me on a regular basis from the tablet phone thing
Speaker 1: they have. He would tell me about his life, what
Speaker 1: he's been doing in prison, and for the first time
Speaker 1: in my life, I felt safe enough to trust and
Speaker 1: be vulnerable and love a straight man.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't there's even words for that.
Speaker 1: What I know? What is she trying? He's just everything?
Speaker 3: Is she trying everything she can to be a headline
Speaker 3: or relevant or something?
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is bizarre. Yeah, I think she broke.
Speaker 1: She's had a psychic break because the real estate developer
Speaker 1: with whom she had a long and bitter feud is
Speaker 1: now the most powerful man in the world, and she
Speaker 1: just couldn't take it anymore. She's the female on you now. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a great deal more to the story.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll hit it on the on the Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty Show, the radio show tomorrow. But Rosie, get help, Darling.
Speaker 1: Do they have help in Ireland? I think they probably
Speaker 1: have a pretty good health plan. Get help. You're crazy,
Speaker 1: cuckoout well.
Speaker 2: I guess that's it.
