- 0:03Speaker 1: Guess whose birthday.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Shirley Temple would be one hundred and twenty.
- 0:10Speaker 1: A mere ninety eight. She had a long life. She
- 0:13Speaker 1: was born this date, nineteen twenty eight. Good Ship Lollipop
- 0:16Speaker 1: is from the film Bright Eyes nineteen thirty four. I've
- 0:22Speaker 1: you know how big a star this this girl? She
- 0:25Speaker 1: was six film in that movie? She was a massive,
- 0:30Speaker 1: massive star. Was she was that the America?
- 0:33Speaker 2: Was that the movie where she did the big tap
- 0:35Speaker 2: dance up and down the steps? Because I was thinking
- 0:39Speaker 2: that probably wouldn't be allowed to be played these days.
- 0:42Speaker 1: No, there'd be a lot of things, Oh.
- 0:44Speaker 2: I mean, because it's got a song of the South
- 0:47Speaker 2: kind of vibe to it.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Well, Judy Garland, there's the footage of young Judy Garland
- 0:53Speaker 1: in like actual blackface because some minstrel show decided that
- 0:58Speaker 1: would be a good idea. So yeah, there's all kinds
- 1:00Speaker 1: of imagery that they don't exactly do anymore. And of
- 1:02Speaker 1: course Shirley Temple went on to become Shirley Temple Black
- 1:05Speaker 1: and she was ambassador to Ghana. I think another kind.
- 1:09Speaker 1: She was a big big deal politically, so.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Like and an abuse and like a not abusive mother,
- 1:16Speaker 2: but one of those typical stage moms. I think that
- 1:18Speaker 2: really pushed her and pushed her and pushed her. Judy
- 1:20Speaker 2: Garland I think had the same kind of situation. They
- 1:22Speaker 2: were feeding her weight loss pills and making her smoke
- 1:26Speaker 2: and stuff to lose what it.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Was before that. Because today's child say, are is there
- 1:31Speaker 1: a child star that comes to mind that managed to
- 1:35Speaker 1: not be screwed up or managed to I mean, I
- 1:39Speaker 1: don't know it was. And listen, because there's so much
- 1:41Speaker 1: money and so much attention, it's the most unhealthy thing
- 1:45Speaker 1: you can do for somebody who's six or ten or
- 1:46Speaker 1: twelve or fourteen.
- 1:48Speaker 2: So that that whole, that whole acting world is such
- 1:51Speaker 2: a different world. You know. I'm off to tomorrow. I'm
- 1:54Speaker 2: going to take a long weekend to a city that
- 1:56Speaker 2: I really like. And I'm an unlikely Vegas fan because
- 2:00Speaker 2: I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't really gamble.
- 2:03Speaker 2: I mean, I'll play a little bit of the slot
- 2:04Speaker 2: machine and restaurant upon restaurant and hotels. And I was
- 2:10Speaker 2: going with a friend of some friends of mine and
- 2:13Speaker 2: two of them are actors, husband and wife, and he
- 2:17Speaker 2: just caught it, and so he calls me late last
- 2:18Speaker 2: night and says, oh no, and we got all the
- 2:20Speaker 2: tickets lined up for Vegas. He's getting called in to
- 2:24Speaker 2: read for a role in a Netflix series, which would
- 2:29Speaker 2: be a big gig for him. Sure, his wife is
- 2:32Speaker 2: working right now, and she's a big star. He's pretty
- 2:36Speaker 2: big in New York. But he's not working right now.
- 2:37Speaker 2: It gets called in, he says, you're not going to
- 2:39Speaker 2: believe this. They I think I'm they're calling me in
- 2:42Speaker 2: for somebody else. But it's a big, big part. They're
- 2:45Speaker 2: calling me in today at eleven am. I'm supposed to
- 2:48Speaker 2: get on the plane at two to go to Vegas
- 2:50Speaker 2: with you. And he said, I if I if I
- 2:53Speaker 2: get the gig. I got to start shooting tomorrow. And
- 2:56Speaker 2: I thought, oh crap.
- 2:57Speaker 1: So now I'm close to the bone. Isn't that how works?
- 3:01Speaker 1: Is you get the parties like be here tomorrow at lunchtime?
- 3:04Speaker 1: It is? He said that.
- 3:06Speaker 2: He said, it's kind of unusual, but he said, and
- 3:08Speaker 2: it's Netflix, which is a big employer now for a
- 3:11Speaker 2: lot of these actors, So good good for.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Hey, can I go back to something for sixty seconds? Don't?
- 3:16Speaker 1: What are you gonna do?
- 3:17Speaker 2: So?
- 3:17Speaker 1: What do you have tickets for this?
- 3:19Speaker 2: I just I'm gonna do some some Uh. Well, a
- 3:23Speaker 2: good friend of mine, his daughter is a headliner at
- 3:27Speaker 2: the Westgate Resort. Her name is Jen Kramer. I've had
- 3:31Speaker 2: her on the show before it. She does the magic
- 3:33Speaker 2: of Jen Kramer, and I've known the Kramer family for years. Uh,
- 3:37Speaker 2: and just love these folks. She does a family friendly
- 3:41Speaker 2: magic show. And and tomorrow night is there one thousandth
- 3:45Speaker 2: performance at the west Gate. By the way, the Westgate
- 3:48Speaker 2: fun fact. A lot of people will know this. That
- 3:51Speaker 2: was where Elvis had his residency.
- 3:54Speaker 1: And it called something else in then seven I don't
- 3:57Speaker 1: think so.
- 3:57Speaker 2: I think it was called the Westgate. Barry Madelow still
- 4:00Speaker 2: there at the he does a residency there. But Jen's
- 4:03Speaker 2: got a magic show, and so Larry and and and
- 4:06Speaker 2: and his Wendy and his wonderful wife. I've known the
- 4:08Speaker 2: Again family for years.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Magic. I love it. So how long are you there for?
- 4:15Speaker 1: How many days?
- 4:16Speaker 2: Just for the week. I'm just gonna I'm leaving today
- 4:18Speaker 2: and I'll be there through Sunday.
- 4:20Speaker 1: You're gonna hear a big magic fan. If there's anything
- 4:22Speaker 1: that Lisa and I would do, uh if we were
- 4:24Speaker 1: to go out there, because I think I've put the man.
- 4:27Speaker 1: We've we've spent some time at the crab tables, Man
- 4:30Speaker 1: and rule. We did all of it. We really we
- 4:33Speaker 1: won a lot, we lost a lot. Are you a degenerate?
- 4:36Speaker 2: Are you a degenerate gambler? No?
- 4:38Speaker 1: With all the positions I've been taken lately, not just
- 4:40Speaker 1: about keeping casinos out of Texas, but just these these
- 4:43Speaker 1: these evil apps on these phones and the gambling addictions,
- 4:47Speaker 1: I know I think I'm done. It's not that I'm
- 4:49Speaker 1: not that there's nothing in the Bible that says don't gamble,
- 4:52Speaker 1: but I'm never the best steward of my money or
- 4:55Speaker 1: my family's fortunes. I don't mean fortunes fortunes, but I
- 4:58Speaker 1: just mean family's resource. If I'm doing that, and we
- 5:03Speaker 1: probably are ahead of the game by a couple of
- 5:06Speaker 1: bucks over time, which means we've done way better than
- 5:08Speaker 1: most people. But I would still go to Vegas for
- 5:10Speaker 1: shows and food and to see somebody at the Sphere, which.
- 5:14Speaker 2: If you've done a show at the Sphere, well that's
- 5:16Speaker 2: one of the trips we're doing.
- 5:17Speaker 1: We're going to do.
- 5:18Speaker 2: We're going to see the Wizard of Oz because they've
- 5:22Speaker 2: remastered the Wizard of Oz and they play the nineteen
- 5:26Speaker 2: thirty nine classic in the Sphere with special effects including
- 5:31Speaker 2: wind that apparently blows on you when the tornado hits.
- 5:34Speaker 2: It's so I mean, and people say it's a magnificent experience.
- 5:37Speaker 1: So we're going to do this, Well, we're going to
- 5:39Speaker 1: see the eagles at the sphere and other people at
- 5:41Speaker 1: the Sphere, and I guess I got to do that.
- 5:43Speaker 1: At some I feel like my head would explode overload.
- 5:46Speaker 1: But if you're there, but we're so fascinated by magic.
- 5:49Speaker 1: There's a guy who won America's Got Talent named Matt Franco.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Another guy who was on AGT, a ry British guy
- 5:55Speaker 1: who wears a dragon outfit called Piff the Magic Dragon.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Funny as all get out, but also an appreciable magician.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Penn and Teller still knocking it out. Oh way. So
- 6:06Speaker 1: if we were to go out, probably do Waldwall magic shows.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Now. Somebody just texted from Dallas at Elvis was at
- 6:11Speaker 2: the International in Vegas. That was his residency. But I
- 6:15Speaker 2: was I understood that he had a history there at
- 6:17Speaker 2: the West Gate. Maybe it would used to be called
- 6:19Speaker 2: maybe it was called the International. You know who owned
- 6:22Speaker 2: the Westgate? I think is the guy that they memorialized
- 6:26Speaker 2: in that movie The Queen of Versailles, the wife that
- 6:31Speaker 2: built the huge house, the mansion here in Florida. That
- 6:35Speaker 2: was like the biggest person and real colorful guy.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I think.
- 6:38Speaker 2: And he I think he's he died, She's still alive,
- 6:41Speaker 2: I think. But anyway, and I love the vibe and anything. Well,
- 6:47Speaker 2: let's let's go back to the Let's go back to
- 6:50Speaker 2: the story about a couple couple of stories about vices,
- 6:53Speaker 2: because here's a story that's right up your alley and
- 6:56Speaker 2: you probably haven't even Ronda celebrating her twelfth anniverse with
- 6:59Speaker 2: you today. And by the way, who, how do you
- 7:02Speaker 2: know that? How do I can't even keep anybody's birthday straight?
- 7:07Speaker 2: Do you like have a running calendar? Because you do
- 7:09Speaker 2: this all the time. This is the ninth month and
- 7:12Speaker 2: three third day that I've been on six sixty am.
- 7:15Speaker 2: The answer, This is Ronda's twelfth And how the hell
- 7:18Speaker 2: do you know all that?
- 7:19Speaker 1: There's this crazy thing called the calendar on your computer?
- 7:23Speaker 1: And if they're if there are things that are important
- 7:26Speaker 1: like her, well obviously I don't need it for like
- 7:28Speaker 1: Lisa's birthday in November, our anniversary in September. Randa's birthday
- 7:33Speaker 1: is in October, her service anniversary is in April, and
- 7:37Speaker 1: so you just kind of stick that in there and
- 7:38Speaker 1: bloop and then how did you when? So when she started,
- 7:43Speaker 1: you're telling me twelve years ago. First of all, that
- 7:45Speaker 1: didn't even make any sense. You're I think you're making
- 7:48Speaker 1: all this crap up. Okay, here you're telling me twelve
- 7:50Speaker 1: you're telling me twelve years ago. You had an iPhone
- 7:54Speaker 1: and you put on your calendar on your iPhone. Ronda
- 7:57Speaker 1: begins today, So that twelve years later, twenty twenty six
- 8:00Speaker 1: probably not. Here's what I Here's what I would think.
- 8:04Speaker 1: This sounds like, no, no, no, here's what I think.
- 8:06Speaker 1: So if she starts on April twenty second, of April
- 8:09Speaker 1: twenty third of twenty fourteen, I'm guessing on April twenty
- 8:13Speaker 1: third of twenty fifteen, you came in looking at it,
- 8:16Speaker 1: You came in and said, it's been a great one
- 8:18Speaker 1: year anniversary. Drew some attention to that, not like hey,
- 8:21Speaker 1: dig me, it's my one year anniversary, just in a spirit.
- 8:24Speaker 1: So then you put that on your calendar, and then
- 8:26Speaker 1: I went, you know what, I'm never I'm not gonna
- 8:28Speaker 1: let this go by again.
- 8:29Speaker 2: So well, I'm trying to do better at birthdays. That's
- 8:32Speaker 2: my big thing. I'm just not I've never been a
- 8:34Speaker 2: big birthday guy. Didn't care about mine. A couple of
- 8:36Speaker 2: weeks ago. I don't remember anybody's birthdays. But I'm trying
- 8:39Speaker 2: to use that calendar app more and more, and maybe
- 8:43Speaker 2: maybe by next year I'll remember my kids' birthdays. All right, now,
- 8:45Speaker 2: let's get that would be good progress, because they get
- 8:48Speaker 2: a little cranky. They get a little cranky when dad
- 8:50Speaker 2: forgets to send them money. All right, let me how
- 8:53Speaker 2: about this headline that's sure to get you ruin your day?
- 8:56Speaker 2: President Trump? Moments ago, just to now on some breaking news,
- 9:00Speaker 2: the administration is reclassifying state licensed marijuana as a quote
- 9:05Speaker 2: less dangerous drug. The Attorney General, the acting Attorney General,
- 9:09Speaker 2: just announced it. Moments ago, Todd Blanche signed an order
- 9:12Speaker 2: reclassifying marijuana from Schedule one, which was reserved for drugs
- 9:17Speaker 2: like heroin, to the less strict Schedule three. Blanch said
- 9:21Speaker 2: the move is delivering on President Trump's promise to expand Americans'
- 9:25Speaker 2: access to medical treatment options. What say you, Mark Davis.
- 9:30Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with it. Wow, didn't expect that legalization
- 9:36Speaker 1: of weed recreationally is the stupidest thing any state could do.
- 9:39Speaker 1: It is horrible, It's poison, it's bad more intoxicants. Being
- 9:44Speaker 1: legal is a terrible, terrible thing. And yet weed ain't heroin.
- 9:49Speaker 1: So having some gradation of what these things are. I mean,
- 9:53Speaker 1: nineteen thirty nine refer madness. People smoked a joint and
- 9:56Speaker 1: jumped off a building, and a more reasonable film would
- 10:00Speaker 1: have shown him smoking a joint and eating a bag
- 10:02Speaker 1: of oreos. So it's not good legal recreational legal right.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Marijuana is not heroin exactly. So there's some sanity there,
- 10:12Speaker 1: there's some context, some nuanced promise.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Waitnute, I gotta stay on the I gotta stay on
- 10:19Speaker 2: the vice story because I got a.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Big record story. The last thing about the pot is
- 10:23Speaker 1: it probably gets a couple of votes in the midterms,
- 10:26Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
- 10:27Speaker 2: And that's not a bad thing, especially with young people
- 10:30Speaker 2: and independence. You know, he brought Joe Rogan to the
- 10:33Speaker 2: White House the other day. Apparently they're going he wants
- 10:34Speaker 2: to legalize shrowds like agelic Well, which helps people in pain.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Former Governor Rick Perry invited me to a clinic eleven
- 10:45Speaker 1: or so years ago he had just stopped being governor,
- 10:48Speaker 1: and he said, I just wanted to meet some people.
- 10:50Speaker 1: I want you to see something. I met veterans, people
- 10:52Speaker 1: with addiction issues, and that this. I don't know if
- 10:55Speaker 1: that was Eyebo gain or some other thing, but these
- 10:57Speaker 1: revolutionary treatments. It's psychedelics bought line. Is the same chemistry
- 11:02Speaker 1: that can make the ceiling drip of colors while you
- 11:03Speaker 1: listen to Jimmy Hendrick's album can also cure you, cure
- 11:07Speaker 1: you of PTSD and some addictions. And it makes me
- 11:11Speaker 1: think about the counseling industry, makes me think about big pharma.
- 11:15Speaker 1: How are they gonna feel if there's something that you
- 11:18Speaker 1: can do that does not require you to be tied
- 11:20Speaker 1: to a counselor or taken pharmaceuticals for the rest of
- 11:24Speaker 1: your natural life. I support one hundred percent more inquiries
- 11:28Speaker 1: into that me too.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Also some breaking news out of Capitol Hill. The Senate
- 11:32Speaker 2: did advance and approve the funding plan for ICE and
- 11:37Speaker 2: Border patrol agents. Sorry Democrats, the Senate advances the DHS ICE.
- 11:42Speaker 2: They used reconciliation. Zero support from Democrats. More winning and
- 11:48Speaker 2: as you saw yesterday, Circuit Court said the Virginia election
- 11:52Speaker 2: don't count. It doesn't count.
- 11:55Speaker 1: This is one one. This is one court down in
- 11:57Speaker 1: Taswell As. It looks like Tazewell, but it's Taswell County, Virginia.
- 12:00Speaker 1: It'll go to the Virginia Supreme Court. I just don't know.
- 12:03Speaker 1: The state has had some concerns about it.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Come on, be optimistic. Virginia Supreme Court is going to
- 12:09Speaker 2: do the right thing.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Because it looks like they broke some rules and cut
- 12:13Speaker 1: some courtners in how they brought.
- 12:14Speaker 2: This youth youth? Did you read the ballot? Did you
- 12:18Speaker 2: read what was on the ball in order to make
- 12:20Speaker 2: elections more fair? Well, who's going to go into the
- 12:22Speaker 2: ballot box and say, well, I don't want to make
- 12:24Speaker 2: elections less fair?
- 12:25Speaker 1: Anti.
- 12:26Speaker 2: The whole thing is a sham. Trump was right. It
- 12:30Speaker 2: is rigged, absolutely rigged, one hundred percent. Be optimistic. We
- 12:34Speaker 2: got good things coming, good things are happening. And look
- 12:37Speaker 2: at all the Vegas experts in North Texas. So here
- 12:41Speaker 2: it is. I got the definitive word. The International where
- 12:45Speaker 2: Elvis was a headliner, became the Las Vegas headline a Hilton,
- 12:49Speaker 2: and then it became the Westgate.
- 12:51Speaker 1: So I was right. Seat I will there you go
- 12:55Speaker 1: taking care of business this weekend.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I'll be there by myself because nobody's coming with me. Now,
- 13:00Speaker 2: anybody want to go to Vegas?
- 13:02Speaker 1: You wandering around a casino with the diet Coke three
- 13:05Speaker 1: with my.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Diet coke looking and playing Wheel of Fortune. If I
- 13:09Speaker 2: was lie, if it's a Wheel of Fortune game, I'm in.
- 13:12Speaker 2: And also we're gonna oh, by the way, and I'm
- 13:14Speaker 2: going to see a kind of an R rated kind
- 13:16Speaker 2: of a PG. Thirteen. I've seen it once before. It's
- 13:18Speaker 2: very funny, a show at the Caesars Palace called Absinthe
- 13:22Speaker 2: and it's this real weird, raunchy kind of acrobatic last
- 13:26Speaker 2: time I went with so I won't even tell you
- 13:28Speaker 2: how I was embarrassed. So if I'm sitting there by
- 13:30Speaker 2: myself like a goober, he's sure to pick on me
- 13:33Speaker 2: because I'm in the second row. So God help me,
- 13:36Speaker 2: of course you are. There'll be stories. See you Monday.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Have a gree very good. I'd believe I just reason
- 13:41Speaker 2: to watch the M and M experience on Monday. Have safe, safe,
- 13:44Speaker 2: safe travels.

- 13:50Speaker 1: Mike Show Today starts at ten as soon as we're
