- 0:29Speaker 5: Okay, all right, Carrie, Bill and China. It's Daniel Davis here,
- 0:36Speaker 5: Professor Moriarty from Star Trek Next Generation. I've had a
- 0:40Speaker 5: request on cameo from Mike in Nashville, who tells me
- 0:44Speaker 5: that he is a frequent caller to your show and
- 0:47Speaker 5: that you are about to celebrate Radio from Hell's fortieth
- 0:52Speaker 5: anniversary on the air. Anything that can stay on the
- 0:56Speaker 5: air for forty years has my respect. Congratulations, continued, good
- 1:02Speaker 5: work to you all. I'm told that Carrie is a
- 1:05Speaker 5: particular fan of Star Trek Next Generation, so Mike and
- 1:09Speaker 5: Nashville thought you might enjoy having a little greeting from
- 1:13Speaker 5: yours truly. So here I am to say, once again,

- 1:27Speaker 4: I looked it up.
- 1:28Speaker 2: He is eighty eighty years old years old.
- 1:30Speaker 4: So that was nice, Mike, thank you.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Thank you. I'd be curious. I know it's rude, but
- 1:36Speaker 3: how much does something like that cost? I guess I
- 1:38Speaker 3: could look it up. Now.
- 1:39Speaker 4: If somebody gives you a gift bill, you don't look
- 1:41Speaker 4: and see.
- 1:42Speaker 3: I always ask. I unwrapped the present and I go,
- 1:46Speaker 3: this is really nice. How much was it? I always
- 1:49Speaker 3: do that. You're not supposed to do that. No, that
- 1:53Speaker 3: was very nice. That was I can't I can't picture
- 1:57Speaker 3: the character though, Coriarty, Yeah, why I know?
- 2:01Speaker 1: Uh, guy points out, I don't know where he gets
- 2:04Speaker 1: that voice from. He was born in Arkansas and grew
- 2:07Speaker 1: up in a little rock.
- 2:10Speaker 4: He has developed gravy toss.
- 2:13Speaker 3: The theater and some guy knows everything. Yes. He also
- 2:18Speaker 3: texted me and said the play Fish and Chips place.
- 2:21Speaker 3: You're thinking of his summer as fish and Chips, and yes,
- 2:23Speaker 3: it's still there. And then he texted me a menu.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Uh so it's what so remind me of is that
- 2:35Speaker 3: I don't remember he's he's He sent us a picture
- 2:38Speaker 3: of Moriarty, and I just I'm not clicking with that.
- 2:42Speaker 3: I don't remember episode. I watched a lot of the
- 2:45Speaker 3: Next Generation. I just don't don't remember the character. Was it?
- 2:50Speaker 3: Oh they go they get into the way back Yeah.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Way back machines?
- 2:55Speaker 1: Is it like from as you see data? Was you know,
- 3:03Speaker 1: role playing as Sherlock Holmes there?
- 3:05Speaker 4: Oh?
- 3:05Speaker 3: Now, okay yea.
- 3:06Speaker 1: And he always hated that because he he memorized all
- 3:11Speaker 1: of the books and so he could never have any
- 3:15Speaker 1: adventure really.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Because he already knew what was happening.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:17Speaker 1: So then he tells the Holiday Computer give me an
- 3:22Speaker 1: original Sherlock Holmes story that I can't solve, and somehow
- 3:27Speaker 1: that winds up with Moriarty being able to walk out
- 3:29Speaker 1: of the Holiday.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Oh and so here's another thing he was also he
- 3:34Speaker 3: played Niles in in the Nanny Yes with with what's
- 3:38Speaker 3: her name? There? He is. Yeah, well, very very nice
- 3:44Speaker 3: of Mike to do that.
- 3:46Speaker 4: Mike's feeling guilty because he's a bigger Dave Matthews band
- 3:51Speaker 4: fan than Radio from Hell fan.
- 3:53Speaker 3: And so he's because he would be here apparently if
- 3:57Speaker 3: he if he weren't going already committed to going to
- 4:00Speaker 3: to his eightieth.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Yeah, how many times do we have a fortieth birthday party? Mike?
- 4:06Speaker 4: This is not gonna happen again. Dave Matthew's concerts, those
- 4:10Speaker 4: will continue to go on.
- 4:12Speaker 3: I wonder what it'd be interesting to know, Mike. Let
- 4:16Speaker 3: us know what names did you run through before you
- 4:21Speaker 3: settled on this guy.
- 4:23Speaker 4: I'm sure he wanted a cameo from a Star Trek.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Well, i'd be interested to know what names he went through,
- 4:30Speaker 3: if he found any others and then settled on this one,
- 4:33Speaker 3: or what the process was.
- 4:35Speaker 4: So let me see. If you go to cameo and
- 4:36Speaker 4: you search for star Trek, let's see what's available.
- 4:43Speaker 3: About Walter Cannig's available.
- 4:45Speaker 4: You can get Brent Spiner for three hundred bucks, okay,
- 4:51Speaker 4: you're good friend. Jonathan Frank's bill, he's three hundred okay.

- 5:02Speaker 4: Let's see Nana Visitor, she's only one hundred dollars.

- 5:09Speaker 4: One of them?
- 5:10Speaker 2: Uh?
- 5:10Speaker 3: Who else here? Yeah? So I wonder why he settled
- 5:13Speaker 3: on what's this guy's name? Again?
- 5:15Speaker 2: Daniel was.
- 5:20Speaker 3: Hmm, that'd be. I'd just be I'm interested in maybe
- 5:27Speaker 3: he was cheaper than Nana visitor Daniel David Daniel David
- 5:31Speaker 3: Daniel David.
- 5:34Speaker 1: H excuse me, it was Jordie LaForge that requested the
- 5:39Speaker 1: character could not.

- 5:44Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right.

- 5:54Speaker 2: The cheapest Star Trek person for cameo.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Well, don't you think that's rude because if it turns
- 5:59Speaker 3: out to be, this guy is going to be embarrassed.
