Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Music Festival in Las Vegas in September, 9 a.m. this morning,
- 0:03Speaker 1: your next chance to win your trip to Vegas, tickets
- 0:06Speaker 1: to both nights of the show, even the sold-out night,
- 0:09Speaker 1: and $ 1, 000 to spend. So we'll do that at 9 a.m.
- 0:11Speaker 1: this morning. So I saw this story and it made
- 0:14Speaker 1: me laugh because obviously as a parent, sometimes you got
- 0:16Speaker 1: to take your kids places. You got two of them.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Yes.
- 0:19Speaker 1: So sometimes they just got to go do what mommy
- 0:21Speaker 1: got to do.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:22Speaker 1: That's the way it works. But in this case, this
- 0:24Speaker 1: guy probably didn't have to do this. He chose to
- 0:27Speaker 1: do it. And if he couldn't find a sitter, maybe
- 0:30Speaker 1: he should have just picked a different weekend.
- 0:31Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 0:32Speaker 1: So this dude, he's 48 years old. And he decided
- 0:35Speaker 1: he wanted to climb Mount Fuji in Japan.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Which is massive.
- 0:40Speaker 1: It's a pretty big mountain. It's not like, you know,
- 0:42Speaker 1: Mount Dora.
- 0:43Speaker 2: No.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Or Space Mountain. This is Mount Fuji in Japan. So
- 0:49Speaker 1: he had to take his two kids with him because
- 0:50Speaker 1: I'm guessing he couldn't find a sitter. So he took
- 0:52Speaker 1: his seven-year-old and his 13-year-old son with him. So they're
- 0:57Speaker 1: on their way up. They start climbing. They get to
- 1:00Speaker 1: the sixth station. That's about 8000 feet above sea level because.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Their station is very impressive.
- 1:06Speaker 1: On these mountains where you can stop. So they get
- 1:08Speaker 1: to the sixth station and not surprising, the seven year
- 1:12Speaker 1: old decides he's tired. Like, I don't want to go
- 1:15Speaker 1: no further. Like, this is ridiculous. Can we stop? But
- 1:19Speaker 1: the dad wanted to finish climbing the mountain. So the
- 1:22Speaker 1: dad said, well, you stay right here. And he finished
- 1:25Speaker 1: climbing the mountain with the older kid.
- 1:27Speaker 4: I wonder how long that was. Does it say how
- 1:30Speaker 4: long he was sitting there?
- 1:31Speaker 1: Back to the top and back down to the sixth station?
- 1:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Seven and a half hours. That's how long it takes.
- 1:37Speaker 1: That's how long it takes. And he didn't even leave
- 1:40Speaker 1: the older kid with the younger kid and say, watch
- 1:42Speaker 1: your brother.
- 1:43Speaker 4: So I bet you this was like a mission that
- 1:45Speaker 4: they all like wanted to do together. I bet you
- 1:48Speaker 4: he convinced his seven-year-old that he could do it. If
- 1:51Speaker 4: I told my kids like, hey, we're going to go
- 1:52Speaker 4: climb a mountain, they'd be like, yes, let's do it.
- 1:54Speaker 4: You know, like I feel like they would be on
- 1:56Speaker 4: board until they were actually doing it. And they were like, oh,
- 1:58Speaker 4: my gosh, my body cannot handle this.
- 2:00Speaker 2: I'm seven.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Well, like anything else, even walking around the theme parks
- 2:03Speaker 1: after a certain amount of time, that's why you see
- 2:05Speaker 1: so many parents not happy on their vacation because the
- 2:08Speaker 1: kids get tired.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:10Speaker 1: So you have to know this is going to happen.
- 2:12Speaker 1: So he takes them up to the sixth station. He said, hey,
- 2:14Speaker 1: you wait right here. I'll be back. I'm going to
- 2:15Speaker 1: go finish this mountain real quick. Seven and a half hours. Obviously,
- 2:19Speaker 1: someone called the police. The police came down. But from
- 2:21Speaker 1: everything I read. He didn't get arrested or anything. He
- 2:24Speaker 1: just got reprimanded by the police. Now, I don't know
- 2:26Speaker 1: the laws in Japan. I'm not sure how that works here.
- 2:28Speaker 1: But I mean, they would have snapped your kids up. Yeah,
- 2:31Speaker 1: that's crazy. And I'm sure there were people around because
- 2:34Speaker 1: it's like I said, it's a climbing station. So people
- 2:36Speaker 1: are probably like, what's this kid doing sitting here at
- 2:39Speaker 1: station six? Then they come back down and he's still there.
- 2:42Speaker 1: So the guy said it was a rash decision. He
- 2:44Speaker 1: deeply regrets it. Yeah. So he admits it was a
- 2:49Speaker 1: bad choice.
- 2:50Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 2:51Speaker 4: I think that, like, mentally, once he was, like, determined,
- 2:53Speaker 4: he was like, nothing's stopping me, not even my own child.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I'm taking these kids. These kids are going with me
- 2:58Speaker 1: to the top of this mountain. It is what it is.
- 3:01Speaker 1: So where did your parents drag you to as a kid?
- 3:04Speaker 1: Because you don't... As a kid, have a choice. Your
- 3:07Speaker 1: parents want to do something, especially a lot of times
- 3:10Speaker 1: in the single parent situation, you can't stay with the
- 3:12Speaker 1: other parent. So they got to drag you. I wasn't
- 3:15Speaker 1: for me. It wasn't as bad as the mountain. Like
- 3:16Speaker 1: I said, my mom used to drag me to JCPenney
- 3:18Speaker 1: so she could try on clothes. I had to sit
- 3:19Speaker 1: in the women's department. And I would sit in the
- 3:21Speaker 1: corner facing the wall because I didn't want to see
- 3:23Speaker 1: nobody coming out of the dressing rooms.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I remember that as a kid. And my parents used
- 3:27Speaker 1: to always drag me to the VFW.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Because my grandparents were real big in the VFW. It's
- 3:35Speaker 1: the Veterans of Foreign Wars. My grandmother was... the president
- 3:39Speaker 1: of the ladies auxiliary. And my, my grandfather was the
- 3:44Speaker 1: president on the other side, my mama, my papa. So
- 3:46Speaker 1: they would always drag us to the VFW, me and
- 3:49Speaker 1: my cousins. Now, looking back, we had a great time.
- 3:51Speaker 1: This wasn't like, you know, going 8,000 feet above sea level.
- 3:54Speaker 4: And it's not like anything's going to pop off at
- 3:55Speaker 4: the VFW.
- 3:56Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:56Speaker 1: And then just a bunch of old people smoking, drinking
- 3:58Speaker 1: and playing bingo.
- 3:59Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 3:59Speaker 1: That's what it was. But we, they would drag us
- 4:01Speaker 1: there every weekend because that's just what they did. And
- 4:04Speaker 1: you can't stay at home. So come with us. All
- 4:08Speaker 1: my cousins would end up at the VFW. Yeah. I mean,
- 4:11Speaker 1: it's where we spent a lot of our quality time.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Did your parents ever drag you anywhere?
- 4:14Speaker 4: I mean, my parents owned a bar slash restaurant, and
- 4:18Speaker 4: this was in New Smyrna Beach. And they owned it
- 4:21Speaker 4: for a while, but I was in elementary school. they
- 4:24Speaker 4: were the owners and they had to work and they
- 4:26Speaker 4: were management. And so like half the time I would
- 4:28Speaker 4: be just sitting in a booth somewhere listening to like
- 4:31Speaker 4: live music. And I swear, that's probably why I love
- 4:33Speaker 4: like alternative music, right? Just listening to a live band.
- 4:37Speaker 4: And so like they would smoke in the bar, there'd
- 4:40Speaker 4: be drunk people. And I would just be sitting there
- 4:42Speaker 4: helping them out, like busing tables. And like I said,
- 4:46Speaker 4: I was probably like, 11 or 12.
- 4:48Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Busting tables at a bar or restaurant.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Yeah, but they had no choice.
- 4:52Speaker 7: No.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Again, not as bad as 8,000 feet above sea level,
- 4:55Speaker 1: but you had no choice.
- 4:56Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Parents had to drag you there. Want to find out
- 4:58Speaker 1: where your parents drug you as a kid or where
- 5:02Speaker 1: you have to drag your kids to now.
- 5:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Hopefully it's not as bad as, you know, halfway up
- 5:07Speaker 1: an 8,000 foot.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Oh, I can't imagine where people have just left their kids.
- 5:11Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 5:12Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, obviously not like illegally like to
- 5:15Speaker 4: an extreme because we see those.
- 5:16Speaker 6: Yes.
- 5:17Speaker 4: News articles are like news things all the time where
- 5:19Speaker 4: it's like, oh, a mom left their child in the car.
- 5:21Speaker 2: To go drink at the bar.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Yes.
- 5:23Speaker 1: And I know Johnny's got a story where he got
- 5:24Speaker 1: left one time back in the day.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Did he really?
- 5:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I was him. I'm pretty sure it was him
- 5:29Speaker 1: or was one of his siblings got left. I think
- 5:32Speaker 1: the rest stop because they had a they had so
- 5:34Speaker 1: many people in the car. So they're like, it's like
- 5:37Speaker 1: Kevin from Home Alone.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Well, they just get left. That's why I didn't go
- 5:41Speaker 1: the route of where were you left? Because I don't
- 5:43Speaker 1: want to hear these stories. Where did your parents force
- 5:46Speaker 1: you to go back in the day? This guy had
- 5:47Speaker 1: to bring his kids along to climb a mountain. He
- 5:50Speaker 1: didn't have to. He chose to. Unless climbing a mountain
- 5:54Speaker 1: is his profession. That was a choice that he made.
- 5:56Speaker 1: So I want to hear about yours. I got two

- 7:19Speaker 1: These kids ain't stopping me. I'm taking you with me.
- 7:21Speaker 1: So where did your parents drag you to as a kid?
- 7:24Speaker 1: Or maybe you drag your kids to them to this
- 7:27Speaker 1: spot now. We got tickets to check out the Orlando
- 7:29Speaker 1: Pride versus Utah Royals. That's at Interdot Coast Stadium on

- 7:35Speaker 1: Groveland and talk to Samantha. Samantha, good morning. Hi, good morning.
- 7:40Speaker 1: All right. What's the story? Did you drag your kids
- 7:43Speaker 1: or your parents drug you somewhere?
- 7:46Speaker 7: Kind of both. So when we were kids, me and
- 7:50Speaker 7: my brother and my sister, my dad used to do
- 7:54Speaker 7: car shows and And it would be in different locations,
- 7:58Speaker 7: but mainly at like Old Town in Kissimmee.
- 8:02Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:03Speaker 7: So we would go and there would be so many
- 8:05Speaker 7: different car clubs there, competitions. They would hand out trophies.
- 8:08Speaker 7: And me and my sister and my brother were just
- 8:10Speaker 7: bored sitting in the car waiting for it to be over.
- 8:12Speaker 7: Or if not, they would kind of just let us
- 8:17Speaker 7: go on our way with the other car show like
- 8:19Speaker 7: club kids. And we would just go on our way
- 8:22Speaker 7: and walk around Old Town by ourselves and Back then
- 8:25Speaker 7: it wasn't as, I don't know, I guess suspicious to
- 8:29Speaker 7: let your kids walk around.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't very sketched to let your kids do
- 8:32Speaker 1: their thing back in the day. Now it's a little sketch.
- 8:34Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:35Speaker 7: So back then we would literally walk all the way
- 8:37Speaker 7: to a fun spot that was like next door to it.
- 8:40Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:41Speaker 7: Walk around there and be by ourselves until it was over.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Like a little old town gang. See, that would be
- 8:45Speaker 1: kind of fun.
- 8:45Speaker 7: That's like what.
- 8:47Speaker 2: We used to do at the flea market.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but they used to drop us off at
- 8:52Speaker 1: flea world. They didn't drag me there. They just dropped
- 8:54Speaker 1: me off and leave me for a few hours to
- 8:55Speaker 1: walk around. But, uh, I mean, that'd be kind of cool.
- 8:58Speaker 1: I would think, all right, hang on one second. I'd
- 9:00Speaker 1: be cool with that. I think you're part of a little,
- 9:01Speaker 1: a little fun spot. Old town back in the day.
- 9:05Speaker 1: That'd be kind of cool. Jessica from Deltona. Good morning.
- 9:09Speaker 7: Good morning. All right.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Where did you get dragged to as a kid back
- 9:13Speaker 1: in the day? Uh, In, like, late 1999, we moved
- 9:18Speaker 1: to New York.
- 9:19Speaker 7: My dad was doing, like, production work on a Broadway show.
- 9:22Speaker 1: That's cool.
- 9:23Speaker 7: And it was with Liza Minnelli.
- 9:24Speaker 6: So she decided she was going to have a New
- 9:27Speaker 6: Year's Eve party at her apartment.
- 9:29Speaker 7: And it was, like, a drag party.
- 9:30Speaker 1: And my parents brought me and my little sister.
- 9:34Speaker 7: I was, like, 13.
- 9:35Speaker 3: She was 8. Was, like, an all-nighter. Yeah.
- 9:39Speaker 1: So you got dragged to a drag party.
- 9:42Speaker 7: To a drag party with Liza Minnelli.
- 9:44Speaker 2: She was, like, the sweetest person, though.
- 9:46Speaker 5: She's awesome.
- 9:47Speaker 1: That is super cool, actually.
- 9:48Speaker 2: That's a great story.
- 9:49Speaker 3: That is really cool.
- 9:50Speaker 7: It is.
- 9:50Speaker 2: It's an awesome story.
- 9:52Speaker 3: It's a really good story.
- 9:53Speaker 1: We had fun.
- 9:53Speaker 5: We found.
- 9:54Speaker 3: She had a bathroom that was, like, fully mirrors. Like,
- 9:57Speaker 3: everything in the.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Bathroom is made of mirrors.
- 9:58Speaker 1: So my sister and I just like played in there.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Was there any other kids at the party or was
- 10:03Speaker 1: it just you guys?
- 10:04Speaker 3: No, absolutely not.
- 10:06Speaker 1: And your parents are like, look, we ain't skipping Liza
- 10:08Speaker 1: Minnelli's party. Y'all coming.
- 10:10Speaker 4: But it's cool because now look at you, you're an
- 10:12Speaker 4: adult and you're able to like tell that story.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Right.
- 10:15Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 10:16Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 10:16Speaker 1: It was, it was, uh, Definitely a crazy experience. Yeah,
- 10:20Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Hang on one second. Yeah, that one's
- 10:22Speaker 1: much better than getting, you know, dragged 8,000 feet up
- 10:25Speaker 1: the side of a mountain and just left.
- 10:27Speaker 7: Yep.
- 10:27Speaker 1: I wouldn't like that at all. Michael from Winter Park,
- 10:29Speaker 1: good morning.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 10:32Speaker 5: How are you guys doing?
- 10:33Speaker 7: Good.
- 10:33Speaker 1: How are you, man?
- 10:34Speaker 5: Doing good.
- 10:35Speaker 1: All right. So where'd your parents drag you to?
- 10:37Speaker 5: Oh, man, they used to drag me and my sister
- 10:40Speaker 5: to a trivia night with all their friends. And it'd
- 10:42Speaker 5: be so awkward because we'd be so young, not knowing
- 10:45Speaker 5: any of these answers, and they'd just be having a blast.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Did they have other kids there or y'all was the
- 10:49Speaker 1: only kids at trivia night?
- 10:52Speaker 5: Uh, sometimes they'll go with their friends. So there'll be some,
- 10:55Speaker 5: sometimes there'll be kids, but, uh, usually just be there
- 10:57Speaker 5: for like the free meal.
- 10:59Speaker 1: You should be amazing at jeopardy now though. Cause you
- 11:01Speaker 1: were exposed to the trivia at a young age.
- 11:04Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.
- 11:05Speaker 1: So you're good now with like trivia questions. Like you're smart.
- 11:08Speaker 1: You got education.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Yeah, I like to listen to older music too.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Yeah. See, they made you an old person without even
- 11:15Speaker 1: making you an old person. Like you just couldn't help it.
- 11:17Speaker 1: You got rubbed off on by a bunch of old people. Yeah, seriously.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Which sounds weird when I say that out loud. Hang
- 11:23Speaker 1: on one second. They didn't rub you.
- 11:25Speaker 2: No, I'm like the way that you just said that.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Old people rubbed off on you and you became old
- 11:30Speaker 1: as a kid. You know what I meant. What do
- 11:34Speaker 1: you got on social media, Rae?
- 11:36Speaker 4: Somebody said that my mom used to go in on
- 11:38Speaker 4: the weekends to catch up on work. It was all unpaid,
- 11:41Speaker 4: but she would make me sit there the whole time
- 11:43Speaker 4: during a Saturday and just watch her work.
- 11:46Speaker 2: And a lot of people work. My dad was an electrician.
- 11:49Speaker 4: I took my daughter to work as a mobile mechanic
- 11:51Speaker 4: for food in transit all over Central Florida. There's so
- 11:55Speaker 4: many people that brought their kids to work because they
- 11:57Speaker 4: didn't have childcare.
- 11:58Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:58Speaker 1: I mean, that happens a lot.
- 11:59Speaker 2: And it's so expensive.
- 11:59Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Let's see. XL Mobile powered by attorney Dan Newland in
- 12:02Speaker 1: a wreck. Need to check. It's a no-brainer. Just call
- 12:04Speaker 1: attorney Dan Newland. Someone texted the mobile and said they
- 12:06Speaker 1: actually climbed Mount Fuji back in 2017. They said it's definitely.
- 12:10Speaker 2: So they have like a perspective of all.
- 12:12Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 12:12Speaker 1: They said it's definitely a long climb. The kid probably
- 12:14Speaker 1: got tired from less oxygen at the top.
- 12:16Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Because he only made it 8,000 feet up. So that's
- 12:19Speaker 1: over half, I think, because they said there's 10 stages.
- 12:21Speaker 1: He made it to stage six and then he left
- 12:22Speaker 1: the kid at stage six.
- 12:23Speaker 2: But he should have had a backup plan.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Yep.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Let's see, someone said that my VFW was their moose lodge.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Their grandparents were members, so they always got... Taken to
- 12:32Speaker 1: the golf course, into the Moose Lodge back in the day.
- 12:35Speaker 1: The bowling alley. Yes, I used to get dragged to
- 12:38Speaker 1: the bowling alley too because it's league night.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Yes, my dad was part of a league for a
- 12:41Speaker 2: while when I was growing up. Same thing.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't miss league night. And I'm not sure
- 12:46Speaker 1: if I believe this. Someone said the strip club while
- 12:48Speaker 1: their dad was inside. I'm not sure if I believe that.
- 12:51Speaker 4: That's one of those situations where you hear it on
- 12:52Speaker 4: the news where the mom went into the bar to
- 12:54Speaker 4: get drunk and left their child in the car.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure I believe that one. I don't
- 12:58Speaker 1: think I believe that one. I think we should hook
- 12:59Speaker 1: up Jessica with these tickets to check out the Orlando Pride.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I mean, she got to go to the Liza Minnelli
- 13:03Speaker 1: drag party.
- 13:04Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive.
- 13:05Speaker 1: That's pretty solid. So Orlando Pride versus Utah Royals, Inter.co
- 13:08Speaker 1: Stadium on August 29th. We will hook Jessica up with those.
- 13:12Speaker 1: What you're working on in celebrity news. XL1067, Orlando's number
- 13:15Speaker 1: one hit music station. Johnny's house on a Wednesday morning.
- 13:18Speaker 1: She will be at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Just announced we added Ciara and Smashing Pumpkins. Of course,
- 13:24Speaker 1: you got Benson Boone, you got BTS, you got Snoop Dogg.
- 13:26Speaker 1: We got a keyword with $ 1, 000, a trip to Vegas,
- 13:29Speaker 1: and tickets to the festival less than an hour away,
- 13:32Speaker 1: 9 a.m.
- 13:33Speaker 2: This morning.
- 13:33Speaker 1: We will hook you up with that. So with the
- 13:35Speaker 1: passing of Dolly Parton, and I think we've asked this
- 13:37Speaker 1: question numerous times, and everyone talks about it. Is there
- 13:41Speaker 1: a celebrity that is as universally loved, respected, you can't
- 13:44Speaker 1: find anything negative about, on the level of Dolly Parton?
- 13:48Speaker 1: And I don't think there is anymore. I think maybe
- 13:50Speaker 1: she was it.
- 13:51Speaker 4: Well, it's crazy because there's so many people that you think...
- 13:55Speaker 4: Are so, like, beloved, and then you're like, oh, right,
- 13:57Speaker 4: they had a dirty past.
- 13:59Speaker 1: There's something lurking over there. I think with Betty White
- 14:04Speaker 1: and with Dolly Parton, there probably isn't. You won't find that.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:08Speaker 1: I know Keanu Reeves is one that comes up a lot.
- 14:11Speaker 5: Okay.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Because he's universally loved. No one really says anything bad
- 14:14Speaker 1: about him, or there's no bad stories about him.
- 14:17Speaker 2: What about Morgan Freeman? He was one that came to
- 14:19Speaker 2: my mind.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Yeah, but didn't he have a little sideways thing where
- 14:22Speaker 1: he was cheating? Didn't he have a car accident or
- 14:24Speaker 1: something like that? And that's how it all came out.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Wasn't that Morgan Freeman?
- 14:27Speaker 3: Oh, dang.
- 14:28Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd have to look that up. But
- 14:30Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that was Cuba Gooding Jr. And he
- 14:33Speaker 1: had his own thing.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. He definitely had a ton of stuff.
- 14:36Speaker 1: I'm doing this on the fly. But I'm pretty sure he...
- 14:40Speaker 1: And I would say that was true with Morgan Freeman.
- 14:44Speaker 3: But, yeah.
- 14:45Speaker 1: I guess there was something... Now, again, his reps denied it.
- 14:49Speaker 1: There was a whole bunch of stuff going on. But
- 14:51Speaker 1: there was some allegations of himself back in the day.
- 14:54Speaker 1: I think in 2018. So, yeah. There was.
- 14:58Speaker 1: That kind of stuff won't come out, at least I hope,
- 15:00Speaker 1: or think about Dolly Parton.
- 15:02Speaker 2: No, I would hope not.
- 15:04Speaker 1: So there's always something like that. I know Brendan Fraser's
- 15:06Speaker 1: one that everyone kind of universally loves.
- 15:08Speaker 2: Okay, yep. And he disappeared for a little bit.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Yeah. Steve Irwin, the Croc Hunter guy. He was just
- 15:14Speaker 1: a genuinely good dude.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Nothing came out really about him.
- 15:18Speaker 1: But I don't think outside of people like that, and
- 15:21Speaker 1: they still aren't to the level of Dolly Parton.
- 15:22Speaker 2: What about Robin Williams?
- 15:24Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think Robin Williams. But as a comedian,
- 15:27Speaker 1: you kind of have kind of a dark streak anyway.
- 15:29Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 15:29Speaker 1: So there are going to be some people who have
- 15:31Speaker 1: some things to say. And then, you know, how he
- 15:34Speaker 1: did pass is kind of like there was a kind
- 15:36Speaker 1: of a dark side to him. I don't think anyone
- 15:38Speaker 1: disliked him, though.
- 15:39Speaker 7: No.
- 15:39Speaker 1: You're right about that. Yeah, I loved him. I thought
- 15:41Speaker 1: he was hilarious. And he always seemed very personable.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Yes.
- 15:44Speaker 1: So, yeah, I would put him up there.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 15:47Speaker 1: And so is there a celebrity you can think of
- 15:50Speaker 1: that is on that kind of untouchable, perfect– Like nobody
- 15:55Speaker 1: hates level. And is there one that you're willing to
- 15:58Speaker 1: go to bat for? You're like, look, maybe they're not
- 16:00Speaker 1: universally loved, but I will not accept slander about this person.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neal comes to mind for me because a lot
- 16:07Speaker 1: of people have bad things to say about Shaq, but
- 16:09Speaker 1: it's like, uh-uh. We're not doing that here because Shaq
- 16:13Speaker 1: does so many great things.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
- 16:15Speaker 1: And I saw someone yesterday that quickly jumped on the
- 16:18Speaker 1: Donald Parton thing and they tried to throw politics at it. Oh,
- 16:21Speaker 1: my gosh. And somebody quick came back and said, no, no, no, no.
- 16:24Speaker 1: We're not doing that here.
- 16:25Speaker 2: How dare you?
- 16:26Speaker 6: Right.
- 16:26Speaker 1: We're not doing that here. She did this. She did this.
- 16:28Speaker 1: She did this. She did this.
- 16:29Speaker 4: Well, like I said, she had enough money to become
- 16:31Speaker 4: a billionaire, but she would never be a billionaire because
- 16:33Speaker 4: she gave so.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Much of her money away.
- 16:35Speaker 5: Right.
- 16:36Speaker 1: They said across the board– She's a good person. We're
- 16:38Speaker 1: not doing this.
- 16:39Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:39Speaker 1: So who is that for you? Like for me. And
- 16:42Speaker 1: I know we've talked about Wendy Williams before and I've
- 16:45Speaker 1: never really fully like defended Willie Wendy Williams because there
- 16:48Speaker 1: are some things that are just factual facts.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 16:51Speaker 1: But I will not accept like the bad talk about
- 16:54Speaker 1: Wendy Williams. She was put in a bad situation.
- 16:56Speaker 6: Yes.
- 16:57Speaker 1: She had to handle it the way she had to
- 16:58Speaker 1: handle it. But I met her. in person. And I
- 17:03Speaker 1: think she's one of the coolest, one of the most
- 17:06Speaker 1: principled people that I've ever met.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
- 17:09Speaker 1: When we met her behind the scenes, she knew my name.
- 17:11Speaker 1: She knew what I did here.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Yeah, she did her research.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Knew how long I had been here. And there's people
- 17:16Speaker 1: that work here that don't know that. So I won't
- 17:20Speaker 1: accept the Wendy Williams slander.
- 17:21Speaker 2: I just feel so bad for her.
- 17:24Speaker 1: But she had a situation that was forced on her
- 17:26Speaker 1: and she handled it the best she could. So, yeah,
- 17:29Speaker 1: I will push back on Wendy Williams slander.
- 17:31Speaker 2: I think I'll always push back on Justin Bieber.
- 17:33Speaker 4: Yeah, because like I feel like, yes, he was a
- 17:36Speaker 4: jackass at some point, but like he was also a kid.
- 17:38Speaker 6: Right.
- 17:39Speaker 4: And he had nobody guiding him in the right direction
- 17:41Speaker 4: or nobody helping him or protecting him.
- 17:44Speaker 2: At one point.
- 17:44Speaker 4: So I think that like for me, him being an
- 17:46Speaker 4: adult now and seeing how he's such a good father,
- 17:49Speaker 4: great husband, he's happy now.
- 17:51Speaker 2: I feel like that's one that I'll always defend.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Okay.
- 17:53Speaker 1: I see that. And Taylor Swift fans are, that's how
- 17:56Speaker 1: they feel. Like with the whole Kanye mean girl stuff,
- 17:59Speaker 1: like they still were like, no, we're not going to
- 18:01Speaker 1: have that here.
- 18:01Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 18:02Speaker 1: We're not going to have you saying bad things about
- 18:04Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. So do you think there's any celebrity that's
- 18:07Speaker 1: still up to that? Perfect. Nobody hates them level. Uh,
- 18:10Speaker 1: now that we've lost a Dolly Parton and who's that
- 18:12Speaker 1: celebrity for you that you're like, nah, we aren't going
- 18:15Speaker 1: to have any of that slander here. Got tickets to

- 18:43Speaker 1: And that one that you will not accept slander about.
- 18:46Speaker 1: We want to hear from you next on Johnny's House.
- 18:49Speaker 7: On XL 106.7.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Back to friends. Orlando's number one hit music station, XL 106.7.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Johnny's House on a Wednesday morning with the passing of
- 18:58Speaker 1: Dolly Parton. We're talking about celebrities that are kind of
- 19:01Speaker 1: on that level. Like, you can't hate Dolly Parton. There's
- 19:04Speaker 1: nothing negative about Dolly Parton.
- 19:05Speaker 2: No, absolutely not.
- 19:05Speaker 1: In fact, if you say you don't like her, there's
- 19:07Speaker 1: something suspect about you. So what celebrities are elevated to
- 19:11Speaker 1: that level? And then which celebrity will you just not
- 19:13Speaker 1: accept any slander on? You ain't going to have it.
- 19:16Speaker 1: No one's talking bad about this person. Let's go to
- 19:18Speaker 1: Ben and Kasemi. Ben, good morning.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 19:22Speaker 5: All right.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Who's that celebrity that you think is kind of in
- 19:25Speaker 1: that stratosphere? Nothing wrong with them. Everybody likes them.
- 19:29Speaker 3: Adam Sandler.
- 19:31Speaker 1: You know what? I can't find anything wrong with that.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that.
- 19:35Speaker 1: You could say I don't like Adam Sandler movies. You
- 19:37Speaker 1: could say it's kind of annoying and obnoxious. But I mean,
- 19:39Speaker 1: that's just your taste in movies. You can't say anything
- 19:42Speaker 1: bad about Adam Sandler.
- 19:43Speaker 3: No, but I met him in person and he was
- 19:45Speaker 3: a genuine guy.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's all I've ever heard is great stories
- 19:49Speaker 1: about him. I've never. heard a bad story about him.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Where did you actually, where did you actually meet him?
- 19:55Speaker 3: Planet Hollywood at a Disney Springs. Okay.
- 19:58Speaker 1: So like, was it like an event or you just
- 20:00Speaker 1: happened to be there and he happened to be there?
- 20:02Speaker 3: I was working at Planet Hollywood and he came in.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Oh, he just came in.
- 20:07Speaker 2: That's really cool.
- 20:08Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Did he come in with his family?
- 20:10Speaker 5: Yes.
- 20:12Speaker 2: I love that he puts his family in everything.
- 20:14Speaker 3: They're all genuine.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I would imagine he's the kind of parent and
- 20:22Speaker 1: probably spouse that's like, look, I won't accept you being
- 20:24Speaker 1: a bad person.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:25Speaker 1: That's not happening on my watch. That's pretty cool. All right,
- 20:28Speaker 1: hang on a second. Yeah, Adam Sandler, I would say,
- 20:29Speaker 1: is probably on the list. That's a pretty good one.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Let's go to Naomi in Orlando. Good morning.
- 20:36Speaker 6: Good morning. How are you?
- 20:37Speaker 3: Good.
- 20:37Speaker 1: How are you?
- 20:37Speaker 5: Good.
- 20:39Speaker 6: I'm good, thank you.
- 20:40Speaker 1: All right, so who is on the list for you?
- 20:42Speaker 1: Maybe not to the level of Dolly Parton. Let's say
- 20:44Speaker 1: she's at the top of the list, but who else
- 20:46Speaker 1: would you say nobody hates?
- 20:48Speaker 7: Celine Dion.
- 20:51Speaker 1: You know what? You're right. I don't think there's anything
- 20:53Speaker 1: bad about Celine Dion that I've ever seen. Nope, she
- 20:57Speaker 1: is perfect. I have met her at a show, and
- 21:01Speaker 1: she was super awesome. So you got to meet her,
- 21:03Speaker 1: and she was still super nice?
- 21:06Speaker 3: Yep.
- 21:07Speaker 4: That's the best when you meet them and they're like
- 21:08Speaker 4: actually genuine and that it's not just like a fake front.
- 21:14Speaker 7: No, she was great.
- 21:16Speaker 5: I even follow her on Instagram and everything.
- 21:19Speaker 6: And she's just awesome.
- 21:22Speaker 7: There's nothing bad to talk about her and I wouldn't
- 21:24Speaker 7: have it.
- 21:25Speaker 1: You wouldn't have it. You would defend it if you
- 21:27Speaker 1: had to.
- 21:27Speaker 4: If I had to, yes.
- 21:29Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, I looked it up. I'm just like
- 21:32Speaker 1: quickly browsing through to see if I see anything that
- 21:34Speaker 1: pops up. And again, it's like the Adam Sandler. You
- 21:36Speaker 1: don't necessarily might not like her performances. And that's cool.
- 21:39Speaker 1: That's OK. It just might not be your thing. But
- 21:41Speaker 1: you can't say anything bad about it.
- 21:43Speaker 7: All right.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Let's go to Jeffrey and Delanne. Jeffrey, good morning.
- 21:47Speaker 5: Hi. Hello.
- 21:48Speaker 1: So who do you think you can't say anything bad about?
- 21:50Speaker 1: There's a celebrity out there that's kind of on the
- 21:53Speaker 1: level of Dolly Parton. Nobody hates him.
- 21:55Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say, I think, I was going to
- 21:59Speaker 6: say Adam Sandler, but someone already said Adam Sandler. But
- 22:01Speaker 6: I would say my second one would be John Cena.
- 22:04Speaker 1: John Cena.
- 22:04Speaker 6: I think John Cena is a, yeah, I think he's
- 22:06Speaker 6: a good one. I think he's completed like the most,
- 22:08Speaker 6: you know, make a wish, you know, wishes for kids. And,
- 22:11Speaker 6: you know, on top of that, you know, like when
- 22:13Speaker 6: you see him, he always talks about how he drives
- 22:15Speaker 6: a Civic.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Very humble guy.
- 22:16Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's anything bad about him either. Again,
- 22:19Speaker 1: that's one that you could say, again, I'm not a
- 22:20Speaker 1: wrestling fan or whatever, but you couldn't say anything bad
- 22:22Speaker 1: about him as a person.
- 22:23Speaker 5: No.
- 22:24Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
- 22:25Speaker 4: I mean, you could probably ask his ex-fiance a little something.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a little dispute about, you know, starting
- 22:31Speaker 1: a family and not starting a family.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Well, like one of the Bella twins or whatever.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Promises made and promises broken and things like that. But
- 22:37Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know. We weren't in their house.
- 22:38Speaker 4: No. I mean, there's a lot of people that would
- 22:40Speaker 4: probably say a lot of stuff about me too that's
- 22:42Speaker 4: probably poor.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I mean, I would. If you ask me, I'll tell
- 22:45Speaker 1: you about Ray. Everybody thinks Ray's great.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Wait till my book comes out.
- 22:49Speaker 2: But underneath.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Right.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Thanks for calling, man. Yeah, hang on one second. Well,
- 22:52Speaker 1: we'll hook somebody up with those tickets to check out
- 22:54Speaker 1: Logic and G-Eazy at Tampa, Mid-Florida Credit Union Amphitheater. What'd
- 22:57Speaker 1: you got on social media?
- 22:58Speaker 2: Somebody said Prince.
- 23:01Speaker 4: He was everybody's king, is what they're saying.
- 23:04Speaker 1: I loved Prince, but there's got to be something sideways
- 23:07Speaker 1: about Prince.
- 23:09Speaker 5: Right?
- 23:09Speaker 1: I mean, there has to be. I'm looking right now.
- 23:10Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 23:11Speaker 4: But somebody did say that they would defend Drew Barrymore,
- 23:15Speaker 4: and I also feel that way. I feel like I
- 23:16Speaker 4: would defend Drew Barrymore. She seems like such an angel.
- 23:19Speaker 3: Okay.
- 23:20Speaker 1: You'd have to acknowledge that she had... A lot of
- 23:23Speaker 1: skeletons because she did.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Okay, but her upbringing, she was put into that as
- 23:26Speaker 2: a child.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I got you. So you would defend, but you couldn't
- 23:29Speaker 1: put her on the level.
- 23:29Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 23:30Speaker 2: No, I would defend that girl.
- 23:32Speaker 1: Yeah, they said Prince is, while super artistic and everybody
- 23:35Speaker 1: likes his musical genius, they said he was really hard
- 23:39Speaker 1: to deal with. And he was very abrasive and very controlling,
- 23:42Speaker 1: especially when it comes to music and his legacy. So
- 23:45Speaker 1: I could see where on the outside looking in, you
- 23:47Speaker 1: don't know that. But like musically, I could see why
- 23:50Speaker 1: you don't know. On the XL mobile, powered by attorney
- 23:52Speaker 1: Dan Newland, indirect need to check. It's a no-brainer. Just
- 23:54Speaker 1: call attorney Dan Newland. Someone said Regis. Now, I met him,
- 23:59Speaker 1: and he was one of the nicest people I've ever met. Yeah.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Super gracious. Did his thing.
- 24:04Speaker 2: He described to me like a grandpa.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Yeah. And you just went about his business. Let's see.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Tom Hanks pops up a lot on the list. And
- 24:10Speaker 1: I think there was a time where Tom Hanks was untouchable.
- 24:14Speaker 1: But then I think a lot of those conspiracy stories
- 24:17Speaker 1: came out. And that just depends on whether you believe
- 24:19Speaker 1: him or not.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Someone said they will accept zero bad words about Stevie Nicks. Zero.
- 24:26Speaker 2: Wow.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Zendaya on the list as well, they say.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. I could see that. I would defend her, too.
- 24:31Speaker 1: She's pretty young, so she's got a ways to go.
- 24:33Speaker 1: So we'll see how it all plays out for her.
- 24:35Speaker 1: Someone said, don't you dare talk bad about none of
- 24:37Speaker 1: the Backstreet Boys.
- 24:38Speaker 3: True.
- 24:39Speaker 1: I mean, there is one I'm suing people for using
- 24:41Speaker 1: his beach out in front of his house. I mean,
- 24:44Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything bad. And then someone said, if
- 24:45Speaker 1: you say a bad word about Reba McIntyre, I will
- 24:49Speaker 1: throat punch you. So Reba McIntyre, add that to the
- 24:52Speaker 1: list as well. I don't know anything bad about her. So,
- 24:54Speaker 1: I mean, I looked it up. I didn't, nothing came
- 24:56Speaker 1: up bad. Someone did say Will Smith too, but you
- 24:58Speaker 1: all know Will Smith did go on stage and smack
- 25:00Speaker 1: Chris Rock, right?
- 25:01Speaker 2: We're not going.
- 25:02Speaker 1: To forget that.
- 25:03Speaker 2: He was defending his family.
- 25:04Speaker 6: Right.
- 25:04Speaker 1: I know, but we're not going to forget that, right?
- 25:06Speaker 1: I mean, that happened.
- 25:08Speaker 4: I would punch somebody in the face if they talked
- 25:10Speaker 4: crap about my girlfriend.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Will Smith was on his way to being that level,
- 25:14Speaker 1: but obviously it's gone sideways. And then all of the
- 25:16Speaker 1: stuff that came out with the red table talk and
- 25:17Speaker 1: Jada stuff.
- 25:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:19Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 25:19Speaker 2: They just live a weird life.
- 25:21Speaker 5: Right.
- 25:22Speaker 1: So you can't put them on that level with the
- 25:25Speaker 1: Dolly Partons and the Betty Whites. You can't do that.
- 25:29Speaker 6: No.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Because you have that sideways stuff. All right, so those
- 25:31Speaker 1: are all good suggestions. We'll hook somebody up with those
- 25:33Speaker 1: tickets to share at Logic and G-Eazy at Mid-Florida Credit
- 25:36Speaker 1: Union Amphitheater in Tampa. We'll come back, and it's Wednesday.
- 25:39Speaker 1: We'll do those true stories that happened to me and
- 25:41Speaker 1: hook somebody up with tickets to see Luke Bryan. It's
- 25:44Speaker 1: Johnny's House, 832 on XL 106.7. And they actually happened,
- 25:51Speaker 1: but they're so crazy.
