  Speaker 1: Yes, we're going to talk about Big Boy. I'm a
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Big Boy fan, I really am, and there may be
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: some good news if you too are a Big Boy fan.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, kind of caught me by surprise,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: caught me off guard, but it put kind of a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: smile on my face. I'm looking through the relevant materials
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: right now, and the problem is I'm not seeing Grove City, Worthington, Columbus,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: any of the locations that we had fishes up here.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: But but I'm not down for the count yet because
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I'm still reviewing. Also, I'm a big fan, or was
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a big fan, of the TV show Blue Bloods. I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: think most people know that I talked about it very favorably,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: very often. Then they took it away from me after
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: fourteen seasons. Well apparently, according to Variety, the industry newspaper,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the Blue Bloods universe is officially expanding, and I don't
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: know how I feel about it. A spin off featuring
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Donnie Wahlberg's Danny Reagan has landed a straight to series
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: order at CBS. It's called Boston Blue, which is a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: working title, comes from SWAT writers Brandon Sonner and Brandon
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: mark Golis. Will follow Reagan in a new position, not
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in New York, but at Boston PD. There, he'll be
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: partnered with Detective Lena Peters, the eldest daughter of a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: prominent law enforcement family. After Blue Bloods was canceled, the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: cast was very vocal about wanting to continue. Wahlberg wasn't
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: sure how that would work without the family. It's going
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to be a very delicate dance to keep that integrity,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: He says, where's the family going to be if it
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: can't be in New York. I'd probably drive to New
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: York from Ohio if I was Danny, to go to dinner,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: go to dinner and back, Wahlberg said, a variety. Until
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: we know there's absolutely no way this show can be
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: resurrected somehow. I think we're all walking forward but taking
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a peek back. So if you were a big Danny
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Reagan fan, they are apparently they're looking to do this
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: for this next television season. He'll be in Boston. This
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: honestly smells of Tom Seleck's paycheck. I mean, really, I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: feel like that's what it comes down to. CBS just
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: didn't want to continue to pay Tom Selick. He was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the highest paid member of the cast, and I do
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: believe I read on several occasions where Selik was willing
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to take a pay cut to keep the show going.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: But this is where you have to wonder, and I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: hate to say it, but you have to wonder does
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: politics come into play? Because Selik was also, you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a pretty outspoken, conservative minded actor, and perhaps CBS didn't
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: want to give him any more money. That's what it
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: comes down to. But it was an excellent show made,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you know, made its way through Friday nights, which is
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: not the easiest night to be successful in television, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I was sad to see it go. I will probably
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: give this a chance. Most of the prequels and the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: reboots and all that kind of stuff I do not like.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still not convinced on NCIS origins. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: try to watch it. It just you know, I'm still
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: not really on board with with the Matt Lock reboot
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: because it has nothing to do with Matt Locke, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not all that big of a Kathy Bates fan.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Quite honestly, I've watched a little bit of it, but
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: h I'm still not convinced on this Elsbeth because frankly,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I think so help me. Todd was an equally quirky,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: well written, well acted show, and how they pulled the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: plug on that after two seasons and brought in this Elsbeth.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: She's like Miss Marple with with with a hyperactivity problem,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: just does it doesn't work for me. So I don't know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I either want an original idea or I want you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to keep going with the old stuff that's worked well,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and I don't. I wish the best for mister Wahlberg
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and and you know, for whoever is involved in that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: show with him, But I'm just I'm not enthusiastic until
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I see it. Until I see it. Also from the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: world of entertainment, Uh, I've thrown many and varied fits
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: over the years because they keep trying to change characters Superman.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: As you may recall, there was an effort to do
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a Superman movie where he was either gay or bisexual.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Do you recall that one, Zach? Are you because you're
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a comic book guy, right?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Ye? I like Batman, but I'm not like a huge,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: huge all the facets of every character.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Well, they've tried to mess with Batman too. Batman, you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they've turned him into kind of a recluse. Weirdo over
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the years.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Right, I like that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: But do you enjoy that?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I like the I really like the last
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: The Batman is what it was.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Well, they tried to turn Superman into either a gay
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: character or a bisexual character. They wanted four to be
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a woman at one point, and I think they gave
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: up on that idea.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I think was it. I could be wrong.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I look it up during the break that Superman had
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a kid and the kid was gonna be gay or bisexual,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and then Superman was gonna have to deal with that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Right, Like, that was like a big thing. I mean,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: if that's what you want, just create new characters, create
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you know, Rainbow Man or whatever, and let him be
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the gay superhero. That's fine, but stop messing with mine.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I remember Burton Ernie was all these people were like,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: they're gay, those characters are gay, and the guy who
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: created him was like, no, they're not.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I did not write them to be whatever. And it
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: was on Twitter and a bunch of people were like,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: well why can't why can't they be gay in our minds?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And he's like, I give up, Like what am I
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: gonna do here?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: In your mind? You can make it whatever. But that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't change the reality of the right James Bond. They
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: wanted to make a female James Bond again. Ian Fleming
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: wrote James Bond as a semi scandalist womanizing up British agent,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: male Brittish age, not as a woman. If you want
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a woman, James Bond throughout the years has had enough
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: relations with enough women that somewhere out there there is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a She can be Jane Bond, and you can do
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Jane Bond movies. Leave James alone. I just stop messing
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: with stuff, trying to try to take what we've known,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: what we like, what we uh, what we enjoy, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: turning into something to fit your your modern day political agenda.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: All that being said, those are all cartoon characters. There's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: all fantasy characters. They're not real. Cynthia Irevo. Are you
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: familiar with Cynthia Irevo not ringing any bells?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she played in the Wicked movie.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Is that where she's probably with she the Wicked Witch
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: because she kind of looks like the Wicked Witch. She's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: got a mean looking face to her. Uh. She is
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: an actress. She is she is an actress. She's she's bald,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: which I you know, that's a choice thing. I can
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: live with that. She's happy with it. And and she
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: is a brown skinned actress. I don't know what her
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: her ethnicity may be, but her skin is brown. Cynthia
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Arrivo is set to play Jesus Christ this summer in
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a production of Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice's Jesus
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl. Okay, now, if they
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: went with a black male, I could live with that.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's there is some pretty valid speculation that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: because of the place on the Earth where Jesus is
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: said to have been born, lived his thirty three years
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and exited, If that's truly where he then then there's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a pretty good chance he had dark skin.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he'd be a dark skinned guy.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: So I'm okay with that. But no way, shape or
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: form did the climate in the area turn him from
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: man to woman. But Cynthia Arrivo set to play Jesus
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Christ this summer, We're so messed up.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it's going to be a massive.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not taking this call. Who is this? It's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: James Bond. No, it's not.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I know it's not. It is not. I'm not saying
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it's not can't be the James Bond, because who is
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the James Bond right now? If they picked a new one.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing about James Bond. He may have
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: been originally wrote for whatever reason, but I am under
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the impression that now, because it's been so many decades
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: in so many movies, that James Bond the double O seven, Yes,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: that's just who is.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Ever that agent at that time? It's not just one guy.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: But he's Bond, James Bond.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Right, that's just his aliens shaken, not stir. Whoever is
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: James Bond? Now, that's just part of the alias.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, James Bond and nineteen.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Because one can't be doing the same thing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yes he can, because he's timeless. That's the advantage of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: being a fictional character. You don't get who was this
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: last guy?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: The guy that played him last Daniel Craig.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Daniel Craig was awesome, Yeah, he was awesome as James Bond.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I was also fairly fond of Pierce Brosnan, and my
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: favorite from my youth, frankly, was probably I'm gonna say,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Roger Moore. Now, I know a lot of people say, oh, no,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: seawnk Or, he's the best James Bond ever. He didn't
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: float my boat. Roger Moore because of the time period,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you know, the eighties was a fun, frivolous, carefree kind
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of era. Roger Moore was perfect to play James Bond.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He had that little smirk all the time. And Sean
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Connery was just I don't know, Sean Connie was too uh,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: too serious and gaunt for me. Timothy Dalton did nothing
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: for me as Bond. I just I didn't even believe
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: he was old enough to wear the suits. Really really, So,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Daniel Craig and Roger Moore and Peters Brosnan are my
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: three favorite Bonds. And you'll notice they're all males. James
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Bond is a male.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. There's a whole bunch of actually pretty decent female
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: assassin movies that are plausible. Yeah, that that aren't like
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: she's beating up a three hundred and twenty pounds man,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like plausible, good female assassin movies.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: So there's no reason to change change James Bond.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: It's completely logical that somebody, you do a little fan
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: fiction or whatever, somebody could write a story of Jane Bond.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: She she uh you know, found out who her father
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: was and aspired to be uh you know, part of
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: her Majesty's secret service and uh and followed in Daddy's footsteps.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And one day they end up meeting and find out
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that you know, m has kept them apart all these
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: years and did not let them know of one another,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and they end up working together and saving the world.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: That's the perfect James Bond. Sc give me a typewriter
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: out right.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you could add a twist in there, like they
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: they he meets a woman and they become lovers and
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: then they find out.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Oh no, see now you had to prefer it it
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: eight two one nine eight eighty six A two one WTV.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to take James Bond before you go
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to break here. You're on six to ten WUTV and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: doub seven.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Well signs for taking the call. Look, I've been James
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Bond for the last sixty five years. I haven't changed
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: from one actor to the other. I'm shaking that stirred
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: of course, but you know, I've had a lot of
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: fun with that over the years. But when I heard
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: that that they were going to change James Bond to
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: a woman. My head blew up, dude. I really couldn't
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: believe it, and I'm thinking, why do we have to
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: continue to try to recreate the wheel when it is
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: what it is? To your point, you know, do something
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: different and do a spin off of it, do it
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: a luck In Bond, like you said. But you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I've been James Bond for sixty five years, dude, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: I can thank my uncle Jim for that because I
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: was named after him. But yeah, and to your point,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I like the Bonds in the eighties much more than
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: the Sean Connery, the original and a few of the others.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: But yeah, the most recent was a really good James Bond.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: So I'm looking forward to who that they cast next
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: But I think it's still in the air because Daniel
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Craig said, I'm done. I'm not doing it anymore. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see who they come up with next,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: whether it will be a truly British actor or perhaps
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: they'll go with somebody else who can just do the accent.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, all right, well, thanks again, James.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you, buddy, Thanks very much. And I under
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: stand the name thing with him. I think I've told
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you before. Had my mom named me Charles without the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: benefit of marriage to my father, i'd be Chuck Norris. A.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be awesome, that'd be cool.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I think that that was her main name, so I
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: would be Chuck Norris.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you should do that. You should go change your
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: name right now.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I told that actually to an actor years ago when
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I was working on this station. I did a Sunday
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: night show and I used to have a lot of celebrities,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: old celebrities on and really enjoyed that. And I had
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Robert Fuller, Robert Fuller from Emergency, played doctor Kelly Beckett
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: on Emergency, and I was also on some Westerns and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: so forth. But anyway, he was talking about his name
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and I told him that same story, and he goes, well,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I think I'll walk down the road here and tell
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: my neighbor that story. He'll enjoy it. I said, who's
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: your neighbor? He said, Chuck Norris, All right, don't work
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: go and then didn't believe it or not. After the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: show we talked for like another hour and a half
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: off the air, and he was so kind. He goes,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you ever get down here to Texas? I'll get Chuck
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: getting the boat, go out and do some fishing.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I would have been neat.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I wish so much I could just
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: take off to Texas right then and there. I mentioned
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Pierce Brosen and Zach after the break. Remind me to
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: tell you what Piers Brosen's up to. Your ABC six
