Oh. Hello everybody and welcome one more year to Alamoni Tony's Vali-moni-shoni. This is the day after Valentine's Day. And as always, I've gathered with a handpicked selection of some of my wonderful ex-wives to just chat about love, loss and everything in between, which I guess is life. I think it starts with love, then life continues,
Starting point is 00:03:30 and then you lose life, you're dead. And you'll probably know that voice, making those little noises. It's me. That's right. Are you gonna give me an introduction? Yes, of course I am, dear. Now hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:03:46 First of all, I think everyone who listens to the show, of course, knows you already. But you are my third ex-wife. Lucky number three. That's right. And who could it be but Belinda Rogers? That's right. Of course you can call me B or Linda,
Starting point is 00:04:01 but Belinda's fine as well. B or Linda. B or Linda. Now it used to be just Linda, but you've's fine as well. B or Linda. B or Linda. Now it used to be just Linda, but you've added B. I like B. I think in my older age, B's more fitting. When did you add B? Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Belinda was already taking too much time. Linda was taking a little too much time. B, we get to it. That's right. Who do you need? B, I need B. I want B. Get over here, B.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Have you thought about changing your name to just Brogers? Well, I have now. Okay. It's Brogers. Brogers. Well, thank you as always for being here every year. It's so nice to see you. Of course you don't look, you haven't aged a day. I don't know how you do it. Maybe you're bored with it.
Starting point is 00:04:48 But for people who are listening for the first time, Belinda Rogers, excuse me, and I used to be married, but I also used to be married to many, many, many people because I'm just a hopeless romantic. I fall in love easily, quickly and deeply. But they have it all worked out. I'd like to think we're all special though, in our own way. Well, of course you are. I don't mean to apply that you're interchangeable.
Starting point is 00:05:12 You're all different. And I married you all for various wonderful reasons. But it didn't work out. Do you wanna name a few of the reasons you married me? Just to give examples. I liked, here's what I liked about you. And it's still true today, as your real girl boss. And I liked that you were-
Starting point is 00:05:31 Stay in line. No, stop it. That's right. All the things bosses say. Stop it. You were type A, as they say. Organized to the max. Where's my to-do list?
Starting point is 00:05:44 I like to say you were type negative A, like you were ahead of A. You like that? I love it. Oh, you love- It's the kind of thing that got us going during our marriage. That's right.
Starting point is 00:05:56 And our marriage lasted, one of my longer marriages lasted two years and we had a real good time, I think, for a while. For a year and a half. And good time, I think, for a while. For a year and a half. And then that last six months, boy. It wasn't my fault. No, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:06:14 It very seldom is. My fault. Your fault or the fault of my Correct. Various other ex-wives. And yes, I've had a few. I'm in the high thirties now of divorces. Is it high 30s now? Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:30 And why don't you know the exact number? Well, I've heard you refer to it before as high 30s. Is it 37, 38? It's almost like being embarrassed of your age. I don't like to put the exact number on it because- Then it must be 39. It's 39. Yeah I'm on my 39th divorce. It's being finalized as we speak. I can do it by DocuSign now, which is great And that's that has saved me a lot of time and then allows me to get right to the part I love the most which is paying alimony. Oh boy. Do you love it? I love it. You love it. Why do I, I,
Starting point is 00:07:07 Rogers, I puzzle over this all the time because I, I know the joy that it gives me. You won't even do direct deposit. You love signing the check. I love signing the check. You love a paper check. And you know, I have a different pen for each wife. You hand deliver them every month to each person. Yes, yes, yes. If I can. Sometimes I'll do a task rabbit. But mostly I stop by in person. Yeah. Yeah. And for me, it's a great day. I'm driving around and I'm delivering. You dress up. I'm doing a little dance. You're skipping around. You're dressed up. You've got the mail in your little bag.
Starting point is 00:07:42 That's your satchel that's thrown over your shoulder. I bought a mail truck just to do it. And I wear my own uniform of my own design because I don't want to be accused of stolen valor. Excellent touch. I love the uniform, by the way. Thank you. That only came into play just a few years ago and I think it's a great touch. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I hope you notice this, but the stripe doesn't go down the side of the leg, it goes around the thigh. And I think that is- It's a stand out. That's so people know, oh, he's just having fun. He's having a bad moment. Right. And so you are still, thankfully,
Starting point is 00:08:18 you are still accepting my alimony checks. Oh, of course. And even though you don't, let me tell you something folks. Rogers, the last thing she needs is any man supporting her. No, I have my own business. You have your own business. And tell folks about that.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Well, I'm an event planner. Yes. But I only do funerals. That's right. I saw a hole in the market and I thought, I'm going for it. And you decided not to call yourself a funeral director. No, no, no, no, no. That's so passe. That's so passe. Besides, a funeral directors, they just plan the funeral. I do from beginning to end.
Starting point is 00:08:53 And I'm not talking about the life. I'm not there for the birth. No, you're not visiting people, new parents in the hospital saying, okay, I've got some brochures. Although, although if you pay ahead of time, you do get a discount. So that is something to think about. Which I have. Yeah, yes. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:09:09 You fixed me up with a nice package and it's almost like I can't wait to die. You got the works, the works, the works. Yeah, I went for the works, which is it's called in the brochure. And it includes a minimum of three celebrities to give a sincere toast at your wake. And it's a surprise who the celebrities are.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Exactly. It's a surprise when they show up. Yes. Which is really for your loved ones. Oh yes, absolutely. Absolutely. You know, I do the party afterwards. I even do the reading of the will. What I like to do for that is I call in the lawyer, I call in the people that are on the will,
Starting point is 00:09:42 and then I have a few surprise guests. You don't know who's getting what or if you're getting anything. So you have people show up that may already not be members of the family. Who knows? Only I do. Only I do. And sometimes these people are dressed
Starting point is 00:09:54 like a fanciful costumes. Let's make it fun. I think one time you had a man in a gorilla suit there. Uh-huh. Yes. And who actually turned out to be a son-in-law and he was left, I think, $1,000. And I only had him speak gorilla while he was there.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Just to keep character, you know? Keep character. This is the number one, it's the golden rule of event planning, especially in funerals, keep character. Absolutely. Ah! And do you have any big funerals happening right now?
Starting point is 00:10:27 Oh boy, do I. I mean, you always do. Yes. Who's dead? I have, do you remember our old neighbor, Maggie? She wasn't old then, but old neighbor, previous neighbor, Maggie. Maggie Peanuts?
Starting point is 00:10:41 Yes, Maggie Peanuts. Guess how she died. Are you, no, brodress. Are you gonna tell me? Would I joke about that? She choked on some peanuts. She did. Should have seen it coming, but none of us did.
Starting point is 00:10:56 None of us did. She would gobble those peanuts. She stopped chewing them. She'd just swallow them back. She'd just shell and everything, just throwing them back. She would put a peanut on her tongue and then take a glass of water and say. Kids from around the neighborhood would gather around
Starting point is 00:11:11 just to watch her do it. It was a whole circus. Those kids were flabbergasted. Oh, Maggie, Maggie. Yeah. Maggie, Maggie. I can still hear them. I know.
Starting point is 00:11:20 The backwards baseball caps and the skateboard. Well, you can't hear them anymore because she died. Oh, oh, I bet the kids. We don't hear the kids. We don't hear the kids. She died. Oh, you can't hear him anymore because she died. Oh, oh, I meant the kids. We don't hear the kids. You don't hear the kids because she died? Yes, they're not calling for Maggie. They're not calling for a ghost. I thought she took some with her.
Starting point is 00:11:35 That would have been hilarious if she did. So Maggie, by the way, so Maggie. Maggie hated kids and she often said, I wish murder was legal for children. Maggie. She was a hoot. She was a real hoot. She used to have those dinner parties. And I remember that. And she served peanuts.
Starting point is 00:11:54 And she served peanuts. Everything was made out of peanuts. Peanut butter, peanut brittle. A peanut loaf. Oh God, the peanut loaf. Oh, the peanut loaf. God, if I could get my hands on that recipe. Well, you probably could, right?
Starting point is 00:12:09 Well- Can you rifle through her stuff? How does it work? I mean, actually, since I'm in charge of the funeral, I have access to an entire home. That's right. All her belongings. Yes. And you can always say it's for the ceremony. What if you read it out at the ceremony
Starting point is 00:12:22 and said, here is the peanut loaf, or if you've got somebody famous to do it. Yeah, I'd rather, you know, I don't like to take part, it just, that feels like it's crossing a professional line. Of course. If I take part of the, I mean, obviously I'm there to mourn our friend and celebrate her life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Which is why, which is my whole, you know, goal when I'm planning these events. Yeah. Celebration. Yeah. But I think that hiring someone to sing the recipe, you know what, this is just coming to mind. Who would it be? Like a fat boy, slip? Well, I'm sorry. Am I not looking at a professional singer?
Starting point is 00:12:55 What? Now you know that I am. Right eye to eye with a professional singer? Rogers, you know the last thing I have is a professional singer. Oh, well you are to me. Well, you of all my wives always appreciated my singing voice, which I think is, I could carry a tune. But of course I love, as you heard in the opening,
Starting point is 00:13:13 I love to write song parodies. I'm just learning now that they are parodies. I thought they were original. Oh, you thought they were the regular songs? They're original? Oh no, I feel terrible. Why not? I feel like I've actually lied to you.
Starting point is 00:13:24 What a talent, what a talent, I was married to. So you thought I was writing all these feel like I've actually lied to you. What a talent, I was married. So you thought I was writing all these songs? I did. And I thought, what a clever man. I mean, that's why I fell in love with you. It's actually nice to hear now that that's not the case. Yes. Because it really separate, oh, that was a good decision,
Starting point is 00:13:37 you know, to divorce him. Right, right, right. He's not an original songwriter. Yes, and all the songs are about paying alimony. And I'm sure that was a red flag at some point. Yes and no. Yes and no. Okay, walk me through yes and no. You know, working in the business that I do and working with different celebrities, stars, performers, I looked at your professional singing career as you were playing a character. And that character liked playing alimony.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Because remember when we were married, there were only two previous wives. That's true. You know, so is three make a pattern? I don't know. I don't think so. It does. That's exactly what makes a pattern. Well, sure, one could say that.
Starting point is 00:14:22 But I mean, when you're in love, you ignore the red flags and I don't like so I mean if there were ten and maybe I'd say hey should I look into that 39? Okay, maybe beware but you know three I was a girl in love, you know Babe Ruth's number which Number was number three. I didn't know that I'm a huge Babe Ruth fan. I know, you don't really care for baseball, but you are a huge Babe Ruth fan. Well, for his other hobbies and, I mean, he was a-
Starting point is 00:14:53 Pouring and drinking, yes. Yes. Yes. Getting syphilis. Yes. Yes. And did he do it well? He really did.
Starting point is 00:15:01 He do it well, yes. He really did. I think he still has the record in the major leagues for most syphilis gotten. Well, Brajesh, I'm so happy that the business is going gangbusters and it's not surprising to me at all. But what do you say we welcome some of our other guests? And I don't think you've met any of these ladies. I am so excited to meet the ladies
Starting point is 00:15:26 who we share so much in common. So much? I mean, one thing, at least. Oh, that's enough. That's enough to make a best friend. Sometimes it is. I mean, you know, who, what was it? Was it fast fashion who said people are people?
Starting point is 00:15:42 All right, we're going to bring in, It was a fast fashion who said people are people. All right, we're going to bring in, this is an ex-wife of mine. We're gonna, this is a right smack dab in the middle. This is a number 16, this is wife number 16. And her name is Jody Casarelli. Jody, what a pleasure to see you. Oh, Tony. How have you been, darling?
Starting point is 00:16:08 Oh my God, is it just me? I feel like the energy is palpable. Oh my God. I feel, there's something that's so magical when I get together with some of the ex-wives and just gonna stroll down memory lane and I'm so excited to watch them meet each other. But Brony, Brony, sorry, Brodgers.
Starting point is 00:16:27 You're thinking of me because I'm a Brony. Exactly. Oh my God. How could I, I was practicing in my car all the way here just to say hello to you because you are a girl boss and the boss of all of our house. Oh thanks, stop it, don't. I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:16:44 She loves to hear it, She loves to hear it. Oh my god. Oh, she's gorgeous. She's gorgeous. She's gorgeous, isn't she? How did you let this one get away? Well, things didn't work out. What did happen with us? Because we were married for three months.
Starting point is 00:16:56 And I want to say the first two and a half months were heaven on earth. Oh, it was like a vacation away from real life. And then I needed a vacation from my vacation. Sorry. Sorry to say it. That does happen. That does happen. We grew apart. I want to say two and a half months and one day in. And and we just wanted different things. It's true. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:17:20 I wanted you to be more hands on. And you did not want to recognize the invisible work. That's right. That's true. I wanted you to be more hands on and you did not want to recognize the invisible work. That's right. That's right. There was a term that was new to me and I thought it was made up. I thought, well, things are not invisible. That's from H.G. Wells. And it took me years to understand
Starting point is 00:17:38 what you were talking about. And I want to say, I know I've said it before, but I want to say it again. I'm sorry. And I wish I could have been a better husband to you. That say it again. I'm sorry, and I wish I could've been a better husband to you. Tony, I can't stay mad at you. Oh my God, that's gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:17:50 You can if you want, but I'm glad you don't. No, no, no, no. It's all water under the bridge. I was actually just thinking about the day we met. Did you say you were sexually thinking about it? That's what I heard. I was. I was sexually thinking.
Starting point is 00:18:04 It's kind of like a mindful meditation. It's like, I'm gonna get my sex zone now. I've heard of this. I've heard of this. You have? Yeah. How long are you meditating for when you're- Oh, 30, 45 minutes.
Starting point is 00:18:16 And this is as I'm driving. This is as I'm operating the bus that I drive. Like just, you know, I'm picking and choosing. Yeah. I remember, and of course, driving a bus is what you wanted to do. And, uh, I, I just, I couldn't see it. I just couldn't see it. I thought it was, I thought you just had a, it was a pipe dream, but I thought she's never going to be able to ride, drive that bus. And, uh,
Starting point is 00:18:39 and then you did it. You did it. You sure showed me. Thank you so much for acknowledging that because do you remember I would support all of your dreams? Oh, absolutely. 100%. Every pipe dream. Every one of my pipe dreams. Do you remember I was going to build an underground tunnel from here to the bank? So I didn't have to take surface streets to get new checks because I constantly have to refill my checkbook.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Yeah, exactly. And so I thought I want to spend that time picking out a background picture for the checkbook. I don't want to be driving waiting on red lights, so forth. And you said you could do it, Tony. And of course, I couldn't. And legally, there's so many things you're not allowed to do. No, you're not. No. Zoning and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:19:28 So much zoning. But you made good use of that space. You had what the murder mystery there. Yes. I had the murder mystery hole where I would invite people over and I would say, let's get this hole. And I would say, cover the hole, there's been a murder. But then there actually was a murder, which was not what you were expecting. No, it certainly was not what I was expecting. The lights went out and one of my guests just lost it and just started swinging a knife around.
Starting point is 00:19:56 And it was a butter knife, but really did some damage. And yeah, I moved away from that house because I felt like, you know, bad, bad, bad memories. Yeah. But also, you know, just the way you would be like, um, Joni, my friends are coming over. There's 12 of my closest, most judgmental friends. You need to, you know, get a dinner together.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And that's what I meant by the, by the invisible work. Right. Right. Oh, no, I see that by the invisible work. Right. Right. Oh, no, I see that now, of course. Right. Of course. And you know, me, if I'm going to throw a dinner party, I'm going to do it right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Well, the one dinner party that you did throw during our two and a half months together, well technically three, was a glorious affair. And I remember, I thought, am I one of these salons from the roaring 20s Paris? Everyone's so, they're positively glittering, these people. And they were all bus drivers. Yeah, that's what I wanted to show everyone. Like the ideas that you have about bus drivers, it's not real.
Starting point is 00:20:56 We're actually very classy people. Absolutely, absolutely. Now did they take a couple of your belongings? Yeah, but ultimately a good night, no? Do you think they a couple of your belongings? Yeah, but ultimately a good, a good night. No. Do you think, do you think they took some of my belongings because I was in some way insulted, insulted them?
Starting point is 00:21:13 You were being a little braggy. Was I really? You were being a little braggy. What, what was I saying? You were just like, Oh, I don't even care about these things. I got 12 of each of them. So they said, mom, we're not. You know what?
Starting point is 00:21:30 And they were right. I don't blame them in retrospect. Seems like you were asking for it, no? I think I was asking for it. But I remember the wine was flowing and I was deeper in my cups for sure. Okay. And at one point I think I remember,
Starting point is 00:21:44 the last memory I have of the evening is drinking a bottle of olive oil and saying, you can just drink it. It's good. You went to with that. You went to with that. What I loved also was that your friends, the bus drivers, were all wearing their dress uniforms. Oh, yeah. They they put their darks on. Yeah. Yeah. They put their darks on. They know, they said if we're going over to Tony's house, this is going to be where we show out. They put their buses in park.
Starting point is 00:22:18 They each drove their own bus. And as you said in the E-Fight, you said it's going to be limited space. And yet those guys were doing wheelies in the parking spots and you know. They were doing wheelies in the parking spots. Just on two. Two wheels. Two bus wheels. I've never seen the like.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Oh, the lawn was ruined, but that night it felt so magical. It really did. Can I just say, brothers, when I looked at Tony's eyes that night, I felt like he actually saw me. Did you feel like that in your marriage? For the first year and a half, absolutely. He's got those eyes.
Starting point is 00:22:57 It looks right into your soul. Oh yeah. So people say that I don't have bedroom eyes, I have living room eyes. Because people can see, I look at you like we're gonna spend a life together. Oh my God, I'm sorry, I'm taking back, I'm going to my sexual space again, I guess. Oh boy.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Are we meditating? Are we going there? We can do a group med after the show. Oh yeah? I love that. Oh no no no no. Oh no no no no no. Oh no no no no. Oh no no no no.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Oh no no no no. Oh no no no no. Let me ask you something. How is the busing going? What's new in busing these days? Oh, I was mandated to stop. Why you were mandated to stop? I was mandated to stop. Who issued this mandate? Oh, the school districts. Yeah. Oh, so you switched over to school. I did school. Yeah, I did public for a while, then school. And I did a little bit of flair cause the kids liked it in the bus. And they said that was illegal and it was dangerous. So I, um, I just got the bus out there. You know, sometimes I let some kids hang out in there smoking weed cause I'm kind of cool
Starting point is 00:23:58 like that. Um, but, um, yeah, those days are over. So the, the, I guess some of the parents got wind of this, they went to the school board. And you've always been a proponent of marijuana legalization. Always. For as long as I've known you. Always. Get them out, I say. Get them out.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Yes. And I think at one point you said it should be mandatory. I said, if there isn't a dispensary by your school, then what are you doing? Exactly. Put THC in the water supply. Exactly. We're going to put fluoride in there. Why don't we relax everyone? Exactly. Chill out, everyone. Chill out.
Starting point is 00:24:33 And so, and so what do you, now, since you're not driving the school bus, what are you doing? Well, you know, that space under the house. Yeah. I'm doing my own murder mystery. So you've stayed, you've moved back into that house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:49 When did that happen? Well, cause you know, you were giving me all those checks and I said, oh my God, these have really piled up. I'm gonna get myself a space. And that one was on the market. And it was so cheap probably because of the murder that had taken place there. Cause you have to disclose it.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Yes, and then it brings the price way down. You know, you have to disclose it. Yes. And then it brings the price way down. You know, you have to disclose it, but you don't have to act it out, which I shouldn't have done. That's a shame. I shouldn't have done it. That's a shame. I said it was like this,
Starting point is 00:25:13 and then I turned the lights on, started to put a knife around. And so you're hosting now Murder Mysteries. I am. And it's all done with ambiance. So I'm doing a lot with lighting, I'm doing a lot of scents. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:30 And one of the characters. What are some of the scents you do? Well, one of them is based off of you, Tony. No. You've put me in the Murder Mystery? Mm-hmm. Well, this is, should I be flattered? Of course, of course.
Starting point is 00:25:44 That's everyone's favorite. Is it really? So what happens with the Tony character? Well, I turn off all the lights, make sure there's no knives in there, and then I just spray a bunch of Aqua to Gio. Yeah, that's my signature scent. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:58 I still wear it. And then I do just a couple of loud breathing noises. I do. Just like that someone's sleeping in there. Oh, I see. So slow, steady breathing noises. That's right. And so the lights are out and then the guests, what did they do?
Starting point is 00:26:15 Oh, they're so confused at the beginning. They say, where are we? Why does it smell like this guy? And then I turn all the lights on and said, there's been a murder. Oh my word. And then I describe what you were like in the relationship. And it's tough to get the crowd going
Starting point is 00:26:33 because they're happy that the characters said it first. And then- The character based on me. Right, right. Right. Well, she talks about the relationship. So of course, then they're like, oh, kill him. You know what I mean? So there's a guy there who is essentially me
Starting point is 00:26:46 and then you say, here's what our relationship was like. It was bad. And does he say anything or does he just pretend to sleep? He's pretty much just there. Yeah, he just stays there. Well, actually you might know him. Who is it? It's Chris.
Starting point is 00:27:02 You're kidding me. It's Chris Dunk. Chris Dunk? It's Chris Dunk from the local high school. Chris Dunk're kidding me. It's Chris Dunk. Chris Dunk? It's Chris Dunk from the local high school. Chris Dunk is playing me. Yeah. Chris Dunk, the science teacher. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Is he still teaching science? I heard he was defrocked. Because he tried to slip some creationism in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's defrocked, but I'm giving him a nice paycheck and I let him sleep on the couch sometimes, so he's doing all right. It doesn't sound like he's doing all right. No, he's fine.
Starting point is 00:27:36 He's gonna sleep on the couch sometimes. Is he genuinely asleep as part of the motor mystery? Oh yeah, absolutely, absolutely. He's got his little, you know those old peanut butter jars? Yeah. Oh I know them. Yeah. Yeah, I know those.
Starting point is 00:27:55 You do? Yeah, those old peanut butter jars. Yeah, well. Absolutely. Well he'll just eat a full one of those during the show and it knocks him right out. And you know what else? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:28:07 What do you say you know those little peanut butter, George? You mean just George the peanut butter? Okay, so he'll eat one of those. You copy that? Copy that. Okay. And so that knocks him out. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:19 How does that knock him out? Does he have like a small allergy to peanuts? Oh yeah, which is interesting that your neighbor Maggie peanuts. Yeah. Yeah. It's I don't know why he does it to himself but it makes him sleep and he does it real crazy snore.
Starting point is 00:28:33 And then for months afterwards, he'll just drink water out of those empty peanut butter jars. He's doing great. Does he? He's well. Does he fully rinse the jars out? No, no, no. Ah, that's what I was afraid of.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Anyways, I just wanted to say, the years with you, Tony, were gorgeous. I learned a lot about myself and the Pound Trees. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, here I go again. Jonah, come on, you're wonderful. I don't deserve this. If I could do it all over again, I know I would be different, I'd be doing that transparent work,
Starting point is 00:29:13 and I would be a better husband to you, and I'm sorry that I wasn't. Oh my God. Can I give you a hug, ex-wife? Oh, look at this, it's wonderful to see. Yes, girlfriend! This is, they're actually doing it. Well, why wouldn't we?
Starting point is 00:29:29 I just said I wanted to give her a hug. Not a liar. I'm done. This is for the listeners. Yeah. Just narrating. I'm sure they believed that we were doing it. Well, I just filling the silence.
Starting point is 00:29:41 If I say I'm gonna give someone a hug, I'm giving them a hug, so you stop it, don't. Do you feel, stop it, the boss says. Do you think this is why we got divorced? Because you always called me a liar. That's one of the reasons, yes. I don't know that I actually called you a liar. You always insinuated that I was lying.
Starting point is 00:29:59 You interpreted that I insinuated you were lying. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't interpret anything. Okay, you insinuated. Right, you inferred that I insinuated you were lying. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't interpret anything. Okay, you insinuated. Right, you inferred that I insinuated that you were lying. This is what I'm talking about. How many words do we have to say that start with I? The message is the same.
Starting point is 00:30:14 You intuited an inference. No. Stop it. Oh, the boss has spoken. Well, Joni, thank you so much for being here. You can stick around, right? Yeah, of course. Oh, fantastic, because we have more guests to introduce.
Starting point is 00:30:27 This is an exciting time always. Next up, this is wife number 27. We were married for six and a half months. And I'm happy to see her again. We haven't seen each other in a few years. Yeah. Lizzie Giaccheroni, that's right, that's my last name. She's kept my last name.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Yeah, sue me. I won't, I mean, we did technically sue each other, that's why we're divorced. We sued for divorce. But I'm certainly not, I'm flattered that you took my name and you kept it, I'm very surprised. Well, I didn't want to keep my own. Right. And why was that?
Starting point is 00:31:07 Well, I'm looking to start a new life and I wanted to start a new life kind of my whole life and the opportunity to change my name came along and I thought, okay, this is a great opportunity to start a new life. So at that point I basically decided to start a new life. Okay. So new life underway. And Lizzy, why was it that you've always felt that way that you wanted to start a new life. Okay, so new life underway. And Lizzie, why was it that you've always felt that way that you wanted to start a new life? When you say you've always wanted to start a new life,
Starting point is 00:31:29 like how far did you get in before you said, I gotta do this over? I think as soon as I gained sentience, I wanted it to just... What? Yeah. When does that happen for a brother? Is it toddlerhood is when you're sentient?
Starting point is 00:31:43 I mean, I remember being able to kind of comprehend that I was a person within a few hours of being alive. I know that's not normal. Wow. I know that's not normal. No. But that's sort of where I started. That's where I started feeling bad
Starting point is 00:31:57 about sort of what was going on with me. Because you were hungry, you were sleepy, you needed your diaper changed. There was so much that was out of my control. I mean, that's why babies, we don't want them to be thinking about these things because if you really think about it, it's miserable. It's pretty bleak.
Starting point is 00:32:13 So yeah, I felt sort of trapped and then I felt trapped for a long time and then I met you at the Sephora counter. That's right. And I... He loves Sephora. He loves... First of all, hi.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Hi. Roger, of course. Love Sephora. He loves, first of all, hi. Roger of course, Lizzie. Another gorgeous one. Oh. I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you. You know how to pick them. It just happens that way.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Brown hair, brown hair, brown hair. They're all gorgeous. It just happens that way. And by the way, not a natural brunette. I'm actually- Did you know this, Tony? Tony, did you know? I had my suspicions, but it's being confirmed right now. Wow.
Starting point is 00:32:47 My hair is actually really dark brunette, naturally. I guess you've lightened it. I'm all about transformation, looking different. That's right. That's why I mean, that's why I was immediately, they wanted me to work at Sephora. I sort of just walked in and I looked so unique that I got a job on the spot at the makeup counter.
Starting point is 00:33:04 They said, this girl's gonna do something to everyone. I sort of just walked in and I looked so unique that I got a job on the spot at the makeup counter. They said, this girl's gonna do something to everyone. What a prophecy. This girl's gonna do something to everyone. And dare I say, I think you have achieved that. I think because you are, I think the only famous Sephora employee in the world. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:27 For theft. People that you get for theft. Yes. You stole so much from Sephora, not just Money for the Register, but also products, samples. Shelves. I, my house is full of Sephora shelves and you won't believe they make amazing book shelves, especially when you actually paint like the sort of inside panel of it. Yes. That's a pop of color. Love a pop of color.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Beautiful. Beautiful. Yeah. And do you put the products on the shelf or do you use them as bookshelves as you say? I mostly use them as bookshelves. I have a massive magazine collection. Yes. You love magazines.
Starting point is 00:34:00 That's my favorite kind of book. And you never threw it away? Never. You never threw it away. You'd leave the ads in there, the little postcards, the perfume samples. You left the magazines intact. I love a stinky magazine full of perfume. What are some of your favorite magazines?
Starting point is 00:34:15 I love Golf Weekly, but only because of the fashion. Absolutely. I love a polo. And a skort. Can't get over a skort. I love a skort, except for skort. And get over a skort. I love a skort. Except for when I have to pee. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:32 I tried wearing skorts for a little bit. Because of Harry Styles. You look amazing back in the 90s. Well, back in the 90s though, you did it first. I did it first because of Star Trek The Next Generation. And I remember they tried to justify the mini skirts from the 60s by having some of the guys wear little skirts, they're like,
Starting point is 00:34:51 see, everybody can wear them. And I guess they'd stop doing that after the first episode. Oh my God. You looked great in them, by the way. Well, thank you. Great pair of legs. I'll give you that. I've been blessed with a good pair of legs.
Starting point is 00:35:04 I love a guy in something tiny sure Sure, let's see speaking of lovely guys. Are you have you remarried? Have you moved on we we've lost touch I mean, I'm still sending you the checks But I well, of course and I always will for as long as you for as long as as we both shall live as they say Until God is wisdom separates us by death. Oh, wow. That was beautiful. And that's the way you always talked, and I love that.
Starting point is 00:35:27 I love that. No guys really talk like that. Yeah. But actually, now I haven't remarried, which is so funny, because I'm actually, I'm gonna go on Love Island. The television program. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:38 You're gonna go. I have not seen that TV. That's a TV show? It's a television program. Love Island. Do they go to an island? I'm assuming. I haven't seen it myself, but I also have that assumption.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Can you confirm? Hot singles from all across the world gather in a casa where they have the opportunity to fall in love with people who are so different yet so alike from all of them. So it is, the purpose is to find love. It's Love Island. You're going there to fall in love with people who are so different yet so alike from all of them. So it is, the purpose is to find love. It's love island, you're going there to fall in love. And I just love the idea of being in a big house of people who are so hot and will hopefully fall in love with me for my various traits.
Starting point is 00:36:19 So you want multiple people to fall in love with you. Well, fingers crossed, one would be boring. Right. True. I guess I can attest to that. But one at. Well, fingers crossed. One would be boring. Right. True. I guess I can attest to that. But one at a time. One at a time. Just so people know.
Starting point is 00:36:31 I never started a relationship before the first one ended. No, you are not a cheater. I can say that for sure. Not a cheater. I was invited to appear on the show, Cheaters, and I said, sorry. I can't do it. You said, I have nothing to give. Sorry, Tommy. I can't do it. I have nothing for the show, Cheetahs. And I said, sorry, I can't do it. You said, I have nothing to give. Sorry, Tommy, I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:36:47 I have nothing for the show. That's right. It's so cool that you were honest about that because so many people are desperate for screen time. Yeah, I guess I never really craved the limelight except for my music parody videos, which still to this day, the only views are mine on YouTube. I just remembered their parodies again.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Unbelievable. In the intervening minutes you have forgotten and now it's a- Well, when you think something for so many years, absolutely. Hard to change that thought. Very true. Kind of adjusting a worldview on the fly,
Starting point is 00:37:24 which is a big deal for her. You could acknowledge. I. Thank you. Thank you so much. I love, I'm total girls girl. Lizzie, you're right. Brajesh, I see you and I hear you.
Starting point is 00:37:36 And I feel seen and heard. Thank you. Gracias. Indubitably. Oh, there it is. Another cool, awesome word that you take out of your hat.ably. Oh, there it is. Another cool, awesome word that you take out of your hat. So Lizzie, what do you, what do you, are you definitely going to be on Love Island?
Starting point is 00:37:51 Well, okay. So I was trying to get on Love Island US and they said that I am a security risk because of my Sephora incident, which as we know is disputed in the courts by me representing me. And so I'm trying to do Love Island British, but I actually don't really know the language that well. So I'm just trying to familiarize myself with- The language of Great Britain? The culture and the language of Britain.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Right. I believe they speak English. But it's different. Like it's a different culture. They have an accent. Some words of course are different. When they talk, culture. They have an accent. And some words, of course, are different. When they talk, I have no idea what the fuck they're saying. So to me, it's a completely different language.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I will give you that. The British people on reality shows are inscrutable. You have no idea what they're saying. They go, get back at me off. And I go, what did you just say? I have no idea. Yeah, exactly. But why do you want to do all just say? I have no idea. Yeah, exactly. But why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,
Starting point is 00:38:47 why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, like a Shakespeare comes to town or something like that. I'm kind of watching that stuff. Oh, like station 11. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Yes. Why don't we cut right to that where the costumes are made out of cardboard. I would go see that. You know what I mean? Costumes? Yeah, in Shakespeare. Oh yeah, I mean, look.
Starting point is 00:39:15 What did you think I meant, Lizzie? I actually had no idea what you were talking about. So. Oh, that's fair. Because if you haven't seen station 11, it's meaningless to you. Yeah. Yeah. But I wanted you to Eleven, it's meaningless to you. Yeah. But I wanted you to agree,
Starting point is 00:39:26 because I wanted you to feel supported. Do you think this is why it didn't work out with us? Because I pretended to know about stuff that I don't understand or something else. No, just communication. Because I could have communicated better what I was seeing in my mind, and I didn't do a good job.
Starting point is 00:39:41 And it puts you in an awkward position, because you don't want to sound dumb. So you just say, yes, absolutely. Yeah. And then- I was agreeing to a lot of stuff that I didn't know a good job and it puts you in an awkward position because you don't want to sound dumb. And so you just say, yes, absolutely. And then I was agreeing to a lot of stuff that I didn't know what it meant. But here's what I think is wonderful, Lizzie, and it makes me so happy is that you then had the courage that so many of us don't have to say, I don't know what you're talking about. And that's growth because I wasn't doing that when we were together. Like you said, let's get in a moose bouche.
Starting point is 00:40:04 And I literally thought we were going to like a park. Yeah. But we were just going into the kitchen. We were going to the kitchen. So imagine my disappointment. I think I'm getting on like a fucking Ferris wheel or something. And then we're just going to the kitchen,
Starting point is 00:40:15 holding a plate. Those were your exact words. Yeah. And imagine that's happening like 300 times a day. That's worrying. Yeah. Is that, would you say that was what happened? It was 300 times a day you were misconstruing things
Starting point is 00:40:31 and saying that you understood them? Yeah. Oh, that's a lot. It's as if you were speaking the language of Great Britain to her. You know, she didn't understand. Oh. Wow. She was not bilingual.
Starting point is 00:40:45 This is. In the Tony language. You should be like doing therapist. You should be doing therapist because this is dare I say, illuminating. Well because I plan funerals, I'm very connected emotionally to people. Because people are crying. They're cursing and screaming. And then there's sometimes there's a celebration you think, whoa, why are you celebrating? Why are you happy?
Starting point is 00:41:06 Oh, it's mixed emotions. You can't judge grieving, but enough about me. Unless it seems clear that it's a murder. So Lizzie, you feel that you have grown as a person and now you're no longer misconstruing things 300 times a day. I'm still misconstruing everything, but I'm really good at being like, I don't get it now.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Okay, so you do still say yes first. I say yes. And then you say, hold on a second. Just kidding. Right. Just kidding. Don't know what's going on. Don't know where I am. Don't remember anything. I think just kidding is a great way to phrase it because it takes the tension out of everything. You know what I mean? Just kidding. I didn't understand that. Just kidding. Just kidding. I'm lost. You know what I mean? Just kidding, I didn't understand that. Just kidding, just kidding, I'm lost. By the way, other wife, bus driver, gorgeous, stunning. Love everyone here.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Jodi, this is Lizzie. So nice to meet you, honestly. I think I may have seen you at Sephora because I was working at the mall at that point. Did you see a picture behind the counter, baby? Oh yeah, that's what it was, that's what it was. I wish I could get my hands on you and give you a cat eye. Really?
Starting point is 00:42:09 You would look amazing with a massive cat. Think Amy Winehouse times a hundred. Basically my face. Cat eye basically down to your ankles. Well, everyone says I couldn't do that because I had a hooded eye. No, no, no. We're giving you a cat eye that goes all the way down
Starting point is 00:42:25 to your back, becomes a tramp stamp of a little butterfly. Oh my God, I am awakened. Oh my God, that's hot. That's incredibly hot. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Lizzie, have you ever been on a bus?
Starting point is 00:42:39 A bus? Yes. To the best of my knowledge, nowhere near. Do you know what a bus is? Just kidding, I don't know. Okay, a bus is, you know cars. Yeah. The bus is the tall one of those that's very long.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Okay. Yeah. Can you see it in your mind? No. All right, see, that was so fast. Thank you. I actually don't really have a mind's eye. People always talk about a mind's eye, like I see it in my mind's eye
Starting point is 00:43:01 and I actually don't really have one. You can't imagine things. No. You know, this makes sense though. What happens when somebody says, you know, like if you shut your eyes, can you picture what I look like? I see black.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Just black. Yeah. Darkness, cave. Cause I didn't even know that was abnormal, because people were talking about like, you close your eyes and you see stuff. And I was like, you mean black void, but you're kind of thinking about some way. And they're like, no,
Starting point is 00:43:27 like you see something. I was like, oh my God, that's missing in me. But you used to, I understand now because you used to talk about your dreams. And, uh, for what, for what I gather now, you never had a dream. No. Uh, I think I have like goals. Right. But when you go, when you go to bed, sleepy time. Oh, no, I don't think so. Right. Which is fine. It makes sense now because you would say like, Oh, when I went to sleep, uh, I, I was on the moon and I worked at Sephora and no matter, you would just,
Starting point is 00:44:03 basically you would just say, I went to sleep and you would name an exotic place and you would say, I worked at Sephora. And basically you would just say, I went to sleep and you would leave it an exotic place and you would say I worked at Sephora. I worked at Sephora, yeah. Well, I mean, I think it's also kind of nice because my reality is my dream. Oh, that's very profound. And I think it's aspirational.
Starting point is 00:44:18 How so, what is that? I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it...
Starting point is 00:44:25 I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it...
Starting point is 00:44:31 I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it...
Starting point is 00:44:38 I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... I think it... Well here's what I think aspirational implies,
Starting point is 00:44:46 sorry for an I word, that you could definitely achieve it. There's a way to do it, whereas a dream is like, you know, wouldn't that be nice? Love Island is like an aspiration because it has to happen or else. Wow. I guess, yeah. Cool, I think I understand.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Let me ask you this, Lizzie. If Love Island doesn't work out, is there any other aspirations that you have? Well, I guess fingers crossed if it doesn't work out, I'll be at the bottom of the ocean with cement tied around my ankle. Ooh. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Lizzie, that's bleak. I didn't see that coming at all. I didn't see that coming. I thought the ocean, the island, I thought we were, the island, I thought we were going to maybe she wanted to find love and just another sort of piece of earth that wasn't connected to the rest of the earth.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Maybe she would find a merman. Yeah, something I thought was gonna get exotic. She was gonna wear the cement overshoes. No, that's kinda it for me, yeah. It went straight to suicide. Love Island or bust. Yeah. Do you have to make a video to submit?
Starting point is 00:45:45 I wouldn't say that. Yes. I, I don't. You do have to make a video. I don't want to interrupt, but if those are the only two options, I do want to speak to you afterwards in case you want to buy the works plan.
Starting point is 00:45:55 If that's something you're planning now to possibly. Oh! Like, towards the bottom of the ocean. I want to be buried in a thong and nipple tassels and open casket and anyone can take a photo. I want a big camera above and anyone can take a photo of me. Wait, so you want to be drowned by having your fetus case submit, going to the bottom
Starting point is 00:46:11 of the ocean, but then you do want an open casket funeral. To be clear, I don't know that I'm going to drown. I might get on my violet. So in that case, I could die anyway. Right, right, right. But yes, if I'm sort of waterlogged, blow up in the ocean, I still wanna be in my little thong and my nipple tassels in the castle.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Oh, my wish. Go to British and then live in a castle. Go to British. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Tony, you've been to British before, haven't you? I've been to British, I've been in a castle. Imagine I meet a prince on the house in the casa. If you meet a prince on the house, I hope that happens. I hope that happens, I want that for you. Someday my prince will come, what's that from? That is from, I think Sleeping Beauty maybe?
Starting point is 00:47:00 Snow White? Snow White. Awesome. She is, Snow White is a domestic person who just sweeps as far as I know. And then a witch. Like a nurse. A witch. No, nurses are healthcare practitioners. Do you know what that is? Practitioner? Yes. No. Someone who does a job. But here's the thing. I'm remembering what was so fun about being with you
Starting point is 00:47:28 is I felt like I was learning so much and like none of it sticks. Right. But it's so fun in the moment to be like, oh my God, that's what that word means. It's amazing that someone who has vivid memories of being an infant doesn't seem to have object permanence. Ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha? Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! I don't know, maybe the brain just stopped developing. Maybe it did.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Well. Now wait, you said, speaking of Love Island, about the tape, you have the tape with you? I have it probably somewhere on my phone, because that's where I took it Okay, let's take a look at it. Okay Want me play? Yes, please Hello bombshells, my name is Lizzy just kidding
Starting point is 00:48:17 I'm from you guessed it America But I am studying so hard looking for absolute romance and the biggest kiss basically of my life, hopefully with a prince, maybe even more than one. And if I could get that, then I would be so happy. And if not, I literally have hired someone to kill me. So you should put me on the show and I will try my hardest to be as beautiful as I can be and as awesome as possible.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Please pick me. And also I'm willing to do pretty much whatever and I'm gonna straighten my hair for it. That is a dream. That right there is a dream. A tour de force. The energy. Let me ask you, you say you're willing to do whatever.
Starting point is 00:48:56 What are you implying? Basically like any kind of drug, crime or sex acts. Okay. Joni, I think when the options are get on the show or, you know, tie yourself to cement and sing to the bottom of the ocean. Well, she's going to hire someone. Well, either way, you are willing to do whatever for the first option. True.
Starting point is 00:49:16 I mean, I don't see that as a surprise. The surprise was that she was willing to tie herself to cement and go to the bottom of the ocean if she didn't get on the show. But now that we know that. I'm unclear as to the purpose of this interjection. No! You seem so, okay, fine. But it seemed like you were. You seem so shocked that she was willing to do anything
Starting point is 00:49:36 to get on the show when she had just told you it was the show or suicide. Well, I wasn't, I mean, I don't think that I was shocked. I just asked, well, what did that mean? Okay. I mean, this is exactly what our marriage was like. I mean, it was so obvious to everyone else, was it not? Was it so clear what happened here?
Starting point is 00:49:49 I can imagine that I was shocked. Oh, wow. Oh, as he looked in his thesaurus because he just needed another I word. I love my thesaurus. This is the kind of drama that just makes me laugh. I obviously love it. It just makes you laugh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:08 I'm laughing. You guys are so smart and so funny and have so much chemistry. It is, we undeniably still have chemistry. I mean, this is how, what used to lead to. Oh yes indeed. Going into the kitchen for an amuse-bouche. All right, we have to bring in our final guest,
Starting point is 00:50:26 and I'm so excited to have the whole gang here, well, the whole gang, but the whole gang for the show. Could fit 39 in one room. I mean, that would be, if only you did, the only event you planned was not funerals, because what a party that would be. I wish I could, but I am strictly funeral. Now, if one of the wives died,
Starting point is 00:50:47 we could work something out. You know, I only have one ex-wife who died and she died immediately after signing divorce papers. She walked outside, was hit by a bus and no offense, Jodie, and I never got to pay her alimony. She was the one that got away. Okay. What number was she?
Starting point is 00:51:12 That was number 17. 17 with a bus. All right. We're gonna bring in a final ex-wife for the episode. This is wife number seven, lucky number seven, and so pleased to see her again. We have not seen each other quite some time. Please welcome Rhonda Rhoda.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Rhonda, hello, dear. Hi, Tony, it's so nice to see you. It's so nice to see you, Rhonda. How are you getting on? Are you eating enough? Yes, I am, yes, I am. I eat three squares a day. Oh, good news. Yes. I miss you. I am. Yes, I am. I mean, three squares a day. I miss you. I miss you too, Rhonda. It's so wonderful to see you.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Let me take your cane. Oh, thank you. It's cold in here. It is cold in here. I'm sorry. It's so cold. I mean, I'm okay, but I understand that you would be a little chilly. Your skin is very papery thin. Yes, it is. Get a blanket or a heating pad. Oh, thank you darling.
Starting point is 00:52:07 You have such beautiful skin. She's giving her a blanket and a heating pad. Look at that skin. That is all the skin. I'm seeing so much skin, just young skin. Thank you. Now Rhonda, I hope you don't mind my saying, but you are my oldest ex-wife.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Yes, I'm probably the one that's gonna die soon. You're not gonna wanna give me the works, okay? And we shall talk. And we shall talk. Rhonda, don't say that, don't say that. 85 years young. There was quite an age disparity when we got married. Yes, I was 65 when you married me.
Starting point is 00:52:41 That's right, and I was significantly younger than I am today. He doesn't want to say. I don't want to say. But I am a man of a certain age. Are you eating enough? I am eating enough, yes I am. Too much sometimes. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:52:56 We gotta fatten you up. I don't, no come on, I have an amuse-bouche every night. Oh, I remember you and the amuse-bouche. You were the one who taught me Amuse-moosh. I did. I taught you all about old things. Yes, I didn't know. I just lived in a world of modern things,
Starting point is 00:53:13 Betamax and so forth, and you told me about classy and classic things that I didn't know about. That's right. For those of you who don't know who are listening on this, what is it? A podcast? It's a podcast. Podcast.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Oh, look at me. I'm on a podcast. Wow. This is a thrill. We met when I sang back up on one of your first parody songs. That's right. Remember? Yes. Which song was that? It was a parody of Amore. When divorce hits your eye like a big pizza pie, alimony. That's right. I can't believe you still remember.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Oh, I remember them all. Let's see, we did Michael McDonald's, What a Fool Believes. That's right. Yeah. We did Michael McDonald's, What a Fool Believes. That's right. Yeah. Uh, Alamoni, Tony always plays alamoni. Oh, that was one of my favorites. That was a jam.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I remember somebody telling me Michael McDonald himself heard it and loved it. Well, you sounded a whole lot like him. I tried, but that turned out to be a lie. He had never heard it, of course. But the other Michael McDonald loved it. That turned out to be a lie. You sounded a whole lot like him. I tried, but that turned out to be a lie. He never heard, of course. But the other Michael McDonald loved it. The one from Bad TV? The one from Bad TV.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Yes, he did. Oh, he was a fan. He loved, or did Stuart love it? Stuart didn't like anything. He was a mean little kid. That's one thing that Tony and I did. We sat down together at 11 o'clock or 10 Central and watched Mad Town. Just checking in with our friends Bobby Lee and Pat Gilbane.
Starting point is 00:55:00 That's what he means when I said I introduced him to the class. That's right. Ike Barinholtz. Now Rhonda dear, how are you doing? Well, I may not look it, but I'm thriving. Well, you look like you're thriving. Hang on a second, I do have to take my pills. Oh my God, that's quite, now that's, talk about it. You might wanna cut to commercials.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Talk about those old Peter Potter jaws. Close to 100 pills. Oh, I love those. Oh my goodness. You heard him. And I heard someone talking about that. Oh, that got me so excited. Rhonda, this is Jodie.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Hello, darlings. I've heard so much of you. Oh no. Of you. I have heard so much of you. So much of me. Well, I feel like you're all my daughters, really. I always did want a son, which is why I think it maybe didn't work out with the two of us. That's right, because I didn't want children at all. I was always taking his temperature and trying to get him to eat and reading them stories.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Do you still have those pajamas I crocheted you? I do. I've put them on a mannequin. And I have a room in my house that's a sort of a hall of divorce. And I have a little memento from each of my ex-wives in there. Anytime you have a piece of clothing you don't want to get rid of, you put it on a mannequin. Anytime you have a piece of clothing you don't want to get rid of, you put it on a mannequin. That's it, what? What'd you say now? Anytime you have a piece of clothing you don't wanna get rid of, you put it on a mannequin. That's right, I hate to waste things. Yeah. How many mannequins do you have now?
Starting point is 00:56:30 Oh. Gotta be like 50 in there. Yeah, a little higher. Really? Yes. 51? Yes. Are you ordering them in bulk, getting a discount?
Starting point is 00:56:40 I should, I should. Because it is cheaper than the shipping. You sometimes can get free shipping if you order a dozen of more mannequins And are you sticking to the mail form or are you doing both? I'm doing both. That's nice doing both. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I'd love to see it sometimes come by any time. I've been there in years Rogers. You're welcome to come by anytime You won't even recognize the place. Of course, I've moved back into that home. This is the home that Rogers and I share together.
Starting point is 00:57:10 New house for each wife and I've kept them all. And when enough time has passed, I'll move back into the home. Ronda, I've lived in the home we share together about five times now. You've lived there five times? Yes. You're kidding.
Starting point is 00:57:28 I'm not kidding. And I have fond memories of you and the way you used to mother me. And I remember the big chair where you used to have me sit on your lap. Yes, we lived in a lighthouse. Yes. And I'm surprised you've been there five different times.
Starting point is 00:57:43 I suppose they just can't get in. I thought they would have turned it into a, what are they called? Air? Air B and B. B and B. B and B. B and B. That used to be bed and breakfast in my time. What does it stand for now?
Starting point is 00:57:56 Air B and B. One of the B's has probably been bugs from number five. Shots fired. Tony was always so quick. That's what I just loved about him. But I am doing fine. I will tell you, I am finally closing down the one woman show that for the last very many years, Tony has been the benefactor of all all about our relationship and my other's,
Starting point is 00:58:29 till Tony do us part. And I ran that for the longest time. They gave me a back corner of the Shakeys and I had such lovely fans for so long. But I think it's time to hang up the leotard if you will. Yes. And you did the show in a leotard. Sure did.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Yes. And you played, if, correct me if I'm wrong, but you played 17 different characters. I did. I played 17 different characters. I played myself. Of course. I played Tony. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. I can't do it anymore because I'm getting old. No, I'm shaking. That was crazy. That was uncanny.
Starting point is 00:59:10 That was awesome. It is like listening to a mirror. Mm-hmm. And then I played, well, I played people in my family and other people that I dated. And then I do, and then I play all the characters of Gone with the Wind. That was just for fun. I remember Ashley Wilkes bringing the house down,
Starting point is 00:59:31 people, not a dry eye in the shakies, and people were crying into their extremely thin pizzas. And I remember there's one little lady that was... Moved to tears of hysterics. You know, some of my best shows were birthday parties for the five-year-olds. They really got into it. Absolutely. They really did. Sometimes the kids would think they were at a Chuck E. Cheese.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Yes. Because there was pizza and then there was a show. And then you... Because of course, you would do the robot. There was a very old robotic person in the corner moving back and forth and that was me. The subtext of the show was, so the scene of the show was, it was a robot from the future that was recounting your life.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Yes, that's it. Isn't that extraordinary? I came up with that. It's extraordinary. And you used to do it with silver paint, but then you had an allergy to it. I used to do it with what? Oh, silver paint. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:23 That's right. Silver paint. And I did have a bad allergic reaction to it. I used to do it with what? Oh, silver paint. Yes. That's right. Silver paint. And I did have a bad allergic reaction to that. And I was in the hospital for a time and Tony came and visited me every day. That's right. He did. Brought me flowers, brought me my checks.
Starting point is 01:00:37 And I do have to say, I do love all of the backgrounds that you spent so much time choosing. Do you all remember when he did that Mount Rushmore and every month one of us would get on it and there were four, but there's so many of us, you'd hope and hope and hope. And I made it when I was in the hospital and that's when I got mine. How can I not?
Starting point is 01:00:57 That took a lot of legal wrangling because you, it's technically not allowed. First of all, Mount Rushmore is protected. And secondly, to have a different picture on every check is, it's expensive. When you got away with it, because you called it Mount Wifemore, right? That's right.
Starting point is 01:01:16 I said, no, no, no, you don't understand. This is Mount Wifemore. Clever. Thank you, Rogers. It was so clever. You're always so clever. You still are clever. Well, I hope so. It was so clever. You always so clever. You still are clever. Well, I hope so.
Starting point is 01:01:26 I hope so. As I enter a certain phase of my life, I hope I still have all my marbles. As you do, Rhonda, you're still, despite just seeing the blue underneath your skin, you are still very, dare I say, spry. Sharp. Sharp as a tack. Thank you. You are a sandwich. You haven Sharp as a tack. Sharp as a tack. Haven't missed a step.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Will you please eat this right now? You are not eating enough. I shouldn't eat it on a microphone, but I will take this for later. Thank you very much. It's peanut butter. I know, of course it is. From the jar.
Starting point is 01:01:56 From one of those jars. Can I have that afterwards? And you, of course, cut the crust off. What's that? You want the jar? I'm just wondering if I could have that. Yeah. For Mr. Dunk? Chris Dunk, yup. Is he staying at your want the jar? I'm just wondering if I could have that. Yeah. For Mr. Dunk?
Starting point is 01:02:05 Chris Dunk, yep. Is he staying at your home right now? I don't want to say. He's doing great, she said. 10 out of 10. Now, can I ask a question about your and Rhonda's relationship? Yes, please. The risk of overstepping. I think we're all curious. There was this mother-son relationship going here. How was the sex?
Starting point is 01:02:28 Awkward and uncomfortable. Frequent? Too frequent, yes. Interesting. So, went the other direction than I was expecting. Okay. There was a lot of, I remember, and I hope this is not a gentlemanly to disclose this, but there was a lot of, during the act, Rhonda saying, there, there. Oh, comforting.
Starting point is 01:02:48 It's nothing wrong. It's not that we started, I would give him a bath. Come on, right? Ah, ah, ah. Mm-hmm. Oh, wow. In the kitchen sink. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Oh, wow. Well, because it's so precious. But you know what, I did love the smell of that baby shampoo. There's nothing like it, it's good. All that baby stuff, baby powder, it all smells good. Babies already smell good. Why do we need to give them good smelling things? Baby shampoo.
Starting point is 01:03:12 You were my baby. Yes, and I would call you baby was a different connotation. And it took me a while to realize when you were calling me baby, what you meant. Sure. And I thought it worked really well. When we would have fights, I put him on the time out. He sat on the stairs and he just had some time to think about it.
Starting point is 01:03:35 And then we moved on. I thought it was wonderful. I gave him stickers when he did something nice. That's why you have all those stickers. That's why I have all those stickers. She sends me, when I send her an anomaly check, she sends me a sticker in response. Isn't that lovely? It really is.
Starting point is 01:03:49 And I send them a little note that says, good job or have a good summer. She's still- It's lovely. That is romance. Oh my God. There was also a sort of a high school classmate aspect to it.
Starting point is 01:04:01 More like a teacher student thing. A man. It was complicated. It was very complex. Probably in the end, it's best that it ended. That's right. Can I just say you're so stunning and I love a crack at your makeup after, well, this too. Well, my makeup is lubriderm, honey.
Starting point is 01:04:23 That's all I got on my skin. Well, great glisten. And I want to give you a smoky eye and Marilyn Monroe dot and a red lip. Oh, I love that. And a which was the last? What? A red lip. Oh, a red lip.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Wet red. Wet red? I don't know what that means. Well, matte's dry. You don't want a matte lip and it's out. Matte lip is dry. Wet lip. Oh, those terms.
Starting point is 01:04:50 I really don't know. You want a soaking wet looking. Back in the day, we would just dig down on the farm to the dirt that was red and put that on our cheeks to try to find a mate. Clay. Yes, his name was Clay. That's all. Oh, I love him. He was my one true love. He was before. Yes, his name was Clay. That's, oh, oh. Oh.
Starting point is 01:05:05 I love him. He was before me. He was my one true love. He was before, oh. Oh, oh. Shots fired, part two. That's fair, that's fair. I mean, Clay was before my time.
Starting point is 01:05:15 It didn't work out for you, it didn't work out for me. I mean, look, let's be realistic, we're all adults here. Tony, do you have one true love out of the 39? The one that got away, the one that you wish you could do over? I feel like I love you all equally. If I have one true love, it is paying alimony. I love it. I love it.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Don't get me wrong. I never sabotaged any of my relationships with you. I wanted them all to work out and I did the best I could with the tools I had at the time. You've been broken up with every time. You've never broken up with anyone. That's correct. That's correct. I've never initiated a divorce.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Is that something that you wish you could do? Is that an aspiration of yours? Is that a dream of yours? Maybe that's the one thing you need to do to end it. Then you don't have to feel. If you just love alimony, you've got plenty to pay, honey. It's true. But the more I get to pay, the more I enjoy it. But look, again, I want to reinforce.
Starting point is 01:06:18 I am not sabotaging these relationships. I always think it's going to work out. It never does. I never instigate the divorce. But I am hopeful that one day it's going to work out. It never does. I never instigate the divorce, but I am hopeful that one day it's going to work. Copy that. How quick is the turnaround time between marriages these days? Oh, it depends.
Starting point is 01:06:36 I mean, sometimes it's a couple of weeks, sometimes it's a month. I don't think that's long enough. I think that's your problem. Do you want them to, so then wait a minute. You don't want to sabotage them, but you also love paying alimony. The more divorces you have, the happier you are.
Starting point is 01:06:50 So how is this possible that you're not sabotaging it? Cause don't you really not want to stay married? Do you ever want to stay married? I do with every fiber of my being. That's all I want is to settle down with someone, spend the rest of the years that I have on this earth, making someone happy and then making me happy and creating a nice little home like the first 10 minutes of Up.
Starting point is 01:07:10 I've been meaning to check that out. Everybody says that is such a funny movie. It's hilarious. I love comedy, like all the Central Roast type stuff freaking kills my ass. They all stare on that pit and basically make jokes about celebrities of modern culture. Like that's freaking awesome. I like it. I like, I mean, what's, what's really funny is that the people don't know the person that they're making fun of. And it's just a random collection of people higher
Starting point is 01:07:46 that have nothing to do with that, the one person's life. And it's all for us. I feel like they're like, Comedy Central is like that little boy from the Omen who is jumping out the window and he's saying, it's all for you. The little boy doesn't jump out the window. I was a young woman. Yes, a young woman, yes.
Starting point is 01:08:03 The nanny jumps out the window. That's right. Wow. They young woman. Yes, a young woman. Yes, the nanny jumps out the window. That's right. Wow. They should have known then, right? That something was up. If she said, Damien, this is all for you. She killed herself out of nowhere. Then there was that dog.
Starting point is 01:08:15 I mean, there were many, many. Now speaking of dogs, I was gonna say to you, perhaps you should get a dog. Everything you just described, you can do with a dog. I thought about it, but I don't get dogs. Do you know what I mean? Like people seem to love them.
Starting point is 01:08:31 What's to get? What do you do with them? I mean. Walk them, feed them, hug them. Love them. Pass. Oh yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:08:40 You know you didn't like walking when we were married either. You hated walking. Well, because we would always get into a fight. No, you didn't like walking when we were married either. You hated walking. Well, because we would always get into a fight. Because all you did was talk. I wanted to go for walks. I wanted to enjoy the outdoors, the trees, what we were looking at.
Starting point is 01:08:56 I wanted to be in peace and quiet, meditate, if you will, walking meditations. I'm sure you're familiar with those. Sexual walking meditations. Yes, I wanted to do that. And all you wanted to do was talk. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Right, because you insisted that I be there.
Starting point is 01:09:10 No, but that is a good point. Now I'm thinking about how when we, it's almost anytime there was exercise involved, sex started a fight. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, everything. Yes, which also is exercise in its own way. It's true. I count it, I enter it into my log.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Yeah. When I'm doing my steps. Textual intercourse, 50 minutes. You know when he's cooking his frittatas? Talking the entire time. You're not gonna say you don't like my frittatas. I love the frittata. The conversation before.
Starting point is 01:09:39 That's right, okay. It's the journey to the frittata that's exhausting. Yes. That's the whole point of the frittata is the journey. Well, don't include us in it. Just, you know, have us go do something else. Don't just let us listen. I'd be in another room.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Get over here. I'm doing a frittata talk. I don't need to be there. I tell you, one thing I don't miss all those frittata talks. It's frittata. And I wanted to include you in something that was very important to me. Now look, I don't wanna get into old,
Starting point is 01:10:09 litigate, relitigate old arguments. This is wonderful for me to have you all here together. And I like that you're getting to know each other. I guess I should always see it coming that of course. What you did bad for XY, so they complain about you. Every time I do the show, Every time I do the show, I forget that that is a potential thing that could happen that the four of you would then talk about
Starting point is 01:10:31 the problems with me. But it does happen every single time. But I would, I guess I prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't.
Starting point is 01:10:43 I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer that it didn't. I guess I would prefer want it any other way. I guess I wouldn't want it any other way. You all have your own strong personalities, you're your own people and I think that's wonderful. And it's a shame that none of the people that you are liked the people that I liked. But look, that's life. That's what all the people say.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Now, Tony, you're single now. Yes, I am. Would you like to, would you like to be married? I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean. But look, that's life. That's what all the people say. Now, Tony, you're single now. Yes, I am. Would you like to tell the listeners
Starting point is 01:11:10 what kind of woman you are looking for? Well, I like a brown hair, obviously. Honk, honk. Bunch of brunettes here. You know, it's funny, because I keep dying, and only for you. I know I need to keep being brunette. I can't do it. I just don't want to do it. Gray hair. I know it's a big deal.
Starting point is 01:11:28 It's done on a 20 year old, but you have a good texture though for your hair. You have a good texture. I think you could pull it off. You think? Yes. You're old enough to know, Marianne Hartley. I saw her in a law and order. She's still dying her hair red. We went to preschool together. Yeah. Come on, Marianne. But her hair red. Yeah, come on, Mariette. But red-haired people, they're very,
Starting point is 01:11:48 I asked a redhead one time, one of my wives is a redhead, and I said, do you think having red hair makes you a little bit special? And she said, yes. So it's true. They all think it. They know that they're outliers. I think you would like to date another redhead.
Starting point is 01:12:08 You just got a gleam in your eye when you started talking about it. Maybe I would just to mix things up. It's been a long time. I haven't been married to a redhead since 1997. The scort ears. The scort ears, cause we call them now. Yeah, maybe I, she doesn should have to have red hair, but if she does, that's a bonus. But, uh, you know, I'm looking for somebody who's, uh, who's, uh, uh, you know, strong willed, but easy going. Opinionated, but amenable.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Yes, exactly. Someone who is inflexible but likes to do whatever. I'm here for the party. I don't care, but also I only want to do this. That's right. Taipei, but I'm a total mess. Yes, yes. Serve me anything to eat, but I only want the cheese.
Starting point is 01:13:03 Now what astrological side is that, would you say? Gemini. That's Gemini, because of the two? Mm-hmm. Two-faced. Two-faced. Two-faced. Do you think Geminis are two-faced people?
Starting point is 01:13:14 That is the symbol for Gemini. Oh, okay. They're two personalities. So that's the person that can be like, I only want this, but also whatever. You know, that's kind of what it is. How is that allowed in a sign? Well, that's why no one likes Geminis. I think the sign should just be, this is your one characteristic, the end.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Well, no one likes Geminis, that's why. Because they get to be... Is that true no one likes them? Please. Oh, I didn't know it was an oh please. I don't know if I'm sure that I know a Gemini at all. Who do you not like in your life? Oh, don't say me.
Starting point is 01:13:44 My daughter. Oh, don't say me. My daughter. Oh, thank you. When was she born? This is Madeline. And you two have never gotten along from what I understand. Nope. Is that why? Because she's Gemini?
Starting point is 01:13:58 She's Gemini. But also, I think the real reason is she's Clay's daughter. And when you see, when you look at her, you just see the relationship that you lost with Clay. Well, Tony, I don't need you to be digging into my heart right now. Well, I don't- I appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:14:13 I'm just hoping that that will free you of some of the disgust you feel from Madeline. The sheer contempt. Well, maybe I'll take a peanut butter jar over to her tomorrow. Well, speaking of peanut butter jar, it's time, I'm going to bring it out here. We always, we love this segment. It's time for a peanut butter truth talk where everyone has, I have put a bunch of questions on slips of paper in this peanut butter jar.
Starting point is 01:14:53 And I have reached it out. Sorry. Sorry, Doug. So who wants to go first? Well, I can start. All right. There we go. There's that type A that we're talking about. The boss. The boss. Stop it. So I just take a piece of paper out of this jar and I read the question? Yes.
Starting point is 01:15:08 And then we all answer it. Oh, okay. We go around and we all answer it. It's about you? Not necessarily. Oh. It's just a question about life? These are questions that whatever I think of a question, I write it on a slip of paper
Starting point is 01:15:19 and then I put it in the jar. Oh, that's news to me. I started doing this three years ago. Oh. Okay. Look at your handwriting, still the same. Yes. Who is your favorite baseball player?
Starting point is 01:15:33 I feel like this was for me. Did you write this one for me? I did not, I don't write, these questions are not written with anyone in mind, they just pop into my head. Well, obviously, Babe Ruth. Yes, you love him. I love him so much. Hate baseball, love him so much. Hate, could not hate the head. Well, obviously, Babe Ruth. Yes, you love him. I love him so much.
Starting point is 01:15:45 Hate baseball, love him so much. Hate, could not hate the sport more, but you love Babe Ruth. The amount of memorabilia I have of Babe Ruth. You just love looking at that. Jerseys, baseballs. Mashed potato of a face. Tell you, if I could describe my main man, my dream.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Your dream man is Babe Ruth. What? That's it? That's it? Two words, my dream. Your dream man is Babe Ruth. Two words, Babe Ruth, that's it. Twenty-five year old looks like he's 70. It shows that he's been through something, you know, experience. And that's a man who could handle being married to an event planner. Absolutely. That plants funerals.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Oh, if only he'd live long enough for event planning to be a thing and then he could have made that dream come true. All right. Who was to go next? For me, it's Sammy Sosa. Oh, Sammy Sosa for me. Oh my God. I love a man with a sturdy trunk and I just love the idea of him running so fast and no one's gonna be able to stop him, not even a brick wall. Ooh. Good choice, Jordie. And Rhonda? Well, I wasn't gonna say anything,
Starting point is 01:16:52 but a young Rhonda was taken out by a young babe a very, very long time ago on a summer's eve. Oh. Now you must have been very young at the time. You know, I was not jealous that you were married Oh, now you must have been very young at the time. You know, I was not jealous that you were married to my ex-husband, but this, this has brought up a jealousy I've never felt in my life. Why didn't go any further than that date? Well, I was young. You are right. I was six years old.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Maybe the police intervened. What it was is I just wandered into a bar and they gave me a candy, but I like to think of it as a date. He was probably so drunk he said he got a stool and thought you were an adult. He thought you were tall. Babe. Or you had weird legs.
Starting point is 01:17:36 So babe. He called me honey and I just thought, well, that's just it. That's all I need. I can die now. And then I didn't and I still haven't. Here, I'm gonna read this question. Okay. Oh Honey Now this one just says
Starting point is 01:17:51 Why am I like this? When did you write that Oh, I probably wrote that this morning Well, what were you referring to I don't know I'm telling you these these questions pop into my mind and my first thought rather than answering the question is to write it down and put it in the job. I think you should answer that one. Okay, you want me to go first? Sure.
Starting point is 01:18:16 Why am I like this? I guess my parents had a wonderful marriage and so I've been chasing that dream, the dream of their marriage. They did get divorced, but they never let me see them fight. When they would fight, they would speak in Italian in normal conversational terms. Which father are you referring to that your mother had this wonderful marriage to? Anthony. Okay, because you have two fathers. That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 01:18:47 And they both lived in the house at the same time and neither one of them would tell me which one was my biological father. And you didn't think it was Anthony considering your name Tony. For the longest time I did not consider it was Anthony. I thought it was Francisco. And, and then finally on Francisco's deathbed, when I was eight years old, he said, I have left an envelope somewhere in the house
Starting point is 01:19:11 that tells you who your real father is. And then I found it at my college graduation. We had a reception at the house. Where was it hidden? The envelope? It was behind a door that I never, I thought that's too obvious. You had never looked behind doors. You had seen the envelope there before,, I thought that's too obvious. You had never looked behind doors.
Starting point is 01:19:26 You had seen the envelope there before, but you thought that's not it. I thought it would be like in a lamp or, yes, exactly, I was looking for secret passages. I never thought it was just sitting there on the floor. Right. It's a marvel, it wasn't thrown away. No, he didn't even tape it or anything.
Starting point is 01:19:41 It's just lost it. I think he warned my mother and Anthony that- None of the housekeepers threw it away? Everyone left and Anthony. None of the housekeepers threw it away. Everyone left it there. None of the housekeepers threw it away. They must have been instructed. They must have been instructed, yeah. So I think that I'm trying to make that come true for me
Starting point is 01:20:00 to have that kind of relationship. But I also have never learned to speak Italian. So maybe in some way I'm trying to communicate something to myself. Maybe you should date an Italian lady. Oh, no. Okay, I am gonna take that personally because I am both Italian and a Gemini.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Well, now I'm Italian. What the fuck? Of course I'm Italian, hey. Sorry. Jordan, Jordan. Mangouin. I'm Italian. What the frick? Of course I'm Italian. Hey. Sorry. I got hot. I ain't going. I'm going to have to bleep that. You'll barf me up a friggin' river.
Starting point is 01:20:29 Hey, Tony! I don't care. Tony, you're making me do all this editing now. Sorry. Yeah, because I'm Italian, it's just disgusting to me and I have no desire. I've noticed it's like looking at, I don't wanna see something that represents me across the breakfast nook. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:20:48 Well, it's interesting. You never spoke Italian. You don't know the language. No. When you used to get upset, you would kind of mumble in that sort of Italian as if you wanted to have a man. Yes, you became it.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Do you know what I'm talking? Yes. Ah, yeah. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah. It's exciting. Yeah, you know. There's no problem with what we're doing, right? Yeah. No, uh, uh. Uh, uh, uh. Speak study. Yeah, you know. There's no problem with what we're doing, right?
Starting point is 01:21:06 Yeah. No, not at all. Okay. I am Italian. Yeah. And he used to do it all, it's as if your body wanted you to speak. You would just kind of yell out.
Starting point is 01:21:13 No it does, but I refuse my body that luxury. So it tries, it tries to outwit me. Watching someone have to hold the Italian in is something else. Yes. I've only seen it twice in my life. Sometimes you feel like the Incredible Hulk. I've only seen it twice in my life. Sometimes you feel like the Incredible Hulk. I've only seen it twice in my life.
Starting point is 01:21:26 It's like volcano. You mean like a volcano about to erupt? Or a movie volcano. No, like a volcano. When the volcano holds in the hot. That's right. Holds in the hot. He definitely holds in the hot.
Starting point is 01:21:41 Like Malfusuvius. Okay. Famous Italian volcano. Do you know what that is, honey? No. Speak up for Okay. Oh. Famous Italian. You know what that is, honey? No. Speak up for yourself. That's right. I don't know what that stuff.
Starting point is 01:21:50 All right, would anyone else like to answer the question, why am I like this? No. Pfft. Fair enough. Can I pick one? Well, yes, we have time for one more. I love pulling stuff out.
Starting point is 01:22:00 Okay, well, what are you? You love pulling stuff out. Because if there's something in something else, you like the process of taking it out. Yeah, like a snake in one of those little jars that comes out. I remember you liked match boxes a lot. I love match boxes.
Starting point is 01:22:14 But you never lit the matches. No, I just love taking the match out, hand me the match, you do the thing, and then I smell it, the candle. Okay, the question is, what is your favorite target location? That is such a good question. I guess I like the one.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Oh, it's a, what is it? It's it's. Sepulveda. Yes. The one on Sepulveda. Every time the dollar section in the Target at Sepulveda, I damn near faint every time I walk. And excuse me, you'll have to bleep that out as well. But I think strongly about this.
Starting point is 01:22:53 Sorry. When they made it a two story, I thought, well, but then when they added in that dollar section, they really took it to another level. And I think it's interesting that they don't have a Starbucks in there. No. But instead. They don't need it. They.
Starting point is 01:23:10 They don't need that crutch. I mean, I always felt like that. But they have a space for where the Starbucks would be. Just to say, hey, we could have done it. We don't need it. With a literal sign that says not coming soon. Nope. Nope.
Starting point is 01:23:24 Nope. It's a weird, it's a wild flex. Why would it? I love it. I done it. We don't need it. We don't need it. With a little sign that says not coming soon. Nope. Nope. Why would it? Wild flex. I love it. I love it. Starbucks space never worn. Yeah. Sad story.
Starting point is 01:23:35 Ed, how about yours? Mine? Yes. My favorite Starbucks location has to be the one near my house because I- Target, target dear. What? Target. Target.
Starting point is 01:23:43 What did I say? Favorite target location. Oh, okay? Target. What did I say? Target location. Oh, okay. It's on the piece of paper that you're holding. I just, I was getting so swept up. I love the Target near my house also because I like to walk places
Starting point is 01:23:56 and I actually fell asleep in this Target a couple times. Everyone was really nice to me both times. Oh, that's very nice. Yeah, so I love it there. Where did you fall asleep in the Target? Well, one time was in the clothes section when I was trying on all the stuff because that takes a long time.
Starting point is 01:24:11 Yeah. And I got all tangled up in a string bikini and I just got really tired and I fell asleep. Oh, my gosh. Do they have dressing rooms at Target? Yeah, they do. They do. They're terrible. I thought it was just you waited there, you grabbed something off the rack and that was it. I think Target? Yeah, they do. They're terrible.
Starting point is 01:24:25 I thought it was just you waited there, you grabbed something off the rack and that was it. I think that's what most people do. It's been the most bad action. I love the dressing rooms at Target because there's not a lot of people monitoring and so it's really easy to shoplift. Oh, don't say that on the microphone.
Starting point is 01:24:38 Just kidding. Have to bleep that out as well. No, I think that fixed it. Legally, just kidding. Jodi, favorite Target? I'm going to have to say Westlake. One of the mini ones. I love not being able to get everything I need. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 01:24:58 It's almost like a CVS. It's not even really a Target. It's so misleading. The one thing that you're looking for, it's not in there. They're out. If you need a bottle of 409, not in there. If you need a notebook, nope, out of luck.
Starting point is 01:25:12 Posterboard, sure, but not a notebook. It's like they're reading your mind. They know what it is and they hide it from you. It's amazing. Well, Target comes to me in the form of a young man named Justin and he delivers exactly what I need and he always finds it. And he is working for his masters and I'm so proud of him.
Starting point is 01:25:30 Oh, that's fantastic. We have a little discussion every day and I can't recommend that Target enough. He's not hard to look at either, I have to say. Oh, it's not like that. He's not my son. Okay. And now we come to Brodris. For target location? Did you say target location? She did, she agreed with you on Sepulveda.
Starting point is 01:25:57 Oh, you kicked it off with Sepulveda. I apologize. How could I not? All right, well, and speaking of apologies, once again, I apologize to each and every one of you for not being the husband that I needed to be. And I want to thank you for remaining in such cordial terms with me and for accepting my alimony checks, even though none of you need them.
Starting point is 01:26:17 You're all doing wonderfully well by yourselves. And I couldn't be, if I may, if this is due presumptuous, I couldn't be prouder of all of you. And I think it speaks somewhat highly of me that any one of you were my wife for even a little bit. Well, isn't that the sweetest thing? You know, we just want you to be happy, I think, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:39 You've made us happy with the money. I did not get a verbal confirmation. This is like being on the airplane. I need you to actually say you want me to be on the airplane. Yes. Johnny. This is why I'll never marry another Italian. Well, thank you all for being here.
Starting point is 01:27:00 Any, anything you'd like to. I'm doing my farewell show. I just shake it's a final one. So if y'all want to come out, I can give you a comp. So I'm really going to try to paper the house. I think people are going to come out for that. I mean, the farewell show, people have to come out for that. Maybe I'll live stream it.
Starting point is 01:27:24 Oh, that's fun. Would that be fun? That's a thing, right? Yeah. Okay, I understand. I'm with you. I say things, I'm not quite sure what I said. So we're peacing apart.
Starting point is 01:27:34 Gotta get you that Marilyn Monroe dot, I swear to God, for that show. Oh, I'd love that, honey, if you could come and do my makeup for her. HMU, free of charge. Don't know what that means. And just a ringing wet lip. Honey, if you could come and do my makeup for me. HMU, free of charge. Don't know what that means. Just a ringing wet lip.
Starting point is 01:27:46 And okay, Lizzie. I would like to plug basically, like I'm kind of just trying my best. I'd like to plug that. That I'm basically doing, and if I end up being on television, And I like to plug that. That I'm basically doing, and if I end up being on television, obviously you can check that out on any TV
Starting point is 01:28:11 or something like that. Any TV. Basically, I plug myself. You can't plug yourself. You can't, who's going to plug you? That's right. Lizzie, truer words were never spoken. All right, and we turn to Jodi.
Starting point is 01:28:26 Well, I just wanted to plug that I'm not driving for the money anymore, but I would love to bring industry to your show and you gals too. I would love to drive. The murder mystery industry. Oh, a crossover you're saying. Oh my God. Girls, and I don't want to take your title away,
Starting point is 01:28:47 but it seems like everyone here is a bit of a girl boss. Oh, well, I'm not sure she liked that. I'm sorry about that. Delete. You can't just throw out that. She was shot fired. She was putting on a brave face, but did not care for it. I didn't hear anyone else tell someone else to stop today.
Starting point is 01:29:04 So, I'm not sure. Stop it. Ah, bossettes maybe. All right, and best to Chris Dunk. Rogers, what would you like to plug? Well, I mean, I don't even need to plug my event planning. This is obviously, it's doing so well. Yeah, well, where can people find you?
Starting point is 01:29:22 If they have a loved one or even a hated one who's dead? Where can they find you to throw the big farewell party? Let's partay in the afterlife.com. So awesome. And partay with two A's, right? It's actually E with an accent over it. Accent a goo? with an accent over it. Accent a goo?
Starting point is 01:29:42 A cough. A cough. Yes. Accent. Yeah, you can't call deletes, Jodie. Come on. Which I know when I first was naming my business, you strongly suggested the AA,
Starting point is 01:29:57 but I just feel like the E with the accent is, it gives it more spice. It's classy. I don't know which accent does what thing, but I do know how to remember the E with the accent is it gives it more spice. It's classy I don't know which accent does what thing but I do know how to remember the names which is a accent agoo agooing up and accent grav in the grave Now isn't that interesting Tony because you should know which accent is which because accent agoo is in fiance
Starting point is 01:30:22 Which you've had mold in your fair share. That's so true. That's so true. And accent British goes like this. Well, on that note, before we get under the covers and watch it together. My idea Watching tangerine. I just watching tangerine which was entirely on an iPhone. I've been needing to see it
Starting point is 01:31:02 We're making a big big bowl of truffle popcorn and we're gonna watch Tangerine as a family. All right, I'd like to thank my engineer, Scott, for the work that he does on this podcast when I'm not around. He is exceptional, by the way. He's all right, he's all right. And the last thing for me to plug is of course,
Starting point is 01:31:26 we're the Bode Alamo de Tony on YouTube. I have over three dozen song parodies that I have spent, I've made videos for a quick personal experience. I would love to get the view count up to two on even one of them. So please do check those out. Speaking of song parodies, I will close it out with this one.
Starting point is 01:31:51 Hit it. ["The Time Is Now"] Look out the calendar, another month goes by. I know it's time again and hope my pen's not dry. I sit down at my desk and I get prepared. My gaseous paper money simply must be shared. Divorce agreements bind me but I can't say that I'm mine. It's time to write some checks to my ex-wife.
Starting point is 01:32:30 Alright, Salamone Tony signing off. I probably should have mentioned that I'm independently wealthy from the invention of Gash's paper because of the lyric in the song. But that's a tale for another time. Go along everyone, stay married if you can. Thank you for listening to Alamoni Tony's Valamoni Shoni. Brodgers was played by Mandel Mawn.
