Le Show; 1986-11-02; 1986-11-09

You have been listening to Why I Don't Love You Anymore, written and produced by Joe Frank, technical production by Tom Strother. This program was produced in the studios of KCRW's Santa Monica. Thank you, Tom. I'm thanking, of course, the person who was not here. It's a traditional radio thing, you know, just to talk to people who aren't there. For the illusion. For the illusion of the thing. It's 10 o'clock. I'm mad as hell. I may not take it anymore. I don't know. This is KCRW in Santa Monica, 89.9. Oh, wait a minute. It's November. We don't have a new station break of the month. This is the old one. KCRW, Santa Monica National Public Radio is serving Los Angeles and Orange counties in 89.9 and Ventura at 89.1 KCRW is a community service of Santa Monica College. They promised us a new station break in the beginning of November, but I haven't seen it yet.

On the other hand, I've become, I've become, I've become enured to frustrations and disappointments here like the guy who locked the record library before leaving this morning. So all the music you hear this morning will be mine. I'll take the blame. I'll take the credit. I'll take off in about an hour. Good morning. Welcome to the show. I'll fire, and I bring you fire. I'll take you to burn. I'll fire. I'll take you to learn. I'll see you here. You fought hard, and you saved and earned. But all of this can't do well. Got you places to put stuff in. f I you.

You get a firm fire to destroy all you've done. Fire. I am And all you think of Is you your friend You've been living like a little girl And the vehicle of your little world Dirty like your town I came to you in a place of life And I was attacked And I came to you in a place of life Oh, fire I'll take you to burn Fire I'll take you to learn You're gonna burn

I don't know, some moments that I have to take out, you know, I don't normally pat myself right here on the other side very often, but I'm a little proud, you know, I was on the David Letterman show this week and I'm kind of proud of myself that I did not, even when I could have used it, could have used the response, I did not say, hey, how about those meds? Thank you. Strange stuff, of course, always on television, it's my job to watch as much of it as humanly possible and to glean those few nuggets worthy of mention. And this week I saw one, you know, the phrase, money back, if not delighted, has sort of entered its own niche in our

language, even though I think the people who pretty much helped to put it into the dictionary in the first place, I don't know, the phrase wouldn't be in the dictionary, but you know what I mean? Anyway, those people, the bamboo steamer people, urban general corporation, has gone into chapter 11, joining a parade of fine companies there. But the phrase lives on and this week I heard money back, if not delighted, in a television commercial for a will kit. You send in and they send you for $9.95 or something, a kit that tells you how to make out your own will and money back, they say, if not delighted. How? I don't know, see, that's, I can't even ask the question, let alone ponder it. What kind of a will kit would be delightful? Dear Sirs, I found myself instructed and thrilled by your will kit, but unfortunately, delight was lacking, sincerely yours. Anything back, if not delighted, you see. And I do bring disquieting news in the form of a warning,

you know, normally California is the leading edge of trends for better or worse in our society, but sometimes they start in the other coast and worm their way this way. And such, I think, is the prospect of privately owned payphones. You may have read about this, it's actually been brooted about for some time, but they've started doing it in New York City in restaurants now. You don't, the payphones are no longer owned by the telephone company, they're owned by some other outfit, some, you know, somebody who maybe was selling bamboo steamers a couple weeks ago before going passing through the fire of chapter 11. And I wouldn't have anticipated anything particularly being wrong with the idea of non-phone company payphones until I tried a couple. And they're real interesting devices. They, the ones in New York have a button that you push to, you put

the coin in first, then you dial the number, but the machine doesn't actually eat your quarter until the person on the other end picks up the phone says hello, and then you push a button to talk. And that, by doing that, the coin is eaten. Now, that has some advantages. You can call up somebody and if they're not home, you hear their machine is on and you haven't really paid for that call. On the other hand, these machines charge you 50 cents twice the amount for a regular call to call information. And interestingly enough, the people who provide these phones have not seen fit to provide a phone book. So you kind of have to call information. And I had the experience a couple times of phoning in for paying 50 cents, phoning information for a number that was not listed. And that's 50 cents very well spent. So don't let them do this to us. You have been warned. You can't put anything past the listeners to this show. These private payphones are in Southern

California. They have been cited at locations such as 11th and Broadway. Where else? Burbank. Well, serves you right for going to Burbank. Anyway, they are here. Be careful. A Halloween. Goblins and ghosties and scariest of all. Some people sitting down to platefuls of

pork product that don't bear the proud imprint of the famous farmer. For no fright mask, a jack-a-lanon could be as spooky as the journey these off-brand specimens of meatpacking take. For most other packages in this tale of two cities, these are the worst of times. Their pig meat is brought already frozen to this area, colder than late October in Fenway Park. But the famous farmer enjoys the best of times, bringing his pink pretties out here live, and dressing them, but not costuming them right here in Southern California. Then in Cauldron's a witch could wish for, he smokes them slowly over native Western wood. So baseball may be over, but this is no wild pitch.

This Halloween season, the only thing you have to scare up is an appetite. And when you want to be goblin the best, look for the smile and face of the famous farmer, because he dresses that way all year round. But you think that it might be time to starve? When you knew that I was through, that I'd turn all I could do, did you really have to melt the fire drop? Talking to him with my estate, you may hate his life to stay,

and left me for us with our skin. Now all my flinch back home, but I did it on my own, and I chewed that well-worn yeah, so you think. But you think that I'll give him all the kindness that I had, did you feel you had to break that lonely bar? When you knew that I was through, that I'd turn all I could do, did you really have to show that final cloud?

Talking to him with my estate, you may hate his life to stay, and left me for us with our skin. Now all my flinch back home, but I did it on my own, and I chewed that well-worn yeah, so you think that I was through, but I did it on my own, and I chewed that well-worn yeah, so you think that I was through, but I did it on my own, and I chewed that well-worn yeah, so you think that I was through,

but I did it on my own, and I chewed that well-worn yeah, so you think that I was through, but I did it on my own, and I chewed that well-worn yeah, so you think that I was through, but I did it on my own, and I chewed that well-worn yeah, so you think that I was through, but I did it on my own, and I chewed that well-worn yeah, so you think that I was through, but I don't know which town he was referring to, I don't think it was Vegas, he might have been Henderson,

but of course the restaurant isn't in Henderson, it's in the Liberace Plaza just across the Liberace Plaza from the Liberace Museum, for those of you who haven't been there, these instructions will enable you to find the place without too much trouble, and it's pretty, it's pretty Vegas, is the highest praise I can pay at, at this point, since the the veal tout has been disproved, it's basically everything you'd expect in a restaurant that bears the the name of Liberace, including a special room and back, now don't don't get ahead of me now with a fine collection of beautiful objects that Lee, I call him Lee of course, has picked up during his travels in Europe, and of course all the all the items on the menu bathed as they are in gelatinous cream sauces are inspired by meals that Lee has had during those same travels, so apparently he's spent more time looking for objects and really looking for good restaurants, but anyway that's

we saw, let's see, some fine porcelain and silver, some fine silver's glasswares and things like that, and of course you can always go over the museum and buy the soap shaped like a piano, it's a trip well worth making, but you know maybe stay away from the veal, I don't know, that's up to you, you'd be your own best guide in that regard, it's 1029 at KCRW in Santa Monica. One spark is all we need, we're the lightened to the darkness, one, yes I see, hey, I would need to look, look good, friction, we're gonna build a fire,

we're gonna build a fire, we're gonna build a fire, we're gonna build a fire, we're gonna build a fire, we're gonna build a fire, we're gonna build a fire, friction, friction, friction, friction, friction, friction, friction, Fix it.

Rub and arch sticks together. Trying to keep things up now. One spark is all you need. Bring the light into the darkness. Fix it. Whoa! Yes, I see. Hey! I need to... A little good. A little good. Whoa, if I see him, I'll need just a little, a little, a little, a little, a little

good night. Fiction...fiction. From the Holmes total collection, the West's leading active archive of historic storylines come tales of action, romance, and adventure in the nation's executive mansion, calcats of the White House. Our story opens in an orange county hotel ballroom.

The president is finishing a speech to a group of Republican supporters, standing in the wings, watching, is done, is trusted. It's so I ask you this Tuesday to ask yourself this one question, a good set up, a man like Ed Sheeran was brought up, a man who would turn the clock back to the discreetly-bummissings of the past, or a man like Ed, that's a good one and that leave out the last name, who supports our efforts as we express the nation to rid the world of more weapons within 10 years. Oh, Jesus. Now remember, you can't vote for me anymore, but you can't vote for me this Tuesday by the end of the day, so thank you very much, thank you. Yes, sir, I was here when you walked out on stage.

I thought you might have gone out front to check the PA, instead of standing back here in nitpicking. I'm not going to nitpick, Mr. President. Yes, you are. You're going to tell me, I have that raky, big thing rolled again. Well, you did say that we offered to get rid of all weapons. All weapons, all nuclear weapons, nuclear missiles. Look, done the basic idea, as we agreed to maybe get rid of something. I understand that. Well, I wasn't even going to bring it up, sir. Oh, maybe I'm a little wonderful speech there, Jim Clement from the Orange County Central Committee. Wonderful speech. Thanks, Jim. You know, I kind of feel like I'm back home when I do one of these things in California. I guess it's probably because I'm from here. Yes, sir. I just personally, you know, it's a minor thing, but I wish you hadn't said Don shall at the end there.

We're hoping to use that footage in a last minute commercial. And did I see that? I believe you, Dad, sir. Well, you know why? And fellow Don Nichols, it's running for the Senate down in Texas or Oklahoma or something. Oh, yes, sir. I called him Don Rickles this week, and I guess I was just concentrating really hard and not going in this fellow Rickles. Well, perfectly understandable, sir. Bottom line is we raised a million and a half. There you go. Well, Jim, I hope you can use something for the commercial. Well, we do have your waving in front of the show poster and between that and challenging crimson to a urine test. I think we're covered. Thank you, Don. Oh, I don't mention it. Oh, we better get going, sir. Very well run operating, you know, Jim. Oh, yes, indeed. And Jim, please give Nancy's in my regards to Mrs. Rickles. Well, I will, sir. You know something, Jim? What's that, sir? I think you will. I think you really will. Meanwhile, at the Western White House, north of Santa Barbara, Nancy is entertaining

a house guest on the veranda. Snaking across the porch is an extension cord. As Nancy applies an electric waxer to her forearms. Oh, Nancy, you shouldn't have invited us up here. I feel like I'm intruding on this wonderful, calm and quiet here. I mean, I'll look at you myself sitting next to you. I feel like I'm the cover girl for today's cellulite magazine, it's nothing. Ah, please. Don't be silly, Joan. After the show the other night, I just thought you and Edgar might enjoy this. You will stay for dinner, won't you? Well, conceptions prepared some grapefruit and bronze having steak. Edgar likes steak, doesn't he? Oh, sure. Edgar eats anything that hasn't moved lately. Oh, please. Where is Edgar?

I have an added chance to say hello to him. Oh, he got sidetracked looking at the president's collection of axes. Oh, Mrs. Ray. No, no. We are at the Nancy's stage by now, don't you think? Oh, all right. I'll call you, Nancy. But don't you call me, Nancy. Robby Moore mixed up with Joan Collins's firm aside. Oh, Joan, you're so funny. Oh, I love that. Oh, please. You're working comedy long enough. It comes to you. But where's the president? I bought it. Oh, oh. There you are, mommy. I... Joan. Hello, Mr. President. I... Joan. Mr. President. Well, this is a present surprise. Yes. Doormen is the only person here to greet me besides. Mommy is my briefing officer. He has to tell me how many logs I split in case a reporter gets within yelling distance. Mr. President, I pride myself a little bit on being in a kind of a judge of character. Sure. Very early on. I could tell Edgar was blind. He asked me out.

But you seem upset. Oh, it's nothing. I... I just got to call Don Rickles and apologize for screwing up his commercial. But look. You guys look like you've got a regular gamb faced going here. Maybe I should just take my 4.30 nap early today. I... Home call for the president of Secureline April 0, Charlie. Maybe I better find that guy. I shouldn't leave him alone with sharp instruments. Oh, please. You didn't have to show her away as if she was someone from the State Department. I like her. Mommy, I don't want her overhearing conversations on a Secureline. She might end up repeating something to Johnny. I doubt it. Well, anyway. Hello. I'm Mr. President. I'm sorry to bother you. I just... Ed. Yes, sir. Is the connection okay? Well, it's fine. We're going with Sprint here at the ranch, or... Yes, sir. Marine swears by MCI. Sir, I've got a speech.

I'm giving tonight and I want to do clear something in it with you personally, if I could. Well, Ed. This... This sort of thing normally goes through Don, doesn't it? Yes, sir. Well, what's wrong? Did he say you should be out in the hallway waiting for the big Jew to bring you a cookie? Excuse me, sir. Well, that's a sort of thing Don says to me every time I run into him. But I... He does? Yes. Typical records. Oh. I thought you meant Don Regan, sir. You're supposed to date. Oh, well, him, too. Mr. President, you remember from the news digest summary this week that I gave that speech urging employers to trail employees. They suspect of drug use to nearby restaurants and parking lots. Yep. Read the whole thing. The whole speech? The whole summary item. Well, the speech tonight was the next step. I'm speaking to the Alabama Chamber of Commerce. And this is where I was going to do the thing about urging employers to conduct periodic walk-ups of all their workers to find which ones get very anxious after a few hours,

because those will be the ones who are addicted and they need their fix. Mm-hmm. And? And Don said I should hold back on that. Just deliver the Supreme Court decisions aren't to law the land speech again. He's afraid it's too close to election day for any more hard stuff. He's telling me I'm going to serve a powder puff until we get to Thanksgiving, sir. When, then, with this kind of strategy's concerned Don's kind of the boss, I'd hate to go over his head on this. But, sir, you are over his head. Well, then, then, it's kind of nitpicking, isn't it, Ed? I'm seeing this one. Let's just let Regan be. Okay, big fella. All right, sir. I guess I'm sure you do. See you Wednesday. Yes, sir. Darling, do you think it's wise always to side with Don against Ed? Oh, now look, mommy. I've had a rough week. Don Rickles has mad at me. The poll results say all my campaigning may not do any good.

And I've been batting my brains out, giving anti-drug speeches in places where reporters are allowed. That wasn't my idea. You're right. Oh, mommy, we shouldn't be snapping at each other. We're treating each other like... I'm Democrats. You're right, dear. As usual. I just wish... Oh, I wish I could give Ed the green light, too. But, Don talks to the people who actually read the poll results. I have got to give him the benefit of enough rope. All right, Ron. Oh, we shouldn't keep our guests isolated in the house. Come on. Let's go find Joan and Edgar. I'd like to find your Edgar. Oh, Ron. There's plenty of time for romance after the election. Is there? Isn't there? Does the president have long co-tails? Or are those just his shirt hails that he forgot to tuck in?

Next time, rehearsing for the holidays on Hellcats of the White House. Turn off the lights, welcome home. Trap? You can call me,, Ed. I don't wear condoms in a clothes. Stuss and hats, but I'm a lover. Mama was Papa 2. I'm not a child, loving it all I know to do. Call me a country.

Right from the woods. I'll answer when you call me. Oh, baby. I mean, that makes you feel good. But I'm just a lover. Mama was Papa 2. But I'm not a child, loving it all I know to do. Now, what have you called me?

I'll even go for that. Cause I keep a fat bankroll in my pocket, baby. You know I own a three cat legs. Cause I'm just a lover. Mama was Papa 2. I'm not a child, loving it all I know to do. Yeah, because we always play the original version. That's just a policy we have here.

It has nothing to do with management decisions or anything. It's just a way to be. Do you think McGruff, the crime dog, is really helping to take a bite out of crime? Do you think he's doing any good at all? I don't know. I'm looking at a picture of him as a puppet, the puppet version of McGruff. Not the real McGruff now. Don't be fooled, this is the puppet version that goes traveling to our school rooms. And I'm just wondering. Is he another Johnny Horizon or is he another Smoky the Bear? You know? That's what I'm wondering. But from you, I'm wondering something else. And the conversation segment of the program, which we've now entered in the home stretch. And I'm kind of worried about this. I've asked a lot of people, I've asked friends who are like food mavens. And I've asked people who sell food, fish, particularly. And I've read some stories in the newspaper as well. And I'm just thoroughly confused at this point.

The question is, is it okay to eat swordfish? If you have an opinion on this subject, please give me a buzz right now. 2-1-3-4-5-0-3-5-2-4. I eat swordfish. Alright, you're on the air on the swordfish line. Yeah, it's okay to eat it except put lots of lemon on it.

And don't make fun of it when you eat it, okay? Yeah, but okay. That's opinion number one. I think that's sort of a big the question of the tumors and stuff like that. Anyway, hi, you're on the air. Should I eat swordfish? Hello? Yeah. Harry, yeah. Ralph Nader says you shouldn't eat any fish at all that it has mercury in it. Okay, and of course you shouldn't drive mercury because they got fish in them. But thank you for calling. Hi, you're on the air. I mean, eat the swordfish. Eat the swordfish. And you can even eat the little brown nerve lines to go down them, although some people say you can't. Okay, thank you. I'm talking about on the steak. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. But what about those tumors? The tumors? I can forget the tumors. I wish I could, man. Hi, you're on the air. Should I eat swordfish? Swordfish is great. You don't need it on the quarters of Westwood. You don't need it to the hills. I don't know what he's talking about. Oh, he should go here next. Hi, you're on the air. Nice, funny voice over this morning. Hi. Well, mommy and I eat swordfish whenever we come out to the coast. In fact, we're here right now when Consuelo's fixing up a batch of them for me and mommy and that Don Rickles kind of guy.

Okay, well, good enough. Thank you. I do. Oh, let's all laugh, huh? Let's forget our troubles. Should I eat swordfish, though, really? Now, seriously. Okay, it's my turn. Yeah. Hi. I'm talking to you. Well, you know, it's hard to tell because I heard the last conversation as if you were talking to me, too. But that's all right. Well, I hear this now as if you're talking to me. Oh, I think you should not eat swordfish. You got a reason? It's not kosha. It loses its scales. Yeah. So it doesn't have fins and scales. It only has fins and so you shouldn't eat it. However, if it's like before age two weeks, you can because it still has a scale. Okay, this sounds more like policy than what I'm looking for, which is late news about the whole situation. But thanks for calling. See, there were stories that they've been discovered with tumors and people who've cut them open for a living, say, oh, no, don't. But all right.

Hi, you're on the air. Hi. As far as I know, it's okay to eat swordfish. Just remember to remove the sword first. Okay, that's always good advice. Thank you. That's common sense. Rearing it's ugly head this morning. Hi, you're on the air. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with eating swordfish tumors. I eat them all the time. Yeah. Hi, you're on the air. Should I eat swordfish? What do you think? Yes, but you should use the sword to cut out the tumors. Okay, second sword joke in the morning. Hi. I think there's a positive, like, hard information here. I'm just getting that impression. Hi, you're on the air. Hi. It's okay to eat the swordfish, but I think there are more of the tumor problems from these street vendors. I think there are more of the TG street vendors of swordfish on the corners. Yeah. As long as you don't buy from those guys. So you'd buy from a licensed retail establishment, as well as saying? Absolutely, only. Yeah. All right, thanks. I think that sounds like lobbying to me or robbing to me, but hi. Should I eat swordfish? Sure. Yeah. Go right ahead, but the guy was so wrong that said that you had to remove the sword. What he forgot was you have to move from the scabbard.

Ah, thank you. I was a little scabbard there myself. Hi. I would say no for two reasons. Okay. The first is that they carry a tremendous toxic burden from just existing in the oceans these days, unfortunately. Well, now, why them is opposed to other fish, though? Well, they're farther off shore than a lot, so they don't have a lot of the coastal pollutants, but the oceans in general are pretty high. And they have a lot of high organo mercury in there. So this is a, yeah, but that's a general, that's a point directed generally towards fish. Well, the thing about source fish is that they do concentrate mercury, and with all the other environmental contaminants that were automatically exposed to, we're probably going to, we can't afford any more things to pick up like, that could cause synergistic effects like mercury might be able to do. The other thing is that mercury is in Venus this month, though. Does that, would that be a synergistic effect, or? Well, it only depends on where Mars and Jupiter are. Okay. Good point. Source fish really fight hard when you catch them. And it seems that we like to kill things that fight the hardest to stay alive, and I don't know.

But that's like, you know, you eat the heart of a lion, you become more brave, right? No, I don't know. You don't believe that? The ten time how you killed a lion, I guess. Some people don't believe anything these days, thanks for the call. Such doubt in our myths. Hi, should I eat sort fish? Well, the deal is this. I didn't eat it, but cut out the black part, you know, how in the middle, and how it's cut, and there's always a black part. Cut that out because that's where the mercury is concentrated. I see. Alright. Alright, so take your chances. Alright, thanks very much. Should I eat sort fish? Well, I have no anything about these tumors, but I've heard that they have these little parasites like sushi has, little sushi worms. Yeah. And I want to know if either of those exist. I always hear people who know somebody that that happened to, but did it really ever happen? I don't know. Good question. For the lines are open, anybody who knows, this is the time to inform all of Southern California that's not watching the New York Marathon. Hi, should I eat sort fish? What a country. You know, in my country, sort fish eat you. Interesting.

Ah, ha, ha, ha. Yakov, you're so busy with the show. Yet you had time to place a call, and we thank you for it. Hi. Should I eat sort fish? What do you think? Here you wanted heart facts. This comes from CNN. Uh oh. You know, the world's most important network. Don't eat it. Really? Didn't look good. It could just be the photography. Oh, this was just looking at the fish. That's right. All right, thanks. Thank God somebody out there has cable. Hi, should I eat sort fish? Okay, here's the intelligent answer to your question. Yeah. The problem with, uh, sort fish is. That's it. No, I'm just, you're not insulting the previous caller. No, not at all. All right. Okay, it is that they, they go to a very large size. They live a long time. Mm-hmm. They feed on smaller fishes. Mm-hmm. Because of this, the smaller fishes will have marginal amounts of pollution. Mm-hmm. A bigger fish continually eating the smaller amounts will concentrate the toxins in his body. I see. So when the larger it gets, the longer it lives, the more toxins it will concentrate. So what you're saying is, in our modern age, throw back the big ones. That's right. And so we have, fortunately, we have a self-limiting poison factor here in that.

As sort fish are getting overfished, the larger ones aren't being caught any longer. They're only catching the smaller ones to the amount of toxins decreases. So for the good of your fellow Americans, you should eat more sort fish to keep the size down. Keep the size down. Because if they get bigger, they get more poisonous. They get more poisonous. All right. So throw back the big ones. That's right. All right. Thanks. Okay. The irony is just get thicker and thicker here on the show. Hi. Two, three more calls on this topic and then, then none. After that. Hi. Should I eat sort fish? No, you shouldn't. You should do it with the poisons and mercury, no, because that's in all the fish. Yeah. It has to do with the nematodes, which are little worms, that usually grow on smaller fish. Right. They've been seeing it with them in sort fish because of the warm currents that are farther off shore. This is like the El Nino kind of thing, huh? Got it. Okay. And you can't eat them because by cooking it, you usually don't eat sort fish raw. By cooking it, the worms are killed, but do you want to eat dead worms? Yeah.

Well, that'll be a question for next week, then. Yeah. I like my worms life. Interesting. Just like your Saturday night comedy entertainment. Thanks. Thanks for the call. Should we eat dead worms? Oh, I don't know. Some of the things that are high. Should I eat sort fish? What do you think? Well, here I've read that if you boil it, then you have it at a temperature high enough to kill the parasites. Uh-huh. So if you boil it, but don't eat it raw. Okay. Or just boil it and don't eat it. Right. Okay. Thank you. Last call. Should I eat sort fish? Yeah. I work in a major center California trauma center emergency room, and I have never in 10 years seen anybody come in with any problems from parasites from sort fish. Huh. Okay.
