Oh,
If you want to dive in, it's as awful as you can imagine and explicit.
We're hearing things already that we have not heard before and all of it is shocking, disgusting.
And of course, some of these are just, maybe some of them are.
just complaints that the FBI got over the years, but, you
All right.
not out
there right okay exactly so we couldn't have done that now if you want to take into question the sources of all these files I could
guess you could call into question.
The Florida and New York cases that they were investigating on Epstein, the New York case against Maxwell, the New York case investigating Epstein's death, the Florida case investigating the former butler of Epstein, multiple FBI investigations, and the Office of Inspector General investigation into Epstein's death.
Now
They don't know what they're talking about.
They can't believe anything coming from them.
Okay, I get you.
I got it.
But you know what?
No.
These are credible sources.
I believe the stuff that's in this.
Yeah.
Prove, prove that they're not real.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, you know, no caveats here.
This stuff has been released.
That's it.
He needed it.
more
it, but I don't
Yes.
And one of her great characters that she played in Second City TV, and I watched every episode I had.
By the way, I had every episode.
On Beta.
On DVD.
Oh, DVD.
Yeah, on DVD, and I blew it.
Okay, good.
On DVD, they said.
Yeah, sets out on it.
But there is one season that I don't have.
And I believe it was on either HBO or Cinemax, either one of those.
They had an extra season on there.
They had six gun justice on it.
I mean, it was fantastic.
It was one of the best programs ever.
And
if that ever
know.
Cheesy performance.
So Catherine Hare took off on that.
And this is her performance on a Christmas special that she did as Lola Heatherton.
And this is not quite a seasonal hit.
at this point, but you might want to listen to this, check it out.
This is Catherine O'Hara.
Give me one second, give me one second.
as well.
Right, and Connie Stevens.
Connie Stevens.
They were like, more or less, Las Vegas nightclub performers who made it to Hollywood and would get
parts, bit parts and movies.
And you know, some of them did very, very well on TV and everything.
Yeah.
And Lola, Lola Heatherton was Catherine O'Hara's takeoff.
Okay, let's listen to that.
Yeah.
That's right.
The love spirit, my very special Christmas special.
We're taking back to love's past.
We're forced to see all too clearly love's present.
I know it's going to touch you where you belong.
And we even take a moment to think about love's future.
Nothing's changed on my own.
It's Christmas 19.
I don't even know what year it is.
I just know I'm still alone.
Try to heart, ask too much.
Love so many, hate to even think.
For the sake of one hand.
I'll go ahead and enjoy the love you have.
As long as I'm here to entertain you.
Someone to feel sorry for is not what you're looking for.
What do you want?
I don't need you.
I don't
That's
But you know, a lot of these performances you can still check out on some of the old Warner Brothers series that they have like a 2B and all these other channels.
Sure.
And Warner Brothers probably will have it in their library on Netflix pretty soon.
I would imagine so.
Hawaiian Eye 77 Sunset Strip.
more of Johnny Gordy after this.

Yeah.
of
Well, let's keep it light Friday.
Hey, I'm smart trivia.
Yeah,
Joey Heatherton, who you brought up, right?
Was married to Lance.
Oh, our rental.
Oh, right.
Player of the Cowboys and my brother, you say, oh, she's married to Bambi.
I said, no, Bob, that's the other Lance, the better one.
Lance, all work.
There

And when it's all worth, finish this career with Cowboys.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, it's
All stuff that means nothing.
Joey Heatherton.
Seems like she was on
lot.
She was on Johnny Carson too.
made the rounds.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
And the, the gal that just died to that, what was the show you brought up, uh, uh, Creek, uh,
Uh, yeah.
What a great show, wasn't it?
It was
I found this web wisdom.
This guy was looking at the reviews of Melania, right?
Right.
And then I started reading up, and I always check these things out.
And I found out that the reviews that he is reading is from something called Billboard.
Or no.
What is the widescreen thing?
Anyway, it's a media source where they list all of these reviews and they give a chance to kind of sample a lot of different reviews at this website, right?
And the website took all those reviews down because they said,
really seen the movie yet.
So how could anybody have reviewed it?
So these reviews are fake reviews,
I
know,
The Melania
movie reviews are in.
And just like Melania, they're not pretty.
This is the movie or documentary that Jeff Bezos paid about $75 million of which 40 million went straight to Melania Trump to curry favor with her husband.
Here's the reviews from the Indie wire.
If syphilis were a movie from the Hollywood reporter brutal.
should be considered a war crime.
From Variety.
I can't understand a thing she says.
From the New York Times.
Like being taken hostage by the Taliban.
And this last one by RogerEbert.com.
Brace yourselves.
Okay.
Watching Melania's journey.
from Slovenia prostitute to First Lady is like walking barefoot in a field of Legos while experiencing explosive diarrhea.
I
are
As
the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point, a dumbing down.
God, I'm so stupid!
Stupid!
Foolish, gullible, doltish, dumbell,
laid-back!
I'm an extremely stable genius.
Okay.
It's all fake news.
It's phony stuff.
It didn't happen.
You are fake news.
That's the best stupid thing I've ever heard this week, man.
Hahahaha!
Idiocracy!
For the smartest guy in the world, you're pretty dumb sometimes.
Every time.
All this is John and Gordy, and we've got so much...
to get to today.
I mean, it's been kind of entertaining so far, but we've got some really bad news and stuff that'll bring you down.
What a way to start the weekend.
I hope you're looking forward to that.
But right now, let's go to the phones and talk to Joe.
Joe, what do you have for us?
Hey,
Joe.
Nothing sad.
I would like to just continue on Melania because you're so much fun.
yeah, okay I'm not sure the question about whether they saw the films or not variety had a review and so I'm assuming that they got some review copy But within it they described there as having quote a voice of sheet metal
They said no single redeeming quality to this documentary and remember this documentary was 40 million to acquire it and 35 million to market it
and
there was a comment on Reddit from somebody from Romania who was bitching about this being in their theaters.
It's like they have four showings of this in my theater.
Why?
I don't know if they actually actual review copy.
I'm I'm assuming that they do just because there's such an insider source and they said that they described it as a cheese ball infomercial of staggering inertia and that the other line they had which was really beautiful was they said if this film were shown on a plane people would still walk out.
that's
one's
Well,
I don't
know.
I think they could get review copies.
Yeah.
I think they could
get
review
read.
Yeah.
Cause I saw it today.
I saw it in the Guardian.
had a review
Yeah.
Um, and stunning though it was, and then I would also, there was one line from her husband,
one
beautiful line from her husband, from Mr. Trump, who was, who was asked about, um, China and, and Canada getting closer trade relations.
He said the first thing they're going to lose is you're going to lose your ability to play hockey.
Canada's not going to like that.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
let me make our way.
I just thought I, you know, I forced all the bad news because there's always a tsunami of that.
So in the meantime, we do have some amusement here and there.
So have
great weekend, you guys.
It's funny.
I did take a clip of Melania.
They released just a little part of the film that's like, you know, 10 seconds worth.
Right.
And it's, and Trump calls up Milani and she answers the phone and she says, hello, Mr. President.
You know, I'm thinking.
Really?
Yeah.
They're on that level.
So anyway, and did you see my speech?
And she goes, no, I didn't.
That was it.
They're very close.
Good afternoon, guys.
I thought I'd add something a little more pleasant and less...
political than I usually do too.
As an old jazz singer, I research a lot of the songs that I sing and a fair number of that I don't.
It's the lovely day today, which you guys were talking about earlier.
The best known recording of that is probably done by Doris Day and that's who I thought it sounded like when I was listening
to
the recording.
was written by Irving Berlin for his 19, I think his 1950 musical, Call Me Madam.
Again, you know, kind of in the area of funny light stuff, right?
Yeah.
I thought this was incredibly creative and it is a fellow who passed away.
That's always funny, right?
I mean, you know, you got to laugh at that.
Okay, but you can't find like I'm gonna save it because I'll get to it in just a few moments.
Oh, here it is.
I got it.
I got it Okay, this is cut 431 This is an Irish guy named Shay Bradley and he wanted to leave everybody kind of a happy message
at his
thing.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Yes, you're
he is.
So anyway, that's
is
All
No,
Look, there's
of Doris Day.
to us.
Donald O'Connor, I believe.
Yeah.
Um, you know, we check into that.
Yeah.
We have discussions around the house, uh, about our taxes.
You know, we've got, uh, complicated taxes this year.
Yeah.
It's that time.
Tax time.
Yeah.
All your forms together.
When you have LLCs and all this other stuff and now the kids are working and, uh, and they're filing.
we're filing for them, we're filling out their taxes for them.
And one son is a host
and
and
But
Well, and there was some change in the big beautiful bill that got passed through Congress, right?
Yeah.
Because my daughter, she's a server and works at a coffee place.
And yeah, she was asking me about this too.
Yeah.
So, so the deal was, I mean, what we heard, what was going to be promoted and apparently was in the big beautiful bill is there
Is that the reality though?
You know, it's almost like.
When Obama promised that you can keep your doctor, right?
Now he wasn't aware that the insurance companies would change their plans right and change the doctors They could do that happen.
Yeah, but this is a little different now again no taxes on tips, but we had representative
Tom Susie.
Tips the president said your tips will be a hundred percent yours Does this tax bill continue the payroll tax on people's tips?
Yes, it yes, it does miss overtime the president said your overtime will be tax-free Does this bill continue the payroll tax on overtime?
It does not exempt overtime from payroll taxes.
The President has said he's going to remove taxes on Social Security.
Does this bill remove taxes on Social Security benefits?
The legislation provides an increased exemption amount.
But does it remove taxes on Social Security benefits as
promised by the President?
It does not change anything.
Keep taff
Is here a waitress or a bartender?
this year,
who are angry at the software tax makers because yes, this administration got rid of having your taxes done for free online.
Oh, yeah.
Because because the software company said, no, it takes business away from us and we can't sell the discs and the tax software.
If they get to do a lot of it.
for free online, for people who don't have any deductions.
And on it goes.
So I should hate them, and I should boycott them,

Oh, yeah,
Best in Show?
Yes.
She was in that.
Crazy,
Yeah.
Kido.
Um, okay.
One of the best clips I heard was on Tuesday when he had, um,
New York cops yelling at ice guys.
Remember that?
Um, so I went to the archives.
All right, show archives and they go from last week Friday to Wednesday.
Yep.
There is no Monday or Tuesday in there.
play
Well, we got caught up in the excitement of, you know, here's the thing, and I framed it this way, I think during the program, is this is the way it should be done.
This is how we should treat these ICE agents.
So I think just...
that alone should stand and allow that clip to be played.
But again, and we talked about this the other day, the best way to figure out whether a clip, and I hadn't looked, I saved the clip because I didn't want to play it until I looked into it a little bit further, but I thought, oh yeah, no, I just threw it out there.
But the best way to...
kind of look at these clips to see if they're fake or not.
Sort them out.
Is to look at writing.
Letters do not come out in, in, in, in
So pictures of words don't work
fixed
You
good advice,
Well, now, so many AI generated videos, it's really, it's almost impossible.
And a lot of these things like, like that AI clip of the New York cops treating ice badly, that was something that I again,
I wanted to check.
I forgot to check it.
And then we put it out there and, uh, and, uh, and that's what happened.
We're going to tell you exactly what's going on.
All right.
Well, hang on because between the current news cycle and bitter weather, the winter blues are just hitting us, John.
But coming up in our three o'clock hour just after the news.
John and Gordy want to get you out of the house for a little TLC, says here.
And that could happen if you win passes to Chula Vista in Wisconsin Dells.
We've got one more set of passes to give away and we'll do that after we get into the news and the weather and sports updates.
It's coming up on John and Gordy.
