[SPEAKER_02]: It's you gotta be kidding me, with Tony Perkins and Gary Stein.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, they're not related.

[SPEAKER_02]: They're just good friends.

[SPEAKER_02]: And now, here's Tony and Gary.

[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yes.

[SPEAKER_06]: I think it gets any better than that, does it?

[SPEAKER_09]: It's episode two.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's already better than episode one.

[SPEAKER_08]: We didn't have our intro ready that we wanted to have in time for episode one.

[SPEAKER_08]: There it is.

[SPEAKER_08]: You know that voice, ladies and gentlemen, that is Donnie Simpson.

[SPEAKER_08]: You know him.

[SPEAKER_08]: You love him.

[SPEAKER_06]: Isn't that great?

[SPEAKER_06]: It is great.

[SPEAKER_06]: Listen, you know what I didn't know.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, how much did you charge him to do the intro?

[SPEAKER_08]: Well, let me tell you something.

[SPEAKER_08]: First of all, hello.

[SPEAKER_08]: I'm Tony.

[SPEAKER_08]: I'm Gary.

[SPEAKER_08]: And it's you got to be kidding me episode number two.

[SPEAKER_08]: So obviously, and some of you don't know.

[SPEAKER_08]: And this is something I may be we should have talked about before the show.

[SPEAKER_08]: We have a lot of return listeners and viewers from our old show, but hopefully we're attracting new people.

[SPEAKER_08]: So we can't assume they know everything about us and all that kind of thing.

[SPEAKER_08]: So let me tell you, Donnie Simpson, Radio, TV legend, the host of video soul on BET back in the 80s and 90s.

[SPEAKER_08]: Number one, radio, a disjockey, and Detroit, when he was a kid, here at WKYS in Washington, D.C. when I worked with him on the morning show, here again on Magic 102.3 in the afternoons, when I worked with him on the afternoons show, just Mr. Golden-Tones, fantastic person.

[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think people know this either, but when he was a baby,

[SPEAKER_06]: Little tiny baby wasn't he the baby Moses that was sent down the river in the basket in in the ten commandments That is absolutely right.

[SPEAKER_08]: That's absolutely right.

[SPEAKER_08]: That's a little piece of trivia that people don't realize and You know his voice had already developed and they had to dub out.

[SPEAKER_08]: He said hey, what are you doing?

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, he said like they said hey, what are you doing and that didn't seem appropriate for a baby right?

[SPEAKER_08]: Although someone on the set did say that guy's gonna be in radio

[SPEAKER_06]: That's right.

[SPEAKER_06]: He's he's going to be big.

[SPEAKER_06]: It worked out.

[SPEAKER_08]: We're produced by our old radio producer Rick Chill.

[SPEAKER_08]: he was our producer at magic one of two point three uh... i asked donny to record lines and he recorded them he sent them to rick so rick could process them so that they saw in the way you want them to sound on the air and uh... not that they would sound wimpy or anything other other otherwise but he couldn't sound wimpy could not sound wimpy but he might want a hamburger never mind i'm not going to go all right please don't please don't
