Every week on Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, I invite an artist, writer, or politician to
come to the table and speak from the heart in ways you probably haven't heard from them
before.
So my favorites are with Tom Hanks, Questlove, and Cate Blanchett.
In recent weeks, I had talked to actor Dan Levy, director Ava DuVernay, and the editor
of The New Yorker, David Remnick.
You can listen to Talk Easy on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
You know another funny thing that you said one time that made me laugh? You go,
I was at work today and I was talking to this lady and she found out that you were my son-in-law
because I told her. That tickled me. Tosh Show! Tosh Show.
Tosh Show for Show.
I've missed you guys.
It's Tosh Show time.
Give me a T!
T?
No, no, no.
I want you to do that version where you like say, you got that T, you got that T.
Give me a T.
You've got that T, you've got that T.
Give me an O.
You've got that O, you've got that O.
Give me an S.
You've got that S, you've got that S.
I don't wanna keep going.
You know what, I was gonna spell Tosh show, I guess.
It was gonna take a long time.
We only got five more letters, let's do it.
No, it's so long, I can't do it.
I lost interest. But I liked it when people used it.
You got that tea, you got that tea.
Do you remember that version or no?
I don't remember that version.
So you don't remember it?
You threw me when you were like, let's,
yeah, no, we just had, they just gave him a tea,
a boring tea.
Here it is, here's your tea.
That's what happens when you go to school in Nebraska.
Many places, yes.
You don't have any soul.
No soul.
I remember all the cheers.
That's because I was always on the sideline.
Never in the game.
I like it.
Eddie, you like sushi?
I love sushi.
You love sushi.
I do, I like it.
What's your go-to?
I mean, there's like that,
I don't know the name of it,
but it's like the fried kind of rice with the-
Wait, with the spicy tuna on top?
With the spicy tuna on top, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, the spicy tuna on top of the fried rice.
It's a little, it looks like it's been chewed up
for some reason.
It does look like it's like a baby's gonna about to eat it,
but I like that.
Do you go edamame?
Oh yeah.
Spicy or regular?
Spicy.
See, we have to go regular,
because I got the little ones now.
Oh, that's true.
And they eat it.
But miso every time?
Miso, not every time, but I do enjoy it.
I do miso every time.
Do you like the seaweed salad?
I do the cucumber salad.
I add crab and shrimp to it.
Oh, I didn't know you could, yeah.
Sometimes I do a trilogy.
I used to do crab, shrimp, octopus,
and but to it, but now I don't do octopus anymore
because they can use a hammer or something.
I don't know what the rule is,
why we stopped eating octopus in the house,
but we respect them and we don't eat them. One of them was a teacher. Yes.
But here's my complaint almost
with every sushi place that I get sushi from.
I need
no matter what,
50% less rice.
There's too much rice.
I don't get why they would want to put so much rice on it.
Because all that does is fill people up.
It doesn't cost anything.
Rice is free.
Nobody buys rice.
So 50% less rice, then I can eat way more sushi,
which costs way more.
It's the fish.
Now you're spending more money.
Exactly.
These businesses, they don't get it.
I was at a place recently and I was just like,
what in the world?
I can barely, I'm having to open my mouth like this.
My wife's having to bite it.
Nothing makes me madder than watching my wife
eat a roll in three bites.
I'm like, okay, now you're not getting all the flavors
in in on each bite.
So it's not tasting the way it's supposed to.
It's falling apart.
You look ridiculous.
For me, the spider rolls, when you get the end part,
it's literally has the shrimp parts coming out of it,
like the tails.
I don't care about spider rolls.
That's not good.
I don't want that shit.
Uh, my, uh, wife knows the word and I forgot what it is,
but we always get it for our kids,
but it's a version of like if you get a California roll,
you can say blank style and it's,
it's they make it so much smaller.
It's such a tight, tiny roll.
And it's just amazing for kids,
because then they can pop them in their mouths,
the whole thing.
But I forgot, oh, you're talking about sumomono style?
I didn't want to say it.
That's the cucumber salad.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Oh, anyway, I've been rambling too long.
We gotta get it back into this.
Part two of Daddy Dearest.
Enjoy.
Previously on Tosh Show.
It's his birthday today, guys.
Talk about your sex life.
Next question.
What was your banking nickname?
The Lona Ranger.
Oh man, isn't that cool?
Talk about your legs and your thighs.
Who did your wife have sex with?
That is a mystery.
Do you think you love your wife more than she loves you?
Oh, that's a fact.
That's not disputed.
So you could be my dad.
I could, but I'm not.
No.
Well, that would be weird.
In a world where TikTok didn't exist yet,
less bellicolored, películas no tenían color,
the comedy of a genio mexicano crossed borders
y conquistó the heart of America.
Sus personajes acompañaron las tardes de millones de latinos.
Es que no me tienes paciencia.
And his catchphrases are part of our culture,
but ¿cómo logró un escritor mexicano convertirse en un símbolo de televisión? You have patience. And his catchphrases are part of our culture, but how did a Mexican writer become a symbol of television?
You didn't count on my cunning.
Sonoro and R-Heart's MyCultura Podcast Network Present, a legend is born.
Chesperito, I'm Felipe Esparza and I'll take you on a trip through the work of the super comedian Chesperito.
From his television debut to the table and speak from the heart. Every week on Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, I invite an artist, writer, or politician to
come to the table and speak from the heart.
In ways I imagine you haven't heard from them before.
Some of my favorites are with Tom Hanks, Margaret Atwood, Questlove, Cate Blanchett, and Oscar
Isaac.
If that sounds like a varied group of people, it's because it is.
I always wanted to make a show where one week we could sit with a politician like Beto or
work, the next an author like Min Jin Lee, or TV titans like Bill Hader and Quinta Brunson.
Basically, this is a podcast driven by curiosity and an abundance of research.
Conversations where people actually start to sound like people.
In recent weeks, I sat with Dan Levy, Ava DuVernay, Benny Safdie, and the editor of Meet the real woman behind the tabloid headlines in a personal podcast that delves into the
life of the notorious Tori Spelling as she takes us through the ups and downs of her
sometimes glamorous, sometimes chaotic life and marriage.
I don't think he knew how big it would be, how big the life I was given and live is.
I think he was like, oh yeah, things come and go, but with me it never came and went."
Is she Donna Martin or a down-and-out divorcee? Is she living in Beverly Hills or a trailer
park? In a town where the lines are blurred, Tori is finally going to clear the air in
the podcast Misspelling. When a woman has nothing to lose, she has everything to gain. I just filed for divorce.
Whoa, I said the words that I've said like in my head
for like 16 years.
Wild.
Listen to Miss Spelling on the iHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Posh show.
You have a son-in-law, me, and a daughter-in-law. Okay, out of those people that aren't real family, which one of us is more family?
Oh, you can't say that.
No.
You're both married.
Beautiful Stephanie married to my oldest, and then you're married to my second oldest
But if you had a gun
And I had to shoot one of the two of you
Would you line both of our heads up?
See if the bullet traveled through both of us. You lived in Florida your entire life. Do you consider yourself a Florida man?
Yes, I do. That's not Florida man. That's not a compliment, right? When you say Florida man
It's like oh, that's always those weird things that we find out about in the news.
Talk about the race riots you witnessed
when you were in high school.
That's a true story.
So, senior in high school in beautiful Fort Pierce, Florida,
we merged our all-white high school,
which was called Dan McCarty,
with our all-black high school,
which was called Lincoln Park Academy.
Once football season was over,
we had riots on a weekly basis.
You're telling me that your football team, when you were all white, was poor. And then
when you merged with the black school, your football team went to the state finals.
That's the true story. We weren't poor, but they certainly enhanced the team. All the
stars just about.
All the stars. But you guys still took care of the
role players? I had to. Did you play football? Through 10th grade. I stopped in
the 11th grade, yes. And did you have a formal ceremony for that retirement? No.
No one wept. Talk about that one flag football intramural game you played in
college. Oh wait, you're talking about the one I never got tackled? Boy, you know everything.
Uh-huh. That's a true story. I know, you've told it to me 16 times. This is a true
story. How many touchdowns did you score that day? Six. Six touchdowns, guys! Okay,
wait. Wow! It was it was the pledges versus the brothers in a fraternity. It was
the pledges versus the brothers. In a fraternity. In a fraternity. And they told us the pledges had never won and we slaughtered.
And you were the pledge.
I was a pledge.
And you scored six touchdowns.
I never got tackled that day.
That's a true story.
And was it flag football or tackle?
That was tackle.
Do you have pads on?
No.
How many yards do you think you ran for?
I don't know.
That's a great question.
I never totaled that up.
You think it was over 200?
We probably played a 50-yard field, so yeah, they were good runs.
Were you fast?
I used to be.
Were you quick or just fast?
Probably more quick than fast, but at decent speed.
Oh, man. That must have felt good. Was that the best day of your life?
No, certainly not. But it was a great game athletically,
or day athletically, yes.
You've said many times to me under your breath
that things need to go Tammy's way, not the right way.
Have I said that many times?
I try to keep Tammy happy.
Your wife's from Arkansas.
That's true.
Why is that funny?
Makes me laugh.
I'm sorry.
You're not a fan of the Razorbacks?
I do like the Razorbacks.
You do?
After the Gators are probably my favorite.
Really?
Yeah.
I thought you were a Valls fan.
That was a long time ago.
Growing up a Valls fan.
How much right now would I have to pay you
to get an FSU Seminole tattooed on your chest?
And I want you to think about this,
because I'm going to do it, if the number's obtainable.
Oh, no, it's not obtainable.
Thank you.
It would be, it would never happen.
There's a lot of good artists in this town, tattoo artists.
You sure you don't want it?
What if you said a magical number?
Like I'm willing to go close to four figures.
Yeah, no, not even a to go close to four figures. Yeah, no.
Not even a fingernail painted for four figures.
You hate the Seminoles, don't you?
I dislike the Seminoles.
Talk about how much you hate Tallahassee and everyone
that goes to FSU.
You know, Tallahassee's a nice, pretty town,
but it's got FSU there.
And you hate FSU.
There are our Tribals, sure.
And Georgia.
I don't think people realize what a Gator fan this guy is.
So for the longest time, you used Our Tribals, sure. And Georgia. I don't think people realize what a Gator fan this guy is.
So for the longest time, you used to write
a family weekly email, maybe it was monthly,
it doesn't matter, and it was just an update
of everything that was going on in Florida sports.
And it wasn't just football.
It would be like, if it was in the middle of summer,
it'd be like, they're recruiting gymnastics class,
the coach of the female swimming team.
Everything about it.
It was so crazy to me.
And you would send it to your kids.
But most of your kids don't care about sports at all.
Two like sports, two don't.
One pretends to.
My wife doesn't care at all.
Chase, your youngest son, doesn't care at all.
Well, he didn't go to Florida.
I forgive you, Chase.
He's the only one of your kids that didn't go to Florida.
What kind of spit in the face did that feel like?
That was brutal.
Will you ever forgive him?
Of course I forgave him.
But you heard the line, right? Whoa, give me this line.
Oh, the line was, and Chase appreciates this,
my tombstone was gonna read four for four,
indicating all four kids went to UF,
but now it's gonna have to say three out of four ain't bad.
I have news for you.
We are not putting that on your tombstone.
Okay, shoot.
You're not gonna have a say.
Once you're gone, we're gonna write other things.
Wait, I have a newsflash for you.
What is that?
Florida finished fourth in the All Sports Trophy this year.
Okay.
There's your update. There you go.
That's very good.
Do you remember, did you stop writing these emails or do you still do them occasionally?
Occasionally.
You don't send them to me. I'm the only one that would.
Would you like to see them?
Yeah, of course I'd be in. I get them anyway because Carly just throws the Phone just here look at this before I dump it to my trash
Thanks car
How is Gator football looking this year now? We're gonna do good this year
No, you're not. Yes. We are you won't finish 500. Yes, we will how much a hundred? Okay, you're on
Seven and five. Here's the thing. I know about you. You don't pay up on your bets.
Do I owe you money currently?
Who's the best gambler you've ever been with?
You are, hands down. Incredible.
I have never seen you not make money at a gambling place.
At a saloon?
A casino.
You're talking like you're a hundred.
I'm getting there.
We like going to casinos together.
I do like going to casinos with you.
Yeah, it's fun. I've never seen you lose. I'm dead serious. We like going to casinos together. I do like going to casinos with you.
Yeah, it's fun.
I've never seen you lose.
I'm dead serious.
It's incredible.
You've seen me lose, but I get lucky.
I think here's my trick.
I don't need to gamble a long time, and if I win, right when I win, I can be like, oh,
I've only been gambling for three minutes.
I'm stopping now.
But then you go to another table and you win there.
That's the creepy part.
Who's your favorite gator of all time?
Favorite gator of all time?
Boy, that's a tough one.
Well, everybody's going to say Tebow, so I'm trying to come up with somebody besides Tebow.
Hasper was a great gator. Player and coach.
Favorite gator, golly.
I stopped giving a shit. Yeah stopped, yeah, me too.
Yeah, that's it.
Next.
How's the women's basketball program?
Getting better.
There's nothing I could ask him about gators
that he wouldn't have like a real answer for.
What about the gymnast?
Where's their gymnastic squad at?
I think we came in third or fourth this year in the country.
And by the way, had two or three girls
on the tryout for the Olympics.
Although I don't think any of them made it.
I watched that one girl's time trial,
the long distance runner, she finished second
and qualified for Paris.
Well, that's not gymnastics.
No, I know, I was just thinking of somebody
from the Gators that making it to Paris.
We may have 25 kids there, I mean,
there's gonna be a bunch, I don't know
how many we'll end up with.
Do you know how to play F, Mary, Kill?
I do not.
Okay, fuck, Mary, Kill, you have to pick one to fuck, one to marry, one to kill.
Are you ready?
It's a game.
It's a game people play.
Ready?
All right, fuck, Mary Kill.
Aaron Hernandez, Riley Cooper, Tim Tebow.
All right, I'll do the dumb gator chomp thing
while you answer.
Wait a second, fuck, Mary Kill.
All right, you'd have to marry Tebow,
cause he's the best. Who are the other two, Riley Cooper and who?
And your murder friend, Aaron Hernandez.
Oh yeah, have to murder Aaron.
And for Taylor, it'd have to be Riley for the sex, yes.
Why is that for Taylor?
Taylor had the hots for him.
He's a racist.
Well, till that happens, she had the hots.
Yeah, that's true.
Oh man, that goes against brand, if you ask me. You adore Steve Spurrier, who was 11 and 10 in
bowl games when he left Florida for the NFL. Did you burn any visors?
When I did not, I was upset when he left. Fabulous coach, by the way.
Now, true or false here, I paid to have a cameo made of Steve Spurrier giving you a motivational
speech on a big big meeting you had at the bank. And he knocked it out of the
park and it's on my phone. Hi there Greg this is Steve Spurrier your former head
ball coach up here at your school our school the University of Florida. Tosh
tells me that you've got a big presentation coming up April the 28th.
What I used to tell our players all the time is make sure that we individually
are totally prepared to do the very best we can do
and do it the entire game.
And after that, good things will happen.
So good luck on Wednesday and go Gators.
And it was a big hit at the bank, by the way, too.
You played it at the bank.
Yeah, even though they're all a bunch of Georgia Bulldogs,
they still all thought it was cool.
Ah, man, That's great.
Old Steve Spurrier doing cameos in his bathroom
to make an extra $150.
He was a phenomenal coach.
You grew up in Florida.
Had a lot of storms out there.
Did you ever get struck by lightning?
Yes, I did.
Direct hit?
Through a truck, yeah.
Through a truck?
I thought if a truck had rubber tires, you were safe inside. No, I was outside. Oh, you were outside the truck. Yep. Yep. Through a truck? I thought if a truck had rubber tires, you were safe inside.
So, no, I was outside.
Oh, you were outside the truck.
Standing in a ditch with my hand on the truck.
Why were you in a ditch?
We were surveying and it just happened to be on the side of the road.
What were you surveying?
I was with a survey crew with the State Road Department.
Okay, and the storm was a-brewing.
The lightning hit miles away and it knocked me 10 feet off that truck.
It was incredible.
Is that because you're so small?
That was part of it, yes.
Did the other men just look at you and go, boy?
They laughed their asses off.
They didn't feel it because they weren't holding the truck?
Probably not touching the truck, that's my guess.
It couldn't have struck the ground and traveled through the rubber tires into the truck.
It had to have hit the truck.
I'm telling you, I lived it.
Yes, it happened.
You're saying, but it could have struck the actual truck?
Oh no, it was way away.
I don't know how it happened either, but it did.
So you've gotten, my brother-in-law got bounced
by a lightning bolt that struck nearby
and he was holding a handrail
and it dropped him outside of the jail.
It does knock you right down. Oh.
It's incredible power.
There's video of his, but he won't release it because it's at the police department.
I don't know, some law.
Who doesn't?
So you were struck by lightning.
And ever since then, you could see things that other people couldn't?
That's right. I could see into the future.
Correct.
Did you like that movie Powder?
Powder?
What movie is Powder?
You don't remember Powder? Wasn't Powder about getting struck by lightning?
Oh, I don't think I saw that. He was like an albino, he had no hair, he was struck by lightning. He could do something.
No, didn't see that. Sometimes I get Powder and What's Eating Gilbert Grape confused.
Okay, yeah, I did see that. Powder, I don't know Powder. You've seen Powder, you've seen it.
Okay, all right. What's the best. You've seen it, we'll watch it again.
What's the best movie you've seen with my son recently?
Well, we just started Chupa, but we watched the other day,
God, my memory.
What was the one that we watched that was so good?
Wishing?
Dragon Wish was so good.
Wish Dragon.
Wish Dragon, so good.
I watch real movies with him and then I just wait
for your daughter to come down and just scream at me.
It's weird that you claim to love movies,
but I've never seen you stay awake
in front of the television longer than 10 minutes.
That's the stress of work.
I will now do that.
As that goes away in my retirement,
I'll watch movies start to finish.
Normally, how long does it take you to get through a movie?
You mean after I fall asleep and wake back up?
Right, right.
Do you, Reese, do you?
I do watch what I've missed.
Yes.
Right, but I'm saying does it take you normally two viewings to get through a movie or three?
Where are you at?
If the movie's bad, it would take two, yeah.
Talk about some of your favorite recent movies that you've liked.
I hope you see Michael Keaton's movie, Knox Goes Away.
That's really good.
Really good.
I have no idea. It's out? I should watch that? You can watch it. It's terrific. Michael Keaton's movie, Knox Goes Away, that's really good. Really good.
I have no idea, it's out?
Yeah. I should watch that?
You can watch it, it's terrific.
I'm gonna watch it.
I like Furious, so we just saw that, that was good.
George Miller's movie.
Dune was good, Dune 2, part two.
Love that.
I like science fiction, I know you don't.
I do. You like science fiction.
I do.
And you like war.
I love war movies.
What was the best, what was that last war movie
that won the Oscar?
Saving Private Ryan no
What?
What the last one the one this past year?
Oppenheimer that war movie is that a great movie by the war I have no idea
Okay, so it's a war movie it's to love Oppenheimer fantastic
What about that long pile of shit
with all the legends in there?
That was like maybe two years ago.
The Irishman?
The Irishman.
Did you love that?
It was okay, I think I recall.
No, what do you mean you recall?
I don't remember the Irishman that well.
I thought you, you know.
The Irishman?
How do you forget movies?
You know everything about movies.
Explain to our viewers what von Willebrand disease is and which one of you gave it to all your children.
Oh my gosh. Okay, so a form of hemophilia that is passed down and it unfortunately takes, I believe, both parents to pass it on.
That could be incorrect.
That's incorrect.
Is that incorrect? Okay.
Yeah, that's incorrect.
So it's strictly just coming from me 100%?
Yes.
Okay.
Sorry, sorry kids.
You have a bleeding disorder.
By the way, you don't even know about it,
but here's what I'm gonna show.
Oh yeah.
Show me,
Carl.
Yeah, yeah, show me those.
I thought they were liver spots the other day.
I go, what's that horrible scar on your wrist?
It's your dog.
And he says, your dog, Carl, bit him.
No, he jumped up on me.
That's from Carl?
Oh, wasn't his teeth?
No, that's his paws.
Oh, they don't care anymore.
Oh, okay.
Well, so many people accuse me of drugging Carl
because he's so lethargic,
but there's evidence that he's got a wild side.
Now, you were a hippie as a child,
or in your teen, early twenties, correct?
College, hippie for sure.
Drugs?
Can I say that?
Yeah, a little.
Low stuff, low grade stuff.
What was your drug of choice that you enjoyed the most?
Pot, we smoked pot.
What about crystal meth?
Never.
You never did crystal meth?
You haven't lived, your daughter, she loves it.
Of course, yes, you can tell.
Not the one I married.
Um.
So you did some marijuana.
Yeah, we smoked.
When is the last time you've had marijuana?
Like in edibles?
You had an edible ever?
Not pot edibles.
The CBDs we do, occasionally.
Who's we?
Who's we? Tammy and I. You guys are doing drugs over there in Florida? CBDs we do occasionally. Who's we?
Who's we?
Tammy and I.
You guys are doing drugs over there in Florida?
Occasionally, occasionally.
We quit smoking pot when she got pregnant
with Jordan, our oldest.
Oh, so you've got like a 40 year dry spell.
Do you think now that you're a retired empty nester,
do you think you might,
and I believe this year on the ballot in Florida,
recreational marijuana is gonna be on it.
Are you gonna vote for it or against it?
Oh, I'm for it, yeah.
I'm for it.
Yeah, I refuse to get into politics with you
because you're a fiscal conservative through and through.
Yes, yes.
That's fair, right?
Okay, good.
Yet it's so weird because you're very artistic,
you're a famous artist,
you care about Hollywood on some level.
You love film.
You know every actor, you know every director.
You watch every movie.
Speaking of which, you randomly, no experience,
you're a banker, were cast in a movie.
The Wounded Healer.
Okay, what is it called?
The Wounded Healer.
All right, you were in a horror film.
You had this random friend.
A lot of times you hang out with people
that are just random walks.
Phil, his name is Phil.
His name is Phil.
And he made a horror movie and he cast you in it.
And you had no experience, but he's like,
you were interested and you said, yes, I'll do this.
Yes, that's true.
Which is also funny to me because it's like,
I can't imagine anyone saying to my father,
would you like to be in a film? And him saying, yes, I'll do this. I'll pretend with you because this is in Florida
This isn't like there was no budget for this zero. Okay, then he has you do some lines. He's like, oh you're bad
So he cut all your lines out. Yes, then I was not gonna speak. That's true. So it became a silent film
Just my part.
I was gonna be silent.
Okay.
I was the evil person.
I think it was in a wheelchair too.
I was the evil old white guy.
Did you, an evil, was there a race element to this?
Yeah, Wounded Healer's black.
He's...
Well, I don't know.
I didn't see this.
No one saw this piece of shit.
It's still not out.
It's still not out.
I don't mean to call, Oh, he's still working.
Can I get a clip of you in that maybe?
I'll ask.
All right.
So, we've got him.
By the way, Tammy was in it and so was Chase.
Yes.
And your son was all of them.
Did they have lines?
Uh huh.
Yeah.
Tammy and I had shared scenes.
They were awful.
Oh man.
Awful.
Talk about the cancer and all the ass play that was involved.
Yes.
So prostate cancer.
When? What year? Two and a half years ago. That was a big phone call. all the ass play that was involved. Yes, so prostate cancer.
When, what year?
Two and a half years ago.
That was a big phone call.
That was a big phone call, that was no fun.
You know what's funny?
Funny, it's funny now because you're here,
you're cancer free, but in the moment,
when you went in to be tested,
and the doctor came out to talk to you and your wife,
he just, and this is what doctors do.
Doctors don't have time for the most part.
They don't have time to sit you down and he just came out and goes, OK,
so here's how we're going to handle your cancer.
And you were like, whoa, what did you just say?
Yeah.
How did he say it?
Just like that. Up until that point, there was at least a chance that I did not have cancer, but he just came out and said,
okay, here's what we're gonna do for your cancer.
And then after that, you just stopped listening
because you're just like, you just said I have cancer.
That's a horrible blow.
Yeah, it was no fun.
We caught it in time though.
You did, but you were stage four?
Yes.
Uh-huh.
And you texted and you called all of your kids and you said,
guys, and you milked it for everything it was worth.
You said, dad's leaving.
That's a little untrue.
You said, dad's a goner.
Carly especially was hard to talk to.
Oh, she couldn't handle it.
No, that's killed me.
I know.
I had to be right there.
I was like, oh, boy, here we go.
The rest of them were pretty good about it.
The rest of them didn't care.
Yeah, that was it.
Carly took it hard.
Yeah, she did.
And so over 40 treatments of radiation
and they put a balloon up your butthole, inflated it
so that they could keep your prostate
in the right position while the radiation zaps the cancer.
100% correct.
And they got it all.
They did.
But your butthole, you couldn't hold in a fart to save your life now.
It has a lot of side effects, yes.
Those of us out there in viewer land that had prostate cancer understand that.
Lots of side effects.
And how are you feeling today?
I feel great.
You don't have to get any more checkups
or do you have to go yearly?
Where are you at?
I was going yearly.
He just told me, Dr. Sylvester told me
I did not have to come back.
So that's good.
That's amazing.
It's wonderful.
And you actually gifted me one of your balloons.
I did.
I thought your sense of humor would appreciate that.
I have it.
I still have the balloon.
I thought I was getting it today. Was it I have it. I still have the balloon.
I thought I was getting it today.
Was it a used balloon?
No, that one was fresh.
Yes.
By the way, how did they catch it?
What exam did you have?
PSA.
PSA kept crawling up.
So once it got too high, they did a biopsy.
Watch your PSA.
What should your PSA be?
Under four. Under four? Does anybody know what their PSA. What should your PSA be? Under four.
Under four?
Does anybody know what their PSA is?
You guys are too young, but when they start measuring it,
be aware of that.
You know yours, Eddie?
What's your PSA?
It's like under one.
Oh, that's very good.
Under one.
That's excellent, Eddie.
Have you ever heard one of Eddie's farts?
I have not.
Oh my goodness.
It would sound like his PSA is well over six.
Under one is great.
That's fantastic.
Good for you, Eddie.
You have no issues.
When will I need to find out?
I'm 45 to 50.
You're about ready.
I'm 49.
50 you should start.
I just had my first colonoscopy.
Yeah, those are fun.
That prep work is brutal.
It's brutal.
It's horrible.
It's just so much.
You just think, oh, this has got to stop soon.
And it just doesn't.
I got to do one next year.
Thanks for reminding me.
Do you do the at home one?
Oh, you mean the prep?
Yeah, of course.
No, the prep at home.
But now you can take, after you've done the prep,
you can just take a poop smear, if you've already
had proper colonoscopies, and just mail it in and they can check.
I can't do that with what I had.
I have to go get it checked.
Good to know.
You got any piercings?
I don't.
Any tattoos?
I do have three little dots on me
from the cancer treatment.
Oh, speaking of dots,
have you by chance ever seen a stripper
who didn't have a single mole on her body?
That's a great story. You're really digging in the past. I have once. That was my last
foray into topless dancing.
No it wasn't because as soon as you process, you told me that story. You go, this is the
last time I ever went to a strip club. And then you went, well, and then I was at another
strip club like six months later.
Is that right? You have a better memory than me.
You ever pooped your pants as an adult?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
Once again, a side effect of-
Oh, it's post-prostate.
Post-prostate.
It's really got a lot of problems attached to it.
You know another funny thing that you said one time
that made me laugh?
You go, I was at work today and I was talking to this lady
and she found out that you were my son-in-law
because I told her.
Got a lot of mileage out of that.
It just made me laugh.
Because I told her.
That tickled me.
Have I ever cost you any loans?
No, you have not.
Okay.
That's good to hear.
I would hate for somebody to be like, I don't. Okay. That's good to hear. Yes.
I would hate for somebody to be like,
I don't want to be in business with this guy.
Have you ever used it to your advantage?
No, it's just conversation.
Mm-hmm.
I don't believe you either.
Have I ever picked you up?
You mean physically?
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
Have I?
Yes.
When have I picked you up?
Horsing around.
Yes.
Horsing around. I remember one time you came into the Reno airport
and I ran up and grabbed you and lift you up
and you're like, put me down, put me down.
Very endearing.
Oh, that makes me laugh.
Yes or no.
Can you get into a hammock?
Not very well, yes.
I've got multiple videos of him trying to get into a hammock.
Why don't you just stay away from them?
They're not meant for you.
Perhaps, they're very comfortable if you can get in them.
Getting out's a different story.
You just roll every time, just, it's so comical.
I always feel like you're doing a bit.
You end up on the floor a lot.
I do, it's old age.
I watched you fall yesterday.
I did.
Trying to get into.
That was embarrassing, I thought you saw to get into. That was embarrassing. I thought you saw that.
Yes, that was embarrassing.
Well, just ask for help.
No, no, no.
I'll carry you around.
I don't care.
All right, sweet, thanks.
Are all the exotic trips that I plan and take you on
worth the amount of tomfoolery that comes with having me
as your son-in-law?
Oh, absolutely, yeah.
These are great trips.
Did you have fun in Mexico?
We just went to Mexico together.
Mexico was fantastic. First time I've ever been there.
It was the first time you've ever been to Mexico.
The second time I've been out of the country.
Alright.
First time was your wedding.
No, it was the third time. It's the third time you've been out of the country.
Stop it. Jesus, you forget everything.
That's right.
You went to Iceland too.
And London.
I brought you to Mexico for the first time.
Yes.
And I had, or I didn't have this, I didn't set this up.
This just happened.
This was part of your retirement party.
But a Mexican older man serenaded you.
He did, Nico.
Nico, he sang right to you.
Sang El Rey.
And it made your wife weep.
We're not sure what made her weep, but go ahead.
Did she cry at the song?
I didn't see that.
I think she was crying. I think she did cry a little song? I didn't see that. I think she was crying.
I think she did cry a little bit.
I didn't see that.
Your wife has only cried four times in her entire life
is the count that I think everybody's on.
Yes, I mean.
Two of those times we're in Mexico
and none of us can wrap our heads around it.
No comment.
She was just overwhelmed.
She was overwhelmed.
With love.
That's the sweet thing. That's what I think it was.
That's lovely.
Is she the one in the house that could fix everything growing up?
That is absolutely true.
Yes.
Quite the tomboy.
I can't do anything.
Who was the disciplinarian?
I'm going to say me.
Yeah.
That's a tough one.
I heard a couple of times you got a little...
I had to yell at your wife a couple of times. Not often. You do it right now, I swear to God. I'll going to say me. Yeah. That's a tough one. I heard a couple of times you got a little... I had to yell at your wife a couple of times, not often.
You do it right now, I swear to God.
I'll turn this table over.
Okay, I'll behave myself.
You think you could beat me in a fight?
I'll give it a row. Let's go.
I'm getting old though.
I would pummel you.
You probably would. Yeah.
Maybe we'll play tennis again one of these days.
Oh, you'll pummel me.
Yeah, but you better.
You better.
I took you for a walk yesterday.
I walked you and Carl.
Long walk.
But we're going to do that every day.
Oh, boy.
Don't we?
I'm telling you, we got to get you back.
You're going to be playing tennis.
You're going to be at 175.
It's going to be exciting.
I'm looking forward to it.
We're going to have 30 more years of Daddy Halem.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.

Every week on Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, I invite an artist, writer, or politician to come to the
table and speak from the heart in ways I imagine you haven't heard from them before. Some of my
favorites are with Tom Hanks, Margaret Atwood, Questlove, Cate Blanchett, and Oscar Isaac. If that sounds like a varied group of people,
it's because it is. I always wanted to make a show where one week we could sit with a politician
like Beto O'Rourke, the next an author like Min Jin Lee, or TV titans like Bill Hader and
Quinta Brunson. Basically, this is a podcast driven by curiosity
and an abundance of research, conversations where people actually start to sound like
people. In recent weeks, I sat with Dan Levy, Ava DuVernay, Benny Safdie, and the editor
of The New Yorker, David Remnick. You can listen to Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso on the
iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts. I hope to see you there.
Meet the real woman behind the tabloid headlines in a personal podcast that delves into the
life of the notorious Tori Spelling as she takes us through the ups and downs of her
sometimes glamorous, sometimes chaotic, life and marriage. I don't think he knew how big it would be,
how big the life I was given and live is.
I think he was like, oh yeah, things come and go,
but with me, it never came and went.
Is she Donna Martin or a down and out divorcee?
Is she living in Beverly Hills or a trailer park?
In a town where the lines are blurred,
Tory is finally going to clear the air in the podcast Misspelling.
When a woman has nothing to lose,
she has everything to gain.
I just filed for divorce.
Whoa! I said the words.
Ha! That I've said, like, in my head for, like, 16 years.
Wild.
