Use this page to say hey, ask a question (which probably won’t get answered), or just to kiss the RG’s ass.

  2. The McDonald’s lawsuit wasn’t that the coffee was hot, it was that the coffee was brewed hot enough to give the elderly woman 3rd degree burns. She sewed to cover her medical expenses after McDonald’s refused to cover her medical expenses. This lawsuit is often erroneously used as an example of a frivolous lawsuit thanks to a smear campaign headed by McDonald’s.

  4. My recollection was that number two actually happened at his parents Lake house. #3 all the way.

    Also, I just finished listening to the Bill Graham interview. It was terrific and very informative. What I would like to share is that I worked with a guy that also played in the USC band in the 70’s without attending school there. I know this is true because he shared pictures of him in the band uniform as well as with the USC marching band. he also played trumpet. his story was kind of similar to Bill’s in that he played trumpet, they needed trumpet players and he showed up and started playing with the band.

    As far as other interviews, I for one would be interested in some M&B centric interviews like Previa, Tito, Lucky Butt, Skylord and Chuck. Plus it would be great to hear from Gina or Andy Chanley.

    Outside the M&B universe I would be interested to hear from restauranteurs that are now having to deal with the new tipping culture and the crazy competitive environment. I would also like to hear from people that are more focused on their passion for their job than money like park rangers or people that help people like therapists (you could double up with Chuck on this one)

    Thanks for continuing to do what you do Mark. I appreciate it!

    What a crazy story. Apparently lightening does strike twice.

  5. Great Show with Bill…..going to cover a few things from the show 1 about the scammers and the second what you and Bill discussed. As a Contractor myself, the latest thing people are doing now is saying they are licensed and insured through a business card showing they look official and scam the potential customers out of thousands, then when I get the call to try and start/finish a job that already in the whole with not much funding. Truly sad times we live in.

    About Mark I’m going with option C based off of his Aunt teaching him how to cook.

    Have a great day and keep up with what you do

  9. My recollection is that you lost your virginity at your parents lake house. I’m probably too late but I’m going with #3.

    Love the interviews. The Bonaduce interview was particularly great. Happy to hear that he’s doing well now.

    As to other interviews, while I know this is M&B centric, I would love to hear from Chuck Moshontz, Skylord, Producer Danny, Switchboarder Tito, Previa as well as Andy Chanley and Gina from your days at The Sound.

    Outside the M&B universe I would be interested to hear from a long time restauranteur, a journalist or newspaper person since their businesses seem to be much tougher and more complex now.

    Thanks for continuing to do what to do.

  10. 😂 well I sure the RG was was sitting in his bedroom at fifteen playing with his “base ball’s” with a hotdog in one hand and dreaming of getting laid probably on the baseball field. We all no he’s pretty fucking good at cooking up some kind of plan to do all three at once. So I’m going with a cook because he so good at cooking 🧑‍🍳 up all kinds of shit. With love ❤️ Chip wave

  11. Hello Mark,

    I just finished your book for the 3rd time (the audio version). The first time listened so fast that I missed so much being excited to hear your voice.

    2nd time I played closer attention and WOW so many things I had missed the first time.

    The 3rd time – WELL – It pierced my heart and explained something I was going thru and couldn’t place my finger on it. Anxiety and how to deal…

    Thinking about what I have been going through for at least 5 years. I had a prominent job was a AVP Payroll Manager for a Financial Company, I started at the bottom and worked hard to get that title and money.

    My sleep habits began to exist for 4 hours if i where lucky, my work days where 11-16 hours 6 days a week , I dealt with some of the biggest pussy’s in executive rolls and wanted the “payroll person to pay them their bonus’s and not pay taxes, yet they made millions…. After 27 years I had gone through 2 presidents, 3 CFO’s and 1 HR Director. When my last boss came aboard she was unbearable. I use to wish her harm as she walked across the parking lot and into the building as I could see her from my office window every morning.

    One day I literally stopped working looked around my huge corner office and said “I’m done” I loaded my purse with what was mine walked out, turned and looked back as I turned off my office light and said outload to my self – “I am not coming back”

    I called in sick the next day, the following day I called in and quit. No more bonuses, no more paycheck no more benefits.. Talk about a panic attack.

    I dodged calls from work as long as I could, I finally took a call from the president where I told him respectfully I was not returning.

    I made an appointment to see a Therapist, I actually attended 5 sessions. This was not for me – I never went back..

    After looking at my life, I decided that night to put down my nightly drink, went into bed and actually slept for over 12 hours. Best decision ever !!

    I am no where near where I was financially, but I have a good roof over my head food on the table, my daughter near me and my dogs – I still have that occasional drink when I have dinner with my girlfriends but now it’s fun..

    Know that I would never have understood my feelings if you had not shared yours… It fixed me !!!

    Looking forward to what the future holds and of course following the Thompson’s..

    Peace & Love
