Post-AGT Appearance 1305: The Matt Walsh Show WWTN 99.7 fm August 23

Man of my Dreams would have dropped out of the top 100.

While starting to film the 3 movies I would have lost 2 days to heat prostration and one to respiratory difficulties. While being treated for the heat prostration the doctor would have told me that I had had covid 19 years ago and it left my lungs weakened-long covid. So I would be reclining as often as possible and using my cpap machine while awake also. Since 2 of my 3 characters would be ill we would have filmed my sickest scenes during the days that followed-quite convincingly.

Biden would have withdrawn from the race the exact same day. Despite a deluge of requests to myself and my agent I would decide not to comment until after the convention. The convention would have been very different. In addition to Harris, Marianne Williamson, Dean Phillips and 2 others would have been nominated. Over 100 delegates, including the whole Delaware delegation, would have voted for Biden. Harris would have been behind until California voted and would not have clinched until they got to Virginia.

Phil Donahue would have started in 75th place on the list of people suspected of being the last name on Phillip's sick list, never rose higher and dropped out of the top 100 in 2021. Still I would need to comment on his death. Since his widow is also very ill we would agree not to make any joke about it. At last I would decide to combine my first comment about the Democratic developments with a comment about Donahue. We would release it late this afternoon and the first to quote it would be Matt Walsh on WWTN in Tennessee. He hosts a talk show from 11 pm to midnight. He would mention it at the end of his opening comments.

Walsh: Also in the news this week, a matter of no small concern to one in my profession, the passing of legendary talk show host Phil Donahue. I won't say everyone is mourning, but a lot of people are thinking, including one Phil Cole. Here in Tennessee we love Phil Cole for his 3 Tennessee characters and some old fashioned country songs. His social commentary is a little erratic but that's his business. Still he just released a comment that will make sense to...some of you. Maybe you could call or text me about it. He says.

PBC: Phil Donahue died at the perfect time for a man like him: just before the Democratic convention destroyed the causes he was dreaming of.

Walsh: Wow! We'll be right back.

Eleanor taunts her pursuers in Gone in 60 Seconds (H.B. Halicki, 1974)

Cast: H.B. Halicki, Marion Busia, Jerry Daugirda, James McIntyre, George Cole, Ronald Halicki, Markos Kotsikos. Screenplay: H.B. Halicki. Cinematography: Scott Lloyd-Davies, Jack Vacek. Art direction: Dennis Stouffer. Film editing: Warner E. Leighton. Music: Ronald Halicki, Philip Kachaturian. 

True, Americans love cars. But it's equally true that they love seeing them crash. Gone in 60 Seconds is the fulfillment of stunt driver H.B. "Toby" Halicki's dream: to make a movie with the wildest, most destructive car chase in film history. At that he succeeds, with a 40-minute scene in which a yellow 1973 Ford Mustang called Eleanor takes on all comers, leaving 93 automobiles in ruins. Eleanor is the true star of the film, as Halicki realizes: She's the only performer mentioned in the opening credits. The remaining hour or so of the film is just setup, although an additional 32 cars get wrecked in some fashion before the big chase. Halicki plays Maindrian Pace, an insurance investigator with a sideline: He and his crew steal cars and resell them after disguising the stolen cars with identification numbers and license plates taken from similar models they buy from junkyards. (As an upright insurance man, he insists that all the stolen cars be insured.) When he gets a big order from a Venezuelan drug lord for 48 vehicles of all sorts, he and his gang set out to procure them. Each car is given a woman's name as a way of keeping track of them. There are a few hiccups: Nancy, a Cadillac Eldorado, is discovered to have a trunk full of heroin; Maindrian insists that she has to be destroyed, which angers his brother-in-law, Eugene (Jerry Daugirda), who wants to sell the drugs. Eleanor is also a problem: At the very last minute before he's supposed to deliver the cars, Maindrian discovers that she's uninsured, which goes against his rule. Fortunately, he knows where another Eleanor can be stolen, which further angers Eugene, who rats out Maindrian to the cops, giving them the location where Maindrian is going to steal her. When he's discovered, Maindrian takes off in the new Eleanor, leading a flotilla of cop cars from various Southern California towns and cities into the film's autopocalypse. The remarkable thing about the great chase is that Halicki was able to get cooperation from various authorities, ranging from the California Highway Patrol to the mayors and city councils of the towns through which it runs. The story of how the movie was made is in some ways more interesting than the movie itself. Halicki, driving Eleanor, was seriously injured in one scene and had to shut down filming for three weeks. (Fifteen years later, Halicki was killed in an accident while making a sequel to the movie.) Much of Gone in 60 Seconds is tedious setup exposition, and it's poorly acted -- the cast largely consists of Halicki's friends and family -- but those 40 minutes are golden, a tribute to Halicki's persistence and especially to his cameramen, stunt drivers, and film editors.
