Join us as we uncover the gripping story behind the Gilgo Beach Murders, a chilling account that captures the fascination of true crime enthusiasts. We’ll explore the interplay of crime and documentary filmmaking, revealing how these stories captivate audiences. The discussion takes a light-hearted turn as we explore the role of AI in content creation, questioning its impact on creativity and originality.
It is a testament to the Brian Wilson Beach Boys catalog that I got a whole show filled with bumper music all day long, and I will not scratch the surface today. Wall to wall, Brian Wilson. I will not scratch the surface covering this library. Mike, are you kind of like me? And I think because you’re a couple years younger than me, huge appreciation of this catalog. But when they first became huge, we’re like in first, second, third, fourth grade. It wasn’t like front of mind wheelhouse. We would actually need to be a little older to be the perfect Brian Wilson fan group. I don’t know. What are your thoughts?
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, I mean, the last surviving brother. What a legacy. What an impact. And it must be quite the feeling for his family to know that. that even though he may have passed away, his music will be just immortal. I mean, it’s going to always be with us forever. And so, yeah, just what a story. And what a tough life he had. A very difficult life. There’s a documentary.
SPEAKER 03 :
I think there are a couple of documentaries. There was one I saw maybe five, six, seven years ago of somebody, and he didn’t do a lot of access. He didn’t do a lot of interviews, especially in the later days when he was kind of scared of the world and just getting out of the house. I don’t know if it was, what is it, agoraphobia, where you’re just afraid of everything? But they’re just kind of going around eating breakfast at places, you know, in Laguna Beach and stuff like that. It was so charming and so wonderful and kind of sad. But in a way, he wasn’t unhappy. He wasn’t it wasn’t a miserable life. And it was just just did you ever do you ever wish? That’s kind of funny. I like the era into which I was born. I’m very pleased with it. But it must have been something kind of cool to be a smidge older than we are, to be a teenager in 1963 or 65.
SPEAKER 02 :
I often think about that because I wonder if people have, yeah, I mean, but to me, maybe it’s because of just what we were raised on and what we heard. The music of the 70s is everything to me. I mean, there’s a 70s channel on SiriusXM that I’m glued to. I ask Eric to always, you know, mirror their playlist because I like those songs. And so, yeah, I guess maybe it’s just a lack of familiarity because you’re right. When you think about it, I mean, they were all in their prime when we were just little kids. Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
I mean, everybody I love, you know, Tom Petty, every 70s act you and I love, the formative thing for them, the formative thing for them was February 1964, Beatles on Ed Sullivan, which I don’t remember for a couple of reasons. Number one, we were in England, so that’s kind of… And it just wasn’t quite old enough. Of course, if we were a smidge older than we were, we also might have died in Vietnam. So you got that, too.
SPEAKER 02 :
True that. There is that. Hey, you mentioned documentaries. You know, we always love talking about. I always get emails from people saying, I love the TV and movie ideas I get from the Eminem experience. Because you and I love film and movies and theater. I want to get to the Kennedy Center last night and Les Mis. And what did not happen?
SPEAKER 03 :
Anyway, that’s right.
SPEAKER 02 :
Right, right, right. So we’ll get to that in a minute. But here’s my latest binge watch recommendation. Ready. True Crime Mike. The Gilgo Beach Murders, okay? This was fascinating. Serial killer, Long Island. This guy named Rex Heuermann. And Mark, it’s the most fascinating story because he lived like this normal life. Family man. husband father they had a little house this junky little crappy house in Massapequa Park New York 1100 square feet he’s off according to the charges and he’s about to face trial he’s off at night soliciting sex workers murdering them dumping their bodies in a in an isolated part and the wife claim and the documentary that’s on I think it’s Paramount route no it’s Peacock Peacock right now has a three-part documentary, and she’s there giving full access to the filmmakers, the documentary makers, the wife and the daughter and the son, and they believe in him. Oh, he didn’t do it. And the evidence is like a slam dunk that he did. He’s this hulking, scary-looking guy. But, Mark, he was an architect who worked in midtown Manhattan. Because Gilgo Beach is Long Island, right? That’s right. He lived out on Long Island, Massapequa Park, but he would commute on the Long Island Railroad into Manhattan, do his job. And then when the wife and the kids would go away on vacation, he’d murder sex workers. He’d torture and rape and horrible. I mean, this is like the hit of the summer. It is. Check it out on Peacock. And then let’s do 30 seconds because you were so right about Mission Impossible. Man, man, oh, man. That’s filmmaking right there, man. That is filmmaking.
SPEAKER 03 :
Let’s talk human nature for five seconds because, as you said, and thank you for hopping on to X and saying, you know, Mark Davis is right. Don’t believe the haters or the malcontents.
SPEAKER 02 :
Who was it that said it’s overrated? Jack Posobiec or somebody told us it’s terrible. So whatever. No, it’s not.
SPEAKER 03 :
And maybe you’ve got the Tom Cruise Scientology bug up your butt, which I do too, but I’m compartmentalizing. There is something about, I guarantee you there are people walking around today going, Brian Wilson, Beach Boys suck. There is something about some people where they just can’t have nice things, and they think the haughty taste is like, it has mass appeal, so you like it, but I’m too elevated. I’m too evolved to like that, and it’s just, just stop it. I mean, not everything has to be your cup of tea, and if you got…
SPEAKER 02 :
I do that sometimes. I do that like Game of Thrones. I’m like, ugh, I don’t get it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, me too. But you’re not looking down your nose at it. You’re not saying it sucks.
SPEAKER 02 :
It’s just not your cup of tea.
SPEAKER 03 :
I have said I do not do Realms, Kingdoms, Hobbits, Dragons, Lord of the Rings. All 14 of those movies are great. I know it. I could not care less. Harry Potter could not care less. But they’re great. They’re just not my cup of tea. Now, so you’re in the movie, right? Every bit of three hours. Didn’t look at my watch once. Unbelievable how fast. But there is something I did do once. I’m surprised it was only once. And that’s I went to the bathroom. Because, hey, it’s a two-hour, 50-minute movie. There’s an app. There is an app called RunP. R-U-N-P-E-E. Tells you when to go? It tells you in a movie when you can go. And when the best time is to go so you don’t miss anything. And then it tells you what happened while you’re in there. Pfft.
SPEAKER 02 :
I loved it. I would have needed it because I had to go.
SPEAKER 03 :
I went right after the submarine part. I just, oh, maybe it was all that water. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 02 :
But tell me, but there is no way. I refuse to believe that he does all his own stunts. I don’t know. Mark, he can’t. He can’t. Well, that’s what they say. And he’s upside down hanging out of a helicopter. The plane. No way. I know. No way. No way. Because these stunts are so dangerous and he is such a gazillion dollar asset. Why would they even allow him to do that? Look, we’re probably headed back to Israel in October. And I’m excited about that. But the insurance process that we have to go through just for somebody dope like me to go, it’s jumping through hoops. You know, because look, we got a team. We got people that work for me if something happens. We got to take responsibility. Well, take me. Nobody like me times a gazillion for him. They’re going to put everything in jeopardy by having him jump out of an airplane.
SPEAKER 03 :
And the answer is apparently so. Now, here’s so my buddy, Dr. Grock, says Tom Cruise is known for performing many of his own.

SPEAKER 03 :
Stuts and the MI franchise mention Impossible Final Reckoning, no exception. Multiple sources confirm that Cruise personally executed the film’s most high-profile stunts, including the standout biplane sequence where he clings to the wing of a vintage biplane at 8,000 feet. He trained for it for over a year, including wing-walking practice.
SPEAKER 02 :
So, oh, I just can you imagine that like the company, the movie executives like, oh, no, please, let’s not kill our star. Yeah. I mean, and speaking of grok, incidentally, you prefer grok over chat.
SPEAKER 03 :
Don’t care. Coin flip. I mean, since I’m in the Twitter landscape so much, the grok button is the easiest thing to just.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, Tracy tells me yesterday, because I’m into this now. I’m like overwhelmed by discovering the world of AI, okay? Big article today about the showdown between ChatGPT and all the different platforms that are emerging. And this is a space that is exploding. And you want to know why? Because it’s phenomenal. It sure is. I’ll never write another speech. I mean, for the rest of my life. Oh, no. Nope. Oh, no. Nope. Never again. Don’t do that. Don’t surrender your humanity. Stop it. I’m not surrendering my humanity. I’m making my life easier. What are you talking about? I mean, let it do some research. If I’ve got to do a 20-minute speech, if I’m going to the Kiwanis Club and they want 20 minutes. It’s not going to sound like you. I mean, it may sound like you. Yes, it will, because I know how to ad lib around it. Oh, I mean, okay, then let it do bullet points or something. No, no, no. No, but that’s what it is. Fight for humanity, Mike. That baloney. Don’t let the robots take over.
SPEAKER 01 :
Embrace it. Embrace it. I did.
SPEAKER 02 :
Is Mark Davis a successful talk show host? And you should see the glowing, flowery, and by the way, spot on biography they give. And they spit it out in about 20 seconds.
SPEAKER 1 :
20?
SPEAKER 02 :
What, he got a slow connection?
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s like three. I mean, is Mark Davis an insufferable ideologue? And it’ll probably give you some evidence of that, too. I wonder.
SPEAKER 02 :
See, I’m wondering about ideology on all this, because as we get into this world and Tracy said to me yesterday, she said, look, I don’t I don’t like she goes. I don’t want to do chat GPT because I think it leans to the left. But Grok, I feel probably leans to the right.
SPEAKER 03 :
I don’t think so. A year ago, I was asking it stuff like how many genders are there, and it gave me horrible answers like they were taken straight from the index cards of Simone Biles. It’s gotten much better. And these days, if you ask it really incendiary questions, it’ll say, well, you know, there are people who believe this and there are people who believe that. It’s like, you know what? That’s all I’m looking for.
SPEAKER 02 :
That’s all I’m looking for is it’s getting better. Let me pull the curtain back because I got into some hot water because I wore a plaid sport coat the other day on Salem News Channel. I loved it. I thought you were great. Well, but, you know, it’s busy and it kind of blends with the – and one of the executives said, I don’t really like the plaid sport coat. And they went to chat GPT, I’m not kidding you, for best practices – of TV wardrobe. And it gave you back, it gave us back what we now use as our guidelines. Yes, Mark Davis is widely regarded as a successful and influential talk radio host with over 40 years in broadcasting, primarily in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. He’s established himself as a prominent conservative voice in American media, extensive experience. He began his career in 1979. I want to see if any of this is… false totally true he’s worked at various stations including wbap in dallas and k sky right now where his show airs weekly he has guest hosted the rush limbaugh show here’s weekly uh currently airs weekdays sorry he’s guest it was right he guest hosted the rush limbaugh show he uh served as friday morning host for more i mean podcast popularity his podcast is available on platforms like apple where it has a 4.4 out of 5 rating i didn’t know that I’m telling you.
SPEAKER 01 :
Is that good?
SPEAKER 02 :
Davis has authored two books, Upside Down, How the Left Turned Right Into Wrong, Truth Into Lies, and Good Into Bad, and Lone Star America, As Texas Can Save Our Country. Listeners appreciate his articulate and engaging commentary on current events, politics, and culture. Reviews highlight his insightful analysis and approachable style. Yeah, right, approachable. For instance, one listener describes him. You lecturing me about approachability? I’m kidding. I’m kidding. For instance, one listener described him as a Texas treasure with a velvet voice who delivers current events in a witty and intelligent manner. Davis, I didn’t know this. Here’s where it goes. Political stance. All right. Ideology. It may be about to say something. OK, go ahead. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 03 :
Davis identifies as a libertarian conservative. That is straight from Wikipedia. And it’s 20 years old. I still kind of do. I mean, I kind of.
SPEAKER 02 :
OK, well, let me finish. Listen. Libertarianism informs my conservatism. Go ahead. Expressing opposition to smoking bans, religious indoctrination in public education, and illegal immigration while supporting the war on terror and drug prohibition.
SPEAKER 03 :
What do you know about Wikipedia? Can you go change your own Wikipedia page? I mean, yeah, I mean, because that’s because there’s it’s kind of funny. I mean, supports the war on terror. That is so 2003 because I did.
SPEAKER 02 :
But that’s what it does. It just goes to the Internet and it finds Wikipedia. It finds anything. In summary, Mark Davis’s longstanding career, national exposure and dedicated audience attest to his success as a talk radio host. But the point of this is you can do this with anything. Anything.
SPEAKER 03 :
You sure can. And for those wondering, listening around and going, AI, what even is that? Think of it in the following way. What the AI, chat GPTs and groks do for you. There’s something you need to know about, study, deliver a speech about, do whatever about. That’s right. It Googles a thousand things for you and then writes you a little executive summary, bam, and does it in five seconds.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay. And they did. And look, and they spit out two pages worth of, no, it’s not. Here’s what’s better.
SPEAKER 03 :
Lindsay Nelson and Craig Sager. This is the world of sports, I guess. I mean, they were rocking the plaid every time.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, I mean, there’s people, I know, but this is, they just want, they call it best practices. But see, this is the kind of stuff you can do in your workplace. It fascinates me. It really does. And so I know I’m late to the dance, but I’m in and out.
SPEAKER 03 :
If I ever learned that you’ve delivered a speech that AI wrote, I’m coming for you.
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m preparing today’s show based completely on ChatGPT. Let’s go to the phones. What is Mike’s opinion about the No Kings Day on Saturday? Will there be riots? I am concerned, Mark. I hope nobody gets hurt.
SPEAKER 03 :
I do, too. Why do you need that many face shields for a peaceful protest? Let’s go to the phones.
SPEAKER 02 :
It could be argued that face shields can prevent sunburn. In lieu of sunscreen, we need to preserve the First Amendment.
SPEAKER 03 :
The AI clock says we must go now. Go do your show.
SPEAKER 02 :
Goodbye. I love you. Have a good Thursday. I love you, too. Goodbye. Farewell. You are my friend.
SPEAKER 03 :
Bye. Yes. That’s Mike Gallagher. Ready to go. Ready to rock. All the humanity. You can stay in. 10 o’clock right here.
