Mike Gallagher. Every day Mike visits with Mark Davis. Morning host on 660 AM The Answer in Dallas. Here’s today’s Eminem experience.
SPEAKER 04 :
I remembered years ago I was invited to be an extra in a movie or a TV show. And here’s the weird part about this. I remember that Andrew Breitbart was the guest celebrity cameo the week before. The week before I did it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Was this when you guys were in powdered wigs like the Founding Fathers or something?
SPEAKER 04 :
How do you remember this? Now, I couldn’t remember it. All right, so I’m in powdered wigs.
SPEAKER 05 :
I can’t find my car keys, but I know stuff Mike did in past decades.
SPEAKER 04 :
But you want to know who doesn’t know what Mike did decades? Mike. Exactly. I have no memory of this at all. That’s why you have me. That’s why you have me. Mark, it’s terrible. I mean, I don’t want to. Look, I’m nervous about sometimes. I think my memory’s pretty good, but I don’t remember. I didn’t remember the name of it. I didn’t remember where I went. I remember I went into the woods somewhere, and it was a big movie set, and they had, like, you know, a trailer for us.
SPEAKER 05 :
If I’m ever on a movie set doing actual something, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life. Well, maybe because it’ll be a singular event for me, and you’re on the Broadway stage, and
SPEAKER 04 :
No, no, it would have been a big deal. I mean, I’ve done two movies. I did a Jackie Mason movie. I kind of remember that. I was the prosecutor in that. Twelve Angry Men. Jackie, God rest his soul, invited me to come on. He was a big fan of the show, and I came on and did a little role along with Mark Levin. He was the judge. Mark Levin was the judge in the movie, and I was the prosecutor.
SPEAKER 05 :
This was an actual movie?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes. IMDb it. IMDb at 12 Angry Men with Jackie Mason, with Mike Gallagher as the prosecutor and Mark Levin as the judge. Now, I also did a movie about, and I have no idea, any memory of this, who invited me, why I was there. All I remembered was that Andrew Breitbart was there the week before. They were all buzzing about Andrew Breitbart. He put on a powdered wig and did the same thing. A listener emailed me last night and reminded me it’s called Courage, New Hampshire. So I Googled it. I went to YouTube, in fact, and I put in Courage, New Hampshire, Mike Gallagher. And they played my scene. Mark, it’s so bad, my ears and my eyes started bleeding. I got this stupid powdered wig on. They’re about to hang a guy. And I’ve got the most horrific British accent. And my eyes are bulging out. It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Maybe that’s why I blocked it out. Because I have no memory of it at all. Well, we need audio like today. I know. Well, I’m embarrassed about it, but I was going to tell the team.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s why we need audio today.
SPEAKER 04 :
I know. You’re right. I have a hunch. I would do it. I’ll bet by the end of our segment when we talk about Trump’s maniacal fascistic dictator move.
SPEAKER 01 :
Authoritarian. Authoritarian.
SPEAKER 04 :
We talk about D.C. and crime. I’ll bet you the team, I’ll bet Christian and Eric can figure out. How to Google Courage New Hampshire. Go to YouTube, guys. Courage New Hampshire, Mike Gallagher. It’s only like a 30. I’ve got one line. And it’s so bad. I can’t do accents. You, on the other hand, you do great accents. Mr. Showbiz Mike, Broadway Mike, I can’t ever do accents.
SPEAKER 05 :
Do you remember what the line was? What was the line? Do you remember?
SPEAKER 04 :
Like something about, are you going to live? Oh, no, it’s bad. The guys will find it. It was Gorka. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Gorka.
SPEAKER 04 :
I try to do Gorka to imitate a British accent. We ought to encourage New Hampshire, Mike. Remember when I played Mr. Bumble at Dallas’ Lyric Stage in a production of Oliver? Well, the director, Cheryl Denson, we were halfway through rehearsals and I am in flop sweat trying to do a British accent because everybody’s got to have a British accent. And Mr. Bumble, of course, the workhouse guy that is mean to the kids and everything, got to have a British accent. Halfway through the rehearsals, Cheryl, in her dry wit, looks up to me and she says, Mike, are you going to start the British accent anytime soon? I’m studying. I’m trying. I can’t do it. I can’t do a British accent. I can’t do it. That’s why I don’t understand accents on TV.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I was going to say this is probably where you’re from.
SPEAKER 02 :
Out in these parts, some folks call it radio. We call it the last campfire of the American spirit. Stoke the fire of freedom with American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avalone and Stephen Parr. American Ground Radio, planting seeds, growing freedom. Listen wherever you get your podcasts and visit our website at AmericanGroundRadio.com.
SPEAKER 05 :
aversion came from, because I keep giving him these wonderful shows like the fantastic Scottish procedural drama, police procedural called Department Q, because everybody is walking around saying, I don’t know where the body is lost. I’ve got to find it.
SPEAKER 04 :
I can’t do it. I’ve got no power. See how good your accent is? See? I can’t do it. I can’t do it. So we’ll see if Christian can come up with it. We’ll play it before the segment’s over. Courage, New Hampshire. Mike Gallagher as some weird village idiot with a powdered wig on and with a bad British accent.
SPEAKER 05 :
are people who have struggled with accents because we’re talking about kevin costner whom i love and he was in bodyguard with whitney houston a movie i just found to be lame but he’s so great so great in uh yellowstone and he’s been so great in oh gosh dances with wolves one of my favorite movies ever but costner’s been in some absolute duds from uh tin cup with renee russo right uh a lot of people didn’t like water world i actually did i like water world But where I’m going here is Robin Hood. During the same movie, his accent appears, disappears, appears, disappears, so you’re in good company.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, remember, hey, famously Dick Van Dyke as Bert in Mary Poppins. He was mocked for one of the worst British accents ever. That was terrible. To this day, Dick Van Dyke jokes about it, saying that no… And here we’ve got Julie Andrews, he’s co-starring with a Brit. She had to be mortified. Because, I mean, you know, he’s… And I’ve got a really good friend who’s a British actor in New York. He and his wife always kid about bad British accents. But, you know, so what? Accents are accents.
SPEAKER 05 :
I would say that it is not easy to do. And yet, find me Sarah Snook. Who’s Australian. And she was Shiv in Succession. Find me… Oh, who is in… Who’s the Australian… She’s in Platonic with Seth Rogen. A lot of Australians. Australians and Brits. Hugh Jackman. You’ll watch a show, and you’ll love a show, and you’ll find that… Seven or eight of the people in this American show about American stuff are British or Australian doing drop-dead perfect American accents, which, of course, to me means burn.
SPEAKER 04 :
I know. All right, here we go. Let’s end this with the thorough and total humiliation of Mike Gallagher. The crew found it. I give you Mike as some weird sot in some village weird exchange from the series that nobody probably watched… Courage, New Hampshire. This is from like, oh, I guess 20 years ago.
SPEAKER 03 :
Bless the government. He’s a fair man.
SPEAKER 04 :
That was it. That was it. That was it. That was my line. At the very beginning. Do it again real quick. Do it again, Christian. At the very beginning. This is me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Bless the government. He’s a fair man. Look how bad that is.
SPEAKER 05 :
What do you say before he’s a fair man? I think I’m saying bless the government. He’s a fair man. Mike Gallagher saying bless the government?
SPEAKER 04 :
No kidding. I’m trying to do a British accent badly. Look how bad that is. He’s a fair man. He’s a fair man. One more time, Christian. Let’s hear it one more time.
SPEAKER 03 :
Bless the government. He’s a fair man.
SPEAKER 04 :
It gets worse. It gets worse.
SPEAKER 05 :
It gets worse.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s awful. Oh, no. Dick Van Dyke sounds like Winston Churchill compared to me. That’s awful.
SPEAKER 05 :
He’s John Gielgud.
SPEAKER 04 :
He is. It’s Sir John Gielgud. Lawrence Olivier. You know, that’s bad. That’s bad. I’m sorry. I love you, man. That’s something. I love you, too.
SPEAKER 05 :
But there you are in a full costume and a powdered wig doing a real TV show.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s awesome. I haven’t done that. I don’t remember where. I think it was in North. The IMDB said it was filmed in New Hampshire, but I don’t think I went to New Hampshire.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m going to tell you something, Dave. If you need another reason to love the Founding Fathers, whom I love no matter what, imagine how hot and uncomfortable and everything you were. They were there in Philadelphia in July wearing all those get-ups with all the stockings and the wigs and stuff like that. Can you imagine just the hygienic issues alone as they’re trying to craft a country?
SPEAKER 04 :
God bless the Founding Fathers. You know what you made me think of? Broadway Mike, my wife’s favorite musical of all time. Sit down, John. Sit down, John. You know what that’s from? Sit down, John. John, sit down.
