Star Treking with Mark Thompson, the Six-Million-Dollar Minor Celebrity

Mark Thompson recalls his neighborly interaction with Johnny Depp when he lived in West Hollywood. He also used to play tennis with Harve Bennet, producer of “Star Trek,” “The Six Million Dollar Man” and “Mod Squad.” Mark plays listener talkbacks from fans who are both concerned and titillated by Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke’s rental woes. A wild incident at Disneyland saw a man and his family cut the line for a ride, followed by a confrontation and a beatdown resulting in stitches to a father’s face after the line-cutting man and family beat him up. It all happened as they waited to board the Indiana Jones ride. The McRib class-action lawsuit is on! Will you get a cut of that sweet, sweet McDonald’s moolah? The boneless patty shaped like ribs does not contain pig meat, and now porky eaters are up in arms about the ham-fisted bacon bait ’n’ switch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
