TAKES VAL&#8217;S CALL IN THE JOHN!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #bcc6cc;\">The first time Val Kilmer visited the Mark &amp; Brian Show was pretty non-eventful. He had a cold but plowed through the interview like a pro and as they say&Acirc;&nbsp;in the movie Casablanca, it was the start of a beautiful friendship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #bcc6cc;\">His second time on the show was hilarious. &Acirc;&nbsp;He right into the Mark &amp; Brian theme of just going with whatever happens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #bcc6cc;\">But it was the third time that was the charm and went down as a classic moment in the history of The Mark and Brian Show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #bcc6cc;\">The interview started like most others with Mark, Brian and Val Kilmer joking, laughing and just having a good time. The hotline rang, I picke it up and asked who was calling, Only to find out&Acirc;&nbsp;it&#8217;s Kurt Russell!&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;He was listening to the show and wanted to get in on the action and play a joke on Val.&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;He wanted to use the name Mike, sound a little gay and just drool over Val and tell him how much he loves him and his outfits. Of course, I can&acirc;&euro;&trade;t let anyone in on this. &Acirc;&nbsp;So when&Acirc;&nbsp;we go to a commercial &Acirc;&nbsp;I go into the studio and whisper in Mark&#8217;s ear, &acirc;&euro;&oelig;After the break go to<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #bcc6cc;\"> the hotline and put Mike on the air with Val.&acirc;&euro;&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;When he asked me why all I said was,&Acirc;&nbsp;&acirc;&euro;&oelig;Trust me!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #bcc6cc;\">When we come back from commercials, Mark says, &#8220;Val, Mike is on the line and has a question for you.&acirc;&euro;&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;Mike, aka Kurt comes and does his thing, praising Val and asking who handled his wardrobe in the movie &#8216;Tombstone.&#8217;&Acirc;&nbsp; Val then starts talking about the film when Mike (Kurt)&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;interrupts and says, &acirc;&euro;&oelig;But how did you like working with me?&#8221; &Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;Val realizes he&#8217;s been duped and says &#8216;you little&#8230;&#8217; The jabs and laughs continue, Kurt says goodbye and we go to another break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #bcc6cc;\">After the commercial, Mark promotes the fact that Val is currently working on a film with Robert Downey Jr.&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;Val being Val &Acirc;&nbsp;and now in a prankster mood, says, &#8220;let&#8217;s call Robert.&#8221;&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;We have him call from the studio line so it can go on the air, live.&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;Val tells Robert he&#8217;s on the radio with Mark and Brian a<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #bcc6cc;\">nd asks him to play nice.&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;A few minutes in Robert says he&#8217;s in the bathroom.&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;What comes after has to be heard to really appreciate how funny this all went down.&Acirc;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #bcc6cc;\">To put this into words how classically funny this was is impossible.&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/download\/MarkAndBrian-FavoritePastMoments\/ValKilmer.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">Click this link and hear for yourself<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Val Kilmer - Ted Lekas Producer Live Events &amp;
