- Опубликовано: 22 фев 2024
- “For more than 25 years, Brian Phelps and Mark Thompson dominated morning radio in Los Angeles. With his wit, creative drive, talent, and undeniable ability to command thousands through humor and spontaneity, Brian has carved out a career that many ever dare even attempt to achieve.”
Brian and Frank are reunited after more than 11 years since they teamed up on the M&B Show. The incredible, nearly two hour interview, will have you reminiscing, of course laughing, and at times, even fighting back some tears. You have to watch the interview to believe it, as they both roll up their sleeves and dig deep in conversation that is both uplifting and quite rare. What a reunion. Enjoy!

I will be honest here. I see two amazing men in this interview. Totally real and non-judgemental and I'm so happy to see it... though I knew it was that way for both in my heart. There is ZERO ego here. LOVE, LOVE LOVE this and want more.
I'm ready for a Brian Phelps podcast.
Great to see you Brian! Thank you for So many years of laughter, fun and just everything man! 👍✌️🤘🙏
Thank you Brian and thank you Frank. Love all the stories. You could have talked another 2 hours and we would have absolutely loved it. Frank you need to have Brian on again. It was the best!! Be Good Humans!!!
Thank you Brian! Be good humans, is what we should always be. Love you!
He’s still the kindest, funniest man. I liken him to one of my favorite memories and people. I was still working as a switchboarder and sometimes they would need volunteers for the extra curricular stuff, i.e. chick night, birthday shows, etc. I ALWAYS volunteered! My favorite memory was one of a birthday show for Bri. I was allowed to shepherd the various celebrities to the “green” room. This year it was an RV. I went to check that all was well in said RV before, I thought, celebrities were to arrive. Well I walk in and who’s sitting in a club chair relaxing but Dick Van Dyke. Only my most favorite celebrity from my past. Well my face must have shown it because he stood right up and walked over and gave me the greatest real hug ever. I mention all this because after watching this podcast with Bri, I now realize why I cared so much about him. He’s just like Dick Van Dyke in the way that he’s the kindest, gentlest human I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. To his core. Now I know ppl are going to be sad that the “reason” wasn’t discussed on Frank’s, another kind human, podcast. Clearly, Brian’s the same sweet man he always has been and wouldn’t want to discuss one of the toughest times in his career. Wouldn’t want to shed light on something hurtful and why it was hurtful. So I leave this podcast with my heart full of memories from the greatest time and job in my life. Thank you Brian for not changing. I’ll always remember how you’d playfully flirt with me knowing I was newly married. You made me feel so special. And I know you’re still doing it with everyone lucky enough to be in your life. ♥️
Thank you thank you Frank 🙏🏼❤️!!, and OMG, Thank you Thank you Brian 🤩for sharing your life with us. ❤️Sharing your stories, humor😂 and experiences. Miss you and REALLY looking forward to your new project !!!❤❤😎🎼🎶🎵🥂and I got emotional when you said those 3 wonderful words that I say all the time now too ….. “Be good humans” 🙏🏼🤩❤️
Frank’s description of those four hours in the morning is what it was for all of us. For me, it brings back memories of driving to work (traffic wasn’t nearly as stressful while listening to M&B), then driving my kids to school and all the things my sons (as adults now) still remember hearing. We bought a disc player just to be able to listen to the CD’s at Christmas. We will always have those memories. Much love for all of you.
Frank, it’s so great to learn you have a new Podcast. Thank you for inviting Brian to join you for this one. It was delightful to revisit the fun and I’m excited to hear what’s next for Brian. I’ll be watching and listening for what’s next. Miss you all so much! From an Original Listener (29) from day one to the very end. The best to you both!
Happy tears Frank! Thank you!
I live by your daily sign-off: "Be good humans". The world could learn from that simple but profound concept.
I was fortunate enough to hear M&B's first broadcast and their goodbye show and the majority in-between. Brian is an incredible talent and gave me and millions of others years of joy. I always felt Mark betrayed him at the end but Brian did his best to end it with class. Thank you Brian....
Me too!
As a KLOS listener back in the day I remember the first M&B show and the last. Thanks Frank for getting Brian on for a chat. Hoping your project goes well Brian.
Thanks Frank for bringing Brian on to your show for a chat. ❤
Frank,
It is awesome to see you. I used to pray for you when you were searching for your meaning in life, and I'm so happy that you found Christ. I saw the interview with you and Greg Laurie, very touching. My sister works for Greg.
This is an AWESOME interview with Brian. Brian,thank you for opening up to all of us here on RUclips. I can speak for all of us when I say "WE'VE MISSED YOU"!!
Blessings to both of you🙏

WOW! Brian hasn't aged! Hell! I'm 50and he looks way younger than me!! Frank and Brian both sound great! Brings me back to my teens and into my 30s. My eyes are getting sweaty with respect. (NOT CRYING !) Mark & Brian were such a huge part of those years it's like.....I thought they would never go away! youths follie I guess ! The service they did for SoCal commuters is reason enough to make them legends. Comedy is subjective, But the warmth and family love spoke to me over the Shock Jocks! Very SoCal.
I am so excited 😊. Brian thanks for everything ❤️
Boy we miss Brian and his amazing comedic soul. His timing and improv is brilliant. Great to see him again !
Miss him! I could use some laughter in my life right now!
Thank you Frank! Great to see Brian still.... being a good hooman🥰🖖👍
For about 20 years, I listened regularly to Mark and Brian. But it was Brian who carried the show. I tolerated Mark because I liked Brian so much. And Frank Sontag is a legend!
Thank you Frank, I appreciate you for having Brian on. It was great seeing and hearing Brian again. God bless you both.
Podcast!!! Can’t wait Brian!! Please keep us posted!
Thank you Frank. You are awesome in your own right. Your time with Brian just proves what wonderful human beings you both are.
Congrats to you both! Great interview & awesome to hear you together again. Love to Mark too! Totally believe M&B could conquer KLOS & slay the morning (with you, of course Frank) again! God Bless!
My face hurts from smiling and laughing more than I have in a very, VERY long time. And somebody was cutting onions a couple of times there as well. I'm so grateful to have reconnected with the listener family and now to the radio family. What a trip down memory lane! Thank you both for throwing me in the way back machine. This was like reconnecting with old friends and picking up where we left off. Thanks for taking me away for almost a couple hours. Brian, I was always partial to you...never change! And come back to the show! You and Frank are great together! We can all see/feel the love and respect you have for each other. Thanks again and HOOTY frigging HOO!!!
Thanks so much Brian for sharing your talent with us through the years. I listened to you and Mark all the years you were on kgon in Portland Oregon. Made my day everyday. By the way you are looking amazing, happy and healthy. Much love my radio friend. Thanks Frank for this interview loved hearing both you guys together. ❤️❤️❤️
Great interview, Frank. Brian is just amazing and melts my heart. His energy is so contagious and I so miss hearing him every day on the radio.
Love you both from the bottom of my heart. So good to see this podcast.
This made my day. I was so happy to watch this and so very reminded of all those mornings of joy with you too!
Great show Frank! Great memories for sure for me.
Thank you Frank! That was everything I hoped it would be!
Thanks guys! Laughter and yes, some tears. Miss you and love you bunches! 😄♥
I love these two guys!! My gosh the memories rush back from my mornings for twenty five years of this show !!Frankie you are a legend and Brian is one of the funniest dudes ever!! I miss Priva Kelly Frankie Mark Linda and so many great people!!my mornings have never been the same
Miss them ALL so much! ❤
Thank you, Frank!❤ What a gift. Good luck with all that you are doing!
Thank you, Brian!❤ So good to hear you and Frank's voices, together, for public consumption. Good luck with your new project! Hopefully, we'll be hearing your voice talents again soon and with some regularity!
What a joy! 🎉
great example of being good humans, thanks for the 25 years.
What a great feeling these men put in my heart. Hearing their voices again felt good. I miss listening daily.
Wow!! You sound great!! Nothing has changed!! You made my year!!
This is amazing...
This was so overdue ! All the kind words in these comments are 100%. The joy you all brought to many persons days are more appreciated than anyone can truly express. Looking forward to hearing both of your future podcasts !
I loved Brian and still do. I’m so happy you are life long friends and I’m looking forward to watching an enjoyable and warm interview.
Love love love this 2 amazing men in one room ❤
the best memories of the Show was Elfis" and the annual Christmas shows. What great memories foe me. Thanks for the look back.
Thank you Frank for a great interview hearing Brian brought happy memories back
M&B were such a big part of my life for many years (I'm listener #7). If I was awake and not at work, I listened. I was actually late for work more times than I would like to admit because I was listening. I attended many events, and even played the Andy Griffith theme on the nose flute on the show when they opened The Pond in Anaheim. I'm so happy to hear Brian's voice again. Be good humans! ❤️
Can sit for hours listening to these two guys and the stories.
What a joy to listen to. Thank you so much Frank and Brian. :)
Can’t wait for spring! How exciting and how wonderful to have something to look forward to! 🌼💕
So good to hear both your voices together again. I miss Brian’s voice on my radio so much.
This is so great. Brian is the real deal and a gem. Really great to see you, Brian!
Loved the podcast with Brian, PLEASE have him back again, he was so sincere and transparent
This did my heart some good. Hearing two radio legends back together and just enjoying each others company!
I just happened to have this pop up after searching M&B this morning...feeling nostalgic. Wow. Two of my favorites, Frank and Brian. Honestly, I didn't have to watch it...I just put my airpods in and listened and it took me back. I cannot tell you how much I miss you guys being a part of my weekday mornings. The whole KLOS family. Frank, I didn't realize you had a podcast, but I'm now subbed. Oh, and I cannot believe Tanto is 6'2" and 16. I remember when he was born. Finally, I'm not too proud to say when Brian did his sign off, that hit right in the feels. Thank you.
Native Angeleno and long time M&B listener. I miss listening to the whole gang. It's awesome to hear Frank and Brian again. Hooty hoo! BGH.
That was so good I am more in love with Brian then ever
Miss you so much good luck with everything you do in life ❤️
SO GREAT to see Brian again. It's been too long. I loved the podcast he did several years ago, and was really saddened when it ended.
Thanks for this blast from the past Frank. Really. Thank you sir.
Great podcast Frank. It was so good to hear those familiar voices together again! So, so good!! Please have Brian on again!
So wonderful seeing Brian. My eyes are soggy. Thank you Frank! What a blessing!
THANK YOU Frank and Brian!!!! Two great men I hope we see a lot more of. You mentioned it was going to be an hour... and stretched out. I could have listened to your stories much longer than you were on for. I didn't want it to end. And might I say... I'd LOVE to be on a golf course with you two. I'll drive the cart!! I want to see Frank yell to the party ahead LOL
Frank, THANK YOU! GREAT PODCAST!
I love and miss Brian Phelps so much! He was also my imaginary best friend back in the day! I’m very excited for his upcoming podcast! ❤
I have to say this interview made my day, my year!…but kind of chuckling to myself towards the end, before Frank signing off, almost anticipating that Frank would say “would you like to take a shower?” 😄
Always have loved you both. Beautiful humans ❤
It is wonderful to listen to you both. Felt like old times and to say that you all were a family in studio that carried over to your listening audience as well. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of that family.
So many gems in this conversation. Thank you both!
This sir was awesome with Brian, loved it thank you and keep up the good work my brother May God Bless you and your family 🙏
FRANKY NO TEARS. What a great interview. I watched most of it Sunday night. Had to get to bed. And listen to the rest of it on the way to work just like I used to listen to Mark and Brian show it was an awesome interview keep up the good work will try to catch you next one.❤😊
Thank you Frank !! This was AMAZING !!! God Bless you and your podcast which reaches the heart....
Wow. So good to see you Brian. You look great. Thank you for all the mornings that you and Mark made my drive bearable.
Frank, thank you for this.
Absolutely amazing interview. I flashbacked to the late 80’s early 90’s and just laughing myself silly. Boy I missed there show! Nothing else than and now compares to it. Like Brian said, it was stupid and silly but I loved it. Favorite memory was at the Day before Thanksgiving parade when they launched a frozen turkey over the LA Coliseum and snaking right into the wall! 😂. Frank love that you’re a believer in our Lord and will follow your podcast now! Thank you again for this interview!
Closed my eyes and just listened to those voices again,thx
Love this podcast! Love your show, Frank, and love that Brian was the guest. Great memories of your KLOS morning show. Loved hearing the laughs! Took me back. Thank you!
God I miss them on L.A .morning radio. Love you Brian and Frank!
I have to say I have missed the laughter to start my day for oh too long.
Just fantastic. Great hearing and seeing you both and looking forward to Brian's new stuff!
Who's that crying? I'm not crying. Thanks to you both for rinsing out my eyes.
Appreciate this, I love Brian and miss his comic talent. Frank all just a great guy, thank you both for the M&B years. God bless
So wonderful to hear those two familiar voices!!! Morning radio has never been the same since M&B. Great Podcast!
Outstanding! Truly therapeutic. You both have that special touch to bring smiles to our hearts. I would honestly watch and listen to you both every day.
As you said, simply, "Thank You!"
Brilliant interview - I love you both! You are both so genuine and fun! Charcuterie, sticky notes and Be Good Humans! Thank you Frank and thank you Brian! :) You were awesome and seamless..
I remember the turkey, but I also love the potato guts. I still chuckle over those many years later. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Beautiful show Frank, thank you. Especially love the bond between you and Brian. As a long time M&B listener, it saddens me that they’re not friends anymore. Oh well, things happen and times goes on, it’s good to see you two still are so close.
OMG - I was just thinking about Mark and Brian and how much I miss then (Listener #15) and googled Brian and found this. I'm crying - ruined my makeup and am leaving for a meeting. Will come back and listen to this. I love Mark and Brian so much and miss them tremendously. They got me through so much in the 25 years I listened to them. Thank you, Frank. I'm so glad I found you. You, Chuck and Rita completed The Boys. xoxo Okay - Just finished. I felt the pain of the separation of M&B. I was pretty clueless to it all at the time which shows what professionals all of you are. Frank - You are so lovely. The genuine love you have for each other is palpable. I attempted suicide at 23 - I will be 60 in a couple weeks. The show helped me heal tremendusly. I lost a couple pets, divorced - had 2 children - all with M&B being a part of my life. We were family in my eyes and I know so many felt that way. Thank you for not leaving us completely. I look forward to the #BeGoodHumansPodcast,
I want to thank both Brian and Frank for this interview. The point I can relate the most is when Brian: you talked about retiring from KLOS, I retired in 2020 and although it’s great, the thing I miss most is the people I worked with every day, most days I interacted with hundreds of different people, I miss this more than anything, it sounded like this was very important to you too. Happy to hear that you are doing great…!!!
Brian, after years in Cali, you got your tan.
This was so great to see after such a long break. Miss the show and the family!
so sweet i loved mark and brian and the whole crew i miss it sooooooo bad
I'm laughing at @22:00. Not sure what "self-defecating" humor is. Maybe "self-deprecating?" I loved this interview. Well done! Great to see and hear Brian again.
M&B where very influential on my radio career. First it was Lyle and Hann in San Antonio, Mark and Brian for many years there after and everyone at KLOS at that time...Frank, Rita, Joe, Jim. And also Matt McCallister at KTYD in Santa Barbara...I think of you all often and I reference many moments in discussion within my Radio company. Thank you all...and...Frankie...I forgot...Mark got me into a heap load of trouble back home when he was on that other station for a bit. Call me. Gotta share that. Oh, and little know fact...Frankie taught a college class in radio broadcasting some years back
...thanks for being a mentor and having a significant and lasting impact on a young man who had no idea what the heck he was doing.
That voice!!
"be good humans" brought tears to my eyes! Youi both are amazing
I do so miss you both.My ride to work was so nice listening to all of you with KLOS.You made my day.The one day was so important was 911.You guys did such a wonderful job.KLOS has never been the same sence you guys left.Glad to see and doing well
This was awesome
Thank you Frank and Brian for reminiscing some very good mornings. 1987 we had the Whittier Narrows quake it takes a second or two to realize it.
'Bench' etiquette, sitting on Newport Beach CA. on one of those 80° January days, no one was around, a group of people walked down to the water and sat right next to me( didn't ask for a shower) they were from Idaho, their home temperature was 10°.
I explained that it wasn't always this nice. They had been to Disneyland and it was So. Cal cold 50° and an attraction attended had a big coat and was very cold. A nice visit with them.
Preva Danny Tito some guy called sales scum? Chuck troy Donaho Sky Lord. What a great time that was.
Thank you.
Jim Ladd, Bob Coburn, here's to the good times. " "I heard it on my radio"
And KMET.
Listener #11
Thank you Frank for this interview...and Brian for being there too. It was a pleasure to listen to....
Brian you are the Best and Made M & B so great!!
I just found your podcast it’s great to see Brian is doing well. I could listen too another two hours.
Loving this thanks Frank and Brian
