GENERAL HOSPITAL's BRANDON BARASH & JASON THOMPSON!

“General Hospital” stars Brandon Barash (Johnny Zacchara) and Jason Thompson (Dr. Patrick Drake) are promoting the 2010 Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, CA.

Stagecoach: California’s Country Music Festival features a mix of artists from the genres of mainstream country, bluegrass, folk, roots rock and alt-country performing on multiple stages. The now critically acclaimed gathering also includes a variety of activities, including a leading BBQ competition and expanded camping area with amenities exclusive to campers. This year’s lineup features some of the top talent in the country music world today, including Keith Urban, Toby Keith, Brooks & Dunn and Sugarland. To view the full artist lineup, a complete breakdown of available ticketing and onsite camping/RV options, please visit www.stagecoachfestival.com.

In October 2007, Brandon Barash joined the cast of “General Hospital” in the role of Johnny Zacchara, the brooding, rebellious son of a mob boss based in New York City who has come to Port Charles to wreak havoc on the town’s residents. Johnny’s tortured past makes him a wild card, but a select few have witnessed his softer side.

Jason Thompson joined the cast of “General Hospital” in November 2005 as Dr. Patrick Drake, Noah’s arrogant yet brilliant neurosurgeon son.

I'm Allison Bree from NBC's Community and AMC's Madness and you're listening to Ball worthy radio. No, that was not a mistake. Allison Bree did do that on purpose when she was on the show because she actually thought that the show was called Ball's worthy radio. So she did two promos, she did a ball's worthy one and a ball's worthy one. And of course, I'm using the balls worthy one for her. Welcome in you guys to Buzzworthy or Ball's worthy radio, whatever you want to call it. It's up to you. We have no shame here on this show. I am the Bell J. Lee, your host of this wonderful podcast, here on blautopradio.com. I see many of you are entering the chat room right now. I really do appreciate it. It's Skinner Wiggum. I said this before and I'm still going to say again, I think that screen name is awesome. What is your real name, dude? Tell me what it is. I got to give you a huge shout out here on this show because that name is killer. It really is. But I don't know, it's just an awesome name. I think it's really, really cool. It's cooler than my real name, actually. But shout out to Skinner Wiggum. Whatever your real name is, what is your real name, man? Seriously. But I know you guys are anxious to hear our Brandon Barash and Jason Thompson interview that we did on the press day, which was this past Tuesday. Many, many others also got the chance to speak with these two actors from General Hospital, Brandon Barash and Jason Thompson played the role of Johnny Staccard and Dr. Patrick Drake. They filed to buy our show for like a few minutes to talk about the Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, California, as well as talk about their respective roles on GH. So we had the chance to spend a few minutes with them, got a little bit of Stagecoach information for you guys as well as GH stuff for you guys. We had a lot of fun. It's always a lot of fun. But here it is, our interview from the press day this past Tuesday. It was done last minute, which is why we're airing it right now. So that way I was able to get a little bit of more promotion for it, a few more days. So here it is, Brandon Barash, Jason Thompson. Here, I was with the radio. Brandon Barash, Jason Thompson is joining us. Excuse me. Let me correct how I say my name when Brandon's on the line. Neville is talking to you right now. Neville, what's up, Neville? I had to fix myself. I had to fix myself. I had to go back. It's Neville. It's Neville when I was Brandon on the show. It's Neville. It's Neville. He's kind of an idiot, eh? Excuse me? Brandon is not you, Neville. Oh, oh, okay. All right, that's better. That's better. I see every of you guys again. It's been what, over here? Something talked to you guys? Yeah, it probably was about a year. Yeah. Yeah, man. Absolutely. And this is the first time I've ever had Jason on this show. This is a new experience for me. Yeah, it's good to be here. Absolutely. So let's just hop right on to it. Let's talk about stagecoast. First of all, if people do not know what stagecoast, give them a rundown. What is it? Well, it's a huge music festival out in Indio, California just outside of Palm Springs. We're going to be there the last weekend of April and you're going to have everybody from Keith Urban to Toby Keith to Sugar Land. I'm really excited about Meryl Haggard out there. He's been just a really big supporter. All these other music acts that have been out there for years. And so we're going to be out there again this year. We were out there last year. So it's going to be a good time. This is part of the soap nation tour, right? That's correct. Part of the soap nation tour, yes. It is. And what are you guys going to be performing? Well, we're not going to be really performing anything. We'll be introducing some musical acts and signing some autographs at the soap net tent, if you will. And I'm sorry, what? I didn't do anything. No, no, no, no. So yeah, we won't be performing this year unless Keith Urban feels so inspired to invite a couple of lackeys like us on stage. Oh, no one's going to get to hear you say. I mean, come on. Come on. No, I've got to get a little something next year. Yeah. Maybe next year. All right. Well, what holds you to that? And also, Jason, you're going to be on the rock and soap cruise, which actually is a squeak, right? No, I actually will not be on the rock and soap cruise. I will be at a friend's wedding this weekend. Oh, excuse me. Brandon will not be there, but no, I won't be there either. No, we were kind of in the beginning scheduled to be there, but then we had to both reschedule it. We couldn't appear. Oh, okay. All right. So there we go. Just to clarify. I got like so much confusion because everybody was like saying, both of you guys are going to be there and I'm just like, we're. Yeah. We initially were, but this wedding came up and we couldn't not be there. Okay. There you are, then, ladies and gentlemen. And Joanne had hinted something at me that I had no idea what was going on. She mentioned when she last spoke to Bradford, you guys are forming a band, Brandon or something? That you guys are doing something? Well, we've always talked about it. Yeah, there's a port chalk band I think we're going to name and we're going to go for it. Hopefully, we'll be on the bill next year for stagecoach. Look forward to that. I think Jason might come and play some tambourine. I could do that. Is that essentially what it's called, port chalk? You're not kidding. I would not kid with you about something this serious? No, maybe. Or that idiotic. So what would take your pick did? No, Brandon's the idiotic one. Sorry, Brad. You said it. I didn't. I'm not allowed to insult people on this program, but I'm Canadian. I can get away with anything. You know, Jason's one of my favorite actors on the show. He's such a great guy. You're not supposed to lie on my show either. Remember that. You're not supposed to do that. Here. You have to be honest. I can't do it here. Where can I do it? That's a good question. Well, I don't know lots of words on that one. That's true. That is true. All right. Next year, you better have an answer for me. So seriously, you really think that this guy is the best actor in general hospital? I'm proud you didn't say it was you, Brandon, that you're the best on the show. Well, I personally feel like I am, but I can't say that in front of everybody. Yes, you can. Hey, look, it's not. I will say it. I'm on the bill. You're on this list. It's Brandon Barash and Jason Thompson, be being the proud Canadian that I am. I'm not afraid to endorse Brandon as the best actor on general hospital. We're not we're not swelling your brain up. Are we at all a little bit? No, not at all. I take it. I like it. I enjoy it. All right. Well, then we'll keep going. I think Brandon's also. I think Jason is right up there coming in a close a close second. So yeah, I will agree. I will agree. And speaking out, I'll come back to the show anytime. See there you go. I wasn't doing that just so you could come back either. I was being honest, but I'll take it. I'll take whatever I can get. And speaking of GH, what's going on with your character with with Mr. Johnny and Mr. Drake care or excuse me, Dr. Drake. Don't don't don't you mess that title up. I work years in med school for that one. Yeah, a few years in med school on television for that title. Television med school in Port Charles is like a week at the community college. I mean, as far as like, you know, if you want to go off of timelines, people heal in my hospital, you know, after being shot 18 times in the chest with with with gunshot wounds, they're wetting the next day. So med school probably lasts about a week and a half. Yes. And and and also in spite of that, besides the fact that you have to heal people that have been shot 18 times in the chest, you have a little bit of romances in the janitorial closet. I'm sure you learned that. That took a second. I thought I thought I thought for a second, Nabelle, that was a euphemism. But yes, yes, there are plenty of shenanigans going on in the janitorial closet. I don't use euphemisms. I use straight out truths here. That's what I like about you. I don't sugarcoat it. I actually come right out and say, there you go. I hear no objections from the other party here. Come on sustained. You speak the truth, my buddy. That's why I like you. Yeah, that's exactly it. But you still didn't tell me what's going on with Mr. Zakar here. Let's go. Mr. Zakar is on on the stand right now trying to make Sonny look like a little bit of a fool kind of get into. By the way, you know, it's going to happen. It's going to happen. We got it like probably another month of this court business happening and then we'll see what happens. But I'm going to keep on loving Olivia, whining and diner her and we'll see what happens. Yeah, I, you know, I'm going to hold on to her. I think she's a good one. We've been all of a sense of it hitting that we need a julivia shower vaccine. I absolutely agree with you. We've been trying. We haven't been trying. Yeah. We've got about 30 seconds and in those 30 seconds, I'm going to think of an amazing scene that we can get into the shower. What do you think, Jason? Does it involve a moose? Absolutely. What doesn't? Nice. Nice, old spice shower gel. That's all you need. And I don't know how much time you got left because you said 30 seconds and it took like all of my life away. Promo time. Both of you guys. Buzzworthy radio. You know the drill. Brandon, you've done these before. Jason, you've done these before. Work it. Let's go. Hey, this is Brandon Baross from General Hospital. You're listening to Buzzworthy Radio. I'm Jason Thompson from General Hospital. You are rocking it with Nivelle on Buzzworthy Radio. You guys, thank you so much. Are welcome anytime. As always, I appreciate it. Thanks so much, you guys. It was great. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thanks. Take care. Brandon Baross, Jason Thompson. This was done on Tuesday actually during the past day. The only reason why this was short, it was because the remote stage coach as well of their respective roles on General Hospital. This was a radio tour. So we were able to be a part of it. It was a 10 minute, it was a 10 minute phone. But we are in the work that's having him for a longer, a longer show here on the program as well as it being a live show. So we will be making sure that happens where they said they will do that. So Brandon's here all the time. So it's always, it's always when we do the live show with him. So he's definitely going to be back. And that was the first time I ever had Jason on this show. So it was a very interesting, it was a very interesting experience to get the talk to him. So it was fun. So hopefully we'll be able to get him back very, very shortly for a live show. And that way he'll get the talk to fans on this show. And I saw on Twitter and in this chat room about how they, let me extend it to 30 minutes because I only have like a minute and a half left. And I want to make sure this gets in before it cuts out. I saw in the room, I saw in the room how everybody was saying that Jason and Brandon were pretending to be each other. That seriously was done. It seriously was done throughout the entire show. So it was, it was just something that we just rolled with. And it, it was great. So why, why not, why not fight it? Let, let them, let, let it be all rolled on out. I mean seriously, you should have seen me, I was on the phone doing this and all you could see with my face going, why is Brandon being Jason, why is Jason being Brandon? And you know, I wanted to break it up. But I said, you know, this is too much fun. I can't, I can't do it. Let's just roll with it, see what they do with each other. And so I think it was, I think it was absolutely great. So I'm glad you guys also enjoyed it. As far as Gene L.W. in the chat room is the Sean Christian interview going to be live on the 15th? Yes it is. It is going to be live on that day. That's supposed to air on April 15th at 11 a.m. That will be a live show. So make sure you guys tune in for that. Sean Christian who plays Dr. Daniel Jonas on NBC daytime days of our lives. Many fans also remember him for his role, originating the role of Mike Kaznoff on CBS Daytimes as the world turns as well as playing Russ. See, I don't remember this. So I remember him being on there but I don't remember the character probably because I really didn't like this character so much. He played on one life to live for a short time. And now he can be seen on days of our lives every day with the acting opposite of none of the Orleans who plays Chloe. And of course, Russell Chappelle, Carly. Oh man, I can't wait to do that show with you guys. Yes, it is a lot of shows. It will be 10 minutes. I don't know if you wanted to call in with a question. I don't know if I'll be able to get it all in in a matter of a 10 minute span but we'll try. And I can't say it hasn't been done because it has but I will, I will say it will try if you want to call in with a question for him. But we will be back next Thursday with Sean Christian in days of our lives. We are working on some other stuff for the show as well. Thank you so much, Pete Skinner-Wiggum.
