Austin Idol:
It really plays heavily on your mind. It’s like a never ending instant replay. You never forget it. It’s always back there. It was just tragic. It was an absolutely tragic tragic time. It’s not a good memory, Mike.
Mike Joy:
I’m sure it was a horrible memory.
Do you want to address any of those rumors?
Austin Idol:
ah?
Mike Joy:
You know those rumors.
Austin Idol:
Ru.mors?
You got me on that one. What rumors are you talking about.
Mike Joy:
There’s some rumors floating around that maybe Bobby Shane could have been saved?
Austin Idol:
I don’t think I heard you.
Could you repeat that please.
Mike Joy:
Do you think Bobby Shane could have been saved?
I mean, everyone else walked out or at least everyone else survived that crash.
I don’t know, there are rumors going around that maybe Bobby Shane could have survived that crash.
Austin Idol:
I’ve never heard that before.
You say rumors going around. I never heard any rumors about that. and if so, who.
Mike Joy:
They’re our there.
Austin Idol:
There out there?
Could you name somebody who floated something like that out there?
Mike Joy:
I’d rather not.
I don’t really think I need to go there.
Austin Idol:
You don’t think you need to go there?
Well, you bring something up like that. You’re saying I could have saved Bobby Shane. or Colt or Hart could have saved Bobby Shane?
Are you serious? Are you seriously asking me that question? just tell me that, because if you are it’s sick. but if you’re kidding or ribbing, it’s still sick
Mike Joy:
It’s a serious question and I’m surprised no one’s ever asked it before now.
I mean, Bobby Shane could have been saved that night, no doubt about it.
Austin Idol:
Hold on. Wait a minute. Just a second now. You are so far out of line this is ridiculous.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Now you’re telling me, You’re making a statement that Bobby Shane could have been saved that night. What the hell would you know about that, man. You have no clue about what happened that night. You weren’t there.
Mike Joy:
Listen, I do my homework. I’m a journalist and before I go into any interview I do a lot of homework, and trust me, did my homework on this and what I know is … you survived, Gary Hart survived, Bobby Shane didn’t.
Austin Idol:
Yeah, Bobby Shane unfortunately perished in the plane crash. We survived and he didn’t. You know. Unfortunate that he didn’t. For you to come out here and say he could have been saved and that you know that , it’s baseless. It’s totally baseless.
There’s no base of fact there. I’m starting to pick up and I think I’m starting to get this. I’m feeling a little bit trapped and ambushed here.
Now, when you initially emailed me, you wanted to do a little ten question Q&A and you wanted to follow up with a radio interview. I was more than happy to do that because I thought you were sincere and legitimate. but obviously this has been a set up.
And you know this ain’t funny. This is not funny at all, man. We’re talking about a man who died in a plane crash, I’ve never had anyone.
Since 1975, no one’s ever broke what with me, man!
Mike Joy:
It sounds like you have a little bit of a guilty conscious. Just a little bit.
Austin Idol:
You know what. Where you located man?
Mike Joy:
I’m in New Jersey, right near Philadelphia.
Austin Idol:
Your in Philadelphia, The City of Brotherly Love! If I was up there in a room with you in Philadelphia, you wouldn’t be feeling any love.
Mike Joy:
Oh really. Is that a threat? Is that a threat McCord?
Austin Idol:
I’m not threatening anybody, I’m just saying that journalists are usually held to some kind of standard. but obviously you don’t have one.
Mike Joy:
You know what, I interviewed celebrities, Hollywood celebrities. I interview actor and directors. You know, I’m doing you a favor by interviewing you because everyone knows all you want to do is come on and plug your Ankle Armour or whatever you want to plug. I’m doing you a favor!
Austin Idol:
You know what, this interview is coming to a screeching halt. and I’m going to tell you this, ok
Mike Joy:
What are you going to tell me?
Austin Idol:
You are a cheap shot artist. you’re a punk, you’re a dirt bag, a sleeve bag, and a scum bag. That’s exactly what you are. If I were your boss, you would be fired! You would be absolutely fired!
Mike Joy:
You’re not my boss
Austin Idol:
You are a punk, you hear me, you are a punk, you are a punk!
Mike Joy:
You know what, I think you’re a punk!
The phone conversation abruptly ends.
