Show Log For Monday, December 8, 2014

On today’s podcast, Phil announced that the show might be recorded later in the day, so live listeners will need to stay tuned for that new time.

The show started with the panel discussing the weekend’s festivities, including Margaret and Frank’s trip to the Santa Monica Art Library. And then the gang discussed TV commercials, with Phil laying into Geico for their awful commercial campaign. Then Brad Rifkin chimed in with his professional opinion on Matthew McConaughey’s recent Lincoln commercial. In the General’s words, “the guy’s out there lookin’ to score some dope.”

And Jay Santos came on to shamelessly plug his new Citizens Auxiliary Police t-shirt. Brad thought of a tagline for Jay’s new shirt: “so good I wouldn’t wipe with it.”

Jack Armstrong wrapped things up by discussing the NFL games from the past weekend.

Show Log For Friday, December 5, 2014

Casting continues for…well, we can’t say, but that means it’s time for another “Best Of” for today’s podcast. Phil will be back tomorrow for the Saturday BSP-Only show!

Mavis Leonard kicked off the show to comment on the NFL domestic abuse scandals as she was being driven to the funeral of her late pinochle partner Ella Saban. She also was bugging her driver to “pull it up” at a McDonald’s so she could get a quarter pounder with cheese. Ted Bell also got in on the discussion. But the segment went all wrong when Margaret went through the phone on Ted and knocked his “buck tooth bridge” out of his mouth.

Then The gang talked about Scottish independence with Father James McQuarters as Father Staley, in the background, was nodding off. Dr. Jim Sadler joined the fray with his views on Ebola while he was also vaccinating school children at a local mall. The entire thing was interrupted by some 7 year olds that broke into a candy store and made off with the cash register.

Don Berman returned to the show to heap accolades on one Kevin Conroy, the longtime animation voice of Batman, for volunteering to cook for the firefighters and rescuers at Ground Zero during 9/11…Don hung up on Phil at one point and Phil couldn’t get him back on for awhile because no one in the channel 19 newsroom had ever heard of him…

And David G. Hall called from the Bosell family pond where a gunfight breaks out between Steve and, allegedly, a group of “travelers,” or traveling squirrels.

Closing today was Dr. Ron Tarner discussing America’s return to manned spaceflight, by bemoaning what he thinks is America’s target: Venus. He wanted to go to Mars because he’d written a musical about it titled, “A Martian, Though I May Be.”

Show Log For Thursday, December 4, 2014

Phil is leading a casting call today for…well, we can’t say, but that means it’s time for another “Best Of” for today’s podcast.

The show starts with discussion of the Ray Rice video, which leads Margaret and Frank Grey to talk about a night both would like to forget. Then Harvey Weirman was interviewed regarding any possibility Rice will play pro ball again, and he commented briefly on net neutrality, but eventually got pissed and hung up…

After that, Vernon Dozier was in rare form discussing the Atlanta Hawks and the perception their fans may need to go home to their MA-MA’s.

On the show briefly this morning was Jay Santos of the Citizens Auxiliary Police to talk about riot control. He was sidetracked trying to order some kind of a breakfast sandwich that kept coming back with not enough bacon on it.

Closing the show is “I Remember Hollywood” with Frank Grey, as he gender-confuses his way through early Hollywood memories of agents, producers, and actors.
