Hot on the heels of his Sketchfest appearance in San Francisco, Phil runs down the weekend’s events.

                                                    Nun

Tonight the discussion centered a bit around Phil’s one man show coming up on Sunday night at the San Francisco Sketchfest. Margaret wondered about what song she should sing and discussed Justin Beiber’s troubles as well. That led to talk about the singer Jimmie Rogers and his fateful encounter with the LAPD in 1967 which left him with a fractured skull. So, she decided to sing one of his hits, “Honeycomb.” 

There was also a rather involved talk as well with Margaret and Bobbie Dooley about the place of parents in their kids caereers, notably Jeremy Bieber, Justin Biebers dad.

Herb Sewell came on the program and talked about an order of nuns that don’t want to have to pay for ACA-mandated contraceptive care. Said Herb, “The Nun is up to things you and I can only have nightmares about.”

Phil talked to the gang about yet another arrest made in the 1978 Lufthansa/Kennedy Airport robbery chronicled in the film ‘Goodfellas. Brad Rivkind, a New York native, discussed it with Phil and the crew, trying to get Bud to understand that the Castellammarese war isn’t a restaurant.

Coming on board as well for a roundtable was Harvey Weirman, Dean Wheeler, Larry Grover and the brain-damamged Warren Benman to talk about Edward Snowden and where he’ll wind up eventually…

The Mars rover Opportunity was the subject of questions from General Gaylen Shaw who felt more investigation was needed into the Martian canals. Is it possible still that there are Martian farms and what does Phil think about a hypothetical song called “Martian Farm.” (with apologies to Parchman Farm, the prison song)

Phil talks with the crew about the one man show at Sketchfest and the various roles people will  play in it… Bobbie comes on to discuss her hosting the event and naturally Steve chimes in and the whole thing is sent to hell within seconds…

Art Griego discusses a famous airline incident, Transat 238 from Toronto to Lisbon that was forced to land in the Azores after a fule leak. Art blathered on about how he would have done a better job landing it. “When it’s a Griego flight, get out of my way because I’m coming in like a bat out of hell and I ain’t stopping for crap!”
