Joe Biden dared the media to have “fact-checkers” check the facts in his speech at the DNC. They did, and said a number of things he said weren’t true.

Welcome to the first weekend of September! Today, Jackie (Daughter #2) and I are joined by JoAnne (Daughter #4) in this our latest Podcast (#56). This is JoAnne’s first appearnace - (either she’s been too busy anchoring the newsdesk at Channel 7 or she didn’t want to tarnish her reputation by appearing on this podcast). Either way… she’s the last of my six daughters to join us.
Did we save the best for last? You be the judge…
We cover some of the current events taking place in our country from Bill Clinton’s “talents” (politically and otherwise) to whether or not it’s better to be told “you look so much prettier on TV than you do in person!”
We also discuss the differences between men and women when it comes to phone conversations…and touch (figuratively) on Kathy Lee’s boobs and why the set she sits on is designed the way it is.
The icing on the cake? A chat with JoAnne’s son Adam (9) and Jackie’s son Charlie (10).
It’s definitely a “Family Affair” and it’s up right now for your listening pleasure!
Have a great weekend!

Ben & Jerry of ice cream fame are suing an entertainment company for releasing hardcore films who’s names closely resemble some of their most popular ice cream flavors. The adult flicks in question include “Ben & Cherries” and “Boston Cream Thigh”.

On this day in 1986, the final episode of “Scooby-Doo” aired on ABC after 17 years.
