Want something to keep your mind off the Tigers 2nd loss to the Giants? You’ve come to the right place!
In today’s Podcast, Jackie and I touch on just about everything but baseball… from old movies (I actually sat through an Elvis flick ALL THE WAY THROUGH) to a rather unusual habit I have of Googling “certain things” while I’m watching TV (you’ll have to listen to find out!). From “Hollywood Squares” to “Young Frankenstein”, it’s all part of our verbal meander down entertainment memory lane.
We also bounce from Meredith Baxter Bernie to Hitler’s Bunker (even I can’t explain how that happened).
Then, in a flash-forward to the present, Jackie reveals the repercussions of accidentally texting your mom - when you think you’re texting your sisters. (Can you say “Fifty Shades of Humiliation”)?
And, ironically, since this all happens live and in one-take, Jackie gets a surprise text from her college boyfriend and we end up discussing the relationship between her ex-husband and her current boyfriend - (let’s hope at least one of them doesn’t listen to this Podcast!)
Finally, you’ll find out something I did recently that, apparently, is a clear “danger signal” that I’m really “retired”!
So put on your mental cleats and get ready for a run around the bases of Podcast #62!
Have a great weekend!

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that a terrorist group’s Internet claim of responsibility for the Benghazi attack means nothing and should not be believed.
- But I read in on Terrorist-apedia! It has to be true!
A new survey has found that Americans in their late 30’s are now the group that doubts they’ll be financially secure after retirement.
- Of course that’s assuming they’ll actually have a job to retire from.

A scientist claims that a new study proves that PMS is a myth.

It’s a good news/bad news day for Lindsay Lohan. She won’t face charges in her latest hit-and-run case in New York, but the National Enquirer claims that she took $15,000 worth of clothing from the set of “Scary Movie 5”. They claim producers let it go…considering it’s part of the cost of hiring Lindsay Lohan.
- Her publicist insists she didn’t “take” the clothes, she just sold them for beer money.
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews claimed that if he had decided to run for Senate, he could’ve been a star in the Democratic party.

On this day in 1936 a radio station in Berlin broadcast the first call-in request show, called “You Ask - We Play”.
