Today Jackie and Tom DeLisle join me again as we answer the burning question we left you with last week. (No spoiler here... you'll have to listen!) Then we literally dance from topic to topic including my days doing "Record Hops", how Tom's dreams of becoming a recording star were quashed by none other than Stevie Nicks, why one record producer told John Denver his music would never fly (oops... bad choice of words), and the true story of how "Daydream Believer" fell into the hands of the Monkee's. Put on your dancing shoes... and come take a spin around the floor with us.

Today, my good friend and self-described "Observer AND Eccentric", comedy writer Tom DeLisle, sits down with Jackie and me to discuss the state of the entertainment world. From our obsession with recipe-reaction on Facebook to TV shows and movies with more "bang for your buck" than plot, we offer our observations on what has become an increasingly in-your-face life experience. We don't go so far as to yell, "Hey you kids... get offa my lawn" but we do take a look at the "good old days" when things moved slower than the speed of light. So make a cup of coffee (decaf, please) and join us as we rewind in attempt to help us all unwind.

Our good friend Tom DeLisle joins us at the table today as we cover everything from my freshly shaved upper lip (I deep-sixed my trademark mustache after 40 years to help raise money for the Salvation Army Bed & Bread Club Radiothon) to my personal run-in with the great Walter Matthau's ear hair. Plus, would you give up IQ points for bigger boobs? (I'm directing that question at the Ladies - and possibly Chaz Bono). The results of a new survey may surprise you. We address the current rumors that George Clooney may be gay. And to get things rolling... my 6 week old Grandson Brayden stops by. Brought a real smile to my face - until my wife pointed out that it was just gas.

Tom Delisle sneaked back onto the podcast, to our pleasure, to finish his story about Ricky Gervais. We discuss a very funny happening involving Colman Young at the Thanksgiving Day Parade, and Tom's personal experience with a UFO while he was driving on the Southfield Freeway (honest).

Today I welcome Dale Johnson to the table to discuss the Salvation Army Bed & Bread Club Radiothon coming up next Friday, February 24th. The 16-Hour live broadcast has become the biggest one-day/single station Radiothon in the country. I began it 25 years ago... and to date we've raised over $25 million dollars to feed the neediest men, women and children in the most impoverished areas of Metro-Detroit. This year I'm coming out of retirement to sit down behind the mic along with "Purtan's People", for the Radiothon which can be heard on 760 WJR and will be streamed live on WJR.com. To donate to this vital program, which feeds 5000 people a day, 365 days a year, call 1-248-258-0760 or go to WJR.com. And to find out how your donation can literally change lives... listen to today's Podcast with the Salvation Army's Dale Johnson.

Today we gather around the old dining room table and discuss the new revelation about the 19-year-old girl who just came clean about her 18-month affair with JFK when she was a White House Intern (And to think Bill Clinton thought he came up with that idea!). I'll also share a personal story about an encounter I had with Kennedy and his rather overt attention to my wife! Plus we explain how we could have won World War II in much less time using something you may have in your kitchen cupboard right now.
