Paul is wearing a wild red plaid jacket. Dave gazes and later says, “I still working on a joke about the jacket. Paul says he is wearing for the performance of Fergie’s “London Bridge” later in the show.

AUDIENCE SHOW AND TELL: It’s America’s Fastest Growing Party Sensation.
AS&T #1: Stephanie Jenkins of Long Island, New York. She is a regional analyst. What does Stephanie have for us? Stephanie and her two friends went to Las Vegas where they have legalized gambling. While there, they met Dennis Rodman. And she has a photo. We see Stephanie and her two friends with Dennis Rodman. Dennis has his arms around them. He uses his left hand to cup Stephanie’s breast. Says Dave, “It’s nice to see Dennis is giving free breast exams.”

AS&T #2: Patrick King of Arlington, Virginia. Patrick is a Country Club manager. And what can he do? Patrick can bounce a golf ball on the face of a golf club and then it into a cut strapped to his head. And I bet that’s how he got the job as manager. Patrick puts on the silly-looking cup/hat. With a sand wedge, Patrick bounces the golfball on the face of the club and then with a high bounce, he catches it in the cup atop his head. First attempt, success!

AS&T#3: Shaunna Bresnahan of Astoria, New York. She is originally from Coral Springs, New York. She’s now a waitress at a restaurant here in the city, called “O’Neal’s”. The most popular item at O’Neal’s? The chicken pot pie. What does Shaunna have for us tonight? She can recite every country in the world in less than one minute. That seems hard to do, especially since it’s always changing. OK, Shaunna, go ahead. She starts a lightning speed and maintains the speed for the full minute. She accomplishes the difficult task with time to spare. Nice job.
As Stephanie comes down with her prizes, I had two “Play the Dave”s ready to go. First up, I bet that Dave would say, “Congratulations, you’ve won dinner for two at O’Neal’s.” And he would also say, “I think you left out Paraguay.” Dave hands Shaunna her dinner-for-two. He did not pretend it was to “O’Neal’s”. But he did say, “I don’t think I heard Belgium.” DING! Close enough.

And that was Audience Show and Tell.

Dave says to Paul, “Congratulations on your job at 3M.” --- in reference to the jacket. Dave isn’t so please with that attempt and he’ll try to come up with another one later.

Dave tells a story. He got a call from his mom this morning. In all the years that Dave has had a show, his mom has never called and made comment. This morning, she did. She called and said, “David, we’re really enjoying the ventriloquists.”

JEFF DUNHAM AND WALTER: Hoo boy, that Walter is one angry hombre. Right off the bat, he’s on Paul for playing the intro music too long. Jeff and Walter discuss sex and the city; the new flight rules; and how Walter doesn’t like being a carry-on. That dude is angry.
Jeff Dunham is the only person to win the prestigious “Ventriloquist of the Year” Award two-time and his new DVD, “Jeff Dunham: Arguing with Myself” has just gone double platinum. That’s right, double platinum.
I find these ventriloquists to be surprisingly entertaining and very talented.

“Hey, Paul, it looks like you’re wearing one of my old thermoses.”

TED TURNER: Ted says “It used to be, ‘The future is plastics. Now the saying is, ‘The future is clean energy.’” He says how clean energy is the future, it has to be, and it should be subsidized by the government. Now, the gas and coal companies are the ones being subsidized and not clean energy. Clean energy is a plus and it will be good for business. Dave and Ted talk about global warming and the announcement that Richard Branson just donated $3 billion to stop the inevitable. Ted corrects Dave, telling him he just read that it will not be a donation, but an investment.
And Ted’s gotta be all excited about all this United Nations activity going on in the city. Is Ted friends with Fidel Castro? He battles back and forth a little and then says yes, he is friends with Fidel Castro. It’s always easier to negotiate with someone when both parties are willing to talk. Hugo Chavez? Ted says as long as they are spouting and releasing their inner frustrations, it lessens their tension. He likens the Chavez speech the other night to Kruschev’s U.N. speech in the 50s when he banged his shoe on the table. As long as there is dialogue taking place, things can be worked out without resorting to bombs. You need to find a common ground. Everyone likes children and dogs. You can start there.
Ted is about to open his 42nd “Ted’s Montana Grill” in Manhattan next week. Some items on the menu: Bison chili, bison pot roast, bison meatloaf, and bison short ribs. You’ll find it in the Time-Life Building across from Rockefeller Center. And how would Ted make the world a better place? Men should be barred from public office for the next 100 years. There will be less money spent on the military and a lot more money spent on health care and education. And he says this would be easy to do . . . just pass a law.

FERGIE: From her CD, “The Dutchess”, Fergie performed “London Bridge.”

And that was our show for Thursday September 21, 2006. Wahoo EXTRA!

I’m listening to this promo on the TV the other day for All The King's Men. The announcer in a thunderous voice says, “‘All The Kings Men’, inspired by true events.” Huh? I guess you can say that about the movie Rocky, as well. Stallone was inspired to write that story based on the true events of the Ali/Wepner fight.
“Inspired by true events” . . . . sheesh.

Hello, me hearties, it’s Danny Stiles on the dials.
From Wednesday’s Wahoo:

“And now a joke just for me:

Yankee games on the radio are so full of in-game commercials, the other day I thought I was listening to a Danny Stiles radio show

I'm not sure if the above is a joke, my hearties. I used to listen to the Danny Stiles show featuring music from the 30s and 40s. I really liked it, but he would spend most of the show talking about where this person or that person would be performing. I only wanted to hear the music. “

“I for one got your Danny Styles joke. I used to listen at night when I was on vacation in Cape Cod. But I listened for the commercials more than the music. He was one of the best pitch men I have ever heard.”

“Hey, Mike -A name from the past: Danny Stiles. I'm a retired oldies rock jock who last appeared on WSKI in Montpelier and have just returned to Brooklyn. Is Danny on the air still? What station? I'd like to hear him again. Wasn't his slogan something like ‘Danny and his piles’...or was it ‘his miles’...’of wax’? I don't know, something like that. Keep up the work.”
