Speaking of great new talk shows: Our pal Chuck McCann did another episode of his Internet TV talk show Bits and Pieces last night and his co-host was our pal Jack Riley. I'm not going to embed them here anymore because there's something unstable about those Ustream embeds which I think crashes the browsers of some who access my page here. But I'll supply links so you can click over there and watch the fun.
I've been privileged to spend much time with Chuck and Jack. They're both delightful, funny men…and if you think I have a lot of good anecdotes, jeez. In that capacity, these guys are like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, and I'm the batboy for a very small farm club team in a town that's not large enough to have a Starbucks. These videos don't give you the full flavor of being around them because, for one thing, they don't tell the best ones about famous folks in show business screwing, one way or another, other famous folks in show business. They also in real life don't have all the tech screw-ups which, I'm sure, will diminish as Bits and Pieces goes on.
Anyway, last night's is in two parts. So watch Part One and then watch Part Two. And I'm sorry about the odd way Ustream inserts a commercial whenever they feel like it. I especially enjoy when someone's telling a short joke and there's a 30 second ad between the set-up and the punch line.
