7 P.M. Ch. 08 CAN PEOPLE GET HAIRBALLS?–Panel discussion
Join a panel of non-entity celebrities–Beto O’Rourke, Alyssa Milano, Colin Whatsisname, and some ninny who broke in here one night, looking for designer undies–as they continue to discuss this fascinating topic. They’ve been at it eight weeks now! Featuring the June Taylor Dancers and their new number, “Coccyx Busters.”

John Phillip Tossup stars as the legendary Barroom Head-Butting champion, Windy Weinstein in It Hurts You More Than It Hurts Me (Serbo-Honduran, 2014: 781 minutes).

Bystander: Walter Lippman.
Well, that’s that! You’ve got some great TV this week–

Always good to see ya, Byron. Let’s ask Lee to post a song for us, eh? I Can’t Feel at Home in this World by Jim Reeves. What ‘ya think?
I think I’ll post that right away.
THE NEWS GAME WITH JIMMY FRAUD–Penance – I watch our local news mostly for the weather forecast which is about the only part that is not fake news. Today it was supposed to rain all day but hasn’t – so 100 % fake news.
