Oops, I guess that was a bit of a spoiler!

The show starts with exclusive interviews with musical artists Ronnie Dunn and Carrie Underwood. 

Arnie has a new invention....

And my sister, Marcia, drops in for a visit!!

The segment with my sister was recorded "live" in my home using a portable recorder.  We adlibbed the entire visit, wandering around various rooms.  Because of this, you'll hear my pet birds and our psycho cat...and how we worked them into the visit.  By listening to my sister and me interacting, you'll get an idea of how my life was while growing up with her.  Now, if only I could get my brother here at the same time... THAT would be a show!

 

The War of the Planets... Sort of.
