Description
The show starts off with Dennis chatting with musician Patty Smyth, fresh off of four consecutive nights of performing. They discuss what was great on the radio growing up, Dennis helping her move a piano in the village up four floors, some of her earliest performances, her experiences working with Don Henley, the difficulty in breaking the first Scandal record because radio didn't like to play more than one female-fronted band per week, the greatness of Neil Young and so much more. Then, Dennis reads a passage from Nabakov's memoirs, discusses reading a collections of Gore Vidal essays, chats with Christian about traveling in Africa, meeting Shaquille O'Neal, 50 years of the Big Mac, songs that get stuck in your head, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and closing things out with a conversation on soybeans and bacon.
