Ladies and gentlemen, this is Alonzo Bowden.

I want to welcome you to episode 352 of my podcast, Who's Paying Attention?

We are back in studio after a brief break.

I was on the road a bit.

And our guest today, I love this guy.

I love everything about this guy.

Ladies and gentlemen, from Chicago by way of L.A., former talk show host, probably his least known credit, following me in the shoes of talk show hosts at KBLA in Los Angeles.

Also, a producer for the Hannibal Burris show on Comedy

Central, a regular contributor to and participant on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me, a former NPR

and on and on and on. Ladies and gentlemen, comedian, commentator, and generally smart, funny guy,

Brian Babylon.

Boom, boom, boom.

That's like an old school.

I want to come in a boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Like blues style.

That's the Chicago in you.

That's the Chicago in you that you got to come on to a blues riff.

Like, I've seen, like, a man hold a crowd detention with a guitar and an amp on the

sidewalk.

Absolutely.

That's hardcore showmanship.

But you should have just said, like, the other black guy on Wait, Wait.

Yeah, I could have.
