Summary

The red mic light is stuck on… permanently. So today’s show is being held together with duct tape.

It’s Monday Winners & Losers, Things That Make You Go Grrr & we played Baby Boomer movies in Timewasters. Plus, Christian’s glasses actually broke mid show after Patsy had just been celebrating her new ones. 

All that, and somehow we stayed on air. Duct tape really does fix everything.

And now the reason why, we just need to remind, because there might be some new listeners, Patty broke the door. Oh, yeah, I've pulled the door off it. With a bare hair. I opened it and came off in my hands. She was actually smashing a rival's head in it. Just open the door. By the well, how are your friends doing in Mexico, the cartel? Are you needed back out there?
