 Once again, I was joined in studio by long time

friends, Radio DJ JoJo Walker, and Comedian,

Dan Chappelow.  

Between bites of Pizza, we talked movies and movie stars with St. Pete Times Film Critic

Steve Piersall, who told us about an interview he just had with superstar Jamie Foxx.

Foxx, Steve said, was extremely gracious, and funny, though Steve agreed with me that

his last film, THE SOLOIST, was about as much fun as being stuck in an elevator

for three hours with the top 3 finishers in the Seffner Bean Eating Contest.

Food guests included the owner of LA FOGATA, in Gulfport. A very romantic Rotisserie Style

restaurant that has just added a regular menu.  At Lo Fogata, you can now enjoy the world famous KOBE BEEF FILET, for under 40 dollars!  That's amazing, since these steaks have been known to sell for several hundred dollars..PER SERVING!!!  Look for pictures next week, since I have a dinner date at La Fogata before the August 29th show.  My other food guest, was John Lee, owner of the worlds best affordable steakhouse, the Sioux City Steakhouse in New Port Richey.  Click on their logo on my sponsor page, and take a look.  Then go there and enjoy. John told a very funny story about how a chance encounter with a world famous singer changed his life, forever.  That audio, is on this page.  I've gotten a lot of comments on it.  

I also received many comments about my interview with long time friend, Bob Fontaine.  Bob's dad was Frank Fontaine, Frank Sinatra's favorite singer, and the man who played the character "Crazy Guggenheim" on the Jackie Gleason show in the 1960's.  Go to You Tube and punch in Crazy Guggenheim.  There are a handful of videos there, showcasing Frank Fontaine's work. Bob currently works with his son, who owns BIG U MEDIA, a very successful local ad agency. In the 1980's, Bob and I wrote and produced all the radio commercials, nationwide, for the OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE.  Bob's Agency came up with their first three jingles, and that distinctive sound is still used today.  

Catch the show this Saturday.  My special, in studio Co-Host is local T.V. Star Bill Murphy.  Bob should have those original Outback Jingles, which are as good as any hit single back then, Steve Piersall will be chatting up movies again, and the Tampa Improv will bring us not one, but two, hugely funny comics.  

Don't forget to call the show.  Chat up your favorite restaurant.  Give em a plug.  That's what the show is all about.
