TR 4/30 Big Show Synopsis

Hey, how's it goin'? Happy Friday. Here we go ...

*THE MONOLOGUE*
Well, Dave's voice is better, but it's not yet back to normal. Later, Dave says he feels fine. He says he doesn't think he's contagious. It's just that the old 'thing went out.'

*DESK CHAT HIGHLIGHTS*
Desk chat highlights included:

- Dave apologizing for Wednesday night's show. He says he thought his voice would get better once things got underway. He says they should have just had a vet come in and euthanize him. Dave says he thinks his voice is better tonight because Regis is on the show. He says just knowing Regis is here made him feel better. Dave says before the show, a guy from Montreal was kissing up to him and asked if he could get a Regis CD. So when Regis comes out, they'll give one to him.

- Dave talking about Regis. Dave says he's a little chagrined because he 'heard through the grapevine' that Regis is angry with him. Dave says of all the people in the world that he could irritate to the point of anger, he doesn't want Regis to be one of them. He says he has such warm regard for Regis. He's 'like an uncle' to him. <<laughter>> Paul wonders what it's all about. Dave says, "Well, I know exactly what it's about." Dave says he'll let Regis tell us. Dave says Regis is absolutely right about it, too. He takes full responsibility for it.

- A quick interview, live via satellite, with Senator Arlen Specter. What was the reasoning behind Senator Specter switching parties? Sen. Specter: "All press inquiries should go to my pet chimpanzee, Ricky."

- A flyby from Air Force One. It made an up-close appearance -- right behind Dave's desk. Then it left just as quickly, in reverse.

- Several new installments of 'True Tales from the Old West,' with America's foremost Old West storyteller, Bob 'B.B.' Boberson. Nice.

*REGIS PHILBIN*
Very nice, all the way around.

*PERFORMANCE BY THE BROADWAY CAST OF 'HAIR'*
I enjoyed this tremendously.

*MISCELLANEOUS MEANDERING*
What's happenin', people? So yesterday evening I was walking Buddy. In the distance, I saw a woman -- a neighbor whom I often see walking up & down the street. We eventually passed each other and, as we've done before, we both said hi.

Now, after we both made a few more rounds through the neighborhood, she and I met on the street again. This time as we were passing each other, she looked at me and smiled, and she said, "If you ever don't feel like walking him, you could let me do it."

All I could think to say in response was, "He's in better shape than I am, I'll tell you the truth."

After a few seconds of silence -- after we had passed each other -- I turned around and added, "See ya."

I don't even know what that meant, on her part.

(I fully recognize that my part was pathetic.)

That's all I got.

Later ...
