I understand. I feel that way about a lot of shows that I miss.

I'm grateful for the experience and still loosening up, I guess. The feedback is great. I'm supercritical of myself, so I can't be a good judge.

I think a lot of DJs are critical of their own work. I like what I hear, but I'll be honest: I'm pretty enthusiastic about a lot of things, so I'm pretty easy to please. If you need a tougher audience, I'm sure they're out there.

That is surprising. I've heard him do voices on the radio that weren't Fudd-like, but he certainly knew that it paid the bills. It's funny to hear him play a police office. I cannot take him seriously on Richard Diamond, even though he's not always the comic relief.

That's quite all right. My friends and I are geeks for secondary character actors. Bobby Barber was in silent comedies and would work with The Three Stooges, The Marx Brothers, Abbott & Costello, as well as showing up in the background of William Wellman's films and soooo many others. He was the guy in Monkey Business that had a frog in his throat which caused Harpo to lift Bobby and shake him by the legs to get the frog out!
