Love you, but…Ann-Margaret was NOT in the original cast of “Bye Bye Birdie”. She was in the film version, but Susan Watson originated the role of Kim MacAfee on Broadway.

Today listened to episode featured armpit farts and someone peeing in a waste paper basket at work to stay on the phone for a ridiculous amount of time. Show could use some different hosts and perspectives who might have asked if the person peeing cleaned up himself or left the pee for the maintenance worker who was in the room with him when he peed. I like gross humor if it’s funny but this was not funny - just gross. Bye!
