Greetings, fellow listeners. Doc's away once more, and Mom keeps his seat warm for him. A very special episode this is due to the fact that today is the 82nd birthday of British comedy legend John Cleese, co-founder of the legendary British surreal sketch comedy troupe Monty Python. Not only do Mom and I have a splendid chat about our common love and admiration of Python and how it's become a global pop culture phenomena for the past 50 years and how the Golden Age of sketch comedy is truly extinct, but we wish Mr. Cleese a glorious birthday and how I've become infatuated with his personality and ingenuity. Hear me serenade Mr. Cleese with the ditty "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life", the hit theme from comedy gem "Monty Python's Life of Brian", written by Python member Eric Idle.
