Chicago legend Steve Cochran stops by to dish on Bootstrappin' his way through comedy and radio — from dodging flying keys and beer bottles with Gary Shandling and Howie Mandel in the Wild West days of stand-up, to Tom Hanks literally leaping into his arms at the Oscars, to getting a private tour of Paisley Park from Prince himself. Dearly beloved... we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life… and just a typical Tuesday in the life of radio royalty.
