Today's show was live from Morongo Casino Resort! It sounded like a lot of longtime HFers made it out so once again I regret not being able to take a weekday off to make it out! But the 210 freeway closure (big rig accident?) and the late night made for a particularly funny Frank: Boogie Woogie Dance Party and Magnolia Goggles! And calling Erik by random names (Tom?) On this particular day in history...

I seriously laughed so hard during the "Birthdays" segment today. Anthony Daniels (C-3PO from Star Wars) had a birthday, and Frank remarked that Heidi had never seen Star Wars, so she wouldn't care. She was instantly adamant that she still knew who C-3PO was and proceeded to make R2D2 noises to confirm her vast Star Wars knowledge. Classic! Thanks Heidi, you make my commute on the 10-West bearable :) On this particular day in history...
