While we were taping at Lizzie McNeill’s a couple came in with their little baby. The kid took one look at Skinny and thus began a fifteen minutes session of crying and screaming from this very frightened baby. Luckily we had Jim Riley of the fabled Riley’s Trick Shop with us as he told us the story of five generations of his family running Riley’s Trick Shop now coming to a close. This legendary home of hand buzzers and whoopee cushions is going out of business, so get over there now because everything must go, everything half off until there is nothing left. We reminisce with Jim on the saga of Riley’s and the early days on 79th Street. Then Collette Delaney-Smith calls in from London to tell us about her film “Still” making its premiere at the Chicago International Film Festival this weekend. After some wacky “Who Cares?” we hear from our Irish Coussins Paudie Sheahan and Murty Ryan in Ennis telling a very funny, bawdy tale of Richard Harris and Merle Oberon. This is classic! Is that kid still crying?
