“Hi, this is Shirley MacLaine, and when I’m regressing into the past, I listen to Spy — On the Perception Management Radio Network.”
This was a bit I recorded for my cousin Dan about 25 years ago. I couldn’t have been more than 7 or 8, and at that age, I had no idea what the hell ‘regressing’ meant, or why the idea of Shirley MacLaine regressing into the past was meant to be funny. But I know now, and it is, indeed, funny. And you know, it really is.
