Ralphie will be interesting if you don't mind hearing someone say "um..um".I heard him speak a few years back and I was amazed at how many times he says that in a speech.
An annoying habit, but he WAS interesting to listen to aside from that.
And I bet he doesn't come cheap either!

Bring the booze out, much more entertaining after a few.

Wasn't Bob THE Dr. Bob Ewert?
One of the good old doctors from the early days of P.G. Not too early, I am thinking maybe the forties or fifties?
Any how, I am sure Ralphie will be interesting to listen to. Will he imbibe? if so, he will be even more entertaining.
If not, then the spectators should drink, then he will be interesting anyways.
Hey, I think I'll go see him.
