The Stuph File Program Slide Show - Phyllis Diller

Stuph File Program listeners, another video slide show is here. This one hails from August’s show #0158. It's a retro interview from my celebrity audio archives that features a talent who, sadly, is no long with us.

This one hails from back in September of 2004 with legendary, trailblazing comedienne, Phyllis Diller.

At the time she was still acting, but retired from stand up for two years. She was 87 years old when we talked.

Very few in the public knew her life off stage. Phyllis was a mother of five who worked hard on stage to earn a living for her family. But she did it in a career that she truly enjoyed.

What most people remember about her was her laugh. It filled a room and it was genuine. Phyllis loved to laugh and she loved to make people laugh. For half a century she excelled at both.

Watch the slide show on YouTube while the audio plays! Share the link with fans of Phyllis Diller. It will surly leave a smile on your face.

That’s the Stuph – the way I see it.

Photo Phollies #4 - The Reluctant Mascot

Faux Stories From Real Pictures

“George” (not his real name) was mired in a long spell of bad luck. This was not the future he mapped out for himself. He grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, so everything he did he worked extra hard for. And despite his past, he initially succeeded.

He was an “A” student growing up; valedictorian at the top of his class. He got into a prestigious business school and was fast tracked into the financial world of Wall Street. His future looked extremely bright.

But fate stepped in. He reluctantly became the brains of an elaborate financial accounting scheme that not only bilked money from widows and orphans, but threatened the collapse of the entire banking system. His devious financial mind caused the downturn of the economy and changed his trajectory forever. His conscience got the better of him. He couldn’t handle the pressure. He decided he had to come clean.

Turning state’s evidence meant that most of the powerful people he worked for would spend an eternity behind bars. But there were other, more nefarious business types, who eluded the law and swore they would get their revenge.

As irony would have it, George’s “talent” created an economy on the brink. Every governmental agency was forced to make drastic cutbacks to their budgets and programs. Even the Justice Department suffered. And that’s how George, who could never show his face in public again, became the most reluctant mascot, in a now scaled down witness protection program.

That’s the Stuph – the way I see it.
