Lynn reports a story about an Italian woman suing her husband for hiding his impotency. But, in typical fashion, this story triggers a personal anedote - which Lynn shares along with giving her opinion on the lawsuit.
The specials may have changed, but the sentiment hasn't. So no matter what flowers you get Mom (or anyone else), go to www.ProFlowers.com, click on the radio microphone on the top right, and type in LYNN. You will get special offers and, more importantly, she still gets credit (I went with the two dozen roses).
One of my all-time favorite Lynn stories. It's one of the first things I went too after she died because I hoped she would give a clue as to what she wanted - or what she didn't. Ultimately the only thing I got out of this is that she didn't care all that much what happened to her body after she died - but she hoped she wouldn't turn into a can of potato chips. Especially not sour cream and onion!
Back in July of 2005, Lynn talked about the Stand Your Ground bill before it was signed into law, SEVEN YEARS before the Trayvon Martin case. So, if you were wondering what she'd be saying about it today, take a listen.
Lynn tells about how employees at WBAI seized the station and were eventually arrested. She also explains why she thinks so many people on the left are full of crap.
Only Lynn can turn buying pickles at a street fair into a police riot. Then again, anyone who had the grave misfortune to run into her while taking up more than one seat on the subway heard FAR worse!
After seeing a TV report on the Kabbalah, Lynn shares her previous encounters with various religions and what she thought of them. And, she makes a startling revelation of a lifelong dream.
Only Lynn would: a) review a show she hated and b) spend so much time discussing a show she had no intention of talking about. P.S. I have no recollection of this series...but I guess someone got their wish.
Proving she can talk about anything, Lynn talks about her favorite story - the man who was accused of performing oral sex on his girlfriend on a plane.
Lynn always wanted to be an actress. At various points in her life, she worked with various theatre companies and hang out with many actors. One of the people who made it big was Estelle Getty. In this clip, Lynn remembers her old friend.
One of Lynn's duties on both terestrial radio and Sirius/XM was to do live reads of commercials. What most people don't know if that getting Lynn to do a live commercial was incredibly popular with advertisers. She was CONSTANTLY asked to do them - primarily because she had her own colorful way to make the copy stand out. I should add that there were many commercials Lynn simply refused to do. If she didn't believe in the product or felt it was questionable, she'd say no. Pro Flowers was one she always liked to do. Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, whatever. They always sent her flowers to thank her. In the last few years when the flowers would arrive at Sirius, Lynn would ask that they be given to her favorite engineer - Jackie. Enjoy!
When a study allegedly found a link between tonsil cancer and oral sex, Lynn started talking about it and ended up discovering an entirely different conclusion in the process.
Back in 2005, entertainment reported Pat O'Brien's phone sex messages were leaked and it was quite a scandal. Lynn was one of the only people to not only play the messages on the air, but also give her own colorful commentary. Her doing so caused quite a stir in two ways: 1) she got loads of free publicity as someone who did whatever she wanted and 2) she was "asked" to please refrain from discussing the subject. And yet, the clip lives on in infamy.
Longtime listeners know that Lynn obsessed about getting her annual flu shot. Enjoy these clips as she discusses her attempts at getting a shot in 2005 and 2006.
In two clips, Lynn talks about how she always wanted to learn how to juggle. This comes up apropos of two completely unrelated subjects - Colombine and America's Got Talent, with a dash of Joan of Arcadia.
Lynn explains the difference between regular Coca Cola and Kosher Coca Cola. Along the way, she explains when Coca Cola started adding high fructous corn syrup, corn farmers, barley, beer, diet soda, the story of Passover, Moses, and even global warming!
Lynn's last appearance on national TV was on FoxNews back on July 20, 2007. She was debating Ann Coulter about teaching children what is appropriate and inappropriate touching. Making it even more historic is that Lynn's basically defending the Obama administration, if not Obama himself. Enjoy!
P.S. This was, at one point, on YouTube but has mysteriously disappeared.
From 2007 - After condemning bilingual education, Newt Gingrich tries to smooth things over by making a speech in Spanish. Lynn provides her own colorful commentary and a running translation.
A true rarity - I may be the only person who has this movie, "Run for Cover". I don't think it was ever released, but Lynn appears in this single scene - which certainly captures her unique style. Enjoy!
P.S. When I showed this to her a few years ago, she thought it was HYSTERICAL - but was glad it didn't get much attention.
This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite Lynn clips. From WABC, circa 1992. One of the first things I ever heard from her, and still the one I go back to which I think epitomizes her. Not only is the review classic Lynn, but the follow-up caller...and how Lynn turns the tables on her. The brilliance, the quick mind, the humor....it's all there. Enjoy!
Don't forget - Mike Feder will be paying tribute to Lynn on what was really her "home" - SiriusXM Left 127 (ok, it's no Sirius 146, but still...). Saturday night starting at 6PM EST. I will be on and some others close to her. He'll also be taking calls, so this will be a perfect time for the regulars to chime in.
