(GK: Garrison Keillor; SS: Sue Scott; TR: Tim Russell; TK: Tom Keith)

GK: This portion of our show brought to you by Guys Shoes, makers of Serious Shoes. (HEAVY FOOTSTEPS). Your priest wears them.

TR (IRISH): It's time we had us a little chat, me boy.

GK: Your urologist wears them.

TR: Your prostate is doing about as well as could be expected, Mike.

GK: Your wife wears them.

SS: I'd like to start dividing household responsibilities a little better.

GK: Maybe it's time you put on a pair yourself. When you were a kid, you could go around in show shoes. (TAP DANCING) You could wear clown shoes. (BELL, BOING, GOOGLE). With big flappy soles. (FLAP FLAP FLAP). You could wear rocknroll shoes. Sandals. Tennies. But there comes a time when (SFX HEAVY FOOTSTEPS) you have to put on some serious shoes and start walking, bubba.

SS: Get serious.

GK: And you will. In Serious Shoes - from Guys. (PAT SHOE THEME)
