All Saints Day
Saturday, November 1, 2003
Listen

GK: Today is November First, All Saint's Day. When we honor the faithful departed, including the saints who can intervene in our lives, such as St. Christopher the patron saint of travelers and St. Anthony of Padua, the saint who finds stuff you've lost, and St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes. Good to have you here, St. Jude.

TR: Good to be here.

GK: Too bad you couldn't do anything for the Red Sox.

TR: Well, you win a few, you lose a few.

GK: And the Cubs.

TR: I took em as far as I could.

GK: So what brings you here?

TR: What brings me here? I'm here to help your show.

GK: Oh thanks.

TR: I've been working for years trying to help you guys.

GK: Don't do us any favors.

TR: No easy job being Saint Jude. Nobody ever asks me for help until it's too late, and then they blame me for not coming through.

GK: So what about the Vikings this year?

TR: (PAUSE) We'll talk in January.

GK: St. Jude, ladies and gentlemen.
