Mark Sisti - The Great American Irish Festival

- Before we get to Mark, Bill talks to us about the latest Alec Baldwin drama. Alec was riding his bike on the wrong side of the street and the police pulled him over and told off the cops. The judge he appeared before was a smart ass to him.

- Of course we bring up the weather for the weekend and Mark gives us the highlights of the weekend including the best Irish Music in the world.
