First guest: Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Oh, darling Craig, you looked fetching in your blue lab coat, safety goggles, and a welding mask. It's a good look for you. Not as nice as your suits, but still, endearingly sweet and nerdy.

After the flask and cannon of science, we waited for things to go "boom". The banter between you and Bill was funny as hell.

Kaboom!

"See? That's what I'm talking about!"

Oh yeah, a bit delayed, but enjoyable all the same. Science is fun. Lots and lots of fun. We had fun with science today, too. Physics. "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" Almost, but not quite. Unless that swallow happens to be made of metal and is capable of making great booming noise as it passes overhead. Glorious day in the bright sun and scorching heat with my son. Air show, baby.

Second guest(s): Kevin and Michael Bacon. They were in town on Thursday, but I was too busy hanging out with my son to go see them. And, really, is it necessary? Sure, they're brothers and they play music, but when it comes right down to it, do I really want to spend my money on a ticket because of that? Fortunately, I knew they were appearing on your show and saved the dough for my Vegas trip next week.

Kevin admitted to being a science geek. The giant squid inspired him to write a song. That's all well and good, but all I could think was "Kevin, you need a haircut".

His brother, Michael, is nine years older and once beat Kevin at arm wrestling. That's one of those things you wish you had on tape. Especially after seeing the movie Sleepers. What an evil character for him! I've seen the movie at least seven times. Free HBO is free HBO, right? Still, two of my favorite movies with him were He Said, She Said (in which Sharon Stone had a minor part...hmm...wonder why that's significant...) and Queen's Logic. Queen's Logic was one of those great little movies that deserved more attention than it got. Of course, we can't forget to mention that he was also in Animal House and Diner. He was in another movie that I don't think many people saw. It was one of those forgettable flicks. I think it was called Footloose, or something.

I figured I'd play a little Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon while watching the show. Couldn't hurt, right? Trying to be obscure, I chose Ty Pennington (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition). Wanna take a guess as to the Bacon number on that one? Go ahead, just guess.
