"The Last Broadcast" with Red's special guests Pat O'Day and Bruce Allen aired on CISL650/Vancouver on August 27, 2017.

"Defining a certain era as 'the good old days' is entirely subjective, but while show producer Art Factora expects decades from now to tell his son how magical the early years of the 21st century were, he appreciates that Robinson and his contemporaries back in their time thrived on achievement rather than entitlement, and that everyone’s skins were a lot thicker, and that adversity was viewed as a necessary part of the game.

'I envy a lot of things about their era,' he says. 'You could talk freely and express a whole range of ideas. You were responsible for your own success or failure – there was no nanny state to make excuses on your behalf. Things didn’t seem so watered down back then.'”

In this episode, Pat and Bruce recall the recording of Strangers In The Night, the guys swap stories about Jimmy Bowen, Bruce tells the story behind Elvis' biggest hit Suspicious Minds, and Red and Bruce pay tribute to the late Charlie Rich.
