Phil Harris – Phil Has No Sponsor. ep149, 501008

Audio is excellent.

After losing their sponsor, and signing Alice to be the main attraction in a burlesque house, Willie is distraught. Phil assures Alice he won’t let her be a bubble dancer, but it’s time for a band rehearsal. The guys give her a hard time, and play her song with a little bump to it. Is there other mutinies to worry about? Alice sings, I Don’t Care if the Sun Don’t Shine.

Discussing the approaching reality of doing a burlesque show, Alice asks what they even do there. Playing dumb, Phil and Frankie only hint at the kind of act that Alice might do. Can they get out of the contract with Milligan? Will Mr Philips take them back? Heading to Mr Philips office, Phil, Frankie, Alice, and Julius try to set things right. First, Phil sings, Possibilities.

With Julius locked in a trunk, the guys run into Grogan on the way to get Mr Philips. How’s Grogan’s money making business going? The contract with Mr Philips seems to be a done deal again, but instead of Philips, Mr Scot is back. He signs them, but he can’t get them out of Milligan’s contract. Plus, Scot begs Phil not to mention the sponsor on the show.
