Bristol Myers, makers of iPad and Two Face for the Smile of Beauty and by Talis for Well-Groom hair, bring you Transcribe Duffy's Tavern with our guest tonight Charles Coburn. And starring Archie himself, Ed Garnton!

Hello Duffy's Tavern, where the elite meat seat, Archie the man just pickin' Duffy in here. Oh, hello Duffy. Tonight, Charles Coburn. Charles Coburn. Not Duffy don't hang up. All right, so one week it ain't a thing.
