I still remember watching 10k pyramid or some game show MANY years ago (seems like 30 years ago) and Flip had to come up with a poem about kids on the spot. About 30 seconds later he said, "When your kid is not walking or talking, you worry, you fret, and you frown. But when they turn two, its all you can do, to get them to shut up and sit down." So impressive that I never forgot it.

He would sit by him self before showtime and write what ever he was going to say, I asked him why did he close his eyes 👀, because he didn’t want to look out at the audience, not to be distracted. Yet he landed a live TVShow. He was working in Miami in the fifties 🎉. Tell Geraldine don’t fight the Feeling 😂😂😂!
