sacrificing her knack of silliness. (Kid listeners became participants as
“Mindy's imaginary friends” on incredible, imaginary adventures—
like being flushed down Mindy's “Portal Potty.”) A partial script
transcript of the show with Harley participating follows:

Mindy's radio show XMKids begins with Mindy at her mic and
Harley seated across the desk from her at the guest mic. They
both wear headphones. The show's opening intro recording
plays in the background describing the studio scene to radio
listeners as Mindy's second floor bedroom and ending with her
announcing:

Mindy (in her screechy radio character voice): “Hello, welcome
to The Absolutely Mindy Show, starring..........ME at XM Kids
and you guys will never believe who just shimmied up the
drainpipe. Right here, he's in my nightstand drawer—or should
I say IT'S in my nightstand drawer. Please welcome the official
motorcycle of the Absolutely Mindy Show, Harley, the
motorcycle man, Davidson. Live and in the chrome.”

Mindy directs first pertinent interview question to Harley, “Do
Harleys have chrome?”

Harley (sounding very thoughtful): “Ummmm, some of them.”

Mindy (encouraging): Reeve up your engine, Harley, just to
prove you're really here.”

Harley (enthusiastically): “Rummm, Rummmm, Rummmmmm.”

Mindy (obviously impressed): “Isn't that cool? I told you guys
that he's really here. So, Harley, you're going to be hanging out
for a little while, right?”
