It’s not every day that a Playboy Playmate appears on “Sports & Torts.” Of course, part of the reason is that the show at talkzone.com is on Thursdays at noon (Chicago time) and not every day. Well, not until co-hosts David Spada and Elliott Harris expand their Internet presence.
That said, Thursday’s featured female on the program will be Pilar Lastra, the Playboy Playmate for August, 2004. More than that, Pilar is a fantasy football fan who hosts a Sirius XM Playboy program on the topic.
Pilar also is an author. Her book is Treat Me like Your Car. She no doubt will expound on “Sports & Torts.” If you are unable to tune in for the live show, it will be available for podcast. She will be on via Skype, so you likely will be able to gain a personal glimpse into her world.
You also can follow Pilar on Twitter at @RealPilarLastra.
The other scheduled guests on Thursday’s “Sports & Torts” are former football standouts Floyd Little and Charlie Hennigan.
OK, how about a photograph and some Pilar video:
