Transcript
Jeffrey Paul:

Welcome, everybody, to who's your band?

Jeffrey Paul:

I am Jeffrey Paul.

Jeffrey Paul:

I am joined by my co host, Sean Morton.

Jeffrey Paul:

How are you, Sean?

Sean Morton:

I'm fucking old, Jeffrey.

Sean Morton:

I'm old.

Sean Morton:

I know you get old and broken today.

Jeffrey Paul:

Couple of things to discuss.

Jeffrey Paul:

We'll talk about your oldness, and before we bring in our guests, first thing right off the list, we haven't been on in a couple of weeks because it was summertime and there's a lot going on.

Jeffrey Paul:

One of the things that we kind of, like, built up to before we went on a little hiatus was Sean special.

Jeffrey Paul:

And Sean special turned out to be.

Jeffrey Paul:

I'm not just saying that because it's Sean.

Jeffrey Paul:

I'm.

Jeffrey Paul:

Trust me, I don't want to say something nice to him.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Sean Morton:

Very true.

Jeffrey Paul:

But it turned out to be really a really just a beautiful, special night.

Jeffrey Paul:

It was planned perfect from head to toe, from, like, you know, the show itself to.

Jeffrey Paul:

I thought afterwards, the way Adam had set up that area for people to say a word and what the word at the end is going to be and who's going to say the last word.

Jeffrey Paul:

I don't want to give too much away for people going to see the special, but I just thought the whole thing was really done well.

Jeffrey Paul:

I thought it was handled with class, especially, you know, you showing.

Jeffrey Paul:

I mean, it was.

Jeffrey Paul:

It was great.

Jeffrey Paul:

And thank you so much for having me be a part of it.

Sean Morton:

Listen, you know what it was, you know, like, we talked.

Sean Morton:

We did build it up a long time.

Sean Morton:

It was 16 years in the making, finally.

Sean Morton:

And then we, you know, once you get everything locked in, then it's like a whole different.

Sean Morton:

It's a whole different ballgame.

Sean Morton:

You know, it's a whole different ballgame.

Sean Morton:

But, you know, having you and Donna open it was.

Sean Morton:

Was fantastic.

Sean Morton:

I think it came out okay.

Sean Morton:

Not 100.

Sean Morton:

Sure, because Adam still has all the fucking video, and I haven't watched any of it yet.

Sean Morton:

Not going to say anything, but, you know, maybe I just did.

Jeffrey Paul:

But Adam taking a long time to do something.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, that's not.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's not.

Sean Morton:

We're in.

Sean Morton:

We're in no rush.

Sean Morton:

We're going to have it out.

Sean Morton:

It's going to be out between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Sean Morton:

That's.

Sean Morton:

That's the whole goal.

Sean Morton:

Um, but, uh, you know, again, it was nerve wracking because we're doing it in one take, you know, and that was, that was my biggest thing.

Sean Morton:

And look, we'll give him a shout out here.

Sean Morton:

He's a friend of the show.

Sean Morton:

He's been on the show, uh, I was picking rich Voss's brain about two weeks before the taping, and he goes, what's your biggest fear?

Sean Morton:

And I told him that I'm doing it in one shot because I am a.

Sean Morton:

I'm a masochist.

Sean Morton:

And he goes, oh, I did one of my specials in one take.

Sean Morton:

I did one joke four times.

Sean Morton:

And I didn't know what he meant because, yeah, you're paying a fucking editor.

Sean Morton:

Use it for a reason.

Sean Morton:

And once I had that, I was like, oh, all right, I can do that if I needed to.

Sean Morton:

And there was a time I did two jokes twice.

Sean Morton:

I redid them.

Sean Morton:

They weren't happy with the way they came out.

Sean Morton:

And we did good, man.

Sean Morton:

We did 75 minutes, which we'll cut out.

Sean Morton:

We'll cut down to about an hour, and then real work is going to start.

Sean Morton:

Then it's getting on Sirius and getting the promotions and the podcasts and the interviews and all that stuff.

Sean Morton:

And then, Adam, buckle up or go work on number two for same time next year.

Sean Morton:

So it was definitely good.

Jeffrey Paul:

That was good stuff.

Jeffrey Paul:

So the other thing before we bring in our guest is you and Adam.

Jeffrey Paul:

You two old farts want to go see springsteen last night?

Jeffrey Paul:

And the two of you have been complaining about this, you know, for almost 24 hours now.

Sean Morton:

Well, yes.

Sean Morton:

And first of all, I have to give Adam credit because Adam went the day before.

Sean Morton:

It was a two day festival called the sea hearing out festival.

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam is nuts.

Sean Morton:

Saturday and Sunday, stupid outdoor festival to Jersey shore.

Sean Morton:

Never.

Sean Morton:

I will never listen.

Sean Morton:

I may never go outside in general, period, ever again, let alone go to an outdoor show like this ever.

Sean Morton:

But it was.

Sean Morton:

It was an event, I gotta tell you.

Sean Morton:

We got there.

Sean Morton:

I would say close to:

Sean Morton:

Well, I texted Adam.

Sean Morton:

Took us an hour to get through.

Jeffrey Paul:

How was the show?

Jeffrey Paul:

How was spring?

Sean Morton:

The show was great.

Sean Morton:

The show was on.

Sean Morton:

They closed off fourth through 7th between Asbury park on ocean Avenue.

Sean Morton:

I parked somewhere in Barnegat and walked over.

Sean Morton:

I mean, I felt like I walked for fucking seven days to get over there.

Sean Morton:

But I.

Sean Morton:

It did really well.

Sean Morton:

Three stages.

Sean Morton:

We walked in.

Sean Morton:

Cool.

Sean Morton:

And the gang was playing.

Sean Morton:

We heard some of them.

Sean Morton:

Then we saw a tiny bit of Nora Jones, saw action.

Sean Morton:

Bronson took an hour break, watched gaslight anthem.

Sean Morton:

They actually opened and had Springsteen play two songs, the very top of the show, because Bruce was going on right after them.

Sean Morton:

So they opened up a two song Springsteen.

Sean Morton:

They did a great set.

Sean Morton:

Bruce played a set, dude.

Sean Morton:

Like, I mean, I don't know how deep you go?

Sean Morton:

Uh, Jeff, as far as.

Jeffrey Paul:

I only toured with him for two.

Jeffrey Paul:

For two years.

Sean Morton:

Yeah, I know.

Sean Morton:

And this comes up every three fucking episodes.

Jeffrey Paul:

But I really don't know.

Sean Morton:

It wasn't like a typical, you know, Bruce will always changes his set list up, which I think was great, but he.

Sean Morton:

This was a catered set list for Asbury Park.

Jeffrey Paul:

I know he debuted a lot of songs on the tour.

Jeffrey Paul:

On that show.

Sean Morton:

He did stuff that he hasn't done in 70 years.

Sean Morton:

He did thundercrack.

Sean Morton:

He did Sandy does this bus stop at 82nd street.

Sean Morton:

I mean, media across the river.

Sean Morton:

He did so many things that he hasn't done in so many years.

Sean Morton:

But he took out some of the songs that I love, but, yeah, like.

Jeffrey Paul:

Prove it all night, my favorite song.

Sean Morton:

Oh, you know, it's one of my favorites too.

Sean Morton:

But like, that song ghost, that I love too.

Sean Morton:

If the new record he took out, which I was fine with, you know, but like, you know, you get to hear something growing.

Sean Morton:

He did.

Sean Morton:

Oh, God.

Sean Morton:

I was just looking at the setlist.

Sean Morton:

I mean, it was just.

Sean Morton:

It was.

Sean Morton:

I've seen him over a dozen times.

Sean Morton:

I mean, this was definitely one of the best shows I've ever.

Sean Morton:

I've ever been to as far as set list goes.

Jeffrey Paul:

And what's the name of the event called again?

Jeffrey Paul:

See and hear.

Sean Morton:

See here now festival.

Sean Morton:

So for years, they expect the fifth or 6th year they've done it in the very beginning.

Sean Morton:

Never announced the headliners.

Sean Morton:

They would just book this festival.

Sean Morton:

You'd buy the tickets and you had no idea who you were.

Sean Morton:

Go see.

Sean Morton:

And then, like, they started getting smarter.

Sean Morton:

They were like, all right, we had Pearl Jam do it one year.

Sean Morton:

They had.

Sean Morton:

So now they're announcing.

Sean Morton:

But, like, the way.

Sean Morton:

The way it happened with Springsteen, you know, because he had to cancel the shows cause of COVID and he had to put them on the back end of the tour.

Sean Morton:

It just happened to be that it lined up where his last show was in Pittsburgh or Baltimore at the Baltimore, and two days later was the see here now festival.

Sean Morton:

So it would just lined up perfectly that he was able to do the festival.

Sean Morton:

And, I mean, that was a money cow, let me just tell you.

Sean Morton:

They made.

Sean Morton:

They made millions and millions of dollars.

Jeffrey Paul:

Off that episode of that great, great insight into the festival.

Jeffrey Paul:

Listen, guys, we have a bunch of great shows now that we are back for the fall, into the winter.

Jeffrey Paul:

And know when it starts right now.

Jeffrey Paul:

Right now.

Jeffrey Paul:

Because I want to bring in our guest.

Jeffrey Paul:

I've been wanting to rebook this guy for the longest time.

Jeffrey Paul:

He is a comedian.

Jeffrey Paul:

He's an actor.

Jeffrey Paul:

He has a podcast.

Jeffrey Paul:

Let's give it up for return guest, Dave Juskow.

Dave Juskow:

Hello, everybody.

Jeffrey Paul:

Mister just.

Jeffrey Paul:

I love this guy.

Jeffrey Paul:

He's so fun.

Jeffrey Paul:

You know, he's funny because he kind of gets it, you know?

Jeffrey Paul:

And, Dave, this is what I found out after the last time you gone here.

Jeffrey Paul:

You do a podcast on Billy Joel.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, we just finished it, actually.

Dave Juskow:

We went through every song he's ever written, and we.

Dave Juskow:

We, you know, we did Zanzibar, and we wrapped it up.

Sean Morton:

You write the new song?

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Love it.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, absolutely love it.

Dave Juskow:

And I went to the last concert at Madison Square Garden, and he didn't play it.

Dave Juskow:

Let me tell you something.

Dave Juskow:

I'm not a big Springsteen fan, but at least that guy mixes up his sets, you know?

Dave Juskow:

So you're going to hear something fresh or different.

Dave Juskow:

Billy Joel never does anything different.

Dave Juskow:

It's really annoying.

Jeffrey Paul:

He'll change the opening because I've seen him a couple of times on the residency, and one time he opened up with the, you know, I saw the lights go down in Broadway, you know, the Miami song last night.

Jeffrey Paul:

Right.

Jeffrey Paul:

And then he'll also open up, I think, with a matter of trust.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, that sucks.

Dave Juskow:

And, I mean, that song blows.

Dave Juskow:

And when he opens with it, it blows even more.

Dave Juskow:

d it's fun to open with Miami:

Dave Juskow:

We were sitting there the last night, people were paying, and we saw online there were, like, $20,000 tickets, which is ridiculous, but let's just say there were, like, you know, thousands of dollars.

Dave Juskow:

People are waiting for something special, and nothing happened.

Dave Juskow:

He wouldn't even play the new song, and that's completely unacceptable.

Dave Juskow:

And.

Dave Juskow:

And like I said, nothing was different.

Dave Juskow:

There was no.

Dave Juskow:

The only.

Dave Juskow:

The celebrity guest or whatever was Axl Rose, and he stinks where he does now.

Dave Juskow:

You know, I saw him there 30 years ago, and he would.

Dave Juskow:

When he was terrific, and now he can't sing, and he.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, it might as well just have me up there.

Dave Juskow:

We're the same weight and height, and, you know, it just.

Dave Juskow:

Our voices are going.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, it was just.

Dave Juskow:

It was bad, and that was not cool.

Dave Juskow:

We were expecting Paul McCartney to come out or anything.

Dave Juskow:

Anything different.

Jeffrey Paul:

You would think, right?

Dave Juskow:

What you would think.

Jeffrey Paul:

You would think.

Dave Juskow:

I don't even.

Dave Juskow:

I agree about it.

Dave Juskow:

We obviously did a podcast right after, and I was just.

Dave Juskow:

I'm just done with him.

Dave Juskow:

I'm really angry about it.

Dave Juskow:

It's not cool to not, you know, he says it's like, oh, I'll just come.

Dave Juskow:

I'm.

Dave Juskow:

It's for the fans.

Dave Juskow:

It's for the fans.

Dave Juskow:

But it's clearly not for the fans.

Dave Juskow:

The fans.

Dave Juskow:

The people that go to the residency are going multiple times.

Dave Juskow:

It's not like you're just getting people their first time to a Billy Joel concert.

Dave Juskow:

I understand you got to play scenes from italian restaurant and all that crap, but, you know, just hit us with something you haven't played before or something different, because most of us have been to that residency a hundred times.

Dave Juskow:

When you go to a Springsteen concert and, you know, you're somebody like Ross Zapan.

Dave Juskow:

I don't know if you know him.

Dave Juskow:

He's like the hugest Springsteen fan who's been more than anybody I know.

Dave Juskow:

And, you know, at least you get to see a different show every time, right?

Dave Juskow:

You get this.

Dave Juskow:

Sean, you just said he played this.

Dave Juskow:

He played this.

Dave Juskow:

He didn't play this.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, that's what you want to talk about, Billy Joe.

Dave Juskow:

You know, you're going to get the same.

Dave Juskow:

Say you're going to get the same encore every time.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's true.

Jeffrey Paul:

It's the exact same encore in the exact same way, the same list.

Jeffrey Paul:

How many times can you hear Crystal Sing river?

Jeffrey Paul:

Deep mouth speaker one.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, my God.

Dave Juskow:

And there it is.

Dave Juskow:

And that's the perfect time that.

Dave Juskow:

That stupid river dream song we shouldn't play anyway.

Dave Juskow:

The time we go to the bathroom, and this time we're like, no, maybe somebody will come out in the middle.

Dave Juskow:

He can't possibly have crystal play that stupid fucking song again.

Dave Juskow:

This last night, a special night at the guard let this how bad it was.

Dave Juskow:

They raised a banner saying, you know, he did, whatever, 150 shows, and it's next to the banner of Harry Styles doing five shows there in one week.

Dave Juskow:

Are you fucking kidding me?

Dave Juskow:

They're just throwing up jerseys out of the rafter now.

Dave Juskow:

It doesn't matter.

Dave Juskow:

Was pathetic.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Taylor Swift got one for doing, like a good 20 minutes set.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, exactly.

Dave Juskow:

So it meant nothing.

Dave Juskow:

It just made it even worse.

Dave Juskow:

But like he's saying, live and let die with Axl Rose, right?

Dave Juskow:

Which was cool.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's good.

Jeffrey Paul:

I've not seen him do it.

Dave Juskow:

But then we were like, why isn't Paul McCartney.

Dave Juskow:

We know their friends.

Dave Juskow:

Why isn't he coming out and say, guys, that's my song, you know, and then go into something?

Dave Juskow:

I mean, that would have just.

Dave Juskow:

That little thing would have been worth the ticket price of $2,500.

Jeffrey Paul:

But no, you have to hear Mike Del Judas do.

Dave Juskow:

What?

Dave Juskow:

Which one?

Jeffrey Paul:

Whole lot of love.

Dave Juskow:

He does Zeppelin, that one.

Dave Juskow:

And they did that.

Dave Juskow:

The nessus stupid Dora.

Jeffrey Paul:

He does that.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Dave Juskow:

The stones won again, right?

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Stop me up.

Dave Juskow:

And here's the worst part.

Dave Juskow:

I don't know if you guys know.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, Sean, I guess you don't know, but I clearly, Jeff, you been in this stupid show.

Jeffrey Paul:

I went to.

Jeffrey Paul:

I went to the show right before you, the second to last one.

Dave Juskow:

Okay, but you guys are comics, right?

Dave Juskow:

So you'll get this.

Dave Juskow:

That stupid innocent man bit.

Dave Juskow:

He does.

Dave Juskow:

Yes, yes.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, my God.

Dave Juskow:

He's like, hey, you guys.

Dave Juskow:

God, I've never done this before.

Dave Juskow:

I wrote this song in:

Dave Juskow:

Well, I'm going to give it a try and see what this was on tv.

Dave Juskow:

He put it on, on CB's.

Dave Juskow:

So it's like, you know what's, that's the new comic rule.

Dave Juskow:

Ever since Louis CK ruined everybody's life, you can't do the same material anymore.

Dave Juskow:

And then this guy just can't stop doing it.

Dave Juskow:

And it's been on television already.

Jeffrey Paul:

Hundred a 110%.

Jeffrey Paul:

Right.

Dave Juskow:

You know how it used to be with comedy?

Dave Juskow:

Like, I don't know how old you guys are, but I mean, you.

Dave Juskow:

I'm very young to a comic to see them do the material you loved, and now nobody does that anymore.

Dave Juskow:

I used to go see Roddy Dangerfield.

Dave Juskow:

Well, he would do.

Dave Juskow:

Of course, you just want to hear all the old ones.

Dave Juskow:

But, like, somebody like Richard Klein.

Dave Juskow:

Richard Klein, that's from three's company.

Dave Juskow:

Richard Lewis, Robert.

Jeffrey Paul:

You think of Robert Klein?

Dave Juskow:

No, I was thinking of Robert Klein.

Dave Juskow:

Yes.

Dave Juskow:

Or, but Robert Klein.

Dave Juskow:

Originally, we was thinking of Robert Klein.

Dave Juskow:

You're like, oh, I hope he does.

Dave Juskow:

I can't stop my leg or whatever.

Dave Juskow:

Right?

Dave Juskow:

I.

Dave Juskow:

You're hoping he does that stuff nowadays, nobody gives you what you actually want.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, it's fine to hear the new stuff, but I kind of miss, like, sometimes I want to hear the old jokes just sprinkled in.

Jeffrey Paul:

I'm working with a guy who does that.

Jeffrey Paul:

Next month, I'm working with Bob Nelson.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, no, that's a whole nother story.

Dave Juskow:

That's.

Dave Juskow:

That's different.

Dave Juskow:

He should never do the same thing over and again.

Dave Juskow:

Sorry.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, he will do Jiffy Jack.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, I know, I know.

Dave Juskow:

He'll do the bird end of time.

Dave Juskow:

Yes, yes, that's, that's different.

Dave Juskow:

I.

Dave Juskow:

We were just talking.

Dave Juskow:

We were wondering if he was still around.

Dave Juskow:

So now you've answered my question.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes, I'm.

Sean Morton:

I mean, that guy did the arms bit, too?

Jeffrey Paul:

He don't do the armpits.

Sean Morton:

Do the arm.

Sean Morton:

Does he do the mannequins?

Jeffrey Paul:

I don't know.

Jeffrey Paul:

What's the mannequin one?

Sean Morton:

The mannequins kiss each other and stuff like that.

Sean Morton:

He doesn't do that bit either.

Jeffrey Paul:

No.

Jeffrey Paul:

Bob Nelson's bit is the bird bit.

Jeffrey Paul:

He'll do Jiffy Jeff, which is the boxer.

Jeffrey Paul:

Uh, and he does the football player names now.

Dave Juskow:

sting guy who had a moment in:

Dave Juskow:

Oh, my God, he was on top of the world.

Dave Juskow:

That, that shows you that, you know.

Dave Juskow:

What was that?

Dave Juskow:

The Rodney Dangerfield special, those young comedy.

Dave Juskow:

Comedy specials.

Dave Juskow:

The young comedian specials, they really used to be effective back then.

Dave Juskow:

Now, obviously, they're unnecessary.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, of course.

Jeffrey Paul:

I mean.

Jeffrey Paul:

I mean, everything has changed, but.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, he was, I think, on the same one as innocent and dice.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, I think so, too.

Dave Juskow:

I think.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, that was a crazy special that had those three guys.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, that was nuts.

Dave Juskow:

And he was the guy.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, everyone was talking about him.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Dave Juskow:

That next week.

Dave Juskow:

It was incredible.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

And then he.

Jeffrey Paul:

I think he did it tonight show that he.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, he was on fire for like a year.

Dave Juskow:

And then he did the boxer thing and everybody was like, that's all right.

Dave Juskow:

But nothing beat that football player thing, you know, in a moment in time in comedy, it was incredible.

Dave Juskow:

But he never kind of got, you know, kind of to that next thing.

Jeffrey Paul:

I guess he never became like a Seinfeld, you know?

Jeffrey Paul:

I mean.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, yeah, if you're.

Jeffrey Paul:

If you're in comedy, like, you kind of know who Bob Nelson is.

Jeffrey Paul:

If you're not, you probably forgot about him, right?

Jeffrey Paul:

You saw him in kindergarten cop or something, right?

Jeffrey Paul:

But speaking of tv, and Adam, queue up this first one.

Jeffrey Paul:

Um, speaking of tv, um, you're like me where you love terrible television.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay?

Jeffrey Paul:

Like, in fact, I think bad television makes us happier than good television.

Jeffrey Paul:

Like, you know, anyone, anyone could put together a Game of Thrones or a sopranos, but we're talking eighties version of happy Days after they jumped the shock.

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam, can you play the happy days clip and I'll set up once, once we get it up on the screen.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, yeah, you know what I'm talking about, Adam.

Dave Juskow:

Well, I know what you're talking about already.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Dave Juskow:

Are you going to show Joni loves Chachi?

Jeffrey Paul:

Because I know.

Jeffrey Paul:

I hope that you remember.

Sean Morton:

I can go to bed right now.

Sean Morton:

Dave, that was.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, hold it right there and I'll.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, so this.

Jeffrey Paul:

What we're about to see is we're going to see a brand new sensation.

Jeffrey Paul:

This is when happy Days has done everything, but they're still doing pretty good in the ratings.

Jeffrey Paul:

You can see Fonzie's not wearing the white t shirt anymore.

Jeffrey Paul:

He's wearing the black t shirt.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

He's clearly in his forties, but he's still dressing like he's 19 years old.

Jeffrey Paul:

All right?

Jeffrey Paul:

And he's going to introduce a band and a new dance craze.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay?

Jeffrey Paul:

And this is going to be called do the Fonzie.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do you guys remember this?

Sean Morton:

I remember, I do.

Jeffrey Paul:

Jeffrey, Sean, you remember do the Fonzie?

Sean Morton:

I was a huge happy days fan growing up, and I wound up getting the dvd's and watching the whole series, like, four times.

Sean Morton:

So, yeah, you can queue this.

Jeffrey Paul:

I came across this, and I was like, I cannot believe this actually made it on television.

Sean Morton:

Oh, yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

And I was like, you know, I have to get Jusko on this.

Jeffrey Paul:

Cause there's a couple of things that we have to watch.

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam, let's see a little of this.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do the Fonzie.

Dave Juskow:

Which one's my camera?

Dave Juskow:

This one here?

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Look how cool he is.

Dave Juskow:

How you doing out there?

Dave Juskow:

You want a new dance?

Dave Juskow:

I got a new dance, and it's gonna be done by a friend of mine.

Dave Juskow:

Soon to be a friend of yours.

Dave Juskow:

That's right.

Dave Juskow:

Leather Tuscadero right now.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, yeah.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Here she comes.

Jeffrey Paul:

Later, brother.

Jeffrey Paul:

He didn't.

Jeffrey Paul:

Fucker.

Dave Juskow:

Leather is being backed up by some more friends of mine.

Dave Juskow:

Banned.

Jeffrey Paul:

That was holding for a second there, Adam.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, that was the joke, and it's a running joke.

Jeffrey Paul:

He refers to the band as band and listen to the crowd laughing like.

Jeffrey Paul:

Like you would think this was, like, the debut of Jim Carrey.

Dave Juskow:

I don't know why there was, you know, after the Pinky Toscadero Fidasco.

Dave Juskow:

The leather was the big.

Dave Juskow:

The next big thing, supposedly.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, you know what happened with Pinky Tuscadero, right?

Dave Juskow:

I do.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's right.

Jeffrey Paul:

For those of you who don't know, she was supposed to be a regular on the show, but supposedly, she was such a bitch to work with, and I.

Jeffrey Paul:

A mess.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

You see her on the Poland Halloween special?

Jeffrey Paul:

Of course I saw that.

Jeffrey Paul:

Did you ever see kiss on the Poland?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

Isn't that incredible?

Jeffrey Paul:

I can't believe that.

Dave Juskow:

Ladies and gentlemen, kiss.

Jeffrey Paul:

And he's kind of, like, teasing them a little bit, too, like, come on, Paul.

Jeffrey Paul:

And, you know, and I didn't know he was gay.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, really?

Jeffrey Paul:

No, I had no gay.

Jeffrey Paul:

I just thought he was, like, funny and fluent, buoyant, and he was Uncle Arthur.

Dave Juskow:

I love the fact that, you know, he was gay and he was just.

Dave Juskow:

That's why I felt like he was always laughing.

Dave Juskow:

Like everything he said had a gay overtone to it.

Dave Juskow:

So it's like, uh, listen, boys, you know, you never see the Paul Lynn show where he plays a dad married to a girl.

Dave Juskow:

It's just like, every line is like, are you saying my daughter is an adult or something?

Dave Juskow:

I mean, he was so gay, and that's what made him.

Jeffrey Paul:

He was so gay.

Jeffrey Paul:

But he.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, if you could.

Dave Juskow:

The Pauline Halloween special has both witchy poo and the wicked witch of the west in one.

Dave Juskow:

One.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's right.

Dave Juskow:

Margaret Hamilton.

Jeffrey Paul:

Hamilton.

Dave Juskow:

Now, look, Mister Lynn, you know very well today's Halloween.

Jeffrey Paul:

You know, the thing is, like, off of camera, Paul Lynn supposedly was like a raging anti semite.

Jeffrey Paul:

Who?

Dave Juskow:

Oh, Paul Lynn.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, well, he was just a drunk.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, he was.

Jeffrey Paul:

He was a drunk, but that was like, supposedly the room.

Jeffrey Paul:

He was a big anti semite.

Jeffrey Paul:

All right, Adam, play a little bit more of do the Fonzie.

Jeffrey Paul:

We got.

Jeffrey Paul:

We got to see the dance.

Sean Morton:

It's called do the Fonzie.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do the Fonzie.

Jeffrey Paul:

Guys, this was on tv.

Jeffrey Paul:

60 million people would watch this on a Tuesday night.

Jeffrey Paul:

Watch the way funsy dances.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do you think he wanted to do this?

Dave Juskow:

I don't know.

Jeffrey Paul:

Kind of put him up to it.

Jeffrey Paul:

Like, those were the kids.

Jeffrey Paul:

They were supposed to be into it.

Jeffrey Paul:

And the next day you were supposed to go to school and say, oh, we got to do the Fonzie.

Dave Juskow:

Do the Fonzie.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

This is so cool.

Jeffrey Paul:

Look how cool Fonzie.

Jeffrey Paul:

Just stand there.

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, my God, this was on tv.

Jeffrey Paul:

Just remember that.

Jeffrey Paul:

Look at this guy.

Jeffrey Paul:

Now all the kids, they can't control themselves, and they gotta come out, dance and do the Fonzie.

Jeffrey Paul:

Both do the big dance craze.

Jeffrey Paul:

Even his jeans suck.

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, God.

Dave Juskow:

I'll tell you, though, Adam, stop it.

Dave Juskow:

He's so cool.

Dave Juskow:

Like, he really is good.

Dave Juskow:

Like, he's.

Dave Juskow:

He's just so good at what he does in that character that, although that's the stupidest thing ever, he still looks cool in it.

Dave Juskow:

Like, he still found a way to, like, move, and he moves well, and he's just.

Dave Juskow:

He's into, like, he was never complaining.

Dave Juskow:

You know, from what you hear about people talking about him, he was a joy on the set.

Dave Juskow:

And obviously, he could have been the biggest dick ever.

Dave Juskow:

And, you know, they wanted to call it Fonzie's happy days after this second season.

Dave Juskow:

And he's like, no, I don't want that.

Dave Juskow:

And Ron Howard was upset about it even, you know, Ron Howard was the star.

Dave Juskow:

He kept me, made sure Ron Howard was still first.

Dave Juskow:

Even though Fonzie moved up the second credits, he was apparently a real team player, which is amazing.

Dave Juskow:

But when he's moving in that, and he's in character, he's the best.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, when we were kids, he was the greatest.

Sean Morton:

Adam, I got a question for you.

Sean Morton:

Do you think we can carve out, like, maybe two or 3 hours where me, you, and jeff can just get together, you can bring some equipment, and we can have jeff reenact the fonzie that way?

Sean Morton:

That's actually the direction I want to go, is the new intro for my special.

Sean Morton:

I would love to have jeff.

Dave Juskow:

You could move that way.

Jeffrey Paul:

I don't know if I can move like fonzie.

Dave Juskow:

I know he looked pretty good.

Jeffrey Paul:

I mean, I could do the.

Sean Morton:

I can press your jeans, though, to make them look like, make them look like fonzie's jeans.

Sean Morton:

Those, those are pretty horrific.

Jeffrey Paul:

Unfortunately, I have those jeans.

Sean Morton:

What a surprise.

Jeffrey Paul:

I still wear those jeans.

Dave Juskow:

I do.

Dave Juskow:

You know the, the story of him that I always used to have this joke that, saying he must have had the greatest agent, because if you ever read up on happy days, they did not want him.

Dave Juskow:

They wanted, like, a sylvester stallone type.

Dave Juskow:

And I picture his agent going, well, we don't have that, but we got a jewish guy with a winning smile.

Dave Juskow:

You're going to like.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, it's just, it's, it's amazing when you think about.

Dave Juskow:

Because I, you know, I, you know, I teach at this university, right?

Dave Juskow:

So I teach this kind of stuff and try to explain to the kids how popular he was.

Dave Juskow:

You.

Dave Juskow:

You can't explain it when you're watching it.

Dave Juskow:

If you're any, if you're in 20, you can't possibly imagine when he did that motorcycle jump.

Dave Juskow:

I remember when, when he was about to do it and hit the jukebox and it didn't go on.

Dave Juskow:

I remember my dad going, he lost his power.

Dave Juskow:

Like, he.

Dave Juskow:

Everybody was all in.

Dave Juskow:

It's.

Dave Juskow:

You can't explain it.

Sean Morton:

He was definitely a hero of mine growing up as a child.

Sean Morton:

Like, it was always me too, him and rocky.

Sean Morton:

And so when they went to, uh, I went to one of those autograph, uh, horror conventions, like chilling chiller.

Sean Morton:

Yeah.

Sean Morton:

And the one in Jersey.

Sean Morton:

Yes.

Sean Morton:

And I'm not a huge fan of, uh, you know, paying for pictures and autographs and stuff like that.

Sean Morton:

But I was like, you know what?

Sean Morton:

This is Henry Winkler.

Sean Morton:

This is definitely a hero of mine.

Sean Morton:

I'm doing it, and I get up there and I don't get starstruck.

Sean Morton:

You know, we've all.

Sean Morton:

We were all in this business a long time.

Sean Morton:

We have all met some really huge fucking people.

Sean Morton:

You know, it's not a big deal anymore.

Jeffrey Paul:

More.

Sean Morton:

I was definitely a little starstruck when I met him.

Sean Morton:

And the second he opened his mouth, he was no longer the fonz.

Sean Morton:

He was a jewish grandfather.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

Isn't that funny?

Sean Morton:

He was the nice.

Sean Morton:

It's just the nicest, sweetest, like, most caring, down to earth man.

Sean Morton:

In a way, it kind of ruined Fonsi for me.

Dave Juskow:

Well, you know, it's funny, they have this thing they.

Dave Juskow:

Where they do all these interviews at were the, like, emmy or tv, you know, whatever, the archives.

Dave Juskow:

And he was explaining the character.

Dave Juskow:

And it's kind of funny because, you know, we forget it's a character sometimes until what you just saw.

Dave Juskow:

You know, you're like, oh, wait, it's a character.

Jeffrey Paul:

Which shows he was a really good actor.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, exactly.

Dave Juskow:

So he was telling the story how when they first became really successful, they were at a mall, him and Richie and Potsy and Ralph, and there was so many crowds, and they had to get to this limo.

Dave Juskow:

So he said he just went into the character, and then he does.

Dave Juskow:

He goes, okay, everybody's got to move.

Dave Juskow:

Like the parting of the sea.

Dave Juskow:

And when he did it, like, when you heard it, you're like, it's a character.

Dave Juskow:

It's like you just.

Dave Juskow:

I don't know why we didn't think of it.

Dave Juskow:

We're like.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, he was just so fucking good at that.

Dave Juskow:

But then when you hear the difference, like you said, he's like a jewish grandfather.

Dave Juskow:

But then when he goes into the character, it's.

Dave Juskow:

It takes you back, and it's incredible.

Dave Juskow:

Like, even now, if he did that character for you and said one line in that, you would have been like, oh, I'm back.

Sean Morton:

I'm watching this documentary.

Sean Morton:

I don't know if you saw it.

Sean Morton:

Jeff on the Sopranos, the two parter one that's on HBO, Max and I.

Jeffrey Paul:

Would love to see something like that.

Dave Juskow:

I want to see that, too.

Sean Morton:

It just came out.

Sean Morton:

I just watched the first episode, so it's kind of like the same kind of thing with James Gamble Feeney.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, right.

Sean Morton:

Everybody kind of looks at him now as he's one of those few actors where no matter what he's done in his career, either before or after, he is Tony Soprano.

Sean Morton:

And I think Henry kind of falls into that category, too.

Sean Morton:

Like, he's done a tremendous amount of things in his life, but he's always going to be remembered as the fonts.

Sean Morton:

So you're going to have that car.

Jeffrey Paul:

I think the only other thing that he was not the Fonzon was probably water boy.

Sean Morton:

Right, exactly.

Dave Juskow:

But that's why it was so.

Dave Juskow:

That's why he was so beloved in Barry, and that's why people wanted him to win, you know, because it's just like, you just, we all worship the funds.

Dave Juskow:

Adam Sandler clearly worshiped them, which is why he had him in multiple movies.

Jeffrey Paul:

Right.

Dave Juskow:

He just meant so much to us as kids.

Jeffrey Paul:

You know something?

Jeffrey Paul:

It really wasn't supposed to be Henry Winkler.

Jeffrey Paul:

You know, who went out for the part, I believe he turned it down, was Mickey Dolenz.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, that's right.

Dave Juskow:

I heard about that, too.

Jeffrey Paul:

And you had mentioned riding the motorcycle.

Jeffrey Paul:

He never rode the motorcycle.

Jeffrey Paul:

It was always a dough.

Jeffrey Paul:

He, he wrote it.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

He only maybe rode for a couple of feet in a scene, but he never really rode the most.

Dave Juskow:

That's really funny.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, so if you think do the Fonzie was cringe and get the next one up, this one, I don't.

Jeffrey Paul:

I don't know, Dave, if you even saw this one.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, but do you remember the companion show to happy days was Laverne and Shirley?

Dave Juskow:

Yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

And there was, there was a guy who after, like, people started to leave.

Jeffrey Paul:

I don't even know if Shirley's in the show anymore.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, she, I think, ended at.

Dave Juskow:

Well, her and Penny Marshall didn't seem to get along at the end.

Jeffrey Paul:

Right, okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

So I don't think Lenny was a squiggy state.

Jeffrey Paul:

Lenny, I think, is gone.

Jeffrey Paul:

And they tried to have a breakout star.

Jeffrey Paul:

And remember who that.

Jeffrey Paul:

You got it.

Jeffrey Paul:

And this one, and get it up because this one is called do the Carmine.

Jeffrey Paul:

And look.

Jeffrey Paul:

And look at who the Jay Leno.

Jeffrey Paul:

It is a young blackhead Jay Leno.

Dave Juskow:

Remember that?

Jeffrey Paul:

Did you see this one?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, of course.

Dave Juskow:

I've seen all of Jay Leno's earlier.

Jeffrey Paul:

You've seen this bit?

Dave Juskow:

I've seen this bit.

Dave Juskow:

And I've seen the Jay Leno one day at a time as well.

Jeffrey Paul:

Sean, you've never seen this, right?

Sean Morton:

Yes, I have not seen.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, to our audience, we have.

Jeffrey Paul:

This is Jay Leno as the host.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

And this is gonna be the newest dance sensation.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do the comment show.

Jeffrey Paul:

Hit it, Adam.

Dave Juskow:

We have a new dance making its world premiere.

Dave Juskow:

Hey, everybody, when the history books right, the story.

Dave Juskow:

Rock and roll.

Dave Juskow:

Brio.

Dave Juskow:

Got it.

Jeffrey Paul:

Chapter one.

Dave Juskow:

Here's Carmine doing to the.

Dave Juskow:

Carmine.

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam, hold it for a second, okay, now, if you look over onto the left side of the screen, you see, you know the woman in the red?

Jeffrey Paul:

That's Laverne.

Jeffrey Paul:

She what?

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, look, she looks pretty hot, don't you think?

Dave Juskow:

I do.

Dave Juskow:

One of my friends slept with her and said she had a very big vagina.

Jeffrey Paul:

Really?

Dave Juskow:

Sorry, go ahead.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, that is something I wouldn't have known.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, that's worth interrupting.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

To know that.

Jeffrey Paul:

That Penny Marshall had a big vagina.

Dave Juskow:

I'll tell you the story after.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, I met her once.

Jeffrey Paul:

She wasn't the friend.

Jeffrey Paul:

I met her actually more than once.

Dave Juskow:

I met her twice.

Dave Juskow:

Very nice.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, she wasn't the first time she was okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

Second time, not.

Jeffrey Paul:

Not the nicest.

Dave Juskow:

I heard that.

Dave Juskow:

I was lucky.

Dave Juskow:

I talked about her, about sports.

Dave Juskow:

So we got along pretty well.

Jeffrey Paul:

But look, in this, I mean, her legs, her body looks pretty good.

Dave Juskow:

I know.

Dave Juskow:

I didn't know it was her exactly.

Dave Juskow:

I was, like, turned on by her, and now I'm not.

Jeffrey Paul:

All right.

Dave Juskow:

Also, that big vagina, you know, now use the polite word.

Jeffrey Paul:

This big vagina.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, let's see, let's see.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do the carmine.

Jeffrey Paul:

Also, they spent a lot of money on that set.

Jeffrey Paul:

It looked like the stage that you accomplished.

Jeffrey Paul:

Comedy club.

Jeffrey Paul:

Sean, do you think you can do the combine?

Dave Juskow:

He could do it, but maybe not in those pants.

Jeffrey Paul:

People were supposed to go out and go to clubs and do this.

Jeffrey Paul:

I can't believe Penny Marshall is actually doing it.

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam, can you hold it for a second?

Jeffrey Paul:

Did he have.

Jeffrey Paul:

Did she have an executive credit on this?

Dave Juskow:

On the show in general?

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Dave Juskow:

Well, her brother was the producer, so I think towards the end, she must have gotten some sort of thing.

Dave Juskow:

But I'll tell you, the really interesting part about the weird part about this.

Jeffrey Paul:

Is that big vagina.

Dave Juskow:

Besides that, this guy, I think his name's Eddie Mecca, was a really good dancer.

Dave Juskow:

And the funny thing about this dude, the Carmen, he's not really dancing that much unless he dumbed it down later.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, the whole thing is supposed to be.

Jeffrey Paul:

It's supposed to be the new dance craze.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, exactly.

Dave Juskow:

And the great part about this is, and this is the part you and I like, is that when Penny Marshall directed a league of their own, she had him in it in the big dancing with Madonna.

Dave Juskow:

And I can't tell you, when I was in the movie theater, and I'm like, oh, my God, it's the big ragu.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

He was almost unrecognizable.

Dave Juskow:

Well, it was because he got old almost 20 years later.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, but he was still a great.

Dave Juskow:

Dancer, and he's dancing with Madonna, and I love the fact that Penny Marshall and him were clearly still friends.

Dave Juskow:

Like, hey, you got to be in this dance scene.

Dave Juskow:

What dancer?

Dave Juskow:

And he's not really dancing.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, it's supposed to be that, because.

Dave Juskow:

This is a Carmine.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do you understand?

Jeffrey Paul:

Do you understand what's supposed to be happening here?

Jeffrey Paul:

Mister Lennon just got.

Jeffrey Paul:

What's supposed to be happening here is that you're supposed to watch this, and then as a kid, you're supposed to go out and go, listen, Friday night, guys, we got to go out and do the carmine.

Dave Juskow:

What is the carmine?

Dave Juskow:

It's very confusing.

Dave Juskow:

It's a very, it's not like he hasn't really done anything to cause it to be the carmine, except going, just kick a kick here and a kick there.

Jeffrey Paul:

You kicked like, yeah, he's explained.

Jeffrey Paul:

Let's watch a little bit more of it.

Jeffrey Paul:

Let's see if he explains the.

Dave Juskow:

Let's see if it's like a, like a hoedown.

Dave Juskow:

Like we're.

Dave Juskow:

Take your partner.

Jeffrey Paul:

All right, let's see if I can figure this out.

Jeffrey Paul:

You got to spread your legs.

Dave Juskow:

That's exactly what the Fonz Washington, the going down, the crouching and then coming up.

Dave Juskow:

That was the fucking Fonz bit.

Jeffrey Paul:

That was.

Jeffrey Paul:

And the big.

Jeffrey Paul:

Remember the big Fonz dance thing, when he did, like, that kind of russian dance?

Jeffrey Paul:

When he.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, my God, after he walked his motorcycle, like, all those miles.

Dave Juskow:

That's right, because our dance competition.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's right.

Jeffrey Paul:

And do you remember who the antagonist in it was?

Jeffrey Paul:

She was kind of famous.

Dave Juskow:

I know he was in one of.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, no, he he fought Tom Hanks.

Dave Juskow:

Who was the antagonist in that one?

Jeffrey Paul:

Charlene Tilton.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, really?

Jeffrey Paul:

From Dallas?

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

She was, she was like the bitchy girl.

Jeffrey Paul:

Was that.

Sean Morton:

She had a big rack, right?

Dave Juskow:

Yep.

Jeffrey Paul:

She was a little girl with a big rack.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

And, you know, she.

Jeffrey Paul:

Remember, she was big on Dallas.

Dave Juskow:

You'll never go from rags to riches.

Jeffrey Paul:

That was Carmine stank.

Jeffrey Paul:

See, they want to, like, listen, he's kind of like a, he's kind of like a little bit of a sissy.

Jeffrey Paul:

You know, he he's gonna, he's, you know, he's a, he's a dancer, and.

Jeffrey Paul:

But he'll kick your ass because he's a Gold Gloves champion of Milwaukee.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, that's right.

Dave Juskow:

Meanwhile, the story.

Dave Juskow:

It's a comic.

Dave Juskow:

I don't know.

Dave Juskow:

Well, I guess I can.

Dave Juskow:

He's dead now, so it doesn't really matter.

Dave Juskow:

It's Dan Vitaly.

Dave Juskow:

Did you ever know him?

Jeffrey Paul:

No.

Dave Juskow:

No.

Dave Juskow:

Living legend of New York comedy.

Dave Juskow:

He was on Saturday Night Live for a year.

Dave Juskow:

Living legend at the improv.

Dave Juskow:

He was amazing.

Dave Juskow:

Just died two years ago.

Dave Juskow:

And, uh.

Dave Juskow:

So he, uh.

Dave Juskow:

He was a mess, you know, drug wise and stuff.

Dave Juskow:

And he went.

Dave Juskow:

Lorne Michaels loved him.

Dave Juskow:

So he took him to the Yankee game with, uh, Garfunkel, Art Garfunkel.

Dave Juskow:

And him and our Garfunkel got into a fight.

Dave Juskow:

And I finally had found out, like, only five years ago, that the fight was the fact that they were both dating Penny Marshall at the same time, I guess.

Dave Juskow:

And they got into, like, a fight, and he punched Art Garfunkel, or Art Garfunkel punched him, and he threw up on our funkle, and it was all over Penny Marshall and her flappy vagina.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's a great story.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, if you like the calm line and you like Bonzi, then this last clip that we hear is going to put both those things to shame.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

All right.

Jeffrey Paul:

And can you queue this up, please?

Dave Juskow:

All right.

Jeffrey Paul:

Now, I'm sure I know both you guys were big fans of the Brady bunch.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Sean Morton:

Oh, yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, well, this is after years after the Brady bunch.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Dave Juskow:

They tried to bring our.

Jeffrey Paul:

They tried to bring the Brady bunch back.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

And I don't know if this one was from a variety hour show or if this was one of the.

Jeffrey Paul:

The one off specials, but here they are doing a disco medley.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, then that's from the variety hour.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, you got it.

Dave Juskow:

Adam, you know the same people that did Donnie Marie and all those.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes, yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

I think Donnie Marie.

Jeffrey Paul:

Was it on ice?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, they.

Dave Juskow:

They definitely had ice.

Dave Juskow:

They.

Dave Juskow:

Every.

Dave Juskow:

All those shows on ABC had ice after a while.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, ice is very important to a tv audience.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

And some had water.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

And this had a very gay Mike Brady.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay, so let's.

Jeffrey Paul:

Let's see this one.

Jeffrey Paul:

Uh, Adam?

Dave Juskow:

Well, we're ready to do the introduction to the finale.

Jeffrey Paul:

Where are the kids?

Jeffrey Paul:

They're not coming out for this one.

Jeffrey Paul:

Honey.

Jeffrey Paul:

We're gonna do this by ourselves.

Jeffrey Paul:

We always do this with the kids.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, the kids are gonna be singing.

Jeffrey Paul:

Why are they even doing this?

Jeffrey Paul:

And they didn't figure they'd have enough energy for the Internet.

Jeffrey Paul:

C is this supposed to be in the Brady Bunch universe?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

How do they get on tv then?

Jeffrey Paul:

If they were the Brady bunch?

Dave Juskow:

Wait, no, no, no.

Dave Juskow:

The whole.

Dave Juskow:

The Brady Bunch are in the show.

Dave Juskow:

They're.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, they're in the whole show.

Jeffrey Paul:

But they're in character.

Jeffrey Paul:

They're not.

Jeffrey Paul:

You know, it's not flora sensors.

Jeffrey Paul:

Miss Brady.

Jeffrey Paul:

What?

Jeffrey Paul:

You got to see the choreography on this.

Jeffrey Paul:

I must have watched this over the weekend.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, no, I think there's about ten episodes.

Dave Juskow:

And every week there's a dance number.

Dave Juskow:

And, I mean, Christopher Knight has said he does not dance, and it's.

Jeffrey Paul:

None of them dance.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

I must move a little bit.

Jeffrey Paul:

I'm telling you.

Jeffrey Paul:

I must have watched this probably a thousand times this weekend.

Dave Juskow:

It's embarrassing.

Dave Juskow:

If you were black and watching this, you'd be really upset.

Jeffrey Paul:

This is it.

Jeffrey Paul:

This.

Jeffrey Paul:

You.

Jeffrey Paul:

You saw the choreography, right?

Jeffrey Paul:

This is it.

Jeffrey Paul:

It doesn't change that.

Jeffrey Paul:

You turn your hand and.

Jeffrey Paul:

Your point.

Dave Juskow:

See, they're letting her sing because that's the new jamden, right?

Jeffrey Paul:

She's the only one that really can sing, right?

Dave Juskow:

She had some talent.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

Eve Plum said there's no fucking way she's dealing with this.

Dave Juskow:

And Greg can sing, too.

Jeffrey Paul:

Kind of.

Jeffrey Paul:

He thought this was gonna break him out.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, I know that now.

Jeffrey Paul:

He thought this.

Jeffrey Paul:

He was gonna go on and have this big singing career.

Jeffrey Paul:

Bobby and Cindy, they can't do.

Jeffrey Paul:

They could barely keep up with us.

Jeffrey Paul:

Barry McGregor song.

Jeffrey Paul:

Those were the days.

Jeffrey Paul:

But disco style.

Jeffrey Paul:

Did you ever see the Christmas special?

Dave Juskow:

Oh, of course.

Jeffrey Paul:

Look at.

Jeffrey Paul:

Look.

Dave Juskow:

She gets her voice back.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, it's so.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's great.

Dave Juskow:

But look at him.

Jeffrey Paul:

Look at my face.

Jeffrey Paul:

He can't sing.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, he hates being there in general.

Jeffrey Paul:

He want to be taken serious.

Jeffrey Paul:

Here comes Greg.

Sean Morton:

Adam, Adam.

Jeffrey Paul:

Hold it for one sec.

Sean Morton:

So now we have Carol Brady.

Sean Morton:

Or do you take Carol Brady?

Sean Morton:

Or do you take the mom from one day at a time, Bonnie Franklin?

Sean Morton:

Who do you bang first?

Jeffrey Paul:

Good question.

Dave Juskow:

It's funny you word it that way, because the mom from one day to time used to be.

Dave Juskow:

I thought she was repulsive.

Dave Juskow:

However, in the pilot, she's very cute.

Dave Juskow:

And then she just aged really horribly right after.

Jeffrey Paul:

So I think right after the pilot.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

In the pilot, I might take Bonnie Franklin, but as far as the series goes, it's definitely going to be Florence Henderson.

Dave Juskow:

But both of them, nobody holds a candle up.

Dave Juskow:

Maureen McCormick really, truly is the hottest girl I ever.

Dave Juskow:

Just those bedroom eyes and the fucking sluttiness now, knowing she would fuck guys for coke.

Dave Juskow:

That's so hot.

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam, let's get back to this, because this is now, this is supposed to be, you know what's Greg Bray's real name.

Jeffrey Paul:

Barry Williams.

Dave Juskow:

Barry Williams?

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

This.

Dave Juskow:

He just saw him on.

Dave Juskow:

On tick tock yesterday.

Dave Juskow:

Took his daughter to the old set.

Dave Juskow:

It was really cute.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

He's a good guy.

Jeffrey Paul:

You know, he used to do a thing in Branson.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, I know.

Dave Juskow:

Cuz he's been on Broadway and stuff.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, he was even trying to make it.

Dave Juskow:

And for some reason, just, you know.

Jeffrey Paul:

Wait, he was on Broadway?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, yeah, he was.

Dave Juskow:

I think he was in city of angels, like in the nineties and stuff.

Dave Juskow:

He might have done Joseph in the amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Jeffrey Paul:

Donnie Osmond did that.

Dave Juskow:

Who?

Jeffrey Paul:

Donnie Osmond did it.

Dave Juskow:

Yet Donnie Osmond did that for sure.

Dave Juskow:

That's right.

Dave Juskow:

But then they would have people that, like, he never originated a role.

Dave Juskow:

He would come in later, they would try to get like, a little juice, whatever's left of the show, and bring in, you know, the guy from the Brady bunch.

Jeffrey Paul:

Now.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Here you see him.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

And he really thinks he like, you know, hey, look, this is gonna be the next part of my career, and I'm gonna blow.

Jeffrey Paul:

I'm gonna be the next Michael Jackson.

Jeffrey Paul:

Uh, play it, Adam.

Jeffrey Paul:

Whitest dancing ever.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Sean, do you think this is good dancing?

Sean Morton:

Not bad, Jeff.

Dave Juskow:

Like I said, he's not awful.

Dave Juskow:

He didn't make the choreography.

Jeffrey Paul:

Can you believe this was on network television?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, I remember it.

Dave Juskow:

I think Bruce Blanche wrote on it.

Dave Juskow:

He comments on it all the time.

Jeffrey Paul:

Say it again.

Dave Juskow:

I think Bruce Blanche.

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, yeah, Bruce.

Dave Juskow:

I think he wrote on it.

Dave Juskow:

So he comments on it all.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do who this is.

Dave Juskow:

Is that Freddie Prince?

Jeffrey Paul:

No.

Jeffrey Paul:

You'll know it in a second.

Jeffrey Paul:

I had a number one record.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, my God.

Dave Juskow:

Rick D's.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, my God.

Jeffrey Paul:

Look who they brought out on this special.

Jeffrey Paul:

The worst song ever.

Jeffrey Paul:

I didn't hear, like, I think he tried to do other animals in his disco song.

Dave Juskow:

That makes sense.

Jeffrey Paul:

So gay.

Dave Juskow:

Ah, look who.

Jeffrey Paul:

Look who this is.

Dave Juskow:

The cast of what's happening.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's right.

Jeffrey Paul:

Never.

Jeffrey Paul:

Fred Berry, of course.

Dave Juskow:

Everybody likes watching him dance.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

You see a fat guy who can move like that?

Dave Juskow:

He's awesome.

Jeffrey Paul:

Loved it.

Dave Juskow:

And it's funny that the other black guys can't dance at all.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do you know what Dee is doing now?

Dave Juskow:

No.

Dave Juskow:

I think I know.

Dave Juskow:

She went to college.

Dave Juskow:

Only because I talked to Ernest Thomas about her.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, she's a veterinarian.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, right.

Dave Juskow:

She went.

Dave Juskow:

Became a doctor.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Now, this was what.

Jeffrey Paul:

This is a theme song to Lucy, right?

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

So why is this in the disco medley?

Dave Juskow:

I don't know.

Jeffrey Paul:

Lucy.

Jeffrey Paul:

Disco, maybe?

Dave Juskow:

Is lucille ball on the show?

Jeffrey Paul:

No.

Jeffrey Paul:

Why do you put Fred Berry off the side?

Jeffrey Paul:

He should be front and center.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, agree.

Dave Juskow:

All right, Adam.

Jeffrey Paul:

Goofy.

Jeffrey Paul:

Stop it.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's incredible.

Jeffrey Paul:

This was my weekend.

Jeffrey Paul:

This is what I was doing.

Jeffrey Paul:

I was watching this.

Dave Juskow:

I must get caught down the rabbit hole with this kind of stuff.

Sean Morton:

Holy.

Sean Morton:

I don't know.

Sean Morton:

Me and Adam saw Springsteen with a hundred thousand people on a beach at Raspberry park in a beautiful summer day while Jeff was listening to fucking show tunes.

Sean Morton:

Apparently.

Jeffrey Paul:

Again, I went down this rabbit hole.

Dave Juskow:

I would take Jeff's side on that one.

Dave Juskow:

I guess, between.

Jeffrey Paul:

I was sitting on the couch watching, like, I was watching a little bit of college football for him.

Jeffrey Paul:

I had to go to my show on Saturday, and then Sunday, I came back to revisit this.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

I'm watching the NFL much in red zone, but I'm really watching, like, different episodes of the Brady bunch.

Jeffrey Paul:

Like.

Jeffrey Paul:

But not the Brady brunch show, like these different specials.

Dave Juskow:

Well, so they had.

Dave Juskow:

I know the whole trajectory.

Dave Juskow:

You know, it was the.

Dave Juskow:

The Brady.

Dave Juskow:

This variety show.

Dave Juskow:

Then they.

Dave Juskow:

Then they bought the Brady brides, which was Marsha and Jan getting married.

Dave Juskow:

Then they had a.

Dave Juskow:

The Brady Bunch Christmas special, which got interest.

Dave Juskow:

A one off, which got him into the Brady's, which was supposed to be like 30 something.

Dave Juskow:

And then it just all ended finally.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, the Brady's didn't last very long.

Jeffrey Paul:

And it's supposed to be serious.

Dave Juskow:

Nothing lasted long.

Dave Juskow:

Right.

Dave Juskow:

They were trying to make it more like 30 something, that show that was very successful at the time.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's right.

Dave Juskow:

But the Brady brunch Christmas special was very good.

Dave Juskow:

I actually spoke to Martha Quinn, who was in it, who played Bobby's girlfriend in it, about it, and she said that she was at that.

Dave Juskow:

I said, what is it?

Dave Juskow:

You know, like, she got to be in the house and be a Brady.

Dave Juskow:

You know, she's like.

Dave Juskow:

It was so surreal, you know, because this was in the eighties, so it was 20 years later, and being a member, like.

Dave Juskow:

Do you remember Ken Ober?

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

He was MTV, right?

Dave Juskow:

So he used to do the radio show with Susan Olsen, you know, with Cindy in California.

Dave Juskow:

So he told me he went to her wedding, and I said, was that fun?

Dave Juskow:

Who did you sit with?

Dave Juskow:

Because I sat with the entire Brady family.

Dave Juskow:

It was.

Dave Juskow:

Wow.

Jeffrey Paul:

Was Mike Brady there?

Dave Juskow:

I assume he.

Dave Juskow:

I don't know whether he was dead at that point or not.

Dave Juskow:

He might have been dead, but he would be, because he loved the kids.

Dave Juskow:

He hated the show, but he loved the kid.

Dave Juskow:

So he definitely would have been invited, but I feel like he might have been dead by then.

Jeffrey Paul:

Was Robbie wrist there?

Dave Juskow:

No, I don't think they cared for him.

Dave Juskow:

But I got to meet him once, too, because he does voiceovers, and it was exciting.

Dave Juskow:

You know, I'm with you.

Dave Juskow:

I, you know, showing up, meeting these people like this is.

Dave Juskow:

I'm friendly now.

Dave Juskow:

And you know, this Jeff with Richard Klein.

Dave Juskow:

You know, Larry from three's company.

Jeffrey Paul:

Right.

Dave Juskow:

And that.

Dave Juskow:

That's bigger than meeting anyone else in my world.

Jeffrey Paul:

I am the same way.

Jeffrey Paul:

I was not nervous talking with Pacino and De Niro, but if I was to run into Henry Winkler.

Dave Juskow:

Right.

Jeffrey Paul:

Get it.

Dave Juskow:

What's the matter with us?

Jeffrey Paul:

I.

Jeffrey Paul:

One.

Jeffrey Paul:

I was.

Jeffrey Paul:

I still think this is one of my favorite episodes, too.

Jeffrey Paul:

We had Donnie most on the show, and Sean and I spoke to Donny most, and we.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, you got to speak with him on this show.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

We love how fun.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, that's exciting.

Jeffrey Paul:

He wants to be taken seriously as this.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, well, that's got to call him Don.

Dave Juskow:

Uh, see, that's.

Dave Juskow:

That's the worst.

Dave Juskow:

That's what sucks.

Dave Juskow:

So, um, Naderman.

Dave Juskow:

You know Dan Naderman?

Dave Juskow:

Yes, he told me, you know, they have the comedy seller show, and they had Isaac from the love boat on Ted Lang, and he would not talk about the love boat.

Jeffrey Paul:

Then why?

Jeffrey Paul:

You're on the show.

Dave Juskow:

That's why I say.

Dave Juskow:

He goes, I want to talk about this new play I'm doing.

Dave Juskow:

And I'm like, what an asshole.

Dave Juskow:

And I said, you should have just told him to leave because I was furious.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, what do you do?

Dave Juskow:

Does he really think anyone gives a shit about anything he's done?

Dave Juskow:

And if he had done that.

Dave Juskow:

That's the thing.

Dave Juskow:

If you're not okay with yourself 40 years later, you suck.

Dave Juskow:

No, I mean, 40 years later.

Dave Juskow:

Really?

Dave Juskow:

You can't just be grateful that you were on anything.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

When you think you watch the love boat, right?

Jeffrey Paul:

You think about the love boat, and it's a cruise ship.

Jeffrey Paul:

How small was that pool?

Dave Juskow:

I don't know.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, that set must have been incredible.

Jeffrey Paul:

And was it a settle?

Jeffrey Paul:

Were they actually on the ship?

Dave Juskow:

I believe it started where they filmed on a ship, and then it just.

Dave Juskow:

When it became a series, they moved to a set.

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, you can't do that.

Jeffrey Paul:

You got.

Dave Juskow:

Besides, like, you know, the Alaska version or something, you know, like the special.

Jeffrey Paul:

The two hour specials.

Dave Juskow:

Right, right.

Jeffrey Paul:

There was also nothing worse in the seventies.

Jeffrey Paul:

And Matt, you know, Mash, I know, was more in the eighties, but there was nothing worse, on these shows, doing a special serious episode.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, well, again, mash, you could let go because, you know, you had to.

Dave Juskow:

And even I just watched it before I came on here.

Dave Juskow:

The old ones in the.

Dave Juskow:

From the seventies with the, you know, Frank Burns and everything, when it was fun, Wayne Rogers.

Dave Juskow:

But they still had.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, and they still had, you know, some of the stuff was really serious, but in a good way.

Jeffrey Paul:

They did that.

Jeffrey Paul:

That was done on purpose, though.

Dave Juskow:

Exactly.

Dave Juskow:

And if I got a show facts of Life episode where Tuti became a prostitute.

Jeffrey Paul:

There was not an episode of that.

Dave Juskow:

There is.

Dave Juskow:

She gets taken into human trafficking.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's not true.

Jeffrey Paul:

Get the.

Dave Juskow:

No, I swear.

Dave Juskow:

I just saw.

Jeffrey Paul:

You have to make the one black cast member a prostitute.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

She runs into this girl and she's getting into prostitution.

Dave Juskow:

And you're like, what the fuck is this?

Jeffrey Paul:

You like popsicles, Tootie?

Dave Juskow:

But.

Dave Juskow:

But then.

Dave Juskow:

But then I say again, it's called the.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, that's extreme, but it is called the facts of life.

Dave Juskow:

And of course, that's the joke.

Dave Juskow:

The very special episode is always like that, but it is called the facts of life.

Dave Juskow:

Maybe that was their plan.

Dave Juskow:

But like you're saying when you're on a comp, does the love boat ever need to be serious?

Dave Juskow:

Ever for real?

Jeffrey Paul:

It was trite.

Dave Juskow:

No, it was awful.

Dave Juskow:

And that's all we had.

Dave Juskow:

And we had no other choice.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, my God.

Jeffrey Paul:

Right?

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, that's a great one.

Dave Juskow:

That's my favorite one.

Dave Juskow:

He goes like.

Dave Juskow:

And they took my shirt off.

Dave Juskow:

Then he tried to touch me.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do you remember who.

Dave Juskow:

That just makes me laugh when I see it with Dudley.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do you guys remember who played the perv?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, Gordon jump.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's right.

Jeffrey Paul:

The station manager from WKIP.

Dave Juskow:

Gordon jump.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, I think Arnold was over the house.

Jeffrey Paul:

But, I mean, why did.

Jeffrey Paul:

Why didn't he molest Arnold?

Jeffrey Paul:

Why did he go after Dudley?

Dave Juskow:

Well, I think Dudley stayed because, like, Arnold seemed to know something was up.

Dave Juskow:

And Dudley stayed because he had, you know, said, I'll give you some ice cream or something.

Dave Juskow:

And Arnold was probably like, we should get out of here.

Dave Juskow:

And he's like, no, it sounds cool.

Dave Juskow:

And then he gave me something to make me sleepy.

Dave Juskow:

And then he tried to touch me.

Jeffrey Paul:

Who was this?

Jeffrey Paul:

Like a young Jim Florentine?

Jeffrey Paul:

Did you?

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, there it is.

Dave Juskow:

See?

Dave Juskow:

Narrowly escapes being recruited as a hooker.

Dave Juskow:

See?

Jeffrey Paul:

Toady to die flouts the rules when she sneaks off to New York in chaperone and escapes beat to be a hawker.

Dave Juskow:

And it's really funny when Misses Garrett comes in and everybody applauds like, hey, what are you doing?

Sean Morton:

Speaking of huge vaginas.

Jeffrey Paul:

Did she come in?

Jeffrey Paul:

Like the scene in lesson zero?

Jeffrey Paul:

Robert Downey was about to blow the guy, and then Andrew McCarthy comes walking in.

Jeffrey Paul:

Was it like that?

Jeffrey Paul:

Tuti's about to go down on the guy.

Jeffrey Paul:

Misses Gary.

Jeffrey Paul:

She's like, Tootie.

Dave Juskow:

It's exactly like that.

Jeffrey Paul:

No way.

Jeffrey Paul:

No.

Jeffrey Paul:

I gotta see this episode now.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

Cause the girl.

Dave Juskow:

The girl who was trying to recruit her, I think her name was Tammy Lauren.

Dave Juskow:

And she was on a lot of shows in the seventies and eighties.

Dave Juskow:

I used to find her attractive.

Dave Juskow:

I assume we were the same age at the time.

Dave Juskow:

So, you know, she was kind of sexy as a child prostitute.

Jeffrey Paul:

That is great.

Jeffrey Paul:

I never saw that one.

Jeffrey Paul:

But also, I didn't.

Jeffrey Paul:

I didn't.

Jeffrey Paul:

I don't know.

Jeffrey Paul:

I kind of start to lose interest in facts of life.

Jeffrey Paul:

When they started bringing in Jerry, they became teenagers.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

You wanted to tell misses Garrett to tell Tutti.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, I mean, come on.

Jeffrey Paul:

Did you ever.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do you ever see this one show and she comes like a semi regular?

Jeffrey Paul:

She had cerebral palsy.

Sean Morton:

Cousin Jerry.

Jeffrey Paul:

Cousin Jerry.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, Jerry Jewel.

Sean Morton:

Cousin Jerry.

Sean Morton:

Fucking great.

Sean Morton:

I love Cousin Jerry.

Sean Morton:

She's a stand up.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, that's right.

Dave Juskow:

And she ended up in Deadwood.

Dave Juskow:

She actually got work after the facts of life, which is incredible.

Jeffrey Paul:

Did you still have cerebral palsy?

Dave Juskow:

No, that's the funny thing.

Dave Juskow:

I met her and I go, hey, I really like what you do.

Dave Juskow:

And she goes, thanks a lot.

Dave Juskow:

You know, character like that is not easy.

Jeffrey Paul:

You know.

Jeffrey Paul:

What's the name?

Jeffrey Paul:

The one who played Blair.

Jeffrey Paul:

She actually aged pretty good.

Dave Juskow:

She looks great.

Dave Juskow:

She's on that show collector's call on me tv.

Dave Juskow:

And she looks really good.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, she's got to be like early sixties, I think.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, definitely.

Dave Juskow:

I think we're probably about the same as she was on the Mickey Mouse club when she first started.

Dave Juskow:

And she was hot back then, I thought too, dude.

Jeffrey Paul:

Pretty.

Sean Morton:

I was team Joe Paul in the check.

Sean Morton:

I was all about.

Sean Morton:

I was all about Nancy McKee.

Dave Juskow:

Really?

Jeffrey Paul:

I could see you.

Jeffrey Paul:

I could.

Dave Juskow:

I mean, there was something sexy about her, obviously.

Dave Juskow:

You know, she kept getting death threats because she wouldn't marry Michael J.

Dave Juskow:

Foxenhe.

Dave Juskow:

So because they used to work together and go out, they were in like three things together.

Jeffrey Paul:

She wasn't a lesbian?

Dave Juskow:

I don't think so.

Dave Juskow:

No.

Jeffrey Paul:

She gave a very lesbian vibe.

Jeffrey Paul:

I didn't think she was sexy.

Dave Juskow:

And then, of course, she wanted to be taken seriously, so she got some other show on, like the USA Network or something, but, like, she won't come back and do the re.

Dave Juskow:

You know, these people that just don't seem to get it.

Jeffrey Paul:

Don't get it.

Dave Juskow:

I don't know that.

Dave Juskow:

What.

Sean Morton:

So you take the good, you take the bad, I guess.

Dave Juskow:

There you have.

Jeffrey Paul:

Do you guys remember who her brother was filming?

Sean Morton:

Philip McKeon.

Sean Morton:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, the guy from Alice.

Dave Juskow:

The.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, the son on Alice.

Dave Juskow:

Yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam is here.

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam, you there?

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam, is there any way you can find the theme song to Alice?

Dave Juskow:

I can sing it for you.

Dave Juskow:

Early to bed, early to rise.

Jeffrey Paul:

You gotta be more effective.

Dave Juskow:

There's a new girl in town with a brand new style she was just passing through and if things work out, she's gonna.

Dave Juskow:

Wow.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

What you did there.

Jeffrey Paul:

You only did the second verse.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, it was early to bed, early to rise.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

I couldn't remember the.

Jeffrey Paul:

Play it.

Jeffrey Paul:

I can't believe we're watching this.

Jeffrey Paul:

Very jazzy baby backwards.

Jeffrey Paul:

As the seasons progressed, she got more and more obnoxious.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

Now she's getting really get into this.

Sean Morton:

Was just passing through, but if things.

Dave Juskow:

Work out, she's gonna stay.

Jeffrey Paul:

Adam, can you go back a bit to where they show flow?

Dave Juskow:

I used to sing that song on right there.

Jeffrey Paul:

Either of you guys find flow attractive in any way?

Dave Juskow:

No.

Sean Morton:

She's only 29 years old in this episode.

Dave Juskow:

What?

Dave Juskow:

You're joking.

Sean Morton:

There's a.

Sean Morton:

There's a thing that was flood that was floating around.

Sean Morton:

I mean, I was laughing at it because a lot of them were my age.

Sean Morton:

It was like they would show, like, Wilford Brimley when he did cocoon was like, my age.

Sean Morton:

Now.

Jeffrey Paul:

I saw that.

Dave Juskow:

I couldn't believe that.

Sean Morton:

And that was one of them.

Sean Morton:

I think she was, like, either 29, maybe.

Sean Morton:

Maybe even 30.

Jeffrey Paul:

And not a bit of.

Jeffrey Paul:

How did she not get cast in Greece?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

My God.

Dave Juskow:

Right?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, I think I'm stuck age now.

Jeffrey Paul:

She was seven years old.

Jeffrey Paul:

She was supposed to be in high school.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, I thought she was 57.

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, my God.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

I mean, I flo was supposed to be, like, the hot one and, like, going out at night after her shift and gang banging and fucking all guys.

Jeffrey Paul:

She was supposed to be so sexual and provocative, and she was just like, oh, she seemed like, all musty and everything.

Dave Juskow:

Now, that was a tough show because there were no hot girls on that show.

Jeffrey Paul:

There were nothing.

Jeffrey Paul:

Like, Beth Howard wasn't pretty.

Jeffrey Paul:

She was hot.

Jeffrey Paul:

And Alice is probably, like, the best.

Dave Juskow:

Looking one, and she's not.

Dave Juskow:

I never found her attractive until actually, I saw her in this play with Tony Roberts and Michelle Lee, the tale of the allergist's wife.

Dave Juskow:

And I remember she was such a good actor.

Dave Juskow:

By the intermission, I found her attractive.

Dave Juskow:

I'm like, hey, how do you like that?

Jeffrey Paul:

Speaking of plays, I once went to go see M.

Jeffrey Paul:

Butterfly, and BD Wong was in it, and he shows, like, he.

Dave Juskow:

Well, I think he originated the role.

Jeffrey Paul:

That I think he did.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah, him and John Lithgow.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, that's.

Dave Juskow:

You saw the original production.

Dave Juskow:

You're saying?

Dave Juskow:

I did, like, in the.

Dave Juskow:

Was that early eighties or that had to be seventies.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, mid eighties.

Dave Juskow:

Mid eighties, yeah, yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

I was taking a theater class in college, and they would.

Jeffrey Paul:

We would go, like to see, like, off Broadway plays.

Jeffrey Paul:

We went to go see all types of different plays, and one of the things we got to do is see M.

Jeffrey Paul:

Butterfly.

Dave Juskow:

Good deal.

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, it was great.

Jeffrey Paul:

It was so good.

Jeffrey Paul:

But.

Jeffrey Paul:

But the best part of it, you got to see BD ones, like, complete, completely naked.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

It's funny when you see those things when you're in high school.

Dave Juskow:

I saw torch song trilogy when I was in 19.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, I mean, he.

Dave Juskow:

Yipes.

Dave Juskow:

We didn't know what we were in for.

Dave Juskow:

It's three and a half hours of just gayness.

Dave Juskow:

And me and my friend just went like our theater teacher said, oh, you got to see it.

Dave Juskow:

And we were like, what the hell?

Dave Juskow:

What is happening?

Jeffrey Paul:

Who else was in it when you saw it?

Dave Juskow:

I don't think we saw it with Matthew Broderick.

Dave Juskow:

I think we saw it with Doug McKeon, who was in the golden, uh, the one with the Henry Fonda and Golden Pond.

Dave Juskow:

On Golden Pond.

Dave Juskow:

I think he was the one in it, but otherwise, there's a Harvard.

Dave Juskow:

Harvey Firestein was by himself in the first, you know, 45 minutes, and then there's.

Dave Juskow:

There's three different things.

Jeffrey Paul:

I never saw the.

Jeffrey Paul:

The play, but I saw the movie.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, the movie's not very good.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, but I could watch.

Dave Juskow:

That's why it was crazy that Matthew Broderick, in the play played his son, but in the movie played his lover.

Jeffrey Paul:

Was his son David.

Dave Juskow:

I don't remember the name David.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, no.

Jeffrey Paul:

I'm thinking of.

Jeffrey Paul:

I'm thinking of.

Sean Morton:

Jud Hirsch.

Jeffrey Paul:

I think it's Jud Hirsch.

Jeffrey Paul:

And it wasn't David.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yes.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, and right in the Will Smith movie.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

My David.

Dave Juskow:

Right.

Jeffrey Paul:

You would know nothing with my David.

Dave Juskow:

Nobody's perfect.

Jeffrey Paul:

Best jew ever.

Jeffrey Paul:

In a movie.

Dave Juskow:

Or the worst.

Dave Juskow:

It could go either way.

Jeffrey Paul:

He was so jewish.

Dave Juskow:

So Joey.

Dave Juskow:

Which is kind of funny, because in taxi, you never knew what he was.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, but supposedly.

Jeffrey Paul:

Okay.

Jeffrey Paul:

And we had her on, on the radio show on 1.5.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

We had Mary Lou Henner on.

Jeffrey Paul:

And supposedly she was dating just about everybody.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, she was real whore.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, it's great.

Dave Juskow:

And, like, not because she's the horse.

Dave Juskow:

She just, like, she just had a good time.

Dave Juskow:

So she was dating Bobby and Judd Hirsch.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

Judd Hirsch, yeah.

Dave Juskow:

Because she's like Sarah Silverman.

Dave Juskow:

She just likes guys for their talent.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

I mean, she dated Travolta.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, well, she's.

Dave Juskow:

She's so hot.

Jeffrey Paul:

So hot.

Jeffrey Paul:

Absolutely.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Especially, like, on the.

Sean Morton:

And she has total recall, too.

Sean Morton:

Did you know that?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

What does that mean?

Dave Juskow:

She can remember dates and where she was, if it was raining, you know, like that.

Dave Juskow:

It's insane.

Jeffrey Paul:

Is that a form of autism?

Dave Juskow:

I feel it is, right, Sean?

Sean Morton:

Sure.

Sean Morton:

Think it.

Sean Morton:

Think.

Sean Morton:

,:

Sean Morton:

And you'd be like, how the fuck do I know?

Sean Morton:

And she would go, oh, that's the day where we were in mystic, Connecticut.

Sean Morton:

So we got up early.

Sean Morton:

We had bagels, but we didn't get them from the place that was down the road that we used to go to.

Sean Morton:

We always go to now we went to this new place on Main street, and it was great because they had, like, you know, scallion cream cheese on the bagel was really like.

Sean Morton:

That's total recall.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, wow.

Dave Juskow:

Something else.

Sean Morton:

Every little minutia of everything.

Jeffrey Paul:

That'd be, that'd be like.

Jeffrey Paul:

It would suck to get into an argument with somebody like that.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, it's called the wound can't.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Dave, I got to tell you, man, I got to thank you so much once again for coming on and doing this.

Dave Juskow:

It's so much fun.

Dave Juskow:

Like, it's.

Dave Juskow:

Taylor made the show for me today.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, like I said, there's certain people you can.

Jeffrey Paul:

You can go down this road with, and you are always, like, the first person I think of when, like, when it comes to, like, like, bad television and this type of, like, I know you're going to get it.

Dave Juskow:

And yes, you know, I told you I teach at this, you know, University of New Jersey, and I was teaching, I'm teaching an eighties class.

Dave Juskow:

So last week was my lecture on the eighties, and at the end, I get to television, and I was talking about those syndicated shows in the eighties, like out of this world where the girl has the.

Dave Juskow:

The alien mom who was Donna Pascal from Saturday Night fever.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, sure.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Sean Morton:

That was in the box that opened up, and it.

Dave Juskow:

That's right.

Dave Juskow:

That's that's right.

Dave Juskow:

And, uh, um, what was the one with the wonder?

Dave Juskow:

Small wonder.

Jeffrey Paul:

The girl.

Jeffrey Paul:

Girl was a robot.

Dave Juskow:

Robot.

Dave Juskow:

So I, I had them guess.

Dave Juskow:

What do you think, what do you think this show's about?

Dave Juskow:

After they looked at them like, uh, she's a robot.

Dave Juskow:

Correct.

Dave Juskow:

Uh, alf.

Dave Juskow:

Of course.

Dave Juskow:

I was just showing everything.

Dave Juskow:

I love that bad tv from that decade, let alone the seventies.

Jeffrey Paul:

I've got a network television, though.

Dave Juskow:

What?

Jeffrey Paul:

Alf was on network television out was on network.

Dave Juskow:

I know, but I was just talking.

Jeffrey Paul:

I think was on like, channel eleven.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, yeah, that was syndicated.

Dave Juskow:

That was syndicated.

Dave Juskow:

But I showed a madam's place with whalen flowers and madam.

Dave Juskow:

There were a hundred episodes of that stupid puppet show.

Jeffrey Paul:

I don't think I've ever seen one episode of that show.

Jeffrey Paul:

I never thought that was, I never thought he was entertaining.

Dave Juskow:

It's not.

Dave Juskow:

But Audrey Landers is, or Judy Landers, one of the lander sisters is in.

Jeffrey Paul:

It, and it makes it worthwhile.

Dave Juskow:

That was the reason I was watching as a kid.

Jeffrey Paul:

That makes sense.

Jeffrey Paul:

No, but small wonder was just like, who the fuck thought of this show?

Dave Juskow:

And the worst acting you've ever seen, I guess on purpose.

Dave Juskow:

So the girl looked like a genius.

Dave Juskow:

I am into drugs.

Jeffrey Paul:

She was terrible.

Jeffrey Paul:

You could.

Dave Juskow:

It's like she was better than everyone on that show.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Who?

Jeffrey Paul:

It was like a brother.

Dave Juskow:

Horrible actor.

Dave Juskow:

Jamie was her brother.

Dave Juskow:

I just know because I saw the episode.

Dave Juskow:

They were busting a drug dealer and the girls lifting up the drug dealer by his belt.

Dave Juskow:

And they're like, what's going on?

Dave Juskow:

And then the brother goes, that's as high as you're going to get, buddy.

Jeffrey Paul:

That's good writing right there.

Dave Juskow:

Sure is.

Jeffrey Paul:

That is some good.

Dave Juskow:

I explained to them about the eighties, and how everybody was high on cocaine.

Dave Juskow:

And I showed them the 86 Mets and Lawrence Taylor from the 86 giants.

Dave Juskow:

And then the guy who wrote Alf was on heroin.

Dave Juskow:

So I was trying to explain how it works, because it comes into play later.

Jeffrey Paul:

Are you a baseball fan?

Dave Juskow:

Me?

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

I like the Mets.

Jeffrey Paul:

Well, next time we have you on here, we got to do the Mets video of let's go, Mets, go.

Dave Juskow:

What's that?

Dave Juskow:

I don't know.

Jeffrey Paul:

Oh, we'll say that for the next.

Dave Juskow:

I know Ed Krempel just died last week.

Jeffrey Paul:

And the funny thing is, I had seen him like two weeks earlier.

Dave Juskow:

Here, wait.

Dave Juskow:

You'll appreciate this one thing.

Dave Juskow:

You know, I made that movie about the cars.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

So me and my friend, Kevin Cash, who played Ben, or in the movie, I played Rick.

Dave Juskow:

Okay, so what we wanted to do.

Jeffrey Paul:

You played Rick Okasick?

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, yeah.

Dave Juskow:

I got fatter as the movie goes on, but that was not in the script.

Dave Juskow:

That was turned out to be the gag.

Dave Juskow:

That's what David tells us.

Dave Juskow:

Hey, Rick.

Dave Juskow:

Rick Okieck, he's up on the pasta.

Dave Juskow:

And I'm like, that's not the line in this.

Dave Juskow:

But anyway, we wanted to appear on Kiner's Corners, the Africa Kasich and Ben, or appear on Kiner's corners, that Ralph Kiner show, that games with Ed Krainpool.

Dave Juskow:

Like, that was, that was our dream.

Dave Juskow:

But we're like, who's gonna get that gag?

Dave Juskow:

The movie's already stupid enough as it is.

Jeffrey Paul:

Did Ed Kreinpool ever look young?

Dave Juskow:

I don't think so.

Dave Juskow:

Not as far as I know.

Dave Juskow:

Even as a kid, he looked really old.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, he looked like he was 40 when he was playing.

Jeffrey Paul:

He looked 40.

Jeffrey Paul:

He didn't look like he had a muscle on him.

Jeffrey Paul:

Like he looked like.

Jeffrey Paul:

If you told me, you know, his brother is Fred Gwynne, I would have believed.

Dave Juskow:

Shut up.

Dave Juskow:

Oh, if you said, okay, this was a revelation, I was about to just go crazy.

Jeffrey Paul:

Yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

Would have blown your mind.

Jeffrey Paul:

That would be a great way to end this show.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah, yeah.

Jeffrey Paul:

And we start that rumor that, that Ed, Gwen is brothers.

Dave Juskow:

Yeah.

Dave Juskow:

That'll really take off.

Jeffrey Paul:

If this was like 40 years ago.

Dave Juskow:

Anyways, take off on TikTok with the kids.

Jeffrey Paul:

Dave, thank you so much, man.

Jeffrey Paul:

This was so much fun.

Dave Juskow:

Thanks for having me, as always.

Jeffrey Paul:

Always a pleasure.

Jeffrey Paul:

Always a pleasure.
