1:08pm listener 126464:

Sorry, we're open

1:09pm Senor Headache:

As I continue memorizing/ mastering the dialogue to the opening montage, my two sons have grown weary of me saying “the whole worlds gone cray-ze / this whole thing makes me sick, YOU make me sick...”

But, you know what? That’s too goddamn bad, they’ll just have to deal with it.

I had a girlfriend named Emiko and when we went to the movies she would sneak in fancy little cakes she would buy at the fancy little bakery next door to the theater. Man she was way too cool !

Wait - is this a Matinee or a Restaurant ??

Free love & nickel beer ?!?!

1:30pm Rex:

Fool's Paradise: In the tradition of free love and nickel beer.

1:30pm David in London:

Spodiodi, ha ha, that’s the way to start the day. All good here. A pleasant afternoon in the sun, and now preparing to take caps off the beer bottles and put in a shift on the barbecue. Spirits good.

1:31pm Rex:

Rev Rabbit - Maybe dinner theater??

1:31pm phat:

George Furth!

1:31pm Senor Headache:

🌮

1:34pm Mailman Tom:

I have a short stack of Boppin' by the Bayou CDs. Didn't know they were still making them!

1:35pm davefromtoronto:

i'm savin my clams for the "bop slop and shlock" comp!

1:35pm phat:

Furth was on every TV show when I was a kid and Company is brilliant. My mom loved him.

1:36pm dave wuz here:

Stang was the mang

1:36pm Greg from ZONE 5:

I used to watch The Munsters Today every Sunday afternoon between Mass and This Week In Baseball.

1:37pm phil.vas1:

Love American Style. I seem to remember the screen going snowy after that. Or was that Love Boat...?

1:38pm P-90:

Have to see ANYTHING called “Witchcraft A-Go-Go”

1:38pm Rex:

Greg- How I miss TWIB notes!

1:38pm phat:

@phil.vas1 didn't Love American Style have fireworks?

1:38pm spodiodi:

mmm crawdads

🌮

1:39pm Mailman Tom:

The Alfred Hitchcock Hour ran from 1962 thru 1965. Over 90 episodes and available for viewing on YouTube. I've been binging on them for the past couple of weeks.

1:40pm spodiodi:

sounds good, DiL!

1:41pm RevPhil:

I remember Broadside. It was set during World War Two. It was the female version of McHale's Navy starring Connie Stevens.

1:42pm phil.vas1:

@phat Yes! One of those shows ended pretty late. Then the national anthem and snowy screen. Back in the mid-70s when broadcasting ended at like 2AM.

1:42pm Alex of Chicago:

Dipping into the orange crates down in the basement.

1:44pm David in London:

Mailman Tom. Good shout there. I always loved Hitch’s monologue to camera. He was so acerbic and jolly and sinister.

1:44pm Papito:

The Happy Days pilot was aired on Love American Style before the Fonz and the gang was a regular show !

1:46pm davefromtoronto:

is "babacue" equivalent to "sangwich?"

1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...just realizing I was probably in love with Connie Stevens when I was single digits...

1:50pm davefromtoronto:

what a raggedy-ass band...

1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...& I've had housemates who weren't like Furth - but one of his characters perhaps...

1:53pm P-90:

...someone say “brisket”?

1:54pm spodiodi:

#1 fave song today = Hungry

1:54pm Papito:

Connie Stevens played Criket on Hawaiian Eye !

1:55pm spodiodi:

i'll say it, P-90: brisket!

1:56pm Dave the Spazz:

I taped the Munsters Today at the time because I'm stupid.

1:56pm P-90:

Cricket AND brisket. Always a party at Fool’s Paradise.

1:57pm spodiodi:

Spazz!

1:57pm P-90:

@Dave: but go you still have those tapes?!

1:58pm phat:

Connie Stevens... sigh

1:58pm David in London:

Papito. I’m guessing that was about a private eye on Hawaii..? A proto Magnum? I like the sound of it anyway.

2:01pm Rex:

Music to Spazz By...the Munsters Today of radio??

2:02pm RevPhil:

THE ROBINS did "I Must Be Dreaming" in a Universal movie short titled "The Robins Sing" from 1955.

2:06pm Papito:

Yeah, it was a detective agency in Hawaii ! Warner Brothers had a bunch of this type of private eye show like 77 Sunset Strip, Surf Side 6 and Bourbon Street Beat !

2:08pm Dave the Spazz:

@P-90: *sigh* Yes.

2:10pm Dave the Spazz:

@Rex More like The Nude Bomb of radio

2:10pm efd:

Hey, there's brisket smoking going on at my house as well!

2:11pm RevComX:

Smokin' along with ya, Rex

2:13pm Rex:

EFD- If the world ever returns to normal, we shall have a brisket competition!

2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Life's a beach & then you frug on one...

2:14pm efd:

I will pass that on to the household brisketeer! (It's not me.)

2:16pm Jett:

Talking 2 subjects I love, around here. Beef Brisket, and Connie Stevens.

2:17pm Jett:

Connie was great on Hawaiian Eye.

2:17pm Rex:

FYI- That was Connie asking "Who Am I" right before Jayne...

2:18pm davefromtoronto:

all i can say to that is ( .)( . )

2:20pm Jett:

I wish WB would release DVD Complete Series sets on "77 Sunset Strip," "Hawaiian Eye," "SurfSide 6," and "Bourbon Street Beat."

2:21pm Jett:

Ever hear the original version of "Betcha By Golly Wow" which was actually titled "Keep Growing Stronger" by Connie Stevens?

2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

....moved from the beach to the garage methinks
...& still no Mansfield death jokes ...nope ...not gonna...

2:25pm Jett:

Jayne Mansfield's daughter is Mariska Hargitay of "Law & Order SVU"

2:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...which is reason enough...

🌮

2:26pm Mailman Tom:

House of the Hatchet!

2:27pm The Butterman:

I have this one on Mondo Frat Dance A go go - I think.

2:27pm Jett:

2:27pm RevComX:

Rapid lunkheadedness has set in

2:28pm P-90:

Are we gonna hear Ling Ting Tong today? Seems like that direction...

2:28pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Has Dr. Fauci said anything about stomach distress bags?

2:28pm sufferwords:

this fool is indeed in paradise albeit one that is on lock down and dystopian but fuggit roll with what ya got

2:28pm Ken From Hyde Park:

The No Brow look is good for hot summer time days.

2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...if I can't see any damn Comets I might hear some...

2:30pm spodiodi:

sweat in the eyes is more of an issue, but it looks cool, and that's all that matters, kfhp. i agree

2:30pm Jett:

Fauci wants us to wear Goggles and butt plugs.

2:32pm P-90:

These streams are overloading me with too many choices...

2:32pm Sylvia's Mother:

Fauci has not said that.

2:32pm David in London:

Spodiodi, as every teenage schmuck who has ever tried to emulate Bowie’s Ziggy era look has discovered....

2:33pm davefromtoronto:

RRN63 - don't lose your head over it...

2:33pm sufferwords:

goggles I ain’t got

2:34pm P-90:

Unfortunately I’m probably a little too old to name my new band “Teenage Schmucks”

2:35pm spodiodi:

No Brow and The Teenage Schmucks could work though

2:36pm Andres:

Can't quite put my brow on what's familiar about this Ralphie.

2:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Jumping In the Night by Flamin' Groovies ?

2:41pm Mailman Tom:

The Groovies covered "Walking the Dog"

2:42pm davefromtoronto:

strange though just yesterday i was reading about her and the car crash

2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Dog on debuts by Stones & Aerosmith. So Rufus Thomas's pooch put some miles on his pads...

2:46pm P-90:

Every week I feel a tinge of depression when Rex says “waning moments of the program”

2:46pm P-90:

Like I’m being abandoned somehow

2:47pm Jett:

Thought you might play Hop-a-long Wong during your Asian set.

2:48pm Jett:

@Sylvia's Mother, look it up, I saw him on tv.

2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...ah would be remiss to not dogwhistle to The Sonics' walking duties...no goggles without sufficient proximity
...in my day social distancing just meant you told people you liked Star Trek...

2:51pm spodiodi:

live long and distant

2:51pm Little Danny:

The Royal Entertainers sound like Elmore James's band on "Rollin' and Tumblin'." Love it.

2:52pm listener 126464:

Thanks Rex and crew.

2:53pm Little Danny:

2:57pm Greg from ZONE 5:
