Episode 2: Cheesecake Galore

Join the crew for another nostalgic swell: Aaron decides to let the inmates run the asylum and instead becomes their patron saint, much like Salieri in Milos Forman's Amadeus (1984); Uncle Fred puts on his radio voice and tries his best to stay awake; and speaking of being awake, Dr. Phil is in rare form and cutting wise, as usual, about the trivia that nobody else knows (or potentially even cares to know). Strap in and get ready for a meandering history lesson, coupled with hi-jinks to spare.

Pilot Episode

Have you ever found yourself confused about who just called you down for dinner? And then when you ask who's down there calling, the only comforting answer would be something like... say... Artie Shaw (while "Moonglow" happens to be playing from the kitchen)--then this is the podcast for you! The one cure for confusion and dismay is to reminisce and reflect on the good old days, to a time when the celluloid stars of the black-and-white "talkies" were the beautiful people that captured the glamour of the Tinseltown zeitgeist. Two such sages happen to be our co-hosts: Dr. Phil and Uncle Fred. These characters bring years of experience in the biz and have trivia chops that make tomahawk steaks seem like lollipops. Join these sybarites of the silver screen legends as they join the hapless co-host who thought of the idea for this podcast (when he couldn't stop laughing during lunch hour) where they'll have a union-break back-alley discussion about stars and starlets, especially those who rarely escaped the rumor and innuendo mills back in their heyday.

The inaugural pilot episode is rough and still in search of a direction, so enjoy the roving rambling that takes us down otherwise hidden gullies along the babbling stream that is our collective consciousness.
