Great show...

 

Two things..

 

First of all....

 

1. OK, The French help the US win the Revolution - 1-0 France

2. The US Helps France get the Germans out in WWI - 1-1

3. The US did NOT get help from France in 1812 - 1-1

4. The US AGAIN helps France, this time completely liberating them from a FULL OCCUPATION - 2-1 US

 

Survey Says.....Another win for the good guys....

 

 

Secondly...after all this talk of the man, I had to finally get this hand signed photo down off the wall of my man cave of a former fried of my uncle...the one, the only:

Been too long since I have listened to you guys. I kept putting it off as this was one of the first shows that footage wasn't easily available for me. Like to watch the stuff first before then listening to show. The Bruno/Italians/Godfather stuff to start off show was so funny complete with Parv's pronunciation of paisan. One of you said you guys could do a whole show on it and I agree. So disappointed that I didn't get to see that interview of Garea with Kal. The brief audio clip sounded great but just to be able to see the reaction of Garea to Kal. As someone who originated from across the pond I am going to have to take Parv's side in the "billed from Europe" debate. Looking forward to the Continental show as seems I will be able to watch all the footage!
