A Special Presentation

This is definitely a crossover episode with Two Wick Minimum's Selena Coppock, uniting her strong candle loving skills with the spooky tales of kids in the 1990s finding messages everywhere written by a ghost. That's right, it's time to explore "Ghostwriter," the PBS classic that inspired kids without cable all over America to get spooky!

Ambassador Of Fun Robin Gelfenbien joins Jonathan and David this week to talk about the lessons learned between cartoons and Cookie Crisp commercials on NBC's "One To Grow On." Join as we reminisce about the likes of Betty White, Nancy McKeon, Ricky Schroeder, and Valerie Harper do the work of trying to make kids of the 80s grow up not to be dicks. Did it work? You tell us.

It seems like a time very far gone from here, but once upon a corny, prairie moment, Lawrence Welk brought wholesome entertainment to America for decades! This very current program was brought to the table by fan favorite Linda Bailey Walsh, and we were delighted to revisit something so innocent! Float away with us!

The hot dump of a group of sexy singles with no rules is the kind of TV show that brought college students Corinne Fisher (Guys We F*cked, Without A Country) and Thomas Whitfield (Shit They Won't Tell You In SexEd, The Lunchbox Lessons) together in 2003, forging their close friendship and changing the course of history! Corinne and Tommy join David and Jonathan to discuss "Paradise Hotel," the Fox reality series that required people to either hook-up, or be banished.

Virtual meetings mean we can invite guests all over the world! To inaugurate this new era of A Special Presentation, Jonathan's best lady pal Alexandra Pecci, a travel writer and journalist, joins Jonathan and David to discuss her love for Fleabag. All done over Zoom, with minor interruptions, but still a fun episode!

Years ago, before quarantine time, Jonathan and David sat down with Drew Mackie (Gayest Episode Ever) to talk about a host of unfortunate fathers and the mysteries that surrounded them. We discuss the cases of Bradley Bishop, Alex Cooper, and Joe Weldon Smith. We also get into some serious dad talk, so this is an episode not to miss!

Felicity Porter was kind of a disaster? But from 1998-2002, the character played by Keri Russell captivated us in the college drama about a girl who follows a guy who signs her yearbook on a whim across the country. Wild? Maybe. Erin Mallory Long (Best Of Friends Podcast) was obsessed when she watched, and she shared this with us!

What could be more wholesome than a perfectly imperfect suburban family facing the challenges of the late 80s/early 90s every Sunday on ABC? Well, it would be their mom (Broadway enchantress Patti LuPone) singing a VERY styled version of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da in the family sing-along/show's opening credits. To discuss this, Jessie Rosen of Sunday Night Sex Talks, among many other credits, joins Jonathan and David to chat about "LIFE GOES ON," the groundbreaking drama that ran from 1989-1993.
