Post Father's Day, Larry gets nostalgic for his dear old Dad. We hear about one of Larry's favorite Dad movies, "To Kill A Mockingbird." And then Larry does a recital of the poem "A Poison Tree" by William Blake. There is also a lengthy discussion of the value and worth of bellybuttons. This week's vocabulary builder word is "umbilicoplasty."

Larry tells tales of his youth, drinking flaming shots and having to explain the inevitable aftermath to his parents. We hear about how much Larry loves, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." Then we hear Larry's recital of Robert Frost's "After Apple Picking." And how he felt like a Klingon, of course.

Larry talks about a movie he's on that is shooting in a veterinary clinic and how all the rules are out the door. Then we hear about Citizen Kane and Larry recites the poem "The Mermaid" by Tennyson. Also Larry argues with himself about whether he'd rather fight one bear-sized bee or 100 bee-sized bears.

Of all the podcasts in all the towns in all the world, you walk into ours. Larry's love of Casablanca takes over for a nearly episode-long "Magic Movie Moment." Then we hear a great reading of a classic Dylan Thomas poem, plus a recap of Memorial Day war pictures on cable TV.

Hear about Larry loafing in someone else's trailer on a movie set and how much he enjoyed it. Then we answer the question, "Does a bear joke in the woods?" We finally put the Poe in The Poetry Corner. And we do another lap around loving Leslie Nielsen for this week's Magic Movie Moment, plus a nod to the great actor Joe Grifasi.

This episode comes to a COMPLETE halt when a pretty girl walks by the studio and of course, we don't edit it out. Then, it's so hot outside that we read a poem about summer heat, even though it's only spring. 

Quote of the week: "In that case, let us know what it was like to hitchhike over there."

Larry talks about the joys of a home-cooked meal with his family. And then everyone went into separate rooms. And we get not one but TWO jokes of the week! Then Larry says why the implausibility of "The Gold Diggers Of 1933" is exactly what makes it so great.

Quote of the week: "You couldn't get a meal like this in a hotel."

We hear about the Ballad of Yukon Jake, why the Three Stooges are so darn admirable and why wax statues are so darn creepy. Even though Larry's logey from too much Korean BBQ at lunch, he battles back from the nods to bring you this week's episode! Don't worry, it's a REGULAR joint, not a regular JOINT.

Quote of the week: "The joke is fiiiiiine."

Hear how Larry's so-called manners lost him an agent. What goes best with KFC, The Maltese Falcon and a six-pack of beer? Nothing! Or should we say nobody. A listener asks if Larry wears a suit and tie when recording the podcast? Um, sure! The sweatpants and moccasins are just for the photo. What is he, Mr. Goodwrench?

Larry gets so distracted by Burt Lancaster that he forgets to do The Poetry Corner. (Don't worry, the show still winds up going 17 minutes longer than it's supposed to.) We hear lots about Leslie Nielsen and Forbidden Planet. Plus, we get a triple shot of Joke Of The Week courtesy of classic comedian Myron Cohen!

Quote of the week: "Audition, eh?"
