MASH Minute

Gerry Porter rejoins us one last time to watch the beginning of the end for Frank Burns's sanity. Our guest is no stranger to questioning religion, but Indiana Jones never burst into song! Grab your friends, confuse a priest, and get ready to mock Christianity... wait, that doesn't sound right...

Frank Burns gets to praying and Gerry Porter of Indiana Jones Minute fame joins us again. Today it's to talk about things like the importance of the age of eight, the adaptation of Frank and Margaret to the small screen, and just why that Bible has red page edges.

First Hawkeye wraps up his amputation, then he and the boys retire to the Swamp for some refreshments--but not all the surgeons care to imbibe. Gerry Porter (or is it Colonel Flagg?) is back to talk about "these jokes or whatever" in addition to Civil War medicine, Moutain Dew, and the inappropriateness of image searching "short arm inspection".

After sending Ho Jon off to discover porn, Duke fumbles in the operating room while Hawkeye is in his element. Gerry Porter of Indiana Jones Minute joins us to discuss the many aspects of Duke (is he a good doctor? How many youth has he corrupted?) and tell us all about how MASH went from bring his favorite show to one he doesn't even like. Just don't call him Max.

It's all about Duvall y'all! Jonathan Howell is back to talk about Bobby D and how his interpretation of Frank Burns differs from Larry Linville's, as well as where Ho Jon might enjoy shopping in Chicago. If you like to talk about accents in movies and modern day adult bookstores, and if you don't mind that we ran into technical difficulties multiple times while recording, this is the perfect episode for you.

Are you a friend of DeSoto? Today Jonathan Howell leaves Minute Impossible to talk to us about the inappropriateness of Duke calling dibs on Leslie and to make Popeye Patreon promises that Megan and Tierney do not intend to keep. We talk a lot about Altman's style today and it's safe to say none us will be attending his film school.

Vibrant Visionaries's host has a new nickname: Odo-Head-Heidi! We meet several residents of MASH this minute, so we have plenty of nicknames (mostly inappropriate) to talk about and lots of connections between these actors and Star Trek to make. There are so many people, even Gilda Radner sneaks in for a moment! This episode was recorded during the winter, so sorry for our complaints about the cold, but the message to be kind to yourself and your fellow human beings is evergreen.

Lt. Dish gives Duke "the fingers" as she rejects his advances. Col. Blake is ready to lay down the law for his two new cutters, but it might be more impressive if he cared that they're drunk. Hawkeye is revealed to be a captain AND to have mastered the flirting move of treating women as actual human beings, earning him a smile from the departing nurse. We institute a strict "no powdered milk" policy today with guest Heidi Bennett of Vibrant Visionaries.

Both MASH Minute babies AND our guest's dog are as unimpressed with Duke in this minute as Lt. Dish. After he and Hawkeye enter the Mess Tent, he tries to pick her up with the worst "lines" in history. Megan finds an Animal House connection, Tierney dives way too deep into some historical minutiae, and our guest Heidi Bennett sends us off into the weekend with an amazing song suggestion. All business as usual here! Side note: We're all excited about the possibility of a MxM meetup--and it is happening.

It's just us girls as Megan and Tierney are joined by Heidi Bennett of Vibrant Visionaries. On the screen, Duke and Hawkeye arrive at the 4077th and oogle a nurse through the wall of the Mess Tent. Offscreen, we have a lot of feelings about these "sexy weirdos of the '70s"!
