During the dessert course of their lunch together, Frankie and Paul reflect on life lessons from Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin.

Lunch with Frankie Avalon (Part 2)

With Skip out of town on business, Paul has lunch chat with another dear friend: Frankie Avalon! Their pair reflect on 60 years of rock 'n' roll history, swapping stories from the road with Chuck Berry, Bobby Darin and James Brown, and what it was like coming up as teen idols in the 1950s. Frankie also recalls his nights hanging out at Elvis' house — and the time his future-wife turned down a date with the King of Rock!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alec Baldwin joins Paul and Skip to discuss his storied acting career, spanning 'The Hunt for Red October' to his record-breaking stint on 'SNL,' '30 Rock' and beyond. He offers the guys an impromptu lesson on method acting, explains why he was reluctant to do his iconic monologue in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ and how his instant-classic Trump impression impacted his view on the ex-President. Baldwin also reflects on the time he called Paul McCartney an “A-hole” in a yoga class, how he wound up as the first guest on ‘Inside the Actors Studio,’ and his 39 years of hard-won sobriety.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alec Baldwin

The tennis icon weighs in on the Pickleball craze (spoiler: he is not a fan), recalls the time David Bowie shaded his guitar skills (even after lessons from Eddie Van Halen!) and reflects on his long journey from sports bad boy to good family man — thanks to some help from his wife, rock star Patty Smyth. But don’t worry, Mac still has some of his famous fire! Though he’d be fine never hearing his infamous “You cannot be serious” catchphrase ever again, he explains how his anger made him a better player — until it didn’t.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John McEnroe

The ‘Our Way’ gang welcome Skip’s dear friend Gayle King to the show. Together they reminisce about their first meeting in Hartford (where Gayle was the local reporter) and their respective journeys to Hollywood and beyond. The TV icon opens up about how she began her broadcasting career, shares memories from her favorite interviews, and reveals how she kept her cool during her infamous sit-down with a heated R. Kelly. She also recalls the moment her 50+ year friendship with BFF Oprah Winfrey began — and why it involves a snowstorm and some underwear.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
