Mad About Mad About You

You’ll go crazy FORE this podcast! That’s what Burt Buchman would say if he was summarizing this episode of #MAMAY. But he’s not, so just forget about it! Jon and Russ are here to talk all about S3E5 Five of #MadAboutYou (“Legacy”). Burt’s retiring! Who gets the sporting goods store? Paul? Jamie? Selby? Matters also discussed include helicopter accidents involving Chicago doctors, the verbiage of police officers, and the candy bars of ballplayers. We SWISH you’d listen, rate, and review!

Reis-guys and Reis-gals, it's minisode time! Turns out Helen Hunt was once a guest star on a very bizarre 1980s HBO show called THE HITCHHIKER.

You'll have to listen to find out, but the answer is yes! Know what? Listen anyway!

For better or for worse? For richer or poorer? Save those phrases for comics and movies, respectively! This episode of Mad About Mad About You is all about "Til Death Do Us Part" (Season Three, Episode Three). Jon and Russ join Paul and Jamie at the track, all set to say goodbye to the dearly departed Uncle Van. About what else do they speak? Why, Jon's hatred of Seinfeld ranking lists, train poker, and seeing dirty movies with one's parents. Are you trying to seduce us? If so, listen, rate and review!

Stay coolie cool, Reis-guys and Reis-gals! Russ and Jon are delighted to break down "Home" (Season Three, Episode Two), a tale of star-crossed lovers who also happen to be dogs. Will they find their true home, much as Paul and Jamie did? No! It doesn't really come up! Things that DO come up are the Fall of Ross Geller, the best way to smuggle a car's worth of cocaine, and the best way to structure a Rashoman scenario. "There's a place for you/Somewhere a place for you..." and it's here, now! Listen & love!
