We're back with another edition of the World's Most Non-Partisan Podcast®. This week, some thoughts on Linda Hunt (the actess, not the character Tom Cruise plays in Mission Impossible), John is watching a documentary about a weird sex cult that includes obscure European royalty in its ranks, and deep dive into cooking shows, the movie Who Is Killing The Great Chefs of Europe, and why you should see it, that Karate Kid inspired Cobra Kai TV show, why shows about old England are the best --or the worst-- depending on your point of view, and we remember the great American actor Paul "Bob" Willson, Bruce Babbit, and of course, Miss Bab.

    JPod praises "Cobra Kai" for its different-ness without remembering what they talked about earlier: that's just what someone wrote.

    Would any real-life situation turn out like that?

    Not very likely.

    I did a commercial audition two years ago where I was paired with Paul Willson, I had the same reaction as JPod. Very sweet man to indulge my fanboy until I got it together for the audition

    I also think Paul should have had the last line on the Cheers finale. IIRC there was a running joke where Paul wasn't included in activities of the other regulars, and I thought when Sam turned off the lights, Paul should have emerged from the back and said "Ok I'm ready now"

    To repeat, I expect a far more significant element to the success of Friends rather than Living Single, is that Friends was on NBC - HUGE audience - and Living Single was on Fox: SMALL audience.
