Mike and Chris are talking movies, specifically Best Picture winners.
Uh, oh.
Mike just said he thought "Gentleman's Agreement" was about Quakers.
I have no idea where that came from, but I found it very amusing.
And Chris just called Emile Zola "Emily" Zola.
I love this job.
Did I mention I've seen all 80 Best Picture winners?
I am going to go back to my boring newspaper column now.
(UPDATE: I think they just mixed up "Three Faces of Eve" and "All About Eve" and a movie that doesn't exist called "Five Faces of Eve" but I just don't know anymore. It's all a blur now. I have to stop.)
(ANOTHER UPDATE: Chris called "Patton" a George C. Scott "farce" and "Gone With the Wind" a Vivien Leigh "farce." Did he mean "tour de force?" I don't know.)

"Quakers don't take oats, Dog."
"Oaths?"
"Yeah, oats."
I'm not by a radio, but did it go anything like this?
i think mad dogs balcony is closed.
Neil - how did you get to see Wings?
I don't know how Neil saw Wings, but if you keep an eye out, it's on Turner Classic occasionally.
You know how Chris gets hysterical and hangs up on a person who calls to make a sports point and gets something like the date or the month or the hour wrong? If these two were calling into a movie show, they would have been hung up on and made fun of about ten thousand different ways.
The boys are trying to let their inner Jeffrey Lyons out.
But the thing is - Lyons knows more about baseball AND moving pictures than F+FL
I loved Wings...
Antonio Scarpacci was the bomb.
These 2 consistently prove they know absolutely nothing about anything. Oh, Francesa knows gambling because he once had a job at SportsEye as a writer, but without a newspaper in front of them they haven't got a clue about anything else.
Mad Dog & Francesa both have what you might say..."It's A Wondeful Life" in the "Best Years Of Our Lives", but sometimes they're both just "Gone With The Wind" in "No Country For Old Men.".
NKR: In the summer of 1990 I had 13 weeks off because of massive accumulation of comp days and I was single and living in a one-room bedroom in Astoria. So I went on a mad, VHS rental binge and caught up to all of the Best Pictures I had not seen.
