Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's night on w B Boston's news video.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Happy Thanksgiving Eve. If you can say the day before
Christmas is Christmas Eve, then I feel justified in calling
this Thanksgiving Eve. And Nicole, you still.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I'm always hanging out for you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm so happy to hear that I'm going to be
speaking with Jordan rich and mere seconds and he and
I are going to give a question to our female audience. Okay,
now I'll tell you mine, Jordan will tell me his.
When you were in elementary school, junior high, high school,
(00:44):
what women characters, not the actresses, but what women characters
inspired you? Women made you feel, made you feel stronger,
made you feel smarter. It was just something about the
way their character was demonstrated on TV. And when I
(01:05):
was a kid, I loved the TV show The Man
from Uncle. A lot of a lot of people listening
know that I became friends with David McCallum, who played
Ducky on NCIS, But he always always was Ilia Kuriakin
to me, and I wanted to emulate Eria Kuriokin and
(01:28):
be the last stop for the bad guys trying to
take over the world. But you know, I was a kid,
and I know Jordan's I'll let him tell his But
what woman in the world of TV?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I mean, oh my gosh, there's so many Amy.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Fairir Fowler from Big Bang because of her brains or
because of the quality of her work, Mary Richards and
the Mary Tyler Moore sh sure sure, or em Appeal
from The Avengers. I'm trying to think of women more
that we're in my era. But give me a woman
(02:11):
in your era.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, I was a nineties kid and I grew up
in you know, late eighties, early nineties, and from right
off the top of my head, I can think of
three female characters. I really found myself drawn to. Number
one Lois Lane from Superman.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Very good and every generation there has been yep, that
story told over and over again, right up to now.
Next Monday will be the final episode of Superman and.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Lowis Well, there you go. How appropriate? And honestly, you
know it was more of the journalism side of things
than falling in love with a you know, kryptonite guy,
but you know it worked out. And then on TV
I would say Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of bel
Air and Claire Huxtable from The Cosby Show.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Let me give you a round the applause, Thank.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You, thank you. Two incredibly strong women, two women who
had it together. They took no guph and they were
good role models. Two women in those shows, and I
really found myself drawn to them.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They were both good role models and good moms.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yes, yes, yeah they did.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Nancy, Oh I heard.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I love the What is it the episode of Fresh
Prince where Aunt viv is in the dance class with
all the young kids and she goes in there and
shows them all up. Oh, incredible, incredible.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
There you go. Yeah, Well, let me Jordan's been.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
In hold for a while, poor Jordan. Get him in here.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Let me have him joined our conversation.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
H Jordan, I Nicol Fellow, New England Weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Or better, now that you're here, how are you friend?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Just fine?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Actually doing great, good good?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So, Jordan, I know your answer from the sixties, who
are to emulate?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Well, obviously m a peel, I mean, come on, I
mean that that you sort of stole my thunder. But
you know I'm gonna throw a wild card at you,
Morgan from the key word no, actually no, I'm gonna
throw a wild card at you though, And it's from
the Dick Van Dyke show. But it's not Mary Tyler Moore,
it's Sally Rogers Why played by Rose Marie Why because
(04:21):
she could handle herself with the boys, and she was
sharp as attack and when she and Buddy went at it,
I just thought, greatest, the greatest.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The funny thing about that, you know, and I all
three of us know, men dominated what we saw on
TV and movies. Writers were primarily men, producers primarily men,
Directors were primarily men. And the women that we saw
very very It was very rare to see them in
(04:57):
a lead role. They were either a co star or
supporting actress.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
And well, Nicole, you mentioned a couple of really good ones.
I mean, I think Diane Carroll and Julia Morgan would
have been a huge step forward.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Right, for the variety of reasons.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
For a variety of reasons. This is going to sound
like a weird one. But with Sally Field sister betrayal,
the Flying nun I mean, she flew for crying out love.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But you know what a very intelligent thing she was
being emulated. Some girl wanted to leave her friends and
join join the nunnery, and she said she had her
years as a teenager. They showed clips from Gidget Gidget
(05:50):
of course, and that was her teen years of rebellious
attitudes and surfing and whatnot. And she said, I lived
a life before I became sister betrayal. You've got to
live your life. And there you go.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Last one for me, Morgan, before I step aside and
let you and Jordan do your thing. I just thought
of Oohora from Star.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Trek oh sixties.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Star track Good.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Love Time. Yes, Michelle Nichols played Ohayota Uhura, and the
key is there were very few strong leading characters in
the sixties for women, of which was one of the strong.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Guests, much less black women.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
For what it's worth, I was going to say that,
but I left it for you.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
You're welcome, all right, and Nicole, I'm going to be
here for the next several days. I'm looking forward to
working with you over these several days.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I cannot wait, my friend. And it's good to hear
you both, and have a wonderful show tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Thanks Cale, and you take care.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
And Jordan, I'm going to let you answer this one
question that won't take a break and then dive into
this subject. Sure tell the busy audience how are you?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Thanks for asking. I am actually very well. I have
been working very hard for those who don't know, and
think everybody knows by now that listens to you. I
was diagnosed a year and change ago with Parkinson's, but
I have really rallied doing a lot of physical physical
activity that's really helped.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And man, I'm.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Stronger than I've ever been and I have my days
here and there, but I'm doing okay. So thanks for asking.
And I want to advise people out there to never
give up the fight, no matter what it is.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
No matter what it is, you bet you'll surprise yourself
when you look back and see what you've achieved in
defeating X. What if X happens to be?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
And if you put on a leather one pantsuit like
m appeal, you can beat anybody here here.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And I'm going to say this and then I'm going
to skidadle when I hit. I didn't say if I
said when that super duper make a million's jackpot. Tell
people a plan I have for you?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
A plan I have? Is it that condo in Boca?
Is that the planet for me?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You want that? That'll be a bonus. That'll be a bonus.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
What again was the plan.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I don't regret you're going.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
To be the lead. I'm bringing back an eighties TV
series and you are going to be the lead.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Well, don't tell me. I'll have to think about it
during a break. What are you exciting?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's the exercise that you do several times. Oh, okay,
and we'll tell people about that.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Pugilism is a hint. Okay, gotcha, that's a big hint.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
All right, there's one open line if you want to
jump on and join Jodan and I six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,
thirty eight, eight, eight, nine to nineteen thirty. I am
hoping we get more women calling in so I can
put this question to you. Time and Temperature here on Nightside,
Dans off tonight. If you ever figured that out. Dan's
off for the rest of the week, but he should
(09:17):
be back on Monday. I'm Morgan filling in Time and
Temperature eight sixteen forty one degrees.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Now back to Dan Way live from the Window World
Lifecense Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
This is Nightside, Sons, mister Ray. Dan is off for
the rest of the week. I think he was off
for Monday. I know last night Gary Titus was in
and I'm here for the rest rest of the week.
I'm Morgan Morgan White Junior. Jordan rich Is joining me
and we have a question out. We're hoping the women
in our audience will respond to that, just the way
(09:58):
I did with Nicole. What femle character not actress, what
female character kind of inspired you in your your development
years of elementary school, junior high, in high school. Let's go. Well,
I'm gonna jump the line, Neil. I know you've been
(10:18):
holding for like eighteen minutes, but since I have a
woman online as well, I'm gonna take Alison and then
come back to you. So Alison, you're first with Jordan.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Risch open channelty anyway, Yeah, anyway, So well I'll go.
I mean I could go a lot because I loved
Ann Francis's Honey West and yes uh and then you
just had her on the radio. I mean you just
had her on the show because West seventy Powers of April.
To answer, I love both of them, but I'll just
(10:48):
go with Laura Parker is Angeliq Bouchard on Nobody Knows
Your Last Name? Huh? I do on Dark Shadows because
she was just so incredible. She was. She was so beautiful,
but she was also so powerful, and she was also scary,
and I just I've just see you know, I loved
seeing her on the show, but it was always kind
of scared of her too. But I just thought she
was just amazing because she she really was a very
(11:10):
powerful character on the show. She drove a lot of
the plots.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And did you wish you would have those qualities that
she had?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Oh yeah, definitely, yeah, Oh yeah, yeah, she It was
the whole thing was kind of crazy but unrequited love
because she loved artivists and he didn't love her, but
he loved Josette, you know. But but I just I
loved I loved your character. It was very strange because
I was young and I was little and took me.
You know. At first, I was just terrified of her,
and then over time I thought, Wow, she's a really
powerful character. She's really cool. She's driving a lot of
(11:40):
the plots, usually in very destructive ways, but she is
driving a lot of the plots, and and she just
was amazing. I wish she should have had a much
bigger career, Lara Parker.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
But in those things, do you do you agree with
what I said that the pop culture world of TV
and movies is then by males. It's very rare. See, yeah,
a woman right there there. There are more now. It's
not the same as it used to be when I
(12:11):
was in those formative years of elementary, junior, high, and
high school. But even now there are more men that
are writers, more men that are producers, more men than
the directors. Do you find that true?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I don't watch a lot of modern television, to be honest,
but it is true. Certainly. I'm sure it still is.
And and back in the day even like you know
the women, I mean, I love, I love you know
it is Montgomery. But I always just wish she'd turned
Derwood into a toad and left him in the or
something because he's and you know, Dick York was good,
but oh god, he was so annoying. You know, she
was a really strong character. But but he her But
(12:49):
also she was trapped in that.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, you indure a bit.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Yes, she had a different she said, and and so
but some of the there was you know, obviously it
was on Inspire by James Bond. But when you got
Honey West, and that's the show that should be a
longer too, definitely, it is only on one year.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Do you know the show that created that character.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
It was an episode of Burke's Law, but I don't
know which what it was called.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But you are very good. Few people even remember Brookes
the Law.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I like, yeah, yea and Francis. I read interview with her.
She wanted she was so which did lasted longer? I
think it would have been better. I have been an
hour show. It was like it was just a little
It should have been an hour show. I think half
an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And I wanted to own a Rose Rice.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I was in junior ju junior high school that show
was still on and in the.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Phone phone in the car, I mean right, yes, I wanted.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
The phone hop.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Okay, thanks so much. Don't forget towed to Linda Thornton.
Loved her anyway. So I've covered nobody else needs to
call because I've covered everybody. You know?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Sorry, yeah you, uh, Neil, Neil, and on on your
next night side.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Good evening, Neil, Good evening, Morgan, and good evening, Jordan.
The one the one character I wanted to talk about
was Victoria Barkley played by Barbara Stanley. I thought of
her and I thought of one episode and maybe you
can help me with my memory. But it's called the
(14:36):
Long Ride. You remember what happened and that Oder got
terrorized and she lost her memory. Just so they were
a stage coach with James Weatherall and Paul Peterson and
Richard Anderson and and Kevin Hagen was the stage well,
just to just to take one part of that.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
The men all fled except for Paul Peterson, he was
killed because he was playing a soldier.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Was very wrote it.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
But the last one was Richard Anderson, who played Steve
Brumman and Perry Mason, I think, and he was a gambler,
so he took life as it came and he was
going to help her. But then they the bad guys
steal all the horses and all the water, and they
said you can ride out, peaceful, mister, and she said, no,
don't do it. Don't do it, mister Matson, You'll never
(15:22):
be able to live with yourself. The other guys they
could run because that wasn't going to bother them, but
he hesitated, and he was very ambivalent. Then he he
just left. And so Jordan, I know that I remember
once you were talking about Martin Luther King, and you
were considering the word character, and that's what the Barclays had.
The whole family had it. That's why they were successful.
(15:44):
But they weren't.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
They weren't.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
And no, it's a great show. You I just want
to mention one thing when you mentioned Richard Anderson. My god,
he was on every six million dollar Man, but that
was just women. But no, no, you're great, You're great.
You know, he was absolutely one of the most active
character guys ever in the sixties, seventy eight, even into
the nineties and thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Seven Riflemen episodes.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Now that you mention because I mentioned that at the
end he met her and they escaped and she defeated
the bad guys just by her wits and ingenuity and
he but so she saw him in the town. He said,
Miss Barkling, I'm glad you made it, and as you predicted,
I will have I have a hard time living with myself.
(16:32):
And if that's any satisfaction to you, And she says,
that's satisfaction to me.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Mister Manson.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Now if I could do one more, just just says
something that very brief that just something that you said,
like who influenced you now this, if you'll let me
be like Perry Mason said to the judge, I'll tie
it up. It's really it's the only person I ever
influenced when I was a kid was was Richard Boone
on Paladin because he was always quoting. He was always
(16:59):
quoting from which are frequently putting yes. And one day
the show is called Something to Live For and I
think John Anderson might have been the bad guy. But
I could get the actor's name, Rayford Barnes, and he
was the type of guy who was always gtting, pushed
around all us. Like with Paladin, helped him at the
end he sward at the bully and he kind of said, well,
how did I do that? So Patterson? So Richard Boone said,
(17:22):
courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not knows no release from
little things. So I looked it up and there was
that's from Amelia Earhart.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh wow, So have a bit of playing with the timeline. Yeah,
in the seventies Amelia Airhart, who's around in the nineteen
thirties into the forties, right.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Did you guys have the Paladin cards? The calling cards?
I had them, or no, oh you didn't have those.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Oh, man, I wish.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
I was born in nineteen fifty, so I was, well,
I guess they had them, so I should have been
able to have him.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Neil. Let me tell you this happened to me twenty
four hours ago. Give a dake. I do a show
on Tuesdays in Denham at the Midway Restaurant, and one
of the people yelled out, do Thanksgiving trivia. No, No
to Macy's Day Parade trivia. I said, okay, so I
(18:28):
did the basic questions, who do you always see at
the end of the parade? Santa Claus? Whoopee? But I
remember this from nineteen seventy and I said, these two
people were the hosts of Macy's Day Parade. And the
male teasingly said to the female, you know, if we
(18:51):
get married, if our characters get married, we would own
half of California. And she said, yeah, but I might
sign some paperwork that would give it all back to
me upon you passing first. That was Lauren Green and
Barbara Stanwick talking about talking about the Ponderosa and all
(19:16):
of the property that the Big Valley owned in and
around Stockton.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
R Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
There you go. I thought I mentioned it because I brought.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
That up just last night, Neil, So thank you very much,
thank you, Thanks, good night. I'm just wondering if guy
Williams of Zoro might have stopped by and you know, said,
wait a minute now, some of that land belongs to us.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Well, he could have, since he was in Bonanza as
well as Zoro. Of course, you didn't even know that
mean that when you first said that.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Help, I'm lost in space. What can I tell you more?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Oh my goodness, all right, I'm about to throw it
to news ladies, please call in. I don't want the
men to dominate a subject. I'm aiming at you who
influenced you as a TV character? Six one, seven, two, five,
four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine,
ten thirty. I'm here with Jordan rich on Nightside and
(20:16):
we're about to take a break. Time eight thirty, temperature
forty one degrees.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It's night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And speaking of Dan Ray, Rob is here producing, but
we have another heir to the throne in the production
room with Rob. Dan is here learning under the greatest
teacher there is to learn. If you're going to be
a producer BZ. That's the man to teach you, Rob Brooks.
(20:51):
So they're producing and one or the other lance of
the phone six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, thirty eight, eight,
eight nine two, nineteen thirty, there's one line open. Let's
go to David in New Hampshire to make room for
at least another person, David.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Good evening, Good Evening.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
When I heard your topic for the evening, I wanted
to attempt to turn this around just a little bit,
and this is aimed at Jordan. We had a conversation
about six years ago or so, but I wanted to
tell Jordan that I have been married for sixty two
years to a lady who I'm hoping served as an
inspiration to him when he was a young kid, because
(21:35):
she taught at Hebrew School in Randolph. And her first
name is Edva.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yes, yes, yes, of course I know exactly who you are,
and we did years ago, and it was lovely to
connect again and I couldn't agree more. All of my mentors,
she's one of them, and I appreciate that very very much.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
So nice.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
We are huge.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
Fans of yours and all of the administration on WBZ.
We fervently listen to all of you at night, and
I just wanted to drop this in pre Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well, thank you so much, David Best your wife.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That means a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you
for the call. And before I go to Genie in Hyannas,
I teased that when not if, yes, I had the
Mega millions and I have disposable income, like you wouldn't believe,
I'm going to resurrect a TV series from back in
(22:40):
the day, Spencer for Hire.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I was just you know what, I was thinking that,
and I was a little embarrassed to say it because, Okay,
tell me more why that.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I think that show? It ran for three years, It
should have run for another two at least. It and
Boston all over the place. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Parker, Robert B.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Parker for great stories, great backgrounds. I mean, Spencer would
be in Charlestown, would be in the North End, would
be in Roxbury, all no part of Boston and beyond
would be out of the reach of.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
That filming all the time on location.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
It was great on location.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now, the one thing about Spencer, he was a boxer.
He had that need to get into the ring to
keep his pugilism skills sharp and that's what you do now,
just for exercise, and you've become rather good at it.
(23:59):
And once I have that kind of money, I'm going
to be executive producer, all right, I will Heywick is
going to be a producer, okay, and you're going to
be the star.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Oh my goodness, you're making my head swell here. Uh
and I haven't the thing. One thing I haven't done
is is throw a punch and then have somebody punch back.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
We don't do that in my training. But I be
willing they Yeah, I mean I always.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
But I know how. I know how to duck and cover,
and I know how to uh jab and and uppercut
and uh you know, up through the shorts, up the
middle of you, if you know what I mean. I mean,
I can handle myself.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Now I need you.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
You could be hot.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
My days of being able to play hawk a long
since behind me. But I need somebody black, tall, with
a superb voice. And the only person I think is
Steve Burton.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I was thinking about him, Son of a gun. He'd
be perfect heart absolutely And if he can't do it
as brother Paul, so I mean either one.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I mean, they're great guy, Yeah, but Paul is a
bit more diminutive in comparison of those two in size.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, but can you see me standing next to Steve
Burton in a in a role as Buddy Cops.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I mean, you're the lead character. You're the lead character
except that, right a, Genie and Hyanna's you're next. Thank
you for taking the time to call Night's side.

I'm wonderful. So are you still talking about the female characters?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yes, clearly I am.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
Okay, Well it's I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Hi Jordan, how are you?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I'm great, Genie, that's okay to go ahead.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
So I wanted to say it's not from my time frame,
but Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Okay, that's actually a very good choice for all the
qualities she demonstrated in her trip to and through Oz.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, courage and loyalty and love and all those things.
It's wonderful, by the right that you've seen Independent and
you have to see I guess the movie's out now, Wicked.
I mean I've seen the play. Is play is remarkable
and about strong female characters. Oh, good, good, Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Read the book probably like I want to say, like
ten to fifteen years ago, and I do want to
see it, but I'm going to wait until it comes
out because I've heard a lot of complaints about like
noise in the theater because everyone wants to sing along.
I don't want to sing along. I just want to
watch it.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Did you hear this they have already? It's like the
movie Back to the Future. When they shot that, they
knew it was going to be a three part film,
and they shot they shot all of it at once,
and then released it, you know, part one, part two,
part three. There is a part two in the can.
(27:31):
It's done, and they're waiting for all the money to
be made in the fuer were to die down from
the original one, and then the second part is going
to be released.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, I think a year from now, right, Morgan?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
And we can you name one other film that that
also shot two the successive films at the same time.
We've been talking a little bit good the one, the
one I just said, Uh, this goes back to the
late seventies, you know, Oh no, no, I don't know
(28:10):
this probably like other other than Back to the Future. No,
it was Superman one and two.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yes, right, Jordan, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Don't be sorry, or you're the best in the business.
I just been waiting for twenty years to top you
one one question, so I finally did.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Oh, oh you got you got it, he got me,
he got me?
Speaker 2 (28:35):

Oh my goodness, Yeah, I didn't mean to.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I'm not getting off that horse. I'm gonna I'm gonna
make that money and I'm going to come up with
a production company. Can you guarantee productions?
Speaker 4 (28:59):

was a dog because our Miss Jane was the best
(35:04):
and and a lot of other women were hired by
the Claster Company because ron Room was on in Pittsburgh
and on in Minnesota and on in Boston, and there
was a different Miss so and so. Miss Betty was
Nazy's teacher, and she was nowhere near as good as

Miss Jenrgan.
Speaker 10 (35:31):
I have one more thing for you. I have one
more thing to you that when we were kids growing up,

All right, please, I could take over now, but I'm
going to let you tell people about Okay, both of
them tell about the pebble story.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
So I was born in nineteen fifty one, so the sixties.
I was old enough to you know, get it. So
it was amazing. I mean, the Flintstones came on prime
time like seven thirty or eight o'clock, probably eight o'clock,
and like everybody watched them, you know, whole families. So
there was I guess, you know, to promote the show.
(38:47):
Wilma and Betty were pregnant at the same time, and.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Oh they weren't.
Speaker 8 (38:54):
Okay, then you correct me.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Bam Bam came into the picture the following year. Pebbles
came in season two and they had the whole everybody
in America writing and name Pebbles. In that episode. It
was kind of cute because Fred seized his baby for
(39:17):
the first time and he said she's a chip off
the old Flintstone Pebbles and that's how they came up
with the name Pebbles. And Bam Bam was an adopted
child and he was his father. His adoptive father was
(39:40):
j P. Got rockets, got rocks. I'm sorry, JP got rocks.
And they had a big court case of of why
he should be owned by the rebels and not the
rich guy, and the rich guy won. But he saw

non lethal gun here outside time and temperature eight fifty
eight forty one degrees
It's night on w B Boston's news video.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve. If you can say the day before
Christmas is Christmas Eve, then I feel justified in calling
this Thanksgiving Eve. And Nicole, you still.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I'm always hanging out for you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm so happy to hear that I'm going to be
speaking with Jordan rich and mere seconds and he and
I are going to give a question to our female audience. Okay,
now I'll tell you mine, Jordan will tell me his.
When you were in elementary school, junior high, high school,
(00:44):
what women characters, not the actresses, but what women characters
inspired you? Women made you feel, made you feel stronger,
made you feel smarter. It was just something about the
way their character was demonstrated on TV. And when I
(01:05):
was a kid, I loved the TV show The Man
from Uncle. A lot of a lot of people listening
know that I became friends with David McCallum, who played
Ducky on NCIS, But he always always was Ilia Kuriakin
to me, and I wanted to emulate Eria Kuriokin and
(01:28):
be the last stop for the bad guys trying to
take over the world. But you know, I was a kid,
and I know Jordan's I'll let him tell his But
what woman in the world of TV?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I mean, oh my gosh, there's so many Amy.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Fairir Fowler from Big Bang because of her brains or
because of the quality of her work, Mary Richards and
the Mary Tyler Moore sh sure sure, or em Appeal
from The Avengers. I'm trying to think of women more
that we're in my era. But give me a woman
(02:11):
in your era.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, I was a nineties kid and I grew up
in you know, late eighties, early nineties, and from right
off the top of my head, I can think of
three female characters. I really found myself drawn to. Number
one Lois Lane from Superman.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Very good and every generation there has been yep, that
story told over and over again, right up to now.
Next Monday will be the final episode of Superman and.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Lowis Well, there you go. How appropriate? And honestly, you
know it was more of the journalism side of things
than falling in love with a you know, kryptonite guy,
but you know it worked out. And then on TV
I would say Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of bel
Air and Claire Huxtable from The Cosby Show.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Let me give you a round the applause, Thank.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You, thank you. Two incredibly strong women, two women who
had it together. They took no guph and they were
good role models. Two women in those shows, and I
really found myself drawn to them.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They were both good role models and good moms.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yes, yes, yeah they did.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Nancy, Oh I heard.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I love the What is it the episode of Fresh
Prince where Aunt viv is in the dance class with
all the young kids and she goes in there and
shows them all up. Oh, incredible, incredible.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
There you go. Yeah, Well, let me Jordan's been.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
In hold for a while, poor Jordan. Get him in here.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Let me have him joined our conversation.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
H Jordan, I Nicol Fellow, New England Weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Or better, now that you're here, how are you friend?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Just fine?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Actually doing great, good good?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So, Jordan, I know your answer from the sixties, who
are to emulate?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Well, obviously m a peel, I mean, come on, I
mean that that you sort of stole my thunder. But
you know I'm gonna throw a wild card at you,
Morgan from the key word no, actually no, I'm gonna
throw a wild card at you though, And it's from
the Dick Van Dyke show. But it's not Mary Tyler Moore,
it's Sally Rogers Why played by Rose Marie Why because
(04:21):
she could handle herself with the boys, and she was
sharp as attack and when she and Buddy went at it,
I just thought, greatest, the greatest.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The funny thing about that, you know, and I all
three of us know, men dominated what we saw on
TV and movies. Writers were primarily men, producers primarily men,
Directors were primarily men. And the women that we saw
very very It was very rare to see them in
(04:57):
a lead role. They were either a co star or
supporting actress.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
And well, Nicole, you mentioned a couple of really good ones.
I mean, I think Diane Carroll and Julia Morgan would
have been a huge step forward.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Right, for the variety of reasons.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
For a variety of reasons. This is going to sound
like a weird one. But with Sally Field sister betrayal,
the Flying nun I mean, she flew for crying out love.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But you know what a very intelligent thing she was
being emulated. Some girl wanted to leave her friends and
join join the nunnery, and she said she had her
years as a teenager. They showed clips from Gidget Gidget
(05:50):
of course, and that was her teen years of rebellious
attitudes and surfing and whatnot. And she said, I lived
a life before I became sister betrayal. You've got to
live your life. And there you go.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Last one for me, Morgan, before I step aside and
let you and Jordan do your thing. I just thought
of Oohora from Star.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Trek oh sixties.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Star track Good.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Love Time. Yes, Michelle Nichols played Ohayota Uhura, and the
key is there were very few strong leading characters in
the sixties for women, of which was one of the strong.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Guests, much less black women.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
For what it's worth, I was going to say that,
but I left it for you.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
You're welcome, all right, and Nicole, I'm going to be
here for the next several days. I'm looking forward to
working with you over these several days.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I cannot wait, my friend. And it's good to hear
you both, and have a wonderful show tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Thanks Cale, and you take care.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
And Jordan, I'm going to let you answer this one
question that won't take a break and then dive into
this subject. Sure tell the busy audience how are you?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Thanks for asking. I am actually very well. I have
been working very hard for those who don't know, and
think everybody knows by now that listens to you. I
was diagnosed a year and change ago with Parkinson's, but
I have really rallied doing a lot of physical physical
activity that's really helped.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And man, I'm.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Stronger than I've ever been and I have my days
here and there, but I'm doing okay. So thanks for asking.
And I want to advise people out there to never
give up the fight, no matter what it is.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
No matter what it is, you bet you'll surprise yourself
when you look back and see what you've achieved in
defeating X. What if X happens to be?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
And if you put on a leather one pantsuit like
m appeal, you can beat anybody here here.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And I'm going to say this and then I'm going
to skidadle when I hit. I didn't say if I
said when that super duper make a million's jackpot. Tell
people a plan I have for you?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
A plan I have? Is it that condo in Boca?
Is that the planet for me?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You want that? That'll be a bonus. That'll be a bonus.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
What again was the plan.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I don't regret you're going.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
To be the lead. I'm bringing back an eighties TV
series and you are going to be the lead.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Well, don't tell me. I'll have to think about it
during a break. What are you exciting?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's the exercise that you do several times. Oh, okay,
and we'll tell people about that.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Pugilism is a hint. Okay, gotcha, that's a big hint.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
All right, there's one open line if you want to
jump on and join Jodan and I six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,
thirty eight, eight, eight, nine to nineteen thirty. I am
hoping we get more women calling in so I can
put this question to you. Time and Temperature here on Nightside,
Dans off tonight. If you ever figured that out. Dan's
off for the rest of the week, but he should
(09:17):
be back on Monday. I'm Morgan filling in Time and
Temperature eight sixteen forty one degrees.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Now back to Dan Way live from the Window World
Lifecense Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
This is Nightside, Sons, mister Ray. Dan is off for
the rest of the week. I think he was off
for Monday. I know last night Gary Titus was in
and I'm here for the rest rest of the week.
I'm Morgan Morgan White Junior. Jordan rich Is joining me
and we have a question out. We're hoping the women
in our audience will respond to that, just the way
(09:58):
I did with Nicole. What femle character not actress, what
female character kind of inspired you in your your development
years of elementary school, junior high, in high school. Let's go. Well,
I'm gonna jump the line, Neil. I know you've been
(10:18):
holding for like eighteen minutes, but since I have a
woman online as well, I'm gonna take Alison and then
come back to you. So Alison, you're first with Jordan.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Risch open channelty anyway, Yeah, anyway, So well I'll go.
I mean I could go a lot because I loved
Ann Francis's Honey West and yes uh and then you
just had her on the radio. I mean you just
had her on the show because West seventy Powers of April.
To answer, I love both of them, but I'll just
(10:48):
go with Laura Parker is Angeliq Bouchard on Nobody Knows
Your Last Name? Huh? I do on Dark Shadows because
she was just so incredible. She was. She was so beautiful,
but she was also so powerful, and she was also scary,
and I just I've just see you know, I loved
seeing her on the show, but it was always kind
of scared of her too. But I just thought she
was just amazing because she she really was a very
(11:10):
powerful character on the show. She drove a lot of
the plots.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And did you wish you would have those qualities that
she had?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Oh yeah, definitely, yeah, Oh yeah, yeah, she It was
the whole thing was kind of crazy but unrequited love
because she loved artivists and he didn't love her, but
he loved Josette, you know. But but I just I
loved I loved your character. It was very strange because
I was young and I was little and took me.
You know. At first, I was just terrified of her,
and then over time I thought, Wow, she's a really
powerful character. She's really cool. She's driving a lot of
(11:40):
the plots, usually in very destructive ways, but she is
driving a lot of the plots, and and she just
was amazing. I wish she should have had a much
bigger career, Lara Parker.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
But in those things, do you do you agree with
what I said that the pop culture world of TV
and movies is then by males. It's very rare. See, yeah,
a woman right there there. There are more now. It's
not the same as it used to be when I
(12:11):
was in those formative years of elementary, junior, high, and
high school. But even now there are more men that
are writers, more men that are producers, more men than
the directors. Do you find that true?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I don't watch a lot of modern television, to be honest,
but it is true. Certainly. I'm sure it still is.
And and back in the day even like you know
the women, I mean, I love, I love you know
it is Montgomery. But I always just wish she'd turned
Derwood into a toad and left him in the or
something because he's and you know, Dick York was good,
but oh god, he was so annoying. You know, she
was a really strong character. But but he her But
(12:49):
also she was trapped in that.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, you indure a bit.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Yes, she had a different she said, and and so
but some of the there was you know, obviously it
was on Inspire by James Bond. But when you got
Honey West, and that's the show that should be a
longer too, definitely, it is only on one year.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Do you know the show that created that character.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
It was an episode of Burke's Law, but I don't
know which what it was called.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But you are very good. Few people even remember Brookes
the Law.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I like, yeah, yea and Francis. I read interview with her.
She wanted she was so which did lasted longer? I
think it would have been better. I have been an
hour show. It was like it was just a little
It should have been an hour show. I think half
an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And I wanted to own a Rose Rice.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I was in junior ju junior high school that show
was still on and in the.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Phone phone in the car, I mean right, yes, I wanted.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
The phone hop.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Okay, thanks so much. Don't forget towed to Linda Thornton.
Loved her anyway. So I've covered nobody else needs to
call because I've covered everybody. You know?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Sorry, yeah you, uh, Neil, Neil, and on on your
next night side.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Good evening, Neil, Good evening, Morgan, and good evening, Jordan.
The one the one character I wanted to talk about
was Victoria Barkley played by Barbara Stanley. I thought of
her and I thought of one episode and maybe you
can help me with my memory. But it's called the
(14:36):
Long Ride. You remember what happened and that Oder got
terrorized and she lost her memory. Just so they were
a stage coach with James Weatherall and Paul Peterson and
Richard Anderson and and Kevin Hagen was the stage well,
just to just to take one part of that.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
The men all fled except for Paul Peterson, he was
killed because he was playing a soldier.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Was very wrote it.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
But the last one was Richard Anderson, who played Steve
Brumman and Perry Mason, I think, and he was a gambler,
so he took life as it came and he was
going to help her. But then they the bad guys
steal all the horses and all the water, and they
said you can ride out, peaceful, mister, and she said, no,
don't do it. Don't do it, mister Matson, You'll never
(15:22):
be able to live with yourself. The other guys they
could run because that wasn't going to bother them, but
he hesitated, and he was very ambivalent. Then he he
just left. And so Jordan, I know that I remember
once you were talking about Martin Luther King, and you
were considering the word character, and that's what the Barclays had.
The whole family had it. That's why they were successful.
(15:44):
But they weren't.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
They weren't.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
And no, it's a great show. You I just want
to mention one thing when you mentioned Richard Anderson. My god,
he was on every six million dollar Man, but that
was just women. But no, no, you're great, You're great.
You know, he was absolutely one of the most active
character guys ever in the sixties, seventy eight, even into
the nineties and thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Seven Riflemen episodes.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Now that you mention because I mentioned that at the
end he met her and they escaped and she defeated
the bad guys just by her wits and ingenuity and
he but so she saw him in the town. He said,
Miss Barkling, I'm glad you made it, and as you predicted,
I will have I have a hard time living with myself.
(16:32):
And if that's any satisfaction to you, And she says,
that's satisfaction to me.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Mister Manson.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Now if I could do one more, just just says
something that very brief that just something that you said,
like who influenced you now this, if you'll let me
be like Perry Mason said to the judge, I'll tie
it up. It's really it's the only person I ever
influenced when I was a kid was was Richard Boone
on Paladin because he was always quoting. He was always
(16:59):
quoting from which are frequently putting yes. And one day
the show is called Something to Live For and I
think John Anderson might have been the bad guy. But
I could get the actor's name, Rayford Barnes, and he
was the type of guy who was always gtting, pushed
around all us. Like with Paladin, helped him at the
end he sward at the bully and he kind of said, well,
how did I do that? So Patterson? So Richard Boone said,
(17:22):
courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not knows no release from
little things. So I looked it up and there was
that's from Amelia Earhart.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh wow, So have a bit of playing with the timeline. Yeah,
in the seventies Amelia Airhart, who's around in the nineteen
thirties into the forties, right.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Did you guys have the Paladin cards? The calling cards?
I had them, or no, oh you didn't have those.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Oh, man, I wish.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
I was born in nineteen fifty, so I was, well,
I guess they had them, so I should have been
able to have him.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Neil. Let me tell you this happened to me twenty
four hours ago. Give a dake. I do a show
on Tuesdays in Denham at the Midway Restaurant, and one
of the people yelled out, do Thanksgiving trivia. No, No
to Macy's Day Parade trivia. I said, okay, so I
(18:28):
did the basic questions, who do you always see at
the end of the parade? Santa Claus? Whoopee? But I
remember this from nineteen seventy and I said, these two
people were the hosts of Macy's Day Parade. And the
male teasingly said to the female, you know, if we
(18:51):
get married, if our characters get married, we would own
half of California. And she said, yeah, but I might
sign some paperwork that would give it all back to
me upon you passing first. That was Lauren Green and
Barbara Stanwick talking about talking about the Ponderosa and all
(19:16):
of the property that the Big Valley owned in and
around Stockton.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
R Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
There you go. I thought I mentioned it because I brought.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
That up just last night, Neil, So thank you very much,
thank you, Thanks, good night. I'm just wondering if guy
Williams of Zoro might have stopped by and you know, said,
wait a minute now, some of that land belongs to us.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Well, he could have, since he was in Bonanza as
well as Zoro. Of course, you didn't even know that
mean that when you first said that.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Help, I'm lost in space. What can I tell you more?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Oh my goodness, all right, I'm about to throw it
to news ladies, please call in. I don't want the
men to dominate a subject. I'm aiming at you who
influenced you as a TV character? Six one, seven, two, five,
four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine,
ten thirty. I'm here with Jordan rich on Nightside and
(20:16):
we're about to take a break. Time eight thirty, temperature
forty one degrees.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It's night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And speaking of Dan Ray, Rob is here producing, but
we have another heir to the throne in the production
room with Rob. Dan is here learning under the greatest
teacher there is to learn. If you're going to be
a producer BZ. That's the man to teach you, Rob Brooks.
(20:51):
So they're producing and one or the other lance of
the phone six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, thirty eight, eight,
eight nine two, nineteen thirty, there's one line open. Let's
go to David in New Hampshire to make room for
at least another person, David.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Good evening, Good Evening.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
When I heard your topic for the evening, I wanted
to attempt to turn this around just a little bit,
and this is aimed at Jordan. We had a conversation
about six years ago or so, but I wanted to
tell Jordan that I have been married for sixty two
years to a lady who I'm hoping served as an
inspiration to him when he was a young kid, because
(21:35):
she taught at Hebrew School in Randolph. And her first
name is Edva.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yes, yes, yes, of course I know exactly who you are,
and we did years ago, and it was lovely to
connect again and I couldn't agree more. All of my mentors,
she's one of them, and I appreciate that very very much.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
So nice.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
We are huge.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
Fans of yours and all of the administration on WBZ.
We fervently listen to all of you at night, and
I just wanted to drop this in pre Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well, thank you so much, David Best your wife.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That means a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you
for the call. And before I go to Genie in Hyannas,
I teased that when not if, yes, I had the
Mega millions and I have disposable income, like you wouldn't believe,
I'm going to resurrect a TV series from back in
(22:40):
the day, Spencer for Hire.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I was just you know what, I was thinking that,
and I was a little embarrassed to say it because, Okay,
tell me more why that.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I think that show? It ran for three years, It
should have run for another two at least. It and
Boston all over the place. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Parker, Robert B.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Parker for great stories, great backgrounds. I mean, Spencer would
be in Charlestown, would be in the North End, would
be in Roxbury, all no part of Boston and beyond
would be out of the reach of.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
That filming all the time on location.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
It was great on location.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now, the one thing about Spencer, he was a boxer.
He had that need to get into the ring to
keep his pugilism skills sharp and that's what you do now,
just for exercise, and you've become rather good at it.
(23:59):
And once I have that kind of money, I'm going
to be executive producer, all right, I will Heywick is
going to be a producer, okay, and you're going to
be the star.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Oh my goodness, you're making my head swell here. Uh
and I haven't the thing. One thing I haven't done
is is throw a punch and then have somebody punch back.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
We don't do that in my training. But I be
willing they Yeah, I mean I always.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
But I know how. I know how to duck and cover,
and I know how to uh jab and and uppercut
and uh you know, up through the shorts, up the
middle of you, if you know what I mean. I mean,
I can handle myself.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Now I need you.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
You could be hot.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
My days of being able to play hawk a long
since behind me. But I need somebody black, tall, with
a superb voice. And the only person I think is
Steve Burton.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I was thinking about him, Son of a gun. He'd
be perfect heart absolutely And if he can't do it
as brother Paul, so I mean either one.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I mean, they're great guy, Yeah, but Paul is a
bit more diminutive in comparison of those two in size.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, but can you see me standing next to Steve
Burton in a in a role as Buddy Cops.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I mean, you're the lead character. You're the lead character
except that, right a, Genie and Hyanna's you're next. Thank
you for taking the time to call Night's side.
Speaker 8 (25:46):
Hi, Morgan, how are you?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I'm fine, Jeanie, And how are you?
Speaker 9 (25:50):
I'm wonderful. So are you still talking about the female characters?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yes, clearly I am.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
Okay, Well it's I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Hi Jordan, how are you?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I'm great, Genie, that's okay to go ahead.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
So I wanted to say it's not from my time frame,
but Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Okay, that's actually a very good choice for all the
qualities she demonstrated in her trip to and through Oz.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah, courage and loyalty and love and all those things.
It's wonderful, by the right that you've seen Independent and
you have to see I guess the movie's out now, Wicked.
I mean I've seen the play. Is play is remarkable
and about strong female characters. Oh, good, good, Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Read the book probably like I want to say, like
ten to fifteen years ago, and I do want to
see it, but I'm going to wait until it comes
out because I've heard a lot of complaints about like
noise in the theater because everyone wants to sing along.
I don't want to sing along. I just want to
watch it.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Did you hear this they have already? It's like the
movie Back to the Future. When they shot that, they
knew it was going to be a three part film,
and they shot they shot all of it at once,
and then released it, you know, part one, part two,
part three. There is a part two in the can.
(27:31):
It's done, and they're waiting for all the money to
be made in the fuer were to die down from
the original one, and then the second part is going
to be released.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, I think a year from now, right, Morgan?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
And we can you name one other film that that
also shot two the successive films at the same time.
We've been talking a little bit good the one, the
one I just said, Uh, this goes back to the
late seventies, you know, Oh no, no, I don't know
(28:10):
this probably like other other than Back to the Future. No,
it was Superman one and two.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yes, right, Jordan, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Don't be sorry, or you're the best in the business.
I just been waiting for twenty years to top you
one one question, so I finally did.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Oh, oh you got you got it, he got me,
he got me?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Whoever get the answer?
Speaker 4 (28:37):

Oh my goodness, Yeah, I didn't mean to.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I'm not getting off that horse. I'm gonna I'm gonna
make that money and I'm going to come up with
a production company. Can you guarantee productions?

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Janet Waldo was the voice of Judy Jetson and Wow,
b Ben and Derrett was the voice of Betty Betty Rebel,
and Jerry Johnson was the voice of Wilma Flintstone.

Wow, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I'm sorry, Jane Vanderpeel don't so.

I remember very well the contest to name pebbles and
then the one to name Bam Bam.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
All right, please, I could take over now, but I'm
going to let you tell people about Okay, both of
them tell about the pebble story.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
So I was born in nineteen fifty one, so the sixties.
I was old enough to you know, get it. So
it was amazing. I mean, the Flintstones came on prime
time like seven thirty or eight o'clock, probably eight o'clock,
and like everybody watched them, you know, whole families. So
there was I guess, you know, to promote the show.
(38:47):
Wilma and Betty were pregnant at the same time, and.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Oh they weren't.
Speaker 8 (38:54):
Okay, then you correct me.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Bam Bam came into the picture the following year. Pebbles
came in season two and they had the whole everybody
in America writing and name Pebbles. In that episode. It
was kind of cute because Fred seized his baby for
(39:17):
the first time and he said she's a chip off
the old Flintstone Pebbles and that's how they came up
with the name Pebbles. And Bam Bam was an adopted
child and he was his father. His adoptive father was
(39:40):
j P. Got rockets, got rocks. I'm sorry, JP got rocks.
And they had a big court case of of why
he should be owned by the rebels and not the
rich guy, and the rich guy won. But he saw
