Ricky like stole heaven and that was it. Willy ran
Dolph or Randall rather he died, but he is considered
to be his nickname was. He was the most interesting
man in baseball because of all the things that he
(05:11):

goes way back, way back, like I believe the first
team he played for was the Washington Senators.

base when the when the riot, well the riot, when
the when everything broke out. Yeah, he was the player
that got called up when Thurman Munson died. Like there's
like five or six different things where he ended up
(06:07):
like he's Forrest Gump, like just in the middle of
like all these moments in baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:12):

I think he also at one point punched his manager
in the face, so that ended up.

come across a photo of her pre surgery?

all of the plastic surgeries. But she was like before
or before all the surgery started, she was like a
full on smoke show, Like she was gorgeous.

What was the first what was the impetus for the
first plastics? Was she just like, oh wow, I'm starting
to look a little aged, or like so I need
to tighten up.

thing about her life and she was ready to go,
and I think that it's already done, so now they
have to release it.

what he was.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
But Linda Lavin was such a Broadway star, but then
when she got exactly when she got the sitcom because
because Broadway stars back then weren't part of like the
sort of pop culture era. You know what I mean,
Broadway stars back back then, you didn't. You didn't have
like Hamilton and stuff like that. That that god ca't no.
