Bob and I continue the interview of Anthony Curtis and Frank B talking about Mattress Mack. When we finished last week’s interview (which you should listen to before this one), we didn’t think we’d be doing a second. But we had a lot of things we hadn’t spoken about and everyone was present and available to tape another hour, so we went back at it. You’ll be glad we did!
We welcome your questions – send them to us at [email protected], or you can find me at @RWM21 on Twitter.

You basically had Gilligan’s Island in this adventure – The Professor, the Millionaire, the plane captain, and Anthony can be Gilligan.
I love these types of stories, thanks for making the podcasts
Damn. I’ve always feared being cast as Gilligan.
The podcasts on this site always stop playing at random points in the playback. How do I fix this? It happens on my phone as well as my laptop.
