You're listening to one-on-one with DP, brought you by Canopy Street Market, on 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticket FM.com. Brian, you crushed it. You crushed it, Brian. Well done. The name of the Brady Bunch Kids Band name was the platters. The server platters, because they were trying to win. The prize was they wanted a platter for their parents' anniversary.

Oh, that's nice of them. right? Yeah, there's some shenanigans behind it. They had to sneak to do it. And then Alice happened to tune in to the Saturday morning local variety show and heard the kids, saw the kids on there and went and told the parents what was going on. Yeah. Yeah. Back in the day, John and Courtney, you're absolutely right. So some of the shows. Again, the Osmond's, the Partridge family. Ruben Kikade is one of my favorite characters of all the time, Partridge family. He was the agent manager slash outsider. And it was always weird.

Like, it was like, dude, why are you not dating the mom? Like, the mom's hot. What are you doing, man? Like, what are you doing? It was never implied that they might be? No, never was. It never was. He was just randomly there promoting them.

And this is just one of my favorite episodes is they get, he books them. He accidentally books them in a black. like Black Panthers fundraiser. And then they show up and jammed their way through it. It's pretty good. But yeah, Flip Wilson, Laughing, Sanford and Sun, Midnight Special. The Midnight Special is underrated in American folklore. We think of American bandstand and Soul Train as the two North Star iconic music shows.

and appropriately so because of the dancing. It was kind of the culture, and it was a part of the lingo is to have those two shows. But then the other side of it was the Midnight Special, Don Kirshner's Midnight Special, introduced us to one of the Americas's, maybe their greatest DJ,

and Wolfman Jack, who would host it, and then they would have bands perform live on there. And I'd love the fact that for most of their run, they perform live. So if you want to go back and see a music act from the 60s and 70s, Midnight Special. Midnight Special, if you can go back and see anybody.

Like, it was the thing, right? Dan from Canopy says, I bought so many albums from seeing the guests on Midnight Special. And it was like, I want to say it was Saturday Night. So before, I don't know if it was before Saturday Night Live or after. And that was another thing that culturally, Saturday Night Live introduced the country to a lot of music acts. like it was a big deal to I remember I'm old enough to remember

the first time Devo made an appearance on Saturday Live and that was what we did at high school parties we would have on the TV and we would watch Saturday Night Live to watch the music acts and you would turn it down for everything except for the music act ABC, yeah it was after Saturday Night Live

Dan you're absolutely right in their own lane he haul right everybody knew the song and you knew the artist. If you're a he-ho fan, that was when you found your true love and you were gone.

Bock, did you ever watch that or no? I have to know what you're talking about. Yeha. He-ha. You never watched He-ha. Uh-uh. Oh, good, man. Yeah, that's some things. That's some things. That's some things.

Craig, what's up, Craig? He says, yeah, Linda Carter and Wonder Woman. Another Virginia, another Virginia batty. Yeah, Linda Carter, you're welcome. Oscar Demon, yep, gloom, despair, agony on me. The Saturday Night lineup, yeah, Monty Python, Saturday Night's Special. Go, yeah, I can't argue with that. That's, that Saturday day, Saturday mornings.

So, yeah, Saturday. was the best day of television in the day. Because you had Schoolhouse Rock and all of the different cartoons. It was amazing. It was amazing. Ed Sullivan was Sunday night. And there was another one who introduced a lot. Laughing was good.

Yeah, Sebastian, yeah. He says watch Sunday best on Netflix, Ed Sullivan. It, Bach, culturally, Ed Sullivan is a hero that we don't give enough credit to it as well. Laughing with, you know, their disco dancers and their go-go dancers and Goldie Hawn and Artie Johnson and they, it was just special. And then Kyle and Lincoln, you and Brett are hilarious. You and Brett both went the same place at the same time. that in our era, Bach, on whatever your public channel was, there's an introduction in the 70s of British comedy,

started with Monty Python, and then it expanded to the one, the only, the legend, Benny Hill. And Benny Hill got so many of our teenagers in trouble because he was a bit raunchy. He was a bit raunchy. But if, Bach, if anybody ever gives you the Benny Hill signal

for naughtiness, which is your hand in a signal with the back of your hand to your forehead and a big smile on your face. And if you have glasses to look over the top of them, that was a Benny Hill thing. Like, Benny Hill,

week nights, public television. Man, that's so good. Good call. Calum Brett came in at the same time with Benny Hill. Good stuff. We'll toward the break.
