Episode 41: Like Father, Like Clown (...Like Hell)
Listen now
Description
O Mein Poppa! Chris Prentice and I sit down to talk about Krusty again. Namely, Krusty's tumultuous relationship with his dad - played by Jackie Mason.  And so, we discuss this episode that, while possessing a fair share of laughs, falls more on the sentimental side.

We also talk, briefly, about Caddyshack II. So... Trigger warning. Dig in.
