Wings Nuts

In this episode of Wings, "What the Cabbie Saw" (S.04E.12), Brian and Joe reunite with an old classmate they bullied, whom is now a cop, and Lowell takes a turn running Helen's counter. Emerson and Jarred will talk about that, plus they'll also discuss what this episode was really about. Also up for discussion is news of the date of episodes release, January 14, 1993, courtesy of Nantucket's Inquirer and Mirror. Yes, Jarred's audio is bad this episode. He recorded with the gain too high. He did his best to clean it up and make it listenable. Sorry! Won't happen again, okay. OK?!MUSIC BY - EJ FojasWRITE US: [email protected]

I just realized I mentioned Bob Lazar in this episode and this episode of Wings is from season 4 and Lazar worked at S4 at Area 51 - Whoa! But anyhoo, what we're here to do is talk about this episode of Wings, Exit Laughing, and what it's all about comes down to Helen dating one of Joe's old friends, and hes like a hunk and everything but Helen has just one teensy weensy issue with the dude that could complicate romance. Also Antonio wants his beauty rest but some neighbor is blowing leaves and waking him up, and Roy might just want to white night his little Italian friend. Emerson and Jarred are here to talk about every minute detail of the episode - way more actually than is necessary. Also, Jarred gets the Topogigio reference (you had to be there) but somehow even though it connects to him that that's an apt descriptor of Antonio it simultaneously flies over his head that Topogigio is Italian and Jarred thinks he's a bunch of other nationalities for some reason?! They're also reading news from the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror and other sources from the day of the episodes release, January 7, 1993.
