Charlie! Was it "A drink with Dionysius"

[Texas]

...where you asked us earlier this year "Did I just hear what I thought I heard?"

:oops: :lol: :oops: :lol:

I can't find that thread you started and at the time something happened where I didn't get to test the episode you were referring to but...I about lost it at work when I heard (if this is the episode) Fred Gwynne say "the line". (To which Robert Dryden replies "An excellent alias.") :lol: :lol: (And here it sounds like that word which so inflamed me when ACTUALLY said on that Joplin, Missouri station I posted about back around June.)

Blast it! :D I know that's not what Mr. Gwynne meant to say yet I'm almost nauseous from suppressing laughter at what he seemed to say...

:wink:

Please, refresh my memory.

I just listened to this episode not too long ago. What did Fred Gwynne say?

[Charlie]

Kurt,

That wasn't the program (if I recall correctly). I finally figured out what was being said on that one by listening over and over to that one sentence. I haven't listened to the one you are asking about (but I will soon). I think I deleted that earlier thread - not sure. :?

:oops: I just checked with two people at work to see if they hear it too.

Here's the setting: In "Drink with Dionysius" Fred Gwynne, who we know to be a consummate (Yale-trained?) actor, is playing a hoodlum who in turn is trying to sound refined and educated...so Gwynne's almost having to pull double duty. Robert Dryden is a detective who's trying to solve a crime (and is on friendly terms with Gwynne's character.)

Gwynne is talking about a woman he calls "Madame Venus", who apparently runs a brothel.

See if you hear what I think I heard... (http://www.cox-internet.com/drspeed/temp/madamewho1.mp3)

I heard it! wow! I can't believe people didn't say something about that in the 1970s. I can't believe an engineer didn't catch it.

I can't say I'd patronize an establishment run by a woman with that name. :oops:

That's pretty wild. It's hard to believe that it was intended that way but how else could it have been? Verrrryy strange.
