i really enjoy your episodes where you reminisce about the strange things that actually happened to you. listening to you both actually registering each memory and laughing is particularly infectious. and yes, i’m now convinced belleville is built on comedic toxic waste / ventriloquist dummy burial ground / et cetera; there must be an explanation for all the strange behaviour – it’s like ‘eerie, indiana’!
Joe Pesci baby!
