Again do I listen to these hilarious episodes. I once Idelson left and replaced "Rush,," with "Russell", I quit listening. The Russell episodes just don't have the attraction and the child actor they chose was too young and not a good enough actor to pull it off. "Rush" was a character easily identified with and adored, "Russell" was a very young boy shakily reading lines off a script. Anyway, it's a fabulous show and even more so knowing it was all written by ONE guy, the genius of Paul Rhymer. He used to be a newspaper writer til his editor discovered Rhymer's "man on the street" articles featured non-existent people - with goofball names just like in this show. I'd give my eyeteeth to read one of them.
